How to convert Windows Phone 8.1 to Windows Phone 8 on Nokia Lumia

Windows Phone 8.1 has been the center of attention during these weeks. Despite only being available version for developers , many of you have upgraded to this preview.

This version of the operating system and finally promised has not disappointed thus integrates many upgrades and customization.

But most of them are happy with the upgrade, there will be people who wish to return to Windows Phone 8 . Whether problems with battery life , others with the camera or simply for the stability Windows Phone 8 provides.

If you tried or do you think we should say that restoring factory settings does not work to perform thedowngrade phone. All that will achieve is to erase our data.

To make the downgrade is necessary to reinstall the firmware and we can do it in two ways, via Nokia Software Updater or Nokia Care Suite . Before carrying out the process, we must consider the following:

• These methods work only on Nokia Lumia phones.
• Both methods will erase all your data from the phone.
• We should make a backup.
• Have your device fully charged.

Via Nokia Software Updater

The procedure to do the downgrade with NSU is the same as upgrading to Nokia Lumia Black. Download the program , run it and connect your phone. NSU will recognize it and give to update, upgrade and wait patiently.

As you can see in the video, the procedure is very simple, if you have doubt, you can check out our article where we explain step by step , follow the instructions and you will have Windows Phone 8 on your device again.

While many have worked for them, not us NSU helped us make the downgrade , I try to make two phones and in none of the cases resulted. Both phones were Nokia Lumia 920.

Via Nokia Care Suite

Similarly happens with NSU to make a downgrade by NCS , continue the same steps to upgrade to Nokia Lumia Black.

We have to install the program, download the firmware you wish to use, connect the device and install. Can you visit the main article where you more detail the procedure thoroughly.

In the case of Nokia Care Suite, the downgrade worked perfectly , I realized what a Nokia Lumia 920 with a firmware for Nokia Lumia Black, a free version for Mexico.

As previously stated, these procedures are carried out under the responsibility of the conduct , despite rarely occur, may damage the device, so if you are not sure do not do it.

As I write this article, I'm updating my phone again to Windows Phone 8.1. In spite of that the battery lasts less and the resolution of the camera is concerned, is a great upgrade and I loved it.

One of the most used messenger LINE receives a big update

Developers LINE follow their pace releasing updates to further improve their application, in this version 3.6.0.425 changes and new features are really important. That said I strongly recommend that actualize to enjoy all the new features like.

Maybe LINE for many users is not an application to take into account as there are other more known and used in many cases people are reluctant to change and when they get used to something hard to prove otherwise. Definitely believe worth trying this app , update often tend to improve.

These are the improvements in the update released yesterday:

• You can send multiple pictures and we have a preview
• The messages can forward and delete
• You can see a preview of unread messages in the live tile requires Windows Phone 8/8.1, in case you are not properly advise us clear the live tile and create a new one
• They have added partial support in receiving messages of official accounts
• The access speed has been improved
• Interface enhancements navigation Homepage
• Users can now buy stickers from the store payment stickers, requires Windows Phone 8 / 8.1
• Were corrected errors and improved performance

Just look at the above list of improvements to see the developers take into account Windows Phone, there are other messaging applications that fall short compared to versions of iOS and Android .Anyway LINE is not an application of the bunch, remember that it has over 460 million users , a negligible figure. Another important thing is that it works on Windows Phone 7.5.

OneDrive and Outlook have a new more secure encryption system

We always feel good that companies improve safety in the services offered to consumers.

Today we'll talk about Microsoft, they are adding a new encryption support for OneDrive and Outlook , this also coincides with the opening of its first Transparency Center.

Specifically the new encryption support is called Perfect Forward Secrecy.

This new system will be available in OneDrive and mobile applications. With this extra level of security Microsoft wants to put things more difficult for attackers , cost more to decipher the connections between their systems and OneDrive .

Outlook also have this system of encryption . Now when you send an email to someone this email be encrypted, and therefore be better protected as it passes from Microsoft servers to other providersemail.

Regarding Transparency Center was opened on the campus in Redmond Washington.

This center is created to give different government agencies revivalist a simple way to the source of many of the products coded software from Microsoft, the end is to show that there is no security or back-doors that may compromise their use.

In the future, Microsoft plans to open more centers Transparency Sites.

Anything to improve services and protect more the user either with better privacy policy or improving the security is good.

Sometimes companies are not very transparent with users , we believe this is not good. So you know, if you are users of these two services from Microsoft, from now on your emails and documents that you may keep in OneDrive be more protected.

Do you regularly and OneDrive You use Outlook?

How to install downloaded applications in Windows Phone 8.1 Store

With the arrival of Windows Phone 8, I get a method by which we could install applications on our phone from SD card. 

Thus, we could save the download application using mobile and space involved in the memory of the phone during installation.

But only apps downloaded from the Windows Phone Store, and maintaining connection to the store because it was checking if we had permission to install it.

Yes, all holders of a terminal that does not have SD card, could not make that method.

With Windows Phone 8.1 , the possibilities have increased and it is now possible:

• Install applications on SD card through our terminal to save space on the phone memory.
• Move installed to SD card or SD card applications being able to free up the phone and installed applications.

But can we still install downloaded from Windows Phone Store applications? Well the answer is yes, and that point has also improved. Now not only the owners of an SD card terminal can perform the installation , but also those with only internal storage.

To do this, simply copy the downloaded file to the root of the phone or the root directory of the SD card.

Once you've copied the file, we'll go to the Windows Phone Store.

Click on options and see an option that had previously not now appears to install local applications. If we click on it we get a list of applications and is compatible and can install it we can select.

It is a good method if we unloaded a heavy application as it can be a game in hand even gigas and we have to install it on multiple terminals.

Now available even without SD card terminals. Of course, we can only install applications we can install from the store itself .

You knew this new method to install applications?
