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

[RSR]

Considering this phone is meant to be going to more networks in January o2 have absoloutely nothing on their site about it, even the coming soon and on the horizon sections have bugger all. I called carphone warehouse today and they know nothing about it either..Nokia as usual being clear as mud about when exactly it will be available.

O2 have yet to officially confirm that they will be stocking the L920.

 

[RSR]

is that an only OS update or OS and firmware?

by the way - after doing the flash like you say, will it preserve my apps and settings?

The only thing missing I noticed was some of my save games / game progress, which is no biggy for me.

However, all my main data as text messages, setttings etc. are retained.

 

[RSR]

Almost a certainty they will, theyre just building upto a big annoucement about it which will no doubt shock all of who seen it coming a mile off.

I am pretty sure they will do, but O2 have never been the quickest to confirm things unless its the iPhone.

 

[RSR]

Yeah seems to be apples uk buddies for that. Just snag one in carphone warehouse or somewhere if theyre not gonna get it in stock, not a big deal really

I think that's going to be a safe bet doing it that way.

 

[RSR]

Damn, just finished setting everything up from reverting back from the Belgian firmware.
Oh well, here I go again as this firmware is a must, massive differences for the camera

VAR EURO2 DE CV - 1232.5951.1249.1001 - If you want / need 4G
CV_GB_VAR261096 - 1232.5951.1249.1004 - If you just require the update.

My main issue is one of stability, after installing the Belgian release, I had a phone that spent 90% of its time in a locked up/ frozen state, completely unusable and it would take ages before the reset worked.
Going for the GB one and will see what happens

Mines been pretty stable so far.

 

[RSR]

Andy, will this only work with unlocked phones? Mine's on an orange contract.

It should work with any technically, well as long as its the same model for example RM-821.

More really positive news for Windows Phone.

Windows Phone fastest growing operating system of 2012 with 290% growth

Windows Phone has ended 2012 with a bang, crossing the 1% worldwide net usage market share barrier to end December with 1.05% of mobile internet usage, according to NetMarketShare.

While this of course represents only a small percentage of all users, it is of note that the operating system is the fastest growing mobile operating system, with growth close to 6 times that of Android and 18 times that of iOS.

andy: any confirmation about the enabling of 4G?

Using which firmware?

I am currently using the CV_UK firmware and it doesn't have 4G enabled.

 

[RSR]

im referring to the one you used yesterday (the update you had done yesterday)

I just updated using the same product code as my current code (CV_GB) which doesn't have 4G enabled.

I believe there is a chappy here > Link who is running German firmware who has 4G enabled.

 

[RSR]

If you have backup active, you should be able to restore on any firmware/device as long as you use the same Microsoft account.

Not app data unfortunately in my experience.

I just got my yellow 920 and it's stunning...far better than the black version that's for sure!

Pictures please.....

 

[RSR]

er??

 

[RSR]

Yep, but as a last attempt, Im returning it to its original FW.

No good
Phone starts up, gets to the setup screen and I cant get any further as there is no touch functionality...

Id look to getting the phone RMA'ed

 

[RSR]

New EE firmware is showing up on DPM 1232.5951.1249.1017

 

[RSR]

Just installed and quickly gained level 5, but I can't figure out how to build a second base

I am stuck on that as well, I am just over level 10 with my crusade.

 

[RSR]

Anyway of telling if this is the portico update?

It is from the version number.

 

[RSR]

Not sure this will be as appealing but the 920 successor should have aluminium body and be thinner and lighter.

Best put some money by for one.

Edit. D/W

 

[RSR]

Think it's worth flashing or does this mean we are only a few days off an official release? I've noticed when I go to check for updates I get the error that it cannot check at this time.

It's completely up to you. I believe EE will probably have the last say when it can go live, id give them a ring to ask them. As they need to approve the firmware before its released, well that's how it was in the past.
