ehmmm I deff got an update today for my 810 reminded me of when I updated my phone to Amber...at first I thought it was Black, but when after it restarted and I checked under extra+info it still comes out as Lumia Amber :/

has anyone else received this?

the HTC 8X people on T-Mobile are saying they got a similar update as well.

I know what the update contains I just want to know why I got it a second time.

If you got an earlier version of Update 2 it might not have what the later version had -"fixes".
Those who go the later version didn't need tweeking otherwise everyone who got Amber/GDR2 would have got this update and clearly they didn't.
If you remember T Mobile/MS suspended Amber/GRD2 then released it then suspended it. It depends on which version you had. It doesn't "contain" anything new it's just an update like what happened to those of us who have GDR3 -about 3 months later there was a minor OS update like this, a quick 15 min and you're done. Like Nokia Camera or MS Facebook updates nothing changes that can be seen, they're just general "fixes" so it runs smoother.

based on what the dev leaks about 8.1.. it has been confirmed...

"NEW Documentation confirms ALL current Windows Phone 8 hardware to get 8.1"

 

[docfreed]

The 801 is probably NOT current as TMO made it EOL and no one else ever carried it.

Nokia Lumia 810 and 822 to miss on the Lumia Black update - GSMArena.com news

still hopeful that this is just a skip as 8.1 is right around the corner :amaze:

The user also points out Nokia is throwing a free Purity Pro headset for those having Bluetooth issues with the Lumia 810 or 822
is a BOLD FACE LIE BY THE provider of that so called information. That makes the whole thing suspect.

 

[ablahblah]

Hey everyone, don't know if these have been posted yet, but after being bummed out about the 810 not getting the Black update, I found some cool things that are still available for our device.

NOKIA CAMERA only requires Amber.
Nokia Camera | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

Glance Background (Beta) is available and works on my 810 despite people reporting issues, specifically people with Black oddly enough.
Glance Background | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

Lockie is a nice way to add functionality to the lock screen.

And 8.1 is apparently going to be pushed via the WP8 Developer preview, so we should still be in on 8.1 even though T-Mobile went and kicked us to the curb.

Can someone with the Lumia 810 + GDR3 preview check whether the latest Glance and Extras+Info update enables lock screen notifications? There have been some reports from 620 users that they can currently see notifications after enabling text and notifications.

NO. Glance notifications are exclusively a result of Lumia Black, the only place to see notifications on an 810 is lock screen.

Have you verified this on an 810 with the GDR3 Preview?

 

[Mr Lebowski]

Have you verified this on an 810 with the GDR3 Preview?

Yes, mine. If you look up Lumia Black and the added features. it's notifications with Glance, that didn't happen with Update 3 because Update 3 (GDR3)
is Microsoft OS and Glance is part of Nokia's firmware.

Well I am aware of the firmware needs, some 620 users have confirmed on today's article and froi francisco for his/her 810 that notifications are working on their 620/810. I guess I will verify it one last time in the evening, thanks!

Omg! It works! You need to update both extras + info and glance. It did not show up after I opened both. But when I restarted my phone, the option was there on glance! Yahoo! This is the main reason why I wanted Lumia black!
UPDATE: I just tested it, it does show the notifications on glance screen! Sweet! And there's also the choice of night mode color!

Weird, just tested on mine, it doesn't seem to show anything but the clock. Out of curiosity, are you on the GDR3 Preview?
