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

I still don't quite know what it gives us?! Andy (aka the showoff) can you enlighten me please.

google portico, there is a list somewhere listing the improvements, but the camera fix was one of them

 

[dhatton1978]

The camera one was the only one i knew of but I've just read about the always on wifi which is a v good update.

 

[Egon]

Have been meaning to post the question for a while but keep forgetting.

Does anyone find that the "Set time automatically" option doesn't seem to do anything?

 

[Gorki247]

I assume this update is for EE handsets only? I flashed mine with the CV-GB variant a while ago. I assume this will get updated but I'm a bit worried it may not happen for a while yet as there are currently no devices sold with this firmware (at least not officially) so no reason for Nokia to release the update.

It does absolutely nothing, in fact in my case I think it does more harm than good. I have had random problems with the handset whereby i would hit the sleep/wake button and nothing would happen and I'd have to do a soft reset. I noticed that this resets the time and date so I thought it may have something to do with the automatic update function so I turned it off. Since then (3 weeks) ago I haven't had a single problem.

The automatic time and date is only supported by specific operators. To be more precise, operators that support NITZ;

- O2
- Tesco
- Giffgaff?
- Vodafone

If you're not on one of those networks, switch it off.

I'm on an unlocked EE phone with a 3 SIM and I got the update OK also.

Useful to know. Thanks.

But Egon's Orange phone and I assume your unlocked EE phone, are running EE carrier firmware. I'm wondering about those that flashed their phones with the CV GB variant.

 

[Mr Jones]

awesome, thanks. is there a similar option for the smartglass remote?

Unfortunately no.
I too want something for that - maybe when more game are supported on Smartglass will we get a run in background mode.

 

[Skilid]

No problem.

Also, everyone should get the update, but bear in mind it is staggered so that the update servers don't get overloaded. I believe it runs over the course of a week.

 

[Cpfoxhunt]

Just got it on EE, excited! Hope it fixes the battery!

Oh and don't worry if it seems to stick on 'preparing to install update' after downloading - it works in the end.

 

[^JP^]

Just updated, any update notes?

 

[sativa]

The update states that you can delete selected browsing history - I can only find the original option to delete all browsing history - am I missing something?

 

[gigeorge]

Excellent, I shall hold off for now. Have you a source for this info by the way?

My friend works for voda in newbury.. 6th..

Hold the specific link when you view under history/Recent, select delete. Viola!

 

[Skilid]

You also now get draft text messages so it doesn't just drop what you've typed if you press back. There are a few little things, I'll see if there is anything else I can find out.

EDIT: Here is a little more info: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/features-windows-phone-portico-update-build-8010211204

Also from the Nokia side there are improvements to the camera, battery, brightness and bluetooth.

 

[Mr Jones]

I like how my wireless 'catches' quicker now. Use to take ages for it to connect back to my work's, today, it was unlock phone, and it's connected within a second.

 

[Cpfoxhunt]

I found the same thing with the wireless - it makes a serious difference!
