Re: Lumia 520, 720, 920, 1020, 1320 Owners

I had Windows 10 Mobile for over three months. Since .29 version, the Glance never launched. The Camera app did not have autofocus when recording a video - I had to manually focus while recording. There were other performance issues. I hoped for a firmware update and then W10M.
The three year support promise was a lie. They tactically delayed the OS and deprived some devices of it. Support time should have been from October 2012 to October 2015. Performance excuse is not true. Given their history of "un-trustworthiness", I already suspected and they did what I feared.

Glance and autofocus worked on mine after a hard reset.
On 920 and 1020

I don't think they'll not release w10m for flagship devices like L820,925,920,1020,822 and Icon also the HTC one M8, when they can run TP very well then why they can't get the same build as Official?
WTF Microsoft??

I own a 925, its working like a charm except some resuming, obviously it can't be the issue, this is not rocket science ro fix that, c'mon its the Tech Giant Microsoft.

I think there are a Second badge with those device which have 1GB and 8GB Internel, which is enough for Windows 10.

Can't say anything about 512mb ram devices. I think they should install the latest Insider build if they want to taste w10 so.

I have had a Lumia 520 since September 2013. I made a short stop to Android with an S3 shortly afterwards but I was so disappointed with the S3 I turned back quickly. After the latest news this seems the end of the road for my Lumia 520, maybe for Windows phone for me overall. I am very disappointed from the lack of apps and vision on behalf of Microsoft. They had such a good OS but failed to shape it properly. I am wondering how they think they can recover while not paying attention to the few users they have left.

Just to know if I understand correctly:
The listed phones in the blog article receive official W10M today, and will get redstone insider updates and after release official redstone updates. All phones which are not on the list will stay officially on W8.1 and if they use the insider preview, they get W10M with build 102586.164 and updates for this build (102586.XXX) until redstone is released.

Is this correct?
If so, could it be possible to get somehow unofficial redstone builds for this phone?

It's correct.

I own 925 too and I'm sad too about this situation. Unfortunaly Gabe Aul has confirmed many times in Twitter that those were only phones to get the official update

I'm mad because of utterly false argumentation. If performance issues are reason for such short list of supported devices, first phone which should not be on this list is Lumia 950! From day one it didn't work well running windows 10. I really doubt that MS got positive feedback from 950 users.

My Lumia 950 is lightning fast.

Nice, but you are missing a point - MS kicked from upgrade vagon large number od devices perfectly capable to handle windows 10 with explanation that S4 devices can't handle windows 10 well. I'm just saying that even 950 didn't run well when MS released it because windows 10 itself wasn't ready for daily use. So how come that people with windows 10 capable device and we with windows 10 incapable devices have same bugs? And how a reason for this bugs on my phone is that my phone isn't capable to run windows 10, but reason for your bugs is that windows 10 is imature?
And one more thing - my 950 is also fast running windows 10.

That support time ran out it's 2016...how was it a lie?

True.. 950 was **** in terms of stability.. After some updates it ran w10 very well and is very stable now.. If they can make a 950 stable with a couple of update then why cant these devices ne optimized for w10 and make it run well too with a couple of updates

I am using W10M on L720. A bit disappointed but I cannot buy a new device right now because of two reasons. First my L720 has no problems whatsoever as far as hardware performance is concerned. The display, camera, speakers, touch, everything works as good as a new device should work. Thanks to Nokia for providing such a superb build quality.
The second reason is that there is no Lumia 750 or 850 in market right now. L650 is not available in India and is on the lower side. L950 is too costly. So I will stick with L720 running Windows insider build.

Its because they dont want to waste time for firmware updates for all S4 devices which is legit, but just dont lie for reasons behind this decission. And don't make it based on our feedback.

True.. By this way they are forcing us to dump our old phones & buy their new phones and make money.. MS is evil.. :/

Re: Lumia 520, 720, 920, 1020, 1320 Owners

Albeit not getting the update with my 925, I understand their decision.

The journey with W10 continues, and if they have always to look to older devices which have some older chipsets, it wil hamper them.
Overall, it is a good decision, which I'm sure they didn't made lightheartedly.

WP 8.1 runs still well. You don't have to buy a new one.

If that was the thing why did they announce it at the beginning that everyone would get it. Now they announce at the end that its only for some devices when everyone was hoping for official rollout.. And its not just old phones with old hardware.. Icon and m8 are left out too.. W10 not running properly on old hardware is an excuse.. I use 720 and i have only 2 issues- freezing and 'loading' while opening sys apps like phone,messaging which can be fixed with a couple of updates. W10 is total BS.. If their not giving all the insider preview phones then w10 is a big fail and i wish it fails and WP dies for what they did to us
