GDR2 and Amber update August 14th?

[fwaits]

Not to mention the camera improvements AMBER brings...

Will installing the GDR2 / Amber update have any negative implications? Specifically, I'm worried about my Xbox game save progress getting deleted.

I never released I had fm radio prior to gdr2, how stupid am I ! Oh no wait that's you

Thats almost as funny as WP7.8 having fm radio but WP8 not.....

I've never installed a update that has made me wipe out my phone losing my important xbox game saves.... You should be safe with that and all app settings (including all game saves)

Only time was doing custom roms on WP7 but, there was a app for that....(save all game/app settings)

It depends on the game, if it saves progress to the cloud (like Halo Spartan Assault), you will be fine, if it does not you will lose your progress.

No, you won't. The upgrade process does not wipe anything from the phone. If you flash the phone with a ROM, however, that will.

Should have clarified I meant flashing GDR2/Amber update before it comes OTA

For me I'm waiting for FM Radio and the camera corrections!
My Pictures some times is very poor in focus...Amber it will correct this... finally!!

Let's see... 14th Aug.

I know they were saying the 14th for Australia, so I'm thinking worst case scenario, we'll have some more official roms out in the wild to utilize

[Nikhilarthan]

Nokia Has not announced the date yet...how do you know that it is on 14 or 15...i have jus checked my lumia 720,....no update...

 

[Epic Pie]

What's going to happen to people who flashed their phone manually with other rom? Is there going to be list of roms modified for certain region? For example, I flashed with Polish rom, and I want a specific country's rom.

 

[Nikhilarthan]
