Will 8.1 Preview for Developers Void my Verizon Warranty?

Hello,
Im a Nokia Icon owner and would like to know if the 8.1 Preview for Developers will void the Verizon Warranty on my Device.

I find this post to be helpful if you're using windows phone. http://forums.wpcentral.com/windows-phone-8-1/279037-upgrading-windows-8-1-developer-preview-may-void-warranty.html
www.wpcentral.com is a great resource in general. It could void your warranty if you choose to put your phone in developer mode.

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.

This bit is interesting from the Windows Phone Blog in regards to this update.
Remember, while we are releasing Lumia Cyan for a large number of phones, there still may be some of you that are not offered the Cyan update, yet. However, as explained in the blog, we’ll continue to add more Lumia devices every couple of days over the coming weeks until we bring everyone up to the latest.

REPLACED PHONE, CAN'T GET UPDATES ON PREVIEW FOR DEVELOPERS

Hello,
I originally had a NOKIA 920 running Preview for Developers, but the screen cracked. I was sent a Lumia 1520 as a replacement. However, after running the setup and logging into my Microsoft Account, I did not see my Backups from ones running Preview for
Developers. My apps, phone history, and historical texts are all missing. I've manually downloaded the Preview for Developers app, to get the updates to try to get my old backups. However, after running 'Check For Updates', it is saying that my phone is up
to date. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Please Help. I really appreciate any feedback.
Thanks

Preview for Developers Windows 8.1

Hi guys i want to know the size of Windows 8.1 developer preview...?
can i install through mobile data...?

No, you must be on WiFi. Not sure about the size of the update. The first part is about 2MB as far as I know and will download over cellular but that will not do anything but set up the main update.
Click on the blue Star Icon below if my advice has helped you or press the 'Accept As Solution' link if I solved your problem..

I found a bug in Windows Phone 8.1, inside updates "preview for developers".

OS version: 8.10.14147.180
Talk about "Apps Corner".
This app will let me give people access to selected apps on my phone.
But, in ex-USSR communities there are most popular social network - VKontakte.
And there if user will be use official app for VK and he will be listen to the music and pause it. After that, user will switch on Apps Corner mode and will give this for another people for using, they may take full access to app VK's! By means of controller
of music there at top slide-down panel, if press on the song name.
It's very important.
I would like to get a small reward.
Thank you.

Congratulations

If that's the case then proceed at your own risk. While I'm not totally in favour of installing the update, unless you are a developer for Windows Phone, but anyway, the latest Nokia Software Recovery Tool now allows downgrading or reverting back to the current consumer release update.
Good luck

Aperture reprocesses previews for all videos every time I open it

Hello,
I use Aperture to organise all my videos shot on Canon 7d and an old HD Cam (705 vids, 381GB). Whereas my stills are stored in the aperture library, the videos are imported into eparate folders named after each project inside one master video folder.
I do this because it is an easy way to work with all of them in FCP (X), importing them without moving them, keywords from the folders coming across (and also because FCP used to incorrectly display the meta data- date and time imported shown as the file's creation details, when accessed via the aperture library menu from FCP, this bug has probably since been corrected)..
After restoring from a time machine back up recently, Aperture now reprocesses previews for all 705 movies every single time I open it, reboot or not. It doesn't hang on any particular file or crash but (as it's a mid 2010 MBP) simply slows Aperture down below useable for a few mins until they are done.
Post import processing set to camera previews, new projects always create previews ticked.
What am I doing wrong please? Should I attempt to fix the database?
Best
Ben

As a work-around - hold down the shift-key, when launching Aperture. That will defer the generation of Previews, so you can start working immediately.
What is your Aperture version and MacOS X version?
After restoring from a time machine back up recently, Aperture now reprocesses previews for all 705 movies every single time I open it, reboot or not.
Was Aperture the only thing you restored from a Time Machine backup? Or did you restore more of your system? If you reinstalled or upgraded the system, there may be now video codecs missing. In that case check, if reinstalling additional video codec (Perian, Flip-4-Mac, or similar) may help.
If the reinstalled aperrture library has been created on a different mac, there may be permission problems after restoring from Time Machine. Check the permissions and ownership on your video folders.
Are you touching the videos in any way, when using them in Final cut? Using stabilize or something? If the " last modiied " date is changed by Final Cut, this might prompt Aperture to recreate the preview.

My 3.4.5 has ~ 35000 jpg masters. I have set aperture not to create previews on import and have ensured "maintain previews" is not ticked. Every time I start aperture it insists on creating previews for ~ 4300 images. Why?

Having had the previews created I selected all photos and "delete previews". It did this quickly and no more previews being created. Once aperture is closed and then re-opened aperture immediately sets about creating the previews for the same photos. I don't understand why this should be happening.
This is occuring on my Mackbook Air (Aug 2012) which has 256 GB storage. I am fast running out of space as I am using "Managed Masters". I intend to make the masters referenced by relocating them to an external HDD but before doing this would like to clear up this problem first. I keep my Vault on the external HDD and have Time Machine and Time Capsule. When I have relocated the masters to the external HDD I intend that TM backs the external HDD to the TC. I tink that I will use the second partition on the external HDD for Carbon Copy Cloner to back up the Mackbook Air.
Any help or advice warmly welcomed.

Frank
Many thanks for your input.
Following your advice I have selected all the projects individually and checked the status of Mantain Previews. Some were indeed marked up for Mantail Preview so I have unmarked them.
I have also selected Photos and deleted previews and also repeated this for My Projects.
Checking the Get Info for the Preview folder in Aperture Library in Finder this now tells me that I have zero bytes for 564 items.
Close and then reopen Aperture and it regenerates these564 previews in the blink of an eye. I haven't been able to locate these photos yet. I know there are about 120 in facebook and 10 in photostream but dont know where the rest are.
It seems the issue is not with Aperture but with myself and not understanding Aperture sufficiently well
Do you see the problem this way?

I had the developer preview for IOS 6 on my phone, and just got a message telling me that my operating system is no longer active. How do I get my phone activated again?

I had the developer preview for IOS 6 on my phone, and just got a message telling me that my operating system is no longer active. How do I get my phone activated again?
I had the developer preview installed. Never had to update to the release version of the OS. Now, the preview has expired, and I cannot use my phone because my iTunes reads my OS as being current, but my iPhone cannot active. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

If I Google for Michael Superczynski, first match tells "Michael Superczynski's Profile : Apple Support Communities". It in fact does a lot of work there even if not paid.
And yes we do not have disagreement about "official apple developers". Problem is that Apple screwed our devices because we are "official apple developers" and did effort to stop us getting proper help. I unbricked my ipad and iphone thanks to unofficial help. Thank you who wrote this unofficial help and "no thanks" for apple for ruining my access to my devices. My mistake was assuming that "update" button on my devices works. It did not because it always told "Your device has latest IOS6 installed" until it bricked yesterday.
If Apple does not want to listen us, continue do delete post, blame us installing your software and yes we stop buying your devices and developing for them.
