Good question, I'm guessing August 1 is the end.Do we know what the final deadline is yet?
Do we know what the final deadline is yet?
It was done since they announced that some devices could not handle w10m...
"As stated before, unsupported devices will not receive any builds or updates newer than 10586.x"
So basically if you're on the release preview ring or production ring, you can stay on it, but there will no longer be any updates for you. That's what it means.
The interesting bit is "Unsupported devices can still use the Windows Device Recovery Tool to recover to Windows Phone 8.1, but will not have the option to return to Windows 10 Mobile".
So basically any old/unsupported device, that didn't have the TH builds installed, before this move happens, will be stuck on 8.1 and won't even be able to get the TH builds :/
I am running TH2 on my Lumia 630 & i don't want to roll back to WP 8.1 as in W10M i got some quality apps which are not available in WP 8.1. What is worrying me is that after 2nd August will those app stop functioning in unsupported devices ? If not then what types of problems we can face in future? I don't care about new OS updates,only want 3rd party apps in working condition.

somehow missed article about this on WC
did ms just gave 2 days notice?
so if i reset my "unsupported" phone what version will i get?
you are right
everybody checks ms forums everyday
for 8.x it will be exactly like in 7.8 daysIf you think about it, it's going to be a headache for MS too, to have phones back on 8.x, while all the newer services are targeted at 10.x...
