yes pro cam is working flawlessly on our 720. The photo quality of stock camera app is crap compared to pro cam. Its almost criminal from nokias part to deny procam to 720 users.



We should petition nokia to make procam natively work on 720 without the hack.

Hi Gaurav, thanks for posting step by step procedure. I have one doubt, if I proceed via Nokia Software Upadater, will I be able to restore my apps using backup option in WP8 which we have in settings ( Like we do when we hard reset our phone ) ?? Or all the backup data will also be erased ?? Pls reply
Only thing thats keeping me from following this path is app backup. Pls help me out

if you take back up than you not lose it.
But you have to download all app that you take back up.
App data is deleted.
So also take back up of app data if possible.

Its the same as a hard reset. Messages and contacts are backed up. But any app that you had will need to be re-downloaded. You'll also lose all the app data.

But the update is worth it.

Hey dudes, did you notice that Amber is draining more battery? Or this is an issue only from my mobile?
After i've updated, when i turn on 3g, get much much hot, and consequently, drains battery. What i have to do to change thiss?

ok, I updated to AMBER using NSU after trying NCS for long time. NCS wouldn't recognize my Lumia 720 (Check phone mode error).
I tried searching for FM Radio application in Nokia Music, but couldn't find. Can someone please help me? Lack of sleep is taking its toll on me

Im also facing heating issue while browsing on 3G. But im not updated my l720 to amber yet.
i went to nokia care , they told me to its normal on 3G. Lets see anyone also getting heating issue on 3G or not?

You should be able to see radio under music+videos. Its the last option.

Battery life is definitely improved in Amber.

Do this: Go to Settings-->applications-->background tasks. Here enable those apps only that you want to run in background.

And if you use email, I'd suggest you to change your sync settings from "as item arrive" to "every 15 or 30 mins". It'll do wonders to your battery life.

Guys! please tell us how the camera works after the amber update, I would not like my camera ruined because of an update.

Nokia has improved image processing algorithms in Amber to offer better noise reduction, color reproduction, exposure and autofocus. It's just a matter of taste. Opinions differ from person to person.

Though you'll find difference in image quality when taking pictures from Nokia Pro Cam app as compared to default one due to different algorithms. Many users have reported Yellow hue in pictures taken from Nokia Pro Cam but that's a universal issue, so don't worry about it. There are plenty of awesome camera apps out there for us Lumia users like Camera360, Oneshot and Proshot. Its just a matter of algorithms.

So don't stress it too much buddy. It's not like end of the world. You'll eventually have to update to Amber anyway.
