This is great man!
Is it official update?

Can you elaborate about the GPS ?
Potential new user so I'd like to know.

Example when you use nokia drive app, when you off the screen the gps will lose it connection. After you turn on back the screen it will reconnect. Because of that we cannot hear voice navigation when off the screen, need to always on. But if on in long run, I scared it will burn the screen

This is bad. Isn't the GPS suppose to work hands free ? If we are driving and the screen time out then it will basically make the gps unusable. Any work around ?

the screen time will not out when using the gps app

No time out when using Nokia drive, what I mean is, if I off the screen, it will lose connection with gps, hence cannot hear voice navigation.

Let say I need to drive straight next 25km, I don't want to keep my screen on because that will drain much battery and I scared it will leave burn mark on screen. But if I off screen, the app will not functioning.

Like my previous xperia phone, when I turn off the screen, it will still stay connected to gps and give voice navigation

OK, now i get it

Enjoy your lumia bro

if it possible to use nodo trick?

if the lumia 800 is alrd unlocked, once it updated using the method above, will it lock back the lumia 800?

What is that?
