Windows 10 Mobile build 15254.1 Discussion (Fast Ring)

[asarekena]

Daily driver 950 here updated and it seems fine. I have a 640 on the Fast Ring

I hope this build goes to RP and Production in the next couple of days.

Thanks for your message will try once more. Backed out on the last build cos of messaging app problems on sim2.

Too bad they haven't bothered to fix the BT disconnect issue. It is the only serious issue, but its a biggie when your phone doesn't ring.

I also find it telling that they haven't even bothered to announce this build in their blog. There are probably so few of us left that we don't matter any more.

I have been using the phone every day with BT on listening to music and taking/making calls without issue.



I will keep an eye out for any BT issues. I have not done a reset via System About yet.



I did do the Volume Down + Power restart after a few hours use.



My Barclays Bank apps both work after the update. Tapatalk Classic is working as well.

I have stuck my 950 on Release Preview and there have been a few app updates already this weekend.

I am in the UK with a Vodafone branded 950.



Funny thing is I have had this phone nearly 2 years and I see no need to change it when my contract is up.



I will upgrade to a Samsung Galaxy S8 in December and leave the S8 boxed until the 950 dies.



The performance of the phone has gotten better over the last 2 years.



Such a shame Windows 10 Mobile is winding down.

The phone works great and the apps that I use have polished up nicely over the last 2 years.



The build works well on the 640 too.



One thing I may do is hack my 1020 up to this build when it goes to production.

Updated my primary 950 (also have a backup and an S8), and it seems to running fairly well. Battery life seems similar if not slightly better than previous build. Of course the battery is close to two years old; probably time for a new battery. Nevertheless, it seems like a decent build - as far as Win10m goes. Also, GPS seems somewhat improved(slight preliminary test) though it still pulses a bit while I'm at a stop sign/signal.
Now on RP, unless there is another update before RTM.

So far, after using this build on my 950XL, it hasn't randomly reset at all when waking the phone up from sleep. The battery life also has not plummeted either. Outlook Mail pinned account live tile still doesn't update though for new mail.

Edit - 36 minutes after this original post my phone just soft reset itself. I guess this isn't fixed yet.

 

[Grant Taylor3]

So far so good on my 950. My battery has 0% wear after nearly 2 years.

No crashes or restarts so far. I am still keeping an eye on how the VT works on this build.

How are you determining "battery wear"? Having zero capacity degradation after two yours would be highly unusual, especially in service in a device that was being constantly either discharged or re-charged. Lithiums aren't likely to go two years without degradation.... EVERYTHING degrades them, including storage That is one of the reasons I like the L950 with its replaceable battery.

Updated my 950 XL & Elite X3. No issues.

 

[Mwako]

Since the update, my outlook app crashes and has stopped syncing as of the 18th on my 950. (Both accounts are a Microsoft account / email and a gmail via imap.)

Tried a soft reset but still having problems so thinking a hard reset is the way forward as I can't have a device without e-mails.

My other half's 950 phone is also restarted about 6 times today by itself, but her e-mail is working fine with the new focused inbox.

Is anyone else having trouble with Groove? On my phone, it doesn't even try to sync with OneDrive and sync my music files. On my PC (Creators Update, not an insider device) it works fine. Any ideas how I can force it to sync on my phone?

I still get random resets on this build which kills the battery pretty quick.

Updated my 950 XL, Lumia 830. No issues.:wink:

 

[PerfectReign]

So far so good. But all I do now is use the 950xl as a night clock and for work emails

An update to my OneDrive issue, it randomly just started working and all my OneDrive music is now on my phone too. Problem solved then, but I still get random resets and crashes.

As Windows 10 Mobile is dead now, it's first time I wish my Lumia can install and run Android OS. L950XL is nice piece of hardware (several other Lumias too) and it would be great if someone can make this possible. I'm not optimistic, just dreaming...

We worked together with Microsoft "to build better OS", submitted a millions of bugs, suggestions, great ideas... and now what we have? We have dead OS and dead devices. We are extremely stupid people.

You aren't the only one

My L950 ticks all my important boxes... replaceable battery, SD card, OLED screen, great camera, wireless charging. There isn't a comparable current Android phone out there currently. And it doesn't hurt that I got it for $100 on Ebay

I've been having some problems on my 640 with this release, app hangs, a couple of reboots, and BT spontaneously dropping devices that I haven't seen for a long time. Anyone else?

 

[Marius Vatasoiu]

Can somebody confirm that Windows 10 Mobile Insiders program is closed? After I reset my phone I can't join to program.
