Windows 10: Nokia 550 phone running Windows 10 Mobile, failure to communicate

Good afternoon, I am in Madrid, Spain, as a tourist, and have lost communication capability using my Nokia 550 running Windows 10 after it fell from my hand to the floor.

It does open all apps, but when they attempt to go on line, the phone just cycles back to the opening screen.

It will not start a phone call either, neither through the SIM card connection or through WhatsApp calls.

I believe that the impact against the floor may have loosen the antenna connection but I do not have info about the location of the antenna in the carcass.

The phone is in otherwise perfect condition, no external damage. When it fell, it just separated in three parts, the phone itself, the battery and the back cover. I picked them up, put them together and turned the phone on. It just did and everything looked ok, except that I was not receiving updates on my apps, like Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram, Weather, Outlook mail. I tried making a phone call, and it did not work out.

Can anybody help me?

:)

 

Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia Phones...

Whats all this talk of failure and Nokia dieing and Windows Phone sales being bad? Windows Phone is the only market share that's really been climbing ever since Windows Phone 7. Apple's sales are stagnant, selling mostly to Apple/I-phpne users, with Android users being the primary ones to lose market share, even though it's still small, comparitively speaking, to the Windows Phone. It's a solid phone operating system, and the Nokia's are excellent hardware, with us now being on the second full generation of Nokia Lumia Windows phones..

 

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 ?

 

Windows Phone users Clubhouse




Seeing that there's going to be quite a few Windows Phone 8 devices released in the next month or so, I figured we should have a club for it. Post any questions, comments, app suggestions etc here.
