My Nokia Lumia 820 is now running official MS GDR2 *** Nokia Amber update via OTA
Woohoo!!
All files came in a single update!
Next on line is Nokia Lumia 620 India. This week!

Acha, so "coming soon" will be "available" once OTA update is made available for that device! So I'm waiting for L620 OTA hopefully by end of this month>

Yeah L720 isnt come out here.. As per this Site: Availability in Asia Pacific - Nokia

Hehehe, Ya. Icing on the cake is that the guy who is trading has no clue about amber. I told him to update it to amber so that i wont have to waste any time. I'll get my hands straight to amber

I'd suggest you to reset your 920 once when you get it. It'll render it clean to factory defaults and wipe all the data so that you can get rid of all the annoyances he'd have done to phone. After that you can customise to it you own liking from the scratch.

Settings->About->Reset your phone

Yup that is what i plan to do, but wouldnt installing amber would have formatted the phone itself. Correct me if I'm wrong.

P.S; you live on this forum, right

If its updated from Nokia Care Suite or Updater then Yes if its updated via OTA then Nope.

LOL...Well indirectly yes. I've hooked upto instant notifications on Gmail and besides that I've an utter eagerness to reply to all my notifications as soon as I can when the message is posted, in other words OCD if you will.

Okay, What all i need to check before completing the trade?

1) Both Cameras
2) Call quality
3) Loudspeaker and earphones
4) Body and screen for defects
5) wifi
6) Data connection on 2G 3G. wont be possible on 4g as i dont have a USIM.

Anything else i need to do?

It'd would be really hard to check the phone for faults in one go and that too on the spot. That's why I told you to try the phone for a day or two before buying it out. I'd like to point out the nifty features that you should really check out whether they're working or not as they're very very important. Besides yours, here's my list:

1) Sensors:

a) Accelerometer (responsible for screen orientation)
b) Gyroscope (responsible for tracking rotation or twist) - Check it by "Flip to Silence" option
c) Ambient (responsible for adjusting screen brightness)
d) Proximity (responsible for preventing unwanted touch-input when user's ear is near to the phone)
e) Compass (self explanatory)

2) OIS, Dual LEDs (both of them) & Autofocus - make sure it works properly

3) GPS - your entire offline navigation depends over it.

4) Stereo recording (its been included in Amber) & Active noise cancellation - make sure it works

5) Display - check if there's no dead pixel or color bleeding

6) SIM Tray - I've seen many people who have f*cked up their SIM Tray.

7) NFC - if possible though not a big issue

That's it from my side

PS: Some users have reported yellow hue in pictures when taken from Nokia Pro Cam. So that's a universal issue.

thanks a ton mate. I think checking NFC is not a big problem Even 720 supports it, so i'd just share a file from my phone to his

Since 920 has wireless charging built in. See if you can check it too.

Eagrly,waiting for the update, meanwhile can any one tell me if our beloved 720 supports wps(Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
I played with settings and was able to connect with every mean of Wifi(b/g/n) but no WPS button

AFAIK WP8 does not support WPS. Don't know about GDR2 though.

How to connect my lumia 720 to nokia care suite?

 

[Angry Pixel]

Got my hands on the beauty. Sorry to leave 720 family but I really needed a better camera like 920 and its 1gb ram. Loved my time with 720, never gave any problem. Superb phone. Buh bye

you should have a look at 925 which is available in India easily. Its much better in camera performance but when compared to the internal storage it has just 16gb out of the box with no SD card but 925 has aluminium feel on its body, feels light weight as compared to my 920 tank size . and yes 925 have 6element lenses for sharper ,low light photography.(and it was pre-installed with amber by nokia when released ).

 

[adarsh9100]

Constantly asking for it won't make it come soon buddy. It may arrive in first week of September. If you want to check for updates, you can check it via Nokia Care Suite or Updater.

He didn't buy a new phone. He traded his for 920.

So Glance on L720 will kill its battery...

I'm quite relieved after reading this: Nokia works a LCD miracle - Glance on the Lumia 920

The support page for 620 shows the firmware version which is out-of-the-box in 720. Hence, 620 was updated with the latest version which came with 720. That is why, there is no update in 720. Amber for 620 will be coming in few days. 720 amber update will take a bit of tiime
