Windows Phone 8.1 Update: 8.10.14219.341 released today (12/5)

I do not know what the update is about. If you know something please post it here. :)

It's a Cortana language update and now you can turn on and off cellular data via quick action, sadly still no flashlight quick action.

Does this update solve Lumia 1020/925 random freeze as well?

Potentially.

There should be a number of bug fixes in this update, but it's mostly a Cortana expansion update.  Don't expect much till update 2, we're not there yet.

Hmmm. it didn't fix 1020 freeze. After the update, it froze within 5 hours. I guess the fix is still in the future...

I installed the update on my Lumia 928 shortly after it was released and I have not noticed any changes other than having a quick toggle for Cell Data.

Darn, I was hoping for this.

 

I read somewhere they fixed bluetooth issues also. Since the last update sounds like my speakers are shorting...

I was hoping that they will fix the notifications bugs on Windows Phone 8.1.....

What notification bugs? Mine work fine as far as I've seen.

Has anyone experienced a battery drain with this update?

 

I have a Lumia 820 WP8.1 Dev Prev and getting less than ? a day usage.

 

Any info on how to rectify this battery drain issue is appreciated :)

Can I get the Lumia Denim update if I'm on the Developer Preview or are we off the usual update channel?

[George P Global Moderator]

From what I remember, they said firmware updates will go to users on the developer preview as well now.

Facebook Messenger, Skype, Viber, and others don't show up on my cell phone Lumia 521 here.

I wonder if the notification bug might only apply to certain devices, I've got the 830 on the DP and do get notifications for Skype and FB Messenger. I haven't used Viber yet, even though I have it installed.

Skype and FB messenger show up fine for me on the 8X with the newest developer preview build. The only issue I had early on is that they'd show up twice, but that was fixed.
