Re: [Official] Windows Phone 8.1 Bugs and Defects Thread

Interesting, I missed the step in the upgrade where it said it was required to do a Hard Reset...please point me to the documentation where it says its required.

Oh, and it's the first post on this thread, so in a way it's a requirement for this forum.. And he's a moderator, but again.. do what you want, I guess.

Sure. That documentation you can find on Bing.com. It's called "common sense" - see if you can find it. Will be a worthy read.

Change region. Language. Read forum posts and sticky and front page article explaining step by step.

The wallet app won't open. I'll click it, and nothing will happen. It's been like this ever since I updated, which is a problem because I used it all the time!

My default podcast app won't open! It's like it didn't even download or something. I just did a hard reset & it still isn't opening. Would there be a link so I can get it by any chance? Please & thank you!

No no, you're the mod who called members of the forum 'lazy' for following the process documented by Microsoft...accept responsibility for your words and labels.

Re: [Official] Windows Phone 8.1 Bugs and Defects Thread

I hugely recommend a hard reset after the install. It is always the case with Dev Preview or any WP update. A hard reset post installation will fix most of these "bugs".

I didn't do it with Amber/GRD2 nor with the Preview for Developers and GRD3 with my 810.
Microsoft doesn't say it's necessary & if you're not having issue -and I had no issue with those two updates -"always the case"
I think not, but if you're having issues, it "might" help. :wink:

Re: [Official] Windows Phone 8.1 Bugs and Defects Thread

So I performed my 3rd hard reset. This time, I chose not to turn on wifi or sign in to my Outlook account. After all was set up, I deleted all HTC apps. Turned on wifi and left the phone locked for over a half hour. Turned back on with no problems. Signed in to Outlook and locked phone for a few minutes. The problem with unlocking and wifi crashing are back.

Re: [Official] Windows Phone 8.1 Bugs and Defects Thread

I cant seem to find the + button next to the word when I type a word. When I highlight it doesnt show anything, tried swiping to the left (nothing).
Tried different apps like onenote, whatsapp,outlook etc, still nothing..
Also tried resetting custom dictionary. Has anyone seen this issue, if so how did you fix it?

The find my phone option in the settings list doesn't work, when you tap it you'll get back to the settings page.

Re: [Official] Windows Phone 8.1 Bugs and Defects Thread

I don't know if this is a bug or issue going on.
Apps are not getting automatically updated.
Any body have this problem?
When I force check for updates it says "already checking for updates"I am getting this message from last night
My wifi was on last night still none of the apps got updated.
