Mine does.

I don't know if it was only me, but I lost my Internet Sharing capability.

What phone and carrier? Any error messages? Hotspot works fine for me on Lumia 1020. I did have to change the APN settings.

 

[Maurizio Troso]

All my Access Point settings are "inactive" and I have no internet connection. I called my carrier and they reset my settings, if that doesn't work I'm going to assume that this build broke it.

Check your Apn settings, they could be empty

can't you make a connection at all, or connection drops after the screen is locked? I have had problem with this function since upgraded to W10m and wondering if this is hardware/firmware specific or OS problem.

Do you mean hot spot function? it's broken on my L720 since one year...

My Lumia 925 bricked while downloading the update.. nothing is working.. it won't start up, soft-reset or hard reset.. windows phone recovery tool isn't detecting the phone either.. any suggestions on what to do?

 

[Sherif Hafez]

Got a configuration update when I switched to Insider Fast L830.

 

[Prince Pusey]

this updates had me a way... nearly all apps crash when opening, i had to reinstall the ones that's giving the trouble

Try using an old NCS, using the restore function. This option requires a FW file, download it using Navifirm plus. If you have trouble downloading this, send me a PM

On my 640, best build so far.
For the past three previous builds, the phone was increasingly slow. Phone app took roughly 15 seconds to open, Photos app 10 seconds, Whatsapp 7 seconds and so on.

I did a hard reset before updating to .164 (and got a working Lumia Camera back as a nice surprise), and now they open almost instantly.
I also noticed that the Storage Sense usage details refreshes way faster than before, both on internal memory and SD card.
Alarm was always ok to me.
On the previous build, my pc couldn't detect my phone anymore, but I have yet to try it on this one.
Overall performance is really good, so if you are suffering from the same problems, it's a nice idea to give it a try, but I restored my backup in the process, instead of the recommended fresh start.

It's also worth pointing out that hard reseting freed a nice amount of system memory usage (in Storage Sense), reducing it to 4.4GB (was around 4.8 before). To my surprise, after updating to .164 and updating all the apps, the amount was further reduced to 3.8GB. A very welcomed free space.

And I don't know about you, but sometimes, when I'm downloading a build and it fails, when I try it again, the required space goes drastically higher than it was originally (in the previous build download, from around 850MB to 1.23GB), and this was the culprit that motivated me to hard reset, since I had nothing else to remove to free actually more than the required space, and the system apps do a poor job in internal memory consumption.

try to remove sd card, and then try this:

Press and hold the power-, volume-down- and camera buttons until the phone vibrates. Then release the power-button and keep the other two buttons pressed for another five seconds. The phone should reset to factory settings.

Only turn on recovery tool after connecting phone to pc, the app might show unknown phone, just let it reset the phone.

I'm not sure if I'm missing out something here, but i used to be in the same situation as yours when updating the phone and tried to restart the phone since it was running too long, (never do that again).

Even I'm using a Lumia 925 .164 build , I only have the battery problem . The battery drains very fast. And if I use the device for 30 minutes it becomes burning hot especially from the top right corner

 

[Emanuel Manole]

Just wait a few days..

Lumia 640 - Build .164 - very smooth. Battery life on par with Windows 8.1 I would say. Cortana works flawlessy sometimes, but she says she's having trouble sometimes (even if I type my request). Great build, fluid n responsive.

Try Lumia Phone Test Application.
The more heater is normal wspecially when surfin, dialling etc. On top right corner there's the CPU

 

[Naz K]

Does anybody has the Hey Cortana feature on this build?

 

[SmoothTalk]

I am not preview build. I got this through normal update on Lumia 950XL. And yes Hey Cortana is working perfectly fine.:smile:

 

[Martin Zone]

Confirmed. .164 rolls out as an official update. 950xl, UK, installing now.

Outlook.com email syncing is still bad....as I see tons of 'feedback threads' on this...it takes a long time to sync...and now when syncing it goes to this section: Outlook.com accounts in People app are having issues too...also reported in Feedback threads...Hard reset performed, with clean install (twice-no backups..) :sweaty:

Gmail account syncs fine...
