This post will be updated with everything that I’ve seen throughout the Windows Phone 8.1 update process. I tried to take a few screenshots of the processes
- First received an update to 8.0.10532.166 which seems to be a prerequisite update for 8.1
- Received the 8.1 update afterwards
- TOS
- 19 Migration steps which is much more than the typical 3-6 we see when updating. Makes sense though.
- Tried to take screenshots of 8.1 after the update was installed, but I was prompted that the screenshot combination changed (I actually forgot about this). It’s now Power + Vol Up instead of Power + Start.
- Here’s my lockscreen now. I’m using Quotastic. Notice that we have the notifications icon and the Exchange mail icon changed
- After the migration steps were complete, I was informed of the new WiFi Settings that I leaked.
- It also informed me that now I have to update my Google login since it’s now using OAuth
- My Home screen now with Data Sense among many other app pins
- I noticed that it decides to update and reinstall EVERY app on my phone. R.I.P Battery
- CORTANA BABY!
- Thing that was shown in BUILD. Detect tracking info from emails on your phone
- Storage Sense!
- Oh, all games are listed within the app list instead of having to go into the Games app in order to access them.
- FM Radio gets its own app too in the app list
- Camera updated
- Notifications
- You have to reboot in order for Glance notifications to work
- Showing facebook notifications in the People Hub?
- Settings Sync across multiple devices
- Setting extra Tiles
- If you’re going to enable extra tiles on a 920 or comparable device, make sure you have good eye sight because these tiles are TINY.
More to come later
