Microsoft stopped WP8.1 Developer Preview update for all devices.

[squire777]

In regards to the photo hub it doesn't look like something that is finished, especially since it seems to have less features than the old one. This was a fairly large update so wait till 8.1 GDRs to iron out the kinks

Those of you spreading disinformation by stating this is a beta build, listen up. This is intended to be the FINAL FEATURE LOCKED BUILD, the very same build that went RTM, what part of that are you having trouble understanding. Going forward all we will get are bug fixes, no extra features are being pushed out to handsets.

 

[neo158]

That's a bug-fix. But as I said, I'm done arguing with you.

Exactly and it only applies to those devices having that specific problem.

God knows why people are so fussy. Thank Microsoft for making this Dev Preview better than iOS 7 as a whole. Yikes! That lags so badly. And yes, if people do not think they are ready for any any kind of bug, they should stay away from Previews in the first place. This being a Preview, I, and many many other people on this forum are extremely happy with the way Microsoft has shaped this OS finally. Things look much brighter now with all the new features. So people, stop complaining and thank MS for addressing most of the demands you made on the official MS forum in 2013. This is rather a time to celebrate than to complain. Cheers!

People do need to relax....they are going to continue with updates prior to the final release....we knew this could happen. My 1520 is working well! Only issue is text messages with attachments, can't download them, otherwise, just a few hiccups that will be fixed in time.

When Windows 8 went to manufacturers, it wasn't beta. Just because it still gets patched every month doesn't mean it's a beta. When they sent Windows Phone 8.1 to manufacturers a couple weeks ago, it wasn't beta. They don't send a beta OS to manufacturers. And just like your desktop OS gets patches every second Tuesday of the month, Windows Phone 8.1 will get patches as needed.

Logic rules!

So as I'm on WP8.0 still, If I tried to update today, what would happen?

Go through the steps and let us know! Even if it says the update is available to install you can always select "not now."

As much as I want the update, I can't have it yet as I got 139 games in the games hub and want to see if that will be addressed first.

See if what will be addressed? Your games will not be deleted.

No,no. It's just the thought of my App list increasing by 139 items. I think that really needs to be looked at.

Perfect sense.

I wanna re-flash my 920 with the original rom ('cause I flashed with a Italy rom), anyone can confirm that we still can receive the update? (today)

I just got my replacement brand-spanking new L920 and I've able to download and install 8.1 DP on it. So to answer anyone's questions on whether they can/cannot update to 8.1 DP right now....

...YES you still can.

Did a fresh install so I'm ready for action

Probably the GDR3 bug fixes that end in x521.

as for the lack of hubs, read this:
Sharing is caring – How the Social Extensibility framework for Windows Phone 8.1 will make things better | Windows Phone Central
The cursor is MUCH better now in 8.1 Preview. With 8.0, I couldn't get the cursor to appear in the middle of a word to save my life. Keyboard is much more fluid now.
Did a hard reset before I upgraded. Made all the difference.
Ciao!
