List here what you DO NOT like on 8.1.

I just noticed my glance screen just shows the time now, no more notifications.

Some are saying glance requires a reboot.

For the QR scanning I ended up just getting an app and pinning it.

You can no longer transfer photos to OneDrive from the photo hub - why they would remove that is beyond me.

Background tasks? That is no longer an option in settings?

And like others, i don't like how games now appear in the app list.

About background tasks, go to Battery Saver, there is the list with the apps, if you press an app that allows you to turn off the background tasks (for example facebook) it will take you to a panel with options for this specific app. The apps that allows you to turn off the background tasks have the word "allowed" below the battery usage bar. Hope it helps.

Is the option to disable wifi under lock screen gone? In that case it's a major deal breaker.

Just go into glance settings and it will prompt a restart.

They did, but I kind of like that. I always liked the WP7 look, personally.

Thanks! I guess it's a matter of taste. I am one of those who didn't like it.

Yep...just looked in Settings > Touch. I get Touch sensitivity and Double tap to wake...Nothing about the vibration anymore. Oh well...so far, that's my only complaint, and it's a tiny one

I was just poking around the settings, and had the phone check for updates...and started installing an updated touch, glance, and a few other things. After restarting, I now have no vibration on the windows buttons and notifications on my glance screen once again...

All this really makes me want to thank God that I've not been able to download this update. It also makes me reaffirm my decision to switch to Android for my next phone. Seriously, MS had already made me highly disappointed with no addition of a file manager still to the OS & now, all this nonsense makes me want to throw my Lumia away. I'm really scared at what garbage am I really getting after such a long wait. The destruction of hubs makes me want to kill those fools at MS who decided that this should be done.

You are getting Cortana and action center.....is there really anything else to talk about? Cause that's all the blogs are talking about.

 

[DaveGx]

Still can only attach photos from within an email. Disappointing that they've done little to improve the email app.

Thank you!!

My battery life on my brand 1020 was not really good before, but it is performing even worse after updating to 8.1

You can partly blame Cortana for that.

Windows Phone 8.1 doesn't seem to like Music Drop. And given how the Mac Transfer app no longer works... I'm kind of left without a way to get new music on my phone.

Don't you dare blame Cortana for anything! haha.

agreed with data icon in notification centre (I'dve thought that would be one of the obvious ones to put in there) and games in app list is also uneccesary.

 

[cadaov]

About the action center:
- If you have several notifications from one app (like Whatsapp) and you tap on one of the messages... it doesn't delete all the other notifications of whatsapp.
- When you use the "clear all" notifications, the action center should hide, but it doesn't... you have to pull up, or press back.
- there should be more options in the action center (data, nfc)
- when you press any button in the action center, it should be act as an on/off switch, not jump into the setting.

-App listing: now showing games, I liked the way it was before.
-Battery sense doesn't have a live tile
-When trying to share a picture, I don't get anymore Twitter, or other apps I have installed (6tag, wechat)
-Calendar tile still doesn't show more than one appointment.
