Not excited about new build as there's nothing new in 10586, for me 10581 stable enough as daily driver.

yup, 10581 is decently stable.... but we're Insiders.... we want more

Yeah I know :-) but more is more or less same what we already have, mean more is no more :-D

My biggest complaints about 10581 are performance and battery life. Granted, I'm on a 920 that I've had for 1.5 years, but 8.1 was *butter* on it, and would still be at 90% at the end of a work day (I don't use it much during work hours, so that's mostly standby time). Fix those things, life will be great. Add stability, life will be perfect.

For me on L535 battery is good, what I need is better integration with Windows 10 desktop, some kind of app or something to access call and text, if I'm not wrong send / receive text was there in Nokia PC Suite during old Nokia days.

I agree with you, Nokia PC Suite was just great. I could send dozens of messages at a go from there.

seriously? I tried it from 8.1 and it's a DOWNGRADE - so much is still broken it's not even funny.. RTM? - you're having a laugh !!

Easy buddy, its just my opinion, nothing serious. 10581 is working good for majority, of course there are bug fixing and other fine tuning they need to do before RTM, but we're not going to get many new features, they've already added most of announced features expect some camera and lock screen stuff.

I use Project My Screen App for texting from desktop but without keyboard support its not that good. This app need keyboard and mouse input options like Windows Mobile Emulator in SDK.

I can't wait to get both my phone and surface updated this weekend. I am going to put 581 on my 1020. I want to try that cool text from my surface using Cortana. That will be awesome. I can sit at my desk, table etc, and communitcate without having to use my phone all the time. quicker and easier. That's cool stuff!

[mnsiw]

Not that cool without incoming text option on desktop.

Since we already have automatic backup of texts from phone to cloud, and desktop has access to same cloud, it shouldn't be too hard to make your texts appear on desktop.

You mean 'Sync messages between devices' option on phone? Do I have to enable something on desktop Messaging app?

[beachedwhale42]

We can now send texts from desktop thanks to Cortana...it actually works really well, and is a much better implementation of "text from PC" than anything else (because it still sends the message via SMS). I'm guessing they're still working on incorporating it into the Messaging app, but they've at least connected the pipeline of data as a starting point. This will either be in an app update in the future, or maybe a new build next spring.

What about astoria project... ?

Messaging>Settings>History&Sync>Sync messages between devices
Is there a way I can sync messages between mobile and desktop version of Messaging? I did not find any such setting on desktop version of Messaging.

I have a Lumia 1520 and I updated from WP8.1 straight to build 10586 yesterday and did a hard reset afterwards. My battery has been draining pretty badly today.

Anyone knows if this should get better over the next day or so? Or should I go back to WP8.1.

Battery life is the main reason I'm on Windows Phone in the first place, though I came to love WP for other reasons. (Couldn't take Android anymore after my original HTC One M7 was dying on me after like 10 hours of use or so).

For the first hours / days, system updates all core and added apps. It takes time and energy. Check your updates area in Store.
Then re-check the backgroud app policy again: with upgrades, they are resetted to On / Allowed. And there's a lot of apps battery drainig, such as facebook and skype for now

It's not there yet but you can tell that's where it's heading.
