Nokia cyan update

[Shubham Pokle]

I have some questions to ask ...

1) Does anybody have an idea of when we would get the OTA Lumia cyan update ?

2) Would i get the latest firmware later if i download the dev preview now ?

3) Are there a lot of bugs in the preview that i should be worried about ?

4) Does the new video player in wp 8.1 support new codecs ?

5) Would cortana recognize non US and non UK English accents (I know that she doesn't do that in this early build) ?

6) Finally, should i download the preview or wait for the cyan ota update ???

1. Probably by mid June going by the previous ones release times.
2. Yes
3. A hard reset fixes most of them. I didn't even have to hard reset in
my phone since I cld find nothing wrong with it.
4. I am not too sure...
5. I am an Indian and cortana does a great job at recognizing my accent, huge improvement over tell me.
6. If u wanna play safe and is not eager to get all new features wait
till june-july to get it, if ur really eager to play with new features do
it now.

1: Maybe? I'm not one of them, so I can't actually say, sorry.
2: I would bet yours and my phone on this. There is as close to 100% as to just call it 100% that we will get the firmware. Don't let this worry you.
3: There are some, I wont lie. Some people get more, and some get less. The one almost everyone sees is a battery drain, but that gets slightly better, and when the firmware is released, it should take care of it entirely.
4: I.... Don't actually know, I haven't tried that. Although (Don't take this as proof) I do have an old video from many years ago and from an old phone that works since 8.1. I hope someone else has an answer I can't give ATM.
5: This is also a hard one, as some she will, and some she wont. You didn't mention your accent, so I'll assume it's Russian, since it's the first one that popped into my head (Darn newsfeeds!). She "might" be able to understand you now, maybe. Possibly. Microsoft has said they are planning on bringing more languages out for her, though I never looked for a time.
6: This is an easy answer. Look at videos, and features, and then check what others say about them. I, myself, like this preview build. I am glad I did this, but it's not for everyone. You will have bugs, at least until the firmware releases. If you fear bugs, then don't. If you can understand these risks (Bugs wont normally break your phone), then go for it. I have had near zero issues with this, and enjoy it immensely.

The preparation update is 2mb or so.
Wp8.1 itself is close to 400mb.
But there were reports of users who are no longer getting the preview and Microsoft halted to fix a bug caused during install.
And there is Thank button for thanking people

That's universal and a widely reported issue but someone on this forum found a solution but I don't remember the link.

I believe the actual 8.1 update is approximately 500 Mb or so. As far as the 720 goes, I would consult the sub-forum for that device.

June to July maybe.

2) Would i get the latest firmware later if i download the dev preview now ?
Everyone will get it but not before June to July.

3) Are there a lot of bugs in the preview that i should be worried about ?
Some general battery drain, not a very good Xbox music. But some pretty great features too like 3rd party WORKING FILE EXPLORERS. Be sure to Hard reset after the update. If you experience any lag for a long time, try a hard reset again and again. If it still doesn't help, try hard reset but do not RESTORE YOUR BACKUP.
4) Does the new video player in wp 8.1 support new codecs ?
Not tried but I don't think it does. It supports subtitles now. Also these free apps (FLV Video Player HD | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (India) and Mkv Player | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (India)) and also the paid Moli Player Pro are good.

5) Would cortana recognize non US and non UK English accents (I know that she doesn't do that in this early build) ?
I too am an Indian and it even recognizes whispering. The recognition quality and speed depends on the speed of your internet also (for difficult words and phrases and whisphers) I have no problems in that area.

6) Finally, should i download the preview or wait for the cyan ota update ???
Depend on what you want, it's great but you may hate the new Music, the slight battery drain etc.

Read this before and after updating. Do you want to enable Cortana outside the US? Here's how you do it | Windows Phone Central
I you want to install apps that are only available in the Indian store, just change the region back to India and restart. Then change it back to US to get everything as before.

1. Expect it after few months from the release date of WP8.1
2. Definitely
3. Not lots of bug! There are some minor bugs! (Annoying Ones)
4. Nope!
5. Yes! I am an Indian and recognizes my accent pretty well!
6. Its upto you! If you can live with some minor bugs then go for the preview! (WP8.1 is AWESOME..) And if you cant You've got to wait!

Ankit, hasn't it been pretty well documented that Nokia Cyan will accompany the public OTA release of 8.1? That was my understanding. Also, that those with the preview will receive the entire package that will include another (some may call it the final, but there will obviously be more) update to the 8.1 preview along with Nokia Cyan. Did I miss something?
