Windows 10: Windows 10 Your Phone app is getting these new improvements

Windows 10 Your Phone is a Microsoft app that synchronizes your desktop and Android or iOS device, and it requires the Your Phone Companion app on mobile to establish the connection.

Microsoft has been slowly adding new features to Windows 10 Your Phone app, and it’s arguably nearing completion, but Microsoft is now working on UI improvements to further enhance the settings experience, which is a mess currently among various devices.

Currently, with the right combination of mobile device and desktop, the Windows 10 Your Phone app can show recent photos, messages, mirror Android’s screen, and also let you view and interact with Android apps.

In addition, the Your Phone app on Windows 10 allows you to be alerted with the phone’s notifications, battery life, and it even lets you make calls.

Microsoft appears to be working on a new feature called ‘contacts tab’, which would be a helpful addition to this app when you need to access your contacts list.



This new option, which appears right below the calls tab, will also display the contacts from Windows 10’s People app.

If you pay attention to the above screenshots, you’ll also notice that Microsoft’s app is getting less cluttered settings menu.

The cleaner settings experience is rolling out to the testers in the Windows Insider program and it comes with options to split up between different categories like general, my devices, features, personalization, feedback, and about.

As we reported earlier this month, an upcoming update for the Windows app will also allow conversations to be split from the messages tab. In the messages tab, you’ll find a pop-up option that will be able to put a messaging thread into its own window.



Likewise, Microsoft is also working on text recognition support for multimedia messages (MMS). This feature will allow you to easily copy phone numbers, contact information, or addresses from an image sent to you.

New Phone Insider app for Windows 10 preview for Phones?

Unfortunately, at the moment, there's no way to sign into the app, which would suggest that it's not ready for the public to fully check out.

Microsoft already has a Preview for Developers app for Windows Phone 8.1 that allows users to download new builds of the OS before they are made available to wireless carriers. This new app would seem, at first glance, to be something different. However, we stress that Microsoft has yet to officially state they are launching a preview version of Windows 10 for smartphones. So take this speculation (and everyone else's) with a grain of salt.

• Download Phone Insider from the Windows Phone Store

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. HOWTO: Install Windows 10 for Phones on Non-supported devices (and other hacks)

"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 Windows Phones
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 ?
