Has Microsoft forgotten about resuming Cyan update for those on Developer Preview?

[Chicopower]

I'm personally a software developer for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.
I decided to go for Developer Preview to test the newest updates As Soon As Possible to be sure that my application will be 100% OK with the new updates.

The fact that I cant receive the last "Cyan" update at this moment AND that public customer already received it is NOT what I expect about this program..
Men.. YES it's a big problem and NO I will not say "oh yeah Microsoft, continue.. its a good move!"

Wake up Microsoft please. :eck:

If I were a dev, I honestly wouldn't touch Windows Phone. Microsoft isn't showing enough interest for me to invest my time and money.

My gf has the Dev Preview and she got the Cyan update about a week ago. L920, UK.

Can you post a screen shot of her 920's extras+ info screen?

What "right" are you talking about? Who decides that, you? The Preview for Developers is commercial software. You can ***** about a regular release as much as you like you still have no special privilege to demand a fix compared to the DP.

It's not an alpha/beta or anything, but I would disagree with your statement on it being commercial software. Yes, between the official WP8.1 that ships on the 635 and the Developer Preview version, there may not be much of a difference, but the DP IS NOT commercial software. The difference between it and the stuff MS ship on new phones is that some major bugs/issues are resolved in the commercial version (not all, but important bugs, say maybe that issue where computers won't pick up a plugged in phone on the DP).

In reply to the thread, although I am a little bummed that they haven't given us any indication of a release window for the fix/any indication of progress I guess we all signed up to the DP and like some other people have said, we all agreed to accept any bugs/issues with the software.

After carefully decoding Joe Belfiore's tweets answering questions about this, I have come to a firm conclusion that he doesn't have a slightest clue that this hold on Cyan update for DP builds even exists.

How about Lumia 620

I would like to know your point of view and analysis of them.

Bro, I too received the mail. I think it is for the non dp users.

But cyan update for 1320 released nearly a week ago in India and they won't send mail a week later

 

[Neelim Shyam]

That is also right!!

MS should think something for those on pfd...no info from any source also..

She is asking about this problem - his answer is a statement of principle, the same he gave when the DP program was first introduced - yes, you will get the firmware separately. He simply doesn't know there's a hold.

Same thing.

Again the same answer, before this issue was discovered and the hold was ordered.

He is simply unaware. The 'device people' (in the same company, now) simply haven't informed him.

 

[krox1105]

I do see your point. But this doesn't mean that he doesn't know about this.
Of course he is being obscure regarding this issue, but i guess this is so because any statement by him quickly turns into news for every Windows Phone website.

Something is happening!!! There is an update available for my non- bitlocker 8.1 update 1 developer preview Lumia 920. I do hope it's Cyan... Will update my post asap...
Edit: Still black, not cyan... Forget it...

Just a link to some light reading for those who say the DP is beta/non-commercial software. Puts things into perspective when thinking about the bitlocker fix.

Can you post a screen shot of her 920's extras+ info screen?

On it's way.

Here's my screenie for my 930 to get things started. I'm expecting the GF to Viber my her screenshot momentarily.

i've participated in a fair share of betas/previews including xbox nxe and the kinect hardware beta, so i knew exactly what to expect when i joined the DP.

I agree with the OP. The lack of communication is what i don't understand. Being kept in the dark just doesn't make for a good impression.

I've tweeted joe belfiore as well, this time specifying the block on getting cyan due to the bitlocker issue. Waiting to see how he responds...
