How to revert back to WP8.1

Thanks for posting this Assasin's. I like the third-party integration in the messaging hub (perhaps no need to open whatsapp and skype and FB messenger), the quick reply and almost everything. Hope all of these features can run on low end WP as well.

i don't think it workable....skype support messaging hub becoz it under MS...

whatsapp, fb messenger, wechat, line are 3rd party, whenever update it will troublesome

Let see if MS can come out with the implementation. Otherwise they would not list it as a "third party integration". Third party here means other besides MS. Right now even Android and iOS do not have this feature. If WP has it then it will become a unique selling feature. Google Hangout only integrates sms with google's own gtalk.

Sorry about that, that was my mistake. Currently it's limited to just Skype. Microsoft says it’s only going to support carrier messaging services, SMS, and Skype with this tight integration, so don’t expect to see WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger appear in the Windows 10 for phones messaging app. (Source)

hope the older lumia's can get.

phone running wp 8.1 is upgradable to win 10

I was about to get excited about the feature! Thanks for clarifying. But otherwise all other features are also good. Voice dictation, can it support other languages besides English?

I suspect it's using Cortana voice recognition, so it'll probably support whatever language Cortana supports.

Toast notifications.

finally..new reason that prevent me from jumping to another bandwagon...cant wait till February..

wow nice ..finally ms did it.. one OS thats what they want.. all in 1 good job ms.. cant wait to try on ly L1020

was going to get PS4...now going to get Xbox One to combo with my desktop and Surface Pro

the software path is now clear... waiting for the hardware part.. hope they introduce coolest phone this year..

Need to improve on Apps availability instead.

thanks for the info

I can see the design is inconsistent across the OS.
The title bar (the top portion of an app) design is vary even by Microsoft app. Just compare Phone and Outlook from the image above and you'll know what I mean.

However the other addition is of course nice.

nice impressive. so wishing it to try it now.

can't wait for developer's preview to roll out!!

Updated with Lumia Software Recovery 5.0.5 [14-2-2015]

prefer A
easier to dial a number....

somehow B looks more elegant, flatter and modern
i prefer B.
but that would be nice if it's a little bit bigger.

those who've update their phone, feed us more screenshot please!

This post has been edited by ameri: Feb 14 2015, 06:54 AM

I think ill prefer B more, easier for 1 hand use on L1520?

if big screen then i will get B

but if small screen like 920

i still prefer A

Yeah, smaller screen can choose the bigger keypad, are they allowing to choose in the settings ? I have yet to try not available to L1520 yet

for now = no

future = not sure

A better, B Save button missing.

Save and Backspace button are right at the top in B, you need dial at least one digit before they appear.

this ugrade take how many data? around 2GB?

450MB

Anyone updated? Keep getting server error.

Statements from Gabe Aul :

"We discovered this morning that there was an error in the database for provisioning record data, which is required for new phones to join the Fast Ring through the Windows Insider app. The team has been working to correct it but the load on the provisioning data servers has made all operations extremely slow. To fix the issue, we are taking the service offline and updating the provisioning record data for all 5100 phone POPs. It will take approximately 2 hours for us to make the update, and validate that everything is working. This is a different service from Windows Update, so Insiders who are currently on 9941 should be able to update their phones if they are already in the Fast ring. If they are in the Slow ring they will encounter the same issue with provisioning data. We apologize for the delay on this and are working to ensure it never happens again.'

This is weird, I got WP8.1 Update 2 instead of Windows 10

apparently WP8.1 Update 2 comes before Win10 TP, I think ill just get update 2 & wait out for Win10 TP. cant open word/excel/onenote is a no go for me....

W10 for phone still beta phase.

For people who cant wait to install Win10 TP please read this first

- There might be situations in which auto-upload of your Camera Roll to OneDrive may not be working. Please be sure to back up your photos especially if you need to use the Windows Phone Recovery Tool to go back to Windows Phone 8.1.

- The Office Hub has been removed from this build. You won't be able to open Word, Excel, PowerPoint or OneNote files in this build. Preview versions of the Universal Office apps will be available in the coming weeks.

- We are redoing how text messages are handled and processed by Cortana so in this build text messages cannot be read out over Bluetooth.

- After upgrade, some apps that have been installed onto a SD memory card will fail to launch. To fix this, uninstall and reinstall the apps.

- About 1% of the time, incoming phone calls may not play a ringing sound.

- Call + SMS filtering will not work after upgrade.

- For people upgrading their phone from Build 9941, there is a bug in which your phone's MMS settings will be lost after upgrade. The new Messaging app doesn't yet have the ability to re-enter these settings. You will need to use the Windows Phone Recovery Tool to go back to Windows Phone 8.1 and then upgrade to this build to get MMS working again.

- Also for people upgrading their phone from Build 9941, the tiles on your Start screen for the Camera and Photos apps may be missing or corrupt. You will have to unpin any corrupt tiles and re-pin the apps to your Start screen.

- On some phones, due to a scaling bug the dismiss button won't be visible when an alarm is triggered. To stop your phone from "alarming "just touch the arrow and swipe up on the notification and off the screen to end the alarm.

- On phones with 512MB of memory, apps can randomly crash due to an issue with memory management.

- Flight mode cannot be enabled.

- Data connections can't be disabled.

- You may need to re-pin the Phone app after upgrade.

- The Insider Hub is now included on Phone but may fail to launch on some phones.

Flight Mode and Data Connection toggles are working on Lumia 630

did you try if its really working? because afaik the toggle works just the function isn't there.

Flight Mode tested ok

Unable to test Data Connection at the moment

how to roll back to 8.1? always fail when i use the recovery tool..

Which one did you use? The Lumia Recovery Tool or the Windows Phone Recovery Tool?

If just me or other people have this problem too?

1. Cannot sign in here drive and map
2. Analog clock tile cannot download clock face
3. Many typo error compare to 8.1
4. Photo app crash when open photo

Need improve asap
1. Photo apps. No album yet. I hate to scroll longgggg to chose my background image or if want share through whatsapp.

windows phone recovery tools..

Try using the Lumia Software Recovery Tool

wanna install the latest build on my lumia 630 when i get home hehe

installed to my 920, and i realized a few bugs:

- if the phone goes into standby, i cant turn it back on...pressing the power button do nothing...need to press vol down + power to restart...after doing so, it still wont turn on when it goes into standby...not sure if hard reset will solve this issue...

- cant link contacts to FB...reinstalling FB app didnt solve the issue...maybe i need to uninstall --> restart --> install...

- there are two "people" app, one is just People another is "People Legacy"...live tile is working on "People Legacy", but not the new "people" app...


The OS definitely not really ready for daily driver device but it does show the new OS...
i'm liking the new Outlook and calendar, but not the hamburger menu thingy...same goes for the round contact icons...
one thing for sure, i hate the new toggle button UI...it look out of place...

overall, i feel MS is moving away from the "modern" UI they created, somehow it feel more "android-ish"...
but the OS is still in development, and nothing is finalized...but i'm keeping my finger crossed that it will come good...

Update availability paused for Lumia 520/525/526 users - Microsoft Community

Universal Office apps expected to be released by the end of April

already roll back to stock 8.1 lol

i'm gonna stick with w10 though.. works fine for my daily usage..

same thing happen.. cant rollback.. i dont mind using w10 at first.. but since i cant use here drive, its quite hard to live without it.. help....

bro.. make sure u have only 1 language English(malaysia) only. U need to delete all other language. I have tried everything, this language thing is the culprit.

- We fixed the issue in which you couldn’t download keyboards for additional languages.

NOTE :
- Windows Phone Recovery Tool has now been updated to fixed the issue where it would bricked the Lumia 520 when trying to flash it back to WP 8.1. More details here

will stick to gdr2 till they fix more problem hahaha

actually i hated the win10 so much, rememebr the old Amber/Black are so lightweight, so fast... when come to Cyan & denim getting fatter..... now Win10 i hated the arrangement and the all confusing menu and grouping....

rolled back to WP8.1... (I wish i had never upgraded to Cyan,,,,)

my advise


to those using WP as their primary device, DO NOT update your device to the latest W10 TP build..


its not a beta software ffs....still a 'preview' as MS calls it

yalo, this preview is alpha not beta


This post has been edited by dgboy: Apr 24 2015, 08:24 PM

I'm not going to upgrade to w10 tp again until they update photo apps and here maps link to here drive/waze.

I'm not in favour of hamburgers and other controls at the top of the screen. The new Outlook Mail is not one-handed friendly.

This post has been edited by dgboy: Apr 25 2015, 03:39 PM

what's ur lumia?

i guess we need to get accustom to it. or don't update at all.

when ios and android got hamburgers menu, no one complain....

when windows phone add hamburgers menu, everyone complain even non wp users...

windows phone started with its own unique burger-free design

different OS should have different look and feel, especially as they converge in terms of function

This post has been edited by dgboy: Apr 28 2015, 01:30 PM

since i cant rollback to 8.1 using windows/lumia recovery tools, can i ask nokia care to do it for me?
