Still using my 930 to this day, it works fenominal. I use the telegram app for daily communication. But also the windows 10 update helps because I did not have any problems using the store, onedrive and Microsoft proprietary apps [words, excell, powerpoint, etc] so fully functional. And on the Microsoft website you can force update your phone to windows 10, if it is compatible of course. It works amazing as my daily driver and as you mentioned Onenote has phenomenal service. And the store works great on the W10 update, but like I mentioned you have to check if your phone supports it. My lumia 930 is snappy and it have not noticed any lag. Amazing video Steve!
Honestly these phones were *ICE* during their times! The Lumia and Xperia were severely underrated and eaten up by other giants such as Samsung and Apple. Both these series were the best of smartphones, at least according to me.
Competition is Fierce Steve, I must say, the other viewers are trying to dethrone me from the 1st comment podium. I was really looking forward to this video, Thank you, and keep up the great work.
Haha Windows Phone stuff is always tough for that! Nice! I love my 930. It will be getting another video as well soon. Love the lime green I have. Thanks as always!
Yay more windows phone content! Very informative video! Don't forget if you want more apps side loading is still an option although you've gotta interop unlock the device. Lots of 8.1 apps have thankfully been archived!
@@StevealiciousTech Some of my favourites include the entire Lumia Imaging suite (Refocus ,Pro and Smart cam, various lenses etc.) and some older games like Asphalt 8 still work, Modern Combat 4, Final Fanstasy 3, PVZ, NFS undercover, Hydro Thunder, Mirror's Edge and the Sims 3 are still fun to play
What apps did you really miss? I remember ppl saying *it has no apps!* And when I asked which ones they wanted and it was usually a *I dunno, it just needs more apps*. Reality is. It had everything.
@@EbNorth it had zero of all the mobile games I played. It missed some apps for card/board games that I used to make such board games easier. Practical apps that were lacking consisted of Google Chrome, Gmail, (any Google related app basically), pinterest, snapchat, Tumblr, tinder. I mean come on...even Instagram only had a beta mode on windows phone. Windows phones lacked in good apps overall. It basically turned off any young consumer that was under the age of 30 at the time. Young consumers want apps and stuff to do with their phones. To all of these people around the world it basically turned Windows phones into nothing more than a backup phone whenever your good phone broke unexpectedly lol At the time I loved how different it was, and had such a great camera for its time, and it had Cortana (which I loved..I hope microsoft puts out a smart home device with cortana lol) But other than that, the phone was total ass with nothing going for it
@@TheMoistDonuts yah tru..didn't have much games, but I accessed everything else I needed. I also suppose like u said, Im not in that age group that was obsessed with apps just for the sake of having apps.. The camera itself was tops. And to this day holds up. And the crop.zoom feature is still brilliant. Windows phone itself was smooth and nice. Unfortunately ppl complaining about apps was what killed it. Eventually they would've built it up but consumers are usually just foolish buyers. They buy things like they vote (in the US). Democrats or republican? Anything else is too weird. Uncomfortable. My 2 favorite phones, one is the Nokia 1020 and another the Nokia N9 running Meego. Now that was a brilliant operating system which definitely had very few apps, but was still a brilliant phone.
@@EbNorth yeah the apps killed it. I stuck with that phone for maybe a year and a half before I was completely fed up with how barebones it was. I was young and wanted to use the phone just as I had used my iPhone before owning the lumia. I finally switched back to Apple, and then way later Samsung. I was content with both but oh man, I couldn't get behind keeping my Lumia. I think I kept it as a backup for like 2 years but that was all lol
Don't do it as you'll lose the usability of the 41 MP Camera. Also a proud owner of two Lumia 1020s. One with forced Windows 10 Mobile and the other stock. Also own a Lumia 930 and Lumia 950.
Man, I ordered a brand new (sealed box) Lumia 920 in red yesterday, for 30 USD. It was some amazing luck, there is a store in my country which apparently has a few of them laying around from back in the day. I'm expecting to receive it any moment now, and I can't wait to fiddle around with it. Many years ago I used a Samsung Ativ S, which I absolutely loved and still do, but I shattered the screen. Windows Phone is an amazing OS, I can't express enough how disappointed I am that it didn't manage to catch on. For the past 2.5 years I've been using an iPhone 11 Pro and it's very very good, but the Windows Phones had that aura..
@@StevealiciousTech Insane deal for me.. I used to drool over this exact Lumia back in high school. I got it a few hours ago and it's every bit as good as I remember ir, not to mention how pretty it is. It arrived with WP 8.0 and otcupdater didn't work for me (even though I used the patched version). However, WPDR tool worked like a charm and updated it to the latest 8.1 version. I then unlocked the bootloader and rooted it, and just sideloaded Angry Birds successfully. :D Now, I'm off on a quest for apps.
What are the accessories you got after buying this in 2021. I have seen in amazon used , or new. Which one i should buy for good condition phone without scratches Which option in amazon i should go for
I just got 1020 powered back. It is locked to ATT and it doesn't find service connecting with ATT simcard :( Asks to unlock. Changing Sim card didn't help. Lumia 950 that is newer device and unlocked to any carried didn't see network either until I switched it to 3G network in settings. Att store don't have Lumia 900, 1020, 950 listed as 4g LTE devices when I told the customer representative by providing them IMEI numbers.
Hmmm, really? Maybe there was an issue because an ATT one should connect no issue...at least mine does. ATT is quite odd though. I would try ONLINE text support...not calling them. Thanks!
great video. I have a 930 with 8.1, it's an awesome and beautiful smartphone, and I'm trying to discover what other things I can do with it. hope someday to have the yellow Nokia Lumia 1020, such an beautiful and iconic device! I'm also trying to discover how can I install the last version of Lumia Camera and other apps via PC or something like that
Hi, I have Nokia Lumia 1020, but since yesterday the Camera is not working. when I click to Camera Icon its return to homescreen, I tried Hard and soft reset. still not working. now, I'm planning to downgrade to Windows 8.0 from current 8.1
I'd love to know from some owners if you can still use calls, texts, and MMS in 2023. Looking for a somewhat dumb phone for a kid but want them to be able to send photos.
Be interested to see how here maps works for you; for a holiday second phone if that works well, for some of us, it still has some life in it yet. I tend to use the 950 as the camera is good enough and 10 mobile offers a bit more. And one less usb cable to remember not to forget!
So far so good! The maps did update and I plan on using it for turn by turn so it will certainly be in the update video. But it acquired location no issue and was able to plot courses. Will let you know! Thanks!
No, unfortunately not. Unless you are willing to live with a lot of shortcomings and even though it might be hard to find a network that will let them run...at least here in the US.
great video! sadly this is alright if you had the lumia with everything setup before the end of support. got a new lumia 1320 right now and cant get anything to signup or install lol
Calendar and contacts I don't know. I don't know if there is a calendar sync. Might have to be imported from the desktop. You are able to get your email worked out though, right?
Thanks for your suggestions. 5 years ago I bought the Nokia 1020 just for the camera. I had a Nokia 925 before that. But a week ago I dropped my phone and need another phone. All web pages it says the certificate is out of date.mmmm?? Thanks for your suggestions. I compare all cameras to my 1041. The samsung camera is terrible by comparsion.
The worst thing is! You can’t even login to your Microsoft account... Office,OneDrive,OneNote and all the programs connected to your Microsoft account🥺
@@StevealiciousTech Microsoft shutted down the Login Servers in late 2019 together with the store! Means if you log out or reset your phone you can’t login to Microsoft! OneNote is still working without account but it’s not Syncing with my notebooks! OneDrive isn’t working at all without a main Microsoft account. Calendar and Mail is working if you’re logging into Microsoft exchange because these servers are still up and running!
I know that they shut the servers but my onenote is still syncing to all my notebooks and my onedrive is still sending pictures back and forth from my other phones without issue. Just had some photos from the other day pop in there. I know the live servers are down but some other stuff should still work! I just used them! Unless if I log out I won't be able to get back in.
It is offline update only. Quite a few steps and easy to mess up. Plus on the 1020 you lose a bunch of features and W10 doesnt work quite right on it. It is not like a 930 that you can just plug in and force update.
The display of my 1020 is too yellow-ish. I read somewhere this was the second top issue after the camera noise. Your display just looks like fine to me.
Are you still using your 1020? How is it holding up?

Is it updated to 10 or still on 8.1?
@@StevealiciousTech upgrade to 10👍🙂
impossible with official tool but possible with an unofficial one,but trust me it will not be that good as its not officially supported

Amazing! Going to post a couple of shots on Instagram in a few but still absolutely amazing what it can hold up to in 2021. Thanks!
Is this 8.1 cyan or denim? Thanks!
Can it still play mp3 player with wireless earbuds? I want to purchase it as a mp3 player.
I have lumia 1020 with broken screen how can i extra the data and the pictures in the phone
Nice to see your Lumia Camera still standing. I have a Lumia 830 and nothing works on it neither the camera, but it might be a hardware issue.
Oh wow! Sorry to hear that. Yes, sounds like it.

My nokia lumia 1020 sim error problem and store error how it's solve
On Windows 8.1, unfortunately, there is no solution...the store is gone!
You should have used the 1520. Its size and form factor is more inline with smartphones of today.
I can't find one I like in decent condition! And the "new" ones that are really refurbs are going for nuts money.
I put my iPhone 12 SIM card in my 1520. It didn’t work. Said I needed to get a code from my phone carrier. Any idea what that means?
It might be carrier locked. You might need to have the phone unlocked to use it with your carrier is what I would assume that means.
@@StevealiciousTech I also have a 635 I’m gonna try it there and see if I get the same message
