Icon to get next windows 10 technical preview

There probably is a thread like this on Windows Central but I waited so long for Denim - which has been awesome - that I would rather avoid all this "early build stuff"!

The Windows 10 Mobile Technical Preview Bug and Issues thread - WMPoweruser

totally agree. win10 for phones is even flakier than win10 for laptops. I'm in no hurry

I had it for my Icon when it came out, was alright just buggy is all and hell on my battery. Anybody get insider slow and insider fast for the Windows insider app a couple days ago? I had finally gotten that option Friday night where as before I got the there is no preview for your phone at this time, message.

Was that on the supported device list? Or you hacked the build on? If the latter, then a poor experience was probably to be expected.

Yeah, was hacked. Just lagged a tad switching backgrounds, background pic didn't move when you scrolled up or down on the start screen, battery wasn't the greatest, the cellular toggle went missing or no option to put as and all the fonts were smaller.

Well, Microsoft BUILD conference is coming in 8 days ... does anyone think we will get an "option" for Windows 10 Insider for the Icon "BEFORE" BUILD?

Hope so.

Doesn't look like it, but maybe during or shortly after. Hopefully the version Icon gets is more stable and reliable than the current flavour.

For real this time?

cool, though I"m in no hurry to run preview code on my phone. spare laptop, ok...

I'm with you on that one. I won't put a tech preview on my main phone until it's verified to be stable.

So the Windows Insider app on my Icon just got an update. SO I ran it and instead of giving me an error about not being allowed to participate, I got to choose slow or fast ring. It rebooted my phone. I did an update check and its downloading updates. ????

UPDATE: Looks like it was starter files to get the next release.

I've done this, actually been checking daily, and still nothing. Anyone heard anything?

Cheers 🍻

Read a while ago that the difference was in the screen which is why double tap would work on the 930 but not on the 929.

Bottom line: It's Verizon's fault.

I have the Windows Insider and am on the Fast Track and when I hit phone update it tells me I am up to date. Version is 8.10.14219.341. So this Icon isn't getting Windows 10 for some reason. Oh well.

Just got the windows 10 Update. I wasn't ready for this today.

I just looked at the available phones for windows 10 and there is the icon on the list.

Yep. I'm working now and I didn't pay attention, I applied the update. Kinda screwed things up for me right now....lol
