New Updates from Microsoft and Nokia GDR2

[WanderingTraveler]

Wow. Only now have they thought of bringing double-tap to open to WP8.

I'm curious, though. Is that possible in WP7?

Double tap to wake up the phone is a brilliant idea, never knew the N9 had this feature. Really looking forward to it.

Just double tap the same place on the screen and it will unlock (same as pressing the button once).. Really loved that feature on my Nokia N9

As this is the 21st Century I much prefer internet radio!

In my country, there aren't any unlimited 3G plans available even if you're ready to pay $100 per month, you cant have it.

I was waiting for someone to reply with that old chestnut! Thanks.

Double-Tap would be an amzing new feature. I loved it on the N9!!!

Hope it will be out before my trip to the US in mid may with my 920 as my main device (including camera)!

YES. i heard that Lumia 920 even has BT 4.0 but it doesn't say in the specs because it is not supported by MS YET.

 

[Raghu Gundlapalli]

so i guess Lumia 820 and Lumia 920 Has radio hardware but the OS is not running them?

YES.

This is happening just with Nokia, i had Focus S, we never got any updated on AT&T.

Hopefully this also comes to the Lumia 822... Double tap sounds awesome and there better be an FM chip on my phone, Nokia!!

The 822 has the same chipset as the 920 so yes, it should have an FM receiver. I'm fairly sure that the Qualcomm site mentioned that the chipset has an FM TRANSCEIVER so it should be capable of transmitting as well as receiving. I wonder if MS will enable that feature at some point?

YES.

That may very well explain some of the odd issues I see with BT. Hopefully it will be fully supported in one of the updates. I couldn't possibly care less about FM. The quality of FM is just terrible.

So how does the double tap to wake up feature work? I do it with the new update and get no response.
