It seems that everytime I reset my Tour, my Yahoo & MSN email icons revert back to the original default look, losing the Y! and MSN logos. I have to resend the service books inorder to get the logos to appear in the bottom of the email icon. Anyone else have this annoying issue?
Had this phone for one month. When I tried to shut it down today, it stayed on the 'nokia' screen for a few hours. I tried to forcefullly shut it off by pulling out the battery. The fone shut off. But, when I place the battery back and turn it on, it stays at the same 'nokia' screen. Tried this a few times and no help yet.Any ideas anyone? Any way to reset the phone without losing my photos,videos, voice recordings and music?

So I bought myself a 950 last Thursday and from the beginning I've noticed some problems with the WiFi connectivity. Turning it off and leaving it on 4G would cure all the problems described below.
At first I thought it may have been due to the vast amount of updating apps but after all of that was done (struggled with various errors there too, though).
Now here is what's been happening ever since. When I pick up the phone to do some browsing, it's usually fine at first, but a minute later it would seem that the phone loses the WiFi connection. Edge would say this: [URL] ....
Windows Central app says this every time I open it (even though the newest articles are loaded): [URL] ....
The Store is the worst. It says it's "Acquiring License" for a minute and only then it starts downloading the app which stops usually right away or half way through. Only on rare occasions does it fully download the app. [URL] ....
By the way, I am on Build 10586.29 (not part of the Insider program).
Yesterday I upgraded my phone from a Lumia 720 to a 1020 and everything is ok except it wont display pics/photos on Facebook or 6tag. Which is very annoying as this phone is meant to be the flagship phone and it cant or wont display pics.
I have a new 1020 camera, latest 8.1 developer preview, but can't generate DNG pics. With DNG setting, only small JPG is produced. How to confirm working DNG capability with OS 8.10.12393.890? If so, what are your firmware and hardware revision numbers?
I have turned off all background applications, 3G, and put phone into battery saver mode. The phone was charging with USB power and only serve as a GPS in my car running Nokia Drive. And I found the power was dropped by 20%in within two hours.
Is anyone else having a problem with their Lumia 822 losing it's data connection? My phone loses it's data connection at least once a day. The only way I have found to get it back, is to turn the phone off and back on, which is a pain. It seems to happen a lot at night, but has happened a couple of times during the day. It can be hours before I notice that nothing is coming in or updating.
I've been "practicing" a bit taking pics in random enviorement and I noticed every pic I take in low light is blurry. I cant set focus manually cause the screen is almost black, the pics come out nice except theyre blurry. I dont have alzheimers so my hand dont shake and I tried many settings. How to make them okayish ?
I have a 1020 and I have found that periodically and randomly I find that a contact record is gone. I have about 1200 records. Just now I went to get the address for my wife's cousin. The record was gone. Fortunately I have a spreadsheet of all my contacts that I got the info back from.
I'm the IT person at a business that has 4 dozen older Windows Phones deployed (920/830/640). I'm currently going through a "testing" phase with myslef and 4 other senior managers having the new Lumia 950.
We like the 950's but noticed an issue that makes it a "no go" for upgrading most of the rest of our staff, and many of them need upgrades.
We are in the construction industry, and for insurance reasons we are required to take numerous photos of our work at jobsites. Currently, our dozen or so field crews take photos, and as they leave each jobsite they email those photos to our dispatcher. All our current Windows Phones will automatically scale down the photos taken to a smaller size for ease of emailing. A typical emailed image file size averages 260KB. Our field crews email in approximately 1400 photos per day to dispatch, with an average of 9 photos per email.
The problem is the new 950, at least with the default camera app, has its lowest MP setting as 8MP, and it does not scale down the images for emailing. I've tried several times, and individual emailed images are around 6MB. It only takes an email with 2 photos to choke most email servers.
I recently went and got the Nokia 1020 phone for the camera. I was really disappointed when I realized the pics that were viewed on the phone where only 5mp pics and that you had to hook it up to a computer to view the hi-res pics. Well I accidentally discovered a way to view the hi-res pics on the phone though you do still need to hook up to a pc. I was going to cut and paste the hi-res files to my pics folder when my hand slipped or had a spasm or something but whatever happened the next thing I know it was copying the pics back to the same folder on the phone. All the images said hi-res copy were you could see a preview like you can the low res images. So to verify I opened the camera roll on the phone and there they are both the low-res and hi-res of each pic. Well now if only we could do this without hooking up to a PC at all.
I've been viewing low light shots taken by Lumia 920 from different websites. I'm viewing them at 100% view and I don't see any hot pixels. However, mine is producing tons of hotpixels. My setting is ISO 100 and Night and on a diy tripod mount.
Lost my phone recently and now have a replacement. Kids are texting me pics of my grandchildren which I am unable to download. The latest text I got reads "Get media content now (174KB)" which is underlined as a link. I tap on the words and then get a message "Getting media content (174KB)". It shows that for a minute or two and then goes back to the first message. Is there something in the "settings" that is causing this problem?
I have just done some Post Processing Pics via Lightroom 4. I tried to transfer back the pics back to the phone via UBS cable, the phone registered the transfer as successful but I am able to open / even locate when I using the phone. The folders under Pics, Saved Pics all showed up empty without the Post Processed Pics.
Each time I restart my phone, it loses the current date and time and set's it to some apparent random day. This last time it chose the 16th of May 2012.
I took delivery of it yesterday and it's been fully charged. I've set the Date+time to 'Set Automatically' to 'On'
Will like to check what are the photo-editing programs (free to download from the net) that you will recommend if you will like to do some post-processing of the full size image at 38MP via desktop/laptop.
I just took my Lumia 920 out of my pocket and it was at the intro/reset screen of 'let's get started...' It lost everything. What the hell?Is this common?
during windows update today my 950 XL turned off (full battery). When I started it again it goes through boot process and starts with rotating gears (I guess it is installing update) but 2 seconds after i get sad face icon.
I tried to hard reset it holding power and vol down keys but it is never reaching the "exclamation mark" point. It just loops... I installed recovery tool on my PC but it is not recognizing the phone. Restarted PC - the same situation.
