For some very odd reason my Lumia 1520 has reverted the home screen animation from the new wp 8.1 to the old WP 8 one. I have a Lumia 1520 and 520 on 8.1 and their home screen animations are different. It's anyone else experiencing it?

Yeah mine seems to be like the old one now, I had thought I'd just gotten used to the new one so it didn't stand out anymore, good call!!

It could be that you have removed or unassigned photo for your Start background. Go to setting>start+theme..then choose a photo. If you have removed or have choosen to unassign a photo it will revert back the traditional WP Start theme.
 
It's due to yesterday extra+ info update on Lumia phones... All who have updated that extra+ info update have returned their phones to old wp8 animations... AND YES AFTER THAT BATTERY BACKUP HAS INCREASED NOTICEABLY.
 
Have not noticed anything, at least the battery 🔋 backup improvement part looks good to me, I will compare it with the emulator though..
 
Ok..I haven't noticed any changes at all as all I care about is I am using a WP, which I love.
 
No change here on my 820. I kind of doubt an update to extras+info would change things like OS animations although that would be awesome. 8.0's animations were better IMO.
 
I am not a fan of the old animations, but it will have to make do. I'm glad that I wasn't the only one experiencing this problem.

Wow, I did not realize that until now. I'm on the fence regarding the animations, I like them both. I think I prefer the new ones though...
Hmm, that was as odd change. I wonder why. Maybe because the slightly longer (at least in feel) animations masks lag?
 
I uninstalled extras+info and animations back to 8.1 transitions after I restart the phone.




The may be some optimizations with the last update to extras and info. I am not sure what negatives of doing this would be.
