I gave up on the music app, and generally just tend to use the Cloud Muzik app for google music. But if they ever do the music locker service we heard rumors of a while back to store music on your one drive and play through the xbox music app then i would switch rather quickly.

I don't really use the Music app that much, but I do use the Podcast app everyday. The major thing that has been quite annoying is when loading podcasts off of the SD card my phone will crash and reboot itself about 90% of the time. I've tried looking for the Podcast app on the app store to leave feedback, but it doesn't exist there, so I've been leaving it on the Music app's ratings section. I'm guessing even though they have been made into separate apps they are still tied together somehow. I've worked around this by having it download all podcasts to the internal memory. 

 

Anyway, hopefully this update addresses SD card issues.

Installed on my At&t 920. What I want to know now is if Cyan firmware is going to be offered too me when released now that I'm one OS version ahead. I've had terrible wi-fi/call reception since the 8.1 update. Surely Microsoft has considered not everyone has cyan?

I remember reading that Cyan will come regardless of if you get 8.1U1 or not, they're not tied to each other in some way and there is no order that you need to get them in.

I have installed in on Lumia 930 unlocked on EE and in the UK.  Seems nice so far, although Cortana does not seem to be good as the USA version as half the searches she does for me are just web results.

That should be fixed tomorrow according to Marcus Ash. Apparently they're in the process of uploading all the bits to Bing.

Has anyone noticed the short resuming message when waking your phone up? I'm not sure what that's about but I don't like it.

 

Have you used the Live Lockscreen Beta? If so, it's caused by that. It can be fixed by turning Kids Corner on and then off again after uninstalling the Live Lockscreen Beta.

I'm waiting at this point. Last time I installed an upgrade (8.1), alarms didn't work. Plus, is it safe to install without Cyan?

 

Rolling with 920 here as well. No issues, apart from the Live Tiles not working immediately after the install since I got an SMS right after the install finished and the tile didn't update. But I restarted the phone and that fixed it.

Thank you, that was it!

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn guns and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.

      Recycle Bin has been broken for literal YEARS now. The setting to delete files older than 30 days from the bin which is on by default doesn't even work. I have files older than 4 months in it and they are just there still...

      They’re really desperate to ingrain AI into society hoping to tug the heart strings of public to jump unto the boat of destruction to humanity’s individualism.
