Positioning methods
Your phone shows your location on the map using GPS, GLONASS, A-GPS, WiFi, or network
(Cell ID) based positioning.
The availability, accuracy and completeness of the location info depend on, for example, your
location, surroundings, and third party sources, and may be limited. Location info may not be
available, for example, inside buildings or underground. For privacy info related to positioning
methods, see the Microsoft Mobile Privacy Policy.
The Assisted GPS (A-GPS) network service and other similar enhancements to GPS and
GLONASS retrieve location info using the cellular network, and assists in calculating your
current location.
A-GPS and other enhancements to GPS and GLONASS may require transferring small amounts
of data over the mobile network. If you want to avoid data costs, for example when travelling,
you can switch the mobile data connection off in your phone settings.
WiFi positioning improves positioning accuracy when satellite signals are not available,
especially when you are indoors or between tall buildings. If you're in a place where the use
of WiFi is restricted, you can switch WiFi off in your phone settings.
Note: Using WiFi may be restricted in some countries. For example, in the EU, you are
only allowed to use 5150–5350 MHz WiFi indoors, and in the USA and Canada, you are
only allowed to use 5.15–5.25 GHz WiFi indoors. For more info, contact your local
authorities.

A company account on your phone helps you do your job.
If you have a work phone, your company can create a company account that keeps the info
in your phone more secure, gives you access to documents or info from inside the company's
network, and even provides apps or hubs that help you do your job.
If your company has apps available, you are given the option to download them, as soon as
you've finished adding the company account to your phone. If an app isn't available until after
you've already set up your account, your company can let you know how to get it.
A company hub lets you get to all sorts of company info in one place such as news, expenses,
apps, or access to a company store. Installing a hub works the same way as installing a
company app – if one's available, you have the option to add it once you've added your
company account. If your company develops a hub later, you are offered another way to get
it set up when ready.
Most company accounts include a policy. A company policy allows your company to add
safeguards to your phone, often to protect confidential or sensitive info.
To set up your company account, on the start screen, swipe from the top of the screen, and
tap ALL SETTINGS > workplace.
For more info on business solutions, go to aka.ms/businessmobilitycenter.

can join meetings directly from calendar invitations. You can use the integrated mail and
calendar so that, for example, when you have a meeting coming up, you can view the attendee
list and, with a tap, access any mail or text message discussions you have had with an attendee.
Keep your data secure on your phone
Your phone has a variety of security options to make sure no one else has access to the
sensitive data you have stored on your phone. For example, you can set your phone to lock
automatically, or you can even locate your phone if it gets lost (not available in all regions).

  • Heb ander Ziggo modem, alle wachtwoorden van alle apparatuur, weer ingesteld alleen op Lumia 640 XL. Geen Google meer, wel wachtwoord kunnen wijzigen krijg tekst: "Kan geen verbinding maken met de server". Alle apps werken behalve Google, er is dus verbinding met de server. Ook het ingestelde wachtwoord op de Lumia is dus OK. Gesteld op 16-9-2018 om 11:40

    • Ik vrees dat er voor WhatsApp voor Windows-telefoons geen updates meer worden uitgegeven. Opnieuw installeren van WA zal dan alleen de laatst uitgegeven versie opleveren, maar misschien blijven uw problemen dan bestaan.

      Ik zou overwegen om een telefoon met iOS of Android te kopen, omdat dan WA regelmatig wordt bijgewerkt.

      Veel succes!

    • Welke code? De pincode om het toestel te ontgrendelen? Dan wordt het wel heel moeilijk om WA bij te werken. Misschien 10x de verkeerde pincode opgeven en dan openen met de PUK-code die op de doos vermeld staat.

      Echter, ik denk dat WA geen updates meer ontvangt voor Windows-telefoons. Er zit misschien niets anders op dan over te stappen naar een telefoon met iOS of Android.

  • Wanneer ik een nieuwe simkaart plaats in de Microsoft Lumia 640 LTE moet ik dan mijn telefooncontacten eerst opslaan. Indien ja, hoe doe ik dat? Gesteld op 17-9-2017 om 18:15

    Reageer op deze vraag Misbruik melden
    • Ik heb die telefoon niet meer, maar als ik het goed heb onthouden moeten de contacten eerst verplaatst worden naar het telefoongeheugen. Na aankoop is de standaardinstelling dat contacten niet op de simkaart worden opgeslagen, maar in het telefoongeheugen. Verplaatsen kan volgens mij van uit de contactenlijst door in het menu in het scherm (drie puntjes) alle contacten te selecteren en die daarna te verplaatsen.

      Maar misschien is het handig om eerst eens te proberen of de contacten bewaard zijn gebleven als u eerst de simkaart wisselt. Als de contacten niet aanwezig zijn, zijn ze opgeslagen in de oude simkaart en dient u de contacten na het terugzetten van de oude simkaart te verplaatsen van deze simkaart naar het telefoongeheugen.

      Vervolgens PERSONEN sluiten.
      WhatsApp wordt direct gesynchroniseerd, dus als het goed is, staat het nieuwe (of aangepaste) contact meteen in de WhatsApp-contactenlijst.

    • Camera-app openen, vervolgens op het kleine video-knopje in het scherm drukken.
      Meteen verschijnt de video-knop groot in het scherm. Als je op deze grote knop drukt, start de video-opname en begint de opnametijd te lopen.

      Als dit niet werkt zou ik een "soft reset" doen door de telefoon ingeschakeld te laten en dan de batterij eruit te halen en na 10 minuten wachten weer in het toestel te zetten. De telefoon wordt opnieuw gestart en is dan gereset.

    Wat is dit en hoe verwijder ik dit eventueel? Gesteld op 3-2-2017 om 14:03

    Reageer op deze vraag Misbruik melden
    • Uw GSM staat in "stille modus". Daarom denk ik dat uw GSM nog Windows Phone 8.1 gebruikt als besturingssoftware. In Windows Phone 8.1 kunt u de "stille modus" vinden in INSTELLINGEN en daarin het submenu AUDIO. In AUDIO kunt u de "stille modus" inschakelen en uitschakelen.

      In Windows 10 Mobile kan ik geen "stille modus" vinden.

      Mijn advies: installeer vanuit de STORE de applicatie "UPGRADE ASSISTENT" en laat deze assistent uw telefoonsoftware bijwerken.

      In principe worden tijdens een update (of upgrade van WP 8.1 naar W 10 M) geen bestanden van uw telefoon verwijderd, maar voor de zekerheid kunt u beter eerst even de microSD-kaart verwijderen en andere persoonlijke bestanden opslaan in OneDrive of uw PC.

  • 1. Ik kan geen foto's maken, omdat er steeds opslaan in het scherm blijft staan. Eerder kon ik dit verhelpen door de camera app te beëindigen en opnieuw op te starten, dit werkt niet meer. Ook niet wanneer ik de telefoon herstart. Dit is heel vervelend en ik wil mn telefoon eigenlijk liever niet naar fabrieksinstellingen terug zetten ivm verlies van apps en data.

    2. Als ik een website open, gaat de pagina na een paar seconden weer reloaden. Dit is op elke website het geval. Zeer storend!

  • Ik heb geen ervaring met uw probleem. Misschien kunt u het volgende proberen: een "soft reset" van de telefoon.

    Daarvoor haalt u de batterij uit de gsm terwijl de gsm is ingeschakeld. Na minimaal 10 minuten de batterij weer terugzetten. De gsm start op en herstelt alle instellingen (dus GEEN fabrieksinstellingen) zonder verlies van data en persoonlijke bestanden. Ik hoop dat het probleem verdwijnt. Veel succes!

  • Na het nemen van 7 normale foto,s komt het woord OPSLAAN in beeld op de foto te staan. Het lijkt dus dat er een probleem is met het opslaan van de foto. Wel zag ik via mijn pc dat de bestandsnaam is gewijzigd van de opgeslagen foto,s, in plaats van pro.jpg, staat er nu bij naam Pro.jpg.thumb en bij type staat nu Adobe acrobat document in plaats van jpg afbeelding. Ook zijn de foto,s 130kb en anders 1,6mb. Nadat het woord OPSLAAN op de foto komt kan ik wel iets anders doen met de gsm maar geen foto,s meer maken filmen gaat ook niet dan.

  • Het Franse woord voor instellingen is waarschijnlijk : "reglaces" of "parametres".

    Als de gsm al werkt met Windows 10 Mobile:

    Veeg in het startscherm (met de grote tegels) naar rechts. Dan verschijnt de totale lijst van geinstalleerde apps.
    Druk voor INSTELLINGEN in de app-lijst op de tegel met het tandwiel. Dat is de INSTELLIGEN-app.
    Ga naar beneden in het scherm tot je het "langue" ziet of een woord als "temp(s)" en druk hierop.
    Kies daarna in het volgende lijstje "langue". Daarna verschijnt de geinstalleerde taal en kun je de taal selecteren die je wilt en de Franse taal uitschakelen.
    Verlaat na het selecteren van de juiste taal het menu en schakel de telefoon uit en daarna weer aan.

    Vergeet niet dat sommige woorden in het Frans lijken op het Engels of Latijn en soms een beetje op het Nederlands. Gebruik dus een woordenboek of vertaalprogramma.

    Als het nog steeds niet lukt, probeer dan te chatten met b2x.com. Chatten kan ook in het Nederlands. Hun webadres is:
    support.b2x.com

    Veel succes!

    • Ik denk met de PUK-code. Als ik mij niet vergis moet eerst 10x een fout code worden ingevoerd. Daarna kan met de PUK-code het toestel worden ontgrendeld, als ik mij niet vergis. Maar eerst dit even navragen bij een telecomwinkel waar deze gsm te koop is, bijv. MediaMarkt. Veel succes! Geantwoord op 14-11-2016 om 16:04

    • De vooraf geïnstalleerde camera-app van Microsoft is niet te verwijderen. Andere apps zijn gewoon te vinden in de STORE. Die kun je vinden in de lijst met apps op de telefoon (in het startscherm naar links vegen, dan zie je de alfabetische lijst van geïnstalleerde apps). In de STORE kun je in het zoekveld de term "camera" opgeven en dan worden je verschillende camera-apps aangeboden. Geantwoord op 29-11-2016 om 17:20

    • Door in het startscherm het overzichtscherm (tegeltjes) vast te houden, selecteer daarna het punaise symbool met een streepje er doorheen. Je kan de tegel ook van formaat veranderen waardoor het niet zoveel ruimte in beslag neemt. Je kan ook contacten per tegel op je startscherm zetten. Geantwoord op 4-12-2015 om 12:50

  • Dit is een beetje verwarrend als je bijv. ooit Android hebt gehad. Het tegeltje met de telefoonhoorn staat vaak op geschiedenis (belhistorie) als je daar op een contactpersoon drukt belt hij deze meteen. Je kan in deze app ook doorswipen naar snelkeuze. Als je de app sluit en je opent de app weer dan komt hij automatisch in de snelkeuze tab. Je kan, zoals ik, ook gebruikt maken van de personen app, dan zie je eerst alle contactpersonen (telefoonboekje). Geantwoord op 4-12-2015 om 12:55
