Is WM10 ready for use on the L1020?

[Marlon Bu]

I hope with the next Update for 10586 we get the new designed Maps-App and a faster Photo-App. The other things are almost perfect right now with Windows 10 and Lumia 1020.

Crap, I just jumped into the life raft! Found out that paypal makes the credit card reader for windows, and that the 950xl is one of only a couple of phones to do full capabilities in 2 sims. Damn you MS for making that phone. ha ha ha. Back in.....

Hey guys whats the verdict for Lumia 1020 and Windows Phone 10? Here are a few questions and concerns...
Whats the best build right now?

What are the bugs?

Hows the battery life?

Are you happy browsing with edge (bug free)?

Does Lumia Camera work? Do we get the same quality?

Has anyone tried Redstone? is it worth the hassle to worik around to upgrade to redstone?

Some insight would be appreciated! Thank you

I use .164 some weeks. The one problem is Edge. This app is slow, uses a lot of battery, don't load new tabs.
I don't see any problems with Lumia Camera.
Battery. No more than day. But it's the same for me like with using WP8.1.

I had an issue with 10.0.10586.107 in that my phone would not update past this and also some noticeable performance issues, so today I bit the bullet and went down to 8.1. Re-installed the insider app and selected fast ring, but my phone will not pull down the update. Changed to slow ring and same thing. The worst thing is that my backups are for windows phone 10. I did this procedure before back in October and didn't have any issues. Any clues out there on what I'm missing?

Change the ring to slow ring.

I'm on 14295 at the moment. Only "problems" I have is search with cortana is extremly slow and the lockscreen sometimes takes a small nap before showing the keypad. But I didn't hardreset because I fear loosing GlanceScreen after reset. Waiting for new build - maybe today - and also will try this one.
Lumia Camera came back on the store after reverting the values in the registry to original ones after the update was done.

The new redstone build is pretty snappy on the 1020 actually!

How did you get the new Redstone build?

 

[Steve Adams]

How did you get the new Redstone build?

My bad, I thought 218 was redstone. sorry for my overexcitment. ha ha

 

[Strichcode]

How did you get the new Redstone build?

You can get it by applying full unlock and editing your registry to change it to the values of 950.
Search reddit for Tutorial for installing Redstone Builds on unsupported devices.

 

[milkyway]

it looks like the hack is not possoble anymore from build 14322 oneards (see xda forums)

 

[milkyway]

you can still download Redstone for the 1020 (and other unsupported phones) but you will get stuck in a reboot loop. Seems like they removed support for S4 chipsets in the newest builds

 

[Strichcode]

The same here on my L1020 - reboot loop. Jumping back to .218.

 

[milkyway]

the last hope destroyed that you could use Redstone builds on the 1020 at least through unofficial methods :unhappy:

 

[Chintan Gohel]

So it's not possible to get redstone builds now? Even on slow ring?

 

[Anamnesis]

has anyone been able to get skype video to work on a 1020 running .218 ? I always get a camera error....

Well the xda people are working away at this. Apparently the S4 chipset drivers *are* still in the cabs that are downloaded, so it may be a temporary problem with these buggy builds. Of course if MS have given up testing these builds on x20 phones, and in particular on 1020 with its unusual camera and memory configuration, we can expect more and more problems to creep in until we get something that just can't be worked around. I think we should keep bugging Gabe Aul on twitter, telling him how well the 1020 runs on Threshold, and what it would mean to the WM10 community if the former flagships could be included in Redstone. @gabeaul

or they are starting to drop now unneeded "ballast" and can maybe speed up or slim down the OS so that the offical supported phones can profit. yes, there's still some small hope but I don't think it's realistic

 

[Chintan Gohel]

Well, we have about 3 months or so until support ends for threshold builds in terms of OS updates. Lets enjoy it while it lasts :grincry:
