o2 Priority on Windows 10 Mobile

Anonymous — Tue, 21 Jul 2015 12:26:50 GMT

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone has had success on installing the o2 Priority app on Windows 10 Mobile yet?

I can find it in the store but it doesn’t install properly on my Lumia 1020.

I wonder if it has been registered properly with the Windows 10 store yet? I’m not sure if anyone from o2 / a Mod can answer that?

I know the OS is pre release software, but this is the only app I’m having trouble with!

Thanks

@Chris_K might know but I suspect it's not compatible yet......?

The odd/funny thing about it (and the reason I suspect it may not be registered correctly with the Windows 10 store) is that it tells me it downloads successfully and installs, but actually downloads and installs the "Office365 Admin" tool from Microsoft!

Either way it's an issue for the backroom boys to sort out.....

I've successfully installed the Priority app, but can't get an activation code sent - hope it'll be fixed soon - missing my goodies!

It could be to do with the OS still technically being in pre-release. Once the 950 / 950 XL get released next week we could see an update to the store to add compatibility

Ive installed on windows mobile 10 beta on my lumia 930. WM10 is still a beta but its feature complete, just a few wee niggles here and there so.. however, its could be that the older hardware. The newer chips such as the 630, 830 and 930 are said to run the beta much smoother than the older chips in the 520 920 and 1020.

Windows 10 is not rtm yet and i doubt it will be for some time, even the 950 will be loaded with the latest insider build that`s why i will wait till it`s sorted before i update my 930.

It is almost RTM. Ive found very few hickups in the latest build 10586.11 - Windows is now being treated as a service so really the RTM will always be developing going forward. Just us on the insider prog will see new features before they are polished.

Untill o2 have tested windows 10 mobile update software i doubt you will have all the carrier specific feature`s work.

running windows 10 insider build on you phone will not be supported by your carrier.

Just to round off these recent comments, about 10 days after my original post, so first week of August, o2 released an update for o2 priority which fixed (for me) the lack of registration on Windows Phone 10 Preview.

It worked as advertised from then on on the Win Phone 10 preview.

I (for other reasons) rolled back to Windows 8.1 on my phone in Sweptember, so haven't tried since.

I'm going to the Lumia 950/XL Launch event in London tonight, so I'll let you know how it works tomorrow!

Please do @Anonymous and if you have any issues, I can feed them back to the rest of the team. The event sounds great too, so we'd love to hear your thoughts on that!

The launch was great. Picked up a Lumia 950 XL and Continuum dock.

New phone, o2 Priority app wouldn't send the confirmation code. Visual voicemail worked fine though.

Had to put the SIM in my old 8.1 phone, reinstall the o2 priority app and re-request code (which arrived straight away) wrote it down, purely the sim back in the new phone. Entered the code, and it worked fine!

Not the best that you need to use work around, but at least it worked!!

I expect o2 need to update all their apps for 10 now though......?

I have has the exact same situation with my Lumia 920 with Windows Mobile 10 installed the confirmation code just wouldnt come through i have just left it for now.

Am i correct in saying that it does not come through as a text message, but as a service message or something similar.

It's usually a normal sms text.

Are you sure becuase i remember doing it in the past instead of having the normal SMS toast notification. it had a toast notification and all it said was "New Notification" and tapping the notification then took you too the messages app.

Fairly sure. All I've had have come through as an sms in the past.

I wish i could show you what i mean, but unfortunately I’ve upgraded to Windows 10 Mobile. And what i would like to show you requires 8.1.

Hi Chaliekrad,

I know exactly what you mean. In the notification area (blue bar up the top) it doesn't show the usual phone number/company name/contacts name, plus the message, it just says 'New Notification' or similar.

It definitely looks just like a standard SMS when you go into it however. Maybe it is some quirky type of MMS?

My guess is that the Windows 10 version of the o2 Priority app doesn't currently send the appropriate message to o2 in order to get this message sent OR Windows 10 doesn't support receipt or blocks this kind of quirky sms/mms message?!
