Trying it out on my 950 XL, so far no problems....I'll take my 950 with in case it has a meltdown like mft1380's had.
There's a setting to sync . I think by default it's set to sync only a monthIdk, cuz mine isn't going back that far. Oldest is late February.....
Have u tried a hard reset? I've seen that has fixed the issue on some phonesThe "Add Bluetooth or other device" button does nothing again (crashes?). Lumia 950 can pair with previously added devices, but adding new one does not work. The devices settings pages fail in so many ways. Just go to "NFC", change "Tap to share" and then press on gear at the page header (and not usual back button). Now go to Devices/NFC again. Instead of opening page you will get "Loading../Resuming.." and page crash.
I'm still missing texts from feb 22nd thru march 13. I've ran every fast build, never turned off sync, and only noticed because I picked up an elite x3 and it only restored to the 22nd of feb. hoping that all his issue was, but man I'm getting tired of the SMS sync issues.
950XL, DS, US:
Strange thing happen about an hour or so ago, I received a phone call via my landline, which is set to forward all calls to my 950XL; the landline rung one time before the call was re-directed to the 950XL, that rang a half a ring and them immediately went into convulsions :O (vibrating, and some kind a continuous electrical audio noise, like an alarm of some sort), had to do a soft reset to shut it up! after the soft reset, all seems to be well I don't know what caused it, I guess it could be any number of things...but, I will keep it on my radar.
Just checked all my devices at hand (950XL [build 15063], Surface Pro 3 [build 15063], Desktop [build 14393.953], Surface Book [build 14393.953]), and all say the same thing when trying to use Cortana; "sorry I can't connect to the Internet right now"
Agreed 100 %, it should be exactly as before, including start screen tiles, after hard reset. MS makes way too often just half job and that's not enough for users.This build is actually killing me. After updating yesterday I got the BSOD and had to use the WDRT to reflash the phone and spent all day doing updates and trying to get it something like it was beforehand. All was well until this morning and I tried to reset an app I was having trouble with. After that the phone wouldn't launch built in apps like Camera, Edge, Photos, Phone, People etc etc and Third Party apps worked fine. Strangely the Settings app still functioned so had to do a hard reset and spend half of today doing the same as yesterday. It's so painful!
Say what you like about iPhones but I can go buy another right now or do a hard reset on one and restore from a back up in less than an hour and everything will be exactly as it was before. Just a few passwords to enter and that's it. Windows phones you need to keep screenshots in OneDrive of your Start screens just to try and replicate the way you had it before any hard resets etc

If you use a back up file from a recent fast build you will get your screen tiles back 90% of the times, at least in my 950.
You get all the apps (I have 170 aps) even with folders and customized tiles.
If you synchr settings, then passwords for sites and ie favorites are restored properly
Apps that participate in back up restore most if not all settings
You don't get:
Accounts need to be set again, except main Microsoft account.
NFC settings are by default on
After a back up restore you need just a quarter of an hour to be set
Yeah I did exactly that. I always force a backup before I install a new software update just in case. All my apps downloaded again and most of my settings upon restore but even after just leaving the phone to complete it and download everything the Start Screen layout was untouched and I had to move everything across manually from the app drawer and resize and move the apps that were already on the Start Screen. Plus re-add any WebApp tiles or transparent tiles for apps I have.
