Warning: Windows 10 Mobile Insider Build 16212.1001

Oh my. It took me back to Windows Phone 8. This will be fun to get fully updated again.

Yes the WDRT worked OK on the second time around :)

I used WDRT quite often with earlier mobile builds as I had to revert back to Windows Mobile 8.1 due power issues. Using 8.1 my battery discharges with about 2% per hour, all services like location, WiFi etc. on whereas some Mobile 10 builds discharged over 40% per hour all services turned off making phone an expensive useless brick.

Old screenshot from mobile build 14322:



Never had any issues restoring with WDRT.

Update: A note about the unintentional release of builds today - Windows 10 Forums

After a couple of hours today my mobile is back to normal. I just had to deal with a constant stream of updates for the OS then updating and downloading apps and uninstalling ones I never use.
Not managed to receive any Insider updates yet though but suppose it might take a day or so for that.

pfft... this is not becoming of the premier software house, sorry to say, but things are slipping in Redmond... and we thought Steve was wonky?

Deployment can never be haphazard (shows poor management ) - in business this would never happen ( not without serious consequences...let's hope there is no repitition)

Hey @DooGie, :)

Did you already install and setup the Windows Insider app, and set your phone to Get preview builds in the ring you want?

That points me in the right direction Brink. I set my phone to receive Insider builds but forgot about the Insider app
