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

Ok, this is weird. Long pressing the WiFi button turns it on, but when I long press to turn it off, it keeps going into the settings.... bug? Try it when it's off to see if it's not just me.

New way of quickly rebooting your phone.. Use "swipe" keyboard on Whatsapp. Great addition to the feature list

 

[jjmurphy]

Bing Vision is gone from the search button....you STUPID FREAKING IDIOTS Microsoft

Yeah, that's annoying, but you can pin the lense right?

Ok.. Part 2. This is so weird. If WiFi is off, I don't need to long press. Just tap it and it turns on. After that, my only option is to go into the settings to turn it off. So I was long pressing for no reason. Kinda annoying.

Bluetooth, on the other hand, just a tap to turn on, and a tap to turn off.

Man, i think Microsoft made a mess with Xbox Music this time, everybody (including me) complaining about it!

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

This is interesting. Perhaps the disintegration of all the social apps (eg no more Facebook chat) was done so that the apps, once updated, can "hook in" to the standard Windows Phone hubs. Example: Can't reply/like Facebook content in the People Hub until the new Facebook app comes out that allows you to do that.

If this is the case, then all of my fears are now at ease. That would be a way more flexible style of integration, because then, when the next big social network comes along, we won't have to wait for a whole OS update, just an app to be released by the company that makes it.

Or am I just in denial?

#1 Xbox music is actually worse. Just read the thread at the Microsoft tribe in the verge. Covers everything really. Especially The non-live tile and lack of recently playing. Once the app goes out of the background you lose your place of what you were playing permanently.
#2 social integration sucks now. Can't post multiple statuses anymore. Using the Microsoft made app for everything is slow and tedious.
#3 games hub disintegration puts all apps and hakes in app list. Clutter galore.
R.I.P. Hubs. You'll be missed

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

Go to Settings > Glance. It will ask to reboot. Notifications should will now work on Glance.

Now how do you upload pictures to OneDrive?

I've been going to the One Drive app and adding photos from there as I don't have my photos on auto backup.

 

[joseph3423]

EVERYONE'S ATTENTION!!!!!

-battery draining? think how much more you have used your phone today than any other day? obviously if you've been on your phone almost non stop all day the battery will drain more than with normal usage!
-Photos are still being automatically uploaded to OneDrive so everyone's statements are completely wrong.


Yes, there are a few issues, but the majority of you have been far to dramatic about it all. Calm down, maybe microsoft will issue an update to fix a couple things! If not, oh well, it's not the end of the world.


(Oh and xBox Music? It's currently the same version as with WP8, I thought it was obvious that they would update it to include previous Music Hub features and to debug)

Removal of Facebook from the messaging hub is a disaster for me. I can understand not updating it anymore, but don't take the feature away!

 

[tapehead]

I think the title-length bug from the Zune days is back, too...

"Vibrate: The Very Best of Rufus Wain" is listed under my album titles. Ughhghgghghghhghghghghghghghgh *SCREAMS*

Go to settings->glance->restart, done! Same happened to me...

I wonder if this has anything to do with FB announcing recently that in the future all FB messaging will go through the FB messenger app?

I suspect it is yes. Programmatically it must be quite difficult to update the feature, must like office, you have to update the whole OS or bits of hubs just to make small updates. Having a separate app makes total sense. I just wish they'd left it where it was and people like me who are big users of it could get by.

I still can't attach videos to an email from the new email screen... I thought this whole video thing was fixed?

Yep, that's how it's working for me too. So weird. After you mentioned it though, I think I'd rather have a long press take me to the settings, while a short press is just a toggle.

​Perhaps Microsoft is watching this thread.

 

[tapehead]

Awww. This is cute. I can't download any songs. I'm so glad I paid $100 for this!

The lack of a data connection icon in the notification center is also the first bad thing I noticed. I hope they will include it soon with some update

It looks like you can add apps to that section if they support it (I'm guessing based on the setup) so I'm sure someone will give you what you need there in short order if that's the case. I'll probably open up the IDE and look now that I am not being tormented by something I can't have anymore... (not promising such a function/app, there are plenty out there that probably just need minor updates if the feature is available).
