Anyone manage to get the skype integration working for the phone/people app?
When the skype preview hit the tech sites posted images and videos of it, but for me it's not integrated at all.
Someone else mentioned that the previous messaging app was deleted, but mine still has it, so i'm assuming i'll have to do a hard reset XD

It hit mobile? Thought that was just desktop.

Yeah it did, there's a new messaging app that replaces the old one, an app dedicated to skype video, but also the new skype was supposed to hook up to people and photos apps and allow you to start a skype call from them.
This video show it working on the people app: https://youtu.be/NVQAixIHpAs?t=1m59s
On my people app, for contacts that I also have on skype I get the Start a video call link, but I don't get the link to change all number calls to skype like on that video (I also saw another video with that working, but like I said, no idea if it was from an emulator)
Mine seems to work and is integrated, although it always seems to default to Skype to Skype calling

That's actually what I wanted, lol.
It's way cheaper here to get a data only sim, and skype is working very well for me on the go, except for the terrible Wp app that doesn't even support pasting or editing a number, nor does it have search on contacts. Integrating to people and phones apps would be a god send.
Edit: Oh my god, how did they managed to make the photo experience even worse in this build? Now even the photos I shot take an eternity to show up (before it would be just screenshots). And editing and then saving a picture is also impossible because it takes 10 minutes just to save it.
Yup. Happened to me a few builds ago.
So I took the plunge again and installed the latest WP10 build on my daily driver L920.
Its working pretty well with very few freezes. Only I'm missing 'installed' apps in all apps.
The only way to launch them is from the store.
Is this a known bug? or an undocumented feature?
edit:
Also the lock screen customise doesn't work at all.

For a couple builds now I find that trying to change my lock screen background crashes the settings app. Super frustrating, but that's what the Insider Hub reporting is for!

I have the same problem with my Twitter app
Its happening with WhatsApp, my strava clones, fitness apps, Facebook and messenger. pretty much everything that isn't an official app.
Hmm! I really don't want to hard reset lol

Still unofficial I guess, can't find it on the store unless I go through a direct link.
And also I hope it's not official because it won't integrate properly on my phone even after a hard reset
Thankfully, the hard reset did "fixed" the lock screen getting stuck forever in loading. Now instead of taking hours for it to appear it's taking about 5-10 minutes.

rolling back from 10 to 8.1. there were nice improvements like Edge no longer crashing but i need my Xbox Music back to download my music. Groove still doesn't allow you to transfer your subscription to carry over yet. rolling back is taking forever and i gotta go to work. times like this i wish i still had my 635 around as a back up. my 920 backup now has a busted sim card slot.

apparently Rudy Huyn got a job at dropbox as a lead on user-experience for their new (upcoming, I assume) w10 app
Beaten. I came here to post that.

Will W10 Mobile allow the customization of the Quick Access Buttons at the top of the notification screen?
I don't mean the standard 5 icons, I mean when you pull down the rest. I don't want to have tethering in there because I may activate it by mistake and lose my Unlimited Data on AT&T.
Now that 22GB is the new Soft cap for throttling, Continuum makes sense but if there is no way to prevent accidentally activating tethering, not bothering with W10 even on my 1520.

He was already doing the official Dropbox apps, but that explains him moving to SF. At least the city is a perfect match for him. I do wonder how long it will take until he gets absorbed by the Apple environment there.
Well, they just bought another start-up that made an Android launcher, despite already offering one themselves.

I think before going android they will try to get more OEMs to bundle their apps.
But he has a point, except for Groove, Ms has already a very nice range of apps on android, and they all support system features like widgets, which just add to how they are more complete there than on windows phone.

I'd buy an Android Lumia. Wonder if they'd have Google Play installed, or pull an Amazon and fork AOSP.
Cyanogen likely.

And be unable to sell in India? Not likely.

Hey, default Podcasts app, could you please stop deleting episodes I'm halfway through listening to just because a new episode comes out? Like, I have the app open and the episode is even still my currently playing file and shows up when you hit a volume key. But nope, delteated. ...it doesn't even download the new episode half the time!

After the new BB Venice photos that were leaked a few hours ago, the Edge looks like a toy in build quality.
To what end? Dropping Windows Phone seems like a good idea, since it's a waste of time and resources. However, forking Android by themselves wouldn't do them any good. The other OEMs aren't allowed to have both Google and non-Google Android devices. They still wouldn't get the apps and they'd still get faulted for the app situation in reviews. If they wanted to release an Android device, they'd basically have to get the Play store on there. Of course, then they'd also be forced to put every other Google app on there and place them rather prominently on the home screen. And then no one would use the Microsoft equivalents of popular Google services...
Microsoft just have to accept that they lost the mobile platform war. Any aspirations to attain a significant share of mobile are futile.

I really like the design and would take one without the keyboard.
Roberto Larcos

Good thing Microsoft is an OEM.
And it'd be easier to get apps. Even the Amazon app store has Tinder and Instagram.
Forgot about that one! I'll get the phys keyboard one.

has calmed down a bit.
I think the Moto 2015 lineup is a pass, unfortunately. Not a good year for android phones.

Ironically, BlackBerry's are the highlight this year due to the keyboard lol

I just noticed the feedback app was removed after I hard reset the phone.
I can't even report that bug now XD

Happened to me too with the last build. I now reboot before setting the alarm, might help
I also use Alarm+ as a backup.José Mourinho

I think the moment the Venice drops I'm buying out of my 930 contract and getting it.
believe it or not my gf having problem with alarm on her L830, and she is running official 8.1, no beta software.
Yeah, important update. Without the store, it was pretty shit.
I really like the app btw. Yes there's still some annoying bugs as we've seen above and they also need to do something about the very annoying initial adding process, but it's definitely a lot better than Xbox Music on 8.1 once your music is there.
It also looks good imo:
