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

[tarmanjit manku]

Hey, does it work well on the 720? I'm anxious to upgrade yet tensed because its a 512mb device and I don't want to brick it

It won't give any problem to 512mb devices. I have L535 it works pretty good. So you can go for it.

Agree with every single word. The two annoying things are indeed that overview is worse for multitasking and that "Windows will close apps as needed to free up RAM for apps that are being launched" - I would like to have an easy method to show Windows which of these dormant apps I do not need anymore. Example: I am typing in Word and launch some apps to quickly look something up, or an email or something drops in, I don't want Word to be closed because of insufficient memory.

I believe that Windows will close the apps selectively. Close the ones that were dormant the longest.

[Edit]
This is a feature that was introduced in WP7 so it wasn't new in WP 8.0 or WP 8.1. And developers have control over it. Most of my non-Microsoft apps do close when you use the back arrow.

Yes, unfortunately.

Change usb port, uninstall any Lumia / Nolkia usb comm device from system -> device list, than unplug , replug and wait for new drivers to be installed.
It happened only on certain devices in same case

That's not a phone bug, but a random pc connectivity iussue. Simply it doesn't recognize the phone as a new device

Going to have to disagree with you. On my Primary desktop, I tried USB 2.0, USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 ports on it, still the same results. Even tried it at my work laptop, USB 3.0 ports, tried all 3 on this machine and the same result.

The Phone will show "slow charging" (even though my USB 3.1 ports support Quick charge), no drive will show up, or nothing in the device manager.

The phone is going in a charge only mode, is there a **new** setting someplace to change this ? (Android devices have this option, a sync, charge and another option when connecting via usb)

Maybe not for you but, it's a BUG or a setting someplace.... Anyone know for sure ?

Edit: To be 100% sure, I removed ALL Nokia drivers from (programs and features) Windows and rebooted, same result (no applications made by Nokia are installed)

For those with issues with SMS and email notifications, a hard reset without restoring backup solves it all.
I downloaded the preview without hard resetting and i didnt get Skype video call. Just did the reset now and the app is there!
OS is more fluid than before reset.

Yes, I also would not get email notifications after hard reset with restore on build 10572. The method had been fine for the builds before.

Sadly, not stable enough for me (1320). It got very hot with dataconnection on, and the battery didn't last a half day. Furthermore I got multiple freezes. After my seventh freeze (and soft reset) I decided to roll back to 8.1.

Apart from the battery drain and freezes, the build was clean and quick. Apps loaded quickly and everything felt smooth. To bad I had to roll back I liked the build!

I'm not getting notifications sounds for my email accounts (I have 4) but the visual notifications and banners do work. I get sounds for calls and texts and other apps, just not email (and that is more important to me). Also the OS jams and reboots itself a bunch (I expected this) but after each time it does the reboot itself some app doesn't work properly (MixRadio, Groove, News, Sports... it's random) which requires me to do a soft reset to resolve that.
Also the SD card is not recognized anymore but if I take it out the phone immediately warns me that I removed it improperly (but I couldn't do the safe steps for removal because it says there is no SD card).
This build started out good but is going downhill fast. I was using build 10549 as a daily driver just fine but this build is only better in that it is faster, but not more stable. Here's hoping that November is a "bug killing" month for this OS!
Not gonna lie tho, even with all the bugs this is fun testing out the OS like this (some work days are annoying but still fun). Anybody hear if the Insider Hub app is coming back to 10781?
Using a L830

Yes, unfortunately.

Well, something has to go away. What would you expect?

 

[Daenny]

probable a really stupid suggestion and I'm sure you have done this but on my 925 after every update I have to go into the outlook app and go settings, then options and change the 'show in action centre' as on and check the 'show a notification banner' and 'play a sound' check boxes.

As I said this is always ticked to off for me after doing the updates. just to confused it shows as on in the notification settings. but doesn't work unless its on in the app :s

The one I closed.

 

[abduz]

Thanks for sharing this. I also have a L830 but really need basic things like mail, messaging, and phone to work without fail. Guess I'll stay on 8.1 longer. MS really needs to get their **** together rapidly!

This!! I'm experiencing this with my 930 as well. My MS account is taking forever to sync, emails wont send and receive and messaging app only shows my SMS/Messages if I restart my phone then it goes blank ...first day everything was working fine except for Messaging

After upgrading to 10572 and later 10581 I have had keyboard problems.

I have tried numerous times on my unlocked 830 but no Dutch keyboard download for me. Dutch (Belgian) works but it has an AZERTY layout. So for now no word suggestions or auto correction :-(

On my L1520 no problem but I never needed a hard reset there so the keyboard was already there. Anybody know a workaround?

 

[Scottie10014]

I was in the same boat last night. Just installed it. Painless install and for the most part works just fine. However, couple of things to note, Edge crashes on me constantly even after a soft reset (have to use another browser), linked inbox is gone in Outlook for now (kind of sucks, I like it being linked), I had to do a soft reset to get the battery charge to be accurate, Cortana has a white background for content she follows for you, which looks meh when you run the dark theme (which I do). Other than that mostly works well.

 

[vhaakmat]

Strange. On my 535 (Asian market) I got the Dutch keyboard (6MB download)

Is the 830 a dutch country variant? Also, did you already receive the insider configuration update after the new build? Could be that it is needed to force insider fast again in the app and then check for updates.

This is *not* a bug. Windows no longer tells you to unlock your device before it will allow you access to the stuff on your phone, but it is still required.
Connect it to your pc, then unlock the phone (you can lock it again immediately), you'll have access to your data.

The previous version of the phone companion app told you this, but it doesn't seem to do so anymore (even with wp8.1)

Not so stable on my 640XL: Photo app and Facebook Beta often crash while scrolling through some pictures.

 

[anon(123856)]

I have it running on a Lumia 822 and it's faster and smoother than any other previous build. Noticed a few bugs with the store, as have others. After a couple of days everything settled down. Haven't done a hard reset yet. Every other build I tried a hard reset was almost mandatory but this build maybe not. Still not ready to go for it on my 735 but it's getting close.

Facebook beta was also unstable on my 640, since I replaced it by the regular facebook app no more problems. Haven't had a restart in four days.
