2. got official OTA lumia cyan + windows phone 8.1 installed.
3. decided to enrolled in developer preview program cos cannot wait for live folders.

just install DP from marketplace, enabling DP. check your phone update, GDR1 aka update 1 will popup.

The concept is OTA update cannot be revert and downgrade. If you are on cyan, you will only get update 1 DP

managed to update wp8.1 dp update 1
live folders rocks! thumbup.gif

Don't update if your current developer preview is running perfectly

Did the Lumia Denim fix the live tile not updated issue? Coz i remember last time when i use L1020 that the live tile (esp for social apps) are not updated in real time. I had to go into the apps to see of there is a new notification.
*
it's been a long time since i had these issue. now all working flawlessly. i thought msft already fixed it in wp8.1, no? something about the method to pull notification and live tile issue back in the wp8.0 days.

windows 8.1 DP or official denim better? lumia 620
*
8.1dp is software, denim is firmware.
you need both to run.
i bet what you're asking is 8.1dp or 8.1 official. if that's the case, if i'm not mistaken both are the same. 8.1dp is final as 8.1 official.
denim is available on lumia 620. why don't you update and give it a try thumbup.gif

here.
of course for some older lumia phone, it won't get some feature such as rich capture and hey cortana option due to hardware limitation.

is 512 mb could support file transfer through VPN while playing emulator game?

please don't consider 512mb.
some apps don't support 512mb devices.
should at least get 1gb.

mostly games..
that's why i said, for a daily driver device, it was sufficient....
*
true that.
just to be safe, get 1gb device at least.
sometimes, there are also apps that didn't support 512mb ram devices on the initial release.
takes a few updates from the developer to optimized their apps before it can support them.
being on windows phone, it is normal to have to wait.

I noticed Lumia Camera and Calendar app is not fully closed when you press Back. Other apps when you press Back at their homescreen it will close. These two will instead be moved to background and need to be closed manually using App Switch.

Any fix on this?
*
no fix. it's a feature actually.
this enables app to fast resume.
also got few apps that behave likes this like telegram and skype.

No side effect except for regional format change (Fahrenheit, USD$ etc) right?

I can change back to Malaysia region freely without any possibility to be banned right?

laugh.gif

if you don't want regional format to change, you can just change the country/region to US and leave regional format in English (Malaysia).
This will also enables Cortana.
