Re: The Windows Phone Thread

Tried updating my 520 via 3G WiFi... After 3 minutes of "checking for updates...", it says "we can't check for updates (error code)". WTF???

Mine came installed with Amber + GDR2. Gonna need both Black and GDR3. What to do? Go to Nokia Care? Any other suggestions??

P.S. 3G was working fine. I setup and synced FB and Google accounts in a jiffy. Downloaded FB, Whatsapp, and updated several other apps. Only the phone update didn't work. :(

AFAIK, phone updates are supported only over WiFi.

There's a checkbox in Phone Update settings - 'Automatically download updates if my data settings allow it'. Enable it and try checking for updates on 3G again.

Was updating via WiFi. My bro-in-law has insane 3G speeds (Xperia Z; Airtel). Was sharing his data connection. Like I said, everything else was working super-fast, only the phone update didn't work.

If you mean to say that you were using your phone to a WiFi netwrk on an Xperia, then you should be able to update I think. Just try a couple of times, sometimes it takes a few attempts to pick up the update. Also, keep you phone plugged into the wall socket all throught the process.
 
Re: The Windows Phone Thread

My 3G has activated. :D

Immediately checked for update. Found it. Now I need somebody's WiFi to download it.
*sigh* if only I had a wireless router, I could've used my PC internet.

Re: The Windows Phone Thread

There is supposedly a L635 planned , possibly for MWC, and another 18xx - date not known.

However I'd be very sceptical of any new Lumias until April. I'd bet that any new Lumia will come with WP8.1.

All current wp8 devices will get an update to wp8.1 and the lumia 720 and 820 have excellent battery life (have both of them at home) am myself switching to my 720 after my exams (stuck with my old bold 5 for now)

- - - Updated - - -

The 720 battery lasts at least 1-2 days easily with rough use
 
Re: The Windows Phone Thread

All the stuff I said are only rumors. The reduction in internal memory shouldn't be much of an issue as WP 8.1 supports installing apps to the memory card according to the latest Sdk leaks..

Now it is confirmed that, there will be no new WP handset on this MWC. We might have to wait till the launch of WP 8.1 which is on April. So I don't see any hope of international version of ICON

International version of the ICON can possibly be the first handset to launch with 8.1, dont you think ? :)
