Re: The Windows Phone Thread

the OS has become more fluid and faster.
everything working smoothly
no hiccups yet, all things working fine for me, especially cortana

Assuming you have a L520.

No screen re-draws when you press the windows button to come to the homescreen abruptly from apps ?

:)
i remember that it was mentioned in the settings that it was currently updated to Lumia Black.
Is this the latest update for 520 or is there another one coming ?? :)

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

any other issues like quick battery draining etc, or has battery life improved in 8.1 developer preview??
 
Re: The Windows Phone Thread

Finally I upgraded to WP 8.1 in my Lumia 920. But where is Cortana? Despite I changed the settings to US language to US English and restarted. I don't see Cortana. Is it the indian English settings, that not letting Cortana installed? I can't remove indian English settings.

Two questions.
1. Can I update to WP8.1 using mobile data?
2. I developed an App for WP8 and moved the XAP file to my SD card. But, I don't see the "sd card" option in the store. BTW, I have restarted the phone twice. Still, I don't see the "sd card" option.

Change region settings to English (US)

Change language to English US
Your phone will start downloading the speech data and keyboard settings.

Reboot phone and voila Cortana is ready. That was how I enabled on my phone i.e. Lumia 525

People on WP8.1 - DO NOT update the Music app if prompted. Retarded update just about made the music part unusable on my phone. :|
 
Re: The Windows Phone Thread

in 8.1 where has the option to keep wifi always on gone?

It is not there anymore in the current build of 8.1 preview. A workaround to this "stupid" blunder by MS is changing the screen timeout option to Never.

P.S. I spotted you in the WPCentral forums last night. I'm registered there too, if you didn't know. :D

Xbox music eh? Yea, you're screwed.

Good thing I didn't go for it last night. Downloaded the pre-update and for some reason I held back. And boom, now I see people's phones getting bricked left, right and center. Or lag, or cellular data not working, or WiFi issues, or battery drainage, or Cortana not working properly. So many major bugs in the update... thank goodness I didn't. Gonna wait for a month to see if MS rolls out further updates to fix the glaring issues.

Good you didnt update... all us impatient folks are paying for it. I was using a 720 on WP 8.0 and I actually was missing the smooth feel.
8.1 is a brilliant update but it is beta. It definitely stutters at time. I'm on a 920 and I can only imagine people on 520's.

Everybody should at least wait for a few bug fix updates before going for 8.1

There might be a way to re-flash your ROM back to wp8.0 GDR3 using NSU for Retail. I'm not sure though. :/

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

There's also the battery drain issue... when you use it... it literally sucks up the battery... Don't know why, maybe this will get fixed with updates or with Lumia Cyan firmware

- - - Updated - - -

Another thing I was hoping to get rid of was easy access tiles and how could Msoft miss the data toggle in the action centre ! they have it for wifi but not for Mobile data! :evil:
