Yes this happens with me too. Probably something changed in 8.1, WhatsApp has to update their app to fix this...nothing you can do about it.

Hi, I'm having an issue with my Lumia 920 earphone/headset..

After 8.1 updation, whenever I plug my headphones, there's no sound coming from the right earphone. When I pull the jack, the sound comes from both sides.

The problem doesn't go away until I reboot the phone.

Any ideas ?

I'm referring to the phrase "RTM candidate". But I really can't be bothed with this discussion any more. Let's wait and see whether the final release via manufacturers is identical and contains all the same bugs.

It was discussed a million times already.

The ONLY truth is that Windows Phone Developer Preview build is NOT a BETA build (the opposite thing is for Windows and Xbox One Preview Program instead, with full BETA builds to test prior to RTM/Final builds releases).

In FACT Windows Phone Developer Preview contains only the FINAL/RTM OS part of a whole GA Windows Phone Package that, when released, will contain that part (RTM) + Microsoft GA Patches for that part + OEM part (Cyan Firmware for Lumias and other firmware/drivers from other manufacturers) + Carrier part (for Branded phones at least).
Obviously and meanwhile, all the first and third party apps will be regularly updated through Windows Phone Store.

With Dev Program you can immediately obtain the first part (RTM) as soon as really finished and available, and months ahead the official worldwide release.
All the other parts (GA Patches + OEM Firmware + Carriers Customization) will be installed ON TOP of the RTM (Dev Preview Build) as soon as they will be available too.

So the only difference between Dev Preview and GA Release is choosing to:

1) Install WP8.1 "in parts" as soon as they got finished: OS First + OS Patches after + OEM drivers and Carriers mods later, beginning this process months ahead the official release (April);

2) Install the whole 8.1 Package all together, but months later the official announcement of the OS (July).

The choice is yours.
And thats ALL about it, once and for good.

Have a nice day!

Well, in my case, I need internet sharing.

It seems 8.1 has broken internet sharing on my Lumia 925. And I don't know if a patch for that is incoming or what (it's not clear if this is a prevalent problem or not).

Since internet sharing was a central reason I bought my 925 to replace my old Dell Venue Pro, I really don't have a choice but to go back to 8.0 unless a patch is coming very soon. That seems like a pretty good reason to speak poorly of 8.1 before anything else.

Hmm. I have a att 925 with cyan using internet sharing now. Not sure why it's not working for you.
