This is my experience on Black Update. Battey improved, to be able to close the app in Multi-tasking is convenient, auto rotation off is ok, temp files are now lessen. Unfortunately, the camera issues are still there

Re: Lumia Black is now available for Lumia 920!

I was under the impression that the black update would give me the option to change the night clock colour, and have a pedometer,(step counter) on my glance screen, but no,why???

 

[Promethius99]

I have text notifications email,no pedometer as promised or the ability to change the night clock colour :unhappy:

Pedometer was not promised for all Lumias but only for the 1520. The 920 lacks the hardware and hence its not enabled

If you go to Settings -> Glance screen you should be able to change Night Mode from Off to Red, Green or Blue. You can also set the times for the night glance. Pedometer will not work on L920.

You can use ringtone maker to select a song on your phone and make that into a ringtone. You should be able to select those in the menu you described. You can also use the sync software with your computer to sync ringtones (not 100% sure on the process there)

I have found quite a few bugs...
1) WhatsApp
- I can't increase or decrease the volume of WhatsApp videos (maybe WhatsApp requires an update and I did restart my phone just to ensure that it's not a problem but with no luck :/ )
- auto closes
2) yellowish tint and blurry images :/
This is how it took the picture


and this is how it saved it

does anyone else have these problems???

I don't personally use WhatsApp so I can't help on that one. The Yellowish tint though has been known for a little while. Have a look at this thread which discusses it. It first appeared in the Amber update and it seems the tint still remains in the Black update.

actually once I open WhatsApp videos....it so happens that I can't change the volume of my music player too

 

[hope4wp]

it doesn't let us set our own ringtone....it lets us set different ringtones for each contact :/

Probably an issue with Whatsapp, wait for an update from them

Have you used ringtone maker or the desktop sync app to create ringtones? You can't pick songs from your music to be your ringtones, you have to assign them as ringtones and then you'll be able to use them as such.

I answered to his comment....the new black update doesn't let us set our music files as ringtones it just lets us assign ringtones to contacts....until and unless we connect our phone to a laptop/pc and move the music files to the ringtones folder...or use the ringtone maker app like you said
