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

[dupczysko]

Lumia 930. Work`s fine.

 

[Sunstorming]

Got it on my 1520. Its the first build I actually kept on the 1520 for more than a few hours. Everything works, altho there is a weirdness when you go to send a text message you have to hit back arrow once to get the text field to come up. OneNote crashed a few times but has since stopped. I now think my pre-orderd 950 XL will be just fine

FWIW -- went from 8.1 to the newest build 10581 with no hard reset. No problems whatsoever, everyhint worked aside of the minor bugs I have noted.

Nope, CV carrier free (000-DE). I got this firmware just some builds ago through WDRT when restoring WP8.1.

Sorry, I had found it already and ninja-edited my post a second time

I'm downloading a few carrier variant builds and will try them all out to find the one with the best features/compatibility. What a way to spend a weekend!

I'm currently using the CV (000-GB) on this phone, though it seems the GB version has a slightly higher firmware revision for some reason.

Btw. I reverted to 8.1, did hard reset, uninstalled all uninstallable apps, upgraded to 10572, did hard reset, uninstalled all lumia apps and the bloatware before the store updated it and there I was. Got 10581 now if course, 10572 not available anymore. But maybe it works without hard resetting 10 now.

Good to hear. Did you try 10572 as well? I upgraded from 8.1 to 10572 and had much the same kind of overall-good experience you had, but when upgrading from 10572 to 10581 I've noticed a few issues. Maybe reverting to 8.1 and upgrading to 10581 directly might help.

Btw. I am outdoors right now hand stressing the phone. Will report on stability later!

Perhaps my problem was that I let all the lumia apps update before upgrading, and did not hard reset before jumping to 10581. Either way, I'm hoping I can get those bits working this weekend, would be nice to not think I'm losing something by upgrading (as presumably whatever process fixes them for this build *should* fix them for retail, in case retail doesn't ship with these features natively).

Ah, I'll cut down on my excessive commentary then

I've downloaded a few builds now (including your CV-DE build), and will follow the steps you provided to get up to 10582. I'm not too concerned about my SD card settings for now as I can just manually move my data over at a later date if needed. Wish me luck!

I do! What I can report so far is that the device gets quite warm while taking photos with Microsoft Camera. Also it shows the saving message with the 2nd picture already.

Edge is way better than the last build. Battery life is fine.

No, I haven't tried a preview since whatever was in fashion in mid-September. That build sucked so much even after a hard reset I said No More until RTM. I changed my mind cause this build got stellar reviews... I probably won't do another update as I sense RTM is a month away if that.

I agree. I've hated Edge on WM 10. There also seems to be a new thing with the menu at the bottom right. When you touch it to display the options, it shows the hub menu with favorites, history etc. That wasn't the case in the last build.

 

[NoogMan9605]

24 hours and not a single SMS has been restored. I understand this issue started back during the last build. I've changed every possible setting, and it won't get anything past a few in 2013. I even recovered back to 8.1 to make sure all my texts were there, and it populated years of texts within a few hours. Anyone figure out how to get SMS to restore fully on an ICON?

 

[mevalmvm]

Hello, can anyone tell me how the Microsoft camera working? Are we able to open last photo taken as fast as we could in 8.1?

 

[Unauthorized]

Yes, it is possible to scroll through the last photos or open the Photos app. Is nearly the same as Lumia Camera now, just integrated better into the OS. But the performance is not yet perfect: Like with the previous build it happened after only 2 photos in a row with 5 sec. between that the Camera would not stop showing "saving..." even though they were already available in the Photos app. Closing Camera would not help, only when I rebooted 5 minutes later.

1. Close to 24 since the phone was last charged. Battery is just above 85%. Yay! That is big gain.
2. Switching between apps is back to 8.1 levels (fast).
3. Edge browser cold start has been improved. Pages load fine and faster than before.
4. I have Lumia 820 which has only 8GB onboard memory. I had to remove a lot of apps to make space for this update. Surprisingly, Windows was able to determine apps that I removed prior to upgrade. Post upgrade, all my apps were restored back.
5. Cortana has not been enabled for Indian English. Don't want to switch to US.
6. Storage option in settings menu has lost the ability to determine free space on on-board memory. I can only see MicroSD card listed. Storage options has been revamped and looks intuitive and interesting. Can say lives up to Windows Mobile standards.

Will post more as I continue to explore.

same thing happened to me...did factory reset and had backup from earlier date...say instead of 29 Oct, took the back up of 15 oct, and it worked for me.

I do! What I can report so far is that the device gets quite warm while taking photos with Microsoft Camera. Also it shows the saving message with the 2nd picture already.

I have discovered a few interesting facts.

Firstly, the brightness configuration setting WAS still there - it only shows you one brightness level if you have the phones brightness level set to Auto. :grin: shame on me for deciding just to pull the plug before checking the most basic of things, eh?
I'm glad all it took for me to figure that one out was reflashing my phone to a german rom. Hah!

Speaking of which, the extra space taken up by EN-GB language pack, keyboards, dictionaries etc on top of the German ones that can't be removed, means I've decided to re-re-flash my 8.1 CV-GB build. It's only another 1GB (out of 32GB of onboard flash) difference, but I'd still rather have it for apps/games/etc instead of system files I can't use/have no use of.
So I'm going to re-re-flash to 02540.00019.15235.40005 and do the steps you outlined.

At the very least it means I've reduced the likelihood of my upgrade from 8.1>10572>10581 from having any funky bugs, it's about as clean as it'll get going from 8.1 to latest build. I'll just need to remember to set my storage settings first.

Cheers!

Equal number of buttons per row in the action center could be intended as it "looks more polished". I would like other buttons I never use to be kicked out first. But at least all the actions should be selectable as on of the main buttons, therefore I reported it.

Yes, that's what I meant when I said to report it.

Also, battery life actually seems just slightly worse in this build compared to 10572 and others.

Is anyone having problems with the native DLNA casting system? I can cast using Tubecast or the old Luma Play To because those use their own interface for it, but the native casting system doesn't work, so I can't use Movies & TV to cast anything. Am I the only one?

Yep, it was there a build or two ago. Was for me, anyway...I commented on it. Nice change too.

Anyway, things are still great on my 830 with this build. I did a hard-reset after 24 hours or so just because I wanted to, not because I had to.

Performance is great and much improved. Battery life normal.

My only real issues are:

1) The store: Still buggy and slow. They've come a long way, but still have some work to do.

2) Still getting that "outlook account settings out of date" message from time-to-time.

Of course, still the minor bugs and issues everyone else has already commented on. Overall, they're damn close.
