Waiting for My Lumia 620... any idea when its going to roll out for 620???

 

[Sgthree]

it does seem strange how Microsoft, Nokia, Windows Phone, Nokia UK are all posting how great things are on twitter, but no one will answer any questions.

Can someone ask them about the O2 issue having tested and approved almost a week ago, yet no roll out.

I may have been put on a black list for asking too often :devil:

One thing is certain.All Lumias will take Cyan until end of September

End of september ?? More like End of December -_-

I sent Nokia UK a tweet yesterday, no reply.

Its chaos at its finest. M$ giving their customers the bird, maybe trying to get frustrated customers to buy upcomming 8.1 phones.
Although most would just go for android instead. Morons in Nokiasoft screwing us all over.

Bring back Billy Bob Gates. I can't see this mess happening under him.

Tbh I'm now confused as to what is what , is Cyan Gdr1 ?? Or are they different, is Gdr1 an update too Cyan ?? If Gdr1 is released next week is it the fixed Cyan update ?

Microsoft have made this soo freekin painfully slow and confusing, I doubt they could have screwed this up any better than they have so far

 

[raydwatts]

how is the update available in china for 1520 but not for hong kong

perhaps because Hong Kong is dual language and requires testing for Cortana/Xiao Na supporting both English and Mandarin.

It does seem to be getting closer though. It's peculiar, if we assumed it would be a few months we'd be less frustrated. It is precisely because it could be hours or days away that it seems so tantalising.

WP8.1 is the OS, GDR is an update to that. Cyan is a separate entity - it's the firmware for the phone.

If we look at Apple, when they release an update it is released for all devices in one go, none of this messing about MS is doing, 1 device per day at best and even at that only in certain regions.

Afaik is Xiao Na not included in Cyan

Cyan update is available to Malaysia 1520!

Without firmware (Cyan) it would safe to assume then that 8.1 Gdr1 and some of its new enhancements will not work, so who is holding up Cyan, Microsoft or the networks ?? And why did company phones with bitlocker ever get the Dp installed ?? That tiny minority absolutely screwed up the Cyan rollout

I didn't think of that...that's pretty funny and true why did company phones get basically a beta OS that was known would have bugs...ruined for the rest of us :\

I'm wondering if GDR1 will come with a new firmware update (when officially release ofc, not Developer Preview).

 

[rcballa12]

Ok, it's after 1PM ET. Which phone is getting it today? 1020 (US, AT&T)???

I hope not, at this rate it is going to be Summer 2017 before everyone gets all the bits

Firmware - firmware is the combination of persistent memory and program code and data stored in it. Black, Cyan etc are all Nokia firmware. You wont hear those names on HTC / Samsung WP devices (or diff firmware names). Normally updates in the firmware will simply enable use of hardware enhancements. This would enable Nokia or others to put some other customizations on top of it.

Operating System - software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. WP 8, 8.1, 8.1 GDR 1 etc are os (or its updated versions). This is the base layer for apps to work on top of it and hence it will have different visual changes when updated.

And yeah, I concluded that Cyan available at VF IE for 1520 is a typo.

Will check in few hours with NSU if something will change (in the meanwhile I'll use the DP, again arghhhhh).
