L1520 doesn't work properly after win10 update

[Windows Central Question]

Last month i updated my L1520 to win10 from WP8.1 , but after the update process my phone works so badly , my problems are as followings

-Battery drains fast, when my battery percentage is between 30%-40% phone turns off itself and doesnt work until i plug it in.
-Screen problem just got me crazy that everytime i have to lock my phone then open and it works again , even because of that my navigation bar buttons' lights doesnt work cuz i punched the screen a lot
-Groove Music sometimes cant identify the singers and songs.
-And last I did 'soft reset' for 4 times almost but the phone doesnt work properly.

So , what you guys suggest me to do ? Hard reset or to sell my phone ? Or there is another way to solve all these problems ?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Hi, you haven't mentioned whether you are running the official Windows 10 update or an Insider build.
A hard reset will usually fix a lot of the errors you have mentioned.
Also the Lumia 1520 runs Win10m very well, from reading users posts on here.
If you have any further questions you would be better advised signing up to this forum, so that you can reply to this thread.

Hi , sorry for late reply , i update my phone with official win10m update , so what should i do now ?

 

[charlatan1978]

If it was my phone first I would use the Windows Device Recovery Tool to check I was running the latest firmware. If not the latest I would reflash, then upgrade again to Win10m and lastly after upgrading back to Win10m I would hard reset.
Can you try that and report back?

I have the same problem. I need my phone for work so need a solution fast! I've had the phone for over two years. Maybe it's at the end of it's life?!

Did you Reset the Phone after Upgrade?

Settings > System > About > Reset your phone.

Users that do this seem to have a much smoother experience that those who don't.

Before you do a hard reset, be sure to install the "contacts+messages backup" app and grab a backup of your SMS/MMS. Otherwise, you are not guaranteed to get them back.

I intend to upgrade my 1520 to W10M. Should I do a hard reset before or after is better?

Just noticed that the transfer to mac app no longer work and it's no longer in the apps store. Looks like I need to grab an SD card now.

Yes. After.

Just saying: I had big problems when I upgraded to Redstone, 14xxx, from 8.1, battery drain, frequent crashes. Eventually, it almost bricked my 1520.3. I know that was the risk I took when I signed up for Insider, but be forewarned.

WDRT is easy and automatic. It is an official tool, not some complicated hack.

Alternately you could try going to Settings > System > About > Reset your phone.

WDRT will take you back to 8.1. Reset your phone will take restore the same W10M version you have now, but is a clean install (just like WDRT is). Either one should smooth out your issues.

Can you afford to keep running a gimped phone?
