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


Recommended Posts

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

I uninstalled the lockscreen beta, then turned on and off kids corner and it still fails installing the developer preview on my Lumina 520 (has 2.5gb free space on the phone and 3gb on the micros card) same error 0x80188308 any other ideas?

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.

    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features. Grab the discounted Apple Watch Series 11 (sold and shipped by Amazon) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • The laptop in the bedroom is an Acer with i7-10510U CPU. Acer's website states they will not be upgrading it so I had little choice other than disable secure boot. I know next to nothing on these matters so hopefully it will be fine.
    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
