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!

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.
