When i share apps on lumia 520 it starts an endless loading. I don't know if this happens in all windows phone 8.1 devices.

My Lumia 620 with Windows Phone 8.1 NOT BEING DETECTED BY Windows 7 64Bit and Windows 8.1 PRO. Says Device Driver not found. Before the update my pc's were detecting my Phone.

Lumia 925 in the UK with US settings for Cortana:

Windows 8 Windows Phone Modern App: I've noticed, as a couple of others have, that the Windows Phone Modern App does not show the What's On the Phone information, it only shows the Store recommendations. It also does not sync pictures etc. I've reinstalled the Windows 8 Windows Phone app but it hasn't helped.

Email: I've set up a couple of new Lumia 520s with the update but can't see the Hotmail email tile anywhere. If I try to add the Microsoft account again it says that the account is already setup up and called Hotmail. The default email icon on the Home screen opens the 'Add an Account' page. Email was not checked to see if it worked before the update. My Lumia 925 Office 365 email works fine but this was already set up before updating to WP8.1.

The update is overall a massive step up.

Today only I noticed that I forget to turnoff Bluetooth which I turned on 4 days ago. In Wp8.1 there is no way to get info about Bluetooth status...

Make Bluetooth one of the icons in the action center.

My wife and I both have a Nokia Lumia 925 with Skype. While on a phone call the Skype button is greyed out. Why????????

you have to link the contacts together to get this feature to work. link skype contact with regular phone number contact.

My whatsapp push notifications are not working though background task is enabled for Whatsapp. Soft rebooting is not helping.
Please suggest a solution.

My pictures of different folders are not showing up in photos hub. I tried to create a folder in phone memory but it did not help. It is just showing the default folders only and not showing up all the pictures that I have on my SD card. I have changed my SD card to Sandisk class 10 ultra but facing this issue. Not sure why is it so. Can anyone help?

Found another potential bug. This is probably going to be solved via a new modern app update for windows phone. When trying to share playlists to my phone from Xbox music via. usb connected to the desktop, it just sits there. No files transferred, no errors just sits there showing that its trying to sync. Also when opening the windows phone modern app, it no longer shows what is on my phone, only directs me to the store to get some apps.

Another bug is when I press the back button it doesn't work the first time. The second time it works but all my cards in the view are doubled. So 1 becomes 2 etc. Closing either one for an app closes the app. This doesn't happen all the time.

I don't know if these are bugs or my Lumia 520 is slow for 8.1, but do any of you experience these?

After opening an app and going back to the start screen, some tiles don't show anything for a few seconds then they "pop up". This affects mostly my pinned contacts.
The animation when I return to the start screen lags sometimes.

That happends on my HTC 8S sometimes.

Also found a new bug today. Im on the developer preview ever since it came out and had very little problems. But today I noticed that I havent seen any notifications for about three hours. My phone randomly lost the data connection and it didnt turn on by itself later, so when I restarted the phone later the data connection returned, and all those missed notifications started coming in.

 

[Thanzex]

probably in the contact list you wife's profile don't have any skype informations

 

[Danijel B]

Do let me know what is your finding.

I unplugged phone from charger (it was at 100%), waited for a while; WPcentral live tile updated after 20-30 min. So.... to be honest.... I have no idea what the fu.k is wrong. However, it may stop updating. Clock Hub works always, Vieather is not updating at all. I give up. MS, give us some update with bug fixes. Even better, HTC hurry up with your official 8.1 update!!!!

In addition to my previous post...

UK Lumia 925 set to US for Cortana: In IE11 on the MS Family Safety website Time limits - Curfew page. I can set curfew times in the calendar grid (the half hour segments turn blue) but I can't clear them (the half hour segments should turn white again). This previously worked in IE on WP8.0.

Aside to this error I hope that MS will one day release a fully featured (Windows/Windows Phone/Xbox) Family Safety app, perhaps for both WP and Windows.
