How did you get the beta facebook app?

How did you get the beta facebook app?

I think it's open to everyone now, but you might need to get a direct link to the store.

Here's a teardown video:

Problem is that just in a quick search, I'm not finding a replacement battery to buy.

I went ahead and bought a replacement battery online, and putting it in was really easy (only need to take out one screw). With the Build 10549 and the new battery, I get battery life at about what I had on my Icon with 8.1. It seems that starting with this build they fixed most of whatever was draining the battery, so I'm pretty happy! Might delay my 950XL purchase now.

I'm hoping that the next 10575(?) build comes soon, where we're supposed to not have to go back to 8.1 to reset... it's the only reason I didn't do 10572. But everything is running really smoothly on my Icon as it is now. A few bugs, like Fitbit requiring login a lot, some apps don't launch again after closing without launching another app inbetween, etc. But overall, very stable and good enough for daily use for me.

Has anyone had problems with the video not starting with LUMIA Camera? I press the camera button, it does it sound like it is recording but never records...works fine with WINDOWS Camera.

Yes, same for me. I don't believe it works for anyone. Don't forget to add or upvote it in freedback. Hold down lock + volume down to bring you right to the feedback app with an option to attach the screenshot (very convenient).

Thanks...still daily driving the Note 5 for now but the Icon is still firmly being tested...Daniels pictures with the 950xl today are making me jealous...

Thanks. Anyone else having the problem where contacts won't sync on facebook beta? The progress bar just hangs.

I was having that problem as well. I soft reset and tried again and it worked.

It says that my phone is not supported. I have the ICON with the latest WM10 upgrade. ?????

Will Cortana forever take me to Edge from now on or is the Cortana search format simply not on yet? (Search Cortana on 8.1: Get web, images,video etc option, Search Cortana on 10 : get edge)
And even with clean install , new build still not sending MMS, seem like I have to install new builds twice before everything goes correctly.

Battery for Nokia BV-5QW

Can't vouch for reliability or quality based on one purchase, but it arrived 3 days after my order and looks and works as described.

Lumia Camera (and beta) both just open the camera, and continually say "Saving..." They won't do a thing. Windows Camera works some of the time. Often when taking a still, it crashes the app. Oddly, this hasn't happened when shooting video... Yet...

I've had general problems with the camera in this last build...can stay on PROCESSING for a long time too...waiting on this next build.

New build out now. Fixes Hey Cortana.

 

[hopmedic]

Hopefully 10581 will fix a number of things not mentioned in Gabe's post. Installing now.

 

[shawnmos]

This build is even faster than the last one.
