Re: Windows 10 for Phones Bugs & Defects Thread

My outlook, with 3 email accounts (MS, Gmail & IMAP) added, started crashing from yesterday. Those who are facing the similar issue can try the following steps. At least it worked for me.

1. Go to Settings > System > Storage > phone > email+messaging > manage accounts
2. Delete all excpet Microsoft account (I fear there is no direct way to add microsoft account once deleted, you will have to hard reset)
3. Add the emails again using 'add an account'
4. Give it some time to relax :smile:

All the best

Re: Windows 10 for Phones Bugs & Defects Thread

I installed the latest version last night and it was working "fine", I was receiving notifications from the outlook app and calendar
Now if I go to "Settings/Notifications and actions" those two apps are not longer there, so the phone is not giving me a notification, even at the live tile.
Odd enough I have a Band and when I get an email I do get the notification in there immediately, any idea on how to add the apps back into the notification center?
thanks

The notifications would start appearing slowly. I started seeing it under "Settings/Notifications and actions" after a day or two but have no idea why the delay. Also, the live tile notifications are not consistent. At present, looks like, outlook notifications can not be set at the lock screen.

2 remarks,

1 In the settings > wifi > manage > there is a box to keep wifi ON or OFf after screenlock
2 Switch off internet sharing before you power off your phone otherwise Wifi will not work anymore . (Know bug of this build)

i had the option turned on all the time (the wifi always on) but internet sharing still doesn't work after the screen shuts off (manually or automaticly)

Re: Windows 10 for Phones Bugs & Defects Thread

2 annoying things that I use everyday are:

Mobile hotspot stops being able to be triggered after a days use. I have to use this every day when I get in the car for work and when I leave. And, it doesn't connect if wifi is on. Wifi must be toggled off to enable hotspot. When this workaround stops working at the end of the day, I have to reboot.

Reminders stopped working for me yesterday. I used to be able to type, "remind me that break is over in 13 minutes" and it would ask to confirm and offer a button to remind or cancel. Now, inputting results in a blank white screen.

6tag no longer loads. I've also found that while multitasking alot of apps close. Or get stuck on resuming. Using the 1020 anyone else getting this?

Same here, on a 1520.

You won't find the me tile as it has been removed. The glance screen is available in the app list. If you don't see it, try hard resetting your phone....

Funny. Today I lost the "photos" app. Softreset even don't help. Storyteller also gone. Over Lumia camera and creative studio all pics are visible. Lumia 1520.

Guys, maybe a little offtopic, but for those with HEAVY BATTERY DRAIN:

I was getting ~4h of battery life on the latest build on my daily driver (L920) which rendered it almost useless. Now I've managed to get MUCH better battery life, and i'm curious if it works for other people - when I clicked in Settings -> Extras on Glance Screen, phone asked me to reboot to install the feature. I did, disabled Glance and double tap from display settings, and voila - much much better battery life (on standby it is really great).

Worth mentioning that after installing previous build, I didn't have Glance and, afaik, not even the settings for it, but after dropping my phone pretty hard I suddenly had Glance (strange, right?).

Re: Windows 10 for Phones Bugs & Defects Thread

Lol at above post. My glance is gone as well. Here is another bug I found. When using the camera on my 1020 sometimes video comes up when trying to a still shot. My work around is to exit the camera (thus at times losing the moment). Selecting multiple/single attachments in outlook mail crashes the app. (good thing is when it crashes its saved as a draft). Anyone else getting this?

Re: Windows 10 for Phones Bugs & Defects Thread

This all day!! I cannot get cellular data to work at all! I started with a Lumia 920. 3 hard resets later and I decided to move on to a Lumia 830, thinking a newer phone may work better. This phone had nothing else on it, completely wiped for 8.1 and... drum roll please... Still nothing! Fresh install, restore from backup, hard resets some more because why not - nothing works. I guess I could get a third phone out, but that just seems silly at this point. I'm all for testing out early builds of the OS, but not at the expense of my cellular connection!

The OS itself got better but I encounter a HEAVY bug and definitely have to go back to Windows Phone 8.1 until the next build Comes out.

My Lumia 635 Dual Sim isn't getting a cellular data connection anymore, even after I tried all of these steps:

- Soft reset
- Hard reset (multiple times)
- Adding Internet APN manually
- Changing to a different provider profile from the SIM Card
- Flight mode on/off

I already went back to 8.1 where cellular data immediately worked, then I updated again back to the latest Windows 10 preview and data instantly doesn't work. So even upgrading from a complete fresh 8.1 Installation the data Connection FAILS. WiFi still works, but that's not helping a lot if I'm on the go...

Any suggestions are welcome, but as for now I see not a lot of hope for fixing that one

Re: Windows 10 for Phones Bugs & Defects Thread

My handset l930 will when fully charged restart itself all the time and get stuck in boot loop heating the thing up RIDICULOUSLY hot then use all power only will it turn fully on when it's on critical battery and charging it again puts you at risk of burning yourself?

 

[AtivS8]

Re: Windows 10 for Phones Bugs & Defects Thread

Another fault is my 930 keeps trying to schedule restart no matter what my update options are (to finishing installing components) yet when you got to update or advanced options all latest updates are done and no info can be found on what it is aparantly trying to install (even pops up in notification menu occasionally, when clicked black screen before start menu reappears)????

Re: Windows 10 for Phones Bugs & Defects Thread

All these bugs (much more and much worse than the build before) forced me to go back to WP8.1. And I'm so happy I did. This morning something just hit and I looked, and realized how ugly, messy, and inconsistent WP10 is. I gave it a shot, and did enjoy it for the first week. But man is WP8.1 so much nicer! Can't see myself giving WP10 another shot, but I tried at least. Sad to see the "design" direction WP is headed, it really is one of two major reasons this will be my last Windows Phone. The other is obviously the app gap.

Re: Windows 10 for Phones Bugs & Defects Thread

I have a 1520 with the newest build,
issues, randomly the touch screen stops working, I have do a hard power down to get it to work again.
Back ground image gets distorted after a couple times coming out of lock screen.
store will not let me download apps made for devices over 512 ram, seems to think that's all I have
device does get insanely hot sometime.
sever battery drain when installing had to reinstall, battery would drain even when plugged in

Re: Windows 10 for Phones Bugs & Defects Thread

I am on my third hard reset and am "trying" to give up and rollback to 8.1 using the Windows Phone Recovery Tool (some questions/concerns on that as it's just chugging forever on "Please wait" but that's not germane here). My issues have been around apps not working ... eventually. Each rebuild has been decent out of the gate but then starts to be slower to open apps, switch apps, etc ... But more concerning, Facebook, Twitter, even Spartan seem to cause hard locks (not sure what else to call it - phone goes black but it's not shut down and is totally unresponsive - this comes around on facebook posts and twitter tweets - always requires a soft reset to get the phone back). Some things never worked; like some Settings would just kick back to the menu but that was ok as it was expected. But now, Outlook is doing the same thing where just going into Outlook sends me back to the menu screen.

As others here, I get the occasional and unexplained heating (never corresponds with a shutdown but also never really seems to make sense why it's doing it).

Phone is Lumia 928/Lumia Denim
build creation date 11/18/2014
app version 3.7.1.16

Re: Windows 10 for Phones Bugs & Defects Thread

Since a few days i got W10 mobile. But i have a problem with the "Alarm" app.

In WP8.1 i got a few alarm on. But in W10 these alarms were “gone” so i set up a few new.
These alarm makes sound on time but also my old alarms from WP8.1 makes sound and I can’t delete these because I don’t see them.

Does anyone know how I van detele these “gone” alarms?

Re: Windows 10 for Phones Bugs & Defects Thread

Lumia 830 - Since last update, my start screen doesn't want to show up. It's always "loading..." and stays black. I can shot the top menu and browse trough it, but I'm unable to see my apps and use them. I tried to reset the phone and go back to 8.1 and update it again. Is anyone had this problem and know how to fix? Is there a work around for it? My friend has the same problem with his 1020.
