MS updated the Calendar overnight apparently and have broken it. I was able to add a new event in Day view by tap/holding the day but not by using the + icon. Cannot edit any events in any view now though. Just have to wait for MS to notice and fix it like all the other bugs.

Hi,

I also have the similar problem. My contacts are available in people but when I type any name i n search it appears only if it is in my last dialled list. If I further I select search on contacts it does not appear inspite of being in my list. Then I have to go to people click blue alphabet button and go through the whole list.It is absolutely annoying.

I have recently bought Lumia 630 and updated to windows 8.1.0.12397.895. Annoying update took almost 45 mins to get installed and then comes up with isse. It is my work phone, which makes it more annoying to seach for one contact out of more than 1000. :(

Nokia Lumia 925 For T-Mobile: When having headphones plugged in, when i receive a notification the right channel occasionally emits a buzzing/crackling noise, and sometimes cuts out and requires me to restart my phone.

L625 now fairly often takes 3 presses of the power button to wake up

I hear notification sounds, which would normally light up the screen for a few seconds, but nothing happens on screen

Re: Cortana has lost the Jen Taylors voice

Lumia 620 8.1 Just got the Xbox Music & Video updates. Sadly Xbox music still refuses to display correctly tagged album art so will continue to use the Music Live Tile workaround until MS can come up with a decent music player for WP.

Re: Cortana has lost the Jen Taylors voice

I've had an issue with Bluetooth and reading incoming texts since the last update to the dev preview. My phone used to read me texts and allow me to reply to them through my Prius audio system. After the last update when I get a text it almost always will cause the car audio system to dial my own phone number instead of reading the incoming message. It worked great before the last update.

Anyone else have this issue?

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

Each successive update to my phone has made the phone worse. Now, after receiving updates for the apps it just got worse. I have a Nokia Lumia 928.

1. The music player was updated today. The music player crashes when I play my mp3 files. In addition, playlists don't save sometimes.
2. Playlists - If I added a playlist, it will show in the list of playlists from the root menu. But it will not show up in the lists of playlists when I select an album then "add to...". I have to exist the app after creating the playlist for it to recognize the playlist.
3. Playlists - If select an album and do an "add to..." and select my playlist, it adds the first one. If I choose additional albums, sometimes they are saved, but if they are then my app crashes, and I lose them.
4. Bluetooth is shot. I no longer get any text speech. Voice navigation does not work in my car (I get no audio). The phone also has trouble connecting to my car's factory radio (2013 Toyota Rav4). The only audio that comes through now is voice calls (sporadically) and music (sometimes). Sometimes when I receive a call, and have not been listening to music, when the call ends, the music will start playing out of the blue. When voice navigation use to come through my car stereo, every time it chimed in to give me an update, it would then proceed to play some music track, even though I had no music playing.
5. Sometimes the screen is unresponsive and I have to soft reset the phone.
6. The phone resets now and then usually when trying to do something with audio.
7. The speech to text does not work anymore. If I go to Search, hit the little microphone, and speak into the microphone, it no longer picks up voice. However, phone calls still work fine.
8. Tethering fails often and sometimes resets the phone.
9. Apps take too long to start up.
10. The latest camera app seems to be more responsive to taking pictures, but takes longer to start up.

Somewhere inside OS there is a bug regarding battery drainage in background. Out of the blue battery went from 50% to 17% in about 60 minutes. I checked recent battery usage and I found out that core apps are eating energy like crazy in background.

Btw, is there a way to reset usage history?
