UK: Portico available on EE

[leebaboon]

Talked to Nokia support this morning after another few shut downs. Was told I should perform a hard reset and see if that fixes things.

Just had to contact them again as it has been showing the cogs moving for over 3 hours now!! Spoke to a guy called Jonathan who told me that their 920 took around 4 hours to complete a hard reset, apparently its dependent on how much data the phone has stored. Not feeling very confident but we shall see.

That seemed to go pretty smoothly. It appeared to hang after downloading, but a bit of waiting revealed that it hadn't done.

Does anyone know if Portico fixes the hard reset/brick problem? I've wanted to do a hard reset for ages, but I haven't dared since bricking my old phone by doing one.

What's the hard reset procedure? Vol down and power?

The only issues I have noticed so far on mine since the update is the fact that the brightness seems to have a hard time adjusting itself and staying the way it is so its sort of distracting when using the phone. The second thing I have noticed is the fact that the battery life seems to have gotten worse for me as I seem to have lost 15% of battery in the space of three hours which never used to happen before....I'm hoping the problem somehow is related to the fact that the phone needs time adjust with the update so here is me hoping for the best at the moment.

Anyone else notice the same things as me ?

Yeah you hold them together and wait till the phone vibrates to let go rly:

 

[CaptDjob]

Isn't vol down and pwr button just soft reset?

 

[meandu229]

Yes vol down and pwr = soft reset no loss of data

 

[rockstarzzz]

Then in that case, I've never come across the bricking of any of my Lumias solely because I kept thinking Hard reset = vol down + power
So how do you actually hard reset this then? Not that I would want to risk a brick

BTW, may I add that after 2 complete discharge cycles post-update, I have used my phone on 3G (whatsapp installed), for about 9 hours now and only lost 16%. Idle time out of 9 hours is about 7 hours. Other 2, while travelling, I've listened to music, streamed online as well AND used whatsapp a few minutes here and there.

The auto-brightness thing is very disappointing. It used to work perfectly. Now I've just turned it off because it's so distracting.

Hard reset is when you go into settings->about-> reset your phone. I think you can do it with *both* volume buttons and power too, but i'm not sure. When I did it via the settings menu to try and fix a problem with my old one, it simply killed it which is a known issue.

I also have this, it can't seem to make up its mind!

Sorry if this has been asked, 3 kids running free at the mo, not getting a minute to read the thread at the minute! Just got an update (Orange Customer), got all excited obviously, but the Firmware says 1232.5951.1249.1017 - OS 8.0 10211.204 .... according to quick google search this isn't portico (1249.... is the number quoted) Can anyone help? Thanks

I'm having real trouble with my mobile network and the WiFi connection since the update. The speed seems to have plummeted. The WPC app is now really struggling. Im get all sorts of errors and am struggling to post etc.

1249 - firmware update is supposedly addressing the heating issue and portico itself is bringing bug fixes and 3-4 features like wifi always on, drafts etc. But 1249 also removes 2G connection for EE customers.

I've experienced the same but I think it is WPC app as my browser works with normal speed and so does Line and Whatsapp.
