Windows 10: Announcing Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Build 10581

Nice, I'm installing it now

 

This build installed with no issues, everything seems to be working fine so far.

 

Ditto!

Many things working that did not in the last build, and working better, I might add.

Vast improvements to Maps and Navigation; (rivals my TomTom!) *Wink

 

Just realized, I didn't get the oobe experience, and the keep your life in sync screen when it rebooted. Doing a reset to get everything back right.

 

That did the trick, updating apps now.

 

- heh, heh..!! *chuckle

Hey, I've just had a go on the Cortana/Desktop text-link..




..really neat, you can send mobile texts directly from your desktop!! *Smile




..keef'll love it..!! *Cool

 

- that is super-cool.. *Cool

 

Yes. Lost for good. Phone with wallet case. To tell you the truth I think it dropped out of my pocket while getting into the Jeep in the parking lot, then ran it over. It was dead trying to locate it in my MS account online when I got home that night. When I called it with my wife's phone it went straight to voicemail, so it was dead. Then I think someone picked it up, kept the $40, bank & credit cards (which weren't used and immediately canceled, my DL, and threw it in the trash. Everything has been replaced. Got the same Lumia 1520 "baby" phablet. *Wink

It seems this new build is pretty stable, eh? And lots of nice new features too I see. I may go for it.

 

Hi there. Can you receive texts on your PC? With Skype I can send, but cannot receive.

 

they should really enable the Cortana for other countries too and use some other database then. hate it to run my phone as american with english language to use it on phone. cant use it on my laptop either cause auto-updated to finnish!

otherway works like a charm, smooth camera and photo handling now, all the apps that i use working great. few times messaging wont open or if it opens, itll close instantly but i can live with that (Lumia 920)

 

- the ability to receive phone texts may well be part of the proposed Redstone update, next year..
Redstone update for Windows 10 to bring greater connectivity between PC and smartphone

- there are also clues here, relating to the "Fall Update" - possibly next week (??)
Threshold 2 now reported to launch on next Patch Tuesday

- looking good.. *Biggrin

 

Yes you can, both in the 'Messaging' app and the Skype UI.

 

OK. How's that configured? I read documentation that it wouldn't. Of course my replacement phone wasn't up and running yet and not registered in My Devices in MS account. Is that what it takes?

 

Pretty much. As long as you're signed into the apps with your MS account.

 

Post time: 6:40PM. My Lumia 635 has been playing music constantly since 6:00AM and battery level is 65%! *Smile
