Anonymous, 16 Nov 2020I can't even download any app on this window phone why would you even use it, even when the phone was relevant it barely had any app support!

i remember it had no snapchat support, you had to sideload some random app that was a homebrew to get it on there!

                        The factory Rest will remove your primary Microsoft account and you may lose data if it has not been synced. Be sure to back up any data and files you want to keep before you do a factory reset.

                        Switch off the phone.
                        Press and hold the Volume Down button and connect the charger.
                        Hold the Volume Down button until you see an exclamation mark.
                        Press the buttons in sequence:
                        > VOLUME UP
                        > VOLUME DOWN

                        > VOLUME DOWN.
