I don't have calendar app ._.

I cannot believe that it takes minutes to load artists. I'm trying to like this update, but it's just ... awful.

Why are people flipping because certain apps are not working?

The update JUST came out today, people? If the Facebook Beta app is not working at least give them more than 4 hours to update it.

I'm not flipping out; I was just genuinely curious. I uninstalled it for now, and moved to the updated version of the release application.

Perhaps it's my ever-so-slight southern accent, but I jokingly wanted to ask Cortana, "what does the fox say?", but she either thinks i'm saying "box" or "f*#%&". It is pretty amusing that she understands curse words though.

When I want to mute Lumia I have to use the side button.

Now how do you upload pictures to OneDrive?

Agree with a few, disagree with a few.

Long pressing the action center icons will actually toggle. I think this is the way it should be. For example I can either turn off my WiFi, or go into the settings to change hotspots.

As for the clear all. I can go back and forth on that. Maybe I went into the action center to mess with WiFi, but while I'm there I'll just clear all my notifications. I'd hate to for it to close forcing me to go back in again. But I can also see where you're coming from too.

I do get Twitter as a choice when I want to share a photo. I'm missing OneDrive, which is a shame.

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.

A bit out of topic! But whatsapp is only working on wifi and not mobile data for me since the WP8.1 update! I have to manually open the app to check when im on mobile data! Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Ha, just as I was reading this post I got a Facebook Beta notification in my Action Center. I think that's the first today for me.

Am I doing this wrong? Long pressing the WiFi icon isn't toggling the option, and it still takes me to the WiFi settings.

Is this how the people hub and the "me" tile will look like now? They are pretty much ruined as it is. Why are forced to use that terrible Facebook application instead now? If this is what it is, then they have ruined the best part of Windows Phone (for me, anyway) - that seamless integration and having everything on one place. Why did they change that?

 

[bemiquel]

You can partly blame Cortana for that.

No, because I'm spanish and I didn't enable Cortana.

Exactly. I feel like the music app is in the same shape that the Music app was in when Windows 8 first launched. Slow and buggy.

It's way worse. I feel like I'm using a cheap knock-off.

It has upgraded the country variant customizations and the phone shows again the roaming triangle even I am in my country (Spain, working with ONO, a virtual carrier). Downgrading...... I will wait for the Nokia official country variant release. GRGRGR

For 2g 3g 4g, open the sim menu inside cellular settings.
I have problems with Store now It is slow or it gives an error. (I'm in Turkey)

BTW cortana is beta. Don't expect great features.
Bing Vision is now a lens! Check lens' list!
Cortana jokes are really good! They're better than the Siri-ous iPhone!

 

[jdballard]

I missed the way which I could easily switch between silent and ring mode in the volume menu.

I agree. I do like the fact that I can easily turn vibrate off, though. Don't have to open settings.

 

[krayziehustler]

hmmm what about xbox live, i cant see my friends and their activity, mssg, and the avatar thing.

Its still in the Games Hub.

 

[bemiquel]

It seems that the store problems are not related to the OS itself. The store seems to be down in the whole Europe and part of Asia

 

[krayziehustler]

Now how do you upload pictures to OneDrive?

should still happen automatically if you have backups on.

 

[stanrogo]

My store is broken so I can't download any apps anymore - ahs anyone else had this issue?
