Good morning,
I just got a Lumia 830 as a side phone to my Lumia 1520. I started the phone last night and logged in with my Microsoft account during the setup. The phone prompted me if I wanted to pull the settings from a backup I did last week from my Lumia 1520. I selected yes and overnight the setup completed on my Lumia 830.
Everything seems to work out fine but I have a few questions.
1. How do I keep the settings, Start screen layout, etc., the same between the two?
2. Do I need to turn off the backup settings on my Lumia 830 and use the Lumia 1520 as the master layout?
3. If I install an app on my Lumia 1520, will it show on my Lumia 830?
4. On the Windows Phone website, how can I change the name of my phones? Because I used the backup from my Lumia 1520, now the name assigned to my Lumia 830 is Lumia 1520.
Edit: I found out that the Windows Phone sync program for desktops can be used to change the phone's name. Simply plug your phone into your computer and open the program. The program will prompt you if you want to change the phone's name.
Final, somewhat unrelated question,
I left my Lumia 1520 on still and when I awoke to my alarm I have on it, the phone completely froze when I tried to turn the alarm off. The phone continued to repeat the alarm for 15 minutes before it registered the reset command. Could it be related due to the fact I had my Lumia 830 on? Additionally I had the Lumia 1520 run a settings backup before I went to sleep so I can have the latest layout on my Lumia 830 in the morning.
Thank you for all the help. I look forward to reading all provided advice.
