MS released WM10 to Lumia 822

[bucfan11]

I reset my 822 a long time ago as I was going to sell it but never did. I puled it out to give to my daughter. I turned it on and had to go through the setup routine. There is no SIM card in the phone. Once it was set up I went to update to grab 8.1. It is showing WM10 .29 version. I'm downloading it now. Anyone know why this phone is getting WM10? NO insider...nothing installed. It is a clean install of 8. I never logged into my account.

Hmm. I'm going to dig mine out of the office drawer, charge it up, and see what happens.

Screenshots?

This is interesting. You have never used it on Insider?

I don't believe it has ever been on insider but it may have been at one time. It was a clean install and I have not created an account or signed into mine on it yet.

Hmmm. I'd have guessed you'd be given a choice to update to a "production" build of W10M. And if it is a production build, it'd be later than .29. But who knows? Interesting. Keep us posted.

The screenshot clearly shows you're already on Windows 10 Mobile.

Interesting. Why do you say that?

While installing WM10 I got a "sad face" on my phone and it started rebooting, installing, sad face, rebooting. I had to use device recovery. I'm back to 8.1 now. It is installing critical updates but not WM10. I'm not sure what was going on there. If I had been on "insiders" but reset the phone, I don't think it would install WM10...and if it did would it not install .63 instead of .29.

A factory reset does not roll back the operating system. If the phone was on an Insider build and you reset it, it is still on that build.

Compare the battery icon of wp8.1 and w10m

The battery icon? How about comparing the whole screen? Go look up the WP 8.1 update screen and see if that's what it looks like.
