Developer Preview 8.1 Bugs and Defects Thread

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

The only bugs I've noticed so far:

1. Wifi keeps dropping out after about 10-15 minutes. If I don't manually reset the phone, it resets on its own after a few minutes.
2. I believe this is connected to #1, as they start happening about the same time, but the phone's power button doesn't respond when first pressed. Second press, turns on the phone, and Wifi is down.

Just curious, I've only noticed a few people reporting the Wifi issue. If you're having this issue, let me know if you're also using an HTC, or if this is happening across all devices. Also, if you are having the issue with the power button as well.

Update: I turned off the Battery Saver, and my Wifi and power button issue haven't recurred for over 15 minutes. The longest I've gone without the problem so far that I'm aware of. Gonna wait a while before turning Batter Saver back on to see if this is the root of the problem, but just a possible suggestion. Will update if anything changes.

On my 1020 Glance wasn't working for me until I went back in to Settings->Glance and it asked to install and reboot the phone. It rebooted, still wasn't working, went back in to Settings->Glance and had to turn it back on. All is well now!

Anyone else find it to be a problem that the action center shows a preview of your email when the phone is locked and it requires a password to unlock. Can this be disabled?

Everything seems to work flawlessly other than the fact that I just can't load things like "top free apps" in the store, however everything downloads and installs fine after re entering my Microsoft acct information. So far installation has been quick, and have had absolutely no problems.

In some ways I am actually glad not to have a Lumia device with all of the problems I've been hearing.

Using a T-Mobile HTC 8x.

Also to note, four column tiles works with the HTC 8x, I saw a list on this site that said it wouldn't support it. I'm sporting all four columns, but beware, tiles are super tiny as expected to be on just a 4" screen.

Good find. it's the first real design flaw noted in this thread. I agree that it is definitely a privacy concern...
If only there was a way to BUMP this post. Maybe starting a new post would garner some attention. Before long, this thread will saturated with a myriad of issues.

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

Don't know if anyone posted this yet. DO NOT soft reset your phone if it's working properly. I did it, because that's what you do in Windows PC. However, afterwards, it got stuck in a reboot loop. It would turn on, find all my settings, WiFi, cell etc. Then, it would switch to airplane mode and reboot again within a matter of 10-15 seconds. I'm Hard resetting now. Hope it fixes my issue. My phone is an Ativ S

The glance screen was supposed to come to all WP 8.1 upgradable devices.

even if that is the case, what does it have to do with an OS update? if it comes it comes from Nokia either as a separate app or as part of cyan, which isn't part of dev preview

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

I started the update a few hours ago. I got past the cogs and migration steps. I can use my phone currently, but when I go to settings/phone update, it says "installing updates". Please advise.

Lumia 1020

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

Managed to update my Lumia 920 (UK) to WP8.1. Tried installing U.S. keyboard to make Cortana work. Post download, handset seems to be stuck on spinning wheels with progress bar around 10% for nearly 30 minutes. Did a soft reset and keeping fingers crossed. Anyone else encountered this problem?

[Edit]: All that was needed was patience Everything works, including Cortana.

I had the store issue, wouldn't let me download Bing weather, I backed out went back in and it worked. Glance needs a reboot to work because it got updated, settings/glance/ reboot, profit

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

Here is my list so far!
•Top status bar always on.
•Wi-Fi in notification centre toggles on but doesn't toggle off instead goes to Wi-Fi setting screen.
•Photos in albums can't be zoomed out to scroll through photos.
•Only one data connection is shown in status bar. I.e., if both Wi-Fi and cellular data or on, only Wi-Fi symbol is shown in status bar.
•Don't like the games in the app list. Prefer if they were left alone in games hub.
•Data connection not available in quick settings in notification centre.
•Data sense shares same icon as a network icon :/
•Scrollable option for quick settings in notification centre to enable more toggles would have been great.
•Every time I open games hub, it takes a moment to update the list. Annoying as it never did like that before!
