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

Ended up having to go to ATT device support and they reflashed the phone because it wouldn't get out of the reboot/blue screen cycle. I lost all my configuration which was annoying more than catastrophic. Went home, updated to 8.1 just fine, then spent the rest of the day reloading my apps and resetting all the logins. At least I got rid of a bunch of apps/games I didn't use and get to restart fresh. :)

I've experienced some boot loops. Even aftera hard reset, the phone entered a new boot loop after a simple restart. I'm setting things for the third time here, now without using the backup. I expect that it works.

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

I updated my Nokia Lumia 620 to WP8.1dp . However, when I switched ON Narrator in "Ease of Access", my phone gave an error and now the touch has stopped responding. Also Yellow borders appear wherever I touch on the screen and I can access anything except the start screen. I have restarted my phone but the problem still persists. please help me out anyone..

Yep. I'm out of the US but I changed region to US for Cortana. Seems like since then it started to heat up.

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

I'm glad English (HK) phone language and regional format are added in WP8.1 but I've found some bugs that only affect English (HK) but not Chinese (HK) phone language.

  1. Bing Vision not available as a lens in the camera app (available in Chinese HK phone language)
  2. Music app crashes every time it's opened (works in Chinese HK phone language)
  3. Search button opens the default search engine in Internet Explorer (opens Bing app in Chinese HK phone language)

Extra:
The new Chinese Traditional Stroke keyboard's Url input scope should include .hk and .tw ccTLDs instead of .cn (PRC) where Simplified Chinese is used.

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

Battery drained 10% in 8-9 minutes when I was choosing around BG's for the start screen. Not acceptable.

Speaking of BG's, after choosing a photo from my library--> Edit --> Nokia Creative Studio --> Save. The photo is saved randomly in the "saved pictures" folder which is a big pain in the rear to find.

Is this a bug or are they sorting it by the original photo's date?

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

Uninstalling (Bing) Weather solved all my crash issues, phone wake up delays & hangs...I'll be leaving that app off my phone. My battery drain has also completely stopped, and I've had zero crashes, lock up's or wifi issues since.

Not saying it'll fix everything, but, removing that one app has make a big difference in my phone's stability.

Same here friends. I suspect there's something going on in calendar. Calendar draws from weather, Gmail, and Cortana. It could explain the gmail sync issue, cortana bugs, and weather causing freezes. Also, the lock screen when you wake up your phone has calendar information.

THE DOTS ARE CONNECTING...

Most of features are restricted to US and some other countries
Some of promised features are completely removed
