Cyan but no Cyan features

[monzki]

So I finally decided to reset my 1020 coming from DP 8.1 GDR1 this Sunday. After resetting to official Lumia Black, I then proceed to upgrading to Cyan. The upgrade was successful. But I notice that I don't receive any of the features of Lumia Cyan. There's no new setting on Display. USB setting is missing as well. Basically all of the Cyan features are non-existent after the update:

Lumia Cyan Features

The extras+info stated that I have the Lumia Cyan. I also update all Nokia-specific apps and "setting apps". I also tried to check for update, maybe I didn't get all the update. But there's no more update.

Afterwards, I decided to install GDR1 dev preview (which is totally unrelated). And the Cyan features are still missing.

I search and I found this from Nokia lumia 925 cyan update problem - Nokia Support Discussions

Does anyone has this same problem after updating to Cyan?

Most of the 'cool' features of Cyan aren't available on 'older' devices. Not sure which ones exactly but there's been an article on this web page telling us why.

No Expectation :angel:

@Rick_Air yes most of the camera related and cool features are not supported in 1020. But every Cyan feature is missing.

I updated to cyan on my 620 but I am in the same boat.

• 
  I got no brightness slider
  Equalizer not working without headphones still
  USB settings is still missing

Equalizer never worked without headphones to begin with... it explicitly states you have to plug them in to use the function. Always has done.

Well guess what? With Lumia Cyan, some phones, apparently, can adjust the Equalizer without the need for headphones! The magic of updates, huh? Maybe it always was but now it doesn't matter (for some phones, at least)!!!

Exactly.

I'm in the same boat. Absolutely no new features on my Lumia 1020.... It's hard to believe that this phone is already on the missing features list

I think the only phones to get the full cyan jam is the 1520 and 930

): I really hope not.

 

[rikipy]

only the 930/1520 get all features

Tried to detail it here http://forums.windowscentral.com/wi...der-hardware-cyan-not-worth-downgrade-dp.html. Its a lot of hype for basically no gain for older devices.

Same here. 1020 with cyan but no USB Settings, additional display settings etc. I wonder why, definitely not because of hardware limitation

Hi all, been following the forum for awhile, 1st post.

Ok unless I'm loosing it I am positive that some of these features were available when I had installed DP 8.1 on my 1020. I am certain I tried the brightness slider and the eq with just the speaker, no headphones.

I had reverted back to WP 8.0 a few weeks ago while waiting for cyan, so have nor had the features since. Now that I have updated to official cyan they do not seem to be available.

However I did re- install DP to get update 1 before even trying out 8.1 again, any chance updated 1 is the problem or?

Makes you wonder why they bother with them really if there's little to no benefit.

Yeha. Same on my 720

No... Even in the "Pure" cyan, isn't working.

Yup, my equalizer can be adjusted without a headphone but it is useless if you are using the phone speakers alone. Not much improvement on sound enhancements. As long as it works with headphones and bluetooth speakers for you, it should be fine. Maybe it depends on the phone. Some phones have better sounding speakers where equalizer can help. Some phones may have a bad sounding speakers that an equalizer is useless. I have L1520.

Did you update all your apps in the Store? Many of the apps themselves need to be updated once you're on Cyan to actually take advantage of the features

But as said prior a good majority of the features aren't supported on older phones, mostly due to hardware constraints (gotta love tech that evolves fast)
