WP8.1

I've tried 3 different ports, all worked until the last update a few days ago. I think it's a bug in WP8.1, could be EE but I don't see a reason why they'd do it.

That why I was wondering if anyone else on here uses SSH or anything using ports.

On my laptop, tethered it to the phone, used the usual SSH internet settings, also times out. But web pages load fine, it's just not happy if I use anything with a port, phone reset 3 times, still nothing.
 
Yeah, that works.

I can ping my router, but can't connect to a port ..... I try changing the port number to 1122.

Thanks for your help. Back in a bit!
 
I want Denim update. Apparently should start rolling out now.
New SMS features will be welcome as will Cortana.

Cortana – The most personal digital assistant on the market will now be available in the UK and China as a Beta. India, Canada and Australia will have access to Cortana as a public Alpha. For US residents, Cortana now includes an improved natural language, car kit integration via Bluetooth for contacts, snooze reminders and calendar improvements.
•Live folders – If you prefer to keep your apps or games organised, you can now put them into folders. Simply press, hold and drag an app over another to create a new folder on the Start screen. Each folder can be renamed by tapping on the text field above the open folder.
•Apps Corner – Create a customised Start screen, where only specific apps or games are accessible. This could be particularly useful in the workplace if you’re issuing Windows Phones to employees.
•SMS merge and forwarding – Select individual text messages to either delete them out of a messaging thread, or to copy and past them into a new message in order to forward them.
•Snooze Times – It’s now possible to customise the snooze time within the Alarm app.
•Consumer VPN – Maintain privacy and security when using data while connected to public Wi-Fi hotspots or even with your home Wi-Fi.
•Mobile Web Site improvements in IE – Connect and browse even faster with improved downloading speeds on mobile websites.
•Store Live Tile (US only) – The Store Live Tile displays featured apps and games that are the most popular in the Store, or most relevant for you

Port changed, I can get in via Virgin Media on my laptop with the new port over the interrnet, I could with the old one, I can ping my router from my phone via EE .... just cant connect to my router using a post through EE, even though the port forwarding is set up correctly. :(

I luckily remembered around the same time as the update I'd upped the router firewall from low to medium ..... changed it back to low, everything works again. Had me stumped for the WHOLE afternoon! :mad:

Just the standard pre 8.1 update and then 8.1. I don't even have Cortana?

Denim update for uk.
You can switch to us region and language to get Cortana, but Denim should be rolling out this month(well when I say this month depends on device and carrier), which enables it for uk.
 
It's only a Lumia 620, I can't imagine it is high up the list to get the latest updates. I'm surprised it's even got 8.1.
 
Depends what you want, bust bang for buck, are the 735 £159.95 (carphonewarehouse) and 830 £319.99(Microsoft store, once mainstream shops get their hands on it I would expect it to fall pretty quickly)

I was going for the 830 but after seeing the size of the damn thing, I'll probably go for the 1020.

Why can't they make small high end phones .... why do they ALL need to be the size of a paving slab! :(
