Luke (PNG), 19 May 2017I've got a Nokia Lumia 830 since 2015, the phone is ok but ... moreur cellphones battery may causing this, or also depends on
which OS u r on, bcz on both there are drawbacks as u know 8.1 no more supported by Microsoft as resultant even developers also withdrawing their support major players like facebook, and its messenger, some banking apps and many more.
now on windows 10 mobile (Lumia 830), it think it hardware isn't strong enough to run well windows 10 and its Apps. still i suggest to upgrade bcz still MS providing cumulative dates, and its usable, and u get get everything for your basic need.

                Great device had it since launch. Battery still holds a good charge (lasts a day at least with heavy use). Only problem now is the lack of support from Microsoft for this device and windows phone platform as a whole

                      even though i can't remember how many times i went for windows 10 mobile, every time i preferred to back on windows phone 8.1, i agree it depends on person to person, i'm sharing my experiences, as i told i'm not a big fan of graphical changes if i'm not getting performance.
                      specially on my lumia 830 things which disappointed me in every update....
                      1- starting with PIN unlocking. it never ask ur old pin while removing ur PIN password, means anybody can remove PIN, i cant compromise security in the name of graphics.
                      2- photos- it still take a while to upload knew photos, and refreshing lag.
                      3- they removed FM radio, donno why they took such a stupid action.
                      4- they removes social network integration from people hub. ( like facebook, tweeter)
                      5- still calendar and mail getting trouble to sync with dates. dates kept showning previous date everytime unless u restart ur phone or resize ur calendar and mail start screen tiles.
                      6- glance screen always takes a bit longer time to show for notification than normal time on glance.
                      7- Edge browser- still far behind even from internet explorer (windows phone 8.1), no way to compare with chrome or safari. very poor performance on browsing.
                      8- groove music live tile sync failure, and still no way to access ur music content from onedrive.
                      9- surround sound not working on video recording from camera.
                      10- cortana looks like showing web pages on white background card.
                      and if we talk about os optimization its just long way to go for microsoft.
                      i just hope microsoft not to quit from mobile support.
                      i'm still on 8.1, my next os upgrade will be soon again after creator upadate where chances are very less for lumia 830 to get. or may be before on insider if not.

Try to upgrade. And no need to go to service centre for downgrading. You can do it yourself, Use windows device recovery tool on your PC to downgrade to WP8.1 if you have issues again Also if you are upgrading from 8.1, The first upgrade will deploy build 10586.219. From there it will update again to build 14393.953(Current Public build as on 28th March 2017). But trust me. I find the current windows 10 mobile way better than the stock OS.

I was able to solve it after almost two weeks of struggle. You need to download and install the Windows Device Recovery Tool on your computer, and after that connect your phone to the computer to properly install the 8.1 software in order to get it working perfectly including all the apps in OS8.1.
