is there any way i could get the vibrating sensation for typing without increase the ringing volume up to 30?

i notice that the vibration only increases when the ringing volume increase, when below than 20, cannot feel the vibration already

yes mate i understand, but i just don't see the need for a picture for the glance screen, the main purpose of the glance screen for me is to see the time, date and notifications, that's all

totally agreed, the function of glance is to provide information

the only use for a picture is perhaps as a fancy clock on the desk or bedside

anyway glance background is just a beta right now

since Nokia plans to add more notifications to glance, the glance screen may ultimately replace the lockscreen entirely and provide an always-on notification centre

-Support for 1080p display for new devices like the Lumia 1520
-Support for new processors including Qualcomm’s Snapdragon MSM8974 quad-core CPU
-Driving Mode: Turns of all notifications except texts and phone calls when you're driving. You can also turn calls and texts off completely or set Driving Mode to text and automatic reply like "Hey, I am driving right now. I'll reply you later."

-No more twist and shout: Does your screen keep spinning when you’re trying to read emails in bed? Use the new rotation lock option to keep it fixed in place.
-Better storage management: New storage settings make it easier to free up space on your phone and manage temporary files. A new category view shows what's taking up space at a glance.
-Easily close apps: Now you can use the App switcher to quickly close apps when you're finished with them.
-Wi-Fi access out of the box: You can now connect to Wi-Fi during phone set up, so you can start conserving cellular data right out of the box.

Developer can get GDR3 early.

Guys & gals, GDR3 preview for developer is out and those whom have registered as Developer can now download the GDR3 directly via this app from Microsoft... However, this is only updating the core OS and any firmware specific update from phone manufacturer is not included e.g., Bittersweetshimmer.. (if your phone currently has AMBER they mentioned it will still be there on your phone post upgrade) and you cannot downgrade the OS once you upgraded to GDR3 preview, one can only wait for the newer version until GDR3 hit RTM or GOLD...

If you wanna try but not registering yourself as a full developer with a whopping USD 99 or USD 19 (unlock up to 3 devices for developer), you can go to Windows Phone App Studio to register yourself as a developer with 1 device activation to get the GDR3 preview...

You will continue to receive the official update (and firmware) when they become publicly available, so there is no missing out of features, nor will you ever be behind

This will void your device warranty

Please read the Terms and Condition carefully before going for the GDR3 preview ya (my L920 warranty gonna end this December anyway so let's have a go!)

Downgrade?! For Nokia Device Back to GDR2 AMBER?!

A user in wpcentral managed to downgrade back from GDR3 to GDR2 AMBER on his Nokia at here... although Microsoft specifically mentioned you cannot downgrade the OS once you upgraded to GDR3 preview... that user is using Nokia Care Suite for the job!

Have fun..

P/S: Once you choose the Windows Phone App Studio route (free mar), you need to download the whopping 1.6GBSDK 8.0 + 960MB SDK 8.0 Update to register your phone as a developer phone to side lock... If you wanna do some extras reading how to register your phone to become developer phone, then hit this site



Upon successful registering your device as a Developer Phone, you will also received an e-mail to install a Microsoft Certificate which will allow your phone to accepts sideload or OTA from Microsoft preview channel

Once the above is done, scan this app below to get it OTA to your phone...
