Another DP update, enabling EFIGS Cortana and mobile data toggle

Published by at

I genuinely thought that there would be no more firmware updates in the Developer Preview programme for a while (under Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1) - after all, Denim is imminent for non-DP phones. However, the need to roll in the Cortana alpha for the EFIGS countries has meant another small update, though there are some under the hood fixes, of course, plus a new mobile data toggle that can be added to Action Center.

The version bump from 8.10.14203 to 8.10.14219 - surely, surely this will be the version/build that ships in the Denim OTA updates?

As usual, this update is available in 'settings/phone update' for anyone enrolled in the developer preview programme. And, before everyone asks, no this isn't Lumia Denim, but I'd bet that this is the build of Windows Phone that Denim will include - Denim has the Microsoft/Nokia/Lumia additions and extras, of course.

Aside from the enabling of Cortana 'alpha' in the countries mentioned, this update also adds a new Action Center toggle, for 'mobile data'. I've lost count of the number of times I have to toggle this, especially when swapping SIMs (I know, I know, first world problems), so an official toggle on the pull-down is especially welcome:

Anything else you've noticed that's new?
