Sam Sabri. Topics Windows Phone 8. Preview For Developers. See all comments Can’t wait to play with all the new features! We can finally attach documents in email! Patience my padawan. Yoda voice GDR3 must you get if patience you have. Sam , I am glad to confirm that it is possible to install the preview on multiple phones with an app studio ID. The progress bar on the “gears of death” is back.. That is a nice thing! I have the same prob.

Will have to hard reset it messes up again. I passed through it, now migrating teh data. You are close to the promised land!!! I am here at the promised land and is amazing. A day? This was just released not even a full day yet. He was referring to a previous update.

Context is fundamental. Passed it, now i’m in migrating data. Me too after falling back to 96 from Love your live updates of the installation process :P. In Slovakia and Czech Republic, amber update is still not available. Nokia lied, that amber will be available for all phones at end of september. Now it’s 14th October, still nothing I had expected that.

Indonesia too, some users diidn’t receive that when after Sep 21, Official update is too long and they can’t give it on time for all countries at once. There actually was a cumbersome way to attach documents by going through the skydrive app. I don’t think many people discovered this. Only downside is you can only attach one document to an email.

It is the sharing feature of Skydrive.. Absolutely not. Can only attach one Office doc per email as well. Lol, I am sorry.

But that is the extent of it. Am I missing something? Pressing the paperclip does what it always did – shows items in your photo folders. That’s it. The only thing “new” about attaching documents to emails is that you can do it through the office hub by long press, share. This is like it was before but not limited to Skydrive anymore. Either way this is a pointless update.

I do not understand at all how MS does not see this AFTER 3 years they are still blind to this. Thanks for clarifying. Yea, like I said, I didn’t see any change. I was assuming it was going to be FROm the email app.

This sort of stuff is indeed frustrating. Seemingly obvious things are just not being added fast enough. This is a multi billion dollar company, and this platform is going to be a key to their survival. Yet, you can’t help feeling like there’s a small staff of like 10 developers working on the entire platform, sitting in a lonely corner of the first floor next to the mailroom in a crappy outskirts office building of Microsoft’s.

No vision for real world use. Really boggles my mind. WP is a key platform. What are they waiting for. I go back to that image of 10 mediocare developers in a dark corner working on WP. There were hundreds of developers on that project.

We were churning out updates and changes monthly. Building new features, new billing options for the customer. So what is Microsoft doing with these cash reserves sitting off shore? We get “tweaks” once a year. Are there OS level restrictions that would prevent an outside developer from essentially recreating the standard Mail app yet with the ability to add Office and PDF documents?

Developers created a universal search app for the phone I’m hoping they could make this happen also? I don’t know Malcolm. No WP apps at this time. Good question but I’m guessing no or someone would have done it by now. Yes, there are many restrictions on the API usage. They dont want developers to have more access into certain level of built-in apps like the email because they afraid windows phone will contain malware like android. Seriously, a phone whose key features include Office integration Yet, it cannot attach office documents from the e-mail app itself.

It would be a joke if it weren’t true. You had to save the document to your phone first then send via email through the office app. Otherwise it was just a link. Please have someone post a video tour. I’m someone who is not jumping into the program. There really is no reason not to do it. Signing up takes seconds and if free. They want enthusiasts to get the updates early so let’s do it!

Well, there’s one reason not to do it. Warranty issues. There is that. I am willing to take the risk because once the update comes out it should have go back under warranty at that time.

And if I brick my 8X then I can justify buying a You know you could already attach documents by going into the office hub first, selecting your document and sending them this way ;. Multiple documents? Pssht, details, schmetails. Sam – can you confirm attaching multiple documents when replying to an email? You can’t attach one let alone attach multiple from email app.

Just upgraded to GDR3 to realize that my main reason for doing so was under a false assumption. A false assumption that MS has any sort of idea what business users who use email might want in a phone Absolutely sad that MS can’t get this figured out. That is just sad. Very very sad. WP team what are doing? Are you just sitting and hatching eggs? How could you even miss out on this key feature?

I want to send files lying on my SD card through my Email countless number of times. WP Team. Wake up. This is for gods sake! That was only to new emails. No way to replay to an email and attach a document. In fact, everything about the email client on Windows Phone is maddening.

Actually, Windows Phone is maddening. We couldn’t do that before? I thought I’d done that once before Free download cuz of app studio, YAY! Installing now. Exciting times for WP Gears are going I like how microsoft is pretending to play nice with the carriers.

While true, most consumers won’t know about this or do this, I think they are slowly phasing their rules in place. And yeah, I’m sure that similarly to how they responded to you, people are going to say “we’ve always been able to do that in the Office hub” but that doesn’t help for PDFs depending on the source- PDFs from another email or from the internet doesn’t show in the Office hub, and connecting to a PC to download the PDF to my phone to email it just is not a solution.

Sam, I’ve sent you a message, can you please check your inbox. You can actually do it, go to office look the document you want to send and click share by email It’s still not possible to attach docs to your email unless i’m missing something when i tap the attach button, it only shows me my photos. Same here, but I’m assuming this isn’t the finished product. Is there a way to forward emails? If anyone is scared of the gears, don’t worry it took 10 mins to get past the little progress bar – migrating data atm.

Oh what would I do without you WPC! Thanks, you guys are the best! I’ve updated to GDR3, why can’t I add documents as attachments? I tried “attach” from the native email app but it still only brings me to pictures. So it is attached to the mail account you choose as a document rather than sharing a link. Sam Sabri: Ive been looking for an answer all day If you are worried about it then the update is not for you.

Hey Sam, With GDR3 update we can attach doc and ppt files through emais which are stored in phone memory? I am still having GDR2 update and facing huge problems not able to send or reply to emails with out word docs and ppts which are stored in phone memory n sky drive Thanks. I’ve had GDR3 for weeks on my iPhone. Don’t listen to him. Android is better :P. Me too!!!!! I’m tiiiight! There’s no way yo do it without WiFi??

Lol I don’t want to wait till later when I get home!! I dunno. I hit download and it tell me I going to download over Digicel my carrier cellular network and I hit ok and it start lol.

Make sure the second box something about downloading if data settings allow is checked. I tried but still doesn’t let me download over cellular :’. Someone knows if intalling from SD Card is an option? Omfg omfg!!! Yay :D. Ya know, I was going to tell this nice user the true meaning, but I like what you’ve done. That’s what I’m afraid of, of that happening for 8 hours and still spinning. And that program that Nokia has to fix it is only for windows, and I have a mac, so I got a surface pro 2, so I’m not gonna boot camp my mac.

If you have surface pro 2 then why even mention what you said before? Sure that program is windows only, and you have a mac So really no point in saying anything about the mac. Well then shut up and take your test. Stop wasting my time. Like I said, pro 2, meaning I preordered it and I don’t currently have it, as it isn’t out yet. Quite honestly I don’t know or care when surface 2 is coming out.

When you say you “got one” it implies you, well, got one, rather than not getting one. But if that’s the case then refusing the boot camp, a pretty simple and reversable process, is just silly and maybe you should just wait for the public release. I meant the process that Nokia made to fix the gears issue is too hard for an average consumer, as some who only have a mac can’t do that process unless they purchase windows.

Link to said process? Look it up in WPCentral search. Don’t worry, my took 7hrs to do Amber, but this GDR3 took just 20 minutes :o. My only took maybe 30 minutes for Amber.

Yeah, mine upadted too, all together it again took about 30 minutes : I like the app closing thing. Also, would be nice to have a tile for the screen rotation lock. I wish it included Xbox Video in this update. Oh well. If you have windows 7 or 8, you can install that Nokia program to fix it. Nah, its done! What are you trying to say?

Installing for me right now. If I had another phone I would definitely do it. I think there is a really low risk of damaging your phone with this since its direct from MS. You’ve got plenty of bugs already anyways. No risk at all. Mine took literally less than 10 minutes after it started to install the rotating gears. And now I have the all of the new features except the ability to change the glance colors and see notifications from glance. But that will come all in due time from Nokia!

Don’t know why but I’m juiced about this!! Installing now!! Prior to today, I have been looking at Nexus 4 devices to see how cheap they are because having access to vanilla updates is important to me , and was one of the main reasons I was lured into Windows Phone from Android back in WP7 days with my Arrive.

In the recent 2 months, Microsoft has been demonstrating to me that they are taking this platform as more than a “pet project”, and are listening to people. IDC about app count or all the bells and whistles of other operating systems, but just seeing that they are paying attention is enough for me to wait for them to deliver the particular things I’m waiting for which is really onl NFC payments and Cortana.

It took them 3 years to come out with the ability to attach files in email. No it took them 3 yrs to make anyone able to do it could always do it thru the hub, or skydrive.

Well I still can’t attach an email to an email. Me either. Been trying to figure out how. Wouldn’t forward work in this situation? Well if they are referring to just attaching to email that has been there thru office. I think they need to fire someone in the Windows Phone Department. Joe Belfiore never listened to us. This reminds me so much of old webOS’ Preware times I’m gonna be a coward and will wait for you guys to try this :P.

The spinning gears of doom now has a progress bar! GDR2 took 2. Bummer, the install on my L took less than 5 minutes, now migrating data. Download took ages, though Wow GDR2 took 2. What phone do you have? How much space have you used on your phone? It only took maybe 30 mins max for me.

I know! I was really happy when I saw that. On previous OTA updates, you never really knew if you just bricked your phone, or it just took forever to install. I think they also fine tuned the progress bar on data migration also.

It seemed to update more then before. Sometimes, it’s the little things that matter most! I actually found it to be more stressful after it didn’t move for a while! I’m going to try this tomorrow once there is enough feedback on what folks have signed up for. Installing GDR3 right now, whoa man am I stoked!!

Downloading update right now!!! Anyone here able to tell if the WXGA devices now offer three medium tile columns? It does not seem like it does. Source: It just finished installing on my I have not been able to locate a setting to enable this either. Looks like it’s only p devices. Not found a way to do it. I was really hoping this was possible. We’ll find out soon enough. Just completed fine on my – less than 20 minutes once the download had finished. This app is from Microsoft Everything from Microsoft is safe?

Just saying.. I also thinking the same thing? Can we update it to full official GDR3 when they release it. Doesn’t reset your phone to factory. Because IIRC, windows 8 developer previews and such were not upgradable to the official releases, you had to install from scratch, right? I don’t really want to install from scratch later when bittersweet shimmer comes out.

You DON”T have to reinstall. This is MS’s enthuisist program. Windows Phone Blog states this very clearly. Does Skype work properly after this update? I want to install it but I must have usable Skype.

Can anybody confirm, please? Just called the skype test service and it seemed to work flawlessly. What about incoming calls and messages in the background?

Can you please test those? Thanks a ton! Store is swamped, where did all these developers come from :D. What do you mean? During more than 5 minutes.

What the It let’s you get GDR3? Just joking I’m in. AYY Finally I can lay in my bed sideways, browsing around! Is there a more convenient way of switching this on and off than going all the way into settings? Why would you need to switch between it off and on frequently? And it takes two seconds to go into settings. How else would it work? Well, for example I may have it on most of the time and then want to turn it off for a minute to view a site that works best on landscape.

And then turn it back on for the next page. Android has it in the swipe down status bar swipe-tap without leaving your app , iOS used to have it in the multitasker double-press home then tap, without leaving your app except since iOS7 it’s in the much-harder-to-access settings drawer.

It would definitely work best if the option to lock orientation was in the multi-task view.. It does not. This has been known for a while. How do I do it for free? Join App Studio. Yeah I’m sorry I downloaded the wrong app, now I got it!

My os version seems to be higher. Is that okay? Rotating gears of death. I am also updated with GDR3 now, confirm closing apps from multi tasking view is working but havent tested anything else yet. OS Version is 8. That’s for 6-inch screen only. Actually for p resolution phones.

Any current phone isn’t p. All of our phones won’t get extra tiles. I hate it every time to deinstall apps to free memory space shitty 8s But I’m looking forward to the new stuff, hope that everything will work.

Thank you MS. Had GDR2 for two weeks, never thought id get to 3 so soon, this is more like it. No WiFi at work though, illwait til i get home and see how everyone here fares first!

Amber working OK? Installed GDR 3 this morning while at work. No problems so far. Trying on a Lumia my super eyesight don’t care if I get tree columns in my start screen as an option at least. So if I do this would the old apps for gdr2 work with this? It’s mutch faster!!!! In what way? Mine’s just installing. How long does it take for the spinning gears to disappear? No new tiles on my 8X :. How do you get app studio? Can I have a link? Thank you! I’m so happy to so quickly update in a couple of days!

The link has already been posted above. Scroll up and see it. Installing on my right now! I am Excite!! Are we going to lose Nokia Apps? This just updates the OS. All functions from Amber will continue to work. None of your data is removed from the phone it does not do a reset. It shows all as it is after install.

I’ve installed the Preview app, but feeling a little unsure on whether or not to update. Well I’m here to confirm with you that you keep all amber features, so go ahead!! Yes, yes and yes. This is just updating the OS not the full rom. All features from Amber work as expected. Bittersweet Shimmer will likely come through as a separate update from Nokia when they release it.

Yes they are working perfectly as before. Yes all working fine. Nokia Lumia Glance works and block sms and calls works also. So does my procam app. All done!! Off to explore :D. I’m NOT dev. What to do? Is there anyway I can download it? Write an App? Its not hard to register for App Studio for free.

It doesn’t matter if you are a developer or not. GOT IT!! Hesitating whether to press download or not. Downloading update, yay! Installed and works. It looks like the new tiles column is for p displays only, as I expected. Where did the rumour that the extra column would come to WXGA screens originate from? PS: the update was downloaded and installed within 5 mins on my This OS update only adds the ability to support p displays.

It wont enhance the display of the devices which we already have :. Is it available In india???? Yes,but you need dev account. It should be available to all countries which can register as a developer or for the app studio. I would assume that India is included in those countries, as WP is quite popular there. Why not try? Now let’s hope they extend this no-carrier OS update to the public in general when non-beta versions are released How can I sign up to the developer program?

I think I heard there was a free way. Did I hear right? Please reply.. One good side effect is that the pro cam app on my now launches faster on gdr3 preview. Will someone try to load An xbox video file on this and let us know if they fixed it like. It was rumored. I can’t install till I get home tonight. That would be a rumored feature of WP8. I’m on the spinning gears And there’s a progress bar underneath the gears now Yea, its much better now that we can see the actual progress of the spinning gears, instead of worrying about it being stuck.

Will I still be able to download Bittersweet if I do this? Or will I be stuck with the general release? They are separate things. You should still get the latest Nokia firmware when it is released by Nokia. Shimmer will be packaged with GDR3 official release though. They’re not actually ‘packaged’, they’re completely separate updates. They are just always released at exactly the same time.

Yes, you will be able to download. It looks like they still didn’t fix xbox music clipping at the beginning of a song if you have it on repeat. Both are not available in the Philippines. Just wondering, will this rid my 8S of the HTC apps, or the ability to update them?

I do love my massive pinned clock I’ll install right away if I can keep it! Everything will continue to work as it did before. Let the updates commence! Hey did u finish installation? Do u have a dev account? Just finished, but i cant launch any third-party apps! Anybody else? I’m installing. Same with car mode and rotation lock. I guess i have to use hard reset, fck.

I’ll wait for tomorrow to update. Good call Had the same problem. It was properly installed, new features added, nothing worked, panic set in. Reboot fixed everything. Restart did not worked for me unfortunately, anyway thanks for the feedback.

Nah, plug the charger in and ur fine. Yes, you can! I did. Of course it’s better if you do it with higher battery life since it would turn off in the process and you are screwed. I’ll update now ,thx :. Registered and Downloading Update :. There is no increase. Thanks for the answer, but do u advise me to update it, i mean do u see any improvements. Advise you wait 24 hours and watch feedback before diving in. That feature is only for new hardware Lumia The extra column of tiles is for p screens only.

Why do people keep bitching about this if this has been clarified for weeks already!! What I want to know is if data sense works on att phones. Confimed working fine on a , Start screen a tad laggy, quick reboot seemed to fix it screen roation and multitasking working fine. Worked perfectly on my L! That encourages me for the update!!! The amount of “developers” will probably quadruple until tomorow :D. I might develops an app for myself now. Not sure what though! I wonder if anyone had problem like me.

I’ve just installed this preview of gdr3 on htc 8x. Everything works fine except now I cannot play the tone to listen before selecting it. Updated : After 1 attempt to reboot, it works again. Now this update’s satisfying. Come and get one for your phone, folks! No issue here on a lumia I would suggest that you turn the phone off and on again. Then try it again. Try resetting your device and see if it comes back. Such an exciting time Amber update last week, now this.

Sooo good. I can finally close programs from multitasking again! Must have come from Android where this kind of thing is actually needed.

How will my device handle official Nokia updates? Will I lose Bittersweet Shimmer if I go to the dev channel? When I do a reset on my phone, will I restart to a dev preview device or a stock firmware device?

Basically, I know there will be problems, hence it’s a dev preview. I need a way back from that. If there is, I’ll jump in. If there isn’t and it looks like there isnt based on the sign up terms , I’m not able to do so. Just do it.. You’ll still get all your Nokia updates as you normally would. If you are using a Nokia you should always be able to manually flash a Nokia rom using care suite, even older software versions.

You can always un-enroll from the developer channel to only receive retail updates. You will retain the OS and Firmware version after a reset, it will not downgrade. By not reading the article you lead people to believe in misinformation like what you’ve presented. Migrating data takes the longest. Was only on the spinning gears for a few minutes. Been migrating data for a while now. Yeah – with storage nearly full, where in the world is it migrating the data to?? So I’m guessing the carriers threw a fit about the original enthusiast program warranty coverage and such and this is MS way of circumventing under the guise of a developers program that is easy to access.

In any case seems to provide a no phone left behind update safety net for some phones like the Yeah, exactly. Which is a good move, especially now that anyone can get it by pretending to be a developer for free.

I wonder if this could also become a channel for OEM updates? Especially since they also have features they can provide developers, like Nokia’s imaging enhancements.

How do I sign up for “App Studio”? Read the thread. There’s links all over the place in this thread, and the last articles.
