    can not sign in phone insider app ( lumia 820)

    No one outside of Microsoft has permission to use this app yet.

    Wait for the announcement of Windows 10 TP for Phone and you'll be given instructions about how to access the preview builds.

  3. Windows 10 Wireless network connection issues

    You may need to turn off "Wifi Sense" in Settings-Network and Internet-Wi-Fi-Manage Wi-Fi settings. And registry key change for permissions has helped in windows 10 preview:

    GOTO Hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows NT\current version\networklist

    and right click on each folder inside it such as NEWNETWORKS and NLA and PERMISSIONS, PROFILES and SIGNATURES then choose permissions after clicking right click now when you open the permissions dialoge for each file you`ll have a list of USERS and a list
    of permissions so give each user in the list a full control.

    I accidentally joined it on my primary email account, but left a few days later.

    Also, does this count for people that use a local account but login just for the Feedback app?

    Why shouldn't they, this is a free preview for testing, how else are they going to improve on it or get rid of the bugs if they don't. If you are not comfortable with this, don't join.

    Microsoft's Windows 10 Preview has permission to watch you

    Windows 10 Tech Preview is for testing purposes, so if you don't want this personal info to be collected from Microsoft don't install it. It is impossible to improve an Operating system, without these data from your community, the end users.

    I agree ,it seem from what I have been reading here and on the win8 forum that people are giving up on win8 and going to use win10 preview as there main OS ,makes no sense , seems silly to me to even consider such a thing

    That disclaimer is pretty much in line with the Windows 8 phone privacy statement. I may even been lifted from the phone, especially with the reference of "phone call and SMS data; device configuration and sensor data; and application usage."

    Windows 8.x had the option to disable Bing search integration, at least on the surface, but that's no longer an option in the tech preview.

    The difference between 8.x and 10 is that the former one allowed disabling most of the data collection, which seems to be absent in 10. At least to the level of 8.x.

    Here are some of the settings that control data collection in the image below. Does anyone know what ID will be reset?

  12. That's just an advertising ID, logs the type of things you like so you get ads tailored for you

    If you reset it you get generic ads for a while after re enabling till it works out what you like to see
