Windows 10 Mobile is pretty slick now. No slight pause anymore when logging in with Device Encryption on and adding a camera button to the lockscreen is a nice touch.

Only encountered two problems. The first is they must have changed the way the Alarms app handles 'Daylight Savings Time', because the alarm decided to wake me up an hour early today at GMT time, instead of British Summer Time. Then to top it off, it wasn't possible to turn the alarm off, as hitting dismiss just made it keep going off again. Nice. Deleting all the saved alarms and re-adding them seems to have cured it though.

The second is Microsoft have decided to give yet another one of their apps one of those hideously obnoxious tiles. Yup, the Skype Preview app now follows Word, Excel, Powerpoint, OneNote, etc. is having a non-customisable, grotesque tile. Dear Microsoft, if you decide that you're going to override the users settings and display your own ugly tiles, instead of the using the users theme, then I'm going to unpin or uninstall those apps pretty much straight away. Either make the tiles the same as the rest of the tiles so that they match the users theme, or allow the user to override the apps default tile colour to match their theme.

Windows 10 mobile Anniversary Update

Hi

When is the Anniversary Update for Windows 10 Mobile available in South. Africa

 

I guess they're still not sending it out to 512MB devices! *Sad

 

Anyone know when the Anniversary build will be available via WDRT?

 

Installed on two Lumia 950XL. One installed flawlessly, and the other not so much. I had to WDRT the second one because the process stopped cold in the migrating data phase. The second installation went fine.

Still waiting for the update to the camera app to get the panorama function.

 

So you got the 14393 Version from WDRT? I have tool Version 3.9.20701 and can only get hold of 10586.13169. *Sad

 

Same. It appears to be still only be available to people on the Insider Fast Ring at the moment. According to THIS article, the Panorama function was released to insiders in Version 2016.715.21.0 of the camera app. As a non-insider, the camera app on my phone is still showing 2016.404.191.0, which would explain the lack of panorama function.

Waiting for the new Microsoft Authenticator app to be released too.

 

I installed the update after running WDRT. The second try worked fine.

 

Interesting

According to ZDNet the Windows phone is heading for extinction

so I presume this mainly aimed at tablets?

 

I very happy with my Lumia 640XL. I will only go back to a Android phone when I can no longer buy a Windows phone. Apple has never been on my want list and probably never will.

 

Same here, I have few reasons for that opinion.
After few years of Android use and Symbian before that, my first reason is familiarity with system because of almost exclusive use of windows on computers.
Another reason is integration and interfacing with desktop and other computers. There was only one Symbian phone I could successfully connect back up and control from XP and with several Androids I had, almost no luck at all. Best I could do is to download pictures and eventually backup phone numbers.
With my Lumia 640 I can do that several ways (I have 14905.100) on it. My brother's Lumia 535 which is still on W8 it's possible too.

 

im still cursing the win10 and windows phones for not having USB-tethering - its mandatory for me and cause of that, i need to stick on Jolla *Sad *Sad

 

guys, i'm planing to buy lumia 540 after i lost my android phone.

can i upgrade it to windows 10 os?
please kinda new to microsoft phone here. is it good?
