    Have you checked your date and time? Mine was reset after the update so my email wouldn't sync.

    Limited Wi-Fi issues.

    I have noticed it happening a few times recently when it seems to have a weak connection. I never noticed it in WP8 either.

    Storage Sense hanging

    How big is your SD? I have a 64 GB SD and it does exactly the same thing. If you take out the SD then it loads quickly and if you perform a hard reset it's quick too as no apps are installed but after apps are installed it takes ages to load the phone or SD card. Really frustrating - hopefully...

    8.1 Backup is great!

    It didn't for me sadly but I'm pretty sure they said at Build that it works for WP8.1 apps by default so they developer doesn't need to add anything. So any apps that get updated should support it. They also said it won't work for Silverlight 8.0 (current apps) and whatever the type of app games...

    Maps on SD card WP8.1

    I think it's only possible on Lumia phones - nokia have an app called Lumia Storage Check which lets you save map data on the SD so I can do it on mine - I think it must change some path details as the maps app knows where to look too. Maybe you could download this app with some proxy tricks if...

    Music and Videos Hub still accessible in WP8.1

    Has anyone seen this yet? Apparently we can still access the Music and Videos hub using NFC - I haven't had a chance to check yet but I will soon. The old Music and Video app is still hiding on Windows Phone 8.1 | WMPoweruser

    8.1 Backup is great!

    I just performed a hard reset of my phone after having 8.1 running on it for a couple of days to see if that helps the SD card issues I've been having and I can say that resetting is now a much more pleasant experience! The tile layout was remembered and it even remembered the state of the live...

    Application BackUp and Sharing

    For some reason hard resetting when you have apps on the SD card stops the phone accepting the apps when you restore it - it asks if you'd like to delete the apps that are on there from another phone before it will let you save apps to it again. I suppose this is an anti piracy feature.

    Some Apps not closing in WP8.1!

    I'm fairly sure this doesn't drain the battery. It's called tombstoning and is intentional - the app is stored in the phone's RAM so it can resume quickly when you go back to it. In this state the app isn't doing anything at all (unless it's an app that's allowed to run in the background like a...

    List here what you DO NOT like on 8.1.

    I got the US keyboard when I changed my region to get Cortana but have now deleted it so I only have the UK keyboard and Cortana still works

    WP8.1 Tips & Tricks

    Re: WP8.1: Tips and Tricks If you highlight a word and tap the shift key it will cycle between uppercase, lowercase and camel case. Not a WP8.1 feature but especially useful with the shape typing - you can tap on the number/punctuation key and slide to your desired punctuation and when you...
