Official Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 Discussion and Problem Solving Thread

[remmo]

Considering the amount of bugs, I think I will skip this update, at least for now. My L925 is doing great with the Cyan update, and apparently MS is having serious quality controls issues with these Developer Preview updates.

Keep looking it seems less sites for me, (youtube, wpcentral, engadget,) all load mobile sites instead of desktop

Anyone having an issue with their outlook.com contacts not syncing with the phone? This is my main MS account and what I used when I went through setup sequence after upgrade/hard reset. Mail and calendar sync just fine from same account.

FYI, apparently there is no way of going back to 8.1, already tried using the Nokia Recovery Tool and it just failed

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

Guys, all you have to do is find the Desktop option within the website and you wont have to switch again unless you clear cookies. That's the exact same behavior as before the update.

Edit: Wow, I take that back. Still reverted to m.facebook the next time. Weird.

Are you sure the Nokia software was trying to reinstall Cyan/8.1 (instead of Black/8.0)? I ask because even long after the 8.1 update was released for some models, Nokia's servers were still reporting the latest available firmware as Lumia Black when I checked many product codes.

Check what the tool says at first i.e. "You can install software version 3051.40000...." vs "3051.50009...". If the first number after the first decimal is 4 (xxxx.4xxxx), it's trying to reinstall Black or lower. If it's xxxx.5xxxx, it's trying to reinstall Cyan or higher.

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.

You are right. I have 1520 with Cyan and Update 1.
Few Issues : Phone is getting hot really fast when browsing or navigating apps. Playing game like subway surfers is making the phone really hot in 5 mins.Battery drain is bad...i was getting around 30 hours backup in day with 8.1 and cyan and today my battery died in 16 hours.
I really feel that i should have waited. Not crying over it as i know its a beta...just putting it out here about issues i faced. I dont have any issues with slow ness or what so ever when i have cyan with it FYI.
HD videos in xbox video lags when brightness is on automatic. Doesn't lag when its set to medium or high or low.Closing and opening folders fast makes the tiles disappears from folder and u need ro reboot fix that.Youtube Desktop mode is not supported which i really hate it. So i dont think for just getting live folders and having these issues now was worth it. Thinking of removing DP and moving to production version of WP 8.1 and GOD thats a lengthy process MS i know its a beta but these known issues like battery drain etc should be tested before releasing out beta as it can really harm the phones.

Is anyone on GDR1 experiencing issues when trying to install battery saver, calendar or podcasts? If so, any solutions?

Pretty much everybody..

Nice surprise this morning. I updated yesterday on my 1020 ( no cyan joy yet thanks to ATT). I last used Xbox Music prior to the update. Phone restart with update and I did another restart to get live lock screen beta to work again following the update so no apps running this morning. Get into my car and as soon as phone paired (Cadillac CUE) my music started playing automatically. Prior to update I had to start the music app and press play. Now music collection plays without the need to launch the music app on the phone.

No live tile on store

I think you will find if you use Nokia Care Suite you can go back to 8.1

Lumia 920. No problems with any of the earlier dev updates.

This one: A 1 second lag between me pressing the power button and screen appearing.

Other than that, no issues.

 

[Chris Sandiford]

When did the temperatures/weather icons disappear from the calendar weekly view?
At this update?

 

[Chris Sandiford]

No live tile on store

Likewise.

 

[lordsnow]

No problems here. It's actually much much better than the last release.
It's faster, my battery so far is lasting longer on normal usage, there's no more suddenly phone heats and the live folders are a-m-a-z-i-n-g.
Just wish we had cellular data toggle on action center on this update.

I faced the same thing for Live lock screen app, try to uninstall the app and reinstall it. Worked for me.
