    Unsupported CU phone users: What will you do now?

    I have this problem so I decided to roll back to AU. This and the problem with the maps app flickering are common issues on 535. Unfortunately instead of fixing the bugs they dropped support so I am not optimistic they are going to get fixed.

    Microsoft well known for breaking promise

    It's Microsoft's fault. They had to make sure for 2 things. First that at the launch of the platform the 10 most popular apps (facebook etc.) will have a working full version in native code for the platform. Second that at the launch of the platform the serious bugs will be zero. If a 500...

    If anyone is having a bug with a Notification about "Messaging+" after every restart of the phone, go to 'Notifications and actions' in settings and disable the registry that starts with 49FE2D37. It's probably some leftover experimental code in the build by MS.

    The black screen lockup is the most annoying of the bugs I have on my Lumia 535. WDRT and hard resets doesn't resolve it. I have set auto brightness to off and a static image for Lockscreen instead of bing daily image and now it happens less frequently. The only thing I haven't tried is reverse...

    Can you blame them? MS doesn't allocate enough resources to mobile. Bugs reported 4 months ago are present today. If they don't get serious to hire a team of experienced programmers to deal with bug fixing alone things will deteriorate further. Some bugs are so obvious that any one using the...

    Yes together with a mesage about something called messenger+ every time I restart my phone. It seems to have disappeared after the second hard reset. I will test it until tomorrow and report back. PS if anyone else has the blank screen after unlock bug, try setting automatic brightness to off...

    That with the tiles is a mystery to me. Whenever I code a test app and run it on my phone the tile always works as expected. So there is no bug on the OS side. Yet on Microsoft apps such as News and Money, half the time the tiles are stuck. I can't figure out how they manage to achieve this.

    Switching platforms? | Thinking of leaving?...comment here!

    Re: Should we start leaving Windows 10 Mobile now? I have an iPhone SE also but I like the wm10 better. Its more adventurous :-). I find no reason to abandon it unless they abandon the platform.

    I mean flickering inside the app, here is a quick video I took with the bugs the flickering can be seen at the right side of the phone when I move the map. At the lock screen there is a second bug, when unlocking the phone for a fraction of a second the screen shows the image of the app and...

    Do you observe any flickering on maps app also? I ve got this problem on my 535 and hard reset is not fixing it. Redstone 2 is a nightmare on my phone. Lots of problems. Never had any problems before redstone 2.

    That bug exists forever. I have it every time after a hard reset. I switch ring and retry. After many tries I usually manage to install the second keyboard.

    Instagram can't upload videos. Stuck on "Preparing"

    re: Instagram can't upload videos. Stuck on "Preparing" It's not the video specs unfortunately. It's the app. Poorly optimized code. In Lumia 535 you are never able to upload a video in Instagram and even video playback is not working properly and has flickering. They don't care to fix it. On...

    Its the second time today I had a black locked screen issue and needed to reboot. I hope MS doesn't think its OK for the average consumer to face such issue and release with this unresolved. As is the phone is completely unreliable.

    Black screen of death after unlocking the device is still present on this build. Not as frequent as before but I already had 2 in 24 hours. The phone works at the background but screen remains black and needs rebooting the phone to work again. I think microsoft should give a little more...

    Windows 10 Mobile build 15043 Discussion (Redstone 2; Fast Ring)

    After a day I had to revert the L535 back with the WDRT. There is a serious bug and randomly the phone is not waking up from locked screen with the power button. Didn't resolve either after a hard reset. Only solution was forced reboot or taking out the battery. First time in 35 years I couldn't...
