The phone is from China, I opened the box today and setup and connected to Wi-Fi and put on charging, after few hours got the notification that it received an update, now it's updating.
I was under assumption that microsoft servers for win 8.1 are not working, so I shouldn't be getting any kind of update, what's going on?
So, I remember relatively few things about this game, but if there is one clear piece of information about it, it's that I played it on a Windows phone. I don't remember the version of the phone, but its edges were very sharp, if that helps at all. Anyway, the game focused on stealth and strategy. The main character was a kind of spy who wore camouflage pants and a long-sleeved black shirt. I don't know exactly, but I remember it being kind of point and click. You would touch a point on the screen and a circle of a bright color, maybe red, would appear at the chosen point. A line would be drawn from that point to the character, and he would go there. You had to complete the entire level without being seen, and the character was always crouched. The game was in 3D. I don't remember there being any kind of narrative, there were more levels, where you had to eliminate enemies without being seen, there was even a mechanic to drag the bodies to hide them, the character you control would stand up and do a one-hit move, like a strategic punch to the neck or a chokehold (more likely not to have a chokehold), the maps were quite large, but with a certain area limit, I remember some stages in somewhat industrial maps, with some buildings half together, parking lots with those cabins in front, things like that, and I also remember a specific stage that seemed to be in a follow-up, or at least some houses in a kind of forest environment. I remember it was made in a unity engine, and considering that most of the games on Windows phone were for the console, I think it's hard for this game not to be just for the phone, or mobile in general at least. That's all I remember, I hope someone shares the same memory as me.
Recently I've buy an old, but gold Nokia Lumia 920 and trying to get some apps like telegram, but guys... It's freaking hell, I've install all needed programm to my win10 laptop, but I'm stills cannot see my Lumia in wdrt or Chinese unlock tool with blue bird.. do u have a actual and working solution for this? Pleeease, help me, I'm done(
I just recently got an unlocked Lumia 950 that I want to use as a minimal phone (calls, texts, and basic organizer functions like MS To Do). I have a GSMA RedPocket Mobile plan that claims the Lumia 950 works with AT&T, so I got the 950 thinking that it would work fine. That's when I learned it has to be ATT branded to work with VoLTE, however, I found this article on XDA forums ([Guide] Enable AT&T US HD Voice/VoLTE on non-supported W10M phones | XDA Forums) so I tried it out. I followed every step, but it still does not work. Could someone who knows more about Windows Phones and AT&T's VoLTE setup shed some light on this for me?
Hi, I bought a Lumia 435, but I can't do anything about it, and for a long time I thought I wanted to install Windows RT on it, I searched all over the web, but I didn't find anything for this model, Is there a way to install win RT on this model, I don't need the lumia, I just want to try to install it. Exactly 😅, Is there anyone who knows how to do this or has done it before? This Lumia is a RM-1071, thanks! :)
Microsoft Lumina 640 LTE Win 8.1 update 2 to Win10m. Significantly harder than I imagined. Im new to this and wanted to try without a factory reset. Device even downloaded several updates after complete.
No more sluggish than my RCA Cambia with the Intel Atom Processor Z8350 with 2GB RAM. Little to nothing I could do for the Nokia 521 also dug out of storage.
Searching for texting options as Wifi is solid
I just bought a Lumia 635 which is totally compatible with Windows 10 mobile. However, the Windows 10 upgrade assistant is down and whenever I tried following any YouTube tutorials, it failed, so I am now forced to keep on using Windows Phone 8.1 instead of review the newer Windows 10 Mobile. Any remedies on this?
I do believe mine is 1GB of RAM but I am not sure where to check.
So I want to insert a games on Windows phone Lumia 925 on on Windows 8 tablets for some reason but when I connected to the cable it does not show as an app so is this an application deleted or it doesn't exist or need to import
Unfortunately, I have not been successful so far. It was an official advert for some flagship phone uploaded to YouTube. It had a very particular soundtrack with a sharp ringing melody (perhaps played on a marimba or pipe bell), which reflected the innovative nature of the phone.
The video had a male narrator's voice.
If anyone could identify the video, I would be very grateful!
Hello, I want to find the name of the game I used to play on my Lumia phone when I was a child. I remember that game controlled a knight to fight monsters and I remember being able to change weapons. for the knight like a sword to carry and at the same time two axes the knight has the ability to spin around and deal damage and has the ability to jump and fall down to deal damage. At that time, when I was playing, it seemed like there were only 3 levels, but it was too long. let me remember them if you know the name of the game please let me know thanks
I accidently turned off the haptic feedback in my Nokia Lumia 930. How can I turn it back on? [930 runs on Windows 8]
I tried to install windows 10 for 32 bit arm cpu. i used lumia 640xl drivers but, my lumia 640 doesn't boot, i got BSOD without text. empty BSOD with QR code, are there any drivers for 640 non-XL or I have to get supported lumia?
Nokia Lumia 735
I'm trying to get pictures off of my old Nokia Lumia 900 from like 2013. When I plug it into my computer it says I don't have the drivers to open it. Nothing I'm seeing on the windows forums is up to date. The phone doesn't recognize any apps or network for me to upload them somewhere. Does anyone have any solutions?
Hello,
i found my old Lumia 535 and wanted to build a Night Stand out of it. I was looking for some Apps, sadly i didn't found .appx Files for Apples Light Night Stand online since the Windows Phone Store is Offline. Is there someone who can provide me with Links or a functional App. The Phone runs on the latest Windows 10 Mobile Version.
Kind regards
(it didn’t work lmao)
On my previous post I asked you guys to rank the main Lumia 900 Series phones. The results are here and as following:
I've been trying to find ways to run windows phone on my computer for testing. The very few resources I managed to find all linked to the SDKs, but most links are either broken or the images wont run (possibly due to missing software that isnt listed).
I wonder if there are any emulators like the ones for android. Would be great tho, lol.
Thanks to W10M Group and this community, i was really excited to play with my 640XL and perhaps make it a useable phone, but every time i try to unlock the bootloader, try to install interloop, or downgrade from WM 10 to 8.1 i face errors. Most commonly is that WPI does not show any FFU and only the emergency one.
I downloaded WPI 3 Preview 4 and i got the above image, i also downloaded 2.9.2 but that did not even show me any files at all. what am i doing wrong?
