Developer Preview 8.1 Bugs and Defects Thread

[yellowspark007]

I would like to kick the developers of XBox music for degrading their standard. I told my friends that Lumia is best and they bought 630. But now they blame me that it didn't even have a good music player.... Really disappointing.... MICROSOFT DOESN'T LISTEN TO ITS USERS.... SORRY

For me x box music app is passable as I listen only to local songs stored in my SD card.anyway am from India no x box music service for us.

You got location turned on also?

yes location is ON, whenever I try to do this it says, make sure Cortana is ON and to check of battery saver is not saving battery, but I never use battery saver, so no issues with that..first time I did set up quiet hrs it worked now not working..

been using 8.1 for a week now and so far so good, only a few little niggles'. When using the flashlight, with the camera or a third party app like torch, the phone intermittently reboots, IE11 froze when opening a favorite on a new tab, also power hungry apps, such as Facebook and moliplayer pro, the battery drains very fast, from a full charge to basically empty in only a few hours, maybe 3 at the most...

Otherwise very good indeed, Windows Phone 8.1 is truly the most personalisable smartphone currently available (imo)

Samsung Ativ S (New Zealand)
OS: 8.10.12397.895

Notification Center does not open blocked calls/sms when I see a notification that says 1 call/sms has bene blocked.
I think this will work with Cyan update since call/sms blocking feature is provided by Nokia. So, this should be fixed with firmware update I believe.
Let me know if it has nothing to do with firmware update and can be fixed now.
Thanks!

It shouldn't be "passable", it should be great!, reviewers from The Verge or Engadget used to praise the zune music player from WP7 so it should be better on the next versions... Microsoft should learn a bit from the "if it works, don't change it" philosophy...

Not sure if this is a bug but swype is only available on the phone native language.

 

[Chris Wayne2]

Nope it's not, I have both spanish and english keyboards and swype works just fine on both, maybe you need to download additional language packages.

When plugging in my phone to my pc via USB, it sometimes takes several unpluggings and re-pluggings to be properly detected.

All the time its really annoying. It happens when I watch any videos using internet explorer.

New bug: I was watching a video the other day on MetroTube and suddenly the screen froze and I was unable to use or turn off the phone. Having a 920 the problem is that you can't remove the battery so I had to wait 3 hours 'till the battery finally died.

Yesterday I was browsing youtube using IE and when I played a video the screen was like all static (like old tvs) but instead of little dots moving around the screen the image was completely static. The difference this time was that the phone was still usable under that ugly static screen. Again I had to wait till it died.

I have encountered multiple bugs on my ATIV S T899m:

?Phone freezes on lock screen if i were to leave it alone for a while such as when i go to bed
?Images in web pages tend to cause an appearance of a black square covering most of the page
?IE11 sometimes crashes if I were to browse forums (ex. wpcentral forums, Xboxachievements forums)

This issues appeared shortly after the recent WP 8.1 update and as for hard resets, I'm on my 8th reset so ill just wait until a FW update now.

As for the reset notification sound, i actually had to manually go to the notification settings and change them to what i want to avoid having the default sound on all my notifications.

IE is freezing (webpage is stuck, cant move around) more frequently now over the last few weeks, need to kill app (hold back and swipe down) and reopen for it to work.

Wifi only sometimes autoconnects, both at work and home. Never had this issue a few weeks ago.

I think that shows location service.
