***The Official Nokia Lumia 920 Thread***

Stephen Elop (his PA more likely) will be hearing from me, we need answers as to why the update has been certified for American release yet markets in Europe won't be getting it till February. I was thinking January cause there is always a Christmas lull so a little extra time is needed for Europe. Americans don't really get as much guaranteed holiday as we do.
 
Wooohooo Good news.

Vodafone UK has published a new entry on its blog detailing plans for Windows Phone 8. The carrier previously unveiled that it would be stocking a selection of Windows Phone 8 hardware in early 2013. More details have been revealed as the company has now confirmed that a new Windows Phone will be joining the Lumia 820, HTC 8X and HTC 8S. It would appear as though the Lumia 920 exclusivity deal with EE is drawing to an end.

The flagship Nokia handset will be making its way to Vodafone in the new year. We had doubts that the manufacturer would continue down the exclusive path with EE, especially with all the negativity the new 4G network has received from consumers due to data limitations, expensive pricing and sub-par service. We even wrote up a short opinion piece on why consumers dislike the new network.

I can see Nokias plan now. Make the free chargers arrive on the day they announce we aren't getting the 'critical' software update for 2 months, very clever!
 
Does Facebook suck for everyone else? Works far better on iPhone and Android for me. Updates and messages are v slow to come through.

I believe the update was always scheduled as Q1 2013. :)
 
Oooooooh.... Looks like the update is making its way on to Nokia servers. As its showing for a number of product codes. (1232.5951.1249.1001 - 1003) :D

Heard from EE tech support tonight that we will get Portico mid Februay, the guy said they have not received the firmware yet and are expecting it in early January at which time it will go through network trials before release, prob means march I would imagine.

They will already have the firmware, it just need to jump through all the internal hoops to be signed off.

Orange_CH build is already showing on Nokia's servers. :p

I find the Facebook integration is far quicker and reliable than the app itself. The app seems unresponsive to touch as well sometimes, which is annoying.

Don't forget though, it was absolute garbage on iOS for a LONG time so it's not something we aren't used to. A slick first party app for WP is a bit of a pipedream I think.
 
I used to get 24+ everyday until recently, well until I installed WeatherFlow actually.

I have weather flow update every 3 hours, which incidentally is almost the exact time between me going to bed and the battery deciding to empty itself. 3 nights running it does the same, I suspect because the phones locked, the WIFI is off, it opens a 3G connection instead, but doesn't close it when its finished updating.

A few more days testing various things and I'll post my findings.

I am getting reduced battery these days, and that's hourly update. I hope it updates soo, lock screen is awesome and almost spot on accuracy. When it updated to raining, I stepped out and it did. Nice :D but I keep getting it blocked in background for whatever reason, it's happening on it's own :|

Use this

Touch.facebook.com - a lot better than app. Otherwise, all other integration works great.

Oh and my charger arrived!

Just to confirm, Meifeng case don't stop wireless charging :)
 
So what about those that flashed the CV_GB firmware? Surely, that doesn't have to go through the carriers so why not release it now?

UK firmware isn't showing yet on the servers, you probably could do a bit of a frankenstein build if you want the update. However, the UK one should show up shortly.
