I use my phone for 3 main things: Texting, music, and photos. The new music and photos app are atrocities. I really despise the automatically chosen artist images in the new music app. I had previously used only high quality high definition photos from my own sources. Now they are showing low res crap in my face. Here are a list of all the gripes I found in a mere 20 minutes:
Music album live tiles stopped working
Repinned music albums now show album title text (looks ugly)
HTC app clock no longer updates on Live Tile
Photo app not displaying some photos, they show up grey where before they all displayed fine ("Can't get picture. Try again later." though picture is on SD Card)
Photo app doesn't use favorites as a album background anymore
Random reboots
Wifi spontaneously stopped working with message "Can't do this right now. Try again in a little while."
Turned off automatic app updates multiple times, did not take effect
Turned off grouping photos by date and location, did not take effect
Phone takes significantly longer to wake up
Sometimes waking the phone flashes the last screen being displayed before showing the lock screen
Games now listed in regular apps list
Games tiles no longer a live tile
Music tile no longer a live tile
Music app no longer has recently played/added
Order of music played from an artist tile is alphabetical by album instead of song title
Music app is picking it's own (Awful) artist photos, even when I had ones chosen with MPAtool alreadyhttp://forums.windowscentral.com/editpost.php?p=2465343&do=editpost
Phone is now overall much more sluggish
Cortana keeps popping up randomly
Here is the most egregious offense: Wifi is crashing every time the phone falls asleep and will not come back on. A reboot is required to get wifi working again. This is completely unacceptable. The phone is not even usable in this state!
