GDR3 Preview is LIVE!

[pankaj981]

Does incoming toasts from apps like Whatsapp/LinkedIn count as IMs? If yes my notification tones aren't working. Can someone confirm this?

I hope this means that snapchat might be coming soon!

Snapchat was 'apparently' waiting for GDR3 for a new API it needed but look what Microsoft said... "There are no new APIs in the update, and so there won’t be a corresponding Windows Phone SDK for this update."

Yes but I anticipated that also back in 2010.

GDR3 Preview update installed flawlessly ! Anticipating this OS being on par with IOS & Android in a reasonable time frame.

So they'll probably give up waiting and either make it now or just not make it.

So, does anyone else have issues with trying to open apps? While I watched the update install, I didn't see the normal "Please wait while we migrate your data" message after the updates installed. I can't launch any app that's installed, except for core OS apps. I removed Adobe Reader, installed it again, and now it launches. I'd rather not have to hard reset my device, but it seems as if that might be necessary at this point.

What phone do you have?

Installed it here as well and am very pleased! The only problem I found is that I was really looking forward to muting specific contacts (eg. groupme numbers for sms delivery), and was frustrated that there is no way to set it to "no ringtone" for a specific contact.

Fortunately, the old workaround of a silent MP3 works perfectly. For convenience of anyone else, unzip the attached MP3 and you will have a "silent" ringtone option. (the zip file is a silent MP3 file)

Why not just install the groupme app and set it on mute when you don't want to hear groupme notifications? It doesn't come in via messaging anymore then, it all goes through the app which can be muted at night, etc.

Whoa nice this might be what I've been missing on my FR-S. Bluetooth works great for music but other than phone calls I can't do anything with the mic while it's connected. Search, dictate, etc. Gonna go test this.

Trip report, I can now do voice commands from my GDR3 phone whereas before my mic was disabled for speech type things through the car's mic. It didn't work at first and after a bunch of manual disconnecting/reconnecting and checkbox toggling I realized that the only problem is that it was taking longer to connect than it did before, and I wasn't being patient enough. So yay GDR3 and stuff. For reference, Scion FR-S 2014/10 Series head unit.

No. Apps are opening just fine. (928).

i have the same prob, will have to hard reset i think, unless i can update again somehow ??

 

[philharmonik]

oh, I'm sorry then. But you mean... you didn't know you can make small tiles? Or you didn't know you can have live tiles, just kinda confused here.

I guess I forgot I could make them that small and just never used them at that size. When I updated, I must have just brain dumped and thought it was something new. :unhappy:

had to hard reset, now its fine everythings working

 

[joeonsunset]

Nope, it doesn't seem to support it...yet. I think it's called "GDR3 Preview" for reason. Maybe this implies we'll get more features a little later.

Thanks for the twinkle of hope

I wanna update to GDR3 but I wanna know if there are any serious bugs with the update on a AT&T Lumia 920?

 

[elyod]

I have an ATT 920 and I updated this morning. The phone has been great so far. I haven't experienced anything that would prevent me from recommending the update.

 

[vimal25]

Does GDR3 available for L620..????

Me too. No problems at all.

 

[PB_H]

Is this not something new? I never noticed being able to have all these tiles until I updated to GDR3. If this is not what everyone is referring to, my bad.

Not NEW.

but still....there are few major options missing...how long has windows phone been out. 3 years? after almost 2 and half years of android,I am thrilled with WP but some major functionalities are missing. Fixed IP, separate volume for media and rings, music playback by folder, and possibly button lights as notifications would be amazing. But still, awesome phone, awesome OS, my Lumia 920 is even a bit more amazing after update to GDR3
