Riding on Amber now. I don't have much use for data-sense. But I surely am glad about glance, radio and other features. The best to me is that I got Nokia Pro Cam working on my 820! The front cam isn't working with that app but hey! that is a negligible tradeof against benefits. I can now change shutter speed and my favorite - manual focus. It really makes your photos look like pro. Moreover if you keep your phone absolutely still (tripod maybe), you can take low light pictures without flash which no one will believe was low-light. Will post a couple soon.

I've not noticed any improvements on low lights. Not on 820. At really, i've noticed more noise because automatic shutter speed is always too high.
So after Amber I have to use manual settings on low lights. I don't like that. Manual Settings are awesome for professional photos. The results are amazing! But for casual photos? Take too much time to find a good setting, even when you're used to.

How is the battery life? Also would like to know whether the update solve my duplicate photos problem and the other storage problem. As for camera sometimes I have a white balance problem. Hope all of these are fixed.

Any improvements on this bug at all. And I think its a Nokia Music bug.
Maybe some improvements on Xbox Music online service, I don't know. Nokia Music continues to make wrong entries on system.

Battery life so far seems same while using usual apps but standby time has increased by 70-80% atleast, instead of 1 day now i see 1 day 18 hours on similar charge levels.
As far as Im concerned the default camera app has improved a lot.. The auto settings are giving images with much lesser noise. I compared the same scenes before n after amber updat.. Very much satisfied...
Only thing im missing is the field test using. ##3282.
I used it quite often to get a stable 3G signal. Otherwise my data automatically switches to Edge..
Any help in that anyone?

Hi Guys,
Is anyone having issues with WhatsApp after Amber update??!
For me, messages are not getting updated unless i open the App.
I checked the background tasks, WhatsApp is in there, but the messages wont update if am outside the app.
Any help would be appreciated.

No such issues for me in watsapp..
But sometimes the notifications are delayed like the previous versions.
Wait till Friday..watsapp will launch another update with better compatibility with amber..

Camera Fixes: Amber updates fixed Low Light Photography woes to some extend in my Lumia 820 at least. I used to get dull photos in dim lit indoor. Shutter speed increased (when taken from button press)

Hey!! How did you manage to install the Pro Cam app to work on your 820. Its only available to 92x series & 1020.
Anyways, after reading your post I did try to install it through the marketplace. But it came up as an error, stating not available for your device/region.
I have updated my phone with Amber. Even I am a lot into photography thing and was expecting the Pro Cam app to be available on the 820.
