[Bashar Awwad]

HA! How?s this for a bug/user error? So I was reading that doing a hard reset would help with some issues with the phone so I did a hard reset. What happened is hilarious. I can?t help but laugh. So my 930 is from Thailand(?) and after the hard reset was done I was asked to set my language and region. Well, I would hit the little box to bring up the list of possible languages and every single time I tried to scroll to English the list of languages disappeared. After doing this five times I somehow set the language in Thai(or probably Chinese) and now my phone is in a language I can?t read. Hopefully I can fumble my way through the settings to change the language

Same problem here, how u did a hard reset?

For me it's quite stable. One major bug that is annoying me: when setting a background picture behind the tiles, and when I make the tiles transparent, half of my picture is black, the other half displays a cropped picture.

Funfact: 'old' WP8.1 apps launch faster than before, no resuming.

Other little bug: the tiles of official apps by MS, and some other from the store, have a fussy logo on it.

So mines was stuck on the loading screen, would stay there for about 5 minutes then reboot on it's own. Just been a continuos loop of that since installing it. Doing a hard reset now to see if I can at least get into W10 to play with it a little bit. During the loading screen I could swipe down and go to all settings. Also a noticed a text file in my documents folder (called Non_Production Errors) that read as follows lol

// Production Self Test Log

// This log file describes test failures from the Production Self Test.
// If you see this log file, it means that this device is not ready to ship
// because some of the production self tests are failing. If this is a pre-production
// device, this is an expected result and this file can be ignored (or deleted). If this
// is supposed to be a production ready device, check the log below to identify tests that
// are failing, and see the Windows Phone documentation for information on how to fix the
// issues identified by these tests.

TEST FAIL: SBCP Policy Publisher mismatch
TEST FAIL: PRERELEASE: Pre-Release software - Not approved for release

I accessed this through my PC

I'll do it tonight. Wish me luck.

DONT DO IT!!! I played with it for an hour straight and too many issues. The Screen resolution is all jacked up, the phone experience is laggy... overall not good. I am literally downloading the recovery tool now and rolling back to 8.1

As one poster said give it some time the start screen does come up after a bit.

It's working MUCH better than it did on my 635 test device.

 

[Larry Young2]

also stuck on loading. You can pull down the notification center and even click search and get Cortana and Edge. It just wont load the home screen

 

[michail71]

After an hour with the build I would say a strong no unless you want to provide feedback and roll back after a few days. It's really rough and buggy still.

Most of my issues have gone away after a hard reset. Start menu no longer gets stuck on "Loading..."

I also have found a few old system app icons seem to have been carried over from my start menu restore like Pictures that will not load. Once I removed the old app pin and pinned the new Pictures app it works fine.

I have a ton of apps still downloading which is sucking battery faster than I can charge. Phone is VERY hot.

Also, I have noticed bugs where clicking "Download Message" in a MMS text causes the message app to crash. Start menu background image comes up half screen on reboot, but changing from full background to tiles and back to full fixes it until the next reboot.

My Icon is stuck on "loading" after swiping to unlock....

Same here, I'm having that problem too! I can load the Action Center, but there's nothing much I can do about it right now....

 

[Heavens_Angel26]

Can't find build 10080 (LUMIA 640XL)

This is for the Icon, please post at the correct board with your issue

Uggg...
The toils of being a beta-tester.
Hard resets (and roll-backs) lose saved games, for those developers that chose not to enable cloud saving.

Guys I did a hard reset and all is good. Just that I no longer have my ME tile and can't create folders by dropping an app on another app.

Hard reset didn't help me any.

 

[Asik15]

Also stuck on loading here. But i can hold back button but taskmanager is not really showing anything. I can get into notifications and via that into settings, but other then that i can't do anything. Not sure if hard-reset will fix

Hard reset is the one and only solution!! if you have a backup then go on~~~

 

[David Feifer]

No issues here after hard reset other than not being able to set up my exchange server on the new mail app. For security reasons we use a non standard address for our mail server and there does not seem to be a way to manually enter this when setting up the account.

*coughcough*
iTunes -> Restore Backup. Just kidding.
Why doesn't MS have a 1:1 backup system?

EDIT: I noticed that Power + VolDown starts the Feedback application.
If you want to submit feedback, you could do this... but hold it a bit longer to soft-reset, of course.

it's not too bad. When restoring from the same os version it's just about that way.

Biggest problem is apps that don't store to the cloud. WiFi setting too. Don't understand if we can have WiFi sense sharing why that doesn't restore.
