        No Matter, 31 Mar 2016Now microsoft via cortana is moving deeper into user's pers... moreisn't this what Google has been doing for half a decade with Google Now and Inbox or Apple with Siri

          I wonder if they include paying with Cortana at checkout using cameras to identify&determine what you want to do(pay) without need to talk, it should be simple.

            No Matter, 31 Mar 2016Now microsoft via cortana is moving deeper into user's pers... moreMy thoughts exacrly. Same goes to PC version of Win10. Privacy settings, by default, are set to gather information of pretty much everything, that you do on your computer, supposedly just to "make Cortana experience better". Heh! Suuuure Microsoft, suuuuuuuure...

                  Microsoft sucks when it comes to security. How in the world they are expecting people to use this application with this much integration .

                    My Windows 10 update works fine. There was a hiccup was at the beginning. The notifications were separated by a visible string of numbers. That was rectified with the next update on the same day. Battery use has improved a lot, like yesterday I charged my phone at 7.00 in he morning, but up to midnight I still had 65% with yahoo email, gmail, exchange, watts app etc running. The main obstacle for now since the upgrade is that the do not disturb features are not working, and so is Cortana. it is a shame android users will benefit from Cortana before Windows users.

                      AnonD-426126, 31 Mar 2016But, I and most other people hasn't had this issue. The bug... moreGood for you !!! I am not talking about the Insider's version. I updated to Windows 10 from 8.1 and it was followed by an another update which claimed to fix bugs and optimize battery. Final or not, the story is all the same. My phone got damned. Camera turned into crap. Rich dynamic feature doesn't work anymore. Adding the effects takes forever and ever. Turtle slow motion player is dark even in the daylight. Turning on 4k is toasting my phone, glad that it didn't cause any smoke. Camera's autofocus is not stable after the update. I shoot a lot with my phone's 20 MP camera. The update ruined my phone. I rolled back to 8.1 and the nightmare continues. I lost some of the data that failed to backup on its own. Memory turned full and the screen started to go greyscale and freeze. I am looking into the forums with other users claiming about the same issues and the MS didn't even bother to officially comment on these issues whatsover. Folks like you might enjoy the new build on your latest lumia devices. But users of 1520 like me are frustrated by this miserable update.

                        Hey MS, upgrades to Cortana is great IF ONLY the other 80% of the users of Win10 in the world can use them too.

                        Seriously, upgrade it's region/language support before anything. Because more features means shit for the other 80% people in the world who are getting the "Cortana isn't supported in the region and language you've selected" message

                          Agreed. I had the official release of win10 on my 735 and it's working fine, some little hiccups but 99% are good. Maybe he is referring to the insiders (beta) version.

The bugs that existed in the initial phase has been fixed in the final release. Not saying that you are lying, but since it is a rare occurrence, please try resetting your phone. Now, please don't come bashing at me. I am just suggesting a solution. Cheers.

                              Leaving some of the Windows customers with a messy WIN 10 update. Microsoft now want to play Messiah in the Android world. You screwed up my 1520. MS, Why don't you fix your own backyard first before going to pick some one else nose. My hatred towards you is growing day after day !
