I just installed the latest build 10166 in
my Lumia 620 and was little disappointed to find that there weren’t any
major features released in this build. This build contains mostly fixes
for the known bugs which weren’t fixed in the previous builds. The main
change that I noticed in this build was that the old store app has been
removed and the new store app (the beta store app from previous builds)
has been made as the default store app. Apart from this, I noticed that
my WhatsApp is still not displaying its icon in both the start screen
and the all apps menu. So it looks like the icons issue is yet to be
fixed.
Gabe Aul posted the following in the Windows blogs:
“Most
of the known issues we listed for Build 10149 have been fixed. We also
fixed the issue where the post-upgrade migration status screen was
missing, which made the Lock screen appear frozen without the date and
time for up to 10 minutes. The post-upgrade migration status screen
should appear normally now. We also fixed the issue where you were
unable to unlock your phone after entering your PIN and it keeps letting
you type even though you entered your pin correctly that was caused by a
TPM issue. The colors in apps should now appear correctly including in
including the titlebar in the Outlook Mail app which is no longer
orange. And we also improved reliability of app downloads and updates
from the Store (which is now no longer marked as “Beta” and the old
Store has been removed).
We
also got a lot of feedback about the size of the battery icon, so we
bumped that up a bit larger to make it easier for everyone to see.”
Though
there is no new features in the new build, it has fixed most of the
major bugs in the previous builds and has made Windows phone smoother
and better for day to day use. If you haven’t installed this build yet,
you can go ahead and install it without any hesitations.
