    Facing a lag when returning to start screen WP8.1 GDR1

    My start screen has become quite laggy since upgrading to WP8.1 GDR1. Thought I'd give it the benefit of the doubt and wait for Cyan. Got Cyan last night, and it's still laggy. The stutter is jarring. Using a Lumia 1020 here. Maybe it's because I have too many live tiles / folders on the start...

    What apps are you still waiting for on WP8?

    3 months on, I can cross off - Uber, Fitbit, Pinterest, and I'm happy enough with the Skype and Facebook apps now. I'm also over Path, Yelp, Instagram and 1Password. So, still need new: Coursera, Quora, Zipcar, Meetup, Airbnb, TripIt, Etsy Improved: LinkedIn, Mail, LastPass, Tripadvisor, 500px

    At what point will you abandon WP?

    This is exactly how I feel. WP8.1 removes a lot of what made WP unique in the first place. If it's going to lose those differentiating factors, then why put up with a sub-par experience?

    Facebook : features, discussions, rants, issues, solutions

    Seems like the interface is changed to be consistent with android version. I like it for the most part, especially the full width photos.

    Windows Phone 8.1 apps

    So there hasn't been any apps announced yet that will make use of the new WP8.1 SDK. Not sure how soon we can expect apps to take advantage of the new SDK, but I thought it'd be a good idea to start a thread to keep track of all updated apps.

    Videos not saving

    Okay, so I had a chance to look at the phone from File Explorer on Windows, and lo-and-behold, the videos are there! So, there's definitely a bug somewhere. The video files are rather large, at around 250mb for the larger ones. Maybe WP8 cannot cope with the large file sizes.

    Videos not saving

    Has anyone had any issues with the recorded video not being saved? Seems like a bug / glitch somewhere that's preventing the video from being saved. The recording phase looks fine, but afterwards, the video cannot be found anywhere. This is done using the Nokia Camera (4.5.1.7) with the latest...

    Also really hoping for custom fields in contacts / people app, and allowing more than two mobile numbers. Currently to get around this, I have to set up multiple contacts and link them. Also it would be nice to be able to set one of the contact as yourself, as there's currently no way to store...
