How to reset your Lumia?

Windows Phone Users usually reset their phone using the hardware button / by going to the About section in the settings menu. But both of these require several steps to be followed.

But this new way just asks you to enter a number in the Dialer to reset your phone.

To reset you just NEED TO type this in the Dialer : ##777#

As soon as you enter the number, a pop up will appear asking you to either reset/cancel.

This way of reset won't delete your Downloaded Maps or the Network Settings. So, this is actually a type of Factory Reset which would change the settings back to as they were when the phone was first booted. And again I would say, that it won't delete the Maps Data or affect network settings.
And, yes this trick doesn’t work in the Emergency Call Dialer.

Microsoft Lumia 950, 950 XL in India

Microsoft's new flagship smartphones promise the same productivity as a Windows 10 computer but in a form factor small enough to fit in a pocket.

New Delhi: Microsoft is all set to launch its recently announced Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL Windows 10 smartphones in India in the month of November. According to our source with information of the India launch plans, the company is planning to bring the Lumia 950 smartphone to India at a price of Rs 38,000, while the Lumia 950 XL will be carrying a price tag of Rs 43,000, approximately.

While the phones will be launched in November, there is still no information about the exact launch date. The India launch of the new Lumia Windows 10 phones is expected to be in sync with the global rollout.

Microsoft's new flagship smartphones promise the same productivity as a Windows 10 computer but in a form factor small enough to fit in a pocket. The lines blur with Microsoft's new Lumia 950 phones. With an optional dock, you can attack a regular monitor, keyboard and mouse and work with apps on the phone just like you would on a Windows 10 desktop.

The Lumia 950 includes a 5.2-inch display and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor with hexacore CPUs. The Lumia 950 XL, on the other hand, has a 5.7-inch display and a Snapdragon 810 processor with octa-core CPUs.

This clever productivity trick is thanks to Continuum, the name Microsoft is giving to its digital continuity system that means a file created on a Windows-powered computer is accessible on the Xbox and can be edited on a smartphone and then recreated on a Surface Pro.

If that were the extent of the latest Lumia's tricks, it could be enough for a business user to get excited, but the new flagship handsets are also packed with so many well-considered features that it's possible that Microsoft's handset may also tempt an Android user into a new ecosystem.

The Lumia 950 and 950 XL have 20-megapixel cameras with optical image stabilisation - so no blurs - and a triple flash to ensure that pictures shot at night look real and that no one's got red eye.

The 950 and 950 XL handsets have up to 32GB of storage, 4K video and use liquid cooling technology. Microsoft said storage on the phones could be extended to up to 2 terabytes using a memory card.

Both the top-of-the-line Lumia phones can also be unlocked via facial recognition, and can charge to over 50 per cent of battery power in less than 30 minutes thanks to USB Type C connectors.
 

Even the dual antenna system is designed to automatically understand how the handset is positioned, or how it's being held in order to ensure the best possible connection at any given moment.

The new Lumia 950 phones also come with Windows Hello, an automatic biometric sign-in option introduced earlier this year. The feature allows users to scan their face, iris or fingerprints to verify their identity and give them access to Windows phones, laptops and personal computers.

Windows 10 - Latest News

Not everyone will be able to upgrade to Windows 10 on 29 July, with Microsoft confirming it will roll out the operating system in waves.

The first to get the finished version of the product will be the five million Windows 10 Insiders currently using the operating system in preview.

Following that, Redmond will begin notifying the millions who have reserved Windows 10 upgrades.

“From there, we will start notifying reserved systems in waves, slowly scaling up after July 29th. Each day of the roll-out, we will listen, learn and update the experience for all Windows 10 users.

“If you reserved your copy of Windows 10, we will notify you once our compatibility work confirms you will have a great experience, and Windows 10 has been downloaded on your system.”

It’s not clear how long this scale-up process will take, with Myerson keeping quiet on timescales. Nor was it mentioned how quickly all Insiders will get 10 installed.

OEM partners will receive a build of Windows 10 to image new devices with, and another build will go to retailers to upgrade unsold devices currently running Windows 8.1.

FastCopy's basic features are overshadowed by the cluttered user interface. It is definitely easy-to-use, but required knowledge and know-how. For those used to it though, it isn't such a drawback. Copying files with a different timestamp or size are probably some of the biggest pluses.
