Re: BUILD 10166 : BUGS Thread
Finally used 10.10166 for a day here is my bug list. This is the First version of 10 that I have used more than a few hours (past ones had too many issues for me), at least MMS works on Verizon again (that was the DEAL KILLER on 10149)
1. Using Cortana to reply to texts does not work. I will get a Notification that so and so sent a text andbut, after it prompts for a reply, it just crashes, leaving a lock screen with just the picture nothing more (soft reset didn't fix), this has happened 4 times on day 1.
2. Applications can be spotty at best, a few apps would just open then close right now, try them 3-4 times, they open up.
3. Hey Cortana does not work (says unsupported on my phone that DOES support it).
4. The Pebble notifications app WORKS but, when you bring the list of Apps, It hangs with "Loading Applist" 10166 must of changed how the app list is displayed. Application will need to be updated or all you will get is email notifications on your watch. **BIG DEAL FOR ME**
5. Camera button is spotty, If I try to use it "SOMETIMES" it will work, normally I have seen 3-4 times, then it finally works, starting Camera from the start menu starts first time with no problems.
6. Medium size tiles for email, show nothing but the account name, even though new emails come in but the live tile does not update (Exchange, Hotmail and office 365 email accounts).
7. Data connection just drops randomly, was connected one moment then No apps would get internet (feedback app seems to be working though)
8. The Verizon logon on startup does not take a full screen.
9. The new Xbox Games app, Has a option for "My Games" This only shows 3-5 games, I have about 35 Xbox live games and about 10 non-xbox live games installed, updating it or restarting it has no change here.
10. Setting an alarm (using the Alarm & Clock app) does not show the alarm ICON on the lock screen (as in past versions of Windows Phone)
11. On the Notifications pull down, time to time (seen this 2 times on day one) will show all boxes blinking, not showing status, going manually in the settings allows you to change this but, a soft reboot resolves it for a while(power off and back on resolved it).
12 Battery draining is happening, in 8.1 I can list all the apps and games that CAN run in the background, WIndows 10 Phone only allows you to adjust this for SELECT apps. There must be app or 2 causing lots back ground drain but, I am unable to find a setting to disable it.
13 Loading screen are still common, I think this is the default screen when something crashes and it tries to restart it.
14. Attempting to add a Ring tone to a Contact pops up needing an App from the store.
And this is DAY ONE(I have done a LOT of beta testing in the past). I hope battery levels out in a few days but, I am going to stick with it but, hope a lot of these issues are resolved.
If you are not having any of these issues or found a fix, I would love to hear it....
hope this helped !
This build is pretty good. An there's a lot of performance improvements, but I hope there's still many new features to be brought to Win 10. I would also like them to take away the enormous volume controls, and it gets more ridiculous when playing music.
No question, a slim down is needed, I know it's a little more finger friendly than before but, it's just too much space.
