Lumia 950 XL :: Start Screen Not Syncing From Previous Phone Backup
Dec 15, 2015
Just got myself a lumia 950xl. Previously had a 930.
Restored my 930 backup to my 950xl. My start lumia930 start screen didn't show up though. I didnt sign up fpr preview of wp10. Is that normal? Do I have tp reconfig my start screen.
Also, it seems to me that b the whites of my screen appear yellowish....
I lost my nexus 5, 15days ago. All photos were saved in google photos. yet my account is not showing any backup of those pictures. All other google apps have successfully retrieved data but google photos has no backup. Is there anyway I can retain those pictures?
I have uninstalled Insider. Went to store to install, it said, it's installed. Restarted the phone, installed Insider, selected fast ring, reboot. Now, when I unlock the phone, I see "Loading ... " on the black screen with dots flying above. Is that a problem? What exactly are we loading?
I just received my new Lumia 900 yesterday. Searched the forum for an answer, bot no luck. Question is,can the one assign contacts to the phone speed-dial as on previous phones (in my case Nokia E7).?
Cant understand why the backup to PC of vital Lumia phone information such as contacts, calendar and messges can not be easily and quickly achieved as with the Nokia suite and N8. I believe it is synced automatically to Sky-drive but I cannot find evidence of this. I would like to have control of this data for easy retrieval and stored on my PC. Windows phone software on my PC is sub standard in comparison with Nokia Suite. It is clunky, contacts cannot be backed up, photos have no picture reference when transferred and the overall Windows Phone software on my PC is second rate in contrast to the Windows Phone 8 phone experience. Can anyone enlighten me on how I can easily copy my contacts to PC. No problem getting contacts into the phone. Just unclear on how to get a copy of them out.
On my Lumia 1020, long press on an office file and pop up menu gives an option to Pin To Start. Is this possible on 950? Because I can't get it to do that.
Today when I was using my new lumia920(an app for reading)the phone just restarted by itself and stuck on the starting screen(black screen with white NOKIA),what should I do..
Back in 7, or 8, there used to be an app that would allow you to create "Labels" on the start screen as some sort of separator...between tiles Is it still around for 10 mobile? I can merge tiles in to one big tile, but I am looking for something else...
Alarms going off behind the start or lock screen? There's no way to snooze or dismiss without unlocking the phone. By the time I do that, I've woken everyone else up because it takes so long!!
Had a few small niggles with the phone in my first week but now had a pretty major one.. Went to the start screen and just got a 'resuming...' message which stayed that way for about 30 minutes.. had to turn the phone off and on again to clear it.
I accidentally deleted all my contacts from my cloud settings, prior to backing it up on the computer. I hadn't realized it until I checked my phone again. Now the current backup has no contacts. Is there any way to restore my phone from a previous back up?
I'm trying to setup my start screen, and unless I use one of the stock wallpapers it is off-centered. What is the correct resolution to use for the wallpaper to where it doesn't jump around when I scroll down or move to the app tray.
I have the lumia 1020 and I have upgrade to Windows phone 10.I wanna put some photos in favorites and in start screen..somehow one I can not put one specific photo in start screen even it is favorite.
So I'm playing around with 8.1, and am trying to get an image I like as my start screen background. But no matter what I do to resize the image in Photoshop or what have you, my 1520 always wants to crop it. I want to use the entire image.
I just got my 1520 and the screen will randomly start freaking out. It backs out of apps, goes to the multi tasking selection and it shakes like its being swiped rapidly back and forth.
I recently bought a 1520 to use on T mobile. An 938.3 that works great except there isn't an option for adding a 3rd column under start+theme. I am using 8.1 from the developers program.
I just got the new lumia 950 xl in the mail after i put in my old sd card the phone gets stuck on the boot up is it a phone problem or is the card broken...
I've asked this before, and I've searched a lot and nothing seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. Maybe I just don't know how to interpret the results.Anyway, I recently restore my iPhone to eliminate all of the clutter and cydia problems I was having. I decided to JB with Redsn0w this time (instaed of blackra1n) because I've been told it's a lot smoother. I was also told to ensure the same problems don't restore, It's vital that I set up my phone as a new phone. Before I do that though, I want to save my text messages so I can put them back on my phone after I set it up as new. It is the only thing I'd really care to save. (Apart from my phones usage information, if anyone knows how to do that aswell, let me know!).So if anyone can let me know a quick and easy, (or long and complicated... whatever it takes) FREE way to save my messages so I can put them on my phone again after I set up as new, and JB with Redsn0w.
For about a week or so now I've been having issues with my 1520. At random times the screen will start shaking as if it's trying to scroll two directions and it will sometimes randomly click things on the screen. It pulls up Cortana alot and the capacitive buttons will stop responding all together. It only stops when I press the power button to turn off the screen but it just randomly starts later. I've tried a soft reset and that did nothing.
Whenever im at the homescreen, and i tilt the phone to the left..it will start switching to another screen..when i do this in the browser/message or something the cursor will start moving which messes everything up..is there a problem with it or is this a setting?
I accidentally updated the iphone to version 5.1.1 without a recent backup!! Now it seems that I have lost most of my data except for my contacts!! Is it possible to retrieve my previous data?
I just downloaded the new OS, and for some reason my contacts got messed up.
Some contacts were tripled, and doubled, some numbers were moved to different contacts, or deleted.
Is there a simple, or any kind of way to get back my old contacts list from a previous backup, while at the same time keeping the new OS, and replacing only this contact list?
