Time for new thread.

Amen. Got about 50% done. I hope Groove got some work done!

 

[vodda]

I hope hard reset will not be needed, really hate backing up and restoring photos/videos on my L930

PS, 4% done

 

[YeahRrright]

There is a second update after the first one. So far only seen that LockScreen is still not fixed, only text moves...

 

[Musicman247]

That's the way it works when you have a pin. Maybe it's not a bug? Seems weird, but who knows.

Hey guys, could people doing the upgrade comment on the performance of the device without doing a hard reset after the upgrade? (It would be great if you could also include which build you are upgrading from and your device model).

 

[vodda]

I will not hard reset untill I see its needed.

Upgrading from last build, L930.

Same here with my 930. Hard reset should not be needed if upgrading from 572.

Please, could somebody upgrading from 10572 let us know if there is anything different here in this build? Apart from "seems faster". Thanks. For the record, I did read the blog post by Gabe.

Very little time between gears and migrating stages...10572 had a black screen for more than 10 minutes.

Step 18 of 22!

How do you know?

Got it installed and the home screen is all flashy and unreadable. Can nav to other screens and they are fine. Did a reset, issue still exists.
Trying the secondary update now.

Around 15 minutes into update from build 10572 to 10581 (Lumia 1520):

- Hard reset not seems to be needed. Comparing to what I had when I got 10572 (it was unusable before hard reset) this build is fine.
- Accent color changed to red from whatever I had. The rest of personalization seems to be fine.
- LockScreen, only text moves. Weather app is still nowhere in the lockscreen settings.
- Groove is as horrible as it was. If you start playing one song and add stuff to "Now Playing", it doesn't play the next song, but just stops, even though the button shows PAUSE, meaning it thinks it is playing something, if you repeat the same song it hiccups and stumbles in the beginning and the end of the song.
- Unable to connect my laptop to Mobile Hotspot. Just gives error before I can even enter the password.
- Wifi seems to be working OK.
- Hey Cortana works! YAY!
- Cortana's "Play *name_of_the_whatever*" is very sluggish and slow, but it works better than on 10572. Meaning at least it works.
- Cortana in general seems to be a bit faster, but not as smooth as W8.1 Denim.
- Pressing BACK button too fast now evokes the task view, that is annoying. Once it just opened on its own.
- There seems to be no notifications for incoming emails, yet when email is read, or even read and deleted, it still sows in the live tile until new emails will arrive, and the they will be stuck there.
- Motion data store update is still broken. There is an update for WIndowsCamera.
- After installing the update checked the RichCaptue: 3072x1728 resolution with main camera and 1280x720 with front. Front camera sucks.

UPDATE:
- There is no insider HUB.
- Background kind of 'jumps" when closing an app or scrolling fast on start screen.
- Forgot to mention, for me there was almost no black screen after the update.

Unable to restart error 0x8024a112, so switched off and on manually and tapped Restart again. Worked. Now standin by gears

Hey Cortana is back, and is working nicely.

 

[Mad Cabbie]

Downloads OK but can't get past the preparing for install. That sucks. Yet another error code that means diddly squat. Oh well, here we go again...lol

you may want to try to change the background pic. It might help it.

Nice! Is it as fast as long pressing Windows button now? Was really too slow before, especially given the fact that apps aren't closed anymore.

This! We're at the point I would hope that it's not needed after an update. (Although honestly, from the MS point of view the ability to update from one TP version to another is something they really don't have to provide (although it's nice) since it's a TP and the real release update will theoretically only be updating from 8.1.)

I hope I don't have to hard reset because being on a 640 with limited space and not being able to change the default storage locations could be an issue. I almost didn't install this update because of that issue, but I figure at worst we'll have a new build in another week or so and I would expect that to be fixed. We're almost to RTM so it can't be too long.

Turning background photos off on the start screen fixed the issue.
