Using Windows 10 on you main (or only) phone?

[maflynn]

Anyone using this current build on your main phone? I'll see how the next few days go using such an early beta (which I don't normally do) on my Lumia 830 phone. If all else fails, I'll pull the sim and put it in my other phone.

its neevr advised to install a preview on your only/main device. anyways good luck

I am yes, seems ok so far, better than the first preview as my 830 seems really smooth with it this time, had to remove a few apps due to them not working correctly and installing other versions.

Yes, using a 1520. If anything goes wrong, or I get tired from the bugs, just make a roll back...

 

[DCTF]

Yes, but it's a terrible idea. I'm doing it because I don't use many critical apps at the moment, only calls, email, SMS, browser and music. Since these are fairly safe bets, I was willing to take the risk. However, "safe bets" still means "risky", and I can't assume that some foul-up in a future update won't brick the thing completely.

It is possible to roll back to 8.1 if you look for links explaining how to do it, but you could just wait a few months for the proper WP10 and let chumps like me risk our sanity for you in the meantime.

Using it on my main you can say only phone since my sister uses my 625 in other country. Works and issues are negligible for me

Using on my only phone. I'm installed and I'm using for a week and I revert back to WP 8.1.

I use it now on my Lumia 1520, have Nexus 6 as second device.

You really can't turn off the data connection?

I was using it till Wednesday on my main phone.. i tried to change my sim due to some work & with 2-3 restarts got BSOD..
however, i had my backup ready & rolled back to 8.1.. probably will not install this build!!

I installed it, used it for a few hours, and went back to 8.1. The TP is still very buggy, unstable and is a very clear work in progress. I don't think it's reliable enough to be used as your only phone.

If you ask this you shouldn`t go this way....Windows 10 for Phone is very Buggy at the Moment.

I'm using it on my only Windows Phone L925, running fine, but there is an un documented bug with the Store where some apps hang on ether Downloading, Installing or Pending while others will Install fine.

I'm using this as my daily driver on a Lumia 635, with a MicroSIM-to-MiniSIM adapter and a Nokia E7 just in case something borks. It's annoying when something goes wrong, but it just seems best, if able, to test a preview during the day-to-day to get a feel for what's up with it. If something does happen, or if I need to be reliably available, I just put my SIM into another phone.

I installed on my 822. It won't let me access the settings menu, or use the cell network. It shows that there is no sim installed. How do I roll back to 8.1?

I use it on my only Device. I mainly got the W10FPTP because of the Expandable Notifications and Keyboard.

I'm strongly recommend you to NOT use Windows 10 TP on your main phone.

There are several important things not working/looking as expected...

 

[a5cent]

^ MS also recommends NOT doing so. The TP is exactly what the name implies. A preview. It's not really meant to be used on a daily basis. It's fun to play around with, but I definitely wouldn't use it as my daily driver.

Upuntil few minutes ago I was using it on my lumia 925!
It's hardly a proper beta!
Load of errors and made me go crazy!
I just re installed 8.1!
I'll wait for a proper beta!
Till then I'll enjoy GDR2
