Preview for Developers

Simple and easy

Really cool app for access to early updates :) it helped me get WP8.1 real quick

This is a very beneficial application and being that if is WP OS, it is extremely motivating and stress free in order to sign up and hopefully graduate to A WP Preview Developer. It has given me the push that I needed. Especially since what started out as a hobby turned passion, turning into a waste of effort throughout the the 8-9 months I spent trying to develop a application for Android OS between the 4.0.1-4.1.2 era. I've been successfully accepted as a preview developer for Windows Phone. I updated my HTC ONE M8 too WP 10, and I must say that it is a sufficient revamp, not as much a overhaul as 4.0-4.1 or even 4.4-5.0... There are such gestures that I did notice, and my favorites was the background for the Start Screen. You can choose you're own design and edit it too your preference. Can't wait for the official release for both Windows and WP. I say that BC now going on day

On the Lumia 1020 most recent update caused phone not to charge and lock/unlock function not to work. I know for sure that the lock/unlock button still works because I can hold it down and still get the "power off" option.

I love having the ability to update my HTC 8x to reveal the new features released through this program. I've had a couple sim card problems, to where it would go unrecognized until I restart my phone. Also when "change photo" is pressed when trying to change lock screen, freezes and crashes to the start screen multiple times before I get lucky and it goes through to my photos. Other then that I'm digging Cortana and the live folders!

I am about to go insane! I didn't download the preview because it would void my warranty. The official release was June 24, but I still don't have the update. I have been checking every day since the release date, please hurry! --edit-- After doing lots of research and enduring four chats with customer service, I found out that the update was released to each phone service provider on June 24. We have to wait until our individual service provider finishes testing the update for compatibility. Which could take up to the end of September! Ugh... I will still be checking every day for the update! --edit-- 7 weeks past release date and still no update. 😞

The update started great, but updates for the calendar and Bing weather came out and now the calendar crashes when you try to create an event, and the live tile for the weather app is broken. Also unnecessary changes were made to the app and music folders, and I can't buy music in the store anymore. Seriously, come on microsoft

I like the 8.1 platform. Great features and now has file manager available. MS keeps making it better. I would like to see a lock for the app placement on the main screen. Occasionally I find that maybe I rest on a key for too long and end up moving or deleting button. It's not a deal breaker, just a thought.

Kids corners is with a bug. When I try to customize,it shows all photos of all my albums, it should shows only backgrounds pictures.

Working wonders on my 1520 for the first time. But not my 720. Have to retry again later. At starting, the battery 🔋 drains so fast! Tried a lot of things. Now seemed better than wp8. My conclusion is, cortana doesn't consume much. So here's what to do. - Disable background runs including the battery saver app! - Hard reset is necessary. It's a must sad to say.. That's all. Enjoy your new update! 🏄
