Issues Installing WP Preview

[sguy156]

Having issues installing WP on my go phone 635. Used nokia recovery tool to restore the phone to factory and then installed windows insider app . Phone keeps on saying checking for updates but never downloads the preview..

Is this a known issue with this phone when it comes to WP preview ??

Have you registered in the Windows Insider app?

 

[sguy156]

Yes , I did that and it said registering the phone... May be it needs to downloads all the 8.1 updates before the WP preview is installed ..

If I recall correctly, after registering you have to reboot your phone, and it should then find the update. This can sometimes take a little while. Make sure you have a strong wifi connection!

Got it to work finally bt now it doesnt see the sd card. Is there limitation on the size it supports ?

The max size is 128 GB as far as I'm aware.

Do you mean you downloaded and installed build 10166 and after the install your SD card is not detected? If so then this is a known issue with this build.

A Lumia will also support a larger SD card then 128GB but there are not yet that many larger cards and the ones who are available are still very expensive.

Really? The Microsoft website says "Maximum memory card size: 128 GB" :shocked:

Yes, the 128 GB is because that it the current max size you can buy. (But now you already can buy the 200 GB card). If you check spec's for "old" model like the 520, 820 etc. the you see the max size 64 GB because in that time the 64 was the biggest but there are people who use the 128GB.
