Also... on my L830, after a hard reset, the Glance View settings are gone. Additionally, the device does not behave the same way in regards to how the the Glance View used to work. I will submit feedback, but I figured that I would post here in case anyone had a solution or noticed that it moved to a different location.

Same with my 640xl Glance View settings are gone and the glance view is working in "all the time" mode.

Yes, I did restart since it had been in that state for close to 7 hours. I'll try one of these hard resets. Thank you!

Just have to say that I (sincerely) love the posts "Hey, has anyone else gotten this to work?", "Is this still broken?", or "Have you seen this bug?" because people are trying to find out things and help each other. I've posted a few questions of my own trying to discern if certain features are working before putting it on my daily driver since I don't have a second phone.

I don't even have a problem with a post that says "I had to revert because I need feature XYZ and it doesn't work." We all have our "must haves" before we can say we'll use it. But posts such as "How could they release the preview broken and without feature XYZ? I need it! Microsoft sux!!!!!" really tick me off. It's freakin' pre-release software you dolts. It's fine line between expressing frustration and whining.

Here endeth my rant...

Has anyone figured out how to turn SafeSearch off in Cortana so that it sticks? How am I supposed to look at porn on my phone with this? :winktongue:

But seriously... Installed this on my 925 last night, did a hard reset, then put back the apps I need. So far, so good! This is my first preview build on this phone, 'cause I normally just try them on my spare 520. Figured this one didn't have enough issues to keep it off my daily driver, and so far, it seems to be stable enough for my needs. Not a fan of the white background with mail/calendar, so I'm hoping they eventually allow a dark theme for those. I'm far more impressed with Win10M on the 925 than I am on the 520.

Whenever I go to the Lock Screen settings and click on the Background down down menu, the entire settings menu crashes. Anyone know a fix?

Thanks, Laquox. I thought you used your voice to open the apps, but thanks anyway!

BTW, something that I missed on my previous posts. Is it possible to install Android Apps? I've read something about the code-name of the project, i.e. Astoria, and that it's still unavailable; but as opposed, I've read on this very thread that some people have been trying it out. So, what's the deal?

It is in very very alpha testing mode and I am pretty sure they won't talk about it here on WPC but it does exist but it's no where near ready for the average user.

Ok. So far besides a lot of LITTLE issues, it's seeming pretty good. People are saying battery life is better, it seems but, cant be 100% yet because I have been updating apps and configuring it so I am using up the battery.

Performance is up there with 8.1 if not faster in most causes, accept when you run into a bug, the phone hangs. Over all for doing day to day tasks, I might be keeping this build, the minor issues (that were big on 10166) that I had, seem to be resolved in this build, my Pebble watch is working on it too ! As long as battery is as good as people say, it will be a keeper so far, I have not found any DEAL killers YET.

1. Lock screen when you turn on the phone wont show the time/appointments for about 3-5 seconds when the phone is turned on.
2. Notifications are hit or miss for pop ups, I will see some show for new emails etc but, if I actually look at my email, a lot more have come in than I got a notification for..
3. Store is flakey, very buggy, Crashing for no reason, hanging, and app downloads too unreasonably long (gets stuck on minor issues), it works but, sometimes will take a few tries to get something done. My phone has 5 bars of LTE and close W-FI so not my connection.
4. Android apps are hit or miss on getting internet, I tried the Bank Of America app (Android Version) and every time I get into it, it gets "No network connection", This is on random apps I have tried.
5. Random app problems are common. Sometimes clicking (pressing) on a app will look like it's doing something but, nothing will happen, sometimes takes 2-3 tries to get a app to open. I had one that was working fine and the next day, it no longer worked, asking me to "buy" or "uninstall" buy did not go anywhere.
6. Nokia drive has a problem re-routing directions, the option was to CLOSE Drive and re-open and select past places, to get back on your route.

Nice little perk, all those games/apps that were pulled from the market place, you know all those Xbox games that they Yanked.... If you owned them, you can re-download them. In fact 2 I got a refund for because I they pulled them still showed and I was able to download them...again. Need to finish up the achivements on 2 games that were killed before they update the market place :)

Anyone else having issues with the call/sms filter in this build? It was working in 10166 even though it wouldn't show the numbers in the blocked list setting. you could block a number and then press and hold over the number and it would indicate it was blocked. In this build, there is no indication anymore that a number is blocked.

Have you tried to open the call+filter app??? Just check once or check whether it needs an update. As I was working for me in 10166 build and also in the new build too.

I just have a quick question. Did you hard rest the phone once u updated to latest build????

the stores already sighned into its downloaded some but the 19 others its not :/

Hello, what error actually you getting and which Lumia model you have. I too had such error while updating my app in 10166, then I reverted back to wp8.1 updated latest software and also downloaded all the apps which I was using the most and also updating them. Once it was done I enrolled in windows insider program again.

Once I was in the TP I didn't do any hard rest as that helped to update the apps through store and also my phone is working very smoothly.

So far working fine on my 535. Installed it while i was sleeping, woke up and it was already windows 10 and all apps updated.

Some apps needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled to make it work fine.

Haven't performed a hard reset as of now, will monitor and see for a few days before deciding.

Battery life is so far so good, even with WiFi on and Bluetooth.

Bluetooth is fast.

And to those grumbling, THIS IS A PREVIEW BUILD for the love of God. Obviously there's gonna be bugs, lags, hangs, crashes and a whole lotta other whatnots. This is why Microsoft release a Preview Build, because it needs us to test, use and experience the software and give them feedback as we go and as problems arise so that they may take note of it.

So, rather than grumbling and cussing away here, leave some feedback in the Windows Feedback app.

And if you cant stand these type of bugs, then DONT install the PREVIEW.

Just my two cents worth.....

Yes, I did a clean install without restore after upgrading to the new build. Yes, I did check the app. the app was useless in the previous build as it is now. The app has not shown blocked numbers in the last two builds including 10512 now. in the previous build, I could block a number in the call history menu and It would then ask me if I wanted to unblock it on the drop down menu after holding my finger on the number, even if the app didn't show it on the list. Now, it doesn't show on the drop down menu as being blocked. Its definitely a bug, showing less functionality than in the previous build, I'm just wondering if anyone else is noticing this.
