    Hello!
    i'v just read that Cortana can be started by voice comand from lockscreen?
    i means it looks like you don't neet press the search button now.
    Is it right? On which models of lumia odse it work?
    i think it is like 930 and higher.

    i am considering to buy 930 but fearing if that feature dosn't not work.
    Thanks.

    This is the only article I could find on what you're referring to.

    'Hey Cortana!' brings passive-listening to Windows Phone this fall for a hands-free experience | Windows Central

    It would appear the L930, 1520 will have this along with any future high end phones (not 830 though). In the article they list the Icon but since it's having update issues I won't make a point of it.

    I think any phone running Snapdragon 800 or later could do this, so HTC One M8 as well. That's just my assumption though. Might require a firmware up date.

    ​Except that "Hey Cortana" is part of Denim and HTC phones do not get Lumia Firmware. HTC would have to build it in to their Firmware and push an update.

    I assume you have a source for that?

    I was under the impression that it's part of an update to 8.1 that MS is simply bundling with Denim for Lumia users?

    Hmmm... Maybe I did mistake this article (Here are the missing features from the Nokia Lumia 730 and Lumia 830 that you may care about | Windows Central) as only chronicling Denim Firmware...???

    ​Maybe it is 8.1.1???

    I believe it's a software feature that's only available on the Snapdragon 800 and higher.
