I need full Denim on my 830 too!
Denim fixed the WiFi and camera issues on my 830, but the Bluetooth issues are driving me crazy now that I got a Pebble through work. Update 2 supposedly fixes these issues (from comments on the Pebble forums), but it's taking forever to come.

Jeez, if MS had a way to let people "opt in" to updates as soon as MS had them ready, I'd cream myself. Waiting on Verizon is agonizing.
Even if it's just through something like the Developer Preview system.

The Audible app is fairly janky on the Windows Phone but it does have one neat feature. If you take out your headphones it stops (no big deal, all of the other music/podcast apps do this by default) but if you put them back in within five minutes or so it unpauses, something most of the other programs I've used don't do.
Too late... Thanks though! Went through hell to try to get it back lol
You mean five seconds? Five minutes would be a terrible feature.
No, it's enough time to run into a store and get some things and head back. It's less then ten.
Your books stay paused, mind you, it just reconnects and unpauses automatically when you reinsert the jack, just like it automatically pauses your content when you take the jack out.
Oh, I misread. I thought you meant it resumes after five minutes.

My mother just got a 640. Anybody know why she has the "All apps" text and her settings are grouped whilst my 930 is not?

I thought everybody had that already.

Actually, I think it was obtained for just a few models through Windows Insider as a first update before the Windows 10 preview. I know I didn't get it when I experimented with that on my 820, so I wouldn't risk it unless you were sure your phone will get that first.

It was available through it for a few days as part of the upgrade path to W10.

At this point, I'm not sure if they are trolling or not. If it is true, I think it would be for the Universal Windows Platform.
That would bring the first tablet version (among other Windows versions) of Snapchat, lol.

Sure enough. I took my mum's old 820 and put the developer preview on and it completed two updates. First GDR2 with the aforementioned changes. Then on to the 10 preview.
10 preview is still horrible. Also, the 820 screen is so piss poor it's staggering. To think MS are still putting phones out with that resolution is unreal.

They just recently tweeted that it wouldn't come anytime soon. Clearly they are waiting for that high-end device Lumia 245.
How much does some light web browsing drain your phones usually?
I usually browse abit when on the train and some light browsing (no picture heavy site) on and off, for about an hour (maybe 20 minutes of active browsing) drains my battery 25% easily.
On a 1020, and usually just use my 4G connection, wifi is turned off.
What's your experience with this (and what phone do you use?)
Edit: On 8.1 "denim" btw.

Yes, IE destroys my battery life (930) at around 1% every few minutes.

I had to roll back to 8.1. Not being able to get to the homescreen was a real killer for me.
Exactly the same here. It was good whilst it lasted.
If it wasn't for that I'd be happy with it on my Daily Driver (L920).
Anyone know if this is being actively looked at, or if Spartan is kinder to battery life?
It certainly wasn't in W10 on my SP3 - Spartan is an incredible battery drain in the latest preview build.

A hard reset fixed that on my 925.

Really? I reset my phone multiple times. The weird thing was it would come and go, some times I could get to the home screen but other times it would just load or resume forever. I hope they get a new build out soon, since I loved it when it did work.

Not a soft reset mind you, that did nothing.

I've often seen perf increases during pre-release builds by doing the 'reset my phone' from settings->about

I did the one where you hold volume down and power, is that a soft or a hard reset? Maybe I need to reupgrade and try again.

That's a soft one, TBH I don't know how that differs from a regular reboot. The hard reset is accessible via settings (which was the only screen I could access at that time)

Where'd you read that?
Some people reviewing recently released Android phones claim the battery life of an Intel powered phone is half of the Galaxy Note 4's battery life despite same battery capacities.
As I said before, clearly Microsoft wants you to own an iPhone:
Game Added: Age of Empires: Castle Siege (iOS)
Microsoft is reportedly developing an iPhone chat app called Flow
