Re: Initial thoughts on Developer Preview of WP8.1
So, It has been a week or so since I installed WP 8.1 on my Lumia 1520.
Here's my highlights:
- A little bit faster, noticeably
- Update improved pixel density so some screen elements look smaller (and prettier), keyboard, for instance
- Manual update apps within the Store app
- Syncing across devices
What I do not like:
- Sure, it's not called "Preview" with no reason, but, often I occur battery drain issue (15% in less than 30 minutes, in standby). The issue is caused by some stuck background process(es), I am not sure which one(s). Restarting the phone knows to do a trick and stops battery drain, but than appears again from time to time.
- Once set, shuffle option in Music player resets to null anytime music player reopens (I've got the same issue on WP8 as well)
- People hub integration requires FB app to be installed in order to link FB account (I really miss this feature from WP8)
- p.s. Furthermore, maybe "What I do not like" is not the best expression, but, I guess you've been taking my meaning
