Glance for Lumia Icon

Just bought a Lumia Icon on verizon. Does anyone hsve an explanatin as to why they would not include the glance feature. Windows OS needs every feature and advantage over droid and apple as it can get. I personally feel the WP8 platform is superior but they will loose more ground if features consumers have come to appreciate are removed from the phones. The icon is supposed to be a flagship phone. You've got to be kidding, right?

Unsurprisingly this has been already raised and discussed here over a week ago. You need to complain to Verizon.

So are we to assume that the preview for developers is the WP 8.1 update intended for Lumia Icon users? Why is it taking so long for this update to be released?!

Of those of you that have tried out the preview for developers on the Lumia Icon, what issues have you seen from it? Does it in fact void your warranty?

I don't think you should give up on Windows Phone. I think you should instead give up on Verizon. Lets say you had an android device, Verizon could do the same thing and hold up an important update that you're waiting for. AT&T is much quicker to release Windows Phone updates so you may want to try them next time.For example, you can see on this page Availability in North America - Nokia that AT&T has released the update for their top two phones the 1020 and 1520. The Verizon icon is almost the same as the Lumia 930 which is the international version. The 930 has been on Windows Phone 8.1 for many months. Windows Phone 8.1 has lots of new features including the notification center and Cortana. It's a shame that Verizon is too lazy, too slow or just doesn't care. I'm probably going to start installing the developer preview soon and you could do the same. Basically, you sign up for a free developer account. Then install the developer preview app to get the updates. Google has no such option for android uses so if Verizon were holding back an android update you'd be worse off. At least Microsoft gives us a stupid carrier work around... It's annoying but then you can enjoy your Windows Phone with out having to wait for Verizon whom doesn't care. They haven't even said a word about it which = worst carrier ever in my opinion.

Microsoft teases Denim for Lumia Icon

http://lumiaconversations.microsoft.com/2014/12/18/lumia-denim-takes-imaging-whole-new-level/
Seeing as how the Icon is your exclusive, Verizon, would you please confirm or deny that we will in fact see it?

Yah pretty much all Windows Phone users are fed up with Verizon. The Denim update is rolling out to everyone, but we have yet to get Cyan which was released early Summer. If you head over to the Windows Central forums for the Icon phone pretty much everyone is changing carriers. If I dont have the Denim update by the time my plan is up (2 months) I'm leaving for ATT as well. I'm so sick of Verizon being the Iphone/Samsung store. Not a single salesperson in the store knows anything about windows phones. Plus they stop selling the Icon, the flagship windows phone, within a year? Its Sammy or Iphone or nothing. Hell, they dont even push the Droid Turbo's which are their new phone. All I can think of is they are making way more money as a kick back from Apple and Samsung so thats what they push. I really hope Verizon gets on the ball, but I really think they are ridding themselves of Windows phones.

Glance for lumia 2520?

I'm not going to hold my breath, but is there any plan to release glance for the 2520? It's be nice to have that capability...

i wouldn't say so, as it is a different platform altogether mate, Windows 8.1 RT, not Windows Phone 8/8.1

Nokia Lumia Icon + DT900 wireless charging problem

I bought a Nokia Lumia Icon which had a defected SIM card tray. I replaced the daughter engine board where the SIM card tray is located without charging the phone first (the battery was completely empty) and now when I'm trying to charge the phone wirelessly with DT900, it just doesn't work. So I don't know whether it worked (or not) before my fixing procedure.
DT900 works with my wife's Lumia 1020 and my Lumia 928 so there's nothing wrong with it.
So all you technical gurus over here:
1) how does the wireless charging work with Lumia Icon/930? I.e. does anyone have any wiring diagrams for Lumia Icon/930? There are two pins on the main board but where do they go? I didn't detach the main board, only the engine cover assembly and the battery in order to replace the daughter engine board where the SIM card tray is. So does the engine cover assembly have anything to do with the wireless charging (I don't think so) or do those pins go straight to the battery?
2) does anyone know whether this is a common problem among Lumia Icon / 930 phones? A type fault or a serie of phones with defective rear cover and its wireless charging assembly?
I'd really appreciate if someone could help me. Thanks a lot in advance!

No problem, I fixed it by myself.
And I think that this kinda censorship sucks
I can understand that when a manufacturer provides a free user forum they do not appreciate information posted which may cause problems and then be held responsible for the damages as it is an 'official' resource provided by the manufacturer.
I'd suggest you lookup the meaning of censorship which this most definately is not.

Glance Screen for Lumia 625

Hello. I just bought this monster phone, the Lumia 625. I'm kinda wondering why it does not have the glance screen on it? Is it available for installation?

Why is it so crucial?
Well, as far as I know any other mobile phone manufacturer doesn't have that feature so that's really setting those Lumia phones apart from other phone models, whether it's iPhone or Android.
I'm almost happy with my Lumia 930 and Icon but there are two mistakes Nokia did when they released those models:
1) glance is missing. OK, it would've costed more money to order those kind of displays from the subcontractor but it sure would've been worth every penny even though the phone would've been more expensive. Just look at the prices of iPhone 6. Just would've had to set the price below iPhone (to gain more market share within global mobile phone market) and advertise the glance. That's a brilliant feature and I miss it. But like they say "minimum effort, maximum gain"...
2) 41MP camera and xenon flash. Should've Lumia 930 been equipped with the similar camera & flash & glance like Lumia 1020, it would've been the greatest phone Nokia has ever released. Bigger display, quad-core processor etc. compared to Lumia 1020.
I sincerely hope Microsoft would combine all those aforementioned great features in one of them future phone models. Until then, IMO Lumia 1020 is the best phone Nokia/Microsoft released. 41MP camera, xenon flash, glance and the one of the easiest phone models to replace the screen/display if it gets broken

Verizon Lumia Icon Denim update teased for possible February release

Fingers crossed
Verizon Lumia Icon owners are a passionate crowd and seemingly asking on a daily basis when the promised Lumia Denim update for their phones will be delivered. In late 2014 it was promised for "early 2015" but now we're into 2015 folks are getting itchy update fingers once again. Microsoft's Joe Belfiore is the target of a number of questions on the subject, and he's got a couple of things to say about it today.
"Lumia icon people asking what I meant by "early 2015": The first part of the year. In my mind that means jan/feb or so. Less likely March."
"Know that Vzw & MS are actively, daily working on getting it done. The test process has unpredictability so we can't say a firm end date"
Since January is done with that would suggest Microsoft and Verizon are aiming to push it out in February. But as with the second statement, it could easily slip due to circumstances beyond Microsoft's control. But it hasn't been forgotten about, at least.
Source: Verizon Lumia Icon Denim update teased for possible February release | Windows Central

I doubt it. JB's tweets were very, very vague and the very fact that he had to mention March means it's a lot more likely than not to be pushed past February.
I take this as a very bad sign for this phone. We've been hearing soon since September.

Very frustrated that Verizon has not release Windows 8.1 for the Lumia Icon. When will it be released? Early 2015 is not an acceptable answer.

As I'm certain many others who bought this phone are, I am increasingly irritated that Verizon has not released the Windows 8.1 update.
When will it be release? Early 2015 is not an acceptable answer.

"Early 2015" is the best answer you are going to get. I suggest that it is less stressful to accept what is rather than reject it. Taking the stance of "not acceptable" for something like this does nothing but disturb your peace of mind.
Really though, to me it is very good news in the sense that we now know we WILL eventually be getting 8.1, Cyan, and Denim. Verizon has made no official statement at all about this. Now we have Joe Belfiore specifically telling us MS is working with Verizon to get the update out and it will come for the ICON. Not as informative as we would like, but much better than what we had before!

Bluetooth Drivers for Lumia 520

Windows Vista can't find bluetooth drivers for Lumia 520. Where can I download these from?

File Transfer Protocol is not supported in Windows Phone. To my knowledge you can use OBEX to transfer files provided obviously both sides support this.

Firmware update 1308.0001 for lumia 620 rollout

i would like to know what the regional distribution order is for lumia firmware updates. I have a lumia 620 from hongkong and i live in australia. no update so far . and i make sure to check like twice a day
has anyone in australia or in any other region received the 1308.001, or the latest ones for the 820 and 920 that are supposed to come in the same rollout ? they have all been anounced mid-march.
an official statement about this would be great as well.

What was announced was that the now shipping (from manufacturing) devices have the new firmware and an OTA update would start at a future date. Since there have been no further announcements it would be safe to assume the OTA update has not started yet.
There is no need to 'check multiple times a day' you will get a notification on the phone when the update becomes available to you.

When will the Lumia Icon get the Denim Update?

The Denim Update will arrive for the Lumia Icon in early 2015. It just dropped today for Lumia 928 and Lumia 822: Verizon announces Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 to Lumia 928, Lumia 822 | Windows Central.
But, Microsoft said at IFA 2014 that the Lumia Denim would "first be available on our flagship phones...Lumia ICON": Microsoft Nokia Lumia Live Event Part 1 - Lumia Denim, Lumia 830 IFA 2014 - YouTube . Not happy. Check the youtube video out at the time 7:48.
So it appears that Lumia Cyan was skipped as some of us speculated in the forums.
Meanwhile, although you can only buy the Lumia 928 at Verizon, since Verizon discontinued (yanked off the shelves with disgust by iPhone and Android executives hehehe, jk) the Lumia ICON, you can still buy the Lumia ICON at the Microsoft store free with contract: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Verizon---Nokia-Lumia-Icon/productID.306508100
And just to add a little salt to the wounds the 930 on AT&T already has Lumia Cyan and it has the same exact hardware as the 929, accept for a few little number changes here and there due to GSM vs CDMA, but that doesn't take 4 months to figure out...: Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 rolls out for Nokia Lumia 930
At this point Verizon should just let Microsoft deliver firmware directly to Lumia ICON users, like Apple delivers firmware updates to iPhone users, without carrier approval since Verizon doesn't even sell the ICON anymore.
Very disappointed in Verizon and Microsoft.
I wonder if the preview for developers version will receive the Denim update on the ICON any sooner than "early 2015"...
Joe Belfore needs to "get on Deck" with reality; this is way to long to wait for a flagship phone.

OK, I stand corrected -- and I'm thrilled about that!! According to Lumia Conversations, Verizon will be rolling out Denim to those that missed Cyan:
"Here’s an early Christmas present to our U.S. readers: If you own a Lumia and you’re on the Verizon network, the newest Windows Phone 8.1 upgrade–the super-charged Lumia Denim–is coming to you soon.
Yes, that means you’ll skip over the previous update, Lumia Cyan, and go straight to Denim!
The roll-out for the Lumia 822 and Lumia 928 begins over the next few days and the Lumia Icon will follow in early 2015."
I'm not thrilled about us Icon owners being last in line and waiting until 2015, but it's better than waiting for a Cyan update that will never come.

Lumia Denim performacnce is not good as Cyan. I have lumia 925 and it is heating more after upgrade.
What OS giant??
I reset the phone but still it is worst.
It heats like a hell.
Lumia is like wired phone. very poor battery performance.
So many Apps are not able to start.
I was happy with Cyan. Denim is not so great as expected.

Camera Extras app for Lumia Windows Phone

Hi all,
You can use this QR code to get the Camera Extras app from Marketplace if it does not yet show up. Press the search button, then the scan icon (it looks like an eye) and point the camera at the screen. Or use your favourite QR scan app. Make sure you have the latest OS and firmware versions installed as these are required to use this app.
Hope this helps,
Kosh
