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

[Tactik]

Does anyone have a working live tile for outlook on wp10. I cannot believe that we are close to release of the 950, 950 xl and we still cannot have a number on the tile to show new email!!!! Yes I know am I in a beta program and yes I expect that things might not work. But why is it that they don't even do the basics!! Yes this build is stable but it has taken awhile to get here and I am still waiting for lots of basics that were in wp8.1 that have been dropped from wp10. Oh hang on maybe that's the whole point, we are going to get a nice static screen so we can be more like android or iOS

I do not run a wide tile but I am getting new email notifications and the number of new unread on my mid sized tile.

Do you mean power up instantly of just screen on? My screen comes on instantly, just like my iPhone did. I've never had a phone that powered on instantly.

I have separate icons for all of my outlook inboxes and I keep all 5 bundled together in a separate tile, to take up less room. Just Open outlook and go into each inbox individually and the bottom right icon (...) Pin to start. Each one is a separate live tile and shows the unread email in each inbox. I find the notifications update better than the last build. Not instant, but it does happen. My guess this is more of an email server update push to phone question than the phone OS.

I agree with the apps, but that all about developers wanting to port for windows too. More people buy windows phone the more developers will make apps and make them well.

I just used the TXT over bluetooth at lunch...Works fine in my car using the End Call button, etc now. I didn't on the last build. Cortana evens hears me much better than before. I don't have to yell.

I have to say...I hate the Edge browser, but that probably just me and my love of Chrome. It's just not as intuitive as I'd like. I'll get over it.

But overall,...This build of Win10 is making me much happier than the previous. The last one crashed and was super sluggish. This one is much faster for me and no frozen apps, yet.

I'm getting the numbers on the small tiles too...

I can't prove that my second "Hard Reset" faired so much better because I removed my SD card and left the 1520 no choice but to use the native storage, but this build is far more stable and functional in this state.

My favorite improvement is with Hey Cortana. I couldn't get her to function with the first hard reset. (or after the upgrade from 8.1 to 581)
But now she is listening intently to me! Even from my W10Preview Surface Pro and my Band 2. Admittedly, she is still inconsistent, but when she nails it, my jaw drops. When this stuff gets polished, we are going to do some crazy stuff talking to HAL....ooops, I mean Cortana.

And without the SD card, I don't have to be aggravated with the Settings > Storage fiasco this build brings with it.

I'm both patient and optimistic, beyond what I was earlier. I can see where this is going.

This is the first build that I upgraded to directly from a previous build whereby I didn't feel the need to hard reset the phone. Build 10581 on my Lumia 830 is working just like it should be. I haven't noticed many glitches/nuances and have been using it as my daily driver now since it was released. My only gripe at the moment is with Canadian carriers still ignoring Windows Phones and pushing Blackberry still .. sigh ... Ah well.

The only real issues I'm having with this build are with the photo tile (you can now select favorites to be displayed but I haven't found a way to make a photo a favorite);

Hi.

To make a photo a favourite:

1. Open Photo's App.
2. Click on the photo you want to make a favourite, so that it opens.
3. Click the heart icon at the bottom of the display.

I have not found any other way to do it than that. :smile:

Hi there,
I'm having a strange behaviour of Edge browser.
In the Url/search field I can't type lowercase s q and u letter.
Uppercase S Q and U are working properly.
Does anybody else having that problem?
Tried switching between German and English layout without effect.

Hi,

I'm using a Lumia 635. Build 10581. I hard reset after upgrade.

My settings are as follows...
Within the Outlook Mail app itself:

Press the ellipsis button (...) > Settings > Options. Under the "Notifications" heading 'Show in action centre' is ON and 'Show a notification banner' and 'Play a sound' are both TICKED.

(I am using version 17.6403.42002.0 of the Outlook Mail app.)

Under the phone settings - i.e. Settings > System > Notifications & actions. For Outlook Mail, I have Notifications ON, Show notification banners ON, Keep notifications private on the lock screen OFF, Vibrate if my sound settings support it ON.

If your settings are different to mine above, you could try and change them to that to see if it helps? I'm not sure it will do, but no harm in trying as with these settings my live tile is updated when email arrives, I receive audible notification and there is also a notification in the notification bar.

:smile:

Hi.

Just checked for you. That's a strange one! I'm having no problems with lower case s, q and u in the URL/search bar in Edge. I am using English (United Kingdom) keyboard.

Lumia 635, build 10581.

Regards.

I don't mean to boot up instantly, I mean when the phone is already on, but "asleep" - when I press the power button it takes a good second to light up the display so I can swipe up.

Texting over BT is not working well for me. Hopefully it gets fixed so it works properly with my car.

Thanks for the tip about the Outlook inboxes, that will resolve a big issue for me. As far as it clearing the tile and notification area, it works fine on my Android tablet and on WP 8.1, so I'm guess it's a bug in the software and hopefully gets some attention.

Has anyone else experienced the screen randomly fizzying out? Some days it's 2 - 4 times other days it never happens. It has started happening in the last few days & I've been running this build for over a week now. A restart is all that is required to fix it & it's only a real problem if it happens & I receive a call. I've tried to take a screen shot but the pic always shows the real goings on underneath all that stripey colour.
Other than that its a smooth operation compared to the past. Emails still a problem, keypad over the top of text a pain & FB messenger still not working. I would really like to see a fix to storage so I can install my remaining apps.

 

[rkarolak]

In general it's working well on my unlocked (ATT Branded) Lumia 1020. However, I'm having problems with the hotspot disconnecting under the lock screen. It looks like that's one thing they still need to fix...

Okay, this is weird. That's what I used to do in 8.1. Just discovered that all my photos through October don't have the heart, just the icons for share, edit and delete. The two photos I have from November 4th (one taken with the L920 the other saved from a text message) have share, favorite, edit and delete. Wonder if this is because the option wasn't there on builds when the older photos were taken.

 

[peachy001]

No idea why, but today was awful on my battery. My routine is that I start everyday at 100%. Usually have 80%+ left by the time I get home. Today, I was at 20% by lunchtime. By 12:30pm I was at 9%.

I've just checked through a bunch of my photos on the phone. Most of mine have the favourite option to choose, including those taken when using older builds, but a couple only had the "share, edit and delete" options.

So I delved a bit deeper and looked at the file information showing for each photo. Those showing with source as 'SD card' all had the favourite option to choose; those without the favourite option had the source showing as 'OneDrive (Cloud Only)'. It appears the photos may have to be stored on the actual phone storage or SD card to be able to favourite?

I have sms alert on my lock screen. What phone are you using?

Hi.

Have you checked that notifications are on for whichever messaging app you are using for SMS? (Settings > System >Notifications & actions).

Have you checked that whichever messaging app you are using for SMS is one of your five quick status apps on lock screen? (Settings > Personalisation > Lock screen).

Do you have battery saver turned on? If so, is the app on the allowed list? (Settings > System >Battery saver > Battery saver settings). It could explain the Outlook Mail problem you mentioned earlier as well.

Regards.

920, already on 10581 for a week plus.
Received an update from Fast Ring this morning. Everything completed within 20 minutes.
I have no idea what is this update about.
Nothing changes, and Notification action (4 quick toggles) still not able to modify.
