In Bing Sports I can add a Football League club to my favourite clubs list, so disappointed that Cortana UK only has EPL so far.

Does any one know how to get the photos that appear on the live tile of the photos app after updating the phone they are not in the backgrounds folder

Twitter app crashes after updating update 1 in my lumia 520. Any solution ??

Twitter and messenger are not working after gdr-1 update. Just uninstall and reinstall those. Those worked after reinstalling.

The WPCentral Live Tile doesn't work anymore! Tried to re-enable it, then it force closes

My all apps are working fine on Lumia 1020

Anyone having issues with store live tile, set region to USA, restart phone. Disable and enable live tile, then set region back to the original one and restart again.
That fixed the tile issue for me, I tired the toggle on off several times, that didn't work for me.

My live tile for the store doesn't do anything but showing the store logo. NL Nokia Lumia 520.

I tried to disable and enable the tile, reset my phone to factory.

Anyone any suggestions please??!!

Wtf is going on with the photos tile?, it displays pictures I don't have on my phone

Just head into SETTINGS > *Swipe to APPLICATIONS* > PHOTOS+CAMERA and hit "shuffle now". Do note that it may take a few seconds for the changes to take effect (as with changing the favorite photos). Head back to your start screen and open your photos hub to "hasten" the changes. That worked for me.

Anyone else getting odd behaviour in IE? For example when I click on a forum link on this forum it doesn't register I have clicked anything but still opens the link.

Lumia 930

IE seems to be buggy. For me pages are taking looong time to laod.

Lumia 822 unlocked in India

So now that this is installed how do we get to Cyan?

I'm loving the live folders!! It's so smooth and quick! Making a folder with your games is 10 times quicker and easier than using the failure xbox tile!

I thought that I'd add that on my 1020. I haven't tried too much. However I can't open whatsapp, here maps,ms maps. They just crash on loading. If I have to restart and lose my messages,I think I'm done with windows phone.

Does anybody know where the new default thumbnails are coming from for the live tile? They look awesome, I figured they'd be shiny new backgrounds that come with the update, but can't find them anywhere on the phone. They look super sweet. Anybody?



Edit: it's the tile called 'Valokuvat'

They're either the pictures saved in the Samples folder or backgrounds folder. I think both are system folders, hence not accessible from anywhere. I had the photos tile show these pictures as well, after I performed the update, but going into the photos hub, swiping over to my favorites and closing the app again triggered the photos hub to show my favorite pictures again.

Set location to USA ->Reboot, enable live tile, set back to original location. Voila.

I looked into the samples folder with file manager and into the backgrounds folder by choosing a wallpaper, they just aren't anywhere to be found. I'm confused.

Edit: I don't have an issue with the tile not showing my pictures, I know it just needs to refresh to show them. I just really want to see these new mysterious wallpapers we were given a glimpse of.

Quick opinion on the last Beta.
- No significant increases in speed in my 1520.
- Merging tiles is finally decent and more interactive. I have already managed to save about 50% of space on my display.
- Phone network is weaker, so weak in areas where i had full coverage before now i have just one or two bars.
- Battery died real quick (some may advise a hard reset at this stage).

Will test a bit more later on...it's recharging.

I have the 1520 as well and the battery drain is pretty bad. In the past turning off the wifi fixed it for me but not this time. Let me know what you find. I may try to remove the folder apps since that is really the only "new" feature I have tried.
