Hi, when did you get the upgrade?

 

[superchargedV12]

Yeah, i got it today... but it doesnt have anything new... no new features available on this phone which kinda sucks :/

 

[Ganatha]

Say, is it the official or "leaked" firmware?
And you saying its lacking on the cool features that come with GDR2, available on Lumias?

 

[superchargedV12]

It is missing everything, there is literally nothing new... I am talking about the official GDR2

 

[Thanasis1968]

what about the "other" folder size? still the same after GDR2?

 

[Ganatha]

What a waste!

Which region are you in?

 

[Thanasis1968]

Greece / Vodafone

Yes, I received the GDR2 update last night (or at least I think I did). It's identical. No new features. There are CalDAV & CardDAV mentions in the GMail settings, but I can't remember if they were there before.

As a recent convert to Windows Phone, I'm beginning to feel that Microsoft has a deathwish with regards to this platform...

The "other" section is still the same-ish. I had to reboot the phone and restore all my settings to download the update. I am from London, England.

I got the official update and by the way guys i heard that when a company makes a deal with microsoft to use the windows phone 8 platform they have to update the phone software to the latest so when ever there is a update we would get the update as well so when gdr3 is out we would get it as well and because huawei isnt adding anything and o2 doesnt as well we would get it relatively fast and for the other folder there is a bit of a fix which doesnt really help too much but basically what it does is it doesnt save the .xap files in the other folder any more so you can download as much as you want from the store and not do the " SD CARD" process

Huawei Ascend W1 will all ways be updated to latest software because in microsofts terms and conditions for wp8 all devices will be updated to latest software even if huawei isnt contributing to anything.

 

[Berkay Kaya]

This is the statement "all Windows Phone 8 devices will receive software support for at least 36 months after their release."

Thanx Berkay for the info..the "long" await for GDR2 update begins...:eck:

 

[Berkay Kaya]

I think it depends more on your carrier than huawei because i all ready received GDR2 therefore its not huawei thats the problem its either the country your in or the carrier ;/

 

[Ganatha]

Am in Kenya and not sure how fast my carrier, Safaricom will roll it out....

 

[Ganatha]

If Huawei have released the update, how come its not showing in their official website?
