Hi guys! Regards from Argentina
Alright... Let's see if the luck is on my side and someone answers to me. This thread is really, really large, so I apologize from not having the enough time for reading it all. I've got a Lumia 1020; I had installed the previous build (10080 I think), but, as for many of you, it ended up becoming unusable and I returned to Windows 8.1
Now that this new build has been released, I've installed it. It works pretty fine for me but yet it has some bugs; some of them, as I've read, was experimented by many of you. Anyway, there is a couple of them about which I'd like to focus and to ask.
The News and Weather apps' live tiles doesn't seem to work. Is there someone whom
really has worked to do hard-reset, punctually for this issue? I mean, often the hard-reset solves most of bugs and sometimes we tend to suggest it without analyzing each bug in particular.
The reason why I ask it so insistently is that... I really don't want to lose my progress on games and my Whatsapp messages. I can, despite I'll cry pretty much, resign the former, but not the latter. I've been doing some research work and, at least on W8.1, it seems that Whatsapp has been included on the list of apps considered by the OneDrive Backup function.
The blog entry where I've read it dates december 2014. But the true is never, ever, on none of the times I've hard-resetted my phone and then chose to restore from OneDrive, while having both W8.1 or 10 installed, my Whatsapp messages were restored. It's true that one possible reason to this is not having installed the app, but this is a paradox since it's supposed you're on an instance where you can't install anything yet. What's more, the OneDrive Backup function also saves an application list, so it's expectable they're installed automatically and, after that, the restorable data of each of them are to be restored.
Apart (or not) from all above, on Windows 10 we have a new set of options under the Backup section that lets us to have a better control on the functionality, but, I don't know you; I don't see Whatsapp on the "participant applications" list.
So, to sum up, the questions are... Will a hard-reset really solve the News and Weather apps' live tiles bug? If yes, will I be able to restore my Whatsapp messages after hard-resetting? Maybe should I choose not to restore the backup, install Whatsapp manually, and only after that, to log in to my Microsoft account and say Yes to restoring?
