I read that it keeps on changing the position of the clock to save the screen. But in my case the clock remains at one position

 

[anon(7900571)]

sir it moves up and down might take 5-10 mins to move.just notice where the clock is currently.check back after having a great cup of coffee.mine was in middle but now it reached top (I noticed after 30 mins )

It will definitely move. This is to avoid any screen burn in issues

Is this a long wait update?
Last time that I've install an update, I have to wait more than 8 hours to have the phone back from the rotating gears.

Such BS, in Holland it's only available for two providers still.. That's fine, but I've got an unbranded phone and I get the COMING SOON status? Wth, shouldn't unbranded be getting it first?

that's what I thought too but just flashed back to my Vodafone Ireland firmware, it doesn't bother me as i have data sense etc..

Mine is a Thailand unbranded model and I've just received the update.
(installing right now...)

Nothing on my NL920 on EE in the UK, my other storage is 16GB :'(

 

[Blocks9]

I contacted Orange/EE regarding this update, and the customer service guy said it was coming soon, but wouldn't be specific!

 

[KKRLessey]

Hope it's very soon!

 

[Verner]

I still don't understand how in the UK, according to the Official Web Site, that it's available for Vodafone but not for the unbranded 920's?!?! Surely MS/Nokia would get it right then give it to Vodafone etc. for them to tinker with their "bits and bobs"? No?
I've tried tweeting and emailing Nokia UK, all to no avail!
:-(

Just updated to the Amber and faced a strange behavior (dunno if it was before the update, but I guess I would have noticed that definitely):
when you swipe from the left to the right or vise versa in any application without releasing your finger, the content on the screen will shake randomly as if it was trying to position itself constantly.
If you swipe while releasing your finger from the screen then everything scrolls very smoothly like before the update.
Could someone, please, check if this thing will happen to your phone or not: for example, open the photo hub, swipe to any direction and keep holding your finger on the screen - will it struggle to hold the picture steady while your finger remains on the screen?

UK has unlocked and three MOs before GDR2 rollout has finished.

nope, it stays still and you get the share options etc.. I'd say once you get one of the Nokia updates like extras and info or display it will be fine so don't be worrying!!

no this update didn't take up alot of time for me (it said it would take about ten minutes somewhere at the start of the update proces)

I found my carriers unreleased firmware that's still waiting for approval through Nokia Care Suite. So if you're eager to update but want the correct firmware (as I was), check if you can download it through NCS or Nokia Software Updater for Retail and flash your phone. Backups also worked fine.
