What do members think about WP 8.1 so far?

[Dazzi]

P.s Jazmac I asked a few simple question because your comment did not make the slightest bit of sense -- please read it again. You then don't answer the question, but instead try use my own words against, and end your comment in an hostile way?

Furthermore, not once you agreed with me -- are you reading the same thread? All you did is give your opinion, which I agreed with part of and then all you have done is be on the offensive -- which I don't understand?

Jesus Christ the OCD bit was a joke -- over analysing too much. You seem to be rather passive-aggressive mate -- chill out.

"Funnily enough, you say you haven't even got Cyan -- which I have on my L920, by the way -- but what makes you think there will be anything extra from the preview? Or have you even got the preview on your 920?"
And I'm the hostile one. I'm out.

I'm trying to understand the OP's point about text sizes. Here's the example provided, as I see it on my L920 running Black and the PfD versions of 8.1 and GDR1:


I can't say that I see the problem. Does this screen look different on the released version with Cyan and 8.1? Or am I misunderstanding something?

Thanks!

Geezer, everybody else has contributed logical and salient points to this discussion. Yet all you have done is spewed paranoid rants, because you think it's a conspiracy against WP8. Then when I ask you to explain what you meant, because I couldn't understand what you was going on about, you then spit your dummy out.

Come on mate, seriously I know people defend people and things they love, but this is beyond a joke. Peace

Hi, have you got Cyan or the preview 8.1? I have Cyan and my text is a mess? Go to Battery saver and click on a app to see if it's the same mate. I'll try take a screenshot -- I say try because in Microsoft's wisdom they changed it to volume button instead, which I can't get to work.

As I stated in the post, I do not have Cyan yet (US AT&T L920), so I am running the preview 8.1 with the preview Update 1.

Note that if we're all looking at different things, it can be difficult to understand each other.

Agreed mate, this is why I was trying to find out what Jazmac was running before he spat his dummy out. It actually may Cyan that's doing it.

Yeah, either Cyan or maybe an install problem on your phone. I've looked at this screen any number of times since I installed the preview in April, and have never seen the jumble you describe. Can you post a screen shot of what you're seeing?

Mate it's good to hear your voice of reason, thanks -- it pee's me off when people always seem to think I hate WP8. Yes I've took a screen shot, but do you know how upload pics using the WPCentral app?

Hmm, good question. I used my PC to post my screenshot. I'm not sure if it's enabled from the app. I'll go take a look.

Okay, according to this thread I found http://forums.windowscentral.com/wpcentral-windows-phone-app-support/254557-posting-pics-wpcentral-wp8-app.html, which near as I can tell is still valid, the WPCentral app doesn't directly support uploading pics. You can manually enter a URL link to a site hosting your pic (OneDrive or whatever), or you can use another app like Tapatalk that does support it. Or you can do what I did, copy the pic to your PC and upload it to the forums on the WPCentral web page.

Cool but too bad that I'm not going to be getting it on my HTC windows phone x

Cheers mate, I'll upload both screenshots to my OneDrive when I get home, and then I'll share the url -- should be about 30 mins

I don't get spots when I look the screen but I still get spots when I eat fish.

You see that the smaller text is larger and smaller depending on which menu you are in. In the battery saver menus for apps are totally different, from say settings or Mobile + sim menus. I'm on O2 UK with Cyan. Regards

I think you have to set the pics to Shared with everybody on OneDrive before we can see them. Don'tcha just love computers? :devil:

IT'S ALIVE! LOL

Yeah, I see what you mean. Can't duplicate on my phone, which to reiterate is AT&T L920 running Black with DP 8.1 and Update 1.

Okay, folks, gauntlet time: Does anyone else get this ugliness in 8.1, with or without Cyan?
