Just went to change SMS tone, but it's not there, have they relocated it? Or is it just missing in the preview?
I've noticed, my 925 is always offering a hotspot.
Even when I'm using WiFi on the phone, the tethered hotspot appears on my list on my Windows 8 laptop.
If I connect to the hotspot, the Lumia turns on mobile data and instantly starts sharing its connection.
Not sure if this behaviour is new?
Indeed.
That's one of the reason I changed my region / language. For Cortana and Quiet time. Tested it using my missus phone, repeated phone more than the 2 times in 3min = phone ringing after 11pm for me. Can set 'favourite inner circle' allowed to phone in immediately too.
The phone clicks and alerts goes quiet between the time I set as well, along with specific days e.g. on Friday and Saturday, my quiet time is turned off.
Can also set it to automatically send replies that you're busy, great when you're in a meeting.
First time ever for any phone I've owned, my Nokia Satnav directions have been routed through my car audio system.
Might be my Fiat system is not great, but it was a surprise to get turn by turn over the speakers.
Not sure if it was a change in 8.1 or the fact I recently swapped to a 925.
I also admit I have the find my car function pinned to the start.
For Cortana, can you tell her to set a quiet time immediately for the next hour? If for example your boss drags you into an impromptu meeting, you can just tell her to shut everything up for a bit?
WP said:To turn on quiet hours now
1.Press the Search button to go to Cortana, then tap Cortana's Notebook > Quiet hours.
2.Turn on Right now to turn on quiet hours immediately. It will stay on until you turn it off, or until any automatic rules you've set up kick in.

Unfortunately you can't do it via voice command, you'll need to tap a few options when in Cortana app.
Easy timer: "wake me up in 20 mins". Job done![]()

No change log as of yet, but quiet hours being global and not needing Cortana is a big win
