Lumia 950 bugged like crazy after last update

[dda_k]

Like the topic says. It's gone haywire, random restarts, automatic brightness doesn't work, keyboard doesn't appear, battery drains like crazy, I charge phone 2 times a day now!! It's slow, whenever I unlock the phone the screen doesn't turn on immediately(only after like 5 seconds) and the same happens with calls, I don't know who's calling me because the screen doesn't turn on. It's just a huge mess. I could do a hard reset without restoring but going through getting all the apps again etc... Don't want to do that.

Also one time I couldn't get notification centre down. I restarted the phone, did soft resetl ocked and blocked many times, I just couldn't get it to work.

Sincerely:
Do a hard reset with backup, but stay far waway Insider Rings. As name says, that's testing purpose. Hard reset with Windows Device Recovery Tool, and take the official build . which works great on your device especially after last firmware update.
Consider you'll get your device full operative automatically in one morning using wifi (it will download automatically your apps)

Yeah, I did that and now I lost my start screen, no apps are downloading just showing 'pending'. Ugh, Windows 10!!!! Come on! I'm not new user, I'm already using windows for many years on my phone and it's just making life harder for me...

Patience is key. Pending will change to downloading and the features you are dying to have will be released to the general public next year. You are the general public, not a developer who is using Insider on a test device. Read the terms and conditions, please.

Yeah, but I've been on Insider programme for years now and this is the FIRST time that I've gone through such trouble.

If you restore a backup from a newer insider build (RS2) onto an official build, the start screen will not work. I experienced the same with my Lumia 950. A hard reset without restore fixed the problem. Also I'm running the insider build again but had to do another hard reset to make it stable. . What I do is take a screen shot of my start screen to use for reference when I set it up again and then go to "My Library" in the Store and download all my apps again. My contacts and text messages still come back when I connect my Microsoft account. It's just the nature of running insider builds. Not really a big deal for me as I've done it many times before, both on my phone and my computer. As others stated, stick with the official build if you have a problem with it.

are you a fast ring insider or release preview?

New builds of fast ring and highly experimental and bugged because of the early developmental stage. Its normal to face new bugs which are not logged by Microsoft. If you are very dis-satisfied you can roll back using WDRT

Pending apps install is no problem they install overnight smoothly.:smile:

fast insider (if that is what you've chosen) is always a risk - there have been serious bugs in the fast ring before like the one in 14926 where you couldn't enter the lock screen pin

After the MSG update my phone went from frustrating to ZERO bugs or glitches, extra camera features and a lot faster, apps download over data connection in no time at all, very pleased now following the latest update. Lumia-950

After recent changes in recent builds, Glance Screen no longer works with Battery Saver, question is, is there a way to make Glance Screen work with Battery Saver? Glance Screen does not seem to be in background tasks, to change it to always work...

 

[Rosebank]

Glance screen does indeed work on my 950 with battery saver ON.
glance screen settings are now in PERSONALISATION and not in EXTRAS.

What the... with Battery Saver on, in Glance Screen settings it is instantly off, and when I switch it on, leave it, enter again and it is off again, the moment I turn off Battery Saver it is ON. By the way, on what build you are?

 

[Rosebank]

Build .189. No bugs or issues I can think of.

Then you do not have these changes yet, it is only on recent Fast insider builds.
