Try re-enroll in the insider app. Then insider app will reboot your phone to initiate the updating process. 1st time will be to WP8.1 Update 2. Then wait for another update prompt to go W10 TC.

Keep in mind this is a very alpha stage of W10, not suitable for daily use with known issues already published. The only way to go back to WP8.1 is to use the Windows Recovery Tool.

For a list of known issues read this Windows Blog

Please do not install this TC for fun & on your ONLY phone. It's buggy, incomplete & will crash often. If you're fine with that then go ahead

Keep in mind if do this your phone update will be stuck waiting for u to install the TC, u won't get any further update prompts. Uninstalling Insider app won't fix it, only way is hard reset your phone.

Not officially. From rumors it looks like might not be released also. They concentrating on releasing W10.

The point of the technical preview is for you to try it out, then provide feedback on things you like/dislike. There's a shortcut to provide feedback built in. If you not interested in doing so, then not a good idea to install the TP. Remember this is pre alpha code, very buggy & UI wise not consistent or finalized.

Technical Preview is not meant to promote goodness of Windows 10, please please do not get this wrong. At this stage it's solely meant for testing/feedback. Nothing is final expecially UI wise, besides they are not focusing on UI also now.

Yeap correct

As I've mentioned before doing this will put your phone on waiting to update to Windows 10 TP, with no way of cancelling it or getting any other official updates later. Only way out is hard reset.

Anyway WP8.1 GDR2 is confirmed will be installed as staging update before W10 TP.

Dude, you don't get it, if u do that u won't even get the official Windows 10 update down the road. This is something u need to inform normal ppl before u tell them to update this way, else later they complain what are u going to tell them?

Yes WP8.1 GDR2 is probably the best & most polish one but this is not the official way of getting it. I've seen way too many ppl who jump into W10 TP without realizing the consequences, only to complain so much now. So I always warn ppl now what happens if u choose that way.

By the way, I'm enjoying WP8.1 GDR2 on my Lumia 535, can finally connect BT keyboards to type with that

Yes it's plain straight forward for us more knowledgeable ppl but not those no idea still wanna try for fun ppl

This is very important since WP8.1 backup still don't save app data.

For us is fine, the rest, they cry

Get it?

I think that's a known issue. Will be fixed in future build I guess

Yo! From Sandakan ah bro? Like very hard to find Lumia users in Sabah hahaha. Anyway I agree on your points, 1520 almost 2 years old & have all those stuff Android & iPhone only catching up to now. Sadly Microsoft haven't innovated since then so rest of market is now caught up. Hope they really innovate again with the new upcoming phones

From what I've heard, Android app devs don't give a crap bout it. Have to wait & see lah.

Sadly with today news on the restructuring of phone division in Microsoft, haters gonna use this as reason why they shouldn't bother with Windows app development. But honestly I was hoping Microsoft will clamp down on the crazy number of phones they release also in a year, way too many, so many like not much distinct differences from one another in the low to medium end till confused ppl.

Ya, Xaramin that was shown in BUILD was basic stuff, they still working on it. By the time Windows 10 for mobile ships it should be much better. Unfortunately not sure if anyone gonna be interested anymore by then after today news.

I have W10 running on my L535, pretty stable this build but ya, don't use it as daily driver. Yes the trick to update to WP8.1 Update 2 is gone, this is because of ppl being idiots complaining bout not able to get W10 when they enroll in Windows Insider. So Microsoft decided to skip that prerequisite in the latest W10 build.

Still waiting for news. At this rate should be end of March, hopefully lah.

Install English (USA) language, set as default for phone then set your phone region to USA. I've been using Cortana like this since W8.1

I changed my battery in a shop that used original replacement parts. Cost me less than RM200. Definitely don't do this yourself.

Sorry bro, didn't check this forum for a while. I'm in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

Yeap my new battery no prob charge up to 100%


Ah you decided to go Taobao way. Great to hear that everything turned out fine for you bro.

Bro, WP10 Mobile has been officially out for Lumia 1520 for over a month. U have to go download an app from Store called Upgrade Advisor to enable the upgrade.

Hi there,

Never ran into such a problem before with any of the Lumia I've tested. Though I've moved on to Android, I still use my Lumia 1520 as backup phone & it's updated with no issue. So there's no pending update that failed to install when u check for updates? Region doesn't affect the update.

If all else fails you probably have to hard reset your phone with this tool: Windows Device Recovery Tool

Good luck!

My battery was replaced in service centre & it charges fine to 100%

Screen lifting? As part of the screen is raised above the phone? I had this issue & it was caused by battery started to bulge so only fix was change the battery.

From repair videos I've seen it seems easy enough to do DIY but YMMV

Cost me rm180 with labour.

Hey bro, answer is none of the 2 hehe. I did it at a friend's mobile shop.
