So I waited 3 months for Mango, 4 months for a working 7.8 and now (with a 920 on EE in UK) am waiting again for GDR2 and the 1020. This is not how to increase market share or customer retention. Apple manage to release updates for iOS worldwide for multiple devices on numerous carriers. Or is Microsoft and Nokia trying to copy the Android way in an effort to copy Samsung's success?

Microsoft did a great job of going global at almost the same time on many different phones made my different manufacturers.

Yes, its frustrating waiting for a few (e.g. AT&T 920), but so many models on carriers have the update now.

When as many WP devices sell as Apple, perhaps they can apply more pressure in carrier contracts.

So does this update solve the issue that happens with taking FOREVER to turn the phone back on after battery fully depletes?

Apple release one update per year.

Apple release one update per year.

One major release a year plus a number of smaller bug fix/stability releases. They've released 5 updates so far this year and as far as I know they've all be available almost immediately for most users. iOS version history - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I like Windows Phone as much as anyone but it's impossible to pretend that WP's update process is close to on par with iOS.

Updated my Lumia (Belgium unlocked in less than 30 min here. Everything went well, granted I don't have much on my new phone but I always stress about it.

Please understand that iOS is installed on only limited models of devices (3,3GS,4,4S,5) while there are variety of WP devices. This makes it very difficult for WP to prepare for the update "on par with iOS" if you mean to update all the devices at the same time. From the pace of the GDR2 official update release, we can see that devices of different brand/models/operators will experience different test procedure, which requires different time to finish. So just be patient as Nokia only promises to finish pushing Amber by the end of September. Move your target day of receiving Amber to the end of September and wait for some surprise to receive it earlier than that.

Wireless charging issue with GDR2+Amber

I'm having an issue with wireless charging after updating to GDR2/Amber. Before the update I could put my phone on the wireless charging stand before I went to bed and wake up in the morning with it fully charged. After the update I wake up with the phone around 70% and not charging (the light on the charging stand comes for a second every couple of minutes but won't stay on). I need to do some more testing but I think the phone is getting fully charged during the night, the charger is switching off and then the phone is discharging but the charger isn't turning on again, or at least when it does turn on it decides the phone doesn't need charging and switches off again immediately. Even in this state the phone still recognises that it's on the charger, it shows the plug over the battery symbol in the top right of the screen, but it's just not charging.

I have the Glance feature set to peak, which means the clock shows constantly (in night mode) while the phone is on the charger (and the phone recognises that it's on the charger, even in the morning when it's no longer charging). I'm going to try to turn that off and see if it helps but I thought I'd check first if anyone else has this issue?

NL 920 Flash no longer working after GDR2 (AT&T)

Likely a result of my flashing the rom and certainly not a dealbreaker on a phone I've had for a year now but if I can fix it, all the better. After flashing GDR2, my flash stopped working. For the record, I can confirm that it is a software issue as I've swapped out mine and my son's NL 920 casings with the flash built in and it worked on his whereas mine was at a loss (Of course this could imply a issue with the connection between the flash and the mobo but there really isn't much of one.) So, any suggestions?
