  1. adding a phone in settings is failing


    just completed the 1903 upgrade and want to link iphone with windows to take advantage of texting from Windows. When I go to setting -> phone -> add a phone, I get an error: "Something went wrong try again or select Cancel to set up your device later." How might I resolve this issue?

    :)

    Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview


    Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.

    When my phone fails to upgrade I just keep trying. One upgrade took 3 or 4 tries.

    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 Windows Phone-Apps – Microsoft Store

    You are both now added, welcome! *Toast :toast:
