re: W10M Insider Bugs & Defects Thread
Lumia 1520
Build 10512
So far I've been loving how stable 10512 has been. Despite a few quirks like Groove randomly closing (music wasn't interrupted so nbd), I saw only improvements from prior builds and have been using the preview on my daily device (and showing it off!).
However, really major usability bug has developed and gotten worse since yesterday.
No matter what apps are using, regardless of rebooting or time since reboot, what's playing, or the hardware state (headphones plugged in/not, SD card in/not, bluetooth on/off, etc), I randomly lose the ability to touch input anything on the screen.
It's not just the lack of touch input which is the problem, and sometimes that remains-- Cortana opens up, goes straight to 'Listening' sometimes, or to the home screen other times. Her little animated circle will squish and freeze, sometimes she'll close again and take me to the zoomed out task switcher screen (as if I held the back button). Sometimes the UI will compress to the half screen as well, as though the windows button is being held.
Near as I can guess, I think the OS is registering holding the 3 hardware buttons, back/windows/search, though they are not being held.
There's no predictability, I had a random phone call take place as well, which was scary, then touch input was disabled so I couldn't cancel the call until powering off the screen, powering it on, and then I could cancel the call.
If anyone has a bandaid fix for this please let me know, I'll live without whatever feature I need to so this type of demon-possessing cortana doesn't randomly call other people on my contacts list!
Thanks forum superheroes, sorry if I missed this issue being addressed anywhere else!
