I'm having battery and heating issues now!

Letting the phone settle for a while yet.

Done the update ...lets see how the battery behaves.

In curious of the changes... Lets see what people notice.

Scratch that phone battery and heating issue is a lot less! Can play asphalt now with little/moderate heating! Phone doesn't heat as much as it used to :excited:

Maybe placebo, but my battery has been better after the latest update.

Mine too....and it seems a little smoother scrolling through things as well....not any faster though.....lol

How many approximate size needed in this update ?

How many approximate size needed in this update ?

Not sure, but I downloaded it very quickly, few seconds probably.

 

[Timothy Rock]

I agree it downloaded quickly

Can't honestly say I've noticed any real difference. However my gripe list at this point is fairly small in that my WiFi occasionally goes brain dead and Touch/Scroll could still be improved just a tiny bit.

As for size, Ironically MS doesn't list download size when grabbing the update (unlike when it updates an app for example), but downloading the update on a 1520, 1020, and 822 all occurred pretty quick, just a couple of minutes really.

Wifi dead many times and touch/scroll problem is really annoying on sucha high end phone

My 1520 won't download update. It says it's up to date. I have build 8.10.12393.890.
My 920 jumped right on the update. Weird.

Hi All,
My lumia randomly turns on the camera from time to time after this update, at first I thought i pressed the button but after two days its some software bug where the camera randomly turns on, any way to fix this.
Thnx

My battery is better. No...wait...worse. No better. Oh, maybe the same. But it's slower now. Not as buttery. Nevermind, now it's more butteryer.

 

[Lumia Jack]

I'm still experiencing some WiFi drops to "Limited" status after the update. This was introduced to my phone after the previous update. Hasn't been long enough to say if it's more or less frequent, but I'd lean towards less.

Phone stays warmish... Got really hot earlier and guzzles a lot more battery, what is it with these half baked phones these days?

Don't mean to complain or give any company the edge but in my opinion hardly anyone makes a device ready for the consumer... Apple probably did do this until Jobs died but take for example the PS4, needed updating on day of purchase, I could go on... Why cant companies ensure its consumer ready and mainly bug free?

I know I am on developer preview but that still doesn't excuse the face when I briefly had 920 it was going through minor issues

Truth is I'm really torn on the whole touch/scroll issue. It's improved a lot for me as each update has occurred and while I still get an occasional "unintended app launch event" objectively it is getting harder to say if it is occurring significantly more than say, on my Lumia 822 or my Surface RT.

The WifFi issue is beginning to annoy me as it does indeed seem to have been something that was introduced a couple of builds back and it's not getting any better. BUT that is the price of playing with Beta Software. If I'm still seeing it when the Nokia Official Cyan Release Build comes out then I'll be officially put out.
