Amber Update UK Thread

Im using the euro rom. Ill reflash with the ee when it comes out

It looks unlikely that EE will update the 920 over the weekend, so their mid month timeframe seems to be slipping, given that its still stuck on "awaiting approval" on the Nokia update page! I don't expect this update for another week or so! So much for the "imminent" release.

I think there is a problem with the GDR2 920 like a camera issue that is making it VERY late.

I think there may be a problem too. I have the euro dev fw and notice problems with the browser and now the yellow Procam tint too.

I saw on Twitter that GDR2+Amber for 920 will be released next week hopefully.

Believe it when I see it!

Hi all

The fact that the firmware is available on the Nokia Retail Updater suggests to me that it is good to go for a clean install but that there may be some problems with the update process. I bit the bullet last night and updated it via a clean flash and so far no problems at all.

God bless

Andrew

Once the EE fw comes out i will reflash. The camera prob might be fixed

I was hoping that NFC support would be improved with the updates but it's still the same. It's impossible to share files to and from my 920 using NFC. My 808 and Nexus 7 have no problems in this area.

Talked to a customer rep this morning, who says the update for the 920 is not expected until the end of Sept. If they had said on twitter last week "end of Sept", then okay, but these lies just antagonise their wp consumers, and drive people away. Hardly a good business model! I suppose we don't matter in the grand scheme.

Tbh, i wish they'd just skip this update, as we are so far along the line now anyways. They should focus on GDR3 in Nov, and ensure we get it early. (but i wont hold my breath)

Sure is disappointing. However, I would doubt very much that any plan skip to GDR3 would be delivered to handsets this year. HTC confirmed in some territories that this is happening but its not expected on devices until 'early 2014' so lets hope that doesn't happen given the length of time GDR2 has/is taking via EE.

If EE missed any updates for a phone I'd got through them during the length of my contract I'd be mighty pissed. I expect them to fully support any phone they have sold.

I don't disagree, and still expect the gdr2 update to rollout... But with each day that passes, its significance to us reduces. This should have been sent to us at least 3 weeks ago, but here we are with no sign of a rollout.

 

[Yakkob]

Well at the moment its saying can't check for updates.. Maybe its being rolled out ready???

Nope, that error has been happening for the best part of a week now. It seems to be sporadic. In no way does it imply an imminent roll out! Sorry.

dang, I was looking for an EE GDR2 thread as I thought that error code may be significant.

 

[archersvalley]

To hell with EE! Simply useless people!

 

[Nick_1020]

Are Kevin Bacon and chums still blaming Nokia??

 

[Great deal]

well im 100% leaving EE when contract up next year, they are greedy and slow. ive also got a phone with o2 and they too have just lost me, im hoping the 1020 with vodafone will be a better experience, time will tell.

I agree, EE are ****. If Voda have 4G in my town by the time by contract runs out come November '14 then I'm going to them.
