I have a Lumia 520, live in Ireland and I just got the tech preview update message. It's the actual update not the Tech config update.
 
Installing now. Fingers crossed I wont get bricked.

Installed and its much smoother then the previous build I had. Login to apps much better some settings in the extras section don't work but has to be expected.
 
Is the photos app fixed?


Yes it works super smoothly. Its actually working better then 8.1 It loads the pics much quicker and it connects to OneDrive super smooth. Yes great improvements made in this build.
 
When I tapped install it caused the phone to switch off (not the usual restart and my phone was plugged in) so I took out the charger and plugged it back in. As soon as I plugged it in the usual vibrate came and the OS continued to install as usual.
(I was going to yank out the battery but I was lucky I didn't as this could of caused an issue therefore using the recovery tool could of caused a brick at this critical stage) When updating and you see the battery logo and charging indication just pull out charger and plug back in.
 
Another thing fixed in this build was the ability to put in the SIM pin number after the update. I couldn't do this in the previous build.
 
Still cant turn off apps in the background using battery saver. I have two installed one from windows 10 tech preview and one from the firmware Denim side.
 
Really happy with my update so far. The keyboard has been fixed too its,more precise and typing is a little smoother.
 
Update my phones brightness keeps going to low. It doesn't do it all the time just some of the time.
 
I cannot set my data sense. Which is,a little infuriating as I have a data plan set on my phone but I shall be patient.
