W10 Tech Preview - 10080: Lumia Icon - To install, or not to install

[nasellok]

Hi all - really wanting to try out W10 preview - my Icon is my daily driver - please let us all know about your experience if you install - is it stabile, how's your battery life, is anything not working?

Thanks!

Hey there friend, heres the tip: Never install preview on daily driver.

I'll do it tonight. Wish me luck.

Hey there friend, heres the tip: Never install preview on daily driver.

Truth. I loaded up on my 1020, which is just a gym music player, now. After limited use of a week or so, I had to revert back. Couldn't even use it reliably as a music device. I even freshly installed 8.1 prior. But I reverted, might try this new build out...

Now prepairing to install on my 930, daily driver. I like to live dangerous and will let you know my experiences.

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

 

[Matthias Verboven]

Welp, hope that doesn't happen to mine, still installing..

 

[Martinspire]

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

Same problem here. No home screen, just: "Loading..."

Installing now. Waiting at the gears screen.

Same here

It's these moments I like about being a beta tester Will it work or not? It's like a gambling game haha. Mine's migrating now.

 

[Kieta]

I took the plunge too, migrating data right now

 

[Jeffrey Davidson]

I gave it a shot, and got stuck in a reboot loop. Doing a hard reset now.

 

[fx45guy]

Mine got stuck in an endless reboot too, after finishing up. Trying hard reset now.
Me thinks this didn't get tested too well!

 

[RSailer]

Fingers crossed on the hard reset. Otherwise its back to 8.1 we go.

 

[Matthias Verboven]

From other thread:

Mine works! After migrating I unlocked the phone and got the loading screen like three times, now on homescreen.

I hope to all whos phone doesn't work you'll find a way to fix it.

Installed and have been playing with it over lunch. Once my lunch break is over I'll be going back to my desk and reverting back to 8.1

 

[Martinspire]

Just let it go for quite some time and my startscreen is back. No hard reset required! Just let it load for many minutes and your golden
