Poor Reception on Nokia Lumia 525 after updating from Windows 8.0 to 8.1

Hi, I am using Vodafone India and I am facing some issues with network connectivity. Infact in areas of low signal availability( relatively low signal availability- 4 points and 2g is available) the phones network bar switches off and then it freezez to 1 point(some times stays as zero bars of coverage). Also there is problems with calls being dropped and network browsing issues. Even if I move to an area with good signal still it shows only 1 point. I have to turn on flight mode and again return to normal mode to get connectivity.I replaced my sim twice but still the problem exists. So I tried using a different sim in my phone and then also problem persists. I also tried my sim on a different set(Lumia 520) and it was showing full network coverage(Where as it shows 0 or 1 bars in my phone).I went to Microsoft service centre and they did a reset and said issue was software related. But again when I moved to low coverage area same issue started again . Also from what I remember, this problem started after I update my mobile from windows 8.0 to 8.1

If the MS service have done a firmware reinstall and you still have the problem then it is not a software fault. Take it back and insist they check the antennas connections.

Nokia Lumia 525 Software Update. Wifi problem.

Hello Nokia users. I recently bought a Nokia Lumia 525. Heard that Software Update would come by September. So i learned how to update my phone by seeing Nokia videos and articles. I got to know that we need a WiFi connection to perform a Software Update.
the problem is i don't have a WiFi connection in my place. Can i download the update using Mobile Network ? I saw this " YOUR PHONE WILL AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOAD UPDATES IF YOUR DATA SETTINGS ALLOW IT" what does that mean ? How can i make my data settings allow it to download my update ? Can i pause and resume my download ?
i heard that we can Update our phone at your nearest Nokia Care center... If yes how much it will cost ?
please don't get angry on my questions,, im sorry that I've asked so many questions... Please answer me.
Thank You.

How to create recovery disk for windows 8.1 after update from windows 8.

My laptop came with windows 8 and i have recovery discs for windows 8.
Now i've updated to windows 8.1, so i want to creat recovery discs for windows 8.1.
So in future when i use recovery discs i dont have to download windows 8.1 again.
Please tell me if there is any way to do this.....

As colakid posted, in Windows 8 the ability to create a recovery CD/DVD has gone. Your options are to:
create a recovery USB; or
create a recovery image.
Recovery USB
Colakid's post talks you through how to make a recovery USB: from control panel, choose Recovery, then Create a Recovery Drive, and follow the prompts.
However, the 'recovery USB' can be a bit misleading. When the wizard starts, there is an option to 'copy the recovery partition from the PC to the recovery drive'. If you do not check this option, you will still need installation media to reset your PC.
Since you have upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, you will probably not be able to check this option, as it will be greyed out (like it is in the picture in Colakid's post).
If you go ahead and create the USB anyway, you will be able to boot to it, but you won't be able to reinstall Windows unless you have the installation media (or possibly a system image, though I haven't tried that).
Recovery image
The recovery image is an image of your computer that Windows will use when you select the 'refresh my pc' option. You can create a recovery image using the recimg.exe tool.
First, open an elevated command prompt (type cmd and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter).
Next, create the recovery image by typing:
recimg /createimage [path]
Where [path] is the folder you want the image in, eg C:\Recovery. You cannot set the file name - it will always be called CustomRefresh.wim.
Let it run its course. When it's done, you can check that it is the current recovery image by typing
recimg /showcurrent
It's important to keep in mind what a recovery image contains. It will have your Windows system files (in their current state), and the desktop apps you have installed (so it makes sense to do this after a fresh install of Windows). It will
not backup any Metro apps or user files, because these are not deleted during a system refresh. If you want a complete backup of everything on your computer the way it is now, you should make take a complete system image (which
can be done from the File History settings in control panel - at the bottom left there will be a 'System Backup Image' option - or you can do it using any other backup software like Ghost or Acronis).
In my case, I created the recover image straight after upgrading to Windows and it was about 6 GB.
Prepare/Create and register an recovery partition, so the option Copy the Recovery Partition becomes available in the recovery drive UI application.
In elevated command run> RECIMG -CREATEIMAGE C:\REFRESHIMAGE<
This will create a new custom.wim in a folder Refreshimage.
Now lets get ready to register the path of the image, so our create recovery drive option(COPY THE RECOVERY PARTITION FROM THE PC TO THE RECOVERY DRIVE) becomes available.
> In the folder you created there will be a> custom.wim<
change it to>INSTALL.wim<
> Create a folder In Cd/directory using Elevated command> mkdir c:\Win8.1-Recovery,>
Win81-Recovery<.
> Copy the INSTALL.WIM. Put in the Win81-recovery folder created.
> Run in elevated commad>REAGENTC /SetOSImage /Path C:\Win81-Recovery\INSTALL.WIM /Index 1<
Do not copy the arrows if using copy and paste, that is my way of pointing out lines of code
Information provided by the link below, thanks Keith. I simplified the process for easy following and added my own tweak from trial and error for the install.

Rescue and Recovery after update from Windows Vista to 7

I've updated my 2 years old Lenovo T60 from the preinstalled Windows Vista to Windows 7. For short: I like it.
I kept the recovery partition but now want to update it, to keep it in sync with the current windows and Rescue and Recovery versions. By the way, due to earlier problems the system in this versions is not functional anymore. I tied to read the manual of Rescue and Recovery, but didn't get it...
Is their an "easy" way (or documentation) to accomplish that?
Thanks and Greetings

The factory partition can't be updated - it is your recovery for what came out of the box with the system. You can create factory recovery CD's/DVD's and store them somewhere just in case, and then you should be able to remove that partition and reclaim the space. At that point, Rescue and Recovery for Win7 becomes your sole recovery option.
There is a lot of new architecture in the Win7 version of R&R so you can't "upgrade" it from Vista - you'll need to install the new version in Win7. It would probably be a good idea to burn your Vista Rescue and Recovery backups to CD/DVD before you upgrade, too.

No tethering after updating from windows vista to windows 7 (home premium)

Hi.
I have an iphone ver 3.1.3 (7E18) firmware 05.12.01 with movistar. The iphone works well with windows vista and also works with windows xp but not with windows 7. I try a lot of times to uninstall all the software and then reinstall again, but nothing works. Can somebody help me?

Hi it works for my Windows 7 but not after I reformat my computer.
I highly suspect that v3.1.3 OS is making the difference as previously I was able to tether.

Can the lumia 525 be updated to next version of windows (probably 8.1) ? When the phone will be launched in india?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As that software update hasn't even been officially announced yet it's impossible to say with any certainty. It is expected it will be compatible with all current WP8 devices but only Microsoft can say that for sure.
You will need to contact Nokia India directly or retailers in India to find out when they expect to be selling it.

N73 dead after updating from nokia online firmware...

can anybody help me i have a n73 it belongs to one of my customer he has a software issue.. the phone was freezing.. i tried to update it with the online firmware update from a nokia software.. after updating the phone wont turn on anymore.. can anyone help me about this issue.. thank you..

ok guys, please be advised that upgrading N73 is not something everyone can do! Please view the software upgrade page completely before upgrading your phones. It is all stated there already.
Here is a quote from the page:
Please note that not all N73 models have new software available. Nokia produces many different variants of each product (for different countries and languages) and not all variants have updated software. It is our priority to update all variants as quickly as possible and we apologize for the delay. We will let you know as soon as new variants do become available. (24-Nov-06)
Nokia N93 updates are temporarily unavailable due to maintenance. You can still download and install the Nokia Software Updater application to your computer for use with other compatible Nokia products. (16-Nov-06)
Firmware upgrading is something serious. Please read everything before upgrading it!Message Edited by mmubashar on 14-Jan-2007

When WP Nokia Lumia Icon 929 will have Windows 8.1 with Cortana?

When WP Nokia Lumia Icon 929 will have Windows 8.1 with Cortana? It is already overdue !!!!

I received the download for my Icon on Friday the 13th (Feb).
The download is done in 2 parts... a prep program, and the OS update (1/2 hour to install).
It is well worth it.
Good Luck

,but that is not helping.kindly provide me the guidance.
when i searched in internet i am able to see many people are struggling with this same issue .

Hi,
You can refer to this blog, and try to roll back to the older version of network adapter driver to check the results. Other suggestions can also be used to troubleshoot your issue.
Windows 8.1 Wifi showing "limited" or "No Internet Access"
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dennis_schnell/archive/2013/08/31/windows-8-1-wifi-showing-quot-limitied-quot-or-quot-no-internet-access-quot.aspx
Meanwhile, please check with the manufacturer of your router to update the firmware.
If the issue persists, please help to collect following information for further research:
1) Enable RAS Tracing on the client.
- Over an Administrative command prompt.
- C:\> netsh ras set tracing * enabled
2) On the client enable the following log as well:
- Over an Administrative command prompt.
- C:\> netsh trace start scenario=netconnection capture=yes tracefile=c:\net.etl
3) Now, turn off Wireless adapter on the client and Turn it back ON for making it to authenticate. Once it fails to connect to the Wireless network, proceed to the next step.
4) Disable RAS Tracing on the client.
- Over an Administrative command prompt.
- C:\> netsh ras set tracing * disabled
5) On the client disable the following log as well:
- Over an Administrative command prompt.
- C:\> netsh trace stop
6) Please provide the following files:
From the Client:
a) ZIP folder of C:\Windows\Tracing
b) C:\Net.etl and C:\Net.cab
Upload these files in SkyDrive and post back the shared link.
Keep post.

ITunes no longer loads after updating to Windows 8.1. I have tried every corrective step I've found on the web (reinstall, copy files, change permissions, etc.) nothing helps. Has anyone heard if Apple is working on fix?

Itunes does not launch after updating to Windows 8.1. I've tried every suggestion I can find on web (reinstall, copy files from other directories, change permissions, etc.). Nothing works. At best I can get the licensing agreement to show and then nothing. Has anyone heard if a fix is in the works?

Hp pavillion 500-185el graphic card problems after update to windows 8.1

hallo
after i done the Windows 8.1 update my graphic card is giving me some problem.
occasionally my desktop become black for 1-2 seconds and the background disappears.
I've update all drivers.
the problems started after the update to Windows 8.1
graphic card: AMD Radeon HD 8570
driver version: 13.150.102.0
thanks for support

Hey @jdudleyjones ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the card reader for your notebook is no longer working after updating to Windows 8.1.
You're probably right that it's a driver issue, however just like you I don't know which card reader you're using either.
Can you please tell me which notebook you have? For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
It would also help if you could tell me the Hardware ID for the card reader. Here's how you find it:
Press Windows Key + X
Click Device Manager
Click View at the top and select Show hidden devices.
You will most likely find the card reader listed under Other devices as an Unknown device.
Right click on it and select Properties.
Select the Details tab.
Change the drop down menu to Hardware Ids.
Note down the first ID in the list (as you'll see they're all pretty much the same regarding the Ven_ and Dev_ numbers which is all I need).
Once you've provided this info I should be able to find the drivers for you.
Look forward to hearing back from you!
Please click the "Kudos, Thumbs Up" at the bottom of this post if you want to say "Thanks" for helping!
Please click "Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.
