Lumia 920 and updating to Windows 8.1

Greetings, WIndows phone holders.
As the title implies, I have a 920 that I would like to update. I bought my phone outright and do a $25 per month plan through AT&T which does NOT include data, however I am perpetually connected to wi-fi. I am curious (though skeptical) if this might be contributing to the problem I have.
I am currently running 8.0, Lumia Black. When I check for an update, it keeps telling me there's no software update available. Is this true? Not even Cyan? With the advent of Cortana, I started searching for videos of 920s with 8.1 installed. It looks great, and I'd love to get this installed. Is there any reason I can't get this? Is there a plan for 8.1 to come out for AT&T 920s?
Thanks for any information.

Hi!
I´m using my Lumia 920 in Sweden on operator Halebop. I have opted in to the Windows Phone Developer program so I already have tested theese wonderful improvements.
It is rolling out right now so I searched via the update function under settings but nothing there.
Then I connected to the Nokia Recovery tool and there I have the option to update my device.
The fact that it shows up there may be that the developer version installed hav to be written over by the recovery tool.
Regards Matti

Can I download music on both my Lumia 920 and my P...

I have got a new Lumia 920 and have a Nokia Music Unlimited subscription on it. It runs just fine and I am loving it. I am sure its one of the best yet under-marketed feature for Lumia phones.
I had a question. Can I use my unlimited subscription to download songs on my PC as well (using Nokia Music Player). I know I can simply transfer but too lazy!
When I try to sign in from the application, it gives me an option to add the PC as a registered PC. I wanted to be sure if doing that won't impact downloads on my Lumia in any way.
Thanks

Turns out you can!
you can use your subscription on 1 mobile and 1 PC

Lumia 920 and Netflix

On my current phone, Samsung Nexus, I've noticed improved quality on Netflix movies. Has anyone viewed Netflix on the Lumia 920 and noticed the support of Netflix in HD?

Not sure you'll get much of an answer to this till the 920 is available

i have reset lumia 920 and now i don't see Here Drive to download. Say error 805a0194.
I have change and region but nothing. Maybe Nokia removing for some reason? Or the problem is my Lumia 920?

Certainly doesn't seem to be a problem with your Nokia Lumia 920 as this is also faced by other users as in THIS thread. May be something wrong with the Store or the Servers.. Wait for some time and check again ...

Problems in updating Lumia 920 and installing apps

Hi,
I have had problems with the new (approx. 1 month old) Lumia 920. In the beginning (bout 2 weeks) everything worked fine. Then started synchronization problems with MS account. I was some how able to fix these problems, even they renewed. I thought that the Black update would fix the problems, but the phone did not istalled the update. It started to download the update, but after dowloading 20-50 % of the update the download crashed with some error code. I also had problems to install some apps. App was downloaded to the phone, but duringthe installation the process crashed and reported some error. After one week of trying different kinds of tricks to get the update and installation of apps working I decided to reset the phone to original setting i.e. hard reset. The reset cycle went through fine. i was able to set the MS account and synchronization was working, got e-mail and contacts to the phone. Still the update does not work and now I can not install any apps to the phone. There are over 20 updates waiting, but always the result is the same. App is downloaded to the phone, but during installation the process crashes. I have tried different connections WiFi and mobile data and done the soft reset every now and then. Is there still something I can do myself to try the fix the problem or should I just take the phone to the Nokia Care.

Bro
I would recommend you to check your device thoroughly by Nokia Care Technical team or get it replaced because the problems you have described, unluckily it is a defective device.

Lumia 920, Black update, and Internet sharing not ...

I have a pair of Lumia 920s, both the developer edition given out at Microsoft Build 2012. Both updated to Lumia Black/gddr3 yesterday without any issues, both running on AT&T.
however, on one of them, the Internet Sharing no longer works, while on the other, it still works fine. I have swapped sim cards, and the problem stays with the one specific phone, and is not tied to the line.
I have reset and wiped the phone, and tried to reconfigure it (including reinstalling the spanish/mexico keyboard, which has solved this problem in the past).
I have checked access point configuration, and both match. Both are running on LTE. I'm at a loss how to get it working again, as I've been through everything that I know of to make it work.
Any thoughts?

I have the same problem only on mobile. Keeps asking to upgrade. Its like the phone doesn't know I have this service. Or the tmo,servers do not know that my account has paid for this. Funny part is,the customer services people say they can see I,have this feature on my acct. Pls jeep me,posted if you get a fix for this

AT&T Lumia 920 and 8.1 update 1 with Denum

What features if any will be included in the 8.1 update 1 with denum for the AT&T Lumia 920?
And will their be any possiblity of new features?
Stephen J. Mayer

Most of the imaging features brought by Denim require the lates chipset so they won't apply. The OS based features you will have (folder, VPN and others)

Poor Reception on Nokia Lumia 525 after updating from Windows 8.0 to 8.1

Hi, I am using Vodafone India and I am facing some issues with network connectivity. Infact in areas of low signal availability( relatively low signal availability- 4 points and 2g is available) the phones network bar switches off and then it freezez to 1 point(some times stays as zero bars of coverage). Also there is problems with calls being dropped and network browsing issues. Even if I move to an area with good signal still it shows only 1 point. I have to turn on flight mode and again return to normal mode to get connectivity.I replaced my sim twice but still the problem exists. So I tried using a different sim in my phone and then also problem persists. I also tried my sim on a different set(Lumia 520) and it was showing full network coverage(Where as it shows 0 or 1 bars in my phone).I went to Microsoft service centre and they did a reset and said issue was software related. But again when I moved to low coverage area same issue started again . Also from what I remember, this problem started after I update my mobile from windows 8.0 to 8.1

If the MS service have done a firmware reinstall and you still have the problem then it is not a software fault. Take it back and insist they check the antennas connections.

Lumia 920 Software Update problems

I have a Nokia Lumia 920 on Orange in UK.
I installed the software update provided by Nokia last weekend - 02/02/2013. Since then I have only experienced issues.
Since the update my signal has been intermittant. For every 10 seconds i have signal, I go 30 minutes without. A no entry sign appears over the signal. I have checked with Orange and run numerous diagnostics over the phone and in store with Orange, the coverage from the netwrok is fine.
Tried a soft and hard reset with no improvement!! The hard reset almost stopped the phone working completely, getting stuck on the gears rotating for 5 hours.
Any ideas? Seems to have been caused by the software update!? Phone also completely blacked out and required soft restart to begin yesterday.
I want a normal phone back, nothing but problems with this 920, especially since the update?
How can i get a clear signal again, and off this forum to catch some much needed daylight!

Lumia 920 and Swype

For the last two years I have been using Samsung Galaxy Tab as my daily smartphone. I use it for everything including typing long mails. I can do that easily because I use Swype.
For the first time I consider to buy a Nokia. It is because of the Lumia 920 with its Windows Phone 8, NFC, Camera, wireless charging etc.
BUT - I will miss my Swype. Are there any consideration about implementing Swype - like Nokia have done on other platforms ?
Best regards
Haimin

3rd party keyboards including Swype are currently not allowed with WP. There have been no announcements regarding this so we don't know if there are plans to implement this. Nokia and MS don't usually divulge such information and we will all hear about ir when they decide to publically announce it.

how can this be a mainstream product if so unstable?
can it just be this unit?
or is the 920 already an "old" phone?

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
I'm using both Skype for Windows Phone and Skype Qik on a Lumia 920 as well and do not face any stability issues.
Is there a certain action that you perform prior the app crashing?

Lumia 920 application updates

i have Nokia Lumia 920, the store used to have notifications about updating any of the applications i installed before, after doing a hard reset, the store somehow lost this option ! and i have check each application separatly in the store for updates which is so annoying ! anybody knows how i can restore this option again??

Since I upgraded to Amber September 9th I have the same problem; I don't get any indication of available updates of my apps, except for one time (and then it was a lot of apps).
Before Amber there were updates almost every second day.
Yesterday I went through all my apps manually (searching for them in the store and updating the ones that had updates available).
So there is nothing else can do?

X240 Windows 8 RapidBoot HDD Accelerator and update to Windows 8.1

Hi All,
Just bought an x240 (20AL008JUS) and I am having significant problems getting this system to update. This system comes with Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.
Why is RapidBoot HDD Accelerator on this system? From everything I read there is no such thing as RapidBoot by Lenovo for Windows 8. This looks to be a Windows 7 only utility.
Is there some secret sequence necessary to get this system updated to Windows 8.1? I have tried many sequences so far each followed by a full Windows restore (full format, not just refresh), this is the latest:
(BIOS already updated on earlier attempt.)
1. Remove Pokki Start Menu and App Store
2. Remove RapidBoot HDD Accelerator
3. Remove Norton and run from the internet "Norton Removal Tool"
4. Shutdown and Power on
5. Enable Windows Defender, update Windows Defender
6. Run Lenovo System Updates - update all except SharIt and Password Manager
7. Shutdown and Power on
8. Allow Windows to install updates via "Update and Restart"
9. Run Windows 8.1 upgrade from Microsoft App Store
Typically the system dies somewhere in this group of steps. I don't know why. I have finally received restore CDs, although they are marked as for 20AJ systems (x240s), and I'm not sure why. It looks like the restore has finally completed. Before I continue trying to update, can anyone point out anything better that should be done?
Also, anyone know the difference between running restore from CDs vs using Windows' restore functionality?
Thanks,
Nachum

Hi,
Firstly I don't know how this is going to work on new machine because the Windows 8 lisence would NOT work at all.
Regards.
