Re: Windows 10 for Phones Bugs & Defects Thread

Have a search for "sim not recognised" or similar in the forums. Is a known issue with this build of the Technical Preview. Or roll back to 8.x
Out of interest, which handset model? I didn't think dual sim models were supported yet.

Use Windows Phone Recovery Tool. Also use a different USB Port.

Internet sharing feature is not stable. Client can connect to the phone, however after some time, the connection is disconnected and any reconnection is not possible until a reboot. Also Internet sharing via Bluetooth is not available.

L920 - have a relatively serious issue - Phone and Messaging apps not available. I still have the Messaging live tile from before which shows the last message when maximized, but leads nowhere. As for the Phone I just have People (Legacy). Sorry if this was asked before - any ideas?

Hard reset.

Re: What issues are you having with the new Win10 Build?

Everything okay with your 920..coz I want to give a try ..

​Honestly no. It was working great for the first week(aside from the sound issue), but this week had been pretty bad.

The touch input has frozen almost everyday. Once it wouldn't slide up to unlock. I had to open the camera and mess with the buttons and stuff before I could unlock it again normally. Another time the touch wasn't working in regards to menus(Volume, Action buttons on the bottom, locking and unlocking, powering off) but it was working with the start screen and mostly within apps. But then as the day went on my notifications started getting stuck(I couldn't swipe them away, and they weren't going away on their own), and made the phone almost unusable. I had to completely drain my battery before it started working correctly again.

​As of a few mins ago my 920 is now on lockdown. I unlocked my phone to check some things and hit a "resuming..." screen(nothing was open as I've been having to close apps regularly since they apparently removed the amount that can be open at once) on the start screen. This has happened a few times before, but it typically goes away in about 30secs. However, now my phone is pretty much bricked up. Buttons and touch aren't working, I can't even reset the phone.It's just been sitting there on "resuming..." for the past almost 10 mins now. I'll have to wait till it drains again and see if it fixes itself.

I'm hoping that next month sometime they'll have the first patch for the latest devices and fix most of this, but until that point it's not stable enough to risk it if you haven't already.

Re: Windows 10 for Phones Bugs & Defects Thread

Not sure if this have been answer or solved. But after upgrading to WP10. Most of my apps are not installing (ex. whatsapp, Skype, all of bing apps, the MOTION setting and a lot others).

I have hard reset at least 4 times. I'm installing to my phone and NOT my SD card. Ive tried canceling the download and re-downloading. Soft reset.

Please if anyone know how to fix this let me know. WHATSAPP is an app i use for work and its very important I have it.

Did you try and do a Hard Reset without the backup? I know that i set up W10TP on my phone the first time with a backup and a lot of apps (specifically one's that need more than 1GB of memory) weren't installing at all. After noticing this, I did another hard reset and set it up as a new device. Next, i went into the Store app and, at the bottom, there should be three dots (...) Click on it and it should say "my apps." Now, i just re-installed all the apps i had previously. No problems now.

Happened to me. Hard reset with a charger, and maybe it'll fix

So sad that you are so unlucky. Try a hard reset again.

Bricked phone is one that is like a brick and doesn't start up. If your phone is still starting up, you still have a chance to reset it back to perfect shape.

Re: Windows 10 for Phones Bugs & Defects Thread

I just updated my 1520 o WP10, and it is pretty much non-responsive... ugh. I have to soft restart it every 2-3 minutes.

- I can get to the start screen < put in my password < click on an app... but then I am stuck in the app... restart
- The background apps screen goes all green if you close all the apps, and then I am stuck... restart.
- Capacitive buttons don't work correctly... restart
- Phone goes black during a call, and I cant hang up or see anything... restart
- I flip down the notifications screen, and it wont flip back up or respond to any touch... restart
- I leave the phone on until the lock screen times out, then it wont wake back up... reset.

Needless to say, I am installing the recovery tool now.

Have you at least tried a hard reset before rolling back? It seems like it solves many of the more serious problems.

How did you install Windows Phone 10? Please help to explain the step by step process. Thanks

Re: Windows 10 for Phones Bugs & Defects Thread

Lumia 1520 unlocked Hong Kong version. I had already switched my region, language, keyboard, and speech to English US.

Firstly, when I began he Preview Install, I never saw a prompt for connecting to wifi so all my data was migrated via mobile data

1. The Lag
   My first observation was the extreme lag. This was expected because of all the background app downloads and syncing going on simultaneously. My phone was slow and as responsive as molasses for about an hour, all while overheating and killing battery life (Faster than the USB port on my laptop could charge it)
   
   
2. The heat
   
   I've owned a Lumia 920 and I'm no stranger to the overheating issues but I'm scared with the 1520 because of how thin it is, sometimes i take it out of the protective case to let it cool down. It gets so hot I can SMELL it.
   
   
3. Touchscreen calibration
   
   It's very awkward to hit keys located close to the edge of the screen.
   
   
4. Text messaging LAG
   
   After typing a message and pressing the paper plane to send, the textbox background goes grey and the typed text is stuck there. Repeated presses of the paper plane (send button) yields no result. I had to quit the application and restart it to resend the text. The same issue occured but I noticed that there is a send lag which lasts as long as 4 seconds. The message still goes through.
   
   Also the Text Message notification tone is now a regular notification tone and I have no option to change the tone back to Nokia Text tone.
   
   
5. Unable to save screenshots.
   
   At least that's the error I'm receiving after I attempt to take a screenshot. It begins with the usual "Saving tot Screenshots" then transitions to "Unable to save Screenshot" Someone else mentioned turning OneDrive off so I'll try that and report back.
   
   
6. Back Button from App list
   
   Doesn't work anymore. This has been mentioned and I've read that the Windows Key takes you back to Homescreen. Also, you can just simply swipe right. After months/years of muscle memory, that'll be kinda awkward. Minor Inconvenience.
   
   
7. Office Hub
   
   The Office app has disappeared from the Store and that disappoints me somewhat. I have a text document containing all the wifi passwords at every access point that I've connected to in order to copy and paste extra long string passwords. Since there's no more Office app, I have to access this file either through Files or OneDrive. When I tap on the text file, the icon acknowledges that it was pressed but nothing happens. No word app opens to display the document. what makes it even weirder is that every time I press the text document's icon, an instance of Microsoft word (from office) appears in the Task list but the screen is black. If I were to tap on any of those instances in Task List the the window acknowledges that it was pressed but does not open.
   
   Is there another app to replace Office (Like Outlook Mail now replaces all the other mail inboxes)?
   
   
8. Outlook Calender
   
   There is no option to display my Facebook Calender (Events and Birthdays). The only available accounts that I can connect are my Microsoft and Google accounts even though my Contacts are set with Facebook as an account and Facebook contacts show up in Contacts. I'm aware that the work around is to manually add the Facebook calendars to Outlook via a PC and I've already done that. My problem is that an imported Facebook iCalender synced with Microsoft shows me my reminders 24 hours out of sync. eg; Today (April 21st) is my birthday, and the Task corresponding to my Birthday doesn't show up till tomorrow (Wednesday). This is not specific to Windows Phone 10 because it's been happening ever since and it is an inconvenience.
   
   
9. Photo hub
   
   Photo Hub is extremely slow (8.1 Update 2 was slow as well and crashed when trying to share pics FROM (instead of TWO) inside a 3rd party app). I like that most recent pics are at the top of the screen and scrolling down goes back in time, however, only the top 3 rows of pics show visible thumbnails. All the other pics thumbnails are grey.
   
   
10. Sounds
    
    No option to change the tone/sound of text messages, IMs, and email.
    
    
11. Cortana
    
    I've read the complaints so far but i haven't had a chance to check her out (not that I utilize Cortana much anyway). I'm not sure if I have to do over changing the Speech, Language, and Keyboard languages all to English US. I'll have to check.
    
    
12. AIRPLANE MODE
    
    Airplane Mode refuse to toggle. Clicking it from the extended quick keys at the top of the screen has no result. Going ot the actual Airplane mode screen yields no result when I press the switch. The switch responds when I swipe it but once I release my finger off the screen the switch springs back to OFF mode.
    
    
13. LOCKSCREEN
    
    Bing Lockscreen is supposed to Refresh every 24 hours but sometimes the same photo remains the lock screen for days even though the caption changes on the Lock screen menu page. This has been going on since 8.1 denim.
    
    Also, the six slots at the bottom of the Lock Screen Menu are empty. Clicking on any of the plus sign slots to select an app status to display at the bottom of the lock screen opens a grey screen with a gear symbol at the top left side there is nothing on the grey screen and clicking the gear returns you to settings. Also the app to display in detail button gives rise to a one field/row drop down box which so happens to be blank.
    
    
14. Battery
    
    I still experience the same rapid discharge that I was experiencing with Denim. On the bright side, my phone charges rapidly, jumping from 36% - 84% in about 1 hour 10 minutes. I'm fully aware that the battery readings cannot be trusted but I'm also conflicted about whether the rapid discharge is a result of faulty software/firmware or if I need a new battery.
    
    
15. CALLS
    
    I've attempted to make phonecalls and I can see the Contact but at mid screen there is a grey horizontal bar cutting across the in-call contact display pic. The phone said dialing but i heard no tones. Apparently she answered twice but there was no audio or no indication that the call had even connected from my end. Upon putting my phone in my pocket I accidentally dialed someone else and that call went through.
    

I'm fully aware that this is just a preview trial for developers so I won't fuss about the bugs. In time they will all be cleared out. I'll eventually copy and paste this entire post to the Microsoft Feedback page. I'm actually looking forward to see what Windows 10 can do. I've always been a Nokia user and was skeptical about this whole Windows Phone OS but I'm a believer. I'm also fully aware that the most recommended quick 'fix' is to do a hard reset after backing up then reinstalling each app from scratch rather than utilizing backups. That will be my last resort before using the Nokia Recovery tool.

Re: Windows 10 for Phones Bugs & Defects Thread

He hit the nail on the he head with everything he said. Although Ive also noticed now that my 1520 is starting to freeze. As in I have to hold the power button down until it resets itself. Im close to going back to 8.1 I know this is a preview but its bad. I use my phone a tremendous amount and to have it this flighty. Im not sure. I wish they would start releasing fixes for these builds
