Official Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 Discussion and Problem Solving Thread

IE still displays zoomed-in photos that extend off the side on the Facebook mobile site. Baby steps, I suppose.

So far so good.. But found some lags when switching to light theme. Sometimes the response time for many apps are too low. When I unlock the phone, a white screen flash for a second before the Live Lock screen shows up!!

One annoying change with Update 1 I've noticed is that I can no longer search or even go to bing.com in IE without it opening Cortana instead. That's fine in most cases but I much prefer the browser layout for image & video search.

Is there any way to suppress this behavior?

Some findings beyond the more obvious things like live folders:

1) IE finally shows desktop mode on sites when it is set to desktop view. Previously many sites redirected to a mobile version. User Agent spoofing ftw. so to say.

2) more importantly: VPN now supports L2TP with IPSec additionally to the previously available but not as commonly used IKEv2

Any other findings?

Nope desktop mode still not working, try both www.facebook.com and www.twitter.com and both get redirected to mobile site even on desktop mode, the mobile mode also does the exact same thing. What is the point of the setting when the websites return the same site.

I am guessing its a user agent issue which sites have to take care, but this worked perfectly when i used WP 8.0

Just tried it, you're right. But it's working for more sites than before the update.

I noticed this also. Had to change to all from favorites in pic live tile setting. Would prefer using my fave, but for now this seems to work.

I realised it is showing pictures that are in the BACKGROUND folder which is not visible from photos hub. The background photos are visible from start+theme in the setting

So the bug is Backgrounds folder is not visible in the Photos hub

Re: Official Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 Discussion nd Problem Solving Thread

Any way to change the user agent string in IE myself after the update? Or is that just something the browser does on its own behind the scenes?

Yes unfortunately behind the scenes, its frustrating as some sites are not working properly and some are throwing the mobile site even in desktop mode

Two random reboots since upgrading to Update 1 - anyone else?

Downgraded to 8.0 via Nokia Software, restored from backup and upgraded to Cyan, then Update 1.

Hello all.
I have a Lumia 930. Already Cyan.
Will I lose Cyan if I upgrade to GDR1 ? Will Bluetooth 4.0 still be enabled ? Sensorcore ? Living images?
