GDR3 Preview is LIVE!

[sinime]

Oh, progress bar under the spinning gears... is that new?

And it was only a 31MB file, I did it over my data connection.

One thing that has bugged me for a while now, I guess since wp7. If you have a long start screen, start from the top and scroll. While it's scrolling, hit the windows key. The momentum that you started doesn't get cancelled by the home key and will continue to scroll down.

True, and also sometimes scrolling becomes glitchy, if you know what I mean it stops very briefly before scrolling again when your finger swipes

all updates from gdr2 are still available such as glance etc. I also just setup driving mode and custom tones are an option for all notifications, emails, texts, voicemail etc.

Eh not much happened. A little buggy feeling.

what does this mean
"you can't revert back to prior OS version"?

 

[diplomat696]

theres a hyper link in the email, just tap the link then tap the screen to open it once it comes up that's it, once done go to the link in the app store and download the preview app, close out then check for updates on your phone.

Updating my HTC 8X, looking forward to testing this, looks like a solid list of features that'll help out WP8 users. Also I can play around with the dev stuff on my home pc to make some sample apps, which should be fun.

 

[diplomat696]

i.e. you cannot downgrade back to gdr2 once you install it.

Update OS-Version for me is 8.0.10512.142
(firmware didnt change ... as expected)
So what did change?
- task manager gets the X button
- car mode is added to settings (needs bluetooth device to set it up, which I dont have)
- the orientation lock or auto rotation setting is added to the settings
- dont actually know if something changed or I didnt see it before but the storage settings have colors in the details list on phone storage or sd-card storage
- personal ringtones for everything .... sorry forgot to mention ^^

that's what I saw on the first look through settings ... anything else?

Edit: anyways - It runs pretty smooth on my ativ s ...

any idea about the size of the update??

 

[melvintwj]

Really hope to get the new tile sizes on the 920. I have a lot of apps pinned to the start and I feel that the new tile size can help organizing the apps better.

On the spinning gears now, gonna take a little nap and play with GDR3 later

 

[david90531]

So far so good! Like most ppl I tried out the multitasking first. Would prefer gesture too but I guess the X is doable. Scrolling seems to be smoother

I've had spinning gears for about 20 minutes with the progress bar at about 5%... should I be worried?

Not very big..downloaded in few minutes..

any idea about the size of the update??

Does GDR3 allow customization of vibrate patterns for individual contacts, like it does ring tones?

 

[cckgz4]

Done

 

[John Balacano]

hope you can post some pics !!

 

[Magedo]

No, it seems like it's still just ringtones for calls and texts. No vibrate patterns to be seen.

Not really..Mine was also stuck at 5% for about 20 minutes..everthing went on fine later

only available for 1080p screes from what I understand, so 1520, 920 will not support that feature. unless somebody heard otherwise.
