Windows 10 for Phones Upgradation, New Features and Lags
Hi there!
How?
Facing problem?
What is it?
The Windows 10 for phones was surely much awaited. It finally was provided for most of the phone models long back. I had it too.
How?
Follow these steps to get it for your phone:
- Go to store on your Phone.
- Search for Upgrade Adviser.
- Install it.
- Open the app and click next, It will check if the upgrade is available for your phone
- If it says yes, download it. The size of the upgrade is about 1.33 GB.
- let it download and let it install, Its done.
Lets see what made the difference now.
Pros:
What was added and was helpful is much more than what was added and I think is a lag.
- Camera: Better pixelation, better light recognition. Video Recording has pause button now.
- Action Centre: More buttons up there, choice to switch their positions, added Flashlight.
- Graphics: All has gone so smooth and clear =>
- The battery saver Icon has changed
- The lock screen has met some changes (Whole screen does no more slide up, just the date and time part slides up when you are siding up)
- The Start screen has got updates (Now you can set background image at full screen)
- The App list has got better (Its no more just dark or light, you see the background image there as well)
- Settings Menu has been Categorized and has some icons now unlike earlier text and text only
- New setting options are given, you can now control the size of texts and all what is on screen including the size of icons on the navigation bar.
4. Alarms and clock: New features like World Clock, Stopwatch and Timer have been added.
5. Cortana has gone even better.
6. New Apps : They Added a lot of new apps and Replaced them with the earlier ones
- Excel, Powerpoint, Word are now on the app list
- File Manager is now the new and updated Files
- Films & TV is the new Video payer and browser, it supports .MKV formats and has got better options like --> Repeat, Aspect Ratio, Subtitle, Audio Chooser, Cast to Device for playing.
- Gadgets has gone better with autoplay type option whenever you connect a enhancement to your phone.
- Groove Music is now the new music player with considerably helpful features like Visuals, Syncing, Progress show of Syncing, songs can be viewed according to date added/by Name.
- Lumia Helps+Tips is constantly receiving new updates.
- Microsoft Edge is the new In-built Web-browser, It has better loading and better Data Conservation, It is faster than the previous version and supports pages better.
- OneDrive is updated, though the free storage space is reduced to 5GB per user
- Outlook calendar is the new calendar, its better now.
- Outlook mail is the new E-mail browser it works the same as earlier Mails+accounts but has too many new options. seriously too many.
- The Photos app has got updates.It shows the sync button now and has a better look.
- Store has got updated, Better Visuals, Better Speed, Better Categorization.
- Voice Recorder has been Added, it lets you record, pause, resume, Stop ;-)
- Contact Support and Windows Feedback are new apps to let you stay connect with the Windows People
Cons:
- The Navigation bar doesn't hide with every app like it did earlier with win8.1 Apps
- The store is better but you can't view the release notes directly from the updates and downloads section.
- The no. of apps has gone even low, few of the Win8.1 Apps won't work now.
- The Photos app is slower, it doesn't clarify the photos quickly, it takes time syncing them, has problem with showing Folders and Albums.
- The First Windows 10 upgrade made the phone drain battery real quick. Well this was rectified with the later update. The battery backup now is back to the Brand of windows phones.
- They removed the Battery saver tile, though its there in the action centre but you no more have a big tile showing your battery percentage on the start screen. It no more show how much time it's been since last full charge but now it shows how much time would it last and when connected to a charger, It shows how much time it requires for full charge which is usually inaccurate..
- Data Sense is removed from the app list and is placed in the settings menu so its kinda long way to have a quick view.
- Few apps are like a bug, you install them and then remove, but they don't go.
Bugs:
- The screen sometimes looses colours, it goes dark and sometimes light. lock it and then unlock it again- it goes back to fine.
- The Groove music App is kinda laggy, sometimes it hangs up while playing music and moves forward to playing the next song without the current being played fully.
- The Microsoft Phone app has a new design that kind of complicates the things like switching the SIM cards in dual sim phones.
Few more of them to be discovered...
