Official 8.1/Denim for the Icon?

[GoJays]

This was worth the wait.

Whoa... Whoa.... Whoa.... Let's sleep on it for a couple of days. No need to make any quick judgments (but the WiFi is so much better).

I almost feel guilty. I only bought my Icon on Ebay a few weeks ago. My wait has been short.

Wait...
No...
The guilty feelings have passed. I'm better now.

Checking for the OTA, every 10-20 min....and my wife is texting me and I am thinking, WTF, I am going to miss it...

Ugh, It's almost over, this year (it seems) of waiting for this update, Now we need a new thread for Windows Phone 10 for the ICON, I am sure that one will last a year or so too :/

Come on, release the OTA now...(as I check one more time before I hit post...Nope)

Whoa... Whoa.... Whoa.... Let's sleep on it for a couple of days. No need to make any quick judgments (but the WiFi is so much better).

Yea, let's see what bugs Verizon missed, after making us wait so long, it better be freaking PERFECT.

If it goes 3-4 days with no issues (am sure someone will find something to complain about), then I would call it good.

I'm sure the price of the Icon (I saw one online for $169 yesterday) has been doubled now. Interesting to see if it will be re-released.

Oh, by the way, for the record, I stand corrected. I said we would get Windows 10 BEFORE we got denim, I guess I was wrong.

Well, the OTA is not out yet, so officially it has not been released, so if MS drops Win 10 in the next hour or so I might be right after all

currently downloading via lsrt. download size is 1.62 Gb and at the current speed is going to take me about an hour and a half to get it. Guessing that once the ota update is launched it will probably take a while to get.

My phone finally succumbed to the false denim bug. At least it won't matter for too long now

 

[MikeSo]

Anyone think it will be out OTA today? Some people claimed here earlier to have gotten it OTA already (not LSRT)?

 

[pbphotos]

Rumor is 1pm EST for OTA, if that is true T-51min and counting (Fingers Crossed)

One thing I don't understand is that the Denim update for the Icon via LSRT is 1.62 GB. When my 822 went to Denim (also via LSRT), the download was over 4 GB.

:shrug:

People on twitter and saying should be around 1pm EST today....We'll see., I am waiting for OTA too

 

[feeked]

I'm giving it till 1 eastern before I just manually flash it

I think it's still a staggered rollout, so just because it starts at 1pm EST doesn't mean everyone will see it right then.

Can someone verify?

That's pretty much standard practice. Once you see someone say that it's live OTA you should see it on your phone within the hour i would think.

\o/ Updated via Software Recovery Tool, Denim finally!

BTLE working ! Also micoach will use SensorCore as a stride sensor which is neat.

 

[David Feifer]

Only thing I can think of is that the icon denim update is in a compressed file format and the 822's update was not.

Yeah, I've used the LRST a couple of times and it's always been that big. Maybe it checks what you already have on your phone and if it sees PfD (which has the OS already) it might exclude some parts? Or maybe they just came up with a different way of doing it.

 

[David Feifer]

guess there is always that option as well since i DO have pfd on it.

After all this waiting, isn't it ironic - and pitiful - that neither Verizon nor Microsoft still sell the Lumia Icon - the best smartphone I have ever owned! A dozen friends have asked about it, and all of the colorful tiles, and out-of-stock. It will be interesting to see if the Microsoft store gets new stock soon?

Nice!
