Lumia Amber Update 928 Glance

I recently updated to the Amber Update on my 928 I got the glance feature and double tap to wake and loved it I factory reset my phone and signed back in and started fresh but the glance function was gone now it says STANDBY same function to an extent but no double tap feature or peek functionality I have no idea where glance went or how to get it back also the interface changed on the screen settings now its a drop down menu with vivid natural and etc. Where as before it was a slider is anyone else having this issue if so help me get back to my original Amber settings.

I had the same issue. When you factory reset, the Nokia software goes back to the original, however the firmware does not. I am guessing that the firmware is what is checked when you hit "Check for Updates" and therefor your phone (or their OTA update service) thinks it is up to date. I ended up going into Verizon and they first tried switching out the SIM Card which did not work. Since I picked up this phone less than 2 weeks ago, they gave me a new one. Unfortunately it looks like unless you can get a new phone, you may have to wait for a fix for how they check for updates from either Nokia, Microsoft, or both...
I would love to hear if anyone else has found a solution to this...
Best of Luck,
Tim

Downloading Lumia Amber Update

I recently had to do a hard reset on my Nokia Lumia 928, and thus lost all of Nokia's updates as of June 1st, 2013, which also includes the Lumia Amber update. It says in settings>phone update that I'm up to date, but I know that I most certainly am not up to date.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Isn't it showing 'Lumia Amber' under settings-->extras+info ?
If you are missing the features of Amber then install THIS application and thru' it update all the System Applications. Then check again ..

Nokia LUMIA AMBER update release dates????

I'm dying for lumia amber update for my 820.Microsoft release its GDR 2 update.but i can't download it to my phone,,coz nokia did't launch it.please hurry n release the AMBER UPDATE as soon as possible.I'm really curious about it.PLEASE RELEASE IT ASAP

The Amber Update was available TODAY for any WP8 phone but once NOKIA got wind of it they shut it down fast. They will leave us 810 owners in the dust EVEN thought those who downloaded the newest version on their 810's
HAVE NO issues whatsoever. NOKIA wants it to be exclusive to just few models and not all WP8's
And that's too bad 810 owners buy a Lumia 810 and 5 months later NOKIA won't provide updates. Nice.

AT&T and Lumia Amber Update DELAYS and delivery ti...

1) AT&T customers who are also Lumia owners now know that AT&T missed the Nokia deadline for all Lumia phones receiving the Amber update by 9/30/2013.
2) Here is an AT&T Facebook session I had with Nicole L. yesterday. You will note their (AT&T's) best answer is we affirmatively will receive the update in a few weeks:
My post - "AT&T Decision Makers (particularly in AT&T Mobility),
Several hours ago we passed 9/30/2013. Over a month ago the Nokia Corporation published a statement (see http://conversations.nokia.com/2013/08/30/lumia-amber-your-questions-answered/ ) that Amber updates would roll-out world-wide by 9/30/2013.
Along the past month, queries to customer care reps and social media "managers" about the release date of Amber (and GDR2) were routinely met with condescending replies that we're (AT&T) working as quickly as possible, please be patient, stay tuned, updates can be challenging to implement properly, and so on.
Now, several thousand Lumia owners who are AT&T customers are left to ask two questions. The first requires only an affirmative or negative response, the second an actual calendar date.
1) Are Nokia Lumia owners who are AT&T customers going to receive via OTA the Amber (Pr2) and GDR2 updates?
2) If #1 is answered in the affirmative, then what exactly is the AT&T deadline for OTA availability? If answered in the negative, exactly why are your customers not going to receive a manufacturer certified equipment update?
Thank you for your prompt and concise reply."
AT&T's reply: "AT&T Affirmative, Michael. Our best answer is a few weeks. It's been a long road, but I hope you'll be happy with the update when it gets to your device. Thanks for your patience! - Nicole L. "
In a conversation I had with AT&T Customer Care rep "LaTonya", she was unable to confirm a timeframe. I made mention of the fact that when Apple sneezes AT&T gets a cold; however when Nokia speaks AT&T yawns. LaTonya enjoyed my observation.
Is there a way to press Nokia USA corporate into advocacy on our behalf?
Thanks!

Actually what it said was:
With Lumia Amber we expect to have the update arriving in all Lumia Windows Phone 8 phones by the end of September. Be patient – it’s coming!
So there is no deadline like you claim and Nokia would never make such claims. That said, you bought an ATT device made by Nokia and as such ATT is the company ultimately responsible for this. It is up to them to approve the update and allow it to be made available to their product(range).

Lumia Amber update for 820

Currently I am using Nokia Lumia 820(in India). I have purchased it from Singapore. My friends purchased it from India itself, they have upgraded mobile to Amber Update. But I Tried many times to find Amber Update on my Lumia 820. It shows "Your phone is up to date". Can somebody help me to get Amber Update on my phone? In settings my mobile shows manufactured in Israel. Please help me...

Availability doesn't depend on where you are located but what Variant the phone has.. Go to settings-->about-->carrier ...and then based on what you have, search HERE which gives you the latest update availability status ..There is nothing else that you can do but to wait and keep checking ...

Lumia amber update

I am in India and i haven't received the amber update till yet. Why??

Having just checked the status page provided by Farby (Carman58's doesn't link to the correct page) all of the lumia phones listed under India are country variant phones with the 520 still awaiting approval and the 720 marked as "Coming soon". The rest have been approved and should be available for download.
Farby also pointed out that the update is dependent upon the region the phone was actually intended for and not the country it is currently being used in. So if you imported your phone from another country (such as the USA) then you will need to wait for the update to be approved for that region. And if it was obtained from a network in another country (such as AT&T in the US) then you will need to await approval from AT&T before the update is made available.
For the full Global release schedule you can visit the following URL and select your phones region from the list to the left of the page.
http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/wp8-software-update/
Also, as per my original reply, you still have until the end of September until the update will be made available to the rest of the Lumia range so hang in there and it won't be too long now.

Lumia Amber Update (Greece)

I'm a 720 user. I'm so dissapointed because its Oct 1 and here in Greece Amber update is ready for almost all lumia models except lumia 720 with Country variant. Nokia promised that amber will be ready until end of sep. What's goin on?

Searching the Forum before posting your query would have answered that .. Nokia hasn't announced any dates for the release, though it should be soon enough start rolling. It may be little longer wait for all the devices to get the update depending upon the Region or Network if they are locked with ....so you need to wait and keep checking. There is NO other way to update your device unless your device shows the availability ..

Lumia Amber Update Error

I have a Lumia 820 and updated the firmware to the Amber update yesterday, about half of the new features aren't on there and it has removed some features that were on there before. Most noticably the double tap to wake. I've tried rebooting and it still comes up with the same firmware number (8.0.10328.78). Checking for software updates says it is up to date too. How can I reinstall the Amber update?? Thanks.

Go to Setings> screen + touch > select touch... than tick the box on Double tap to wake
If you still need to reinstall Amber, do a hard reset to your phone... Setings > About > reset your phone

Hi,I recently hard reset my phone , And I am having problem checking update in my phone it says error code : ******** . I have successfully updated my phone before I have hard reset it . Do you have a solution for this ?

When was the last time you update your device?
Can you provide us the error code? If it is found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2793339, suggest to check and do the corresponding solution provided on the link as well.
As this works for some, try to enable and then disable the airplane mode under Settings. After this, manually check for the update again.

Problem with my Lumia 928... started after Amber update.

First, I to state that I love my Lumia 928 and the Windows Phone 8 OS. Second, I've been a Third-Party Microsoft developer for over 14 years and just started developing for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. So, I'm not a normal consumer but one that will try everything in my toolbox before asking for help or even writing posts like this.
History:
As of October 6, 2013, Verizon is sending me a new phone (not guaranteed to be new. ) to see if that fixes the issue
Used for work and personal emails so I can't just go and do a "hard" reset without have extreme headaches.Last resort before I get my "new" phone, I've broken down and started doing a "hard" reset (actually this is my second time).
No damage to the phone (Verizon employee has confirmed these, hence the new replacement)
No cracked screen
No frame cracked
No water damage
Shortly after the Amber update, I started having problems. In order of oldest issue first.
Lock upsRandom apps just freeze. No rhyme or reason. No pattern. Just all over the board.
No touch responseSide buttons work but that does be no good when I can't select anything on the screen. Solution, "soft" reset and things are good... for a while.
Phone call speakerStarted losing phone calls. Thought it was a signal issue until I noticed that the call were not actually dropped. Speaker just started cutting in and out (completely) and sometimes it would just dim to almost nothing and then come back.
Microsoft account
This is new as of October 5, 2013
October 4, 2013, nothing was wrong. Then the next day, my Live account associated with my phone stopped working. Keeps saying "Not up to-date". Had to create another account to get my emails. As of today, it's still not working. Unfortunately, I didn't write down the error code so I can't post that here.
Is anyone else experiencing these issues after the Amber update and if so, what did you do to resolve it (if you did)?
Thanks,
Stu

The Amber update came to our Lumia 928 and we had just activated it like one or two weeks prior, so we were just getting to know the phone. In answer to your difficulties following the Amber update:

Speaker just started cutting in and out (completely) and sometimes it would just dim to almost nothing and then come back. I've had this happen on a couple of calls - the caller becomes very garbled and static filled. I've had to hang upand call back - and they say the same thing happens on their end, my voice is all garbled, like I'm underwater or something. Not all calls, and not frequently, but maybe once every couple of weeks.

My screen is cracked due to a drop, prior to the Amber update. (Yeah, it was nearly brand new when I dropped it ) That doesn't seem to affect the overall function of the phone though.
So, to sum, I am experiencing some of the issues you described, but I'm not sure it's Amber, maybe just the phone design itself. I don't know that a "new" phone will resolve things either. Please do keep us posted...
