When will the Nokia Lumia 928 have the 8.1/Cyan upgrades?

It's been 4 or 5 months since Nokia/Microsoft announced 8.1 with Cortana. Does anyone expect Verizon to actually have the 8.1/Cyan upgrades to the 928? Verizon, do you hear me now?

Verizon does not hear you now, and they haven't heard anyone who has been angrily complaining for the past few months.
At this point I certainly do not expect Verizon to release the 8.1 Cyan update nor the Denim update. Verizon has made it clear by their inaction that they are not going to support Windows Phone or their current customers who own Windows Phones.
To make matters worse, Verizon refuses to make any announcement whatsoever regarding the 8.1 update. They won't announce why it's delayed, what issues Verizon has with the 8.1 update, or even a possible target date. In essence, Verizon is behaving as though the update doesn't even exist, despite the fact that every other carrier has released it.
I have to assume that Verizon will behave similarly in the future as far as Windows Phone or any Microsoft product is concerned. If they are handling the Cyan update this poorly then they will certainly do the same thing with Denim, and of course Windows [Phone] 10.
My wife and I both have 928s and love them. We currently have the Developer Preview installed, which gives us 8.1 but not the firmware update - that has to come from Verizon for some mysterious reason. I have decided to move to AT&T after the first of next year if Verizon does not release the update by then; as I said, I do not expect them to. Unfortunately, my wife has her phone through work so she is stuck with Verizon, and she is furious about that fact.

    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.

    I have a Nokia Lumia 928 and the ##634# brings up the lifetime counter and color variant page not a diagnostic tool for the light sensor.

    Those diagnostics have been removed from latest WP7.x updates and are not available on WP 8.x either.

  • Nokia lumia 928 sms call back number

    My wife and I both upgraded to the Nokia Lumia 928. since we have, our text messages to each other are followed by "call back at" and then it gives the phone number of the person calling.  Called verizon tech support and they said that it is a feature that is sent from the "nokia" phone with your text message and that there is currently no way to dissable it from the sending "nokia" phone. Has anyone figured out how to get this to stop?

    I concur with rayhipkiss. The only way I can call back the sender of a text message I've received is to tap on the name or number of the sender when viewing the text message. This is using an unbranded UK-CV Lumia 1020 and an operator branded Lumia 920.
    I'd guess that that it is indeed something that your operator has added to their custom variant of the 928.
    Do you see this "call back on" after messages sent to you by someone on other networks, and to they see it on messages that you send them?

  • A few questions about the Nokia Lumia 810 for T-Mo...

    I recently upgraded from the Nokia E73 Mode to the Nokia Lumia 810, my first ever "smart phone" and I'm already having problems which I hope can be clarified in this forum/thread.
    1. Supposedly this phone supports USB "drag & drop", but it doesn't seem to fully work for me. An example, with my previous phone I connected via USB cable and dragged computer files (Audio, Video, and Images) from my computer to the memory card of my phone. I can do this with this phone, but only somewhat. Once it's been "copied" to the SD card, I can't really edit the file from there. If I try renaming a music file for example, the window freezes saying "Program Not Responding". If I try to delete the file, it doesn't delete it either. Another big issue is once it's in my Nokia Lumia's SD card and I right-click it from my PC to edit an image with Photoshop, I can't do it. There's no "Open With..." feature. The same with audio files, I can't open with anything other than Windows Media Player, which I don't use. So does this phone really support "drag & drop" or is this just false advertising?
    2. How does one change the message tone? If a so-called "inferior" phone like the Nokia E73 Mode could do it, easily, why can't the superior Windows 8 smart phone do it? The same with an actual ringtone. How does one change it?
    I actually do love this phone, but the whole lack of file manager and it's inability to "drag & drop" files for me disappoints.

    Welcome to the forum.
    the drag m drop is working according to your post. Drag n drop doesn't include altering or editing files directly on the device.
    coming from Symbian, I understand your dilemmas here.
    best to take the file off the device by drag n drop from the device to the PC and then alter it and then drag b drop it back to your device.
    as for the memory card, I have always found it faster to write directly to a card from the PC with an adapter rather then going through the device hardware.
    with wp8, you can only use custom ring tones with what you drag into the ringtones folder when connected.
    I would recommend changing the file genre to ringtone too
    as for the messaging and email sounds currently you are limited to the sounds that available in the device. Not even the custom tones will show.
    hope that helps

  • Is the Nokia Lumia 822 buggy?

    So I am in search of a new phone because I am overdue for an upgrade and my phone is not being reliable. I would care less about being able to upgrade as long as my phone works but that's not the case right now.
    I been through a Droid 2, which I was dissatisfied with battery life, often crashes and long restart time. Anyways I cracked the screen multiple times and now it's put away. A friend sold me his Samsung Fascinate (Galaxy S1) and I was also dissatisfied with battery performance, crashes, and reboots. The worse is loosing contacts and application information. I gave up on setting up my emails because it has failed on me so many times and what really **** me off was loosing contacts.
    Anyways I read a few reviews of the Nokia Lumia having trouble receiving text msg is this true ? Was this true, does it still happen ?
    Help me out guys, I want a reliable phone.
    My top priorities
    - Battery Life
    - Stable
    - Price
    - I heard that they have good cameras does this model have a good camera also if so it would be a huge plus.

    My wife currently has the Nokia Lumia 822.  She has the white version of it.  She never said that she would get used to the virtual keyboard on a smartphone (she tried using my HTC Trophy) but she loves the phone!  As far as buggy, she hasn't been having any of the problems that have been reported on the forums.  She has only had it freeze once, but I assume that it will be fixed once the Portico update is pushed out around MWC 2013.  She has had the phone for over a month.
    She can receive group messages just fine.  She can get around a day and a half out of the battery.  It's a great phone.  You might have some minor issues, but like I said, she hasn't had those issues and it will be fixed once we get the Portico update.
    I can say that you would be satisfied with the Lumia 822.  It's a great phone.

  • My Macbook will not boot the operating system.  It just goes to a blue screen after the apple logo and the spinning wheel goes off.  I took the battery out and held the on/off button for five seconds and reset the PRAM.  I have the old mac os disk.

    My macbook will not boot.  It goes to a blue screen after the logo and wheel goes off.  I have taken the battery out and held the on/off button for five seconds and reset the PRAM.  I have the the original os disk but have not put it in for fear of losing un backed op data.
    Thanks

    You won't lose any data unless you erase your hard drive.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c"key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it.When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've selected the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.

    Then don't use the repair program unless you are actually having an issue.
