My 3 Google accounts working fine
Yeap, that extra toggle for Action Centre is the extra that we get for having a monster phone  laugh.gif
After using this from 10pm till now, here's my summary:

The Good:
1) Love the new smaller fonts & layout for our big screen. Finally our 6" screen is put to better use, no longer just a bigger 720p.
2) Great Action Centre & Notifications design. It's simple & shows me exactly what I need to know.
3) Ability to move apps to SD Card. Man this is a life saver!!! Moved some huge ass games over to SD Card & now finally can have more breathing space on the phone main storage.
4) Cortana!!! Used up a lot of battery playing with it  laugh.gif

The Bad:
1) Not as butter smooth as before. Hopefully this will get sorted out as there's definitely some lag here & there. This is obvious in games too.
2) Seems the OS either does very aggressive memory management or they overhauled the fast resume in such a way that apps have to be updated to cater for this. Only the most recent app in multitasking can be fast resumed from what I've noticed. The rest gets suspended & have to reload state on resume. Definitely not ideal...

i think very soon will roll out 2nd update for stability and performance.

Cortana knows all. sees all. Bing is getting fat with all your habits that Cortana feeds.

Long time ProShot user here. thumbup.gif It was great before Nokia Cam but now a lot of functions just overlap. It still have some extras like full-res time lapse, real-time filters that can be customed and saturation/contrast control. It also actually saves your settings unlike Nokia Cam and you can put up to 3 custom presets (counting Manual mode).

I still prefer ProShot and it's still my go-to app for taking pics but atm resolution is capped at 10 MP.

Oh there's a native HDR mode as well.

If you're just looking to have full manual controls over your camera I think Nokia app works just fine and there's plenty of other free alternatives. Not sure if it's worth it to buy but if it goes on a deal I say definitely get it.

i see..hmm...just bought 2 apps...the rest..keep. haha

Haha that's great for u. I have been hitting the 15 app limit since L920. Always need to juggle my background apps just to get my live tiles to properly update especially when I'm trying new apps.
Proshot is worth to buy, but honestly Nokia Camera does the job well enough now I no longer use Proshot.

Yeap you r right, latest Games app is broken. Crap! The previous one was fine. Or maybe they need to update their backend or something.
Nope.

but it doesnt affect me since i dont play games..haha! they will fix this up and make it back to online then should be no problem to connect.

microsoft is very busy right now i guess. haha, this is huge update.

Moliplayer stops the music when I press back though. Looking for a good music player, couldn't get used to this.

Is there an app for Google+? Used to get my news from there using old phone sad.gif
