I know the developer preview is out for GDR3. Does anybody know when is the actual release date for it. I have the rogers version of the 1020 just curious on when I will get it

[vidhunprakashmk]

Q1 2014

thanks

I know AT&T sucks at releasing updates, but being realistic, when is a reasonable guess to expect the GDR3 update from AT&T for the 1020?

I believe the math is +6m after manufacturer official release so Q3 2014? ;)

Sorry.. What is Q1 or Q3.....???

By that time, all we want is the new next Lumia and not a late update.

[Del Rei]

You're completely right.

The "Q" stands for Quarter, so Q1 would be the First Quarter of the year (Jan, Feb, March)

Nokia should have released the phone with these features already instead of providing an update after almost a year from the release.

Having said that, it's not just the issue of Nokia. And it is generally a good practice to wait half a year to a year after the product release before you buy it anyways.

By that time, usually something better has either been announced or released that probably includes the fixes/enhancements that should've came with whatever device you were looking at 6m prior... vicious cycle but if you're one to be happy with a device that is a quarter or even a halfway into it's effective life cycle/support, then by all means. Though I'm new to the Windows Phone game so I'm not sure how accurate that is but that's how most Android devices are besides the Nexus devices...

I miss the timely release of updates that MS proved was possible with the Mango update; since then it seems the update schedule has gone down the ****ter.
At this pace we will see the WP8.1 for ATT 1020 maybe in 2015.

GDR1 was fast, GDR2 was 3 weeks after what they said it would come out - there hasnt been really any confirmations other than the coming weeks to early 2014 so no one really knows.

Probably I will flash my phone as soon as WP8.1 firmware comes out.

How to install the preview of GDR3

[TruPlaya187]

Hi, Just bought the Lumia 1020 (brand new) from someone. it was locked to Rogers but now it is unlock. I didn't do any updates or anything but out of the box, GDR3 was already installed! I'm not talking about the update that Nokia will push at one point (black update) but the GDR3 (Closing apps, driver mode...etc) Did anybody bought a new Lumia 1020 from Rogers lately and got that same update out of the box?

That's because the person added the developer update. I did the same for my Rogers 1020. TELUS and Rogers won't be releasing gdr till the after the New year.

Works fine. Not much of a difference. Except for the app closing its meh. Black is what I am waiting for to fix the pos algorithm currently compressing jpegs and full raw support.
