Windows Phone 8.1 Preview users will no longer need to downgrade their OS to get Lumia Cyan

Good news!
Should you still be rocking the Windows Phone 8.1 Developer Preview and are looking to downgrade the operating system to get the full public release and Lumia Cyan, you won't have to carry out this task if you're able to hold on for another week. According to Joe Belfiore on Twitter, Microsoft will be upgrading those on the Developer Preview program to the full Windows Phone 8.1 public release next week.
The issue with the Developer Preview and updating directly to Lumia Cyan stems from those with BitLocker installed (through their employer). Although those affected are a small minority of users, when they installed the official 8.1 update, it caused the phone to lockup. As a precaution, Microsoft halted the Preview program for everyone. Microsoft previously advised consumers to downgrade their OS to then upgrade to the public release of Windows Phone 8.1 as it rolls out.

Read that again carefully and you'll see that while you'll get the WP 8.1 update there is no mention of the Cyan rollout. These are completely separate and until Verizon decides to do so, the Icon will not see a Cyan update.
I'm sticking with the DP until such time someone tells me Verizon is rolling it out AND I need to go back to WP8 to get it. My hope is that by the time Verizon finally gets its act together Microsoft will have fixed the bitlocker issue. That may even happen with the 8.1 update 1 release.

Windows Phone 8.1 Preview users still need to downgrade their OS in order to get Lumia Cyan

Just an FYI for those of you who jumped on the Windows Phone Developer bandwagon and subscribed to the Windows Phone Developer Preview to get an early look at 8.1. This is not such good news.
As is the case with all Microsoft Beta and Pre Release Software (Windows, Office, Windows Phone, etc.), there is a strong chance that the final cut of the software may not be compatible with the Beta or Pre Release versions of the application you are invited to download and sample. Based on the article below and based on the AT&T customer experiences, this, in fact, is the case with the WP Developer Preview of 8.1.
The Cyan 8.1 release provided to the carriers looks to see if you have DP 8.1 running and cancels the install if you do. Microsoft has not said when a compatible version would be available through the Developer Program or with US carriers.
There are directions on how to restore back to WP 8.0 if that is something you have to do. Or, skip the Verizon update, keep DP 8.1 and wait for Microsoft to release an update. Many are skeptical that Microsoft will do this; many are saying that the next Developer Preview will be WP 9.0. Regardless - the only way you will be able to install the Verizon version of Cyan 8.1 will be on a supported WP device running WP 8.0. There are many more details in the article below and the comments at the end of the article are filled with interesting information as well.

primortal: Interesting post on WPCentral this morning about 8.1 GDR 1 for Preview Customers. Looks like those "in the program" may get GDR 1 before Verizon even gets around to releasing 8.1.
I had good results with all of the 8.1 Preview Releases I downloaded. While I did experience morning phone freeze and other slight annoying glitches, I did find that 100% of them were a result of using an APP called Clock Hub. Killed the APP and my ICON ran like a champ.

Windows Phone - Cannot bind custom user controll with listview item source property

It is Windows Phone 8.1 (runtime)
I have some problem of binding custom user controll with list of data. I'll make it simple as I can.
My problem is that somehow if I use DataBind {Binding Something} inside my custom controll it will not work.
I need to transfer binded data (string) to custom controll.
It is strange that if I do not use DataBind, it will work normally. Eg MyCustomControllParameter = "some string" (in my example 'BindingTextValue' property)
Does anyone Know how to bind custom user controll with inside ListView with DataTemplate.
Assume this:
XAML Test-Main page
<Grid Background="Black">        <ListView x:Name="TestList" Background="#FFEAEAEA">                    <ListView.ItemTemplate>                <DataTemplate>                    <Grid Background="#FF727272">                        <local:TextBoxS BindingTextValue="{Binding Tag, FallbackValue='aSource'}" local:TextBoxS>                    </Grid>                </DataTemplate>            </ListView.ItemTemplate>        </ListView>    </Grid>
XAML Test-Main page c#
public sealed partial class MainPage : Page    {        List<TTag> tags = new List<TTag>();        public MainPage()        {            this.InitializeComponent();            this.NavigationCacheMode = NavigationCacheMode.Required;        }        public class TTag        {            public string Tag { get; set; }        }        private void InitializeAppData()        {            TTag tag = new TTag() { Tag = "hello world" };            tags.Add(tag);            tags.Add(tag);            tags.Add(tag);            TestList.ItemsSource = tags;        }             protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)        {            InitializeAppData();        }           }
User Control XAML:

Thanks for helping ;)

If you use a built-in control rather than your custom control, does binding work? You should verify that first.

ListView jiggles horizontally when large item about to scroll in or out in Windows Phone 8.1 Preview

If you have a ListView (in a Windows Phone 8.1 Store app, running on the developer preview 8.10.123979.895) in which you do not explicitly constrain the size of your list view's item template (e.g., because you'd like it to resize automatically when
the screen is rotated, or to adapt well to larger screen sizes), a problem arises if some of the items in your list want to be wider than the screen. They are correctly cropped, but as you scroll down through the list, the whole list jiggles left and right
as the long item is about to scroll into view, or shortly after it has scrolled out of view.
The built-in Calendar app suffers from this problem, by the way, so even if it's possible to avoid this in my own app, the Calendar app needs fixing... If you create a large number of appointments on a single day, where most of the appointments have short
names, but one has a long name, and you then tap the day to expand its list of appointments for that day, you'll see this jiggling from left to right as you scroll through the appointments.
Here's some code that reproduces the problem:
XAML:
<Page
x:Class="Wp81ScrollBug.MainPage"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<Grid>
<ListView
x:Name="myList">
</ListView>
</Grid>
</Page>
Codehind for that:
using System.Linq;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Navigation;
namespace Wp81ScrollBug
public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
private string[] _source =
Enumerable.Range(1, 80).Select(i => "Short " + i)
.Concat(new[] { "This item is much longer than the rest and causes problems as virtualization adds and removes it" })
.Concat(Enumerable.Range(81, 80).Select(i => "Short " + i)).ToArray();
public MainPage()
InitializeComponent();
NavigationCacheMode = NavigationCacheMode.Required;
myList.ItemsSource = _source;
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
You can get rid of the problem by adding this inside the ListView:
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ContentControl Width="480" Content="{Binding}" />
</DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
but this is unsatisfactory, because it no longer handles orientation changes or different screen sizes - when you rotate the screen, the long item doesn't get to use the whole width.

The Jiggle is due to virtualization and an attempt to fit the contents. The only solution I can think of is to set the width based on the orientation.

Can`t exit from the app corner mode in windows phone 10 technical preview at Nokia Lumia 520

After upgrading to windows phone 10, I just face several bugs as expected, including screen unlock bug. I just try app corner feature on my phone. That`s led to a big mistake. I can`t exit from the app corner mode. While pressing the power off
button and swap right, nothing happens. (In lock screen, it doesn`t show that swap right to exist. I think this problem also related to locks screen bug. Even I try to remove the battery. But, still I struck at app corner. Please
help me come out this problem!!!
Thanks in advance

Very very disappointed. Sorry about windows phone. I have argued quit a lot with friends. Trying to convince them that WP are extremely good and nice to work with. Unfortunately they keep telling me about the poor apps of WP. Unfortunately I can now start seeing the problem. Guess what, I wasconsidering of buying my father a WP. Guess what. I will probably stick to android. Badly played about that. Farewell. Disappointed 7.8 WP customer from Athens Greece.

Microsoft Lumia 920 Windows Phone 10 Technical Preview no network (with active sim card)

I updated the Nokia Lumia 920 to windows phone 10 last night and now doesn't recognise the sim card EE (T mobile uk) which is inserted inside it. What can I do to fix this?
I have tried resetting the phone this improved the network WIFI connection. But the phone still didn't recognise the SIM card.
Device Information
Model: Nokia
Mobile Operator: EE (so it recognises the operator?)
Software: Windows® 10 Mobile Technical Preview
OS Version: 10.0.12534.59
Firmware revision number: 3051.50009.1451.1028
Hardware revision: 6.5.0.0
Radio software version: 1.0.202184.3
Chip SOC version: 8960

Greetings Michael,
I performed the two functions you suggested, dism.exe
/online /cleanup-image /restorehealth stated "Error 0x800f0906 The Source files could not be downloaded. Use the
"source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243077
Then, according to sfc /scannow, it stated: "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not supported in offline servicing scenarios."
At this point. I may attempt to install the ISO on a flash drive, and perform a repair on the OS, unless you have some other advice! Thanks for your help!

Windows Phone - Chase Banking App - support will end?

I have a Nokia 920, Win 8.1, I do online banking with Chase bank. App works very well. When I log in, here's an unfortunate message: "We will no longer support the Chase Mobile app for Windows Phone as of 3/222/2015 and this app has been removed
from the Windows Phone Store." Also, I live in Connecticut; also bank at Webster bank, no mobile app for them on WinPhone, other phones are supported, any plans to work with Webster bank? Thanks.

Every item in my MessagesExchanged collection actually has two values(updated my original post) one is the string which is a message and another one is a string which has the datetime value. How do I represent this in my existing model MyMessageModel
so that timestamp text is also set ?
And I actually tried the below code in my Chat.xaml.cs OnNvagitedTo() method but it didn't set the ui values in chat.xaml. What am I doing wrong here ?
// item is a MyMessageModel object created in a previous step which is not null and has some valid data
MyMessageViewModel = new MyMessageViewModel();
if (item.MessagesExchanged==null)
item.MessagesExchanged = new System.Collections.ObjectModel.ObservableCollection<string>();
item.MessagesExchanged.Add("Hello from Me.This is just a sample message from Me.");
myMessageViewModel.CurrentMessageModel = item;
Updated my original post to set the ui values by model name. And also i realized Itemsource needs to set another textbox ui value which is timestamp. How do I modify my model's observable collection to take this value also ? In future I may have images also
exchanged in the messages so how should I modify this MessagesExchanged observable collection ?? CurrentMessageModel is the property of type MyMessageModel
defined in the ViewModel
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Phone Update not working in windows phone 10 technical preview

I recently upgraded my lumia 920 from windows 8.1 to windows 10. Now whenever I hit 'check for updates', it indefinitely stays there as if it's checking but it doesn't. I'm kinda worried that if any new windows 10 updates come, will I ever be able to update.
Is there a way to fix this issue without rolling back to windows 8.1?

I've got to bump up this issue. After several builds and all the updates, issue remains, and HP is silent on the forum as always. I've also posted another feedback post via Windows Feedback tool, and have posted new reply to the old post in the Windows Forum ( http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_tp-hardware/hp-hs2340-hspa-mobile-broadband-module-not-working/afd40168-bca2-4a72-a54f-8d70e15a71f5 ) Again, if there are any other users experiencing this issue with hs2340 and Windows 10 Technical Preview, please post both here and to the thread linked above (answers.microsoft.com website). If anyone had resolved it or found a newer driver than v.7.2.8.1 (for any Windows version) please post a link and/or workaround. Thank you in advance!Luka

My computer became corrupted, and I reinstalled windows, only to find my iphone will no longer sync with the same computer. How do I sync my phone and tones to the same computer without losing everything?

This is my first time using this forum, and I apologize if my post isn't "normal" or if my question is too long. My old acer computer had become corrupted and I had to reinstall my copy of windows. When I tried to sync a new ringtone to my iphone, which was only ever synced to this same computer, I was prompted to delete everything I had so I could install one ringtone. That does not sound ideal, and I refuse to delete everything I've put on my phone and my data to sync to itunes. There has to be another way to show my phone that this is the same computer. So I do not have to go through the hassle of doing everything again. I could not find an answer in the forums, and hope you can help me. This is pretty close to being a deal breaker for me. I'm beyond frustrated with this policy.
I don't believe it matters, but I'm running the latest version of itunes, as of today, and I have an iPhone 4 CDMA iOS 7.4.

Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again!

I changed my password for BT mail yesterday when setting up my windows phone. Now my ipad will not sens emails as it does not recognise the password. I can log in from my windows phone and laptop OK. Why? BT couldn't help!

New Email password not recognised.

One of my accounts is a btinternet address, and I've now got that setup with their new settings (so not the old yahoo settings), so my outgoing server is now listed as mail.btinternet.com and with that the settings are not greyed out.
These are the instructions that I used to set it up : http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/47533/

I recently updated to latest iTunes and now my pc freezes. I have a Tosiba 32bit running Windows Vista. Itunes will no longer connect to the store and I get error 42408 when opening ITunes. Please help!!

When I open iTunes I get the error message 42408.
I have googled and tried various solutions including
- uninstalling, downloading and reinstalling. I have done that about 5 times.
- sending the desktop icon to the rubbish bin and recreating a shortcut.
- de-authorising the audible account. My computer goes thru the de- authorisation process and says that the account is deauthorised then when I go to re-authorise under Advanced all that is showing is to de-authorise the account. Weird.
- contacted a tech guy locally and he has no clue. He's thinking it's probably a conflicting software problem. Obviously.
I have to uninstall the iTunes program just so I can use the internet as the new version slows/freezes everything and makes doing anything on my computer ridiculous.
Everything on my computer runs fine when Itunes is uninstalled. Great. not.
I would appreciate some further guidance as unfortunately iTunes seems to have complete control over my life. LOL! Basically if iTunes fails the rest follows... It's a dominoe effect...

Update:
I contacted Apple Support and they agreed to waive the $40.00 tech support charge this one time which was very nice condsidering their update caused major problems with my computer. I realise I don't have to accept the updates but when they are released world wide to the public I do expect them to work relatively smoothly.
To cut a long story short after following the tech support advice and uninstalling and reinstalling itunes 10.5 for the seventh time and more than a week of going in circles and days spent away from my business trying to fix the problem - I gave up. Because, as a non computer geek, (no offense - I think cg's are amazing) what I need is a functioning computer and phone to run my business that can be both relied on - all the time. That is what I paid for and expected when I bought Apples' very smart iPhone - I did not expect to be plagued by an update to a program that causes chaos for over 7 days. (And to be frank I've had problems with iTunes for the whole time I have been using it. From importing cd's to purchasing problems. gah!)
I may be one tiny person in a very large universe but I believe a certain standard can and should be expected when handing over hard earned cash to a company with a good reputation.
I'm very disappointed with Apple.
Unfortunatley they have lost a customer...
This is how I fixed the problem:
Yesterday I bought a new smartphone - the Samsung Galaxy phone uses the Android Market and the Kies program. The phone is as good as if not better than the iPhone. The Kies program runs very smoothly on my computer. Downloading Apps is a breeze. My new phone is about the same size as the iPhone and a tad lighter.
Problem solved!
As a side note - I will now save about $250.00 per year on my new prepaid phone plan with Boost compared to staying with my previous post-paid plan. I also get unlimited standard national calls in Australia plus unlimited texting too! Not bad for $40.00 a month.
While this solution worked for me it may not suit everybody.

My phone is water damaged. Will no longer connect to phone nor wi-fi. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions to dry out an iPhone dropped in water?

The most cited method is to stick it in a plastic bag of uncooked rice, and leave it for a week or even two. Change the rice every couple of days though. That will draw out the moisture, but it still may be fried anyway (odds are that anything major happened as soon as it got wet, and things started shorting out).
