Windows 10 Mobile build 15204 Discussion (Redstone 3; Fast Ring)

Brandon from Microsoft clarified this in twitter today

I don't think this is a proper rs3 build, I think ms are again pulling a windows 7.5 here for current handsets, the proper rs3 build will be windows 10 on arm for phones, not windows mobile 10.

The lastest cumulative Creator build was horrible for me (terrible battery life, endless random reboots - especially when battery is low). So I decided to take a risk and updated to this build. It's been working pretty smoothly for me.

and you need to read between the lines here, ms are very deceptive with their words regarding windows 10 mobile, why would he use the word "assume" that covers his *** because this is not an rs3 build, its a CU release 2 build.

Anyone install this build on a 1520? Any thoughts?

See my post and the release blog. Most devices are no longer eligible.

For me, the initial experience after upgrading to 15204 and doing a FDR was TERRIBLE HORRIBLE OVERNIGHT STANDBY DRAIN. I went to bed with it fully charged and the next morning it was around 20%. The battery stats said 77% of the drain was "settings" with all of that in the background. I assume "settings" is a euphemism for (or at least includes) system processes? If not, what would settings be doing in the background?

I have rebooted and am charging. I can't wait to see what happens next.

I think you're right. Hopefully it settles down and battery life improves.

No such experience here. I can think that it has tried to download some apps on background unsuccessfully (there is always some background redownloads after update, some you can not see in store app). Idle memory consumption is still less than 0,5 %/hour, so I lose less than 4 % during 8 hours night (unless there is too many background jobs to be done) ...

15204 on 950XL, has seem to operate flawlessly so far, noticeable faster for me.

Same here on my 959XL. No problems at all so far. Battery life seems improved overall, too (albeit not dramatically).

 

[pgoelz]

I think it may indeed have settled down after rebooting and charging. When I got up this morning to find the battery nearly dead, the phone was cool to the touch but not cold like it is now.

I have seen 0.5%/hour in standby many times in the past but has never been consistent. Lets see how this build fares.

So far, so good. Only time will tell.

Hi all -

Running on my 950Xl - the only issue I have had on the last two builds is regarding Maps. When using a Bluetooth connection with headphones, maps reads me my directions. When I connect to Sync Bluetooth in my 2012 Ford Escape, maps cuts into the playback, but no sound comes out. I have not found is there is a setting to adjust this. Bluetooth audio is working fine for phone calls and playing music on Groove.

15204 on L650, so far working well. smoother and battery lasting a bit longer!

On my Elite X3 this build has way fewer issues. The text input issue in Edge is gone and works perfectly now.

Outlook Calendar Live Tile is dead. Have to add an event to revive it. Then it eventually dies again. First time I've had this issue for quite a while.

Has worked for me the recent weeks. But it seems, live tiles are the most difficult engineering problem ever. At least for Microsoft.

You know, it occurs to me that I don't think I have one single live tile on my Start screen that works perfectly. They all either do not work as designed (for example Facebook, Facebook Messenger) or intermittently stop working altogether (for example Store, Outlook Calendar).

Not sure why, but I have still not gotten the 15204 update for my Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL. Still on 1703 15063.138 and every time I check for updates it says non are available. Any ideas? And I'm on the Insider Fast ring, always have been on this phone.

It should be available for your phone. Well, there is a new build 15205 available, so try again

The release notes for new Build 15025 say "We fixed the targeting issue that caused some variants of the Alcatel IDOL 4S to not receive Build 15204 last week. All variants of the Alcatel IDOL 4S should receive Build 15205."

Don't know if that fix will benefit you - hopefully it does.
