Go to the Windows Phone 8 page, How-To, Basics, Windows Phone 8 update history or click Windows Phone 8 update history | Windows Phone How-to (Canada)

Got the GDR3 too (Rogers). Data Sens is now available and 3 GB have been recovered from "Other Storage". Well done MS.

I think that isn't not possible on any Windows Phone :S

I don't know how many of you had the boot crash problem since GDR2. But I've now rebooted my phone enough times since GDR3 to safely say that this update has fixed the boot crashing loop problem.

How many times did you try? I haven't tried booting it since getting Update 3.

How many times did you try? I haven't tried booting it since getting Update 3.

About 5 times now (it's been at least 4). All problem free and quick. Considering that I only had 1 clean boot since GDR 2 prior to GDR3, I'd say problem solved. The boot crashing issue would always be a minimum of 3 boot crashes before successfully reaching the start screen. Lately, prior to GDR3, I was probably averaging 5-7 crash loops. On a few occasions, it went on for so long that I was worried my phone would fail to boot up.

I noticed the phone booting a touch faster, too. Also realized a difference in loading screens. It used to be Windows Phone, Samsung Mobile, Samsung, then start screen. Now it's Windows Phone, Samsung, Samsung again, then start screen. Crossing my fingers that this fixed the booting issue for good.
