A lot of apps which I use is out of the store, but I have xap/appx files and using Windows Phone Power Tools (for xap) and Windows Device Portal (for appx) to deploy it on my Lumia 950 XL and it works fine.

It's really amazing how well it works. Not a lot of lag, apps boot up and all run well for the most part. For not really being supported and a device that is six years old, it shows just how well something could be made and designed. Thanks again for watching!
StevealiciousTech Now I’ve seen the web apps I’m going to dig out my 950. I think the last update was January this year. They really put a lot of work into Windows Phone, it’s a shame they gave up. I like everything about the OS. Thanks for showing me there’s still life in it
Please! join this group facebook.com/groups/411320333571481 and add your friends to share your emotion, experience, suggestion, update, and many more about Windows Phone.
I know...definitely a missed opportunity there I think! There really hasn't been any skin like it as well which I'm surprised about. Thanks for watching!
They've become really conservative in terms of UI design. Probably at one point they'll dump live tiles on desktop too. Plus they didn't want to alienate Android users with live tiles they just wanted to make a familiar version of Pixel launcher and that's pretty much it. That's the reason i don't use Microsoft launcher but another launcher for live tiles on my Android device and it's great. PS. Informative video brought back some Windows Phone memories! kudos👍
@@PlasticinaVerde You have to activate the notification bells! No notifications nothing! In RUclips, Twitter, websites, LinkedIn etc. In other apps like photo gallery, Replaio or Spotify you don't have to.
Likebook is a good Facebook app, it has full screen mode if your buttons are digital and would put them away when load the app. It also has dark mode, it's such a great app, the only issue I have with the app is there is no app notification.
@@StevealiciousTech winsta still works too, it's a great instagram too, so is liketube, it's pwa for youtube website app and you can do the same options at likebook, but my only issue it's not the apps fault its youtube because you can't do a mini player or background audio, turn off the phone but it's a good if you use my tube as youtube music
Steve I love Windows phone so much I am buying my third one from eBay and it was hard choice between 930 and 950 cause I lightened smoked and high point so I went with ppl and went with 950 fingers crossed.😆
I've been a Windows Phone user for many years, even when everyone didn't understand why to use one. There was a lot of cool stuff. But I felt very used when Microsoft dropped everything after years giving feedback as a user. To the point of making her services available for android and ios and leaving her system and her trust users. Microsoft being Microsoft.
Yeah, I am hoping that maybe something like the Surface Duo or another Surface phone brings back some of the Windows phone stuff but you never know! Thanks!
Cant wait to get mine getting the 950xl. Just wanted to try out a windows phone and use the great camera. I am a photographer and want to test stuff out and write stuff. Any photo apps that still work?
Believe it or not, I am still using my Nokia Lumia 925 Windows Phone 8.1 Phone from 2013 in March of 2021! The hardware still works perfectly: there is nothing wrong with the hardware! But, there is less and less support for the Windows 8.1 software. Microsoft ended app store support some time ago, and I can't use Facebook at all. I was lucky enough to be able to download Explorer for Facebook awhile back, and it works, albeit a little awkwardly and slowly. The People (Contacts) tile still works, but integration with Facebook is gone. The Me tab has long been non-functional, so much so, that I went ahead and uninstalled it. I still use the camera app. I have always loved the low light performance of the Lumia 925 camera, but now some of the newer Phone cameras with night mode outperform it. I still use my phone as a phone, of course, and also the SMS texting. I still use Hotmail and Gmail, but the Yahoo Mail app has quit working. I got around that by pinning the Yahoo website to the Start screen. I like to solve crossword puzzles, so I have pinned the Crossword Nexus to Start. I'm not into video games, so I have the X-Box app, but never use it. I did create an avatar, and he's still around. I like the way everything from Microsoft is integrated with your Microsoft account. I know Apple aficionados brag about how everything Apple just works seamlessly, but with my Microsoft account, I have a similar experience. I even have Microsoft apps on my other phone, which is an Android phone! (It's a Samsung Galaxy S10, in case you were wondering.) My One Drive app works perfectly, and all my pictures are automatically uploaded to One Drive. I don't have to remember to upload them. I still use the Bing search app more than Google or any other search engine. It works better than any of them, in my opinion. I love the way you search for images on a certain topic and it will pull up 30 or so images that you can fill through like a photo album without having to download them or massage them in any way or use any other apps. You can even save pictures to your storage and crop, rotate, or auto-fix them to your heart's content, all within the Bing app. I have not seen any other app that can do that! I then can use the Files app to create albums, move files, and more. Then there is the Slide Show app I downloaded before Microsoft closed the Store. I can use it to make a sideshow from any one or a combination of albums. It can even be randomized. My phone can then be used like a portable digital picture frame. And, guess what? Even in 2021, I still use the Here GPS (and Maps) app for navigation. It still works just fine! Cortana still works, but I never use it. The Calendar app on Windows is still my preferred calendar, the (downloaded) Battery app is better than anything I've seen on Android, The Photos app is better than Gallery, and I use the Countdown (downloaded) app all the time. The AccuWeather app is far superior to the weather app on Android, and the live tile still updates in real time, without my having to touch it. The official You Tube app quit working some time ago, but I managed to download a third party app that still works. I have Twitter, Linked In, and Instagram, but I almost never use them. I use Pinterest once in awhile. And I remember how people used to complain about no Pandora on Windows Phone. Well, I have Pandora, and it works. I even have Cross Examimed (Bible study) app, downloaded in either 2018 or 2019, that still works. I love the way I can simplu pin any app or website to Start, and it will be there, handy, when I need it. Even today, this is not possible, to my knowledge, on Android! (My Android automatically puts the most recently used apps on the Start screen, but when you use the next app, the first one disappears, and the next time you need it, you have to hunt for it in the app drawer. It's very inconvenient!) And, last but not least, I love the live tiles on my Windows phone that actually convey useful information, and update in real time. There is no close second!
Out of all the Windows Mobile phones I've had (and I've had 7), the Lumia Icon 929 was my favorite. Wish I still had it. I still have 5 of the 7 though. It's still fun to go back and see what still works. Spotify will still play your playlists but won't show album covers and can't search. I still I use my 640 to connect to a Bluetooth speaker and play my lists. I also have quite a few games on it that play really well.
@@StevealiciousTech I have 24 different games on the 640, all of which work really well. Contre Jour, ByeByeBrain, Brain Cube Reloaded, Lost Echo, Glyder, Halo Spartan Assault, Hitman, Plants vs Zombies, Fruit Ninja, Rabbids Big Bang, Infinite Flight, Machinarium, ilomilo, Radiant Defense, Minesweeper, Kinectimals, Dr Pickaxe (pinball), Angry Birds, Microsoft Solitaire, Tentacles, Minecraft, Premium Pool, Asphalt 8.
@@StevealiciousTech I went back and tried all 24 games again and all but 3 of them still work. Ironically, the 3 titles are all Microsoft games. Tentacles, Minecraft, and Halo Spartan Assault do not work on my Lumia 640 now.
Still using a lumia 950 XL until now, but am considering switching because one of the apps that I frequently use, Viber, has stopped working(could not log in) as of March 2021. Anyone else having the same issue?
It is a shame they stopped producing lumia phones with that nice design and cameras. I would buy a windows smartphone today if a new one comes out that can compete with the rest of the android/ios phones.
Absolutely! So would I. I was hoping the Duo would be a little different but maybe a surface phone in the future would bring a little flair back. Doubt it but always the hope! Thanks!
Some things work fine...a lot of the apps that are left are mobile apps. The best app is actually MyTube for RUclips...seems like an app from 2021...really good stuff. Thanks!
I was thinking to buy windows phone as my second phone is it good to watch RUclips and visiting other sites? and what is the best windows phone I could buy
all what u say is too complicated for me. what about windows store on windows ten phone. i heard that one note is not being supported.. is windows store still gonna work or will they completely shut it down. if they shut it down . and i already have apps on my phone then I'm ok right??
I have one of these NOKIA 930 phones & recently I updated it to WIN10 : however I can no longer sign in to the store & nor can I connect it to even make an account : Microsoft or Nokia : I’ve also tried the region date & time settings fixes that exist on RUclips : it’s very frustrating because I like the look & feel of this phone so any help is appreciated: thanks for this video :::
what brought me here was windows sent me message on my phone that one note will not be supported with updates. so what that tells me is windows is slowly killing off the store .
such a shame windows mobile failed, i just got myself HP Elite x3 just because i always wanted one and now can afford it. whatsapp is the only thing stopping me from using it daily, but if i could get my friends to try Viber thats a great replacement.
Hi i have an important question for you. Yesterday i booted up my oldish Microsoft Lumia 640 with windows 10 on it. After it updated it's self to new software, Groove music is now defunked, which is a shame, so unusable. I went into Microsoft Store to look for a Music Player and a app for searching for music to download for offline and just couldn't find any. Would you have any suggestions what i could store my music from SD card on for playing and a search app. Windows 8 was so supior to 10 for that kind of thing.
I remember in college, I had a windows phone 7 phone and my school only had a bus tracking app for android and ios. Luckily, the web app worked perfectly.
Oh wow, yeah that was quite the issue. Smaller, custom apps like for schools would certainly not make it to win mobile especially when big apps sometimes weren’t even there. They were awesome devices though! Glad the web app worked at least! Thanks again for watching!
@@StevealiciousTech you have great content. All the big apps that were missing basically just meant you had to pin the link to the mobile site to your main page. Kinda ironic that was essentially what chromeOS used to do before they integrated the Android app store. Windows phone was sorta ahead of its time.
hello i have updated my nokia 635 to windows 10 and now i can see a microsoft store and all games a lot , and when i want to install install button stops and there is a message this app is not compatible with your device ???? where to find apps to download where is a site for a xaps ..any help , idea or h e l p ....plz .....
Unfortunately, the best way to go are the web apps I talk about in the video. Those apps still listed in the store are for other Microsoft devices that still support them but not mobile! Thanks!
Sir can u help me give some any information about where i can buy Nokia Lumia at least 1520,950 XL...i miss so much windows phone especially windows phone 10.which store are available to sale Lumia phone nowdays, trusted and no fake or clone lumia phone.thank you so much....
I personally don’t likewindows 10 mobile as much because it’s so slow and was so many loading times. So I’m sticking with Windows phone 8.1 What du you think?
I think you'll have a problem using most if not all of the software...if you still have stuff on your phone that works, great...but otherwise, without the store...it will be tough. I love 8.1 a lot but in order to get by with Windows phone in 2021 I think W10 is the minimum. Sorry!
Please! join this group facebook.com/groups/411320333571481 and add your friends to share your emotion, experience, suggestion, update, and many more about Windows Phone.
You are still relatively safe with anything that can run Windows Mobile 10...you can at least download the apps and restore stuff normally...you also have a better chance of running a lot of the web based apps that I mentioned. Thanks!
Does not come with Windows 10 but if you go to my Lumia 830 video, in the description, I have a link that can help you install it at this point. Thanks!
Windows phone and Zune were great devices, subsequently tanked by poor marketing and advertising. I would buy a windows phone today if they could support it.
@@StevealiciousTech see I'm on my xbox 1 enough as well my pc which is a W10 of course just ignore the VMWARE Ubuntu running as well. But yea I see the device playing big part in party chat even just simple acting access to a video off the box I just wanna watch in chair mellowed, its the small odd things that makes us odder we just gotta go with the flow and enjoy!
Facebook messenger? Facebook stuff is going to be web only for sure. But text messaging works just fine! Haha, they are fun to carry around! What color did you get? Thanks for watching!
@@StevealiciousTech ok good to know, I got it on eBay and it is black(my favorite color cus gotta love stealth look) and I'm excited :), currently bored of my LG v40 so thought "why not?"
Thanks for your vídeo! It doesn't work in muy case. I have recently bought a Lumia 735 (W8.1). I have tried but nothing. It dosn't load any app. I'm only interested in Telegram... Could you help me please? Thanks in advance.
At this point it would absolutely be necessary to upgrade to W10 in order to be able to download anything for sure. There is a link in my Nokia Lumia 830 video telling people how to do it! You might have to make some changes though to the registry...google is what helped me with it because you have to go line by line to be able to update the device. Thanks!
Can I still buy a Microsoft Lumia in Nov 2020?(some stock is still available at amazon.) I previously had Lumia which I later gave to my dad and bought an Android phone... But I can still say Windows phones were far better than Android!
I mean as long as you understand the limitations and are comfortable doing things through web apps, they still run quite well. Good battery life and not a lot of distractions! Thanks for watching!
I am writing this on my Lumia 735 windows 8.1 good video I use mainly at at home wifi I use the browser for RUclips camera app flashlight weather Xbox music outlook fm radio candy crush and that's about all I do with it I have a barcode scanner PDF maker decibel reader mic recorder
@@StevealiciousTech also the front camera is not working but I love the phone it's a 5.7 inch 720p display with clear black technology qi charging battery life is surprising good I think it's a 2200 mha great one handed use I can't get group message to work but regular message works and that's the biggest downfall of it

@@unboxeverythingwithkuku The battery was in there from new and I have just replaced because of age. The battery is fine in a Windows phone and easily lasts the day. The OS is still the best looking and most fluid even after all these years.

home run my man. i have 15 640xl phones I've been updating to windows ten and now trying to get store stuff on them. i plan to go overseas and give them to poor asian people . but Microsoft keeps killing off the windows ten store slowly. u need to show me how to keep this great phone vital.
I will have an updated video soon on what you can still do. Not a whole lot has changed. There are ways to update with side load as well. The link I have in the description should help with that!
@@StevealiciousTech ok its 2021 , i use 640xl and i have 15 of them. i only need basic stuff. what about the windows store for windows ten??????????????????? still going but for how long?????????
What are your favorite apps that you are still using in 2020 on Windows Phone?
I use a Lumia 930 every now and then, my favourite apps are: Mytube Beta, Microsoft News, ALL the old Xbox Mobile Games!
Great video Steve!
A lot of apps which I use is out of the store, but I have xap/appx files and using Windows Phone Power Tools (for xap) and Windows Device Portal (for appx) to deploy it on my Lumia 950 XL and it works fine.
There are:
Reboot app, TouchVPN, Paint3D, Shazam, Vivid browser, Cycle Master, Opera_Mini (v9.1.0.232), Sports Tracker, EmiPSX, Pocket Tanks, Mirrors Edge, PES 2012, Splinter Cell Conviction.

all what u say is too complicated for me. what about windows store on windows ten phone. i heard that one note is not being supported.. is windows store still gonna work or will they completely shut it down. if they shut it down . and i already have apps on my phone then I'm ok right??
windows phone needs a comeback
Thanks for the video man, help me alot!
Thanks for watching!
I have one of these NOKIA 930 phones & recently I updated it to WIN10 : however I can no longer sign in to the store & nor can I connect it to even make an account : Microsoft or Nokia : I’ve also tried the region date & time settings fixes that exist on RUclips : it’s very frustrating because I like the look & feel of this phone so any help is appreciated: thanks for this video :::
Yes, one of the reasons I don't force update devices. I don't want to lose features! I'm sorry this happened to you!
what brought me here was windows sent me message on my phone that one note will not be supported with updates. so what that tells me is windows is slowly killing off the store .
such a shame windows mobile failed, i just got myself HP Elite x3 just because i always wanted one and now can afford it. whatsapp is the only thing stopping me from using it daily, but if i could get my friends to try Viber thats a great replacement.
Yeah, that's the thing! I had the same problem! I tried to move people over to Viber...I got some to GroupMe but it never seemed to take!
Viber is so underrated , and do more than WhatsApp
Hi i have an important question for you. Yesterday i booted up my oldish Microsoft Lumia 640 with windows 10 on it. After it updated it's self to new software, Groove music is now defunked, which is a shame, so unusable. I went into Microsoft Store to look for a Music Player and a app for searching for music to download for offline and just couldn't find any. Would you have any suggestions what i could store my music from SD card on for playing and a search app. Windows 8 was so supior to 10 for that kind of thing.
Have you tried Spotify at all? It won't work for new music but it should play your existing library just fine. Let me know!
U should uninstall groove and install it again i just did it
anyway to install viber on Lumia 730 with windows phone 8.1 version?
Not that I know of at this point, no...sorry!
Does appscope work on Windows 8 or only 10?
Can't you get the Unigram client for Telegram? I have had no problems using it.
I think I tried but I am going to try again. I think that one is fine for telegram for sure. Thanks for watching!
I remember in college, I had a windows phone 7 phone and my school only had a bus tracking app for android and ios. Luckily, the web app worked perfectly.
Oh wow, yeah that was quite the issue. Smaller, custom apps like for schools would certainly not make it to win mobile especially when big apps sometimes weren’t even there. They were awesome devices though! Glad the web app worked at least! Thanks again for watching!
@@StevealiciousTech you have great content. All the big apps that were missing basically just meant you had to pin the link to the mobile site to your main page. Kinda ironic that was essentially what chromeOS used to do before they integrated the Android app store. Windows phone was sorta ahead of its time.
hello i have updated my nokia 635 to windows 10 and now i can see a microsoft store and all games a lot , and when i want to install install button stops and there is a message this app is not compatible with your device ???? where to find apps to download where is a site for a xaps ..any help , idea or h e l p ....plz .....
Unfortunately, the best way to go are the web apps I talk about in the video. Those apps still listed in the store are for other Microsoft devices that still support them but not mobile! Thanks!
Hello, I'm from Poland and could someone say something about a smartphone like Alcatel Idol 4 pro? How is it going at the turn of 2020/2021?
im worried that windows ten store might close soon?
What about Facebook Messenger? Is it possible to open it up in the browser and receive/send messages? BTW great video!
I may try that but the other apps can do messaging! Thanks!
Hey! bro! i used too Windows 930 till now! and yes there some applications still kicking. (^^,)
Yep, definitely! Nice to see some things we can still use...the phone still run well! Thanks!
I am thinking wto get one for my father, can I make a new account on windows store so i can at least update some of the apps?
Thanx
Yeah, if you update to Windows 10 with a side load, you should be able to update the ones that still work just fine! Thanks!
Sir can u help me give some any information about where i can buy Nokia Lumia at least 1520,950 XL...i miss so much windows phone especially windows phone 10.which store are available to sale Lumia phone nowdays, trusted and no fake or clone lumia phone.thank you so much....
No stores sell them at all. Just eBay at this point, unfortunately! Thanks!
Skype works? Auto answer video call functionality?
i am using windows phojne 8.1 lumia 930. however i cannot update it using otcupdater to win10.. is there any way?
Certainly! Please see my video on the Nokia 830...in the description is a link on how to upgrade currently!
can you use the MS Teams app in that device this 2020?
That I would need to check on for sure!
Maybe through Web browser
thanks alot of your info is very pertinent every one moved on but you remain. THANKS
Lumia 640 was my best mobile.
It took better photos then iPhone 6 Plus.
Videos were good and love UI
I can use telegram en wp but it doesnt work well just for chatting i want Windows Mobile will come back
We need them to make this phone again,but with more storage and memory,and enable all social media.They need to remake them.We need them back.
I personally don’t likewindows 10 mobile as much because it’s so slow and was so many loading times.
So I’m sticking with Windows phone 8.1
What du you think?
I think you'll have a problem using most if not all of the software...if you still have stuff on your phone that works, great...but otherwise, without the store...it will be tough. I love 8.1 a lot but in order to get by with Windows phone in 2021 I think W10 is the minimum. Sorry!
Hey bro my 930 lumia stuck in boot from last few month can you help me with something ? I am from india
You can't reset it at all? Depends what the issue is!
Please! join this group facebook.com/groups/411320333571481 and add your friends
to share your emotion, experience, suggestion, update, and many more about Windows Phone.
Does Lumia 930 work on U.S. carriers? Thinking of getting Windows phone if I can.
Yep! Works fine on ATT. I have it unlocked. Thanks for watching!
which nokie lumie models can still be used ..
You are still relatively safe with anything that can run Windows Mobile 10...you can at least download the apps and restore stuff normally...you also have a better chance of running a lot of the web based apps that I mentioned. Thanks!
@@StevealiciousTech i plan to take lumia 920, on win 8.1 it is. can wn 10 be inserted.
No, some people say yes but my 920 didn't upgrade. A 929 will upgrade I believe.

@@StevealiciousTech I took the lumia in 1520 ..
I ordered Lumia 930 , waiting for delivery, Is that device comes with windows 10? If not , how can I update to windows 10 ?
Does not come with Windows 10 but if you go to my Lumia 830 video, in the description, I have a link that can help you install it at this point. Thanks!
Windows phone and Zune were great devices, subsequently tanked by poor marketing and advertising. I would buy a windows phone today if they could support it.
Me too! Such great devices...original, too! You stood out with them! Thanks!
Yes
Microsoft Edge on WinPhone 8.1? How?
just bought a Lumia 1520 from amazon at decent price but I'm not looking for crazy but lot has been said about a phone from 2014 that still just goes.
Exactly. 1520 is absolutely next on my list of those devices to get. Let me know the condition from Amazon. I'm curious! Thanks!
@@StevealiciousTech see I'm on my xbox 1 enough as well my pc which is a W10 of course just ignore the VMWARE Ubuntu running as well. But yea I see the device playing big part in party chat even just simple acting access to a video off the box I just wanna watch in chair mellowed, its the small odd things that makes us odder we just gotta go with the flow and enjoy!
I want to buy a Windows phone. Pls how can I get one?
eBay is probably your best bet at this point! Thanks for watching!
@@StevealiciousTech Thank you very much
Do a video about Htc future with u20/desire 20 and modularity/repairibility in mobile devices like the fairphone 3plus and moto z series
I will take a look at them for sure! Thanks for watching!
@@StevealiciousTech thanks
I just bought a 925 earlier today for shits and giggles, does messenger still work or is it also web app
Facebook messenger? Facebook stuff is going to be web only for sure. But text messaging works just fine! Haha, they are fun to carry around! What color did you get? Thanks for watching!
@@StevealiciousTech ok good to know, I got it on eBay and it is black(my favorite color cus gotta love stealth look) and I'm excited :), currently bored of my LG v40 so thought "why not?"
Man you can also use project Astoria in ur lumia 930
I will check it out!
I think that if you set the date back to 2018, then WhatsApp may work. It worked on Blackberry bold for me.
Worth a shot!
lol that's a great Idea
I'll try it on my old beloved blackberry
@@AgentStofftier Try to set it to 2016. Whatsapp got unsupported in 2017
i had nokia lumia 730 great phone unfortunetly i sold it 2 years back and im still regreting for that😭 what a great phone with amoled display😭
The AMOLED display for way back then was huge...amazing to look at. Thanks!
2:40 wasted on the beginning...
Can i use this in windows 8.1?
8.1 is very difficult at this point. I would say no, unfortunately. Sorry!
Thanks for your vídeo!
It doesn't work in muy case.
I have recently bought a Lumia 735 (W8.1). I have tried but nothing. It dosn't load any app.
I'm only interested in Telegram...
Could you help me please? Thanks in advance.
Maybe it's neccesary to upgrade W10?
Any method or video to follow to do It, please?
At this point it would absolutely be necessary to upgrade to W10 in order to be able to download anything for sure. There is a link in my Nokia Lumia 830 video telling people how to do it! You might have to make some changes though to the registry...google is what helped me with it because you have to go line by line to be able to update the device. Thanks!
@StevealiciousTech Thanks a lot Steve! I'm going yo do It. And I will tell you what has happened.
Thanks, great vídeo. Helps a lot, i have 950 XL and its still great, powerfull smartphone, powerfull câmera!
Thanks for watching!
Does Viber works??
Can I still buy a Microsoft Lumia in Nov 2020?(some stock is still available at amazon.) I previously had Lumia which I later gave to my dad and bought an Android phone... But I can still say Windows phones were far better than Android!
I mean as long as you understand the limitations and are comfortable doing things through web apps, they still run quite well. Good battery life and not a lot of distractions! Thanks for watching!
Em 2021 a coisa só piorou...
I like to buy lumia 1020 please help me
Just don't.
I am writing this on my Lumia 735 windows 8.1 good video I use mainly at at home wifi I use the browser for RUclips camera app flashlight weather Xbox music outlook fm radio candy crush and that's about all I do with it I have a barcode scanner PDF maker decibel reader mic recorder
That's great that all of it still works for you! You don't have access to the store though, right? How is the browser for youtube these days? thanks!
@@StevealiciousTech Edge works but there are some websites that don't load correctly and no I don't have access to the app store
@@StevealiciousTech also the front camera is not working but I love the phone it's a 5.7 inch 720p display with clear black technology qi charging battery life is surprising good I think it's a 2200 mha great one handed use I can't get group message to work but regular message works and that's the biggest downfall of it
Is Spotify still working?
From what I remember you can add files to play in Spotify but playlists and connecting to the internet are not functioning properly. Thanks!
yes, still work... im using in my old Microsoft Lumia 650!
I can use "Mada pay" App???
Mafi
You sound a lot like the guy that voices the puppet on the channel Arlo. Also, love the Pokemon calendar
Thank you! I had to look it up. Arlo has a cool channel and yes I can see a little of that! I like the Pokemon calendar a lot myself! Was a gift from my fiance. Thanks for watching!
u are wrong,, if my 640xl was upgraded from 8.1 to ten. then its good to go
Can I still update it to windows 10
Which one? You can but follow the link in my Lumia 830 video. It has the article on how to do it. Works great. Thanks!
@@StevealiciousTech ok great. I don’t own a windows phone right now. Do u suggest getting an 830 over any other. Not trying to spend too much money
I would say a 830 or 930 if you can. They should be roughly similar in price and the 930 is better performance wise.
@@StevealiciousTech I just took a chance on 550 it comes with windows 10 installed It should be here next week
I have 520, 630, 640XL
Very good phones.
Really good stuff. I’ve always heard good things about the 640XL. Still want to get one! How is it running? Thanks!
@@StevealiciousTech I have a 640 XL running the last windows 10 mobile build its not fast but its usable
you can get better telegram as unigram on the store (and it still work)
I will be trying that in the next video! Thanks!
i´m still using my Windows 8.1 Nokia Lumia 630 lol i miss the app store
I know, it stinks not having it anymore! Thanks for watching!
Does it support the whatsapp GB???
GB? I know the app doesn't work for sure, unfortunately! Thanks!
I got lumia 950 at just 50 dollar dew few days ago. It is in reallly great condition bt the battery is damn bad.
That is a great deal too! Sorry about the battery!!
Brand new battery is just 3.99 on ebay
@@sjruksjruksjruk yes bt I've seen many people are facing this problem so maybe this is the software issue not battery
@@unboxeverythingwithkuku The battery was in there from new and I have just replaced because of age. The battery is fine in a Windows phone and easily lasts the day. The OS is still the best looking and most fluid even after all these years.
telegram messenger is in windows store and tuber 4khdr good app i am still using lumia 950xl ace phone camera is awesome
Telegram in the app store wasn't working for me when I downloaded it. The functionality was weird. It seemed better on the web app but maybe it is working better on your phone. I will check out the tuber app. Thanks for watching!
@@StevealiciousTech find it better than whatsapp matey can send large video files use lumia 950xl camera best pics 4k video 60fps also got razer phone 2 unlocked but razer support useless wont update to android 9
It is like giving a dead person a glass of water.
Yes, unfortunately we are still dead on windows though! Thanks for watching!
Zoom?
News didnt work anymore since i updated the ms store :(
I had the same problem, unfortunately. Hate that that tile doesn't update anymore...used to be so cool!
U could use dimas' moded apps
I just got the Lumia 650
How is the phone? I'm planning to get one
What’s even better is that MyTube has a free trial. 🙂
Definitely! Works great though. Love the feel of it. Feels like an app designed this year. And I haven’t used that launcher! Will have to check it out. Thanks!
i stunk in windows 8.1 pls help me rm 937

home run my man. i have 15 640xl phones I've been updating to windows ten and now trying to get store stuff on them. i plan to go overseas and give them to poor asian people . but Microsoft keeps killing off the windows ten store slowly. u need to show me how to keep this great phone vital.
I will have an updated video soon on what you can still do. Not a whole lot has changed. There are ways to update with side load as well. The link I have in the description should help with that!
@@StevealiciousTech ok its 2021 , i use 640xl and i have 15 of them. i only need basic stuff. what about the windows store for windows ten??????????????????? still going but for how long?????????
You rock bro
