has calmed down a bit.
New build seems to be missing features and buggy still, I'm surprised how far behind phone is. Very disappointing.

Everything is faster...most notably for me the Store and Photos apps. MS Band getting notifications properly now. Groove and Phone app still gimped.
Rebooting and powering on - insanely fast now

noted, rebooted the phone a ocuple of times as it was stuck at 0%...will leave it alone for now.
Yeah, seems like that for me too. Lock screen starts a bit S though.
Wooooo

Not even that...my email client is still screwed. Im gonna reset.

Same, tbh I am bit let down now. Considering the huge version bump this is still shit. Video player doesnt work at all. But I am using VLC so thats fine.
Still buggy man and feel big change.

That's me waiting for a new hero device.
Maybe they're features and not bugs?

Yeah I think the next feature to look forward to that we know about it actually on the desktop with SMS integration with the new messaging app(s).
Really....... that blows
Edit: Make sure you are on the new build, coming 8.1, I think you need to do it twice.

Can't say I've had these problems.

The new build is lightning fast for me on my 925. Almost feel like the animation of opening an app/returning to homescreen is holding everything back. However it's painfully slow/unresponsive just after boot or when launching new apps. Orientation detection seems better now. They removed the 'not for resale' text on the loot logo. When you turn the phone off it reminds you what events are on your calendar. I still have screen tearing while scrolling and frequent app crashes.
Check with the Windows Insider app if you are in the programm, and you want to be in the "fast" one.
Maybe the build is a bit unstable on the Icon. Takes a few seconds for the time and date to appear on the lock screen. The Maps app is complete garbage and won't give me directions. Edge would lock up. The store would crash. My phone just became a frustrating brick.
Reset my phone, hope that makes a difference.

I can confirm the lock screen pauses 3-5 seconds to load the text, and the store is painfully slow. Other than that so far so good.

Okay on my 930 I reselected the same background image, and removed any of the additional information (I had calendar). Loading quicker now, still a delay though.

This new build is horrible, and i usually don't say that.
i no longer have edge for some strange reason so I've been forever to use opera browser...disgusting!
readit won't load and i also can't delete it or reinstall it.
i still have a store bug where the search box and keyboard covers the entire screen making it pretty difficult to use.
there's more issues but not having edge is a deal breaker. does anyone have a direct link to download or something?

Sounds like you have to do a factory reset.

You might be able to import your favorites to the desktop Edge, and then that might roam to WP edge--Not that it makes sense.
^It seems Broman hit the desired path for users. hrm.

I like the little icons for my favorites
Have they been there before in earlier builds?

pulled my 920 out to the latest w10 preview. geez, the 920 cyan is still a beautiful phone. just make it lighter, thinner, smaller bezel, and a larger screen and we get the new 940 flagship.
