Is WM10 ready for use on the L1020?

[francis zver]

Still having problems... Hotspot cuts out as soon as the phone locks / screen goes off.

Not sure why I'd experience different behavior than you, but starting clean from a hard reset didn't help.

I tested doing an endless ping to google.com on my laptop and as soon as I turn off the screen it looses connection to the internet. Same as the last few builds I've tried.

Disappointing, as everything else I've tried so far looks like it's working well, except that the Store app was crashing on me occasionally, but I can live with that. The performance seems to be consistently good. Finally the Lumia camera is back as well.

You know what, maybe it's because I use Glance screen, where it's not fully off all the time. If you're okay with using Glance Screen, try giving that a shot.

Also are you doing hotspot through bluetooth or through wifi? It works on both for me, but I do switch between the two.

Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately it didn't seem to help. I had my glance on interval with always on when connected to power. I changed it to always on (even when unplugged) and also tried turning it off and it didn't seem to make any difference.

I am trying to create the access point with WiFi. I did just try bluetooth and that did seem to actually keep a connection under the lock screen, so it's nice to know that's an alternative. I still prefer wifi though, as it's a bit less finicky in setting up.

Okay yeah, I am able to reproduce the wifi issue, so it IS a pretty big problem. I've been able to do a work around by using an app that has a "dock" mode to keep the screen alive.

Hopefully they fix it in the next build.

Send them a report in the insider program. They will become aware of it then.

As lumia 1020 users, I still think wm10 isn't optimised for our phones battery wise. My battery dropped from 45% to 25% in 18 minutes while checking emails, 6tag, app updates and whatsapp. I didn't upload, only 3 emails came in, 2 app updates and scrolled through a few dozen photos. This was on wifi. Same situation on cellular. Very fast battery drain

Yep, totally agree. I can sit there and check email, Facebook, Twitter, Untapped, use Edge for browsing etc. via WiFi and my 1020 will drain 25%-30% an hour. In standby, if I am at work and it's just sitting on my desk all day, the battery might drain 15%-20% in 10 hours...

Okay im on 10586.36 now. we'll see how the battery drain goes. And I'll try screenlrss wifi hotspot too

Please keep us up to date on this one. Performance, battery, glitch wise!

 

[francis zver]

Okay so battery problem still exists, performance is smooth. And Wi-Fi hotspot problem still exists.... at least they didn't break anything?

my Lumia 1020 now on build 10586.36, all pro camera applications (i.e Lumia Camera, Lumia Panorama, Lumia Selfie, Lumia Refocus, Nokia Smart Cam) is working well,.. no heating, battery life pretty good for my daily use average 10-12 hours,

Nice, i have the same experience. When you were on win8.1 did you still get 10-12 hours?

 

[Steve Adams]

What about overall smoothness etc. Is it as good as 8.1 now?

I find itvery smooth, sometimes a little slow. I hope the slowness disappears after they remove the debugging code
.
Apps mostly run smooth
Switching between apps runs smooth
Internet browsing ymmv depending on page
Slowness more noticable when switching in nd out of typing mode
Battery life till blows , I permanently have it in the extended battery camera case right now

But the camera launches super fast lol

for almost 1 year with WP 8.1 battery life is seems like no different

for my devices which I always touch smoothly, the smoothness is exited me, also super sensitive touch is pretty well, when I used it inside the freezer room as calculator and torch, of course I wear gloves cloth.

I had a 1020 about a year and a half ago but got rid of it. I've used a couple phones since then, most recently an LG G3. There were a few events lately where the G3 took horrible looking low-light photos so I decided to come back to a 1020 (I don't like carrying around an extra camera)

I installed windows 10 am running 10.0.10586.36. it's mostly fine. some lag when launching apps and stuff but my main concern is the video. The amount of noise is insane. Does anyone else have this problem? i looked at videos from when i was running 8.1 in similiar, or even darker lighting conditions and it never looked so bad as with this new build.

Are you using the lumia camera app or the Microsoft Camera app to do the videos?

Generic question to this thread of people using the Win 10 builds, how much was your battery life with Win 8.1 and what does it show now for Win 10?

 

[ramiusm]

With 8.1, my 1020 averaged 7hrs on 3G mode (GSM) under heavy usage. With W10 (10.0.10586.36), I'm getting 4 to 5hrs on 3G mode (GSM) under heavy usage.

Battery drain is quicker on this build especially when you use internet, irrespective of whether it is 2G or 3G or LTE or WiFi. I've noticed drains of 1% per minute when on internet such as 6tag or whatsapp

But on camera it's normal. I can take about 240 shots while battery goes from 100% to 20% and location is on which is what I used to get on 8.1 though in 8.1 I could get a few dozen more shots but my battery is getting old

So, I am guessing edge is as power hungry in w10m as it is in w10.

I don't use Edge at all, I use UC browser only and not more than 30 accumulated minutes in a day
