WP10 TP anyone?

Still broken in the sense it won't pin to Start; although individual contacts can be pinned. I haven't ever integrated Facebook, etc with phone contacts, so that's always been " broken" for me.
 
Anyone brave enough to try the new build 10052. I got burned by the previous build (the No SIM problem) so just curious :)
 
I put 10052 on my 928 the other day. I haven't noticed many changes. App switcher still freezes occasionally, but it's fixed by locking/unlocking the phone. Music and OneDrive apps won't update (apparently a widespread issue), and the Music app still doesn't show album art. I've been using it mostly as a GPS for on my scooter/motorcycle and battery drain is pretty bad. I never used it on 8.1, so I'm not sure if it's TP10 or usual. I can ride for about 30-45 minutes on a full charge before it's down to ~20%.

Do you have any other connectivity turned on during these rides? I've used my 928 in the back country as a GPS in airplane mode for 6-8 hours and will still have about 30-35% left after that time. I'm wondering if the 928 is trying to find cell or WiFi coverage?

If you are in airplane mode and this is the power consumption, that's pretty excessive.
 
Bit the bullet and installed it on a test 928 and so far, seems very stable. There are some issues, but MS already has them flagged.
One issue though, on the new KB, the cursor dot, I can get it to show the directions the cursor should go, but when I pick a direction, it doesn't actually do anything. Is anyone else seeing that?

Admins, if this belongs in the WP10 thread, please move it. Thank you.
 
Anyone planning on putting this week's build on their 928? Kinda interested in the interactive live tiles. Can't recall if that is going to be available for this release or not. I've got the previous build on a test device and it seems to be working well enough.

I always turn off wifi. I think it may have to do with either the auto brightness or some other variable, because sometimes it barely dips 5% after a 20-30 minute ride.

Installing now...
 
Anyone know if TP adds FM Tuner support? I've been on the fence about upgrading but I wouldn't mind the bugs if I can use this feature.
 
I installed the latest Fast Ring build on a test 928. Radio doesn't work. I thought the 928 didn't have FM radio hardware?
​Is there a particular app you want to test with?
 
The story (rumor?) I've heard is that the chipset supports FM, but requires an additional connection to the headphone jack (to use connected headphones as an FM antenna) that is not soldered on the 928. I don't have a source for that handy, though.

I've heard a similar story. I heard that it was there, but disabled thanks to Verizon. Let me see if I can find some cable based headphones.

Not necessarily, it was just one of the selling points that caught my interest when looking into the phone. Upon further research it looks like the capability is there but for some reason the service provider decided not to enable it in the manufacturing process. Supposedly it has the chip for FM tuning but it's effectively disconnected from the circuitry of the phone. It's not that important, I suppose.

If it were enabled it'd actually be a built-in feature like GPS or wifi and not from any app in particular.
 
After upgrading to the new build, do a hard reset. That should fix phone not working issue. The TP's still haven't been very stable in my experience, with a lot of apps not opening and stuff.
 
Thanks Penny, but I can't test it ... lost my phone this weekend :crying: Hope MS will release L940 soon.
