    Changing Device In My Phone App?


    So my phone broke, I know, sad. So I had gotten a new device, and now want to connect it to my computer.


    Specifically, I went from the Galaxy A70 to the Galaxy A71; in case that's important.


    I already had the My Phone App registered for my A70, but since it's broken, I am unable to disconnect it from my computer. I had tried looking through the settings on the My Phone App, even in the devices tab, it says "Choose Primary Device" but gives me no options to do so.


    I am wondering how I might be able to access a screen that gives me a QR code to register another device from the app, or if there is a way to reset the My Phone App's settings completely.

    :)

    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

    Here's the steps to update EMUI 4.1.1 to 5.0 :
    • Download the EMUI 5.0(desired version) .zip file, and unzip it.
    • Place the .hwt file in the HWThemes folder from your phone.
    • Using the Themes app, apply the new theme.
    • Restart the phone, in order to see all the new changes.
    And you’re done!

    Changing Device In My Phone App?

    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.
