Today's update doesn't appear to have changed anything. Still no MMS.
I assume you're using an ATIV S?

Installed latest June update and hard reset, ringtone bug, camera bugs, and broken automatic apn settings all remain, but these are really minor annoyances, 8.1 is well worth it. But I hope Samsung launches official firmware that takes care of these bugs. Battery life remains incredible and I really see no reason to upgrade from the Ativ S, unless I shatter the screen or something.
Well, over here it's dreadfull.. The first 8.1 DP was fine on my Ativ S, no big issues, aside from some small ones like the ringtone reset after a reboot. The last update though, patching the phone to s/w version 8.10.12393.890, messed up my phone completely.
I think some drivers that were working properly before, have been totally messed up by this update. In the morning, when I get downstairs where the phone is, the phone is unresponsive after unlocking. The notification center won't display, and apps won't start. I can however, swipe to the right to the list of installed programs. Even worse, when it acts like this, i'm not able to receive any phone calls. When i call the phone in this mode, the screen lights up, but there is no ringtone, no vibration, no screen showing that someone is calling.. That's all dandy considering I should be available on night shifts using this phone. But after missing the call, the phone live tile does refresh showing a "1 missed call". Sometimes, it snaps out of this mode after some time. Mostly though, it needs a power down to function again properly. I think it might be Wifi related though. Had the exact same issue whe the phone was trying to connect to the wifi at work this morning. Completely unresponsive for some time. Became responsive after succesfully connecting to wifi. So i might try the "keep Wifi on when screen times out option" to see if this solves the problem. Also, it doesn't happen during daytime. Only after a long period at night of just lying on the table it seems.
Also, bluetooth is messed up for me after the last update. I can turn it on and off, works OK. When i turn it on in the car, the phone tries to connect to my Pioneer car radio. This has always worked flawlessly, for hand free calling and a2dp.. After the last update however, it's totally messed up. I can turn on bluetooth, and when the car radio tries to connect, the Ativ either reboots on it's own, or doesn't connect at at. When it doesn't connect, and i subsequently try to turn off bluetooth again on the Ativ, i am unable to turn it off. Again, since this was working flawlessly for me before, i think it's also driver related.
Anyone recognising any of those 2 issues on their Ativ S?
Since these issues I performed a hard reset with a restore of apps. Only thing i didn't try, was another reset without restore of apps. Might try that, but i don't think it'll solve my issues.
Yep. Went from stock factory, to GDR2, to GDR3, to 8.1 preview. No problems whatsoever, until the latest update.
The factory reset hasn't helped what so ever. I did however choose to perform a reset without restore of apps. Might try that this weekend.
It's the ATIV S i8750, first one.
I've been looking on the internet, and found some other people having the same porblems, however, nothing which seemed to be related to 8.1 DP specifically. So I guess i'm having to try a hard rest without restore of settings/apps. Again.
Well, the lockups in the morning seem to be gone. After some testing, selectively installing apps, and reading some more on these forums, i've narrowed it down to one app. Clock Hub. Needs some further testing, but it looks liek that was the culprit. So, i'm left with a car cit that doesn't connect to my phone after the last update. Bummer. Hoping Samsung will release an update for the Ativ S with better drivers for bluetooth than the standard Microsoft ones.Those issues seem even more odd to me now as I have that same model . A reset without restoring settings and apps would be a good idea then you can see if it's an app or setting causing the issues :wink:

I sure hope so, cause not being able to receive calls when using my handsfree really sucks. Esp. since it did work properly before.Glad to hear that you managed to sort the problem out, Samsung will have updated firmware available after 8.1 hits GA.
Today my Ativ S got me really pissed off.. Put sd card totally unawailable, none of the apps I had on it can't start! Also the card got unusable, and I don't have a backup of those apps (mostly games with lot of time spent upgrading) lost about 6 gb that was stored on my 32gb class 10 card. WTF M$?! Why is the simplest thing as comunicating with sd card so fu.kin hard, and buggy?!! ��
