Nokia is rolling out GDR2 update from 15th Aug and in 3days will be covering all countries.
I am tracking news for the big Lumia Amber update which includes Microsoft's GDR2 update too.
Some of the key features of the update for Lumia 920
New camera app, based on Lumia 925. Better white balance for low light
Now you can use third party apps with default camera button, just like Android
Bluetooth v4
FM radio
New Music player
Better notification (backend, great improvement in whatsapp notification etc)
Better battery ( for some 8hrs battery to 16hrs )
Nokia Glance
I am still trying to gather the list. Also can somebody share when will the update be released?

Leaked ROM for 920 and 820

I hope they release GDR2 soon without any bugs like HTC.
Please update your findings from new Amber update.
All the sites are claiming August release now for the update due to a twitter post made by Nokia Spain. I can't wait for the update myself. The whole reason I switched from HTC to Nokia was all the rave about Nokia giving you a reason to stay through quality updates. So the ride has been great so far but it would be nice to have radio back and some of the smart cam features would be lots of fun.
Of course....Nokia Spain's announcement of it may not necessarily mean it's the same for the rest of the world and last month all the sites were saying the update was coming in July.
Hopefully it does come out this month.
The FM Radio is nice to have, yeah. Not sure about SmartCam. I think it's a bit overrated and that you may end up using the stock camera as well (no control over flash, video recording on my Lumia 920 with GDR2).
That said, the update is nice.
I have tryed the euro dev rom with amber and french rom with amber.
I'm from argentina and my phone don't connect 4G, so i went back to my old firmware
Good 4G for me
Using the method that was found on XDA on my ATT and its working great so far, I just got the update for the peak today and now I have wifi tethering so needed that one.
It is said that Amber with GDR2 will release from today, 30 countries and regions included in the first batch, and 3 days later second batch.

thanks for sharing!
Thanks,my friend above!
I can't post with a link even in a quote, and the limit is so strict...
I have Amber installed (by official OTA) for 2 hours, I like all the stuff nokia added to our phone DDDDDDDD
Cant find my way around two features...
The new camera effect that lets me take 10 pictures, how do I use it? And I've been through the full settings list, and cant find anything about the new lock screen (double tap, standby screen, hover hand over to turn it on).
Can anyone confirm if bluetooth 4.0 is present in this update?
Glance. Enable it. Make sure you select "timed" option. Lock device. You'll see the standby clock. Wave hand directly over device. Should be in display + touch in settings. A little reading wouldn't hurt either

Bluetooth 4 is present in this update
Battery life is improved
Whats app and other notification improved
I have a developer device and still waiting for OTA update.
still no update. why does it always last so long?? is anyone still without GDR2??
Finally got it for my unbranded Lumia 920. Those are some very welcome features

New firmware update arriving soon, 8107.12070
The following is a compilation of all known fixes & improvements in 12070:
• Battery drain issue has been fixed
• Lack of audio Bass when listening through headsets has been addressed
• Auto-white balance issue with the camera has been fixed
• Hardware buttons backlights are now always illuminated at all available screen brightness levels
• Diagnostics app has been updated to prevent users from receiving misleading technical readouts about their device
So why Nokia continued to say there is no battery bug, I do not know, if they claim that there's a new battery drain issue that has been fixed?
And why do I get the feeling that they've fiddled with the diagnostics to give you the readings you want to see?
Sigh, no tethering still.
Nice. Battery fix, just what I need to make me love my phone again.
Nice to see the lack of bass is going to be fixed! Thats my only gripe with my phone.
You can load the firmware 1270 with Nokia Care Suite.
Yes but isn't it vodafone branded?

I still haven't received the previous update... How long will that take? ...
Discharging is almost about one half smaller..on the network, wifi, flying mode etc
May be I would be able to write it will stand the same as HTC Titan
I send you a picture from a really bad conditions so pls forgive the quaility..
Looks nice! Do you know, when it's going to hit the public?
And does it fix audio problem for real? Because some song sounds really bad...

Music sounds a lot better than before
You can simply try vf nz.
I downloaded the 1600.2487.8107.12070 firmware and compared it to another phone I have running the older firmware. Whitebalance (picture quality) is much better, there is more bass in the music (same volume) and the battery drain seems to be cut in 1/2 at idle (as shown by the diagnostic tool).

give me tethering and I'll have one with in 24hrs
i squezed 4.5 days (on edge) out of the battery and i use purity monster in-ear earphones and listen to trance, the highs and lows are crystal clear, like Nokia always promisses. i can't complain much about the bass but i'm waiting desperatly to check out the latest firmware.
I can compare L800 to iP4S and N9. MS should work harder to improve battery life.
Other available product codes for the new firmware 12070
059L975 India Black
059M144 India Cyan

hi.. i have lumia 800.. is tango out yet??? i mean the official version n not the chinese version??? how do i update if so??
thanks in advance
When the "official" is available for Your phone will prompt You to connect to Zune....
If you want to flash before it is ready, You can search for it in Firmware+ and flash with Nokia Care Suite. Just search this forum for How To.
But for now it is still only available in the Chinese version :S

Well I am missing a couple hours of battery life
I have been looking forward to internet sharing/tethering/hotspot feature on Lumia 800 since last year. So yeah, they better release Tango for Lumia 800 soon.
so till have to wait huh.. ok.. i am certainly missing battery life and bluetooth tethering.. n wat about bluetooth file transfer?? will it be available in tango or only in win8??
Bluetooth file transfer is not available in the Tango update, I doubt it will be included in Windows phone 8 but you never know until it is released.

I think Nokia are going to put out a Bluetooth app for sending photos.
Dose anyone know if Tango will have any effect on the Lumia 800 after 12072?
Stand by power is pretty good, but using the net for 45mins to an hour can kill by the battery by 50%
Hi everyone!
Searching from news in Navifirm saw today that this version is rolling out to our Lumia, anyone knows about it? Flash it or not?
Does it worth?
Great search!
Unfortunately I cannot find it. The latest version I can find using navifirm 1.7+ is the 1600.2487.8107.12070.
Probably tommorow on the upcoming Microsoft event, Nokia will release new Tango (aka refresh) firmwares for the Lumia.
Nevertheless, as anyone download this and tried it?
Hi, i don't have this in my navifirm+ v1.7, if you can upload we can test this. Thanks.

Do you think MS will release WP8 to Lumia 800? I got this phone only last night, so i'm really ignorant regarding all this.

It isn't yet clear if Microsoft is going to make the the Apolo compatible with existing phones.
There have been a lot of rumors and sayings on this but nothing official.
I think today is the day they will clarify this topic, but I believe that, with Nokia backgrounds on providing frequent updates, at least the flagship phones (Lumia 800 and 900) will be able to be updated.
Let's cross fingers and wait they have the good sense to make wp8 compatible our phones.
UPDATED: The news aren't good with T-Mobile saying: «a statement posted by a T-Mobile Germany representative that the handset definitely won’t be receiving the update. The latest information comes after T-Mobile customers pinged the operator asking when the handset was due to be released on the network.»
NO WP8 to existing LUMIA or WP phones!
All the phones will be DEAD! specially NOKIA!
Well, i figure out after a clean cache that firmware on Navifirm went out, someone was not supposed to put it online, so thats why quickly disappeared.
About Windows aka Apollo 8 , nobody at least Microsoft or Nokia can afirm that, we can only especulate and personally i think that will cause Lumia 800 and 900 are the flagship of Windows Phone, if they wont update it will be like a totally shame. Imagine if Apple launched iOS 6 only to run in the new iPhone coming...

im using the china variant tango past a month now, without FB integration but with wifi sharing and a VERY VERY NICE BATTERY BACK UP, im happy!
Well, it's official.
Although Microsoft's newly unveiled Windows Phone 8 boasts exciting features like more customization options and integration with voice-over IP, one unpleasant suspicion we had about the new mobile OS has been confirmed: current Windows Phone devices won't be able to upgrade to WP8.
That Nokia Lumia 800/900 we've just bought! Consider it a obsolete for the next year :-(.

ROFL not really.
So, What is the version about?
Microsoft confirms Windows Phone 7.8 is coming in "early 2013".
Cast your mind all the way back to June of this year, when Microsoft formally made its first official announcement about Windows Phone 8. At the same event, it disappointed early adopters of its Windows Phone 7 platform by confirming that their handsets would not be eligible for upgrade to the new OS.
But the company also said that it wouldn't leave those faithful users completely out in the cold, promising to deliver an update that would bring new features, including the new-style Start screen, to first- and second-generation devices. But since that announcement, almost nothing has been discussed by Microsoft about Windows Phone 7.8. Until now.
At long last, Microsoft has broken its silence on the 7.8 update. In a blog post, Terry Myerson, corporate vice president for Windows Phone, has now confirmed some of the features that the update will bring, including a greater selection of OS 'accent colours' (20 in total), and improved lock screen features such as the Bing Picture of the Day.
Sadly, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of features here that we haven't heard already - and if you were expecting good news regarding availability, you'll probably want to sit down and pour yourself a drink. Microsoft is commiting to getting the update "tested, approved and rolled out to as many devices as possible in early 2013", so those rumours suggesting it might starting being delivered to devices this week were evidently pretty wide of the mark.
The wording there also implies that not all devices will be updated; we've already had it confirmed by LG that the Optimus 7 won't see 7.8, but it's not yet clear if other devices will join the list of handsets that won't see the OS upgrade. One other device that seems unlikely to see 7.8 is the Dell Venue Pro, a handset that had something of a troubled life before it was finally withdrawn from sale in March of this year. The last update delivered to the Dell Windows Phone was 7.5 Mango.
Myerson also confirmed that new handsets with 7.8 are already beginning to launch, and will continue to do so in order to reach "a range of lower price points"; we've recently seen entry-level devices such as the Nokia Lumia 510 being announced with Windows Phone 7.5, while the Alcatel OneTouch is expected to launch with 7.8 soon.
Evidently, we're still some way from Windows Phone 8 taking over as Redmond's sole smartphone OS.

Yea..and its so freaking annoying that they are just giving us a new start screen and asking us to wait till early next year..!!
When the RTM ROMs are already leaked and they look quiet stable..wdf are MS playing at?
It's not just a home screen, new lock screen, smartglass support and a lot of small fixes like for IE and bluetooth file sharing and etc. WP 7.5 runs very well already,so WP7.8 is just a small fix and MS wants to make it sure, that everything will work even better.
I hope that will improve the performance of Lumia. I bought one a few days ago and I love the simplicity of the OS. And I'm a Android user
Finally, been waiting for few months now......
i hope they will update the firmware, too. especially camera-firmware for Lumia 800. i still have autofocus problems in macro-mode. interesting point is, that with another cam-app like sophiecam, the autofocus DO work, but it acts weird with the native cam-app. so this means, it has to do with software, which i hope nokia will fix with the 7.8 update.
Hi guys,
Which regions have received the update. The UK hasn't. And if you've personally received it, tell ua about your experience and whether its worth upgrading to.
You can track the rollout on sammobile. It seems that it's quite fast actually.
Got it a few days ago. Can't say I see a major difference.
There are some UI tweaks. For example, I like the layout changes in the "Settings" and totally hate the change in the Notification/Quick Panel (less buttons per page).
The current version of Good Lock doesn't work on One UI 3.0 which is a bummer, but they to plan to fix it soon (talking about February at the moment).
Don't see much change in performance or battery life.
Android 11 with OneUI 3.0 is a joke

I just got Android 11 on my sim free Note 10+ 5G in the UK this morning.
Too soon to see what's different yet.
Have to say, this is the first time in a long time when i actually feel the need to do a complete wipe. So many oddities on upgrade, Lock screen is a mess, no clock will show up, click clock in settings under lock screen no capable app available warning is shown. Click on Always On display, nothing happens (in settings it states tap to show when toggled on but does not show anything.)
Phones long overdue a full wipe so will Odin a fresh install and see how that goes
Okay well i sorted those issues forgot i had package disabler pro installed which does not work on this version, so rectified that the only issue i have left is the video camera has become unusable with micro stutters all over the place regardless of the the settings i.e image stabilisation on off hdr on off 1080p 30 or 60 hevc on off, its basically become unusable now
New Zealand - received OTA 5/2/21. No post update issues.
