Nokia Lumia 930 – update to 8.1

A message popped up on my lumia 930 stating it was ready to upgrade to windows 8.1... "cool" - was my thought - upgrade away....

After upgrading.....

• Cortana is available on the start menu
• if I try and open a text message, it crashes
• if I try and make a phone call, it crashes
• If it try and reboot, by pressing the power button, it hangs... and I had the joy of waiting until the phone ran out of battery until I could use it again (approx. 6 hours)... its not as if my mobile is important to my business of life in general... so that's fine. (that's sarcasm BTW Americans)
• After that, it actually seemed to work fine

In short.... upgrade at a time where you don't need your phone for a few hours (as in 6-8)

* update 19/01/2015 * - Today I have found the phone hangs after entering my PIN..... and since there is no way to remove the battery... I get to wait another 4-6 hours..... yay (it has currently been hung for 2 hours....)
