I keep reading conflicting reports about different phones but I have the Lumia 925 in France. Can anyone who has done the upgrade to 8.1 say for sure whether there are or aren't battery and email problems (or any other ones) on the 925?
Does it really require hard reseting everything after the installation? How much of what I lose is backed up by Windows Phone's backup utility?Sometimes Whatsapp tells me that I have to reboot my phone because the notifications aren't working well. With the battery, during the night (6-8 hours) it drains 5-7 percent along

Cool, thanks. Seems everyone over in the Developer Preview forum talks about all the problems and bugs and so on. So, I thought I'd ask people here in the 925 forum. So, then what is with all the people here at WPCentral talking about hard resetting before the update, after the update and then waiting 5 days for the battery to settle and still seeing low battery and their phones overheating?A hard reset? No. You can back up your photos, SMS, etc to OneDrive. You can back up your start screen layout, but app data isn't included yet, as far as I know.
No one can be certain that any update will work perfectly. But your phone will probably be fine, or is at least as likely to be fine as when you eventually install the 'official' update. I'd take the plunge.
There are people saying now that their phone freezes and shuts off. Anyone here notice that?

Well, look, I appreciate your input and I do agree with you to a certain extent, but crashes and overheating from the CPU being overworked aren't just bugs or problems. Those are major operational defects which threaten the durability of the phone in the long run. It's not good for the battery, the internal storage or the screen for a phone, any phone, to overheat or crash suddenly.I can't think of any software, or indeed hardware, that hasn't had some unexpected bugs or problems.
Do you have the latest update and are you trying to run Cortana in US region?I uupgrade to 8.1 and yes i got issues regarding to battery life and heating. Yes, I don't hard reset before upgrading .

But it seems like your mind was made up before you asked the question. So I'll be moving on now...
Look, man, I was asking about problems, some people said no to which I then wanted clarification because of what I had heard others say. The fact that I question that doesnt mean you should get irritated with me because I didnt take your word as gospel. So, if I had said, "cool, doing it right now!" you would have thought I was totally fine. If you dont like someones post, move on, like you said. I have very right to ask questions. Thats what a forum is for.

Ok, because I had heard that Cortana and not being on the latest update could cause problems.Yes i have latest update. I'm not using Cortana
My 520 works perfectly. My 1520 occasionally has a mind of its own after the mid May update.
I wonder what specifically it is that determines whether this thing runs well or not. Bit concerning considering this is what developers are using to test their new apps. Weird that it would cause so much inconsistency. From what I've gathered here, having Cortana "on", having Cortana using geolocation, and not resetting seem to be the things people really mention a lot but I think it's likely to be something else... who knows how many apps not yet tested for 8.1 people are using (that maybe connect online a lot for functionality) on their phones they've updated. Maybe lots of apps that get stuck in an attempting to connect cycle which drains the battery. The OS is just one program. It can't be the OS update that is causing such varied responses. It must be each individual user's phone and the app situation on them. Auto notifications, auto connect to servers, etc etc...I've not had any issues on my At&t 925. I have Cortana "on" but don't use it, and don't have it pinned to my start screen. Battery life for me is pretty much the same as pre 8.1 installation. I didn't perform a hard reset either, and everything seems to be fine.
