Will I get GDR3?

[khader_moham]

As soon as I read the gdr3 post, I went to the appstudio site and registered myself.
Will I get the GDR3 update today??

 

[ttsoldier]

yes.

 

[khader_moham]

Cool!! Can't wait

I seriously think 90% of the WP user base will have Update 3 by the end of the night! lol

 

[khader_moham]

And those 90% will void their warranty too...........

Got nothing to loose...I purchased mine from a parallel importer so no warranty for me to loose

Sure that there are others in the same boat.

You're wrong.
They stated that it MAY void warranty, they didn't said that it WILL.
Only AT&T will be void their warranty i guess.

If it bricks your phone, how the hell will the carriers know you put another OS version on it. . You think they would actually check before handing you a new device anyways?

The post on wpcentral says 'This WILL void your warranty '

The post on wpcentral says 'This WILL void your warranty '

"After you install a preview update, you MAY void any warranty from your MO and OEM."
Introducing Windows Phone Preview for Developers

I get it now, the official blog says 'may' but wpcentral posted it as 'will'
That's a relief

 

[berty6294]

Now that I think about it, you think the idiots behind the counter will even know the difference? lol i know the majority of Verizon employees wont, neither will Best Buy! and Nokia is too kind to really care imo

i have a dev center account and had just installed the preview apps, now im downloading the gdr3 preview or shud i say pre release....

 

[khader_moham]

Good luck...
Updated already with app studio account

 

[hakmi]

they wont notice anything, except maybe the samsung dealers, i used to brick my xperia sola while customizing the rom, something happened to the motherboard, took it to service center, they changed the motherboard ( i got a new imei) and changed the battery too, though i had to wait 3 months long...LOL

Microsoft is just saying that to make sure they aren't liable if your device is bricked. But in most cases, no one at a store (whether it be a Microsoft Store or a carrier's store) will be able to check or tell the difference, and will still swap your device.

Again, this is just Microsoft's way of making sure they aren't liable if your device gets bricked, and then someone like AT&T denies you a replacement. Someone working in an AT&T Store likely isn't going to bother to check, or even be able to tell.

There are other steps beyond registering, you have to install the Preview for Developers app and check a box within it before your phone can pick up the update.

It's all pretty straight forward though, installed the update earlier on, everything I've tried is working fine. I look forward to all the moaning from people who are expected more than they were explicitly told would be in this update, including the three columns on the start screen which was pretty clear was for 1080p devices only.

Main thing for me with the update is it didn't break anything and the phone isn't any slower after installing it. Roll on 8.1 now

 

[khader_moham]

Yup, all went smoothly, and I bet 50% of windows phones are now with GDR3
