I have soft reset the phone. Haven't reset my Band. Had been contemplating resetting the Band, as the sleep mode did not work at all the other night. I hate the idea of resetting the Band just for the sleep function, and risk making something else break.

Sorry, i just meant simply turning the band off and then on again. I didn't do a full reset.

Oh, gotcha. Yeah I've turned it off and on. I just turned off the sleep tile in the Health app.
The other thing I think it off, is the "calorie burned" tracking. It shows a considerable difference compared to what the FatSecret app says I burned. Example, tonight I lifted weights for 56:00. Band says I burned 82 cal. FatSecret says I burned 488.

I was able to force the upgrade today by ensuring that my Icon was on the Insider's Preview Ring. Need to play with it some more to see if I like it, but so far, so good.

Ok, I'm on Release Preview, OS build 10.0.14393.82
This has been the worst build, performance-wise, for me yet. What did we have right before this, TH2? My Icon was so much more....I don't know how to describe it. All my apps seemed to work so much better, notifications were spot on with my Band 2 with TH2.
I do enjoy the new features, but I'm not sure if I enjoy them this much.

I'm on the same build. I took the Verizon update first, but didn't want to wait for their slow *** so I'm now on the same build you are. It's my first time on an insider build and I went for the slowest ring. So far the worst thing seems to be FB. It's laggy and buggy. But if that's the worst of it and it seems to be, I'll just use my 928 for it. I see FB dis out of Beta, but it still sucks and doesn't fit my screen correctly. Hey Cortana works everytime, which I love and wifi hooks up in seconds. Battery life still could be better, but I can get through a good part of the day and have a juice pack when needed. All in all, I'm all in on this and look forward to each update!

I really hoped I would see an update today since it's been a week since the non-carrier branded phones got it.
I thought part of the deal with Windows 10 is that Microsoft could push the updates instead of waiting for carriers, but here we are waiting for the official update to come from Verizon again like always? Did I misunderstand that?

yep, it's there now. I'm on Straight Talk using a Verizon SIM, so I assume that means it's out on Verizon phones.
On Verizon and got pushed an UPDATE this afternoon in Silicon Valley ... seemed "faster" and now says 14393.67 which is AU right? I am NOT on insider and I am positive "the previous" was the old numbers (xxx586xxx as best recall) as I am on Insider for Windows 10 (non-mobile and lots of updates recently).
My entire "Start screen LOOKs the same" - the setting gear "disappeared" and I had to re-pin it. LOTS of "pending DLs".
Will play more this evening and watch "battery drain, etc." although I have never had that problem on my Icons.

Updated yest, still reviewing new features of 1607. Seems just as fast on Icon, action center gives more useful info. Cortana works better, more responsive when waking. Still evaluating battery life...

The icon is definately a little faster/snappier. Battery life does not seem to be any better for me at all....with stand-by being my gauge right now as my sim is being used in another phone.
BIG BUMMER......lost the FM radio!!! :angry:

My Icon updated to 14393.67 and I have encountered all the problems that people have written about, Bluetooth problems, Cortana problems, Setting live tile gone, FM Radio gone. It seems like Bluetooth "fixes" itself after the first failed try, Cortana "fixed" it's self after I opened it from the All Apps screen. I also noticed there's more options in Settings, in fact the update seems to have gave permission for some apps that I had limited permission on, something to check out as it can drain the battery, or if you are concerned about security.
Wow, thanks for pointing that out - ALL Apps are switched to "ALLOW Background" under "Privacy > Background Apps" ... and, as you reported "lots" of new settings to look through.
Is there any "user manual"?

Lol ... well, thank you again for finding the "ALL Background Apps are ON by default". Since early June, when I first went on "tech Preview - Official Verizon release", I have NEVER had an "battery drain issues" UNTIL latest 14393.67 and just turned OFF nearly all background apps but most important. I will know overt he next 24 hours if that makes a difference/

lol.
I assume, like when Win 10 first came out, each month updates and fixes will be released eventually making Win10 mobile pretty stable. Shouldn't be that way, but, that is the way it is.

I don't think we are in that mode as Windows 10 Mobile IS my daily driver and has "performed flawlessly" with now 5 OTA "Push upgrades" since "early June".
Windows 10 Mobile on my several Icons are "VERY stable"! Yes, the "settings menu" is apparently brand new and lots of new stuff to figure out ... but, the Lumia Icon IS my favorite Phone EVER!
Everyone will have an opinion ... but, nearly 100% perfect fro our uses!
WOW, I think you found a "hornet's nest" under the new "Settings > Privacy"! There are 19 SETTINGS and each one DEFAULTS to ALL APPS! Background is simple to understand but the others are a bit scary as they propose to allow "APPS" to do a lot of things that I sure would like Microsoft to "explain WHY" the default is ON?
