South Africa Lumia 920 MTN Portico update

When will the MTN Portico update be release in South Africa?
Vodacom South Africa has already received their update on the 21/01/2013.

Hi, I have a question which is a follow up on this first one. I bought my Lumia 920 in South Africa on December 14, unbranded and Sim free but for the MTN network. I am no longer in South Africa and can use the Sim for the network of my choice, Although the phone tile says "Home Network" instead of the carrier name. I checked for the Portico update and couldn;t find it until this Sunday Evenning when I received a message that it can now be downloaded.
I held off on downloading it however, because a friend of mine recently updated his Lumia 610, - bought in one country, unbranded and sim free, works with the same carrier i use - after the reboot he was asked for the carrier unlock code which he didn;t have or know.
My question is, will the same thing happen for me, or do I have to get in touch with MTN first? (won't be in South Africa for at least another month because of my work).
Thanks in advance to anyone who will consider my question.

  • Please help, LUMIA 920 won't update.

    Hello
    First let me say that I've had my NL0920 for six months and love it, but I am really frustrated that even 5 months after Amber came out my phone won't update and even fails updating when I try using other methods that have been discussed here.  Please help, this is really frustrating because I don't have any of the Amber goodness and at this rate I know I will also miss the Black update.  Even though I love my 920 I fully expected it would be updated fairly constantly as that was one of the main things that were easy to see from the press about Nokia.
    I have a Nokia Lumia 920 type RM-821, white (RM-821_lta_lta1_546)
    product code 059S1L6,
    configuration ID 153556,
    Label ID 1232.5957.9200.10211.142,
    Application Version 3.3.32
    Mobile Operator 000-PR
    Accesories Agent 2.6.2.1
    Feedback to Nokia 2.5.0.17
    Firmware Update Notifier 1.0.1.7
    Nokia Share 2.1.2.3
    Silent Installer 1.4.1.2
    SIM Unlock 1.0.0.5
    Software Version 1232.5957.1308.0002
    The phone is an unlocked Puerto Rican Country variant and is being used in Panama Central America with the Claro Operator.  According to the Global Availability page (http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-updat​e/wp8-software-update/) the Country variant should already have the amber update available.
    When I try checking for phone updates through the Settings menu, it tells me that my phone is up to date, which is obviously not true.  
    Please help.  I love this phone but if it won't upgrade then I am going to have to start looking at something else, because I really hoped I would get the new camera improvements, and the same with the black update.

  • Request for information regarding the Lumia Denim and WP 8.1 Update 1 for Lumia 920

    When can those of us with the Lumia 920 get the Lumia Denim update and the Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 Update for our phones? And does AT&T have a time fram for getting us Lumia 920 owners the update or are we not going to get this update until Windows Phone 10 comes out?

    the phone is almost 3 years old they may not update it..  But then again there are suprise around every corner sometimes.  People with the 830 are waiting for an update also.When the update came out the phone was about two years old.  Now we expect GDR2. On the Microsoft update page there are seven AT&T Lumia phones. There would be eight but the 830 is no longer listed. Did AT&T have it removed ? Only three of these phones have the Denim update available, that is 37.5%.  Is AT&T even trying, I don't think so.  The same models of phones all over the world have been updated. Now WP10 is coming up. Microsoft says they will update WP10 directly, no carrier in the middle and they say it will be available to all phones and only phones running Lumia Denim, OS version 8.10.14219.341 or higher can be upgraded.  So, the phone has to have at least Denim before you can update.Will Windows 10 update be available for my Lumia phone? We bought two 920's from AT&T in 2012. Wife is still using hers and I replaced mine with a 1520.3 last year. It has Qi wireless charging and 32GB memory, not the AT&T version. We no longer have a contract and never will, using 'bring your own phone'.The other 62.5% of the Lumia phone users with AT&T probably feel the same way.  

  • Black update to lumia 920

    i just updated the blakc update to my lumia 920 and after updating i lost the ability to check the box of " tell me when updates are available for my phone" and the store doesnt show me applications that can be updated anymore !! any ideas how i can get this back??

    Yes it is removed, few updates takes some time to show it on the store live tile. Just remove the store tile and pin it again.

  • Nokia Lumia 920 Home button not working

    I was using my phone as usual and suddenly the home button stopped working.  I was on Facebook, wanted to go to the start screen because I had just received a text message and I realized the home button was completely unresponsive.  I tried a soft and hard reset and it still doesn't work.  The button lights up as it's supposed to.  The phone hasn't been dropped or has received any major (or minor, in that case) damage.  

    Hello, marurokz. Are the other capacitive buttons (Search & Back) of your Lumia 920 working fine? Do you have any screen protector covering the Start button of your phone? If yes, try removing that portion for a while and see if it'll work. BTW, is your phone's SW updated? Check it by going to Settings > phone update. Keeping your Lumia 920's SW updated helps assure that all of its features are fully functional.
    We'll wait for your response. BTW, welcome to the Microsoft Mobile Community! 

  • Lumia 920 restart

    On my daily ½ hour commute to work, my Lumia 920 often restart. Sometime there are no problem, and sometime it restarts it self 3-4 times on the short trip.
    On a normal week I would say that it restart at least once on three out of five days.
    Yesterday it restarted once on the way to work, and three times on the way back.
     The phone never restarts when I'm at work or at home. Only when I'm driving.
    I have WIFI, 3G and Bluetooth enabled, though WIFI is not connected. 4G is disabled.
    The Lumia 920 is connected to my Jabra Freeway via bluetooth.
    I'm running version 1232.5951.1249.1002.

    wrong fix: reset your phone. That's the worst solution for me, you would lose basically most of your data
    temporary fix: force edge (2G). It should not reboot any longer.
    real fix: update your software
    I updated more than a month ago and all went fine, I am in 3G since and have not experienced a single reboot. I think you can force the update to your current version if you find 'force update wifi zune' on google, that works pretty well too.
    good luck
    Good advice in general, except Zune does not work with WP8 handsets like the Lumia 920 where all updates are done only OTA, plus the OP already has the latest available firmware on their handset.

  • Lumia 920 freezing when connecting to bluetooth he...

    First at all, I'm pretty sure it's bluetooth connection problem because I tried to plug in a wired earphone, it works 100% properly.It's an annoying issue for me everyday as I use to listen music, video without WIRE. 
    Back to topic, when I connect my Lumia 920 (no portico yet) to my bluetooth (Nokia BH-221) headset, I cannot properly forward or backword my songs either through my phone and my bluetooh (freezing status). Besides , my songs will stop automatically once a song finished. I have to manually pause-and-start to re-activate the music player. When that song finished, I have to do "pause-and-start" again.  Does anyone come across the same issue? Any solution?
    I think there is no such compatbility problem because the bluetooth is produced by Nokia. my Nokia headset  works perfectly either because it works flawlessly with non-WP powered devices. 

    Hi mate, thanks for your reply. I did pretty much soft reset enough as sometimes my phone was just freezing (recently it's mainly exactly caused by the obnoxious bluetooth connection issue). But I haven't tried a hard reset yet. I will give it a shot tonight or tomorrow. By the way, I heard a hard reset will take a couple of hours for processing, is that true? (Someone reported his phone is processing the hard reset by 5hrs). 
    I had reported my case to local Nokia Care team. They initially called me back after two days, asked me a few questions and then they claimed they have to do some tests. Thus, I still do not have a solution. 
    Another odd but minor issue, when I play my song with Nokia Music (if Wifi is on), song art (provided by nokia music)will come out in the background. But if I am under a connection of 3G, H+, Lte, the song art is gone. I read all possible settings but still no luck. I don't see a relevant setting to make song art able even under 3G, H+, Lte.

  • Portico Update for Lumia 920 in SIngapore

    My Lumia 920 does not detect the Portico Update that is said to be released.
    When will it be available in SIngapore?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Shortly after I replied to you today a Nokia employee made this comment about the update:
    http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Software-Updates/Information-for-customers-with-Nokia-Lumia-820-and-...
    It could either be good or bad news for many depending on how the roll-out goes.

  • Lumia 920 Updates for Middle East

    I have Lumia 920 and I live in Oman. Windows Phone 8 website says the latest released updates ver is 8.0.10211.204. While my phone showing 8.0.9903.10. When latest updates will be available for this region ? Anyone ? Also when all the paid Apps will be available for this region too ?

    hi mate,
    i think i answered your question a few minutes ago regarding paid apps. Again, this has nothing to do with Nokia but everything to do with Microsoft so you will need to contact them.
    As for the Portico update, Nokia has stated officially that the roll-out has begun, and is anticipated to be completed by mid-March. Sit tight and the update will arrive, your phone will automatically notify you when it is available.

  • 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

  • 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.
