What are the changes in the new version of the OS and how can I get a preview and is it worth it?

Full changelog for WP 8.1 can be foundhere
Also advise to seescreenshotssystems fromAlex
Installation instructions are set out in the corresponding news onsavagemessiahzine.comaboutthislink. In short: after downloading the Prewiew for Developers application, register the Microsoft Appstudio, enter it and download 8.1 as a regular update. Setting the preview, remember that all responsibility lies only on you! To risk or not - the choice is yours.

Preparing to upgrade takes a very long time! What to do?

Do not panic, this phenomenon is quite normal, preparing for the upgrade takes a long time, especially during the installation of the second package. After 90% it may seem that the installation is frozen, but it is not.

The installation process hung at the very beginning, what to do?

This usually happens when upgrading to a low battery level. Simply plug in the charger and the installation process will start in the next couple of minutes.

[Koteiko]

How to change the speed of the device: for better or for worse?


In the best, you will immediately notice that the animation has become even smoother, and scrolling smooth. But note that the first download after the update can be a big slowdown. After rebooting, everything stabilizes.

It is only if you select the region of the United States and English in the settings. But soon, after the release of 8.1, Cortana will learn Russian

Is it possible to store cards on a memory card using Lumia Storage Check beta? Do other applications from Nokia work?

All applications from Nokia are fully compatible with 8.1, so you can use the function of moving maps to the SD card. To do this, you need to download the application Lumia Storage Check beta and use the appropriate option in it. After installing the cards on SD, delete the applicationnot necessary.

What is the release time for the Retail-Upgrade to 8.1?


So far, Microsoft has not spoken this information, since it also depends on all manufacturers of WP-backgrounds. Approximate dates for the release of the update - June 2014.
If you type the words Windows Phone 8.1 on the keyboard, the keyboard will highlight the assumption "June". Thus, Microsoft is hinting at the release date of the update.

Updated Retail update will be available in late June - early July
