I got it, going to run it through its paces and report back!

You doing it on your 1020?

EDIT: NM, should have refreshed before posting.

 

[joshschw]

It isn't, but in my 2 years on WP, I never even knew.

You need to enter the pass code though, so it's mostly useless

Yep, I always discover new things for myself when new software comes out, but it's always been there. LOL

 

[killer rin]

I was crazy enough to put the update on my 1020. Just closed my first app with the new "x" button in the multitasking screen, feels good man.

Gah, to put on 920 or not put it on my 920 That is the question. I dont know how I feel about voiding my warranty.

 

[bedlamite]

well that was pretty easy

Pulling the update down now!

Excellent! Finally custom ringtones!

I have only been waiting 3 years!

“The work we are doing is valuable, and a lot of people aren’t aware of it,” Belfiore said in an interview.

 

[hadareud]

Alright then, if everyone is doing it.

 

[f0lken]

This is the Mango beta all over again! Updating right now

 

[bedlamite]

Gears spinning, they spinning

Excited!!

Did anyone figure out a way to deal with the 3 columns yet? Care to share screens?

I think only 1080p displays can do the 3 column thing, and the 1520's going to be the first 1080p device

Just a rumor. Wasn't true.....yet...

Sorry should have clarified I meant for text messages etc.

 

[kharma45]

Might do mine later tonight, as long as no one has any battery life issues.

 

[lastflowers]

didn't realize it was coming out today.

 

[joshschw]

I can not believe that the visual voicemail volume 'bug' is still there.

To those unaware... it uses your phone default volume setting (xx/30) but outputs it through the ear speaker.... So you can't hear anything unless you jack it up to 30, which of course raises your phone volume to 30...

 

[bedlamite]

Updated.

First thing I did was to turn off the fucking autorotation

 

[f0lken]

I wanted my 3 columns

Is this safe to do on my daily driver?

It's too early to say, but I just updated my DD 920 with no ill effects

 

[SCHUEY F1]

One of the best things about this preview program is that hopefully we will get 8.1 quicker as well.

 

[JaggedSac]

True. Guess I will wait to make sure.

 

[toff74]

Updated.

haha.. Same here.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Crazy the battery life you can get when you don't use it, :lol

I have been waiting to take in my 920 in and it has been just sitting there and the battery life is crazy when you don't have anything running in the background, etc. Only 5% drop in 1 day 20 hours. Estimated time remaining 34 days.

Wait I spoke too soon! How the hell do I set a custom tone?! It says this on the blog:

• More useful ringtones: With Update 3, you can use custom ringtones for more things—including instant messages, emails, voicemails, and reminders. You can also assign custom ringtones to contacts for text messages, so you'll know who's texting you without even looking.

But I cannot find anyway to do it!

 

[zedge]

NM, clicked the link below and to took me to the correct local I guess, downloaded now. Weird.

Phone update now downloading.

Edit the contact and both those things are options in that menu.

Nokia is pushing hard for business customers but many want a blackberry-like notification light. Glance screen notification aren't the same as that colored led.

They should really just have the windows key light up.

Joe with the confirmation:

For those asking-- 3rd column in start (and all the other related UI changes throughout OS) are for LARGE SCREEN devices only (w 1080p).

And of course he has to show his family again:

a lot of our work has been focused on getting new, great apps. my 10-year old son has gotten started.. you can too! http://apps.windowsstore.com/default.htm

Good. an extra column on 92x devices is silly I think.

 

[hadareud]

Right, up and running.

Having the x there might actually entice me not to instantly close all my apps after using them.

 

[juliushandle]

Any browser improvements in GDR3 besides rotation lock?

you should only really need to do it on apps that use location. I imagine those are the main battery-life killers


EDIT: This is my favorite

Connect to Wi-Fi in OOBE when switching on your new phone for the first time or after you your reset your phone, so you can restore your data even before connecting to a cellular network.

 

[hadareud]

Yeah, the main reason why I closed them so far was that closing multiple apps was a pain in the arse with the back button.

Now that that problem is solved I will try and change my habits.

 

[brotkasten]

Yeah, it was my favorite feature in Mango.

 

[kharma45]

So this is just an update right, nothing gets wiped?

There is always something absent!

Perfect time to send my 920 in for repairs

I may have to go get a 520 or 620.

Get the 620 for $99 at Best Buy
$99 620

I saw that, pretty sweet deal. My wife is giving me grief though, :lol

It's the GDR3 RTM, but without the sugarcoating by Nokia (i.e. Bittersweet Shimmer).

Yep.

Does this mean the upcoming business stuff like VPN is going to be pushed out like this as well? Finally, a progress bar on the spinning gears.

 

[PseudoKirby]

T-mobile problem or my 820?

Hopefully.
