windows phone 10

Hi,
I have been using Windows phone 8.1 update 1. I have been continuously following windows phone 10 build releases features and bugs. You guys are always telling that not to update windows 10 on your primary phone till it is stable.
So, i want to ask that now with this new build 10532 can i install it on my daily useage phone . i dont have another phone or shall i wait till october?

I'd say it depends on a few things.

Firstly, if you're unwilling to put up with freezes/bugs, don't upgrade your primary device. Secondly, if you're unable to live with a shorter battery life, don't upgrade.

Thirdly, what device are you using? If it's a mid-range device, i'd suggest waiting. Windows 10 Mobile runs significantly worse on my Lumia 822 than it does on my Lumia Icon.

I wouldn't recommend it to you. The latest build is very bad. Wait a week till the next build and then try to ask people how it works.

That's happened to me before. A soft reset usually does the trick. Simply hold down the power button for about 15 seconds, or until it vibrates and restarts itself.

I find that simply closing down apps from the task manager helps quite a bit. It's pretty easy to have a few apps open at one time and things can big down a little. If I find something doesn't work, I usually close all my apps down and often find that things work again.
