Maybe still usable but no more further improvement eh ?

Then how we access multi-task?
Right now we access multi-task by long pressing the back button.
Long press windows button will bring out voice control.

Dun tell me double tap ?

Just looking at some forums and got some info about it. Some of it is here:

Notification Center

In the suddenly long tradition of “Windows Phone would be great if only it had [insert feature here],” a notification center is the new darling. Android has had a notification center for years and even Apple’s lackluster iOS added one in late 2011. But Windows Phone relies instead on live tile for persistent notifications. These tile updates are certainly more dynamic and useful than what’s available on iOS and Android icons, but they can’t rely match the amount of information that can be relayed by a full-screen notification history list.

Multitasking

Answering one of my own key criticisms of Windows Phone, the multitasking UI is finally picking up the most obvious feature of all time: A Close App button (“X”) that you can use to manually shut down an app. Brilliant.

All Apps sorting

One of the weird problems with Windows Phone is that the All Apps list—seen by swiping horizontally from the Start screen—gets unwieldy when you add too many apps to the phone. So Microsoft added a quick navigation feature, which is nice, but still not granular enough for real-world use. In Windows Phone 8.1, Microsoft appears to be adding a sorting capability to All Apps, just as they are doing in Windows 8.1, so you can view this list in far more useful ways.

New Calendar views

I really like the Windows Phone Calendar app but its available views are somewhat lackluster. It’s not totally clear from this shot what’s changing, but there are definitely more view options coming, including This Week and Next Week, and the views will all be available right from the app bar. Good.

There are other minor things in there—a Battery Sense app that could sit alongside Data Sense in helping you keep your phone working efficiently—but you get the gist. Assuming this stuff is real—always a tough call—I like what I see here. And of course I expect a lot more as well.

yes it will void your warranty, but if you have hardware problem that needed to be sent to NCC, you can just re flash to the old os+firmware using the dead usb/phone method(you now have your warranty back). because developer unlock is tied to your phone+microsoft account(hard reset removes developer unlock), and you cant downgrade your phone(unless you flash like i mention). if you dont mind losing your data which the NCC will wipe anyway, then do it, else, wait for the official release.

thanks for such a brief answer.
I think I should wait for official release, this all looks quite troublesome haha tongue.gif

In case if you install the GDR3 now it will void your warranty but soon after when GDR3 becomes General Available (GA), then your phone will be updated with the GA version and it will be back on warranty mode. That's how it should work on paper biggrin.gif

The only concern would be between now and then if your phone got issue most likely you may have problem with Nokia Care Centre, but there are ways some had posted here that they managed to downgrade from GDR3 to GDR2 AMBER.

oh thank you so much for telling, now i am considering to update to gdr 3 preview. If this is what your are telling is correct that I will get back my warranty after the official release then it is worth doing smile.gif

just disabling the proxy from your phone wifi setting will do.

How to do that? My phone detects every other wifi and connects as well except my own wifi at home. It doesn't even show my wifi name, but i checked on my pc and laptop my home wifi is working perfectly

Official Changelog for GDR3 released by Microsoft:

Accessibility. We've made several improvements for customers who are visually impaired.

Storage. Now you can easily free up storage space on your phone and manage temporary files. New categories show what's taking up space.

Driving Mode. Feeling distracted behind the wheel? Driving Mode allows you to minimize incoming calls and text messages to help you focus on the road.

Screen. Reading emails in bed? You can lock your screen orientation so it doesn't shift when you move your phone around.

Wi-Fi. Start preserving cellular data on your phone right out of the box—you can now connect to Wi-Fi during set up.

Internet sharing. Now you can use your phone’s cellular data connection from your Microsoft Windows 8.1 devices by pairing them over Bluetooth.

Bluetooth. Several fixes were made to address known issues, and improvements were made to connection quality for Bluetooth accessories.

Ringtones. Do more with ringtones now. Assign ringtones for text messages, so you'll know who's texting you without even looking. Use your custom ringtones for more things—text messages, instant messages, emails, voicemail, and reminders.

App switcher. Don't look back. Now you can use the App switcher to quickly close apps when you're finished with them.

Other improvements. Includes many other improvements to Windows Phone.

Hey guys. Do I need receipt to claim warranty from Avaxx? I tore off the stickers as well. I have a faulty volume rocker. Any chance for a one-to-one exchange warranty or impossible?

Receipt will do the work i believe. When i once went to Berjaya Plaza for asking them the problem with the camera button, which doesn't work at all since I bought the new phone, that lady asked me to give the receipt as well with the phone.
I didn't bother giving my phone for this thing, who cares for the camera button anyway tongue.gif

bad news is I don't have any receipt. Is it still legit for warranty claims? Btw does the Nokia care centre at amcorp mall operates during weekends?
*
no idea about amcorp but when i asked that lady to dix this button for me she said you need to give the warranty card, i told her i dont have any then she said give the receipt. So i think it is necessary to have it but you can call them or try your luck by going there.

We love new phones, deals, and hot new games. So when we get word on some crazy app deals in the Windows Phone Store we need to pass them onto you. If we told you a handful of Angry Birds titles were free in the Store would you believe us? You don’t need to, go check right now and you’ll see some games going for the low price of free. Specific Angry Birds games after the break.

We don’t know what to make of this. It could be a Store fluke or promotion. It was just earlier this month that Angry Birds, Angry Birds Space, and Angry Birds Star Wars were updated on Windows Phone 8. Either way, you can snag some Angry Birds for free right now. Here are the titles that are showing as free for us and a few of you tipping us:

Angry Birds – Windows Phone Store
Angry Birds Star Wars – Windows Phone Store
Angry Birds Star Wars II –Windows Phone Store
Angry Birds Rio – Windows Phone Store
Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Space are still showing up for us with prices attached. Again, we’re not sure what to make of this. There aren’t any current promotions that we’re aware of. One way or the other, go download these addictive games if you haven’t already.
Just change your region to US then i believe you will be able to get all of them for free, and get the Amazing Alex by switching to UK region wink.gif thumbup.gif
