Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 rollout, post if you have it


Recommended Posts

I would not worth to much about cyan at this point as the content it provides you will eventually get from app updates. And then you will be on a newer version anyway so you are getting even more stuff

They fixed the UI with gmail in internet explorer mobile but didn't for Google Plus. What the hell?

 

They didn't fix the UI, they just tricked Google to show them the good version of the mobile site, and not an intentionally crippled down version.

Updated yesterday morning.  Most of my apps were "installing" after boot, probably due to being on the sdcard.  3 apps, including the new live lock screen (which was installed to internal) refused to "install" and I had to uninstall them and then reinstall them from the store.  Other than that no issues.

Still nothing for HTC users, thanks HTC!   Can't do anything but wait at this point.

 

You do have the Preview for Developers app installed and set up, right?  HTC isn't rolling this out.  Microsoft is.

Yeah but, it's been posted by MS and reported by others, that some phones need a driver/firmware update first before they can get GDR1, HTC basically.  :(

Yup, looks like all the Lumias are getting it now while others, on HTC, have to wait.   Bummer, just means my next phone will be a Lumia unless HTC works on it's support, who am I kidding though.

good, & Cyan just started rolling out for the 925 in the US last night. hopefully it'll reach my phone soon. in the mean time enjoying the improvements in update 1 :)

Got it and it is awesome so far.

 

The main thing that I have noticed is the lock screen beta is a lot quicker with update 1. Smoother and doesn't glitch as much.

 

I was running it before getting update 1 and still am.

 

Aside from that Cortana is epic. I have setup places, and reminders when im leaving my house, arriving at work etc, so useful.

Ok.  I just thought that was odd.  My friend with the HTC 8X had no problem updating to 8.1, but I don't know if he's even attempted to install this yet.

Forget about Update 1, I haven't even got 8.1 yet.

 

This is what I fear is happening to releases these days.  There is no drive to give a final release because everyone just uses the Beta/Pre-release anyway.  Then, if it goes wrong, the company can claim "well, it IS under testing".

    • Excuse me, but where did I say they need to subsidize them? I'm simply pointing out they would rather have profits over caring about the impact to the consumer. It's up to you to decide then.
    • Shocker! It would be crazy to be ready to introduce a "fold" phone but have no plans happening for a followup model.
    • XBOX is at the end of its generational life cycle and wasn't selling much anyway. They need to figure out the pricing for XBOX Helios. However, I'm not buying the DRAM shortage with AI preferring HBM. I think it's industry gouging.
    • Amazon Prime Day 2026: Best Dolby soundbar deals from Sony, Samsung, JBL, Polk, and more by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered the JBL BAR 800 which is a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos/Vision soundbar. The unit is on sale for its lowest ever price of just $800 making it a solid offer. However, there are many more options to choose from and in this article, we have made a compilation of the best deals including from Sony, Polk, Yamaha, Denon, Samsung and more. Sony's BAR models are currently at their lowest prices which makes them solid offerings. The company's BRAVIA Theatre Bar lineup is designed to suit different home cinema needs. The Bar 5 is an entry-level 3.1-channel soundbar with a wireless subwoofer, supporting Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X, S-Force PRO Front Surround, and Vertical Surround Engine for immersive audio with clear dialogue. The Bar 6 upgrades to a 3.1.2-channel configuration by adding dedicated up-firing speakers for more convincing overhead Atmos effects while retaining the wireless subwoofer. At the premium end, the Bar 7, Bar 8, and flagship Bar 9 are single-soundbar solutions featuring Sony’s 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which creates phantom speakers for a wider surround field. Bar 7 includes nine speaker units, Bar 8 increases this to eleven, and Bar 9 offers thirteen speaker driver units promising the most expansive soundstage and acoustic performance. All models should integrate seamlessly with compatible BRAVIA TVs and support the BRAVIA Connect app for setup and control.
