Today, we've been made aware of an update which is being fired out to Lumia Icon owners on the Verizon network. Consumers have been experiencing issues with Windows Phone 8.1 on their Icon smartphones, but unfortunately this appears to be a 8.0 update and not one for the Developer Preview.
Windows Phone Central reader Dreamspell noted some visible changes after updating:
"It was a Nokia update. They changed the Verizon boot splash to an orange one from the white one. They also added the little arrow thingy to the WiFi symbol in the status bar. That's what I've noticed so far. No DTTW yet."
Verizon has published a PDF containing changes included in this release:
- Improvements to Wi-Fi Connectivity to ensure a more consistent experience
- Roaming enhancements when traveling internationally
Not a massive change log, but firmware updates rarely are when not combined with Windows Phone OS updates. Do let us know if you've received an update in the comments and join in the conversation over on our forum. Thanks, Dreamspell, for the tip!
