GDR2 is now on the way!

[slipknot28]

I also just get an update for my non branded HTC 8X.

 

[paddylaz]

probably a stupid question but my lumia 925 already has the gdr2 right? So nothing for me to get excited about?

I'm from Croatia and I have branded HTC 8X. Recieved update. I don't have Data Sense, but I do have FM radio.

Some screens:

I don't know why I don't have Data Sense. Couldn't try Xbox Music because it's not available in Croatia at all.
I had 2.6 GB free before installation and after I had 2.95 GB.

Hope you'll get yours too pretty soon.

yup, you've got GDR2(Microsoft's General Distribution Release 2)+Lumia Amber (Nokia's Firmware update, also known as PR 2.0) already

Just updated my 8X. Nothing interesting. Only option to change app for camera button and FM radio. I just cannot image how hard it was for developers of Windows Phone! Gigantic job they made with GDR2! Excellent!
And my Lumia 920 should wait a month or two to be updated because Nokia wants to sell new phones. I am going tired of all this shEat
Sorry if it was offensive a little.

Q: does the radio need the headphones plugged in to work?

 

[Ray Adams]

Ys it does

 

[kendo_88]

disappointing that Microsoft only implement carddav for Gmail only. Want to be able to sync my icloud contacts. why only half implement it!....to be honest, notice no difference with this update so far on my 8S

 

[KrightonX]

iCloud and Apple are a virus. Microsoft is in no hurry to support mediocre software or systems from an inferior entity.

 

[greedypnguin]

A whole company is a virus? Sounds legit....

ou come oooooon amber come to me i need u soo much, im stond up, been like that 1+ month, how much more i need to take that pain dear amber i wanna smash u so much

People need to understand that most updates, big or small make 99% of their changes under the hood. Think of GDR2 as SP2. It is a service pack, which is simply a large rollup update with all the previous patches rolled into one single DL and install. Since Nokia is working so closely with MS, expect more noticeable updates in Amber.

 

[greedypnguin]

Also the UTH Improvements are hardly noticeable. Although there are some handy new features coming in also, like Lumia Colour Profiling and data sense

They are like the Umbrella Corporation :evil:

Hello everyone, can i ask something? My FW Version is still 8.0.10211.** something. I am from Philippines, And I have checked Updates everytime I get back home, but it tells me that my Phone is up to date,

By the way, the carrier is telling me that this is CV.Malaysia, well I get updates? Or What's the best way to received updates other than OTA?

 

[DenniSundaY]

You can only update trough OTA and you have to wait until the carrier pushes the update out. Best is to contact your carrier to verify when you cam expect the update.

 

[Suedezu]

If anyone, no matter what country, device or operator,starts getting GDR2 and Amber please let us know through a comment as it may indicate the beginning of the global roll-out.

 

[KrightonX]

August 31st @ 11:59pm is the soonest the 920 and 928 will get GDR2. This will be my LAST Nokia and my LAST Windows Phone. **** both companies in the ******. Samsung and Android .. I should have never left.
