You can update apps, but to update anything in OS you have to go through the slower process with cogs. Given how they are handling logistics of installing upgrades now I am not holding my breath they want to release more than 2 updates per year.

After tried this, do you think we can install next build for daily use?

Umm, on my Lumia 640XL the keyboard won't show up in landscape - not in a single app (regardless if I did a hard reset or not). In portrait everything's fine - but in landscape there's only a black area (see screenshot attached). I already tried several layouts (DE/US/EN) and sizes (smale to large). Still the same.
I've already filed a bug report via the Insider report and there are several reports about the same issue.
This seems to be an issues since 10166 (and probably before). I am using the Technical Preview since 10166.
Just search for "No Keyboard in Landscape mode" in this forum (sorry can't post links because I am below 10 posts)

No, they have two months to get it right.
I'm happy you do not work in my scheduling department!

I don't think they announced a release date yet as stuff can and will go wrong as we've seen so 'two months' is just what people are guessing.
And I am glad you don't in mine. The longer the period of a feature freeze is, the better you can test. If you allow modifications till the very end, you get what you asked for.
Let me just say this - two months or longer may be enough time to get this right. Rushing Microsoft to release a product to market that ends up being feature incomplete and buggy is not the way to go. However, if Windows is being offered as a service than we can expect regular updates?
I'd rather Microsoft get this right than to be first. Apple isn't first on everything but they manage to put it together in such a way that it is "right" for their customer base. Google relies on OEM's to put their own twist on Android, and initially that had folks wanting to get "vanilla" Android. I can tell you that early devices running Android fared better on plain Android. This was because the OS was being bastardized by the OEM's by adding too much to the already fine interface. Through the development community there were some major strides made to get the OS to feel more fluid. I still think Android could be better in that they need to optimize it for all kinds of devices. Because Apple, and only Apple, releases the iPhone they have stringent quality control. If Google was the only one to make Android handsets, I think you would see a more consistent feel across the board.
Microsoft needs to be a blend of the efforts of Google and Apple. They need to focus on a subset of devices that are true to Windows and showcase what the OS is capable of. Perhaps this is what the Lumia brand becomes, or the Surface brand gets introduced as. Let other OEM's jump on board and add their own spin, like waterproofing, specialized cameras, even specific skins, applications, etc. that are only made for those models. Maybe the Samsung models have a specific Samsung store that enables you to purchase apps written for Windows 10 or bring your Android apps over to Windows Phone. HTC could have some variant of Sense. LG could offer laser focusing on their cameras.

Yup, keyboard not present in landscape. L1320 wm10.512. Also reported via feedback app. And remember to upload your diagnostics manually if you're not in wifi. < this kinda to everyone using wm10 insider preview
Ok the build is amazing and much better than all mobile build but i have no signal since i upgraded and my phone have hit the floor so i want to test my antenna to be sure if its a software issue do you have any idea how to do it
I was able to download 15036.1004 that was published just a while ago. However, I get an error right after the "preparing update" step before restarting that prevents any further installation. Not sure if this is the error that Gabe Aul mentioned prevented future builds from installing. It's at least interesting to note that they did explicitly enable an upgrade path from 1003 to 1004, which suggests to me an upgrade may be possible. Will try a little later.
This MS article states that .1003 testers will have to use the recovery tool . . .
Installing Build 10.0.10536.1004 - Microsoft Community

Thanks, excellent find, that error is exactly the error code I'm getting. Will stick to 1003 until the next build, can't really justify flashing back now for 1004 when the only thing that was fixed was the update bug.

This proves you do not know what is going on.
Features have been frozen for a long time and no modifications are taking place.
Ok read the newer article and this is normal
Updates are available.
10.0.10514.0
10.0.10536.1000
Says you have to do both and then update again to:
10.0.10536.1004
or do a hard reset for direct upgrade
Downloading 21%
Is there anyway to cancel an update and try to recheck?
