Version 14219 of Windows Phone 8.1.1 update for Preview users is now available
Starting just a few minutes ago at 1 p.m. ET, Microsoft has begun to roll out another OS update for those utilizing the Preview for Developers program.
Heading into Settings and Phone Update, users can tap the Check for Updates button to begin downloading the latest version of Windows Phone 8.1.1. Part of this update should enable Cortana for those in Europe, which was announced this morning. As usual, we also expect some bug fixes and optimizations as well.
The version number of the update is 14219 up from the current 14203 build released a few weeks ago. We will update this article as more information comes in. Stay tuned.
Thanks, Brett C. Bearach, and others for the tips!

New Windows Phone Preview for Developers 14219 update is live
Pages
Cortana unavailable here (NOT the alpha one ... the normal US version, that used to work until weeks ago ) :(
Just updated the phone ... Lumia 720, Denin, OS version is 8.10.14219.341
keyboard: English
language: English (United States)
region: United States, English (United States)
speech: English (United States)
time zone automatically: off
I´ve been updating through Preview for Developers app since 8.1 release.
Changed the Internet explorer default search to Bing.
What else am I missing ? :(
Well... after a second hard reset, things work fine now (but i got rid off the 'Preview for Developers' app)
BR
Mobile Data shortcut on Notification center is finally there!!!
My Internet Explorer seems to have stopped crashing when watching videos on youtube.
Yes battery life improved also for 920
Is Cortona available for Belgium or the Netherlands yet?
Meh...
NEW UPDATE!!!,,,, here and there and there.....and then back to original 8.1 with lumia software recovery tool yes i being there LOL......
It actually seems faster. In every aspect. The OS itself, charging and for some reason the battery life improved in my 520!
This article is miscataloged. I use this URL: http://www.windowscentral.com/content/articles/phones which WC created to get just Windows for Phones articles. But this article does not appear. I only know it because someone posted a link to it. I hope I'm not missing more news because of similer mistakes. I have no interest in Xbox at all or getting general Windows news here which seems to be the majority at times. So its important that the Phone news only option works.
They'd better fix the OS and how it handles apps. There are apps that will kill the battery and switch off the phone even if it's connected to charger. That's unheard of in the world of normally functioning devices. When you have say 5% of battery and start an app like YoutubeHD it will drain battery faster than it charges, which is idiotic, because the power from the charger should be enough to at least keep the phone alive.
after update battery drain out quikcly. is anybuddy have the same experiance?
Didn't anyone noticed that there was one update before this "14219" update for Lumia 1020? It is now faster and "resuming" issue is gone.
Why cant we have more than 5 actions on top? I think just .make a slider to show all actions instead of having to pick which one can be displayed.
Windows phone store not working properly
Downloading for my 920 right now...
Battery drains fast after the update. It kind of bug may be. Anyone experience the same.?
Download at Update at 06:30AM ICT (Lumia 620)
Update is good on my Lumia 720.
Improved speed and smoothness.
Thank you for data connection on action centre and Cortana still not available in Indian region.
Over here in China, Cortana is still seriously screwed up. I have my phone (1520) set to language = English (USA) and region = USA. But I get my news headlines, weather etc. in Chinese which makes it functionally useless. I wish they'd fix this. I've been complaining for months.
The Cortana search functionality works as advertsied. Only the "Interests" part is screwed.
Still no joy on my 1020 in UK,has anyone got it in UK.
920, downloaded the update and pressed install. Came back later and the phone is totally dead. No issues with my 920 up until now apart from some jerkiness which others have seen and posted about online. What to do now? Pressing and holding the power button just does nothing and the screen remains black and the phone totally unresponsive. Will have to try a hard reset I think...... which means I lose everything.
Bye bye status tiles app ...data tile was the only one I was using
Im using it on a 1520, every APP starts now much faster. On the most APPs the Progressbar doesnt apear anymore. very impressed
Got cellular data shortcut in action centre
For 1020 too?
Hm my 1320 had some spinning Wheel issues. After a couple resets without the sd it finaly worket ...pffff
My 1320 went through without any errors. Cyan FI-variant.
Still cant even take the last update.....still getting an error of 80070570......"The update was downloaded, but, couldn't be opened"
WTF, even MS support on Twitter cant help....
I'm in Italy and I've just installed the update, but there's no trace of Cortana, not even in Settings, why??? :'(
Did you set your phones language to Italian?
It's under Applications (swipe left from Settings)
My language and region are set to Italy as always, but there's no trace of Cortana on the phone. This is weird. I even tried to change language and put Italian back again, but had no luck.
Installed it on my phone and it's great to have Cortana in German, even if not everything works as it does in the UK version, but it's more naturally to talk to her in my native language, and it's kinda funny how she sings the Laternenlied. ^^
The German voice of Cortana is awful. :|
Sounds like one of these budget localizations of a game; the nuances in the voice as it is for the US English voice are missing. But well, it's something. :)
Yeah, that's true, I hope that it'll get better over the time.
WHERE IS MY CYAN FOR MY DEFECTIVE LUMIA ICON !!!
Nothing special! :/
In my country, the way I see it, it will be 2200 when Cortana will be available.
Still haven't updated but seems faster lol
Size of the update?
Anyone know if this includes a fix for the black screen (CPU failing to come out of deep sleep) issue Microsoft confirmed affected the 925 and 1020 models?
Nothing yet here
Cortana is great, but the tie with the region setting has been a huge and very frustrating mistake from the beginning. Imagine how easy it would be to have a Cortana setting page, slider to enable/disable, select menu to choose from available languages (with beta/alpha in brackets). All Windows phone users worldwide would have been able to use it from day one if they wanted. Nobody cares that a beta version does not use the correct currency or does not know all local places. Anybody would understand that she cannot perfectly identify local intonations. There are so many things Cortana can do that doesn't depend on regional settings. Instead, people have either to change their region (meaning they cannot buy from the store, among other inconveniences) or wait until 2022 when maybe Cortana will be available in small countries. Take Switzerland, I speak French, or English, but cannot use either version of Cortana. Such a shame!
Hope it fixes the camera crash issue in 920 and 1020 , some phones the camera crashes and closes.
ok, installed the update, my phone is fully set to german. However, theres no trace of cortana. no settings menu, no app in the app list, the home screen or anywhere else. keeping the search button pressed just brings up the regular voice recognition.
what can i do?
Same here... +920
Same here on a French 930.
I has the same issue for french because in voice set my phone has two language, English and french. I did a general reset and select french and now cortana is here.
With "General reset", do you mean hard reset? Tried a few soft resets already.
I did a reset with reset button In about menu
Thanks, you made my day :-) I saved everything and did a hard reset, Cortana is here!
I just want the update that was talked about here over the 925/1020 stutters and performance issues!!! +925
Will it be faster
Sweet I love updates
That's great
Mobile data shortcut is now added to Notification Center. Hooooooooray!!!!!!!
I am happy with my current OS. A piece of advice. Always do a clean install rather than an update to avoid the lags.
It seems like it may have fixed the screen blacking out issue I used to experience while checking visual voicemail on my 635...i never have that issue on my 925.
I found it interesting that I updated it on both my Icon (F#cking Verizon still on WP OS 7.8... Sorry meant Firmware Black) & my 1020 (Firmware Cyan) at the same time & the Icon had 17 updates & the 1020 had 21 updates & the 1020 was done installing all the updates about 5 minutes before the Icon was finished installing. Interestingly enough I can't seem to find a change log to see what the different updates were for each phones... I'll save some of you time yes I know they're were bug fixes & Cortana updates, but it would be nice for MS to post a list so we know what all has been fixed & updated...
I got the upgrade and is Cortana working in Spanish
-_-
So when do we get actual features. I am waiting for a refresh
I would call having the ability to turn off cellular data in the action center a feature.
Can anyone help me I.e,
How to activate Cortana in Indian region / Indian Language..
Hi! Chirag here from Pune.
Just go to settings and change your region to US. Then download English (US) in speech. And move up US English on language settings. Cortana here!
http://www.google.com/m/search?=client=ms-nokia-wp&q=%68%6F%77+%74%6F+%6...
Am getting so tired of this shit! We who don't live in the Us(Or Uk) NEVER get anything new or extraordinary. I am from Sweden and believe me, Windows Phone will never grow here.
Calm down, lol, its not that serious.
I said it before, but we can use the dedicated "Search button" on the phone, but the problem is that we can't change from Bing.com to Bing.se so the search results are terrible. We don't have Cortana, no Swype and so on. Why should we stay?
I understand that you're frustrated, but cursing and getting your blood pressure raised isn't good ,over technology. If WP isn't for you because of the lack of features in your region, happily switch to another platform. Don't ever get mad over simple things like this.
If your phone is unlocked , just switch your region to US and register for preview for developers.
I am already a part of "Preview for developers" :) And whit Swedish settings:)
Switch region to US. There's more apps there. ;)
Yes, i know but then I can't use my local language:/ So Email and SMS will not be on Swedish then :/
There is Cortana's icon/tile on my home screen. Never put it there before. And it is in Beta version now. No more Alpha.
- Indian User
Lumia 830
The home screen actually feels much smoother when scrolling there and also returning from apps.
My Skype still has an issue though where incoming calls don't come through unless I'm in the app :(
I agree with your first comment. Don't know about the second one since I hardly use skype.
So does this update make my phone waterproof or allow rapid charge via the microwave??
Does this update add 3.5 inches to the size of my um phone?
Nice new features: you can now add cellular data and quiet hours as quick actions to the action center.
Quite hours is already available, but cellular! That is new
Ooo you can. thats a feature everybody has been asking for.
Oh, mine is going to install at 3am.. Yeah right, like someone on DP is going to wait... lol
No bug fixes still the same C00D4E84 error all the time and I can't see the volume menu -.-
Sounds like you need to do a hard reset when you have some free time.
The joke is that I already did it 2 times -.-
That's great if celulur data is in notification .....yippee
Can anyone tell me what's in this update apart from cellular in notification centre ??
So far commenters have only noticed that + the activation of alpha Cortana in Europe. And the usual, faster OS speeds :)
Finally cellular data in notification center
Just updated
This update have Cortana in Spanish :D
Al fin Cortana en español!
Brings up live Cortana tile
Cortana always had a live tile. What do you see that's new?
Tried updating my Icon (have all previous updates) and when it installed and rebooted, I just get a completely blue screen with these words in tiny, tiny font (I can barely read it):
(0% complete) If you'd like to know more, you can search online later for the error: PROCESS INITIALIZATION FAILED
Anyone else get this? Not sure if I should reboot manually or wait or... don't want to mess things up even more.
Well, I did a soft reset (vol down + power) and it came back with spinning wheels and started the update process again... seems to work now. Phew. :)
Same exact thing happened on my Icon
Anything else than cellular mobiledata in notification center?
Cortana languages
IS THERE GAPLESS PLAYBACK??? (since it requires an OS update to the native music player)
It does not require an OS update and there is no native player.
Awesome!
Ehh, I will just pass on it. Updating basically makes your phone inoperable for an hour and says 30-60% of the battery, and unknown bug fixes isn't worth that right now.
Set it to go at 2AM while you're sleeping and its plugged in.
It was actually a pretty quick update, maybe 10-15 minutes. +1520
you can turn on off mobile data now on the notification centre
R u kidding ???
AWESOME!!! :D
yay!
This guy says the truth man! Thanks for the tip.
Think that it feels faster now!
+1520
Installed on a German 930, no Cortana to be seen anywhere. Region settings are completely set to german.
Is it just me or can anyone confirm this issue?
Check speech settings !!!! Mate
Already did that. That's what I meant with "completely set to German".
Can you see Cortana on app list
Same problem for me in Italy. Cortana is not in the apps list.
check region settings and language.
I have the same issue on a German 920
How about the GPS? Cortana requires Location Services.
Press the Search button, Write Cortana & pick Cortana Settings ... It will let you know what's missing.
There isn't any Cortana settings..
Go to Settings, swipe to the left for the Applications page. You'll find Cortana right at the top.
Same problem on my german Lumia 920... Also switching region and speech settings to USA does not bring Cortana. Reverting back to German also doesn't help.
Same for me with Lumia 920 in Italy. This is crazy, even English Cortana disappeared!
Tried the same, full US-conversion, no Cortana. Given there are others with this problem from different countries, it doesn't seem to be tied to language/country. Device issue? Account issue?
I've got no clue. But I fear it doesn't work, no matter what we try...
Same here... Lumia 920 with latest DP update. Set to German, rebooted, Cortana neither in app list nor in settings/applications. GPS activated - already was... Help?
I has this issue for french. In language menu I has english for Voice so after a général reset I set french and now cortana runs
9 more minutes for me.
I hope it fixes battery saver. Unlike the last few battery saver updates
Mobile data is in quick settings, was it always there ??
Nope, that's new.
No. Bro !!!
I think it would be alot better if they gave information about these updates. Like a post on fb page or something to tell what's included with it.
I'm waiting for someone to say it feels faster...
There was lots of people above)
Its the 5th consecutive article from Daniel... Is everyone else on vacation?
Add cellular data to notification center
It is there for me
I hope it fixes vlc!!!! I think m high today!!!
Yeah. Be careful, you might fall hard from that height.
This is an OS update. the issues with vlc will be fixed by the developers of vlc, not by Microsoft.
I knw that....Susmit...nt a dumbo man!!!
Maybe he's bout APIs?
Some of them perhaps was allowed in this update
Has anyone used the DP on an M8 yet? Aside from a few perks there isn't too much of a benefit over the out of the box build of 8.1.1 so I'm debating reinstalling it or not. The main thing I'm wondering is there any real drawback in terms of performance or does the fact that they're not major build changes mean it'll play nice with the current firmware.
I'd say, stay with what you have.
Installing.
Feems Saster ;)
Installed the update on HTC 8x T-Mobile US.
Seems....faster.
CR*P!
ATIV S users beware!
My ATIV S (latest FW w/DP already installed before) is now stuck in an endless boot loop after updating. Removing the battery doesn't help.
I hope the only way out of this isn't a reflash...
Unbelieveable how MS fcked up once more
Hey man, same here, Im big fan of MS, using WP(WM) since CE 2003, but after this update, Im so... you know... :-)
Facing exactly the Same :(
The phone is bricked...
What about Cortana to Canada???? This is ridiculous... What are they waiting for?
Just change your region to US - you'll get Cortana and it works perfectly fine in Canada - that's what I did.
Well if Canadians would just adopt English as their language rather than Canadian then maybe MS would not have to put in so much extra work to get Cortana working there. /s
Agreed. I have done the same as you but it would be nice to have the distances in km and the temperatures in Celsius. My only complaint!
Posted via the WPC App for Android!
Where is update 2? Both were suppose to be out this year.
I will wait next few hours, and then proceed. Just to be sure if everything is fine
Guys what's your system file's size ??? I'm using pfd and mine is 15.46gb.. :(
Sum Ting Wong
weird, mines only 3gb what model you using?
everyone tells verizon users to use PFD but the icon will sometimes not wake up until many seconds after hitting the power button and/or have a "loading" screen to get to the freaking start screen! Are these issues in the Cyan update? Maybe that's why verizon won't give it because that would be understandable. I'm not trying to start drama or anything I'm just saying in fact if someone could prove me wrong or teach me to use PFD on the 929 ICON with no issues i'd be mucho happy! EDIT: oh yeah and the battery drains so freaking fast PFD vs Lumia Black
Every windows phone on every network would have the same issue if network operators did not provide accompanying firmware along with a huge MS update. So clearly, Verizon is at fault here in this case.
Anyone knows if the French version will also be available in Quebec, Canada, without having to change our region to France?
Check it)
Not available...
Hey great. You guys go ahead and update while I tie my shoes... Let me know if its ok and ill be right behind ya...
Ahah, yeah, I always tell myself I'll do that, and then five minutes later I'm impatient and update it...
Same here #Bosnia
Did anyone else update and then have a Cortana live tile show up on the start screen?
When have Cortana, it already have live tile if you pin Cortana on the start screen. Nothing new.
Yeah, it shows news according to my interests
And I'm using Cyan, so it's not new feature
I don't pin Cortana. But after the update she's now on my start screen.
It's just 43mb update ,
Bugs fixes
And Cortana improvements
Have anyone attention? Daniel Rubino everywhere :)
Quick question dude, did you name your screen name after the Processor series? Or the Flower? :p
The avatar image says Qualcomm...
What is the space requirement for this in phone memory?
With last update microsoft enabled us to use SD card for update so no worries if you have the SD card installed.
If it's so, doesn't that mean removal of SD affects the OS?
Or did I miss something?
I believe it's downloaded onto the SD card, then installed to the device's internal storage.
Downloading..
This update cost 36MB ...
thanks bro, I was about to comment about size.. i am on cellular so it matters...
I hope this bring new features...
It seems faster
You late, mate.
They need to update the ability to stop rat developers like Zynga and Gameloft from hijacking our alarm clocks in order to wake me at 3am to tell me my sheep miss me or my newly finished army of ogres is eagerly awaiting to meet me.
Lol
Bro go home !! You are drunk. :P
Drunk? They know what they are doing. We can shut the apps off from showing us notifications. They know it. So they don't send notifications... They back-door Douche-Bag-Sally out alarm clocks knowing we have no way to stop it. Makes me feel like I own an Android.
Add benji bananas adventures to that list. I'm completing a level just before I sleep until I spend all my lives and like after 30mins when I'm just about to go in deep sleep the f****** remind me all my lives are full. Such as*****s! Uninstalled straight away an otherwise wonderful game
I agree the os shouldnt allow this.. but dont wnat it tooo restrictive.. Solutoin don't play those type of gay games. where people might say "get a life" .. Indie Games dont have thousands or greedy shareholders running them. and they dont waste your life building troll armies or moats or buy virtual leather trousers for weeks and monts.. just play a few hours and leave it. like a good movies.. or play 5 minuts here and there.. like smoking crack
But..but...your sheep really do miss you. My God, man..why are you such a heartless brute?
"Cortona, tell my sheep its 4am and to go play in traffic"
Loolll .. Seems something really funny going on ... XD
Haha
Enough bro !! Otherwise uh will make me cry ... :P bro patience.. Everything will be fine...
