The Waiting Room (WP8.1 Dev Preview)

[josepmanel1983]

My 520 is doing crazy stuff right now. I can swipe to the side at the bing search and it show some news there. I never saw that before. Was I blind or is this new?

That's probably because you've changed your region to the US.

I had set it to US for months to get Local Scout. Bit it never had this new pages since today. Or I am crazy. Another possibility

I've already issues public apologies to all my friends on Facebook and followers on Twitter for what appears to be a case of "Microsoft Tourette's", because I keep randomly posting tweets and status updates that simply say:

CORTANA!!!!

I am hoping to find a cure sometime TOMORROW. :amaze: :amaze: :amaze:

 

[bradm77]

Dont forget #CORTANA!!! LOL

I live in the UK, should I change my region to US? If so how do I?

If you want to use Cortana, yeah. You can change it in Settings > Language+Region > Country/Region

Can I just change it back after the update and still have Cortana?

Also, it says "Restart phone" should I do that?

Nope, to keep Cortana in the UK like myself, it has to stay as US Region till it gets released here.

Yeah, restart your phone too, it has to apply the changes...

Oh.. So lets say once 8.1 releases tomorrow, and I change my region back UK... What would happen?

Do you mean I need to keep my region set as US until Cortana is official released next year?

Your phone would ask to be restarted and afterwards Cortana wouldn't be there

It shouldn't be that long before Cortana is released in the UK, it's the second place Cortana will land. But yes, to use Cortana your region will have to stay as US till it gets released here.

It's the 13th in Redmond...so no.

At what time will WP8.1 be available for download if it is released tomorrow?

 

[anon(5579515)]

Could time crawl any slower right now?

Most likely 10am Redmond Time...so it's just a matter of figuring time zone differences for where you live...

I work in a mobile dead zone so I'll likely be waiting until I get home from work either way...
