Upgrading Nokia Lumia 1020 to Windows 10 & Project Astoria questions

Heya,
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
   
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.
   

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.

Hi Tourniquet,

Thank you for taking the time to read my long post and for answering my questions.

Yes, it's weird I didn't get Lumia Camera app after doing a hard reset. Perhaps I didn't wait long enough as you mentioned, but it wasn't there for sure (not sure how long I waited before deciding on rolling back).

Thanks for the explanation regarding firmware. OK, then I won't try to flash it, I wouldn't gain much with it.

I ordered new replacement battery, advertised as 'original' even though I doubt it will be original battery, more likely a copy.Yes, there are Polarcell replacement batteries for Lumia 1020, but they cost like €20, I don't think it's worth investing that much.

I already found one issue on my current OS build (WM10 1511 Build 10586.107), I cannot establish Mobile Access Point connection. As I connect to the Mobile AP using my laptop, the connection drops, e.g. it cannot get established. I also tried AP via Bluetooth, but I cannot get the connection working. So, I'm looking to perhaps upgrading to the higher build in case I won't be able to fix the issue with the Access Point.

Many thanks again!
