Windows Phone 8.1 does not upload / sync camera roll photos to OneDrive

Recently my Lumia 920 with Windows Phone 8.1 stopped uploading photos to OneDrive.
Searching the web i found out, that this happens to all photos taken with "Auto Upload" being turned off!
I had "Auto Upload" turned of to save some high speed volume. Even after turing it on again, the photos i took while i was turned of did not sync to OneDrive automatically.

How-I-fixed-it:
There's a very usefull app called "Camera Roll Sync" in the Windows AppStore which allows to sync the photos manually.
Here's the AppStore URL: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-ca/store/app/camera-roll-sync/5b7e86ad-32f7-47f5-95a0-eda5ef0abb31

Micrososft Account/Outlook.com/Hotmail sync error 85010014 on windows phone 8.1

After having some Internet Connection issues with my Wi-Fi at home, my Microsoft Account on Windows Phone 8.1 Lumia 920 stopped synchronizing with the Server, showing error code 85010014.


How-I-fixed-it:
I did a soft reset on my Lumia 920 as described here by pressing the volume down and power on button for at least 10 seconds until the phone reboots.
After the reboot, the Microsoft Account sync with the outlook.com server worked fine again.

Blue Screen of Death BSOD on Windows 8.1 with WiFi Adapter Intel 4965AGN: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL in netwlv64.sys

Since the update wo Windows 8.1 I'm getting random BSOD reporting there's an issue with DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL in netwlv64.sys.

How-I-fixed-it:
In the thread
https://communities.intel.com/message/207413#207413
there's a suggestion to use the driver NETw4v64.sys version 11.0.5.32:
http://support.toshiba.ca/support/isg/drivers/common/vista/Intel%20Wireless%20Driver-11.5.0.32.zip

Did this on Dec 4th and there were no BSOD so far :-)

Also here they suggest to use older drivers:

Here's a little update:
Although the driver works fine without any crashes so far, it stopped me from being able to Internet Connection Sharing with my Nokia Lumia 920 because the driver does not support the FIPS profile!

Nokia Lumia 920 WindowsPhone 8 WP8 Battery drain because of background tasks

Over the last days, the battery of my Lumia 920 was empty much faster than i was used to. Usually it lasted y couple of days, but now it's empty after 1 day.

How-i-fixed-it:
I found the right hints here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp8-wpupdate/lumia-920-battery-issues/94655503-118c-4dfe-b433-08c23b8140c6

I fixed it by disabled a couple of background tasks. I also found out, that some of those Background tasks were added by recently installed apps.

Go to Settings->Apps->Background Tasks to see the list of apps that work in the background and choose the ones the disable.

Windows Phone 8 Lumia 920 does not connect to company / university WLAN any more. Certificate issue.

I had my Lumia 920 WP8 phone connected to my company / university WLAN at KIT  (wkit-802.1x) for months without issues. A few days ago, it started to refuse to connect to the WLAN. It kept asking my for username and passwort and then just told me "Anmeldung nicht möglich" (german). I think the error message in english could be something like "Cannot connect" or "Could not connect to WLAN".

How-i-fixed-it:
The Problem seems to be caused by an issue with the root certificate the Network uses (Deutsche Telekom Root CA 2). I downloaded the certificate again as described on my university WLAN help page, sent it to myself by email and opened it on my phone. WP8 asked me to install the certificate and i confirmed.
After that, i tried to connect to WLAN again and it works!

Windows 8 Crash / BlueScreen / BSOD using Internet Connection Sharing /Tethering with Nokia Lumia 920 WP8 smartphone

Today i used the Internet sharing function on my Nokia Lumia 920 WP8 phone to browse the web from my Windows 8 laptop computer (Dell M1330, Windows 8 64bit).
A few seconds after opening the Internet Explorer 10, my PC showed the Blue Screen Error BSOD  (The error is Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal, caused by netwlv64.sys) and rebooted. This was repeatable, rebooting both devices did not help.

How-I-fixed-it:
I found the right hint here:
http://gadgets.itwriting.com/1986-fixing-blue-screen-using-internet-connection-sharing-in-windows-phone-8.html

I'm just citing this solution here:

Reboot, and before you connect to the Lumia 920 WLAN (or before it crashes), view the properties of the wireless connection. Click Advanced, and enable Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) for the connection. That worked for me and i did not see the BSOD again.
