Just to inform you all that EVERYTHING now works perfectly on Windows 10 Mobile Version 1511 Build 10586.107 :-) Yeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaa! :-))))

After upgrading to Windows 10 Mobile Version 1511 Build 10586.107:

1. Lumia Camera is there, and works as supposed (5MP jpeg, 5MP + 34MP jpeg, 5MP jpeg + 34MP (raw) photo resolution choices).
2. HERE Drive+s works with Croatian speech navi :-) (I sideloaded HERE Drive+ app that works on WP10, thank you again Tourniquet!!)
3. Windows Store works (downloaded and installed almost all the apps that were previously installed on Lumia with WP8.1)
4. It seems MSN Weather no longer works (cannot connect to server), but I found a replacement weather app
5. Gmail works (I wasn't able to set up a working account on higher Windows 10 build, it couldn't connect to the server for some reason even with entered manual settings by adding other mail account)
6. User interface seems MUCH better and more intuitive on WP10, with more settings some of which are really useful for my father (e.g. to easily set up internet data volume limit), it's not lagging at all, everything works as smooth as possible
7. Viber installed and works, but I think that's about it when it comes to supported VoIP apps on Windows Mobile (Skype, Messenger and Whatsapp are no longer supported on Windows Mobile (Whatsapp will stop working from 14th January 2020, so 5 more days)).

If you know of any other working VoIP app that could perhaps work on 10586.107 Build please let me know so I'll try it out.

I created a final backup with WPinternals.

My father is super happy, and I'm super happy for being able to help my father by bringing more life into his Lumia phone, THANKS TO YOU GUYS!!! I've learned A LOT during this process, and that's the beauty of it all.

To be honest, now I've fallen in love with that phone, I'm now even thinking of getting one Lumia 1020 for myself LOL :-)))

THANK YOU guys again for your AMAZING help and support!!! You guys are truly unbelievable! :-)

Btw, I also conveyed your greetings to my dad today evening, he is very happy with his phone now :-)))

And believe it or not, I got myself another Lumia 1020 today evening hahaha (I simply had to buy one for myself, it's really an awesome phone :-)).

I have just upgraded this new Lumia to WP10 build 10586.107 (before doing so I unlocked bootloader with WPinternals and created a backup, learned from experience :-))
But I cannot get Lumia Camera app on this build for some reason (it wasn't even present on WP8.1, perhaps the owner had never installed it).

Now, the question for you experts:

1. Would it be possible that I flash this new Lumia 1020 with the firmware from my fathers Lumia? Would that approach work? And then simply restore the backup on my Lumia that I created for his phone? Would that be possible?
2. Or try to rollback using WDRT to WP8.1 to see if I'll get Lumia Camera (Nokia Camera app) there? And from there upgrade again to WP10 to keep Lumia Camera and then prevent Store to download the update for it.

Please suggest what would the the best working approach in your opinion.

Thank you guys again!!!

At first I would try a factory reset to see if it appears, if it’s really not there you should try to reflash it with the FFU you used (WDRT) for your fathers phone, but this time you need to flash it through Windows Phone Internals. The reason is simple: You now might have a different “version”, maybe a carrier labeled one, to get rid of those things, you can just flash a “normal” ffu, to make it similar to your dad’s phone.

What’s weird that the app is not installed there. A good way to check before is the extras -> advance info app to see if the firmware is the same between both phones.

Also you might think 10586.107 is “good” but it’s really not. At the very very least please upgrade to 14003.1176 if you’re planning to use that phone in real life…it has SOO many bugfixes. Yes it’s not unlockable but in “normal use” it should never be a problem.

And since this is not your dad’s phone maybe you even want to try 14393 on it , might be worth a shot 

1. Well not really. If you disable automatic update, they will still show up, but won’t automatically update themselves anymore
   
2. The firmware itself is not higher, its just for a different region, that’s all. As long as you CAN flash that ROM, it should be fine. There is usually a check if that phone is compatible with a certain ROM or not. But overall it should be fine, as long as it’s not AT&T branded.
   
3. Restoring his Backup on your phone will probably cause a lot of problems, so I would avoid doing that.

Sorry for the late response – you just wrote…….a lot

5) -> this actually sounds more like a hardware problem to me, aka the battery might need to be replaced?
That the Nokia Camera app is not there after a hardreset is still a bit weird. If it was a preinstalled app it should be there. Not instantaneously but after a while (it takes some time for them to show up right after a factory reset)


To your questions:

1. Well not really. If you disable automatic update, they will still show up, but won’t automatically update themselves anymore

Yeah I get it, just see if everything works etc and if it does, you can always upgrade later.

Afaik WPInternals should be compatible with Windows 7 as long as you have the drivers. Installed. A lot of problems can be caused by a certain USB-Port or cable so watch out for that.

Ha ha yeah that’s what I thought so in the first place, might be better to replace the battery. Btw the “polarcell” batteries are pretty good, no idea if they have one for the Lumia 1020 though.

Hope it all works out with your battery.

Regarding Bluetooth / Mobile Access Point, no idea honestly. Just try a bit around. If the factory reset did not fix the problem, it might be the OS version, there is a small change this is fixed in a higher 10586.xxx Build and a bigger chance in 14393+.

Please keep us updated

nautilus schrieb:OK, here's an update:

I have successfully replaced the battery, it works perfectly, no more issues with false battery charge readings, so that issue was definitely due to faulty battery.

Secondly, I managed to fix the issue with the Access Point on Lumia. What I did was to set fixed IP address in Wireless Network Connection IPv4 properties on a laptop which I was trying to connect to Lumia Access Point. I've set IP address in 192.168.137.X range (subnet 255.255.255.0 with default gateway 192.168.137.1, and I used Google Public DNS IP address 8.8.8.8 (or 8.8.4.4.) as DNS server), and it works.

I stumbled upon one more issue I'm currently trying to fix:
Mobile Data Usage is being shown incorrectly. Actually the phone does warn correctly by the message when it's getting close to the set limit value or when limit is being reached, but for some reason the total data usage on the screen is stuck (e.g. it constantly shows only 28 MB consumed; limit set to e.g. 1500 MB in my case). I'll see in a few days after the start of next month will the counter reset and start showing the real usage.
Btw, I wonder where does it show data traffic consumed through mobile Access Point? e.g. if I check Data usage details I could see only traffic per apps, not the traffic that went through connected Access Point.
