Hi Louie,
No i had used it with the pre-installed windows 8.1 gdr1. And got this camera issue. And i had searched microsoft support forums for getting help to resolve the issue.And came to know that some phones got this issue and it cannot be resolved with recovery tool by ourselves and the only solution is giving it to Nokia care. For some users they have flashed the firmware from Nokia care and got it resolved.
Upon this knowledge i had visited a nokia care and to be frank this is the worst thing coz i had almost wasted 4 hours there. But the end result was really annoying , they told firmware flashing doesn't solve the problem and it needs the camera module to be replaced and which will take another 14 working days. And also since i bought the device from abroad i cannot claim the free service warranty in India. so to will cost me 180$ to get it repaired.
Then after contacting many users with same issue i came to know that this some common problem with L830 and they discontinued the model. For some people even after changing the camera module the new official gdr2 update made the camera to crash.
That's why i thought to send the device back to Dubai and get rid of this mess. I was an Android user for past years and this was the first WP experience and got the worst.
Frankly speaking WP still not feeling complete.
1.No good email client (gmail user), cannot attach the file like gmail app in android. Its really half baked .
3.Official applications are good for nothing.i think they released just for the sake of....
2.Worst music player.
3.Browsing is worse in most sites.
4.No application lock facility is available like in android.
5. That time there was no Wifi sender like XENDER( But now i think they released for WP)
6.Don't have a good file manger...etc.etc....
Like wise many useful and good features are not there in Windows it still feels like a beta OS to me.
Good things are
Live tiles are okay.(Not wonderful like what others reviewed)
only good applications are mytube,tubecast and Rudy's apps (6tag, etc...)
1.Camera ( in my case that too failed )
2.no lag only because of good transition effect.
3.No heating issues on daily usage but phone will get red hot upon connected to a wall charger.
4.Wireless charging, swap-able backcover and mmc support.
In my case am waiting for the next windows flagship to see anything really got changed or still they are giving only high hopes to customers without any good thing. if its the same then i am going for iphone 6 plus s or note 5.
No hard feelings to WP fans , This is what i felt upon using wp for several months.

shuv, 11 Aug 2015suchi1234 i will suggest you nt to upgrade your ph to 10 ..... morek thanks buddy..
in addition to that. today I went to a arcade to get a phone. there was Lumia 830 too. in that phone also have the camera problem. I ask them why is that. they said that will fix by a update by them. However they said that it is small problem.
So buddies who have that problem, contact the customer case service center. I think they will fix your problem.
By the I went there to buy Lumia 735.
Hope this will help you :)
cheers ! :)

This Nokia Lumia 830 is the best phone so far camera is great and games also have been play very well In this device .And yes there is a little bit problem in software but it"s not a very big problem of this phone . sometimes update of your phone this update version is not support any App or games or any camera problem. only update period of time . windows 8.1 version (original Version )is great for this phone .
