Windows Phone 8.1 "Apollo Plus"

Would people consider the lack of volume control a 'fix'?

Yep!
Along with (for me)

Better notifications (lock screen & banner across the top)
IE10 improvements (most already mentioned on here)
Overhaul of XBM (predominantly the way it handles metadata)

Four months with only bug fixes.... They are making sure I will not get a WP again?

Windows Phone needs little feature additions and bugs fixes more than anything else. If Microsoft keeps on releasing stuff like DataSense and Wallet instead of those, they will be making sure I will not get a WP again.

Obviously, MS will release only unneeded features and bug fixes, in WP8 future upgrades. All the rest, will be released in WP9, WP10, etc. and will require you to buy new phones.

So when this update is coming ?

I've been gaming a lot latterly, and have missed more than one call due to the volume issue. I'd love to see that addressed. (i.e. separate media & phone volume)

My only complaints are a way to close apps from multitasking screen like webOS, a better voice assistant (Bing Now, anyone?), and wallpapers or designs for start screen. Mostly cosmetic changes.

If I am not mistaken, didn't they fix the WiFi bug in Portico? I know I have an option in my WiFi settings to keep WiFi on while the screen is locked.

i don't get it, i don't have this so called wifi bug, also the wifi network search is turned off while lock screen which adds a ton more time to your battery, cause it doesn't keep searching for signals every time u move or lose signal.
maybe i just don't notice. but i'm not over 50 mb of traffic and i'm at 14 days since my month started (with wifi at home and at work).

also this:

Yeah, it's fixed. Someone (for their first post!) bumped an old thread from the beginning of December.

Edit: For clarification, this is the thread that was bumped. This is an old thread from December, pre-Portico, to anyone who sees this

I have used 2GB in 12 days of my billing cycle with an identical use case of my iPhone 4. On my iPhone 4, the most data I used in a month is 1.5 GB when including streaming Slingbox for ~1 full football game.

On WP8, I have done nothing nearly as data intensive and am connected to wifi at home and work (so 90% of the time), yet am on pace to to use over 3 times as much data...

Then you need to turn off background processes and check your app settings. I don't have a data issue at all.

Hopefully battery bug is fixed, hate soft resetting phone after every charge to stop draining, plus the percentage boosts up.

This issue you quoted was pre-Portico and with the same use case a month later, this issue is fixed post-Portico. It was purely related to streaming audio and using BT headphones. When I would hit pause on the headphones, wifi would turn off since the screen was off. When hitting play on the headphones, wifi would not resume since the screen stayed off resulting in the majority of my streaming being cellular instead of wifi.

After using BB7, Android, iOS, WP7.5 and now WP8 wich is a good OS with many plusses and my favorite, i still would like to see following improvements.

-IE10 Desktop to mobile bookmarks sync.
-Xbox Movies & Music purchase improvements (ecosystem wide availability of purchases W(P)8(RT) + Xbox 360).
-Vpn should be included (mandatory for business).
-Seperate volume controls.
-Notification center.
-Cal/Cardav.

-Also porting apps from iOS/Android should be made easier and better.


Most improvemts have been discussed already, this is my list of most important changes that should be adressed.

Yeah, I'm bewildered this has been an ongoing issue. My old Nokia N95 from 2006, running Symbian for frick's sake---Symbian!!----had no problem with independent volume control.

I've noticed that I've got access to another bandwidth. Pre-Portico I had G, E, 3G, H, H+ (no LTE as I have unlimited 3G instead). Now I've seen 3G+...

Notification centre and push notifications fix for the next update im hoping!
