Windows 10: Windows 10’s Your Phone app is getting better in the next update

Windows 10’s Your Phone app is an excellent way to bridge the gap between your computer and smartphone. After Windows Phone and Continuum efforts failed, Microsoft settled upon an app that allows you to send, receive and manage your mobile device content right from your desktop.

Microsoft hopes that Your Phone will eventually evolve into something even bigger, such as a productivity suite. The Your Phone app also allows you to view the photos stored in your phone, but the Photos component of Your Phone is missing one key feature – the ability to empty your gallery.

For some reasons, Your Phone app doesn’t allow you to delete photos stored in your Android phone even when the devices are connected via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in an unlocked state with photos app open.

Microsoft hasn’t revealed the requirements that need to be in place for the Your Phone app to delete your mobile phones, but in a new update rolling out to the Insiders, Microsoft has quietly enabled the option that lets you delete the photos.

Note that Microsoft has always allowed users to delete the photos downloaded via the Your Phone using the Windows 10 Photos app, but you cannot delete a photo stored in your Android phone due to API limitations.



After the next update, you can soon select photos and delete them without touching your mobile device. Similarly, you can also right-click each photo to delete it, copy, save or share.

The Photos component of Your Phone app places a grid of pictures taken with your Android handset and it provides a better look at junk images, which should help you free up your mobile storage easily.

In the next update, Your Phone app is also gaining support to run the app at startup, which is a feature that allows Windows 10 to load the app when you enter your login credentials.

Notably, this move comes just a few weeks after Microsoft started working on a new feature in Windows 10 that will trigger startup apps alert when an app is added to the startup programs list.

By allowing Your Phone app to launch automatically at login, you could improve the overall performance and reliability of the app.



When the Your Phone is allowed to run at startup, you’ll be able to access the app and synced content faster without having to wait for the app and its processes to launch in the background.

This approach makes perfect sense given the app is deeply integrated into Windows 10.

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 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 ?
