George P Global Moderator Posted December 19, 2012 Global Moderator Share Posted December 19, 2012 Nokia has begun to push out the first over-the-air (OTA) update for Windows Phone for their Lumia 920 and 820 devices. This morning at 10AM PT (1PM ET), Nokia and Microsoft along with their carrier partners Rogers and AT&T have officially begun to roll out the OS and firmware updates for the Nokia Lumia 920 (and Lumia 820 on AT&T).

NeoTrunks Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 It takes awhile to prepare the update. Mine has been stuck on 100% for a few minutes now. Update: The gears are turning now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted December 19, 2012 Author Global Moderator Share Posted December 19, 2012 It feels like its taking long or not doing anything nut just wait and it'll end. It's not just one update nut a few things together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh_LosAltosHills Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 update went smooth and my 920 feels the same, which is great. one thing I noticed was that Ive had my phone unplugged for 40 minutes and the battery info tells me that I'm still at 100% with brightness all the way high. Not sure if thats one of the under the hood fixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if thats one of the under the hood fixes. My battery has only run out once. Starting at 85% I streamed 3.5 hours of Shaq's Comedy Jams and half a movie from Netflix over WiFI with Bluetooth stereo at 100% volume. Have not even gone below 75% any other time.

canucksrule Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 after updating, my GPS is off by a couple blocks now (Rogers, in Vancouver). Anyone else seeing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floopydoodle Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 This is ridiculous. My Lumia semi-bricked today at work. It wouldn't respond to a soft reset so I had to do a hard reset. Thankfully I had enabled Skydrive syncing of my photos. But if I have to wait until february for the update it might become permanently bricked by then.

MorganX Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 So that's like a BIG improvement! :D :D Just took first pics since update, you nailed it Bogas. The pictures are amazing. Now that's what I call a camera update. I've owned a Lumia 900 as well and for the first time I feel like the Zeiss lens "is" a big deal. Having said that, the camera software was really bad before. This is "major" improvement. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I love about Nokia , they provide software support as long as possible and as good as possible , I just received an update for my 3 year old phone for performance improvements!
