Nokia Lumia 530 backup problem (Using Windows 8.1)

My phone has suddenly stopped backing up, even though it keeps telling me it hasn't been backed up for some time, and needs to be backed up. When I tell it to back up, it gets to about 99%, and then I get the message "there was a problem backing up your settings. Try again later."  What exactly does "later" mean? I've been trying at various times of the day every day for about 4-5 weeks now. From what I've read on the internet, this does appear to be quite a widespread problem.
Other things I have tried:
Turning the phone off and back on again.
Unchecking the "Apps back up" button
Uchecking the "Settings back up" button
Checking both backup buttons again
Deleting previous back ups using my phone
Logging into One Drive on my laptop and manually deleting previous backups
Changing the screen time out on my phone to 15 minutes (as opposed to 1 minute)
Making sure I have a good phone and wifi signal, and having the phone plugged into the charger
None of this has had any effect!!!!
The strange thing is that when I go onto One Drive, it tells me that it did back up (I've only got the one phone, so there's no chance I'm getting confused between phones.)
Please does anyone have any advice? Also, is there a way of telling my phone to automatically back up at regular intervals, eg once a week, or once a month, so I don't have to keep thinking about it?
Thank you for reading all this!

Hi, TulaTheQuang. Have you tried rebooting your phone by pressing the power and volume down keys simultaneously for 10-15 seconds? Also, check if all system apps on your phone are up to date. Go to Settings> applications> store> check for updates. Check if you will be able to successfully backup your files. 
We'll wait for your response.

    I have a new windows phone Nokia lumia 530. In trying to set it up I accidentally put a typo in my email address.I have done a use a different address as your primary alias, yesterday by making a new outlook account. However, I can't get the security code.

    Hi,
    This is the incorrect forum however I have had this issue myself
    The issue is based on the Microsoft live account verification, if you created a new Microsoft Live account while registering the phone or registering for a new store account you will need to log into the windows live website with the same credentials and
    verify/validate the account.
    Once done, power off the device completely, then power it back on and you should be good to go :)

  • Nokia Lumiya 530 Camera Problem

    Hello Ser ji my Nokia Lumia 530 Camera Zoom Not Working Please Help To Work my camra Zoom please

    farby is correct, SwtBharat. The Lumia 530 does not support camera zooming. However, you can zoom in the photo to enlarge details after you have taken a photo. Place 2 fingers on the screen, and slide your fingers apart. To zoom back out, slide the fingers together. 
    For any feedback and suggestions, feel free to post it here: https://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions. Hope this helps.

  • Nokia Lumia 1520 having problems with Voyager Lege...

    I recently purchased Nokia Lumia 1520 and I am having some problems with Plantronics Voyager Legend. Before 1520 I was using HTC Radar 4G with Plantronics Voyager Legend and I don't have any problems. The problems that I am having are, when I am on a call using the Plantronics Voyager Legend the voice of the person will automatically switched between Plantronics Voyager Legend and 1520 through out the entire conversation back and forth. It does read all my text messages without any problems. Another problem is on my HTC Radar 4G once I turn on the Bluetooth under setting Bluetooth stays on even after I reboots the phone. On 1520 after rebooting the phone Bluetooth is off automatically by the Windows 8. Why does it do that? Are there any workaround or fixes for my issues

    My Voyager Legend firmware is up to date.  This Voyager Legend works with all my others electronics without any problems.  Problem with Nokia Lumia 1520 only.  I think the problem is 1520 Windows 8 OS.  I am waiting on Plantronics to contact me but looks like I am at the bottom of the list.  Does anyone know why after rebooting the 1520, Nokia Windows 8 OS automatically turn the Bluetooth off in setting, under Bluetooth everytime?

  • Nokia lumia 800 video problems.

    Hello, my friend in work has a nokia lumia 800 which a couple of days ago just stopped playing all kinds of videos, be it videos he has taken or on youtube or any thing!
    Also xbox live doesnt open either.
    Neither of us are very 'techy' so any suggestions in simple terms would be very much appreciated!
    Cheers

    I seem to have a similar problem. After the most recent software update I can no longer play back videos that I have taken with the phone! I can play you tube videos ok, but not ones I take with the camera. Any suggestions why? I can't find any settings which I could have changed? The files play fine on the computer.
    Thanks
    What happens upon trying to play the videos? Is there any error message or is it just showing a blank screen?
    You can try to copy the videos to your computer, delete the videos on your phone and then transfer them back to the phone from your computer.
    If this would fail, you may consider resetting the phone by going to Settings and then About. As this will delete all the contents of the phone, ensure to sync your files or to create a backup copy. See Reset  and restore your phone found in the below link for more information as regard to syncing your files, resetting the phone and restoring the files backed up:

  • Nokia Lumia 920 - Unlocked - Cannot use internet

    I've been having trouble with my nokia lumia 920, namely with the internet (or rather, lack of it) ever since it was unlocked.
    I purchased my locked Nokia Lumia from a Phones4U store in the UK and it worked just fine with my UK Orange sim card. However, when I had it unlocked (not by Orange. They would not sell me the unlock code because I had not bought the phone from Orange, so I had to go through another route) I noticed the internet was not working. Everything else was fine, apart from that.
    At the time I was in Greece and using a Vodafone sim card. I received a text from the carrier saying I had to download an app for the internet to work, so I clicked on the link they had sent, which in turn would not work because the app I needed to download apparently did not exist. (I had to do the same thing with my iphone 4S and it worked just fine)! I assumed it was because Vodafone did not have 4G so I ignored it and resulted to using just WiFi whenever it was available.
    When I went France I purchased a sim card from Orange in the hope that it would work but, again, I didn't. By this time I had already gone online and had a look for tips (I had done the Settings>mobile network>highest connection speed>3G, in case 4G was not available) but to no avail.
    I really like this phone and would like to make use of it but without internet there's not much I can do. Would anyone have any tips as to how to resolve this problem? Anything will be really appreciated! Thanks in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    When you click on settings - Wifi stupid i know but check it is switched on. Under that can you see a list of connection points. Also can you connect to internet via GPRS
    If above is yes ( as I am sure it will be ) for Wifi. If no for GPRS have you tried inputting a new apn manually.
    Name - Orange Internet
    APN - everywhere
    Proxy & Port - Please leave blank
    Username - eesecure
    Password - secure
    Server - Please leave blank
    MMSC - http://mms/
    MMS Proxy - 149.254.201.135
    MMS Port - 8080
    MCC - 234
    MNC - 30
    Authentication type - PAP
    APN type - Internet & MMS (If no selection available , leave blank )
    Also in settings - mobile network ensure data (first item is set to on and in bottom item network selection (mine was set to automatic). click on setting and it will search for networks. select the one you want , I presume Orange.
    See if that helps
    Maybe with future updates we will be able to modify internet settings

  • Nokia lumia:shrink storage problem

    Does anybody unable to use their shrink storage application? mine would just close itself wherenever i tried to open it... :/

    This is for your Nokia Lumia 520, correct? Is the internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data) active? Are you able to browse the web with no problems? Suggest uninstalling and then re-installing the app.
    As it seems that you're having issues with the Storage of the phone, suggest using this app: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/lumia-storage-check-beta/c2adc981-83c2-4f19-8161-67149e4...
    If the system apps and the phone's software are all up-to-date, suggest using Storage Check under Settings of the phone as well.

  • Problems using window.close() and setting fields

    Hi,
    I have two problems:
    First one is:
    I created a simple JSP with 'Save' and 'Exit' Buttons. In the Exit button on click event I invoked a function closeWindow, which calls teh window.close(). But on clicking Exit, the window does not close. Can anyone please tell me why.
    Second one is:
    The JSP also needs to get loaded with some values in the Textfields. Theses values are extracted from a text field using a Java class. I am able to see that these values are extracted from the text file and are loaded into Java vars, but when I am trying to set this value into a text field, it is NOT getting set.
    (filePathDetails is the instance of the class that extracts the text values)
    The entire code is posted below:

    Try the following..
    For problem 1:
    Use window.close() instead of window.closeWindow().
    For the second problem
    don't call the function setPaths() at onload. Rather
    call the function after the page is loaded. You can
    try like this.
    If it doesn't work then check whether the browser is
    giving any JavaScript error message.
    <SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
    setPaths() ;
         function setPaths(){
         alert(document.pathDetails.element[0].value);
    document.pathDetails.element[0].value =
    = <%=filePathDetails.localDirPath1 %>;
              alert(document.pathDetails.element[0].value);
              with(document.pathDetails){
    textAncPath1.value =
    e = <%=filePathDetails.localDirPath1 %>;
    textAncPath2.value =

    textLogPath.value = <%=filePathDetails.logFilePath

         function closeWindow(){
              window.closeWindow();
    </SCRIPT>Hi,
    Actually I did try window.close(), but I still am not able to close the current window.
    And as for the problem of setting up the field values, sorry the given solution doesnt seem to work. :-(..

  • Oracle 9i TEMP tablespace backup problem using RMAN!

    Oracle8/8i whole backup is ok for our backup software(using RMAN without RC database), but for Oracle 9i, I get following error messages when backing up temp tablespace.
    1. RMAN-20202: tablespace not found in the recovery catalog
    2. RMAN-06019: could not translate tablespace name "TEMP"
    I check some views of Oracle9i, and know some changes happen for temp tablespace in 9i, but how to deal with this problem. Any idea, please!

    In 9i RMAN does not restore temporary datafiles. Instead, you should create them after your restore. I believe that Oracle is going to make a change to this in the next release of 9i and have RMAN create the temporary files. You can view the temporary datafiles @ v$tempfile.
    I believe RMAN doesn't restore temporary files because they are locally managed and not in the control files. RMAN reads the controlfile of the target database to obtain info about backups, datafiles, etc.
    Hope this helps.

    ps.
    thanks matt

    I, for one, am incredibly dissapointed in the portable file aspect of this player. i work in a PC store and we sell the Zen Touch , i also received one for christmas. At first i was very happy that i could also use it to carry my files to and from school but all my hopes were extinguished when i realized that the computers i would transfering to and from had to have the creative software installed. Obviously, Creative's target consumers are of the Student generation, so they must have known that we, as students , use computer labs in school. So why not add the firmware to override the creative software when transfering data files? What's written on the box and the sales pitch creative uses is extreamly misguided and alot of the buyers have come back to the store with complaints. They arn't happy, i'm not happy, creative should fix this porblem, and yes it is a problem and not "part of the design".
