A new firmware for lumia 920 in navifirm?

[Shenglong Lin]

Can I flash my 920 from ATT?

Yes, that is not the GDR2 firmware. It's just a general firmware update.

GDR2 files have been removed from Navifirm and nobody seems to have the files anymore.

That's Really Sad! :-( Cause i really had loved to test around a bit with GDR2 Beta...

If someone can find the GDR2 Beta Please send me a Message or Reply i would really Appreciate it!

I actually was able to download the RED version. I haven't flashed it to my L920 yet though but the Denmark version has the latest radio version as that of GDR2 which is what I am running on my L920

Im not sure if this is fixable in firmware, OS, or on the hardware level, but my phone has the stupid proximity sensor problem where being in a call, even if the phone is not near my face, will turn the screen off and it's hard to get it to come back. I know to temporarily fix it with blowing on it and such but any word on if this is / can be fixed with the FW update?

No because the problem is that there is a gap and dust can get inside the phone

I think its a bug problem..

on settings under brightness
automatic adjust set it to > off

test it.. make a few calls

then send it back to > on
and test again ..

People should stop posting and writing articles about these updates on navifirm so Microsoft don't get upset and force Nokia to shut down Navifirm like it was supposed to (what happened to that?). I want to be able to access navifirm files when the major updates come around!

Looks like it could be a decent update in any case.

Some Photos. In first place before update, second place after update to GDR2 Beta2 Sweden.
All shots in automatic.

And some shots in low ligth without flash and in auto mode, auto mode works better now than before.

One million bugs, one million basic features missing and what does GDRx do? Camera improvements and custom colors.

M$ had really stolen my money.

That's all - I do not think so ...

Microsoft and Nokia can take my money ... but well, hope to have an OS update too, WP 8.1

Welcome!
Flashing can be somehow understand as "format-reinstall". Although you can skip the format part and do an upgrade flash but is not recommended. It is not as easy as jailbreaking an iphone but is not that complicated either.

Yes, if you choose the "factory reset" aka the "format-reinstall" all apps and setting are gone. Although WP8 comes with a cloud backup option but I do not recommend it as it is buggy. However if you have apps that were free but now no longer available you might want to take your chance with that.

Everything is as describe in the sticky thread in this 920 board. However...
You need to have a battery 70% phone, a stable USB port and a stable power source. Making sure the process is NOT INTERRUPTED is very important!
Good luck!

That's a hoooooge help, thank you very much.

It sounds like you are implying that this is the final version of the software and this is not the case. Do you think Microsoft and Nokia come together and bundle the beta software each time one of them releases something? Before you make conclusions, please wait until the final build and then have a field day. I'm just as sick of Microsoft sitting on their hands as you but wait until the final software.

I'm pretty sure you gave them your money. Next time do your homework before buying something less than a year old.

24 Hours gone still no sight of new Features...

Does Really no one have GDR2 Beta Files? :-(

I am a MS user since WM6 and i have just no faith in MS upgrades. Very glad if i'll go wrong, in this case.

A lot of so called "missing features" are just a design choice. I can wait 100 years and nothing will change.
It's hard getting a complete documentation through the web befor buying a phone, since every review just speaks about camera, mail client, browser and stuff like these.

I hoped WP8 would been a change in MS mobile OS strategy, but i was wrong. It is just what WM6 was, with some new tech, of course. But its philosophy and its design are still the same.
