Upgrade experience for Lumia 540 from 8.1 denim to 14393.103

I have a new lumia 540 which I decided to upgrade to windows 10 mobile 14393.103

I downloaded and installed windows upgrade advisor app, ran it, configured the device and started downloading the update.

The update took about 20 minutes to download, another hour to install. it had installed 10586.107. Then I checked for updates again, took another 20 minutes to download update 2 and 40 minutes to install. Now my phone was on 14393.67. At this point, I did a factory reset from settings

The reset took about 25 minutes, then I started the phone afresh. I did not restore anything from old backups, just a fresh start. Took some time setting up, added 2 emails, updated 21 apps, removed other apps like news and finance etc. I then downloaded about 15 apps I needed

I wanted the release preview so I went into settings, signed in and selected release preview - took another hour downloading and installing that

Checked for app updates again, had 10 more. Weather app is now stuck, it won't uninstall.

So far no bugs noticed or encountered. I guess the total process took about 5 hours. I wasn't checking on time, just letting it do it's stuff

I have noticed a couple of peculiarities which I'll post in a separate post

for me build 103 was a battery drainer , there were minor bugs in outlook mail and calendar app where the system date will change to 6 September but the tile will show the date of the previous day 5 sept ( live tile broken). so rolled back to 67, build feed servers already show a new build 14393.185 under testing. also the Tuesday patch is coming week so will wait for the official CU :D

I don't have calendar tile pinned so I wouldn't notice that- I don't use the calendar at all except to check which date is what day

Is your Outlook Calendar and Mail tile updating okay on .67 ?
The Calendar tile on my phone changes to Outlook icon after an event is over and at midnight .Mail tile does not show new mail or change back after I finish reading a mail.I am on .67.Both need resizing every time.

Sorry ,I know this is not related to this thread.Just wanted to know as I rely on the Calendar tile a lot.

Thanks for the information.There seems to be a widespread problem with Mail and/or Calendar tile.

you might have a point on battery, seems faster than it should be though I'm still trying to find my rhythm

Tried the new .105 build? Any idea on download size?

how could we know that now, you just find your phone with spinning gears randomly, I think .67 had the best battery life, lets see how .105 turns out

I'm installing .105 now, download size was 31.5MB as stated by the update service, I'll have to confirm with my own data usage service

Installed .105 build, seems the same. Did a soft reset to clear a funny error where I couldn't see the signal or time or anything -just a white strip

data usage seems to be broken, again, stuck with 300mb used, setting a new limit or removing it doesnt reset it, reboots and soft resets, nothing, its just stuck there

Installed .105 on my 830 yesterday, everything fine so far

GPS has an issue locating on maps -workaround is to open whatsapp and then use that to search for location - then the maps app works okay
Maps also uses a lot of data when using GPS

The new insider builds run like a champ on my phones. A few bugs are there, but they are no deal breakers.

Normal. Download your area in sd card, so you can limit your batt drainage too
