    Never had a phone that was so much work before

    I didn't restore a backup, I think? I used TransferMyData just for contacts and texts. I never move photos to new phone, and I don't keep music on my phones. Ryujingt3, I put the phone away ready to return, but I'll see if I can get a screenshot quickly before I take it back.

    Never had a phone that was so much work before

    Thanks all. It was the 830 (2 yrs old) which was restarting each time I put it down. I went to the "Answer Desk" I don't want to be disparaging, but I'm not sure the gentleman there knew any more about Lumias than I do. He messed with it for a few minutes then told me it was defective and I...

    Never had a phone that was so much work before

    I got my new 650 yesterday to replace my 830, which developed some quirks (restarting every time I put it down on a desk/table, etc.) I've never had such a difficult phone EVER. I'm seriously thinking of returning it. This is my 4th Lumia. It shouldn't be this hard. I can't get Cortana to...

    Can anyone recommend a mileage tracking app please?

    Thank you for the suggestions. Albertico, that's not the app, sorry. It's Driver's Log, not logbook, which doesn't seem to have starting and ending odometers. I think they removed the app, as when I look at my purchased apps it's in there, but if I click to download it, I get an error message...
