To tell you the truth, have tried. just wish i could use a data network to do this rebooting update
I don't understand. Mine downloaded over mobile network. When I got the notification for the update, it asked if I wanted to do it over wifi or mobile network at the moment and I chose the latter.

Maybe you should reboot your phone and try again.

I heard a hard reset may be the only way out for this particular error.
It is said to be a system partition error.

I certainly don't have time nor internet for their nonsense back up and restore.
I have gigs of apps on my phone, so I don't think I can bother with such wahala.

If I may ask what is the brand and model of the phone

the twitter app is bad for me coz it doesn't support the new quote links. That's really bad. Unless you pay for the tweetium app
you very much right bro...but with time, they will release new update for it. You know windows are always last in terms of update.

thanks for this. Patiently waiting for the 5 inch Lumia 640, after Infinix hot note pro,I'm not a fan of big phones again

It seems that most windows phone users here are not on "Nearby Live". It is an application for community of windows phone users globally. There you can get to interact with users thru technical fora dealing with the windows phone OS amongst other things. Other OS users like Android, BB, iOS also get to interact by logging in thru the website. Get the app:

Thanks for that Xodo tip!
I ignored it earlier cos it didn't have too many reviews cheesy

And, I don't use video editors but thanks for the tip still.

Didn't know a flagship Android could give ram problems though.

Before I forget, can you lock network to 3G only on your Lumia?
Older Lumias suffer alot from this issue, so I wonder if it has truly been rectified.

3G locking is currently not available for 8.1. It was removed while transiting from WP8.0 to WP8.1. Hoping it'll be restored with WP10 official release this October.

After endless search for an app that has chat and chatroom options, but to no avail, I had to settle for Togo. Oops 2go. Werin man go do nah.

Whatsapp, no ' singles' chatroom can be boring attimes. Nimbuzz on the other hand is a wreck. That app needs plenty upgrading honestly. I uninstalled it sharp sharp.

I'm giving you no guarantees, but Nearby Live might give you what you want:

Okay. I guess that's for those device that have stock 8.1 that came with 'em. Other devices before this that got updated to WP8.1 have different 8.1 version number.

You can save pages in the latest updated version of opera mini. Head to the store to update it. To save pages, simply scroll back to the topmost page you have opened until the address bar shows. The click on the "+" plus sign to highlight drop down options for "save page, add to bookmarks, pin to start" and the select your option.

Negligible. Just like running any other low resource apps on that same device. For example apps like opera mini, whatsapp etc.

Please I want to know how you guys pay for apps on your windows phone Thanks

The only time I bought any app was when i got my first windows phone over two yrs ago. The details are fuzzy now. The only thing i remembered doing was that i had to change my region to US in order to be able to type in my debit (GTB) card and other details like address (a US address was required and i was able to get one from my friend), zip code and other things. All these will be done on your wallet app in the phone before you purchase from the store. Alternatively, if you've not visited your wallet before, clicking "buy" on the paid app redirects you back to your wallet and will be required to enter your live password. Once logged in, it asks you if you will like to add another payment option to an existing one or create a new one.

Once your payment is made, you will instantly be able to download the app. However notification of deduction from your account may not take place until after 24hrs.

However what I've noticed in recent times with those that have "Nigeria" set as their region is the denomination of the price of paid apps in "Naira" in the store. So i assume that they hassles of finding a US address to use the store might have been addressed. I believe other people with more and recent experiences here with store purchases will be willing to help.

You mean the second SIM network will go off completely or it changes to Edge like Android?

Update your opera.
It can now save pages and restore tabs.

Unfortunately, my phone has an error, so I can't download with it.
The download never starts. And I prefer the rendering to UC Browser's.
Sad.

I'm too tired to elaborate.

Go to Notifications and Actions and tick the "SHOW NOTIFICATIONS IN ACTION CENTER WHEN SCREEN IS LOCKED" option.

Scroll to WhatsApp and ensure BANNER, SOUNDS and VIBRATION is turned off.

Note that you won't receive notifications if your battery saver is on!
Also make sure you have the latest update on WhatsApp.

Did you drop the phone?
If you did, I guess the something had loosened up internally. Only a repairer can fix this, if this is the case!

After hard resetting your phone from settings (you'll lose all your apps) and it doesn't work, you may have to take it to Nokia store if you still have a valid warranty or a repairer.

Pls I noticed this after updating my WhatsApp dis morning. Anytime I make a WhatsApp call and then end the call, it doesn't respond and will still be reconnecting even after I exit the WhatsApp app. I will only be able to disconnect the call until i switch off the phone! Anyone else noticed this?

I have used GTB and Keystone Bank cards without hassles in the past one year, with Nigerian addresses of course.
