Lumia Icon :: Texts Not Restoring With Insider Preview
Oct 30, 2015
Upgraded to newest build, all photos, etc. have sync'd, but not a single text message has downloaded from prior to installing this preview. I've changed every setting I can think of, but nothing works....I've never had this issue with 8.1. I let it sit overnight on wifi, and , I'm having no luck at all. Not trying to be pessimistic, but I hope my texts aren't gone. I really don't want to have to go back to 8.1 to get them back, as I'm digging WP10.
I've just updated my Lumia 1020 to Windows 10 preview 10572. Everything seems ok but for one thing - I can't install the twitter app. It's in the store an allows me to start installing, but it either fails after completing installation, or after restoring user data. I then get an error message with the error code 0x8103010F. I have tried soft resetting several times, but it will not install the app in full. Every other app seems fine, it's just the twitter app that has the issue.
How to go back to 8.1 from the 10 preview build i have reset my phone several times and still nothing no matter what i do i cant seem to go back iam worried iam going to be stuck with it till july when the full build comes out if thats the month it does....
I have used my Icon fine with the Preview for Developers version of WP 8.1, until the latest update.Since then, I've had trouble booting the phone when doing a soft reset (it took 3 cycles of going to the red Verizon screen, sitting there for a minute, rebooting on its own before it loaded WP). Also, I had an issue with the lock screen becoming unlockable, and looking like a screenshot of the start screen... kind of hard to describe, but the Start screen slid up like the lock screen, but without the keyboard to unlock. That's happened twice in the last few days and I had to do soft resets (which led to the issue mentioned above).
Today, the phone spontaneously just rebooted itself, while sitting unused on a table. Very odd, haven't seen that before.I should mention that when I first installed the update, I got a Blue Screen error when it booted up, and I had to reboot manually.
Given that WM10 is so new, I was just wondering if people were signing up for Windows Insider or just going to wait for regular updates when they come available.
I have a problem with Windows insider app when I click 🔎 get preview builds and to ➡Microsoft account it return to (get preview builds) I tried to reinstall it but it still the same,
My french Lumia 950 XL DS on build .29 won't find insider builds, no matter if I choose fast ring or slow ring.... Are the insider build distributed in waves? Or is my device faulty? (I hardresetted several times)
I've decided that I'll use a local SIM card when I get there, but I was wondering about what happens to the texts and phone calls that my US SIM card will receive while I'm away. Is there a way to set up an "auto reply" message to incoming texts that lets them know they won't be getting a response any time soon?
For my voicemail, I use ISeeVM, and don't know how to change my greeting there either--I tried, but it wouldn't let me preview, and I didn't want to save if it didn't actually record anything, so I just canceled out of it. I have the free version, so maybe I can't even record a new VM message anyway?
I'm new to the icon and am loving it so far. My family mostly has iPhones, when they send group texts I get the message "get media content now". When I click on it I can't get the content of the message. My family has tried enabling SMS on their phones but it has had no effect.
my phone has stopped receiving text messages until hours later. If im in the messaging app, i tap on a new text ill reply and it wont show that i replied. I then wont receive messages until hours later when I guess it finally has sent? Also, in my messaging its showing messages from years ago. I dont want my texts to save or to be backed up or restored.
i would like to turn off the SMS preview when i get a message. Is this not possible? i have just bought a lumia 800 nice phone...some really good features.
I've just recently got my 1020, I love it, I'm new to Windows Phone, I've been on iPhone since it's inception. When I take a photo on the 1020, and view it straight after, is it showing me the 41mp (or 34mp perhaps) version or the 5mp version? In settings it's set to take both 5mp and 34mp. But it seems as though the quality of the photos is quite low, especially when you zoom in a little! I'm still trying to work out if there's an improvement when I export it to the computer, maybe this is something to do with viewing it on the phone? I used the HD Photo Viewer app, I didn't notice a difference but maybe I will after a take more photos.
I've downloaded the windows recovery toolkit. It'll let me download the firmware (1.6gb roughly) but then it tells me that it can't find my phone after it finishes the download.
I made the mistake of putting the tech preview on my main driver and my battery is dying ridiculously fast (among other instabilities)...
I installed a new camera update on my 1020 the other day and I can no longer preview the photo immediately after taking the picture.
The only way to view it now is by checking it in the gallery. It was handy to preview the photo to check whether I needed to re-shoot it due to blurriness, blinking etc..
I've checked all the settings and I can't find an option to bring it back.
My girlfriend's Lumia 1020 is unbelievably slow. It takes forever to load apps like Messenger or WhatsApp, etc.
Any app in general. Just really slow to load up. It's also laggy sometimes.
WP is a really efficient system, so there must be a software-related fix, as the hardware is still good. She is running WP 8.1 Developer Preview. She doesn't have a ton of apps, and she closes her apps after using them. I know she doesn't have a lot of space left of storage, around 1.2 GB, but it's something.
I got my new Lumia 800 delivered this morning and my old N8 taken away as it was broken - so I no longer have the old phone but need to restore my contacts, messages, calendar and music - desperately, too. I have the backup file that I took yesterday from my N8, but Lumia 800 is not compatible with Nokia Suite so I have installed Zune. This doesn't work either, as I cannot find the option to restore a backup - so I don't know what to do?
Possible to restore high res photos on the 1020 after flashing? Before flashing my 1020 with a country variant, I backed up all my images (pro and high res) to the computer then after flashing, I copied them back to the phone. However, when viewing the images in the gallery or even from ProCam, there's no option to view the image in ProCam so effectively, I have lost the ability to view the high res versions. This is a bit of a shame as I can no longer show off the impressive pinch to zoom as well as other features.
I have some old MS Live account backups from older Lumia devices that are dated back to 2012. I saw them when I first restored from back-up today. How do I delete these from MS servers? I tried going to OneDrive about 2 months ago and deleting them there, but they are still reappearing somehow on new phone restore.
My phone is back from repair again and again I cannot restore saved before reset app data. It says on the web that I get a msg asking to restore it when I put in my microsoft account but I didn't get any.
Yesterday I updated to 5.1.1. I use handcent and now when I get a text message it shows the normal icon as it is coming through, but then it just goes to a star icon. If I pull down the menu, it shows the normal icon. After doing some research I found something that says it is interruption mode, but my phone does not have anything in settings or by pressing the volume button doesn't give those options either. How to remove the star icon? I have different icons set up for different people and I would like to be able to look at the notification bar to see who it is from without having to swipe down.
I did a hard reset on my 1520 and reinstalled Build 10149 after there was a problem, which I solved by doing the reset, but now charging it takes a year and a half to complete (5 hours remaining on 50%) and the charging icon keeps blinking?
My wife has a 4S i phone and can dictate her text messages, which is nice since she cannot type at all. I have the i phone 4 but cannot seem to locate the microphone icon on my screen for texts that she has, nor find anything in sound settings to figure out how to do the same. Is this an app i need to download OR any other suggestions on how to set up ability to dictate the text message for times when I cannot type, such as driving?
I'm getting "Saving" after taking a couple photos in a row on my Icon. At first it would shoot and shoot, now I just get a couple and then it slows. I've filled up and emptied the phone a bunch (I shoot a LOT of photos/videos).
