Who's got build 10581? How's it working for you?

[jasonprahl]

Installed on HTC One M8 from Windows 8.1
Install took about 45 minutes. There was a period where the screen was totally black for about 3 or 4 minutes. Freaked me out. Found out later from Gabe Aul's blog post that it is expected from this build. After install it's running beautifully. Can't speak to battery life yet since I've only had it running for a couple of hours so far. All of my apps seem to be working perfectly. I haven't done a hard reset. Loving this build so far.

Has anyone noticed that the navigation bar does not go away when swiping up from the bottom on some of the apps?
Had this on the previous build but was expecting it to be taken care in the current build.

Just found out that mine 640 has the same issue :-( annoying!

Is this build faster than 10549? Can be used as a daily driver on a lumia 535?

3 more noticeable issues with the HTC One M8:

1) Take a picture and the camera freezes the pic on the screen. Cannot get back to camera for another picture unless you exit and re-open or view the pic from the small icon in the top left of the screen then close it. Anyone know how to resolve this? It did this in the last build as well. HTC Camera works fine but you cannot pin this one to the start screen. The option is greyed out. (After a hard reset, camera app is still freezing.)

2) When selecting pictures from the library for a SMS - sometimes it does not select the one you tap on. Example: I click the top left pic and it selects the next row down center pic. A reboot fixes that quite annoying. (After hard reset this has not happened yet - will keep an eye on it.)

3) Flashlight from the action center works sometimes. Other times it just flashes on then off.
(After hard reset seems to be working fine.)

Battery life seems only minorly improved with this build. My phone is only lasting about 2/3 the day without needing a charge. On 8.1 it lasted all day. On the last build of Win 10 it didn't last 1/2 the day. (I use the phone as a phone more than anything else.)

Mobile Hot Spot works just fine.

I'm going to try a hard reset since these seem to have been in the last build as well. Let's see how it goes.
After hard reset - camera still freezes. Will keep an eye on battery life. See other notes for hard reset above.

It is faster though and looks like an effect.

They have corrected also the weird scrolling thing

Does anyone know if we are ever going to get quiet hours back?

Upgrading from 8.1 to 10 and it runs much smoother. Although the text is sometimes easier to read on 8.1 (bolder and/or larger).
However, I have an annoying issue. I keep on getting wifi notifications, is there some way to turn these of? It's not showing in the notification center settings.

the wifi is set to turn automaticaly on after one hour
set that to turn manually

Which weird scrolling thing?

 

[Paolo Ferrazza]

In a team?
.

Ehm...yes. In a team which operates in an around 500 person building which is part of around 350K employees enterprise

Why the question?

@Petru Moldovan: It was never questioned, but thanks for another explanation about that it is faster to resume an already open process than to reinitialize it... The only concern is this:

If the OS needs that memory it will eventually get rid of that process

If I can help the OS to collect the garbage and prefer to keep actively used content, why shouldn't I do so?

It feels very nice, but I can't select a SMS ringtone for a contact. It shows the dialog but I only see phone ringtones. If I go to select a default ringtone, I get the right list but not for a contact. Anyone else seeing this? This bug has been there ever since they added customized ringtone for a contact.

 

[Amit Kinger]

Tried to update to 10581 Fast Ring from 10536 but got sad smiley on my 1520 and now nothing happening. Can anyone please tell me what to do. WDRT is not recognizing the phone, have tried for last 2 hours.

Thanks!

I have no complains about the new build on my lumia icon, the only thing that i hate is that after resetting my phone Touchscreen Wont work not even the input buttons under the screen only the volume, power and camera keys.. i have to soft reset my phone around three times to make it work. :/

What i've also noiticed on 1020 is that the Messaging app crashes at times. When i am dialing a number ,there's a hiccup for a second between the 1st and the 2nd number pressed which is kind of irritating. I agree to the rest of the things you said. It's snappy and stable.

L1320. Couldn't 'upgrade' from previous version, had to roll back to 8.1. Yes, I know I'm on an 'older' device, but previous preview ran really well on. This one constantly freezes on the start screen. Can still operate using Bluetooth, which is strange! I have had to reset twice this evening. Also, as in last build, Cortana incredibly slow to read text messages and doesn't update flight info, news etc. It's fine after a reset for a few minutes then the expanding circles stop. Maybe it's a firmware issue, after all, I doubt these are device specific. Let's hope things improve further. In the meantime, back to the old faithful 8.1. Shame as I liked the way things are going.

Same here (Lumia 1320) with the start screen freezing issue.

I hope the 1320 will be focused on later in fixing this issue.

Anyone having issues of not being able to create app folders on the start screen? Drag and drop isnt working for me but it used to before

It seems to only be for WP8 apps. I'm guessing because they didn't draw properly when a phone has a swipe to hide navbar, so in this build MS are reporting the full size of the screen as actual size minus navbar to get around the problem. UWP apps still let you swipe to hide.

Battery life is also looking good so far. I'm really liking the consistency of the UI and overall stability so far. Most impressive so far was the way I could pick up and go as soon as the install was done. No 20 updating apps in the store trying to restore themselves, no quirks that required a hard reset, nothing. I just installed and was off to the races.

Reinstalled on 1520. Things are pretty nice but a few noticeable problems that seem to be ubiquitous throughout my Windows Phones:

1. Groove Music eats battery alive. Even when inactive, it still showed up to 80% battery usage in the foreground. Messaging used to do this but that seems to have been fixed mostly since last build.

2. There's a massive delay in Messaging from when you send the message to when it actually sends. Sometimes the app even crashes.
