I hope you like crappy green tinted pictures lol

Typical. Got up late so didn't check for updates.

Now my phone has detected the update, but won't download it via mobile signal.

Of course it won't, it's like 1GB. Do yourself a favour though, take a picture before you update, and then another of the same when you update. I'm trying to figure out if this green/yellow image tinting and blurring affects everyone.

EE UK showing as available on the Nokia website. Downloading now. 94%

 

[MrWhiteman]

Hmmm.... I was one of the impatient ones that used the firmware available on Nokia's servers... Having just looked at the version of firmware EE have just released, seems my early firmware download is not up to date as it is only:

3047.0000.1326.2021

:-/

That is the latest

Funny you say that, as battery life is what I'm looking out for as well. I haven't had this phone long at all and my old Lumia 800 which supposed to have shorter battery life, easily gets more than my 920. So hopefully it improves for me with this update.

I'm noticing massive battery improvements, wasn't expecting that at all. Better than Glance, DoubleTap, DataSense, FM Radio, and the rest this is the best thing about GDR2 for me. I went to bed last night at 12, phone was at 99%. I put Glance & Double Tap on, and when I got up at 8am, it was still at 99%! I don't even know how that is possible. I'm currently keeping it off the charger just to see if I can actually get it to drain. If this lasts it'll make a massive difference to my phone usage. If only they could have had this when the phone came out almost a year ago... (couldn't be all positive!)

I too did the early server update, but my phone became fraught with problems, probably from the Nokia extras etc...
So I downgraded back to 1308 then let the phone do OTA to Amber and all is hunky dory even with Nokia extras.

I am not noticing any significant improvement in battery life... hope that changes with time.

Do you have the green-tint camera problem still? You can check by taking a pic with Pro Cam and immediately viewing it, you should see it change right before your eyes

How did you downgrade? If I try and put the 1308 fw into Products/rm-821 folder, in NCS it still shows as 2021 and tried to download more stuff

@MrWhiteman.

I don't get green, but a "warming" light glow, more pinkish than yellow.
I've been messing with the FW before and oddly, I found the first time I went from 1308 > 2021, I had no camera tint. I then reflashed again from another PC with 2021 and voila!, yellow tint.
Now it won't go, but since it's a know about and easily corrected issue, I'll just wait for the bug fix.
As to getting back to 1308, I previously flashed via NSU for Retail when 1308 was out and it stores the package on your PC. I knew once the next update was out, I wouldn't be able to download it anymore.
I then deleted the 2021 FW from it, leaving only 1308.
Loaded up Nokia Care Suite and installed 1308 via the recovery option. You have to flash as a dead phone though by holding Vol. down & Power til it starts the process. Went in no problem.
Hope that helps.

 

[MrWhiteman]

It's ok I managed to flash to 1308... just before reading your post about the yellow tint still bloody there lol

 

[Blocks9]

I have no yellow/green tint in the image processing stage... Pro cam works a charm for me!

 

[Alex Dean]

I have no problem either, and as has been said Pro Cam is fantastic. It seems to me the only people who are having camera issues are those who flashed the ROM...

I flashed back to 1308 and installed Amber the official way so we'll have to see! Can you take a screenshot immediately after taking the picture and then another screenshot of the picture viewed in camera roll?

 

[Angry Pixel]

Please someone confirm if the green tint problem is there or not? If they manage to fix it then its time to flash again for me

 

[Nickkk101]

No cam problems here via last night's OTA. 920, EE.

 

[Angry Pixel]

So you dont see any change in tint of the pics seconds after taking the pic? If that so then its awesome. Now only if someone who has flashed the ROM can confirm this too. Then I'll flash it happily
