Re: Windows 10 for Phones - list of new features

Thanks for that. I do have a Onedrive account, but It's nice to be able to do it on the fly. So if I walk in the house with my headphones, I just hit the sync button and the music I'm already listening to on my headphones transfers to my Xbox and speakers.

I'd like the make receiving files via Bluetooth with one tap (accept it only once) not accept every file by its own

I want more lively live tiles active all at once and I want them to update more often.

I also want tapping on a live tile or a pop up alert, to take you to THAT story or message?

Found something which I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere. When you scroll up on the now playing screen in the music preview you get the playlist at the bottom.

Scrolling is good. Now we need some pivots/panoramas.

Why are the ellipses so tiny?

You need to do a Hard Reset to solve all this problems!

The voice recognition software on windows 10 10149 is amazing!

You can now say comma, period, question mark etc and it converts them to symbols, and the voice recognition keeps listening after each sentence so you can keep typing more sentences without having to press the button again! Wow what a huge improvement over the way windows phone 8.1 was working!

You can send via NFC. It eliminates that requesting sequence.

I found that double tap the navbar to turn off the screen is now new feature in this build.

In the latest build (10149) I noticed that we can now swipe down again from the action center to access all quick toggles (double swipe down like how it's done in Lollipop).

I just tested Digital Video Stabilization on latest Technical Preview and it works quite good - I think better when we set 720p video recording than 1080p.

Re: Windows 10 for Phones - list of new features

I can still send any file I want via bluetooth in WP8.1. but question is can I find any file received via bluetooth? Or it gets vanished as like WP8.1?

Didn't test it from mail app but from edge while downloading or saving picture you are offered to choose what service to use and where to save, if you choose to save it on device, file manager will be launched and you'll be able to browse through and save it wherever you want so I guess it will be pretty much the same with mail app...
