What’s new in Windows 10 Mobile 14283
Phone app: In the new Redstone preview for mobile devices, Microsoft is adding missed call and voicemail waiting indicators on the tabs inside of the phone app, which will make it a little easier for you get a quick glance if someone is trying to reach you. (The new indicator will show until you navigate away from the tab.)
Outlook Mail & Calendar: The software giant is also updating its mail and calendar apps with a few new features and improvements. In Outlook Mail, you can turn off the message preview text in the message list by going to Settings > Reading > Conversation and turning Show preview text off. Additionally, you can also quickly delete junk mail in your inbox and using the new Move to junk option in the context menu. In Outlook Calendar, you can tell other people I’ll be late directly from the meeting notifications alert.
Feedback Hub: Microsoft announces that is bringing together the Insider Hub and Feedback Hub apps together for mobile and PC. As such, starting with build 14283, when opening the Insider Hub, you will get the Feedback Hub app instead. The company says that is bringing all the features from both apps and it’s also adding a few new features. “For example, in addition to upvoting feedback, you will be able to also leave comments on feedback. [Microsoft has] also redesigned the homepage in Feedback Hub to bring together announcements and quests.”

Fixed an issue where for certain languages, pressing “@” button could result the contents of the clipboard being pasted. Fixed an issue where notifications using custom sounds would be silent if the underlying audio file had been deleted.

Known issues for Windows 10 Mobile 14283
Microsoft has updated the Bluetooth AVRCP profile on mobile to version 1.5. Some cars only tell Windows what they support and vice versa during the initial pairing ceremony. In order for this update to take full effect, you need to delete your existing Bluetooth pairing with your car and then re-pair. If you have any of the Microsoft Band models paired to your phone, it will no longer sync after updating to this build due to a system API failure that occurs after the update. Workaround: Temporarily change the language of your phone until microsoft releases a fix. Additionally, you can also choose to reset your phone to get out of this state. There is an issue where the Gadgets app is not able to detect the Microsoft Display Dock on phones running Insider Preview builds, and thus cannot update the firmware version. This problem only happens for docks that haven’t been updated to version 4. Connectivity to older Wi-Fi networks using the WEP encryption security method may be broken. A workaround would be to configure your wireless routers to use WPA or WPA2 or wait for the actual fix, which Microsoft says it will be in the next Insider flight.
