Me too, using Windows 10 DVD Player app. Seems related to Dolby audio as all my DVD main features are failing to play, but the trailers (which are encoded in stereo) play ok.

I was prompted with a "Samsung Update" today on CSC BTU, with PFD off. I assume this is FW 2424.15.3.2 but when I try to install it fails with error code 801882d1. Does anyone else have this problem, or know of a work round? Edit: Turns out this was a transient problem. Updated...

Thanks so much for the guide -- it's very helpful. I hadn't realized the Windows Insider App made permanent changes, even after you uninstall it. If I stay on WP8.1.1, do these changes prevent your ATIV S from being offered the new 2424.15.3.2 firmware unless you hard reset it first?

I was on CSC BTU with DP 8.10.14192.280 and overnight I received the official Samsung 8.1 FW 2424.14.9.3 I had disabled the DP before receiving the update, but I think I would have been offered it anyway. No problems to report during or post upgrade. Pleased I didn't risk flashing back to...

Hi, I'm a retired ex-developer who worked with MS server technology, but I can see all the action is now centered around mobile devices. I love what I'm learning about the WP8 platform and C#/XAML and I've started working on an educational app for children, that I'm hoping to publish later this...

Re: Samsung Ativ S 8018830f fix Did you mean error 80188308 ? I thought that error 8018830f was fixed over a month ago

As a pessimist, I'm beginning to think that DP users affected by 80188308 who are unable or unwilling to try a hard-reset / roll-back to WP8.0, have been hung out to dry. What do you think the chances are that disabling the DP option, and just waiting for an official 8.1 GDR1 upgrade, will...

I'm still getting 80188308 errors when I try to update to 8.1 GDR1 and it's affecting several different models of Nokia Lumia, plus Samsung and HTC too. From the few official Microsoft updates I've seen, there's still no indication of how far away we are from a fix. Do you have information that...

This is not the best way to encourage new devs onto the platform! Personally I'd appreciate an update that says more than 'we're working on it but have nothing else to share'. No news is even worse than bad news, like maybe it will take several weeks to fix this, or we have no plans to fix it...

I'm retrying too -- after removing US Language and Keyboard options. I'll know if this helps in around 20 minutes.

Me too, on a Samsung ATIV I8750 running 8.1 DP in the UK. Just wondering if anyone else affected by this error had switched region to US to access Cortana and then switched back to UK before the 8.1 GDR1 update?

That makes sense. I should have made it clear I was replying to ajfog's post #3 which says to hold vol up + vol down + camera + power button.

I'm confused -- how do you press volume up and volume down at the same time? The volume control is a rocker switch isn't it?

I also received this update on an unbranded, unlocked i8750 in the UK. Nothing appeared to have changed, apart from the OS version number, and Bluetooth was still crashing when paired with my car. I called Samsung Mobile support in the UK who said they had not released any software or firmware...
