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".

 

What phone do you have?

 

The 8.1 Update 1 is only for DP enabled phones with the exception of HTC at the moment.

 

There is a website where you can track the updates per phone, per carrier, per region for Lumia Black/Cyan and 8.1

The Live Lockscreen Beta has nothing to do with some phones unable to update to the 8.1 Update 1. Microsft are aware that some people are having issues though, WPCentral has an article on this here. Someone posted in the comments with the same error code. Looks like you're going to have to wait until they fix it.

Folders are awesome for music organisation, pin playlists from Spotify and get pretty music covers.

Jesus christ I forget its 1080p, now I've noticed that the wallpaper isn't 1080p. Can't even spot that on the phone.

Yeah, Nokia Lumia 920 (UK, unbranded); still "Under Testing".

I didn't want to install the developer preview.  I'm happy to wait but shame they even started the developer preview as all I have been hearing about since May is "download WP 8.1 NOW!" - so many articles, a slow rollout.

Don't know about that problem but the one effecting HTC owners could take "weeks" to be worked out going by the new tweets Joe B posted recently.   I'm guessing, if we're lucky, us 8X owners could go right to a newer build of GDR1 instead of this first preview out now.   Remember, the 8.1 preview saw 3 updates, maybe 4? Till it went final with build 12397/12400, I doubt this is the first build of GDR1 they push out, only question is how long till the next one?

I have experienced random crashes and reboots of the Phone :/ ever since I put 8.1U on my 920. I was surprised to see my phone turned off a couple of times (had enough battery juice so that wasn't a factor) where the phone just turned itself off. I have also seen it just cold reboot when on my desk while I wasn't even using it.

In total I have counted about 7-8 instances of reboots/power offs in last 4-5 days. Anyone else? I have had probably 1-2 crashes on it ever since I bought it :laugh: so this is shocking to me.

not experiencing that on my 925. may be a model specific issue or a unique issue. i haven't heard of anyone else with that issue either so I'd recommend trying a factory restore then applying the update again

Sorry, everything works fine here. Maybe the battery is dying?

The newest Xbox Music update, yesterday, seems to have fixed performance quite a bit.  There's also some 8.1 Update 1 specific stuff in it as I expected.

Anybody have an issue with call+sms filter (found in settings) no longer working?

Doing a soft reset (holding the power button for 8 seconds) has fixed this issue for me.

 

I thought this was basically the same as just turning the phone off and on (when it's frozen), but apparently not.

This isn't related to the update but my 920 used to crash and reboot if I had the SIM card set to 4G.  Forcing it on to 3G fixed the problem for me.

These crashes started right after I updated, I never had the crash/reboot problem with 4G/3G switch.

Error 8018830f or 80188306 fixed.

 

If you were getting either of these errors while trying to update, you should be good to go now.

 

I was getting the first error, and have now been able to update my 625.

Well that's one problem down, I'm still waiting for HTC to fix whatever issues it has with the 8X, I wanted to mess around with the updated IE and folders.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.

      I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant"

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters
