Video hands-on with Windows 10 for the Lumia 830

Well this video not talk about the Light sensor, In previous Build Windows light sensor not working properly. I mean if you make a call the sensor light dont go off, and brightness setting also not work in automatic. so if this all thing are gone then welcome windows 10 mobile.

Hey people I updated my 1320 to W10 but I am not able to find audio setting anywhere in my Setting menu. I even Searched for it.

Hello guys..!!!

 I have upgraded windows 10 for my lumia 720. But, this time all three capacitive buttons stopped working. Phones looks like paralysed from bottom. However, touch screen is working as usual. 

I did installed when it release for Lumia 1520 but I have to roll back 8.1 Update 2 immediately.

I don't know why Microsoft remove Office of WP8.1 when there is no Office Preview of WP10. I will be back WP10 TP when they release Office Preview or Stable

Any changes in Video and Music app. in W10 TP??

Now Daniel Remember it's only the test version not the official version things won't wirk  100%.

seems very fast ... i also install TP on ma lumia 830 not smooth scrolling like this.. your 830 looks buttering smooth.. any solution?plz?

Background downloading.....plzzzzz

I'm still waiting for the Denim update on my Lumia 920 (don't know whether it is eligible for the update). So lame to keep waiting. The BlackBerry Classic is lurking in my mind right now.

I was looking forward to see apps tray/drawer get more like Android instead of just "list view"only! IMHO, "grid view" makes sense since screens are becoming bigger.

My work blocks Youtube unless you use the SSL version. Can anybody post the link to the actual Youtube video instead of the embedded one in the article?

Are they changing the material design again?! I still prefer the old one

I am trying to download update but it is stuck at 0%

In settings, the white screen is very much wasted with the small icons...
Also, there is arrow on the right side of every individual notification in notification center, what is it???
Rest till now is awesome....

What about the other phones like Lumia 1320 and 1520 damn it

Feedback:
1) Bring back the old typography centric headers and no title(header) bars.
2) Bring pivot pages for each category of settings.
3) Emoticon button should be brought back. Some way to decrease the height of the keyboard manually. Dictation symbol either in suggestion bar or navigation bar. Addition of Ctrl key with Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V shortcuts. Shift(⬆ )+direction keys(navigon) for text selection. Option to copy multiple instances of texts simultaneously. An icon for cut pasting selected text like copy pasting icon.
4) A quick action toggle for turning flash on and of.
5) Download status in action+notification center.
6) Downloads page in IE/Spartan.
Way to change size of pinned live web tiles as well as transparency/translucency options for them.
7) Top and vertical menu bars in files/photos app should be placed at bottom on top of ellipses bar.
8) Interactive live tiles i.e. ability to search on Cortana, updating status updates and tweets from live tiles of facebook/twitter, composing new messages on native message app as well as other services like skype/whatsapp/viber, ability to call/text from the vertically scrollable contacts in double down people's tile etc.
9) Always bright(grey?) option for on screen navigation bar.
10) Full colour palette for accent colours including white/grey/silver as well as black. Also include user controlled opacity meter for live tiles.
11) Small, medium, large, extra large font size options for normal text(app list) as well as app titles(headers) and pivotal typography.
12) Ability to select panoramic images for system apps as well as 3rd party with user controlled blur meter.

is there still color profile settings available like it used to be on wp 8.1? 

Is it safe to download the insider preview?

what about videos and music apps?? are they different?

I want it on my 720 :(

I see the evolution of Windows beyond the icon. Windows is creative and risky.  My loyalty is strengthened.  Apple and Google have switched roles with Microsoft. I have also decided to be okay with being a niche mobile OS loyalist.  And I get it. Being a fanboy is okay. 

Does the store apps Unified with the desktop store? If yes.. How about facebook? Is it the official facebook app or the Microsoft facebook app?

What about music app in windows 10

A music app tour?

There is finally a slider for brightness

Interesting he says a lot, that usually means 'not so good'. I'm feeling 'eh' on it so far.

Can always hope that the new phone layout will bring up names above as you type numbers

Don't seems faster... please tell me that the performance will be better than this... lag on animations is horrible...

I need to know how is music app on win 10., can some one make a video

   You can update the OS through the store...? That is AWESOME! No more waiting for carriers dragging their feet or deciding which phones get which updates.

Anyone pls post youtube link for this video, youtube was blocked in my office, also I can't see "Source" anywhere in this article. Thanks in advance:)

Wonder whether MS is providing any attention to aesthetics while increasing the utility.

I don't exactly get the concept of the wallpaper in Windows 10 for phones..so is it like the tiles have the accent colour but they are translucent? Correct me if I'm wrong

i dont like talking dirty, but whenever i see the Hamburger button top left of the screen of my Lumia, i just wanna say F....................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE IS THE SPIRIT OF METRO!!!!!

Definitely right about the text size... Too small!... It really ruins the ability to do things at a glance... Can it be adjusted in the settings?

Hey Daniel! Can you please do a video for Music and Video Apps. Xbox Music was not a nice experience in 8.1.

It would be good to know how that is in windows 10.

Can snd apps via Bluetooth ?

Wow.... Is the signature bluescreen from Microsoft!! hahahaha....

Noticed that daniel had a few hit or miss when pressing something on 830 which also happened to my 830 too.

I've a question... did the default music player changed? I mean is it different from how it is on WP 8.1? Is there a new presentation for it? thanks for replaying

I wasn't even bummed about the 1020 build not being available, and I honestly don't care if one even comes after this. I like wp more than most people do but I am completely uninterested in this. It's kind of ugly ( the new settings design/app design ) and is made even more apparent when you opened the notifications settings after the display settings. And the home screen. The new design doesn't seem to fit well on phones like 8/8.1 did. I don't see why it needs to be identical, going the route apple took is much better. iOS and OSX look and feel completely different and yet work very well together. Cramming a design from desktops onto a smartphone is just silly and kind of ugly. Oh well.

Without the unique, attractive design I get absolutely nothing with wp ( aside from really great cameras with a really good app ) that I don't get on android or iOS. Nothing. The camera or camera app isn't enough. It sucks to say it, but I find just about everything that is new to be so much more bland and less appealing than wp 8/8.1.

I miss the old configuration center. The black one with big fonts and side scrolling. The new one seems to much like Android and the blue icons are ugly and the new font is too small. =S

+925 please!!!

Got it just now on my 830. It's just awesome. Windows phone is now complete!

Is anyone else's Lumia 830 have a drop in frame rate when scrolling the start screen? Mine is insane

Hopefully it gets better, because as of now, the whole new UI is just....
Yuck.

now im thinking of not upgrading cause they clearly fucked up the start screen image backgrounds, lets start complaining on uservoice now to get it back... just because some kids coming from other OS started complaining asking for wp to have the same stupid backgrounds implementation... jeez ms

Thanks Daniel. Looking forward to more information especially as it relates to installing and running apps and games. Not to mention making and receiving phone calls and texts.

Can we all stop complaining about the obvious work to be done on the TECHNICAL PREVIEW and discuss what we would like to see added (or removed) in the final build. The UI is bound to change, but how do you'll like the UX?

To all the whiners saying I don't like it I'm going to android or app$e or blackberry or whatever.... Who gives a crap. Leave already.

Thanks Daniel that was great. Unfortunately I have the 625 and 1520 so I'll have to wait a bit. One on the low... too low... And one on the high....

Am I the only one who think this is so damn ugly? Still love the layout of wp8.1...

IMHO not so shocking difference with WP. Instead to spent so many details on appearance and aesthetic details I'd like to see a benchmark comparison as well as technical differences as for example battery life, audio, GSM and so on...

Is there folders?

I LOVE WP!!  But Win10 doesn't seem that different than Win8.1......  I'm not sure what I was expecting but I didn't see that much difference.

I am not liking it so far... I know it's an early release, but some elements are here to stay, and are less attractive than WP8.1. I hope that later we will have consistency between black and white screens, and the tile appearance improves. The background looks better in WP8.1. Finally, the camera app in the 830 is still slowwwwww.

People complain that the UI has drastically changed, however from watching the video and bearing in mind that it's a Technical Preview, I say Microsoft is on the right path. I say the above on the following points. First, the Messaging feature is incredible, allowing us to reply with natural voice or text without having to open the app, I mean I can but imagine the use this will have, facebook, email, SMS, whatsapp etc. The notification pane is good too, can't complain, I don't see that as a UI change but rather as an improvement and the ability to dismiss individual notifications. I personally love the parallax transparent tiles and wish they would consider bringing them back at launch of the final product. Last, The universal app approach is going to do wonders, maps, office and music are tell tell signs of the potential this brings. Office is a beast, outlook with the word engine is by far my greatest highlight

I know it's just a technical preview but jeez they have a lot of work to do to get it up to current Windows standards. The new design changes are just hideous. I would've never switched from Android to WP if it looked like this. Again it's an unfinished preview but damn...

Daniel, why would you assume that Win10 going to your wallpaper app when you try to pick a background image (wallpaper) is a weird bug? I would assume it is a feature that would allow us to pick a default app for treating file types or certain activities. And maybe some apps like the one you use already have this hooked in, like the lens and photo editing apps do.

Still Technical Preview feels so flat. I know this is the inital release and features will be added on but first release should have that wow factor.

I prefer the new sub menu interface rather than mixing or keeping the old one.

Pay attention. We used to do 2 steps in the settings. Now it takes... 3 steps!

No big deal. nothing wow. Little changes

I dont like the settings stuff .. Seems like windows 10 but it really needs to be tied down .. A lot of the interfaces are totally different from each other there's no uniform layout we've all come to know from windows phone .. It seems like they mashed together three or four operating systems and tried to make a new one with the mash up .. Looks kinda weird to me

I'm just home from work and now finishing up the installation process for Windows 10 Preview. From what I've seen thus far - the Preview build looks pretty nice.

Lumia 635

- New dialer simply looks horrible. Worst I've seen in years.

- Settings screen has icons but now tiny text, 3 different styles, extra steps to dive into and jarring white theme contrast.

- Wallpapers, preferred the intile option.

- Cortana, again jarring white theme.

- Action Centre slight improvements but hardly looks elegant.

- Hamburger menus and top centric buttons. Congrats you've just poured the worst iOS and Android feature

Overall this reminds me sadly of 6.5 and a mishmash of different styles which none of work. It brings very little new to the table and sadly for me is a big step backwards. Know its only a preview, but looks like a complete waste of time so far and they've got a lot of work to do if they want to retain this WP customer.

Does it only let have the background BEHIND or can i get the background ON live tiles like 8.1?

Guess you forgot to show the new messaging app and the keyboard. But still thanks for the video. It's great

Is there no external survey team that they ask about the design? I mean... everyone HATES the new design language. Can someone please start a petition to bring back good old metro? If I wanted a Android design I would have bought an Android phone....

Huge WP fan here. I will admit that I'm a touch disappointed too as others have said. Firstly though the following is obvious:

• This a TP and menus and UI wil be consistent by release.
• As MS have achieved with every realesd since WP7, everything will be fluid and smoothe by release

My disappointments so far include (and I'm hoping things will/may improve/change over time):

• Some of the new menu/ui choices make this feel like Android. I hope they are just testing the waters and will rely on feedback
• Really hope there is an option to keep transparent tiles/background as wp8.1. its very unique and cool, though I doubt they will
• Hoping some bigger changes and new ground breaking features will be added, not just new UI, extra actions and new menus. We may need to wait for new hardware for these new features and also wait for CP as MS usually keep new features tight under wrap till CP.

I don't think its as bad as some people make it to be. This is a TP and its the first time we've ever been able to test one, so I'm pretty confident things will improve big time as we get updates, but I do hope some of my concerns are fixed or come later.

So the new recipe: using WP 8.1 all the way until your phone is broken. Than move to Blackberry or iPhone.

Im kinda finding this whole windows 10 thing to be, well... underwhelming. These last several years I use to be so gungho to update/upgrade but to be honest.... quite happy with 8 right now. Im not liking the whole onedrive new way to sync thing on in the tech preview. Not really liking phone anymore either. They really seem to be moving away / we seem to be growing apart. I'm bummed about it.

Dont get me wrong. Not going to run to apple or anything but just feeling to agnostic anymore.

This video made me sad. Aethetically speaking WP is dead in this build. Although this is an early tech preview still IMHO, I'm not liking where Microsoft is heading in terms of design.

I kinda liked the old dialer. This new one is ugly as hell.

Does anybody really believe Microsoft will replace or remove all those ridiculous elements, that were copied from android directly? Guys, they had a lot of time to consider how to improve our favorite platform! And finally showed us off this monster! I just don't trust them after this!

Can you choose a different accent color than the 16 pre-programmed ones? I will definitely be requesting a color picker once they bring 1520's in the loop. It's boring only having a few select colors to choose from.

I'm pleased with a lot -- the foundation is there though the UI will continue to be polished. Improvements on the desktop will push the phone forward, and vice versa, so this can only be good news. The only thing that worries me is the new white screens -- I'm wondering how those will hold up on my AMOLED 925 and if the dark theme will change those. (I'd go full dark on my PC and phone).

The tile flipping animation is a nice touch, it's unlike Windows 8 which is nice. Though I do wonder why reviewers always have such horrible color combinations on their review phones. Rainbow background and deep indigo tiles? Give me some nice dark grey tiles over a soothing landscape anyday. 

Daniel,

I don't know if it's the you tube video but it seems to not have smooth transitions. Can you confirm that it does and that it's not my you tube video settings?

Thanks

Not digging these vista style transparency effects...windows phone introduced flat design and minimalism that all other OSs have been emulating and copying and now we are being served this rubbish! Hamburger menus you've got to be kidding me! ALERT: Too many chefs in the kitchen! Design by commitee NEVER works! Very disappointing overall...the end!

Can anyone tell us if we have the ability to make our tiles completely transparent / clear like we can now with WP8.1? Everything I have seen so far shows colored tiles which are only somewhat transluscent. This is distressing to me. Not much point in having a backgraound if every single app tile is going to obscure it.

Oh, I see a lot of complaining going on. Lets all remember that is a very early technical build. I am sure that much further along things will improve. Lets stop slagging it off and provide actual valuable feedback eh??

"Preview currently works with the following phones – as long as they have at least 8 GB of storage and Windows Phone 8.1 was already installed on the phone at the time of purchase"

Not yet available for my Lumia 1020 or my HTC 8x. I'd rather not install it on my Lumia tbh but I don't mind messing with the 8X!! Hopefully it'll be available further down the road.

Not liking what I'm see dso far with Windows 10 on phone. Especially with UI. It's still early though so hopefully things change.

I don't like the white background in setting and Cortana, white = more light, mean's more battery use, this is ugly anyway, still prefer the transparent tile beside of transparent color tiles !! Only the notifications center seems a lot better... Im not in a hurry so there is a lots of builds to come before i will install it... Maybe i will wait for the official release, 8.1 work pretty fine for me so i don't really care !!!

The whole thing looks confused.... if this is where we are headed, I don't see anyone jumping from Android or iOS for this... 

But.... let's give them some time and see what shakes out.   In the end, W10 phone and Win 10 for PC might be the most fluid and beautiful OS ever. 

Windows 10 on Phone is great... and will be better till final release and also get better each day after release like always from 1982 windows is stable fast secure and reliable. Thank you Daniel. android fanboys please go away and stick with your Hangroid OS thanks you!

Can you at least make the tiles fully transparent? Honestly can't stand opague colored tiles covering up the background.

Thrilled.

New Office apps!??? Is Mail updated?

I'm not liking this at all. It looks like a cross between windows phone an Android (and not in a good way). Menus all over the place, some screens with the hamburguer button other withouth it. Where is the UI consistency of Windows Phone?. Seriouslly, i had really high hopes for this but so far i'm not happy at all.

Alright, hopefully Microsoft is checking this page and paying attention. The dialer was not broken, nor did it need to be redesigned. Tweaked, maybe, but not redesigned. If nothing else the dialer has always been EASY TO USE. You cannot get away from functionality simply for the hell of it. Not only functionality, but EASY functionality
Seriously, Microsoft put the dialer back to what it was. 
Keep the settings silder buttons the same. Again, no need to change something that is easy, and NOT BROKEN.

I get that they want to evolve the design. But there are ways to do that in a subtle way without the OS  becoming stagnant... like ios.
I'm all for change as long as it's right and purposeful. No need to do it just to do it.

Thank you for the prompt video Daniel and team!

Unfortunately I gotta work on some laptops first which just got dumped on me before I can watch the hands-on video. So its going to be couple of hours....Damn it!

Hey Daniel. Good video. I was wondering if the background in Cortana can be changed to dark? . That light background would be very hard on the battery. . Also good you show us more on the messaging. Can cortana send an email yet?

But what about the new keyboard?

I have no idea what kind of great plan MS have on live tile and tile UI.

I liked tile and tile UI when MS announced wp for the first time. But even though five or six years have passed, all they have tried to improve tile UI is to give us option to change the size of tile and transparent tile and which mean they can't give any reason why we have to use tile and tile UI than icon and launcher UI like old windows and Mac, ios and android.

To be honest, live tile and tile UI look different but don't look beautiful and don't do functional like ios and android and that's why WP and windows 8.1 have failed. 

So I hoped that MS would admit their failure on live tile and tile UI and try to change to fix and improve them on windows 10 mobile but MS might think that people love tile and tile UI so they keep them without fixing and changing at all.

MS, where is Metro 2.0 ?

I came to the platform over its wonderful design. How could the new design attract anybody?

Anyone notice if the poor sensitivity in the search button has changed? Hoping it was a software issue for the 830 AT&T ?

maybe because i cant experience it myself - but i dont like the new settings app...looks odd...

The new mixed interface means third-party developers now can create ANY interface, because Microsoft is doing that itself. Waiting for Android ports with no changes! Fie!

I hate white and black themes they will probably make it unified I love black!

Is it compatible with #tileArt? My new favorite thing about windows phone and then they go and change the way background images are viewed on the start screen.

Why does the dailer and calculator have no visual keys but just text? It's not consistent with the regular keyboard which has visual keys. MS is probably to blind to notice this and the billions of the inconsistent things. I will be really surprised if the UI is polished in just 4-5 months. So far w10 on phones is a disappointment and looks like interns are toying with w8.1.

When will Daniel learn to keep the phone straight facing the camera?? Nobody holds their phone that way and it is harsh on the eyes.

Gabriel was right with his riddle because this doesn't look like a new release but just an upgrade from 8.1 to 8.1316

Nope Nope Nope

I really like the new setting page. I noticed for some options they still use old style page with black background and big texts and for some they are using new style with white background. I am sure because it is in preview stage and they will make them all look same at the end but have to say the new setting page, icons, and white background for setting pages looking very nice and I hope they don't go back to old style.

Windows Phone OS is really good but what made many people not to try or switch when it came out was mostly UI and not having much options to change it.

Microsoft from begining said they believe phone is personal and each person should have his/her start screen, color, etc. but in reality they didn't offer much option for peopl to change colors, background and etc.

But it seems finally with Windows 10 they start to offer what was missing all these years.

speed dial @ the top? why are most frequently most used functions at the top, can you still swipe from left to right to show history and speed dial? can someone tell me.....

How could you forget about the music app!

I'm stickin to 8.1 until I see some major changes for the good

Looks the same to me!

Even the 8.1 update cooler shitt then this come on mannnn

Some apps have hamburger menus, others don't. The whole settings UI won't fit the current app UI. INCONSITENT OVER 9000. MS, you killed it for me. Thx. 

big microsoft bullshit, this should be called windows 8.1.2 not the big new windows 10

It's transforming into android did you not see the late response times when Daniel tapped around in the settings fuckkkkk

Great video Daniel!

Ugly as fuck, that is no the Windows Phone concept that brought me to this platform

No denim for my 1520 now no early 10 *sigh* to think I spent 45k on my phone -..-

Cool. Well, I'm in no hurry now.

I am hating that white and dark theme combination for the system. Hope its not going to be the same when final build are released. Its just reminding me of the Android system. Not impressed at all. :(

This is such a let down... This looks like WP8.1 mixed with some horrible Android influences, I don't see any innovation. Lollipop and iOS 8 look much better than this, and I'm a hardcore WP fan. This is a sad day for me. 

My god, how terrible it is! This is not a Windows phone at all! The new applications look as if they were ported from android, the settings menu has an ugly and confusing mixed pages. And so on!
If I chose between WP 7.8 and WP 10, I swear I would choose the first one!

Favorite new feature has to be respond to text messages from the toast notification and notification shade.

When swiping to the app list, the background should be dimmed the same way it dims when you pull down the notification center. This vertical line where it suddenly turns dark looks terrible. It's like sliding between two separate screens.

The blue screen is your accent color.

The preview is suppose to give us a vision where windows phone is headed the future doesn't look to bright tbh

What looks good is the new Alarm app! Love it!

This all seems like I just changed a launcher in my Lumia a.k.a Android ... Over half baked in design UI... Hopefully the full preview by June on a new flagship will be a cohesive experience... All the best MS, and fellow fans - keep the faith!

It would be nice to see a video of Spartan and what's new in it. I want to know if its possible to stream football like on the iPhone

Looks extremely unfinished. I know it's a preview (pretty much a beta) but I'm afraid that some things are going to stay exactly like that in the final build. Just feels to me that way.

Looks good.

Don't think its gonna change much for market share though.

can you do it on L730? and what about new music and video app? any updates there?

Can you test out tile headers to see how they render with the background image setup? Thank you!

Thanks for this video

he mentioned the type was small in settings and i found out why ... the system type size is turned all the way down in "ease of access" .... i bumped the text sixe setting up and poof!  much better

So live folders are still in W10 for phones and tablets, but will they now be in W10 for PC?

If they made bigger tiles I suppose is because in the near future we will interact more with them on the start screen I'm right? If not, what's the propose?

Get real you guys this update is bullshitt Daniel even knows it lol

The dialer pad is horrible, increase the hit/target areas, its basic usability. Needs alot of refining and more consistency.
Also menu/ hamburger icon on the top left not usable.

enjoy your botnet

Thanks for the quick review.  Working nice on my Lumia 830 on Bell Canada here too.   I will see about putting on on of my other supported devices the Lumia 635.  As one can expect there is likley extra debugging code in the release which seems to result in a bit of lag and reduced performance, which can be expected in these early builds.  All in all, it looks like a pretty good release, so far, and moving in the right direction, and I'm pleased with it.  Nice having similar navigation and features on the phone to what is on my Surface Pro  2 test machine running the Windows 10 Technical Preview.   Hope to soon upgrade SP3 too.

Not impressed. Guess I feel a little bit more at ease. Same stuff, different looks. The features that I wanted is just not there: Swipe multitasking without having to hold the back button, dual screens like windows RT and Gnote, dedicated music player with slider and on screen volume controls, basically many of windows RT features...

I have a question. Are there no transparent tiles in windows 10? Because in the video I see the usual WP8.0 kind of tiles with the accent color
