So, that French carrier said Denim was going to hit our 630/635s somewhen between January and February, I think it's time to open this thread.

While we wait, do you think Denim will bring hiddenable action bar to our devices?

[worldspy99]

As soon as the carrier decides to finish its testing and start rolling it out.

No one asked when it will roll out lmao!

[Beppe Gissi]

Denim is available on 635 in Italy, on Wind carrier! Prolly going to hit every 630/635 in the next few days

Rebranded my phone and installed Belgium CV Denim update on Lumia 635. What's new:
WP8.1 Update stuff (Folders, etc.)
And... Equalizer!
On display settings now are these updates: You can change Low, Medium and High level brightness (!!!) and adjust color profile.
But no hiddenable action bar and "Hey cortana"...

You got the equalizer??? But it was supposed to be hardware dependent...

Heh, I don't think so... And it can be set for headphones and phone speakers ;)

[abhinavsaprey]

Great!! So this means that my Lumia 525 should also get the equalizer when updated to Lumia Denim...

[Beppe Gissi]

Brightness and color profiles were already customizable on 630...

No hiddenable action bar is such a let down!

MS has f*cked up soo hard the Denim update.

I was running the preview for developers (Cyan,with live folders and everything, except of the equalizer)
and then I found out in the recent Denim article here at windows central, that if you disable the PfD,
it will automatically show that you are running Denim..

Yep! Now it shows that I'm running the Denim firmware but the equalizer is nowhere to found!
The only option is flip to silence..

Well I had suspected that some kind of BS would occur after first seeing that the
various apps versions under Extras+Info on Denim update, was outdated compared to the ones that is shown to my phone..
(and still are as I see on the screenshots above)

Now what the F do I do? Return to PfD or wait for the equalizer to magically appear overnight?
:P

If your device is entitled to something from the Denim firmware, you'll get.a firmware update. Otherwise, not. The Denim warning is triggered by you being on 8.1.1

So in order to get the official Denim (only the equalizer), I have to either wait for an update via PfD program or hard reset my phone!

Does anyone knows if the official Denim bring any improvements to the IE? (such as less crashes or faster scroll response?)
Because on PfD when scrolling on some sites, the scroll has a tiny annoying delay and it crashes more often (compared to the out-of-box Cyan)

II'm on Cyan no PfD and that happens anyway. It's just IE that's bad.

[Alfa Kapa]

Imagine the crashes you see, multiplied by 2!
It's like a time bomb expecting to blow up at any moment.
Let's face it, the 512mb WP era is over.. even the 435 got 1Gb of RAM!

[Beppe Gissi]

It works bad also on 735 and 830 I think, IE it's only getting worse and worse.

[anon(9057135)]

Release the damn update faster T-Mobile USA!!! These new features look kickass!

That's a trick they found to outsell Nokia labeled phones. Can't believe same elope and his team made L630 with 512MB RAM in this era!

I just hope i will get the 'Lumia Denim' and 'WP 8.1 Update 1' on my Lumia 630 before the original Nokia makes their first android phone in 2016.

[NoeCD]

With Lumia denim update can hide the navigation bar? I think yes or I hope :D

Nokia can't make phones at all anymore the department responsible for that was sold to Microsoft. If a "Nokia" phone is released, it's only the name and the actual manufacturer was another company that may have been contracted to make the device.

First, let's not get diverted from the topic.
Second, as a response to your comment, Do you know that few parts of Lumia phones and Nokia feature phones were manufactured by Foxconn (the same company who manufactures iPhones and Nokia N1 tablet) all these years? As long as Nokia design the software and hardware and assure the quality, it doesn't really matter to many of us who puts it all together. And the 'department' which microsoft is having now already fired 12000 Nokia employees and is probably having just some cubicles and furniture as Nokia assets.(Just kidding :P )
What i'm trying to say is if MS don't get their mess together asap WP will die too. No one can predict the smartphone market. Samsung was a king from past few years and now they are falling apart. So let's wait and watch. Nokia came back with N1 tablet when people like you told Nokia is dead.

Now, let's get back to the point. Is MS going to announce Denim for all on 21st along with the WP10 announcement? You know, just for the marketing sake?

Yeah I'm not worried about it I'm about 90% sure that WP is gonna die off :) as for denim as far as I know they can't just say "ok everyone can have it now" they're still at the whim of carrier testing. The devices will get it when the carriers say so. (for locked devices of course. I have no idea why Microsoft has their thumbs up their asses for unlocked phones.)
