Official Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 Discussion and Problem Solving Thread

[TheWenisKing]

Things were going fine until I updated to the GDR1 on my Lumia 620. My phone is a little more laggy and, at least one point, the vibrate on my keys were unresponsive. It froze a few times as well.

Just waiting on Cricket to finish testing Cyan here in the US. My hopes are that the official 8.1 release with the Nokia firmware will get this phone running as smoothly as it did on WP 8.0 with the same battery longevity.

Has anyone noticed the internal storage increasing after the update 1.... System storage shows just about 4.5gigabytes....

My record was 9 hours & now this is too much. I guess downgrade helped my phone alot.

Actually after downgrading...everythings starts afresh..so conflicts are not likely to appear and the OS runs smoothly I also had to downgrade and like you also experienced this!

I have done a hard reset now and it is worse than it was before. Now I am seeing the issue on photos and other images. Also, it is VERY slow now. Start screen can take 60+ seconds to update very laggy. I am assuming at this point it may be due to the restore of my backup and synching my accounts. I am giving it some time.

I know the answer to this but have to ask anyway, is there any way to remove Update 1 from the phone and just go back to 8.1?

Thanks,

... actually YES but very indirectly

flash an 8.0 ROM to the phone & then upgrade to Cyan (or wait for Cyan to be available for your device s/b soon.).

How do I downgrade to 8.0?

Download Nokia Software Recovery Tool, is a one click app, it will restore you device to 8.0.

For all those unable to get 8.1 Update on an unlocked Samsung ATIV S running the dev preview, do a hard reset. It worked for,me. After trying and failing to update 4-6 times, I bit the bullet, backed up my phone, did a hard reset. Once that was done, I downloaded the Dev Preview app and re-registered the device. Then lastly, I checked for,the update. Sure enough, the update downloaded and installed perfectly. Cheers.

After update my Lumia 1520 turns hot after a few minutes of use (whats app, line, facebook, no games) and the performance now is really poor including the battery life. Any solution?? i think is a bug in the update =(

seems Project My Screen not work after Update 1....

i posted a question about this in the Lumia Icon section yesterday (>>>Here<<<), but it just seems to be over looked.
So I don?t know if this should be listed as a new feature of update 1, or is this a "problem" that should be addressed.

Can't record video anymore in Nokia Camera app after updating to GDR1 on my Lumia 930. It does work in the MIcrosoft Camera app... Tried re-installing the app but no luck. Anyone else had this issue and/or found a solution?
