I totally agree. I had no option but to do a hard reset a few months ago on my ICON 929 - Heartbreak is the word alright. But Since then I haven't had any problems on any update installs. Just problems here and there with various features that have all been fixed in subsequent builds.@swanlee - You should have tried a Hard Reset first. Might have fixed all of your problems. If you have issues with a build when other builds have worked fine a Hard Reset should be tried before anything else. I know it is a pain but we are on a Beta OS and we are supposed to be trying to help iron out the bugs. A Hard Reset has always fixed any issues that I have had on any Insider builds and I have been in the program since day one.
This is just my experience but it is worth a shot if you are having problems.
I'm sorry Cortana doesn't read messages, all other functions are awesome fast now, hope they are working on something new about istant reading.
OT: text prediction is awesome now

In Photos app, "set as background/lock screen" option is removed, any workaround for this?
I'm still having a few issues not sure if I am the only one or what but I am having the following occur after updating and then doing a hard reset, with fresh install, no restore:
1) the store still seems to be having issues with updating installed Apps.
I will do a manual check for updates, get a couple updates and then 2 minutes later go to open an App (Groove or Films&TV for ex) and be told its not up to date.
2) I am using a 1520 and have all my regional & language settings set to Canada - English but "Hey Cortana" is telling me "To use Hey Cortana, make sure your region and speech language match your current display language" which they do.
mtf1380- I had not tried with Bluetooth off because I use that to connect to my Band 2. Anyways, no difference. I do receive the alert toast message and sound effects, just not Cortana kicking in and asking to read or ignore the message.
Tried doing a soft reset (volume down + power) and the first message was read by Cortana. Hopefully this will stay. Thanks for your help everyone!
Yes that is very annoying, but workaround is simple you wil have to go to the Start and lockscreen setting page to set the desired image.
You and I must write differently. Word Flow is still a complete disaster on our Lumia 950 devices. I can never count on it getting anything more than words like "it" "you", etc. correct.
So far the only issues I have run into are:
*Instagram not launching
*Store is pretty slow
I do notice that windows boots much quicker. Anyone else notice this?
Word Flow has always worked great and is a godsend feature for me. Are you guys doing it right? Don't peck; just glide over each letter in smooth motion without lifting your finger. I don't even need to be accurate either and it recognizes the intended word for me.
