microsoft patch tuesday update - Microsoft Surface

Just read on Microsoft news that were due a big update today,so just done a scan and indeed there were 13 updates ranging from flash to a hardware update but by mistake I press the update button so I didn't actually see what all the rest of the patches actually did it came in at about 120mb anyone got any info as mine currently downloading

I didn't get the "System Firmware Update - 12/11/2012" until after installing the other updates so be sure to scan for new updates a second time after rebooting.

Ok cheers, has it made any difference to your surface?

I'm able to stream DivX movies, don't think I could do that before.

I had a "System Hardware Update - 2012/12/11", and it was available in the first list of updates. No "System Firmware Update" after the first updates.

Can now have more columns on start screen.

4 columns? How do you set that up?

You can't, it's a bug.

You can just tilt your screen

Can you see if you are still able to lock screen rotation via the brightness menu?
[UPDATE]
For some reason my screen got stuck in one direction, and the rotation lock button also disappeared. A quick reboot and she's buzzing along.

Agreed. I rebooted once and it looked like this for about a half hour

Oh, and it does appear that multitasking/switching apps works a little smoother for extended periods

You still can.

Just applied the update, not noticing any difference yet, except that IE10 asked me if I wanted to re-apply recommended safety settings, to which I said no, because I have turned off MS's flash whitelist so I can use the Napster website.

Haven't noticed any difference to tell you the truth, in fact mine seems a little slower

mine is a lot faster... placebo maybe? but i bet it is faster..

I am on a VIVO Tab RT and I noticed faster performance on my tablet as well.

I'm still unable to connect to my TV with a third-party MicroHDMI-HDMI cable, so I guess I was expecting Microsoft to correct this issue...
Can't say I notice any difference in performance either.

[Q] Install WP7 on LG WP7 PreRelease verion?

Hello.
I bought a LG Windows Phone 7 Pre Release version that has the not final version of Windows Phone 7 installed.
The download of content via Marketplace is not possible.
I talk about the device is visible here: http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/lg-windows-phone-7-oem-apps-dumped-and-available/
Is it possible to install the actual/final version of windows phone 7 on this device?
Thanks
I also have this device (LG GW910). Current Firmwire version is 7003 (looks like a debug version, but stills fully functional), but zune hadn't founding any updates (i tell about yesterday's update).
if it is really build 7003 then it looks like the update will be for you to .
if you look inside the update then you will see that the build number 7003 is there to , so just wait a few day's and see if it work (the update is pulled by MS and will be re released later)

How did you watch inside? Using sniffer, i've downloaded 4127275_2c13fa19e584b0b758fd2c4396876559ba291b63.cab, which constains a txt file, but i didn't found anything useful there.
We all have build 7003 on our Panthers. I haven't gotten the update yet either. Unfortunately I think all we can do is sit and wait.

I was wondering about that, but I don't know. Since we're unlocked and unbranded, I thought we'd be the first to receive the update.
I guess a good question is, are there people out there with Samsung Taylor devices that also have no gotten it?

Good point, and I don't think you can change it.
look here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963431 "
it is a .cab and in that .cab are a few .cab.pku files (look at the name of the files and you will see what I mean)
to open the cab.pku you just remove .pku and then extract .

I have a pre-release focus, it's unlocked and no branding it seems. When I check for an update on Zune it says my phone is up to date 7.0 (6512), but no....it's not up to date at all. I wonder if I will be able to update?

Wow. I hope you get an update more than we do.
Btw, as of today (2/25) still nothing.

I Think I *May* Have Discovered Something

I was poking around the phone today and I think I found an app' that really doesn't need to run at all times and probably doesn't need to be installed on the phone.
I noticed Adobe,which in the PC world has it's own "auto updater" ["AIR", IIRC] and I noticed HTC has their own little "widget" installed - Tell HTC.
Has anyone else notice this before?
For the guys who haven't seen it,it's in Settings/About Phone/Tell HTC.
Try turning that widget off and let me know if you see a difference.
I sure did.
My apologies if this was covered before....I'm new here and it's late.
what type of difference? i don't see this app/program running in my task manager. the only time i have seen it come up was when the phone crashed and i got a screen prompt that said "notify htc about unexpected shutdown with Tell HTC".

The Adobe reader app updates through the market so it is the market that checks every so often or when you go to it not like on a pc where it is the program that checks.
The Tell Htc widget/app is to report system errors to Htc, so it wont really make any difference. The only difference you will see if it is turned off is that when you have a system crash the pop-up asking if can send the crash info to Htc wont happen any more and no info will be sent.

I noticed the screen was much more responsive to touch gestures.
I didn't take notice of any change in memory usage.
I guess I'll have to look at a few more things.

Thanks for clarifying that so I don't need to hunt through menus and menus looking for it.
Probably a total placebo effect, but I feel like things are a little snappier? I'll keep an eye on the screen responsiveness as I go through this power cycle and will report back with some thoroughly unscientific results.
that is good trick. I also don't like the "show me" which is part of sync.
Don't know how to uncheck it.
this makes my phone no faster or snapier than what it is

Yup, this definitely speeds your phone up. It worked for me by making everything more responsive. I thought everyone already knew about this. Its not placebo. Its legit.

Thanks my screen is wicked fast.
Just to follow up from my post earlier today with a quick, anecdotal report:
I disabled the HTC reporting as suggested by the OP around noon today, while I was at ~80% charge. It's about 9 hours later after moderate to heavy use today, and at ~15% charge my screen still has yet to lag out on me during unlocking or swiping between screens.
For reference, I would usually notice little stutters throughout the day, and especially more so once my battery dropped below the 25% threshold.
No idea why something as seemingly innocuous as error reporting would have such a marked effect, but that is honestly the only variable that I can recall changing all day today.
The responses in this thread seem like a mixed bag of results, but hopefully these good results continue for me and some lucky others!
just disable "show me" with fre3vo way better than to turn off background data..
Glad it helped some people.

The update was pulled due to a game booster issue which caused games to appear as a black screen. I'm sure they will fix it and re-release the update soon.

Damn... Is it working now? Any fix you found? My game booster isn't working like most people who updated, but at least the games are working after reseting Game booster.
I uninstalled the updates on YouTube and my WiFi started working. I then went on YouTube and updated it. All is good again. Phone appears to work much better and battery life is improved ?
Anyone have the OTA file?

UI Lag fixable with a reboot

Hi peeps. I recently bought a Poco X3 and yesterday i noticed pretty prominent UI Lag. Apps stuttered while opening. While using whatsapp opening chat threads felt like using a 4 year old phone. After scrolling through threads someone had suggested rebooting and after i rebooted the lag was gone and it was smooth as hell again.
Anyone else experienced this scenario? Any permanent fixes?
Any help would be highly appreciated guys
Thank you!
Same here. I just hope they'll fix it on the next update.
I've been facing the same issue man since I bought my Poco x3 in Pakistan..seems like you're from there too idk..and it happened like this that I felt stuttering and slower animations..when multitasking..and also whole scrolling in WhatsApp..it really didn't felt smooth..this happened on both 60 and 120hz..now after the mui 12.6 update..I'm running it on 60hz and without restart it's going smooth for now..have to see how longer it stays like this..there's no other prominent issue with the device except this..just needing more software optimisations I guess. Also man can you tell me that if after restarting Ur device runs smoothly for how long..because the same happened with my device too but then the lag kept on returning..
Also I'm curious..if you're running on mui 12.6? Can you check the update settings and see if you can view the update log..or the what's new button..because I can't unfortunately..it's a bug as people say with this current update..but If you can check and tell me then it would help

yep i'm from Pakistan. Probable that it' something with our variant? but feels good to know that it's not only me so the probability of a faulty device is ruled out. But to answer your question, i could not rule out the exact time after which it starts lagging again because since this happened it kinda became an anxiety; figuring out when it's gonna die down again
so i rebooted twice after that. but i highly doubt it's a hardware issue. probably software. Sad after investing 40k but let's see what happens. Fingers crossed!

That doesn't mean you can't get into troubles after the upgrade. In fact, my phone received EMUI 11 yesterday, without doing any tricks to get it, and now I have a problem, the upgrade enabled VoLTE by default and the option to disable it is not longer available on the settings...
I finally got it today
Anybody feel shorter battery time on emui11? I updated yesterday and everything looks very smooth but battery seen shorter than usual
I got it a few days ago (Italy)
For one terrible discovery: when using gesture navigation, you can now have one-handed mode only with emui launcher.
With Emui 10 you had to swipe diagonally from one bottom corner of the screen. With Emui 11 you instead have to swipe horizontally on the bottom edge of the screen and keep pressed, but this gesture only works with stock launcher.
Stupid
I didn't really notice any other true change, so this update for me was worse than worthless, is it possible to downgrade?

I didn't, but in the last few weeks I've been using my phone as a wireless hotspot so it's either plugged in for charging or fastly discharging due to high 4G traffic
Btw, thanks for the tip about downgrading. I'm not very keen to reinstalling and reconfiguring everything, so I'll see how much this missing feature bugs me before going down that road
