I am using Lumia 625. When I updated my mobile it shows windows 8.1 with Lumia BLACK. How to change it to Lumia cyan
I first downloaded the Cyan I think! And then it downloaded a bigger file, so thats the one am installing! I think!
P.S, already restarted once the phone and the gears appeared again! Don't want to reset it because of the info i have stored! (Didn't make a back up)
I downloaded the 8.1 update, but my phone has been with the gears for about 3 hours now! How long does it take to install? It already ran out of battery in the morning after 2 hours so i dont count that time! What did i did wrong? It's a Nokia 925
STILL waiting for t-mobile to release the 8.1 update for my Lumia 925. What is taking them sooooo long? At&t has released there's July 31st. Getting frustrated.
Once I upgraded my Lumia 925 to WP 8.1 final the camera no longer works, not with any app
you need a new L925!!!, or trying hard resetting your phone.
95% of us don't need an sd card slot? I would love to know where you got this accurate percentage from.
Battery life seems improved on. I've observed one thing that if you keep Theme as Dark or White it won't affect in battery consumption so I feel it's a myth that you should keep it dark to save bit of battery.
But I still belive in Dark :D
Oh dear. I'm so jealous. Anybody out there from East Africa, Kenya in particular? No update here, I'm on a 1020. I also use a note 3 and the android updates take months to get to us. Hope it's better with Windows, i.e. hope I get an update before Christmas!!!

Posted via Windows Phone Central App
Guess we are still going to have to wait in the US for our carriers to get off their butts.
I did also update Lumia 625 in 8.1 but I feel some issues in this window as like when we play any video then I saw three line show in right hand side .and music refreshing time is too much.
Since I updated to Cyan the camera is just white, I can't take picture s.
Updated my Lumia 625 yesterday
Battery drain issues and battery saver not working
In general as I set battery saver in windows 8 brightness reduces but its not working in 8.1
Please tell me how to activate it
And under settings-> display,
I got only COLOR PROFILE and dint get BRIGHTNESS PROFILE
upgrade to cyan but all my stored photos couldn't be retrieved hmmm!!
well does anyone feel any battery improvement on lumia 925...????pls share your view..
Updated my 925 yesterday, checked all features, all are going good except one... the BATTERY now drains on a very fast rate than before. Had to charge 2 times in 6 hours with no particular use or stress on mobile. Seems a problem.
Ive just updates to Lumia Cyan on my lumia 625 from mexican operator Telcel!!!!
When will the 8.1 be out for the 1520
Got the update last night. Running tests on the phone... Battery, camera, responsiveness... More @ the forum
It would be great if Microsoft wasn't so ***damn slow with their windowsphone updates. I am getting tired checking my phone daily for the last update grrr. I've been checking for months now (Europe)
Updated my L625
Battery sucks!
Drains like hell
Well,looks like I'm gonna need a portable charger
Just got it on O2 UK (Lumia 925) :D
Where can I see if cyan update is out for 1520 Netherlands its realy stupid other phones getting the update and we have to Wait !!!!!
Hey, Any idea how do I make Cortana speak up? Problem is, she does everything when I type... However when I use the Microphone to say something, she doesnt do anything at all. There is no verbal response from her side on anything.
Someone on the forum commented that I need to Un-Mute her. Any idea how do I do that?
I think MS doesn't want to give us all the features at one go. Hence they 8.1.1 update in the works. And just recently they said its almost ready. So I can only imagine that for now. But the real question is, how long will it take :) if its nearly finished or finished by now lol
Anyone from HK got update yet????
I am in HK...hmmm not yet upgraded on my lumia 925....maybe tomorrow will be okay???
Got 8.1 update kinda good thing enjoying a lot...
No brightness profile on Lumia 925 here in Bangladesh. No living image support also
I got the update it's more or less the same as WP 8.1 with of course a few new improvements
1520 & 1020 is waiting so long to update.
Android L available for L1520 LOL! Z
If you're using an unlocked T-Mobile Lumia 925 on Cricket are you basically SOL as far as getting updates?
@mryamaman9 : You havent noticed any diff. coz. there is hardly any.... If you had high battery drain issue in DP8.1.. you will notice a marginal improvement.. Thats the only diff i could find..
Some people have noticed some arrow signs near wifi/data.. but i couldnt.. Check if thats available..! :D:D these are the only changes as far as i know! And ofcourse..!! in extras+info... Lumia Cyan is displayed now.. :p thats a big change !
@charith , @shashank : Try searching for the updates after a soft reset. How much storage space is left in your devices... I read somewhere that >1.5GB is required... check your free storage..!!
I had no issues and updated from dp8.1 only..
P.S. Battery performace has slightly improved with CYAN...
I have 10.33GB free in my mobile. wht dd u mean by soft rest?...
Got it. Downloaded and installed cyan very quickly. I haven't really noticed any difference from the dev preview.
Lumia 925 factory unlocked.
Was waiting on thus firmware to fix 2nd mic that was broken by DP. No luck. I'm not alone.
625 is not getting updated in India.. Say device is already up to date
same on 925
Same with me also.my Lumia 625,no cyan update till now.says phone is update.
Hey, is the interactive lockscreen by Microsoft and Rudy Huyn included in this update?
Having 925.can't find any difference between developers preview and this cyan.except the extra and info.plz inform the changes
Nokia's website says that the update is available for my 925 in Singapore but the phone tells me that it's up to date! This is frustrating. Running on wp8.1 dev preview
Well hey..go and download Nokia recovery tool and you will downgrade back to lumia black..until then you can update your phone to cyan..i did that last night..it works now...
I'm with T-Mobile in the US and of course no update yet for my 925. We'll see when they decide to release it.
I have updated my lumia 925 using preview for develper bt nw i ddnt gt the cyan update. i have change my region to US early bt now i have change it to my current region (Sri Lanka) but still i ddnt gt the cyan update please help me....... thanks a lot
I am facing the same issue...
ur in india or sri lanka?....
Anyone in Netherlands got the update en on wich phone
Pm me pls
Finally new lockscreen is available in cyan awsome!!!
Ooh plz shut up up liar
anyone updated the device which had dev preview installed? I am unable to update on my 925 in India.
I have the same issue. :(
No update available? Unlocked uk
I have a NOKIA Lumia 920 with 8.1 DP and after reading disappointing comments about Cyan I'm not so interested that it comes fast to Colombia. Microsoft & Nokia disappointing users since 2011. It seems that's their main plan nowadays. 920 seems to be my last windows phone.
Why don't you just sit tight and wait and see for yourself rather than believing hearsay and not giving the company a chance to address the problems? No point talking about jumping ship until YOUR phone has cyan.
Got the update yesterday then did a hard reset. Still a few issues glance colours not working when I want quiet time, do not know about battery life yet, Camera seems to auto focus, I'm using a Lumia 925.1 Italy but live in Portugal. Just hope the heating issues have cleared up ;) and better battery life!
Did you have your region set to USA or Portugal?
Hi I have my phone set to Portugal sometimes UK just because it seems to heat up alot if I change which region.
I downloaded the Lumia cyan uppdate 2 hours ago on my Nokia Lumia 925 in Sweden but i didnt get any new settings likw the ones Daniel Rubino showed in the Nokia Lumia 930 video on youtube. And yes its stands Lumia Cyan in the extras+info so i has got it. And i had the Windows Phone Developer prewiev before i uppdated. Why?
Dude some updates are not applicable to L925.
Available in the UK on Vodafone for 925 according to the Nokia site but phone still saying no..
MS taking so long was a problem because they released the Icon in February. Some of its capability wasn't useable until new firmware was released. They put a device on the market that wasn't fully enabled until six months later? That's horseshit. I don't care how the story is spun.
Yes, new firmware is needed for Samsung. On 8.1, the ATIV SE has a buggy camera, reboots whenever the LED is fired, the touch screen becomes unresponsive forcing you to do a soft reset for no reason at all, and the SD card appears to corrupt about once a week and there's no way to roll it back to 8.
I have an Icon and an SE. My Icon filled up the first week I had it. Hence, I bought an ATIV SE. It was half the weight despite almost identical specs and had an SD card slot.
As it stands, if I have to give up the Samsung it'll be to go back to Android.
Lol I feel your pain. Now that Cyan is finally rolling out, I only begin to wonder how long the 8.1.1 will take to rollout lol yet they said already its almost ready.
LOL, you made the decision to install the 8.1 DP ahead of the official release, you deal with the consequences. There's a reason it may void some warranties by installing the DP.
The icon is fine. Anyone who runs it outside 8.1 can enjoy it until the new features arrive. Anyone who installed DP (which lacks cyan firmware) did so at personal risk and has no right to complain if it goes wrong, since it's not a guaranteed build and hasn't been through carrier testing.
I think the true culprit here is Samsung. If you're getting problems with a buggy camera or touch screen, that's NOT a fault with WP 8.1, it's a fault with how the firmware talks to that particular device. Samsung are responsible for the firmware for their own device. Go back to android if you want; it's always more peaceful here without another fool who installs the D.P. and whines when it's not perfect.
By reading some of the comments here, so theirs no change from 8.1 preview to cyan? Dammn
Creative Studio? Living images?
I am enjoying every bit of the update. Only issue is with Cortana. I have her up and running and she is doing everything I type. When I use speech and say something, she doesnt respond. Any idea why?
You forgot to un-mute her.......
How do I do that?
I was just kidding.......try asking her Will it rain tomorrow?.....press and hold search button a bit longer till she starts listening.....
Tried. Doesn't work still.,:(
Strange.....
What do u mean by she doesn't responds?
When I speak and say Open Calendar, she doesn't do anything. If I type, she does it perfectly
Lumia 920 via NSU available :)
I am so anxious to het the update on my 720. I m in the Netherlands
What we can get exactly with cyan update?
Just updated it. I'm practically fangirling lol
I really dond get it why its taking so long to release it for the 1520 omg hurry up !!!
How to updatere cyan helpp
You need to ensure you have WIFI and Phone on Charging. Go on settings>Phone Update? Search for update. Update will show up and it will start downloading and installing. It might take time based on your internet speed.
Does the region need to be changed from USA (to get Cortana) to my true region to get the update?
If you change it back from USA you'll loose Cortana. First get the update installed completely and then change the region and language to US to get,Cortana
Thank you for the answer. It is appreciated.
I use L625. Update is downloading cant wait :D
Mera b l625 h ...helpp me

What network. The update showed up this morning on my 625 but now it is saying I'm up to date on 8.0. I'm on emobile.
Nokia lumia 925 from France updated to lumia cyan 8.1 last night!
Lumia 925 from France updated to 8.1 cyan last night!
Today I have got the update for Lumia 925.
@ayushriv.. Cyan has got nothing to do with changing region in settings. Keep US region only if you need Cortana!
Thanks
You answered my question, thank you!
@currygoat: You wont get the cyan update by changing the region in settings. Depends on the hardware manufacturer region...
And why people complain?? It's coz. None of the rumored features are available with this official update!! So the complaining response is quite natural!!
still cannot update in malaysia
Installed yesterday update on 625 in the Netherlands.
Updated. Cant see anything new than developer preview. Well...
I can't be the only one that types faster than swyping. Actually I should be in the majority in 2014.
do i have to change my region back to india if it was previoulsly set to usa to recieve the CYAN update????
Nope.....:D
Thanks ali27677
And what abt cortana...after cyan is installed we will get cortana right(region being usa) ??
Yup you'll still use Cortana after cyan no need to change to region just wait for cyan.. Like me. :)

Downloaded update... Using 625 in Sri Lanka
@srijin : If you were on dp8.1, you are gonna be highly disappointed bro!!
Now why is he gonna be disappointed if he used WP 8.1 DP to 8.1 cyan ?
Yeah why?
Got the update atlast let see what new in this from India
Nokia 925 got official windows 8.1 in India.
I am downloading updates on Lumia 925. So people in Vietnam can check for updates now. Can't wait anymore. :)
So its the predecessors of 930 and 630 getting updates first?? 1520 shown as under testing for India in the Nokia page....
To all the people who are waiting for the cyan update... If you had the dp8.1 installed previously, there is nothing to get excited about!! Only diff u r gonna find is Lumia Cyan displayed in extras+info... :@ no living images, equalizer for speakers etc.. All were just rumours!! At least for the moment.. For L925..
MS really screwed us.. :@:@ only the latest phones are getting the new features.. (930, 630) .
Seriously MS... Show some love for previous flagship owners as well!! :@:@
Just wastage of bandwidth!! Useless update! I never expected the only change will be just a simple name change... Huh!! Big deal.. Update they say!
Honestly I'm a bit worried about the bitlocker problem, can someone explain it please, apparently is something serious
Yah please someone.....
