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

[TrueMetalGeek]

10:48 AM and it just booted up to my normal lock screen and said "UPDATES INSTALLED".
That is 12 minutes from start to end. No issues.

Got the dreaded RED tile accent nthough as did my Icon when it got the update.
Easy fix tho.

Do you reset after update?
Ms edge works great here..

I Did that but still not working

 

[jfa1]

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

My install went great except that when I tap the edge tile Edge tries to open and then reverts to the start screen So I cant get on line to search through that live tile or Cortana or the People tile. Does anyone know how to cure this problem. I have tried a soft reset to no avail.. Thoughts from anyone? I upgraded from 8.1 denim to 10581 with no other issues that I am aware of.

Just instaled it on my 640xl and it works realy good.coming from a clean windows 8.1 and i will keep trying things out

24 hours in on my 640 and for me this is the best build so far. It still needs work but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Battery life is greatly improved which is the main reason I had to revert back to 8.1 from previous builds, seems to be about the same as 8.1 in that regard. As long as no major glitches crop up I can see this being my daily driver and with improvements from future builds the future is finally looking bright.

I updated from 8.1 and had some initial issues with the battery bar and start screen. I decided to run update again and found another quicker update after the initial 10581 install. Not sure what happened or if it's coming in 2 parts for everyone but until I looked the 2nd time I was having many of the same issues others are reporting with the start screen jumble, etc. After the 2nd shorter update installed it's been smooth as butter.

Had a pretty good experience with this build so far on my L930, did the update (from 8.1), did hard reset, re-installed all my apps, set up my mail accounts etc. All good. Only thing I've noticed that's not as good as it was before is that Tetris Blitz seems to struggle a bit at times. Everything else seems fine, battery life may even be slightly better than 8.1, it's definitely not worse.

Now that you mention it, I have had this issue as well, with Puzzle Quest 2. It's hardly a demanding game, doesn't even run at native resolution on my lumia 1520.I have my device set to developer mode so I can access telemetry through the web interface, and it certainly seems to be a software issue - whenever the lag spikes occur, gpu utilization drops to zero for a split second. It didn't happen under 10572.

Sorry to ask again, but is anyone else having trouble with DLNA casting?

Sorry, I haven't been able to test it. Our two castable devices are both being used by family members. I'll be able to test it later this evening however.

What have you been trying to cast, so I can try it out later?

So far this is awful with the new release. Here's a shot of my new Start menu.View attachment 115569 It's barely usable, if this won't be fixed quickly, I will have to go back to 8.1. This is from an HTC One M8 that had been working will with the prior build.

Did you read about the bug fixes and known issues for build 10581 before you jumped into it? Specifically the part that says:
If you restore a backup from a phone that had a different resolution, you may end up with a corrupted Start experience. The workaround is to go to Action Center (which won?t be corrupted) then Settings > Personalization > Start and apply a different background picture.

Just noticed one slight bug that probably is just as minor as can be on my HTC One M8. Everything works as good as or better that I've used. Very quick and really like the look but once this afternoon when I tried to use the Speaker helping out my dad using TeamViewer I couldn't get Speaker to come up. I had to keep picking up the phone to hear what he was saying. After a few minutes I was able to activate the speaker button. Things like this have happened in the past on this phone (not this specifically) but on the whole this seems to be much better than the phone used to be to me. This is my most important business phone (my backup plan was to go pick up a new cheap LG) and after talking to my Microsoft buddy he indicated this build was going to be closer to the actual release so I gave the 10581 a go. It did update again yesterday or at least in the AM last night so I guess it's on fast track now. How often in the past were these major upgrades updated?

Decided to make it look like a Windows 10 Phone for the fun of it...

The issue seems to be related to the native casting system. If I use the old Lumia Play To app, which does all te work within the app, it works fine. Tubecast also works fine, because it has its own casting interface.
But if I cast videos from Movies & TV or myTube Beta, which also uses the native Windows 10 casting, it doesn't detect my external displays. Please give it a shot an let me know.

Quit being a jerk. I had that bug, and i restored to the exact same phone.

I have TubeCast, tried it via DLNA cast to my Samsung HDTV and it works using my (test) Lumia 928 with this current 10581 build.

Very nice of you. Very nice. Outstanding!

Yes, as I said, Tubecast works fine. Movies & TV doesn't. It loads up the OS's own interface for casting, and no display is found.

My casting experience has been rather buggy and awkward so far. Nothing like what apple and android have been doing for some years already.

Hi all, just Installed 10581 on my 930 over the previous build. The build feels superfast and works likte a charm but unfortunately, the battery drains equally fast. I think It lasted 2 hours or so. Now It has fully drained I will charge it again to see how It reacts. Worse battery experience thus far.....:-(

 

[John Christopoulos]

Which weird scrolling thing?

Well, scrolling let's say in settings menu when reaching the end of the list, it was somehow over accelerating . It is corrected since i reported it

 

[azcruz]

Still no option to set the highest connection speed as 3g only !! Its not present since 536 !!!

4G only and 3G only seems to be gone after 10536.

 

[Omoronovo]

4G only and 3G only seems to be gone after 10536.

I had option of 3G only and 4G only on 10572 (Lumia 1520.3, Three UK). I'm currently hard resetting and restoring a backup, so I will have to check what options I have on 10581.
