Can Nokia Pro Cam record stereo videos in the 620?

 

[IamAdiSri]

No it cant as it doesn't have the hardware for it. :/ But the pro app still is great!!

Hello
I Got the update yesterday for aLumia 620 variant: 000-FI country variant
that's a 620 carrier free sim unlocked 620 coming from Finland and purchased in Barcelona Spain, where I live
Software Release :Lumia Amber
carrier: Finland CV variant: 000-FI country variant
OS version 8.0.10328.78
Firmware 3046.0000.1329.2001

kind of weird because here Availability in Europe - Nokia
tNokia Says update is coming soon

* Glance screen is present -- I was used to previous Nokia N8 Glance, Lumia 620 glance set at peek mode ( displays time batt, ring status if you pass your hand next to the screen, Nokia N8 sported a OLED screen, i'm gonna see how this behaves on the battery life, with a power angry LCD screen likes the 620,
* Data Sense is included and is pretty awesome you got a per app data usage separated on wifi and cellular,
* Color Profile kind of useless, i just increased the saturation a little bit to enance screen readeability under barcelonian sun
* Other storage : nothing new here i still has like 700MB on "OTHER SOTRAGE" I use the app Storage Cleaner
* No double-tap to wake-up from sleep
* No radio
* New sounds for new email, new SMS
* Wifi (find nearby Wi-Fi) map with data sense : excellent stuff it shows you all the available repertoried wifi spots on the map, there are quitte a lot in Barcelona
* Internet Explore new option to reduce data use by sending URLs to Data Sense Service, <---- Does any one knows how this works ?
* Photos+camera - option to change default camera appyou have direct lenses and photo add redirection on the built in camera
* Call + SMS Filter includedi m not using it but nice to see it, this will prevent ex girls friends from boring me, *joke* no really this will be cool to prevent phone calls from my carrier to advertise some ****.
*The flip to silence ! great feature is there too, that was present on my 2010 Nokia N8 haha

I agree The glance feature on paper looks meh but its useful in real use.


Well if by luck i get back my 920 from nokia repair (battery issue) im gonna compare.
there is not too much new on this update concerning the 620, just some new fonctionality added

Lumia Amber for Lumia 620 is now available in Indonesia too!
Here's what I got from this update:

• Glance Screen feature, though no double tap to wake up the phone. But it's useful feature to me to see the clock without pressing the power button again. Will update about the battery usage.
• Data Sense! Now I can control my data usage when using the mobile network data.
• Super Sensitive Touch is now back! Though before firmware update in April [Indonesia] my phone can swipe through with my fingernails, it does not have the settings to turn off this, and after the firmware update in April, that feature is gone. And now it's back!
• Lumia Color Profile. Feel free to fine tune up the colors!
• Call+SMS Filter. I can block most unwanted calls and SMSes!
• Nokia Smart Cam and Video Trimmer, here I come!
• Addition: I hear that Nokia had updated its ringtone, too, since this update. Check yourself at Ringtones+Sounds settings to take the preview.
• Another Addition: the 'Lumia Amber' text is now present on Extras+Info page.

I'm curious about the other features like Flip to Silence (which I know it is available), but it seems to be hidden somewhere in the settings (tell me if you found it).

Other than that, folks from Indonesia can now update the firmware, starting today!

i previously has super sensitive touch before de amber update

Yes, it has. Actually, Lumia 620 has its feature built-in, but it has no settings and before the firmware update on April, it seems has the trouble on registering the touch input, so Nokia decided to fix that in April, and now the feature is back.

* Other storage : nothing new here i still has like 700MB on "OTHER SOTRAGE" I use the app Storage Cleaner

Mine has 1GB in the other storage when using the Storage Check, but it seems to be reasonable since I have so many accounts integrated in my phone. I rarely used SkyDrive in my phone (I usually use it on my PC though) so the trick about fast-forwarding the date probably won't work in my phone.

Hi, how much time it took to install and how much space do we need before updating.

 

[sejgiul]

Got it in the UK. CV version

How did you already get it? On Nokia's site it says "coming soon": Availability in Europe - Nokia

You can find the Flip-To-Silence setting in Settings -> Audio -> enhancements.

Waiting for update in India. MS handled updates better than Nokia. Two years back I updated my Samsung focus to Mango on first day itself here in India, though it was an unlocked AT&T phone imported in India. Planning to use a free USA vpn and change locale. Though changing the location only didn't work. I believe changing the location and using a WiFi connection that has been changed to USA vpn and enabling airplane mode might work.

Hi, how much time it took to install and how much space do we need before updating.

Depending on how many applications you've installed on your phone, but it usually takes up to 30 minutes. On my phone with >80 apps installed, it took for about 20-25 minutes (I didn't count the time with stopwatch, though. lol)

You can find the Flip-To-Silence setting in Settings -> Audio -> enhancements.

Thanks! And it's turned on by default by the update.
