14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft rolled out a new Windows 10 Redstone 3 build a few minutes ago, and fortunately, the company didn’t leave Windows 10 Mobile behind this time, though it’s not exactly what you are expecting.
While PC users in the Windows Insiders program are getting Windows 10 Redstone 3 build 16179 with two new features, including the already-praised Power Throttling, mobile users are provided with Windows 10 build 15025 which brings absolutely no new feature.
In other words, this is more of a build supposed to improve performance and fix bugs, so even though the company shipped an update for mobile insiders as well, it’s still a release that barely excites anyone.
What’s new in Windows 10 Mobile build 15025?
As you can see for yourselves in the changelog at the end of the article, the release notes are mostly about bug fixes, so build 15025 should provide smoother performance as compared to its predecessor.
For example, Alcatel IDOL 4S users are getting a fix improving new build delivery, as there were complaints that build 15204 that shipped last week didn’t show up on some phones. Additionally, Continuum should now work correctly on the HP Elite X3 and on the Lumia 950, while Microsoft Edge is getting several improvements on all supported devices.
Of course, build 15025 also comes with some known issues, including a bug affecting a small percentage of devices that Microsoft says could experience text message backup loss related to backup and recovery of the messaging database.
Also, there’s a weird bug that displays a wrong copyright date in System > About, with 2016 shown instead of 2017 - this is one of the issues that made many believe that Microsoft is planning to abandon Windows 10 Mobile, so the company heard these complaints and is now fixing it.
