I'm waiting (im)patiently for the update, and nothing so far! I'm tempted by one of the other methods, like the upgrade assistant, but it says it needs 16GB free space!!

Hmmm, that wouldn't be good. I love having the desktop.

I believe Windows 10 desktop version is the one that the Stream 7 will get upgraded to. Hopefully that is the case anyway!

Yeah all working great now!

I ended up doing a hard reset and restored my backup info, happy enough, tiles working again, just have to re-pin what I need. Shouldn't really HAVE to do that though.

It's looking like nothing will fix this for me, I even reinstalled some apps and they're still not updating. Frustrating.

I already rebooted a few times and no luck, don't know what could be wrong, I will reinstall one of the apps and see what happens. Should've left alone, but then again it really shouldn't be this hard.

The other day I decided to block all background tasks for apps, so that I could re-enable them on a one by one basis. So I blocked them all and then when I wanted to enable it for an app I ticked the box for enabling it when the app is next started. This seemed to work okay, but then I noticed...

Yes I have heard that happen on mine, not sure what it is but just assumed it was normal.

I don't believe the Windows Phone 8 OS allows anything to operate like that, if the phone is off everything is shut down, won't do anything. If you bought your 8X in the UK I don't believe there is any wireless charging circuitry built in, it is only the 8X sold in the US on Verizon network.

It still was the same today, wouldn't update or download any Windows Store apps, then i realized it wouldn't search for Windows updates on the desktop either. I found out on another forum that if you reboot the machine, then go to c:\windows\software distribution\downloads ( I think) and delete...

Dropbox is available across practically any platform

Just happened once or twice, usually it is fine though with no issues

There might have been a problem with the Store, as yesterday I couldn't download or update anything

I also had a big difference between Beats being on and off before the portico update, now after the update there seems to be very little difference. Seems to have made beats worse for some reason
