Share your known issues with Windows 10 for phones

[dragon2611]

Lumia 735 here,

 

 

• Phone crashes on entering SIM pin (Workaround in one of the previous posts works)
• Some apps unstable, particularly the windows feedback up ironically enough
• Touch screen sometimes fails to respond requiring a reboot to get it going again.
• Selecting an email notification in the notification center opens up outlook calendar instead of outlook email.

 

I know it's a Beta but some of the bugs are inexcusable, e.g the SIM pin one which is readily reproducible and easy to test for.

I made my mind not to use windows 10 for phone after the first preview. After the second preview was release, there were reports of getting gdr2 which i witness a friends L635 updated to  8.1 update 2. Unlucky for me, i was taken straight  to window 10 which is a pain in the ass when using it. There are some apps+data on the phone if i revert back to 8.1 i'll loose it forever. 

 

These are the issues I'm battling it now.

-The hardware buttons (power + volume) sometimes seizes to work unless the phone is soft reset.

-Lags a lot

-Slow to responds to command

-Volume doesn't work when the screen is off

-cant turn off data which is a known issue

-Some apps and games dont work even though i have re downloaded several times

-Screen brightness is not consistence even though is set to medium brightness.

-Project spartan is jet usable so i barely launch it. Still prefer ie

-Phone sometimes for restart itself for no reason

-battery life is better than the first build

These are the few i can remember for now

 

And oh, I have the folder icons used in the new file explorer. Hope they change that.

You can not change Glance Settings.

Call Cortana in the car feature does not work. It say you have reached a number that is not active. Even though it is the same number that works on 8.1

On my 830 Cortana is not even there anymore since the last build. I really like what they have done with Outlook Mail though. Still seems real Laggy. Even on a Phone with 2GB Ram.

Hi I'm Varadharajan from India.

In my Lumia 535 have downloaded for WP10 here are the issues.

Initially it not get started simply shows only 6%.

Then have changed the time zone to pacific later get started.

Hardly taken more then 2 1/2 hours.

After rebooted the device.

Main issues are....

Device gets too slow.

Not showing Switch Down For Power Off.

Photos gets very slow for opening.

Bottom three home icons not appearing after once hidden.

Mobile Data couldn't be added in notifications list.

All apps get delayed to open.

After the above issues I have downgraded to WP 8.1 GDR 2 through a Nokia Care.

Forget to add the following in my earlier post.

Mail fonts too small.

Mail accounts deleted by error but unable to restore it.

Bottom three icons start+home+search hidden can't appears when swipe top.

There was two feedbacks shown.

All will be correct in final version.
