How do I download apps on windows phone with store closed down?

How do I fix this?

Hey there. I recently purchased this Lumia 900, running WP7.8 8862.

I absolutely love Windows Phone 7. I don’t know why.

Needless to say, i only learned about WP7 being useless without unlocking and etc in 2024 after getting it.

I was also gonna reflash the stock WP7.5…. but oh well. I guess you cant do that.

Is it 100% not possible to unlock it (without soldering and stuff) in 2024?

Title pretty much says it all, as a proud owner of a Lumia 1520 in pristine condition I was curious what the motivation would be to put one of these devices into service.

Mines running Windows 10 and served me very well years ago.

So, i just got a Microsoft lumia 640 lte.
I have updated it to windows 10 mobil and downloaded what i thougt would be all the updates.
But i'm now stuck on 10.0.15063.1868, and as i have understand it, the latest version is 10.0.15254.603.

Is it posible to update this phone to the latest update, and how do i do it?

Few years ago I used to download all the windows phone styled apks such as launcher 8, messaging7, photo safari, wp7 lock, wp7 keyboard, wp7 dialer, wp7 phone, wp7 contact, zplayer, metro notification, wp7 calculator.

It used to give a feeling of almost using a windows phone. Today I tried to replicate the same thing. First of all it was very difficult to find all those apks. After my whole day of search I found all of the apks. Then came the problem of installation. None of the apps were installed because of sdk target level issue. Finally I installed all the apks through 'adb' by-passing sdk target. Even after installing half of the apps didn't open, some crashed and some opened but with bugs.

I understand that all those apps are very old and it won't run properly in modern devices. But I just wish we had all those apps that replicated windows metro ui for modern devices.

I'm working on a new video for my YouTube channel, focusing on the Nokia Lumia 800. Instead of just a standard review, I want to dive into some personal stories and nostalgic memories tied to this iconic phone. The technical details are interesting, but it's those early smartphone experiences that really bring it to life. I’d love to hear if any of you have your own Lumia 800 memories or thought

So I got this Lumia XL 950 I found like it just came out of the box. I forgot how much I loved this phone. I forgot how much it did that no one else had at the time.

Question, since literally no app but edge (kinda) works, what can you do with it? I can check outlook email but not office 365.

What apps work, what CAN you do? Anyone wrote a guide of sorts?

Oh god, I miss windows phone.

I have these phones buy the lot for £60 or £100 with x3

Should i buy a HTC thropy 7 for ≈ 10$ without a battery?? Like for nostalgia and exploring WP7 no screen cracks etc.

Nostalgia hit when I did weekend cleaning my collection of boxes.

All of the devices are still with me except the 950XL (sad).

I charge the phones from time to time but some do not power on anymore

What apps can I use in it? I just want it to use as music player and camera. And ofc for receiving call with nokia tune ringing. Can I use Spotify? Or other alternative if any? Help someone.

I have a lumia 930 that of course has support for wireless charging, and it worked fine few days ago, then today I decided to charge it wirelessly but it just does not charge. The charger charges other devices fine including my 830. When I place a phone that does not have wireless charging the charger blinks green and blue, when it charges a phone it is blue but with this phone it just doesn't light up. What could cause this.

Im just done unlock my 730 bootloader, can actually LumiaWOA on it ? 🤔

Im new here, sry. But is it possible to learn this power?

In any browser I've installed they say browser is too old and that's it 😭
