Windows 10 Mobile Preview Build 14283: What’s Fixed and What’s Not

Taking Windows 10 Mobile development further, Microsoft has released Windows 10 Mobile Preview Build 14283 for Insiders in Fast ring. Build 14283 brings a few new features to Phone, Outlook Mail & Calendar apps. The build also addresses a number of bugs including device hang issues.

At the moment, the latest Windows 10 Mobile build is only available to devices that shipped with Windows 10. These devices include Lumia 950, 950 XL, 650, 550, Xiaomi Mi4, and ALCATEL ONETOUCH Fierce XL

The improvements and fixes introduced in build 14283 includes Live tile refresh logic, resolved keyboard and notification issues among other. There are also a number of known issues with build 14283 which remains to be addressed in upcoming builds. These issues includes Microsoft Band sync and Wi-Fi connectivity issues.

Windows 10 Mobile Preview Build 14283: What’s Fixed

• Addressed an issue where the background behind the All apps list would not have an overlay (causing it to appear too bright or too dark, depending on your background) if you went back to All apps list after launching an app.
• Fixed an issue causing the title of a song in volume control to flicker a few times when you pressed play or changed tracks after a pause.
• Fixed an issue some users were experiencing with Build 14267 where your device could hang while typing and reboot.
• Made some more improvements to the Live tile refresh logic. First, if there are pending notifications for several Live tiles, we will now update them in one quick sweep across the Start screen rather than one at a time. Second, if a Live tile has both badge and content updates, they will now appear at the same time. Finally, apps will now launch faster from the Start screen if there are incoming Live tile updates at the same time.
• Fixed an issue where Live tiles for certain apps (such as the Weather app) would sometimes unexpectedly be cleared of active notifications.
• Fixed an issue in which the Start screen background would appear to stutter behind the tiles when scrolling up and down the Start screen on some devices such as the Lumia 950.
• Fixed an issue where the keyboard would sometimes pop up when swiping over to the All apps list.
• Fixed an issue where icons for certain apps would appear too tiny on Live folders on the Start screen if your phone was set to 350% DPI.
• Fixed an issue where “More notifications” message in Action Center was not properly formatted.
• Fixed an issue where for certain languages, pressing “@” button could result the contents of the clipboard being pasted.
• Fixed an issue where notifications using custom sounds would be silent if the underlying audio file had been deleted. Now, if that file is not present, it will play the default notification sound.
• Connected to wireless displays should now work by going to Action Center and expanding Quick actions and choosing “Connect”.

Windows 10 Mobile Preview Build 14283: Known Issues

• Microsoft has updated the Bluetooth AVRCP profile on mobile to version 1.5. Some cars only tell Windows what they support and vice versa during the initial pairing ceremony. In order for this update to take full effect, you need to delete your existing Bluetooth pairing with your car and then re-pair.
• If you have a Microsoft Band 1 or 2 paired to your phone, it will no longer sync after updating to this build due to a system API failure that occurs after the update.
• An issue is being investigated where the Gadgets app is not able to detect the Microsoft Display Dock on phones running Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview builds, and thus cannot update the firmware version.
• Connectivity to older Wi-Fi networks using the WEP encryption security method may be broken.
