Until now, version .218 runs very smooth and battery performs much better.

That's certainly good news. Have you tested functions that others have complained about on this blog?

 

[pecet]

I agree. For me edge performs little better. Also app switching is more fluent. It's overall faster and battery consumption is lower.
But camera still don't focus and that one finger bug is annoying.

Attention 14322 does not work on the ATIV S anymore!

Hi, what do you think with "does no work" ?
Is that :
- it is impossible to update to 14322
or
- you can update, but the mobile is bricking or buggy after?

Have a nice evening!

It means bootloop. Windows Logo, Samsung Logo -> restart.

The .218 is indeed running pretty well on the Ativ S.
One funny thing about the autofocus with the primary camera is that it works in some applications like the Authenticator but not in the Windows Camera application. How sad... :/
And the front facing camera autofocus is working.

Arf... I will stay in my poor 10.0.14291.1001...

I would really love to go back to 10586!
For camera, I'm using Camera360Sight which is really good

If you want to go back to the 10586 build, downgrade to WP8.1.1 using SMD Binary Downloader v3.54 to flash an factory ROM and then, upgrade to W10M (fast ring from WP8.1.1 to get 10586.107 then Release Preview Ring from 10586.107 to get 10586.218).

I was too late to seeing this.....

Now needs to rollback and start all over....=__=

However being in W10M for few months, I really failed to see it's potential over WP8.1 especially on old devices....UWP support is the only reason it stay in my ATIV S thought.

I'm still on 8.1 update 2. I've reset all registry entries to their defaults. Windows update keeps asking me to update to 10586.29. If I initiate the update, do you know if the update will continue to .218? Thanks

Your problem is that it seems Windows Update has downloaded (or started downloading) the 10586.29 update before you restored your phone registry values. At this point, only a hard reset can save you because there is no simple way to reset Windows Update on Windows Mobile (if there is a way at all). And no, the update will not continue to 10586.218 because you restored the registry value and each time a system update is installed you need to re-enroll your phone in the insider program.

The only reason I went from 8.1 to 8.1 update 2 was the hope that my phone and my Logitech BT keyboard would communicate... they don't. Have you tested any BT functions on your phone?

Hi, no I don't believe there was any attempt to start downloading 10586.29. Automatic Update is turned off. If I use the Upgrade Advisor app, It simply says there's an update available and to go to Phone Update. Perhaps all phones running 8.1 update 2 are automatically targeted for 10. Does that make sense?

Automatic update turned off doesn't mean Windows Update cannot search for new update.
And yes, It may be that maybe they check the system build number first, if not compatible, they perform a check on the phone manufacturer and so on.

It hardly is so. I had Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 on the phone and Upgrade Advisor wasn't considering the phone as eligible for upgrading to Windows 10.
Up until I changed PhoneManufacturer in DeviceTargetingInfo from SAMSUNG to NOKIA and enrolled into Windows Insider program I wasn't able to upgrade to Windows 10.

 

[Exotic Hadron]

each time a system update is installed you need to re-enroll your phone in the insider program.

I don't feel this is rightfully so.

I've enrolled into Windows Insider program only once when the phone was on Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2.

After that I underwent 3 updates (10586.107->.164 (soft reset) ->.218 (no reset), and i didn't do anything with my enrolment to run these updates. I haven't run Windows Insider anymore after upgrading once from 8.1 to 10.

All updates to Windows 10 the phone received without me needing to play with enrollment into Windows Insider program.
