Windows 10: Windows Lumia 640 downloading challenge.

I have noticed that for Lumia 640 to download and update applications if perhaps a challenge arises of this nature, jus go to the date and time , change the date especially the month backwards and your Microsoft store will work definitely. But I wonder why it has to be done that way in order to download and update. Why.

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 ?

 

Nokia Lumia 640 stuck on downloading speech language pack.


Hi all





Since I'm from New Zealand Cortana is not available for my Lumia 640 which is running Windows 10 Mobile. So I switched my region to Australia which has a very similar language style and ran Cortana. It then asked me to switch the speech language to the one Cortana needed to have which was Australia. So I clicked on download for this, and it is still downloading. I think it was about 24 MB or something which means it shouldn't take more than about 10 minutes.

I tired downloading the Canada language to see if this would jump start it but no luck. I also tried turning the phone off and on, restarting it and trying to add another keyboard. Now I am stuck. I guess I am basically looking for a way to end this process (speech) or to reset it somehow so I can try re-downloading Australia. I previously had downloaded US language and this downloaded fine...
