That is strange, when did you last time install the firmware on your device?

New Firmware 15010 last week, Insider App yesterday , reinstall Insider App today.

Interesting, so I suppose there might 2 causes, one is that MS patched the hole or you have some conflicting settings on the phone.

If you have time to spare - you could hard reset your device, start fresh (w/o restoring backups), install insider app and check then, if the update is available you could restore from backup once you get to w10m.

Otherwise - wait for official release.

I suppose that your MOID is 000-33 and branch WPB_CXE_R2 (can be found in the insider app about screen).

First if you are on 15010 and getting no builds available error in windows insider then just try it.My brother has got Lumia 640xl lte last week and he had a same problem but later it was available.

 

[abhijit pore]

Well if you are on 15010 and with 8.1 and select any ring in windows insider though you will be updated to .107 threshold build.Production build option in windows insider app will show only when you will be on win 10.

Again two firmwares:
15010:Only windows insider technical previews.Production(10586)+Redstone(14xxx)technical previews.
15013:Official update through upgrade advisor app+Redstone(14xxx)technical previews through windows insider app.
I tried 14332.1001 Redstone preview on both firmwares and it was a terrible mess.

The strange thing is that release preview ring does not work on both firmwares.
Tried 14295, downgraded within few days as well, so I suppose Redstone should go public only by the end of summer, or more realistically knowing MS - end of year. :grin:

Hard reset is optional once you get to the .107, however it is recommended to do one when you update to the newest release.

Glad to help, but don't forget abhijit pore, he's the one who pointed out that the device gets to .107 before going to Redstone builds, thus allowing to upgrade.

Grabbed the latest build .318 and it definitely Seems Faster and also has some battery life improvements...

Update: Battery life is best with this build...even better than 8.1 I suppose...

Indeed it seems to be faster and even more stable, battery life - perfect, so far in a day (24hrs) it lost just 2% of the charge.

Got a problem guys, after trying to hard reset on build 14332.1001 had a :-( smiley with a bootloop.

I restore my phone via WDRT on the US firmware cause it doesn't seems to cause a problem (it doesn't before only Windows 10 did) & is got the most update firmware (15013 compare to 15010) however does anyone had the same issues & which firmware guys do u recommend.
(Got an X150e white model).

Thanks. :grin:

EDIT1: Finally rolled back to 8.1 firmware 15010 after trying 15013.

Owner of the x150e on 15010, have used 15013 before.

they both have their own pros and cons.

15013:
Better digitizer response than on 15010

15010:
Had annoying digitizer button backlight issues when using the phone on 15013 (button backlight was flashing rapidly), however on 15010 I don't have such issues.
GPS reception seems to be better.


P.S. if you think the newer the better - why not to try 15023 for JR LTE (x130e)? ( don't try, might brick the phone).
It doesn't mean that newer firmware will work better, as it might be designed for another phone or model version, so IMO it is best to keep on your model firmware, because its been released to work on it and as W10m is accessible on 15010 by following method described already I have personally reflashed to 15010.

Okay I did tried 14332.1001 on insider preview on both the firmwares.Here' my experience:

15010:First upgraded through windows insider preview via fast ring. Initially it was updated to 10586.107.Then selected fast ring again and this time it was downloaded 14332.1001.After installation the trouble began at get going fast screen. Things were very slowly working. Things got even worse after a hard reset. Phone takes 3 to 5 minutes to reboot or turn off. Many apps were still showing pending in app list while in the store it was showing no updates. WhatsApp Facebook and many more apps were not opening. Data connection screen goes blank in settings. There were random freezes hangs experienced. Overall it was a horrific experience. So downgraded to 8.1 through wdrt with 15013.

15013: This time upgraded through upgraded advisor app and then windows insider app fast ring got update of 14332.1001 insider preview.Same things happened as on 15010.But after a soft reset and hard reset this time got some relief.
Vibration while navigation: For the first time I have literally experienced our Blu phone vibrating while navigating. For this you need to enable vibrate while navigation option in settings-personalisation menu. The vibration on the phone was cool.
Surprisingly battery backup was very good. Data connection settings was showing options. But again problem with the app opening was still there. So finally decided to downgrade to 8.1 using wdrt with 15013.Again updated to win 10 through upgrade advisor app and now I am on 10586.318 with 15013 firmware.

@abhijit---what do you mean by vibration while navigating??? do you mean the capacitive buttons had vibration

or the screen??
or both?

it would be so ******* kool if the capacitive buttons have vibration....I wonder why blu kept it off all this time ?:eck:

Vibration on capacitive buttons only and it has to be manually enabled in the settings. It required phone restart.I am also surprised because my older HTS Windows 8S also had a vibration on win 8.1.Hopefully in future updates Blu might enable it.

ohh gr8...dat sounds amazing......but still blu shouldn't have kept it off all this time.....its bizarre...y dey did so....
what about glance screen?? any possibility of getting it?
or is there any workaround to get one?

 

[Vincenzo Venuto]

Why blu do not have pushed out officially via ota the firmware 15010? But it's present in WDRT?
What do you think?

 

[Easwaran N]

Glance feature requires special display glasses. So cannot expect it with a software update. no work around either :unhappy:

Can we enable this in 8.1?
