Windows 10: Windows 10’s Your Phone app gets much-needed improvements

Microsoft’s Your Phone app for Windows 10 allows users to sync their Android device with the PC. The app supports syncing photos, text messages between devices and it has few new options in recent updates.

Today, Microsoft is rolling out another update to Windows 10’s Your Phone app with a much-needed change. This update will allow you to send Multimedia Messaging Service messages (MMS contents) using the app on your PC.

It means you can send images, videos, and even GIFs from your Windows 10 PC without touching your Android smartphone. It’s one of the features that users have been waiting for.

It’s worth noting that the update with MMS compatibility is available for Windows 10 May 2019 Update only and it should be rolled out to everyone in some days.

“With v1.19051.545 we started rolling out MMS support. You now can send and receive messages containing images and GIFs from Your Phone app! (Just in time for those GOT memes ) Note: Requires OS 18362.113+(19H1) Or 18885+ (20H1),” Microsoft announced on Twitter.

Your Phone for Windows 10 recently updated with a new ability that allows it to sync notifications and contents between your phone and your PC over a mobile data connection. Previously, the app only worked when both devices were connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

After the latest updates, you can access your Android phone’s content from anywhere on your Windows 10 PC if the devices are connected to the internet.

“Your Phone now supports sync over mobile data! No need to have your phone connected to WiFi anymore for messaging, photos, and notifications. Mobile app version 3.8.4. Go to settings>sync over mobile data,” explains Microsoft.

To use this feature, make sure Your Phone apps are updated on both desktop and mobile.

I think I'll put a list of people's favourite apps in the OP, starting with my own until I get some suggestions, but you can take a look at the Windows Phone app store at the top apps to see what's popular http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store

why is there a windows 10 app for netflix?

Yes, it's no longer the windows phone OS. It's just Windows 10. And yes, the app is perfect for the phone.

 

Installing Windows 10 on Lumia 920

I have a Lumia 920 mobile phone.
Found a list on the net with compatible phones that support Win 10. Mine is on that list.
Can't upgrade with the usual way.
Found help on this official website of developers for Windows Phones. It's a step by step no brainer thing. Most people are doing it. Except me. I can't get past point 6. http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-10/general/howto-install-windows-10-phones-t3030105

"6.Connect to the same WiFi that your PC is on. Edit the settings for the WiFi connection to turn on the Proxy and set it to use the PC’s IP address and enter 8877 for the port "

7. Open Internet Explorer on your phone and navigate to http://[pc.ip.add.ress]:8877 where [pc.ip.add.ress] is the IP address of the PC running the WPInsidersHacks app
No idea what this means.I guess i need to access the router and modify some settings in there. Some guy on the forum told me " think he means to use the local IP address of the pc. Go to cmd and type ipconfig and look for ipv4 address. Should be somethin like 192/......"

I did connect my phone as always via wi-fi to my router. But i have no ideea how to use that proxy or how to make my phone have the same Ip as computer. I did start WPInsiderHacks app on pc. This is what it looks like




Theres also this official http://forums.windowscentral.com/nokia-lumia-920/341531-windows-10-preview-nokia-lumia-920-a.html
It says this :
1. Download the Windows Insider app.
Press ... > about > make sure Sys free space is 300MB or more.
If there isn't enough space, make full reset with Windows Phone Recovery Tool.

Code:
upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn:7777

Download and install certificate.
3. Edit WiFi connection, enable Proxy

Code:
upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn
7777

4. Open Insider app, click get builds
5. You will get Enroll page, do not Enroll yet!
6. Switch to WIFI settings, turn off proxy.
7. Switch to Windows Insider app and now you can enroll for Windows 10 Technical Preview.
Choose Fast option.
8. Check Settings > Phone update.
If it can't find updates, you may need to reboot your phone and enroll again (without a proxy now).

Same thing with the proxy. Anyways the more detailed steps on the DEV forum are much better i think .Cuz they put out more info on how to do it.

Can anybody help me with step 6 ?
