Lumia Cyan and Windows Phone 8.1 update hits AT&T's Lumia 520 and 925

AT&T will start rolling out the over-the-air Windows Phone 8.1 update today to its customers who own the Lumia 925 and the Lumia 520 smartphones.

This new update follows on the heels of AT&T offering Microsoft's latest mobile OS for the Lumia 1520. According to AT&T:

"The Windows Phone 8.1 update for the Nokia Lumia 925 and 520 brings you a personal smartphone experience that puts the people and things you really care about right at your fingertips. Great new features like Cortana, a personal virtual assistant built around you, is the only smartphone assistant who can set reminders by people, as well as by time or location. She can remind you to pick up your dry cleaning on the way home from work or remind you to text or call your grandma and wish her a happy birthday."

As we have mentioned before with previous OTA updates to Windows Phone 8.1, anyone who has the Lumia 925 and 520 and has already downloaded and installed the Developer Preview version needs to downgrade to Windows Phone 8.0 before they download the new over-the-air update to 8.1. Will you be updating your AT&T Lumia 925 and 520 phones today?

  • Awesome sauce!!!!
  • NOTE The Title was initial incorrect for this article. It is the Lumia 925 and Lumia 520 that is getting Lumia Cyan. (Previous comments were deleted since this was fixed within a minute of posting)
  • Sorry, I'm a little confused. I read an article about 8.1 Cyan coming out and that those on Preview have to downgrade in order to get it. Then, there is another article about 8.1 Update 1 coming to those who use Preview.... What's the advice for 8.1 Preview users?
  • If you're on DP 8.1 hold right until next week and you'll get update 1. That's pretty much it.
  • Just my two cents. If you want the Cyan update (I do) roll back when 8.1 becomes available for your phone from the carrier. After getting Cyan, go back into the Preview and update to Update 1.
  • Cyan is firmware, Update 1 is software (OS). These types of updates are independent of each other. Cyan is a Lumia-specific upgrade to the phone's firmware; all phones can get Update 1 because it is an OS upgrade from Microsoft.
  • Welcome to WPCentral. A XTalk company.
  • Cyan update is an official wp 8.1 . And you'll get GDR update 1 for your updated phone
  • No. Cyan is a collection of firmware and fixes that are Lumia specific. There's nothing 8.1 "official" about it. They are two separate things.
  • The article previews running along the top of the website still show Lumia 925 and 920...  That needs updated if you want to avoid more confusion.
  • NOTE The new Slidebar (whatever it's called) still shows 920 & 925
  • Dang it, you gave me sweaty palms. I was prepping myself. :/
  • in the banners on the home page still says 920 and got fangirly exited just to be crushed about not being true u.u  
  • No wonder, thanks Daniel
  • Verizon takes too long because they need custom roms that delete the visual voicemail app, then charge you $3 a month to get it back. Also they need to install their bloatware backup app that can't be removed...
  • 920....my new theme song is "All By Myself" ;)
  • Same with my 928
  • Same with my Icon
  • Same with my 8X
  • There is no Cyan for the 8X.  Just run the developer preview and you've got the latest and greatest.
  • So the 920 and 1020 are the only two wp8 yet to be updated on AT&T. If you don't notice it yet, at&t does staggered rollouts on Thursdays. So last week it was the 1520, so next week could be the 920 and/or 1020.
  • Hopefully, but don't hold your breath since at&t tends to delay on their delivery. Still being patient, on on 920.
  • They're miles ahead of T-Mobile and Verizon so far.  And T-Mobile remains the only US carrier with an 8.1 Cyan capable device they flat out refuse to support.
  • Lumia 810, the bastard child, "supported" by T-Mo for <1 year. :-(
  • Hopefully for both 1020 & 920 next week!
  • 820
  • I'd certainly like to see the update for 920 and 1020 before we head out of the country for vacation next week.  Not holding my breath, though.
  • You have the 1020 crowd to keep you company
  • 1020 and AT&T make it happen!!!!
  • +1020
  • Yesssir!
  • Lol so... Is it 920 and 925... Or 520 and 925 (pssst.. The headline)
  • NOTE The Title was initial incorrect for this article. It is the Lumia 925 and Lumia 520 that is getting Lumia Cyan. (Previous comments were deleted since this was fixed within a minute of posting)
  • Noooo!!! haha I got so excited because my RSS feed still showed 920 then I came to the site and saw 520.  Such a tease!
  • Yeah same here. It is the reason why I don't care for these numbers.
  • Awesome!
  • 820 lumia cyan update?
  • Don't worry, you'll probably have it next week before 920 gets it.
  • Just checked. It's for the 520 :(
  • Going to be a heck of a lot of people trying to figure out how to get off DP, what a worldwide headache. It was massively time consuming - like six hours total. From figuring out the recovery tool, downloading and installing it on my computer to the actual updates, app reloads, plus app password reentry - ugh.
  • You don't need that anymore Posted via Windows Phone Central App
  • Yes, you still need it for Cyan.  No, you do not need it for Update One.
  • Hoping that the next update, due out next week for DP customers, will fix the issue so I can just update DP, then add cyan whenever ATT gets around to our site the 1020
  • It will. See the article about update 1 for 8.1.
  • Yep, that's my plan with the wife's 520 wait for update 1 then upgrade to cyan.
  • You should remove yourself from the DP program.
  • Too much effort and time vs. Waiting a bit longer, yes I'm lazy!! actually just incredibly busy though and don't want to deal with her complaining I something doesn't go smoothly :)
  • Oh, that's nice. Just picked up a 520 for 40.00 for my father in-law this week. Haven't given it to him yet. Score. Ready for my 1020 to get it!
  • +520 Dev; +822 personal. Can't wait for Verizon to allow Cyan for the 822. It'll take ages for that to happen.
  • Wasn't (my) Lumia 1020 a flagship phone? ... Just asking..
  • Exactly....
  • This! I'm surprised the 520 got it before the 1020 and my 920...
  • I'm not surprised. The 520 sold more than the 920 and 1020 (probably put together), so it makes sense for them to prioritise the 520.
  • True...
  • Yes bus it's never good to treat the most enthusiastic customers as second class. Lots of budget phones are sold via high end envy, but if none of the high end customers are happy....
  • Only the hardcore wp fans even know this is happening lol I know a few people who don't have any idea this update exsists and they are my only friends with wp. I think 520 owners should get it first since it would garner a lager positive reaction overall.
  • But the profit margins on the 520 are razor thin, they made much more money off the 920 and 1020 per device.
  • My 1520 still doesn't have it, and it's still the flagship, so calm down. Eventually.
  • Dude, the 1520 Cyan update was out a week ago.
  • Not the 1520.1 one, and especially not those running DP. Not expecting it for atleast another month.
  • It came out for the ATT Lumia 1520
  • I'm using a Hong Kong CV, sim-free 1520.1 on Developer Preview. It has not come out for me, trust me.
  • Take it easy "flagships"!!! :p
  • +ICON
  • Idk, maybe more of a feature ( not in the cheap sense of low end phones) kind of like my 1520. Both have something off the wall. 1020 camera and 1520 size? Just the way I see it. Don't get all mean, I'm just asking.
  • I guess AT&T killed L1020 already!  Last week when I searched on the website for support, they did not even have it (now they updated the website).  And the fact that they take so much of time (WP 8.1 DP is already 3 months old and L1020 itself is over an year old) shows it is no more flagship.
  • This is what I talking about,I don't have 520 but I'm glad it's rolling out to the phones that have most WP sales.
  • I agree, but the France beat them to it...they had the 520 a week ago in the updatelist so my little lumie is now a little France lumie :)
  • Well to be honest att it's moving a lot faster than they have in the past. Still to slowly, but this round has been a big improvement over a year ago
  • Yay! This doesn't affect me but I'm happy for those that use this phone and carrier
  • Need Cyan for my 720
  • Then wait for it Posted via Windows Phone Central App
  • Bs about preview doh
  • I'm with you on the preview! I'm holding out for a formal fix that prevents the need for downgrade. I'm sure I'll cave though.
  • Preview gets updated next week to 8.1.1 and won't have to downgrade. Did no one see the article about this earlier today here?????
  • It vanished very quickly again for some reason.
  • Because it was incorrect.  You need to downgrade for Cyan, not Update 1.
  • I know about WP8.1U1, but how to get Cyan? The two are separate
  • Get update 1 then wait for your carrier to release cyan. Or check again after you get update 1 for cyan. No one knows for sure but that's my guess.
  • Still no 1020...
  • in time my friend in time
  • My 520 is updating now!
  • Yey!
  • Y is country variants taking time then
  • +520
  • +520
  • Installing on Lumia 520
  • great bro
  • Country???
  • It's AT&T? And what country
  • I'm installing it on my AT&T in America and it is being EXTREMELY slow, been sittign at  0% for al ong time
  • Didn't they sell more 920s, wtf!!!!
  • !%%@**, I have a &&%*&^* Lumia 1020.  When the &$(#$ are they going to release that one??  !@$!@ #$%#$% &&&&&& #%#$%#$%&&.  (I still dont feel better) Really?  925 first?
  • I know bro, I have 1020 too.
  • Though I DP on 1020 and patiently waiting for MS to fix BL issue, I'm starting to think there maybe an issue with 1020 and Cyan firmware.
  • Yeah, I'm with you on that.  All those advertisements highlighting the 1020 left out one thing: nobody was buying it.  It's got the sharpest pictures of any phone, and certainly is a high-end smartphone, but we owners are a tiny minority of a tiny minority.   I really hope this isn't like my previous experience with updates.  I've had the worst luck.  AT&T never updated my Samsung Focus S to 7.8 despite its earlier commitments.  Kind of left a bad taste in my mouth and the current situation isn't helping matters.  Just release all the updates already!  This waiting of weeks or months is just insane.
  • 1020 owners need not fret... no way they will not release for 1020. The one I'm worried about is the 820... my brother has one and he has lockups periodically on 8.1 DP.
  • I quit ATT for those reasons. They don't support WP. +ICON
  • 620 update guy's
  • Yeah I'm waiting for it too
  • Got mine! 925.
  • Hi. I'm planning on getting a 925 next week. And I'm going keeping it for a year. Should I?
  • You should... It is a great phone...
  • My two best phones
  • For the life of me, i cant understand why the CV phones have to wait for carriers!
  • More then your eyes can see
  • What did u say? 520?
  • I have a feeling by next week Cyan will be rolled out to the rest of the Lumia AT&T family. If you couldn't guess it, they are starting with the latest devices and working their way down. I am glad AT&T has been relatively supportive as being a "Premier U.S. carrier" for WP.
  • Lumia 520 king of the world ahah ;)
  • What about in India L520??
  • Will you guys please stop asking about india. It will get it when the rest of the world does. This is only for at&t.
  • थंड रखो।
  • when you grow some common sense   Didin't take long for some whiner to post nonsense again    
  • Dang........ no 920 yet?
  • The 920 has got to be next. It's the next most popular (more popular than the 925 but the 925 is newer so I'll let it slide)
  • Yes, the latest devices that were launched on this carrier received the updates first, and then work backward. The launch devices (920/820) will be the last since they are the oldest devices on the network and as far as I know aren't even being sold anymore.
  • I thought the 925 came out before the 1020....
  • The 1020 is not nearly as popular as either device so there is not as much incentive to. If they are releasing multiple devices at a time then the 1020 and 920 and 820 (820 and 920 run similar firmware versions) will be released together or around the same time.
  • I'm wondering if this is going to be like the amber update all over again for the 920. Where we wait and the whole world gets the update and when we finally received it, it was time for everyone to receive the black update.
  • Wow. Really? I honestly expected the 1020 to be next after the 1520. Oh well. A few more days won't kill me at this point.
  • I have the 1020 and cyan doesnt really add anything for us. So I dont mind waiting for it.
  • Really? Well that sucks. I had heard there were at least some minor camera improvements. Seems kind of curious though if that's the case and there is nothing in it for our handset then why wouldn't they just push it straightaway? :/
  • It depends: Will MS ever release their developer version of Cyan?
  • Come on, Verizon. Get your crap together and release Cyan for the 928 and Icon.
  • I think we'll see 8.1 Update1 before Verizon gets to us.
  • i agree with you, they'll prob wait for update 1 then roll it out to us. i guess it make sense to do both in one shot instead since update 1 is just around the corner
  • Is there any update at all on when 928 will get it?
  • No idea, both still say "under testing".
  • Does anyone know if this covers the Lumia 520 a friend of mine recently (two weeks ago) got from Cricket? That poor phone is still only on the Amber update, as apparently they didnt release Black for it.  
  • No. The Cricket Phones have different software and will be rolled out seperately from AT&T branded phones.
  • Yeah at&t. Thanks for the 1020 update. I really hope at&t will update the 1020.
  • Any update for those who have Preview installed? I really don't want to go through the hassle of reverting back to 8.0 just to get this update.
  • Yes please, and some answer that for us :/ i also have a 925 
  • The people with dp will get cyan after the release of wp8.1 update 1 dp. At least that's what a previous article said.
  • Isn't update one expected this week?
  • week from now
  • That article got deleted. You still need downgrade to 8.0 to get Cyan ir wait for a fix.
  • This rollout, CV phones wise, is a joke!
  • One more reason why I'm switching to AT&T from T-Mobile.
  • Man, where is the cyan for 8.1 DP? Plz fix it!
  • +1
  • please fix a beta?
  • Fix the update package for 8.1 DP. It seems like MS lured many users to test the 8.1 for them, and ask them to downgrade in order to get latest firmware. That's nonsense. I personally don't have a PC to run recovery tool and wont bother to do that. It could be solved by a small package of update of 8.1DP and we can download the cyan update from ATT. I am happy with DP program, and willing to try the update 1. But I somehow also need cyan to improve my camera. Please fix it, MS and MS mobile department.
  • That means 920 not far away. Wow nice att.
  • Will there be a time when you DONT have to roll back to get Cyan if you have the dev program? I don't want to take the time to do this... Again...
  • Waiting for that fix too.
  • With wp 8.1 they have to program the camera algorithms for the 1020 again and make sure they function properly. Also the chip set in the 1020 was highly modified to support the 41mp camera so just be patient its coming soon. Posted via Windows Phone Central App
  • Either I'm not getting it, or something's very poorly explained here.. Weren't the various Cyan firmwares ready and just in carrier's testing and approval?
  • Yes. All ATT is doing is testing it. All the windows phone sites have stated on the 920 and 1020 cyan doesnt really do much since its on an older chipset. No changes to the 1020 camera algorithyms have been reported.
  • I doubt that. Cyan is supposed to update camera algorithm, probably not specifically for 1020 tho.
  • What???!!
  • Wright what is the problem here. . Still nothing for 1020.
  • I guess its safe to say that the 8.1 update for the next bunch of Lumias will be announced next Thursday. The 1520 update was last Thursday as well.
  • Why do you guys at WPcentral still tell people to downgrade?
    Did you miss Joe Belfiores tweet today that by next week Developer Preview phones will be able to upgrade!
    Any comments?
  • People who are on 8.1 Dev Preview can't get the full update to official 8.1 because of errors that appeared. They have to downgrade to 8 instead and do a full upgrade then.
  • That's not what he said.
  • I briefly saw a story on his tweet this morning on WPCentral but it quickly disappeared. Clicking the original link takes you to the 8.1 Update 1 article from last week. What gives WPC???
  • Here it is, but it doesn't work:   http://www.wpcentral.com/windows-phone-81-preview-users-dont-need-downgr...
  • No, I read that entire article: Regarding the current hold on Lumia Cyan updates for those on the Preview program, Microsoft is planning on a fix for that for users, though they currently have nothing to report on the matter. So, still stuck.
  • Because you STILL have to downgrade if you want to get the CYAN firmware.  The Developer Preview is ONLY the operatings system, NOT the Lumia firmware.
  • bro Beta will upgrade to higher beta in this case Update 1 NOT to official Cyan
  • That's not what Belfiore said. You will be able to get the 8.1 update 1 preview if you have 8.1 preview installed. This is NOT Cyan (FIRMWARE).
  • Joe only promised those with 8.1DP can be upgraded to 8.1 update 1... He didn't mention anything about Cyan.
  • Begin the jealously of T-Mo 925 users!! Like me
  • /cry Me, too...
  • Yeah angry rant what the heck tmobile
  • Yup
  • They love me on twitter @tmobilehelp every day three times a day I ask the question when will we get the WP8.1 update and when will you carry a high end WP8.1 device.I even have the folks in work who have WP to start hounding them everyday.
  • Dude your my hero!!!
  • Verizon can kiss my ass! My Icon needs Cyan...
  • What does that mean"Windows phone 8.1 Update" is it the new one Microsoft just announced?
    Is it already here as an official update?
  • Its Cyan firmware with the same 8.1 that is the Dev Preview. We are getting 8.1 Update 1 in Dev Preview supposedly next week, why would AT&T release it? ;)
  • I have no idea but "Windows phone 8.1 update" means Windows phone 8.1 update 1
  • -1020
  • Why does this 925 still use less columns of tiles?
  • You have to enable the 3rd row manually on all screen below 1080p or 5", I can't remember which.
  • I know. I'm just using mine with more tiles, so seeing this picture, just feels weird.
  • 5" and above have a toggle switch.
  • Actually you can get three rows of tiles even on the 520. They are small as hell but they are still there. I' m using my backup 520 because its got cyan/8.1 and my 820 does not. 
  • I would think the 1020 would be next. Maybe something special in the way.
  • Nah, they're just releasing it sooner to newer phones and phones that sell better. 1020 probably didn't sell too amazingly, but its should be next, id guess. It did get GDR3 first, so it clearly lost priority. Well, it was one of the first...
  • Lack of amazing marketing that did it in.
  • Meanwhile on the Verizon network...Crickets
  • 520 owners are probably dancing right now. But will they finally be satisfied?
  • It's not even doign anythign on mine been sitting at 0% for over 20 minutes
  • I hope MS releases the preview fix soon...
  • Next week when 8.1.1 releases. Article was posted here a few hours ago.
  • That article got deleted as there's still no official fix to the Bitlocker bug, ie people need to downgrade to 8.0 to get Cyan or wait fir the fix.
  • I found it by searching
  • how?  
  • Typed title in search bar
  • Well damn. All their phones updated now? Tmobile has none yet. At&t are on top of it this round.
  • nah, AT&T still has the 920 and 1020 that I can think of off the top of my head
  • And the 820
  • Those will be updated before tmobile does one phone.
  • Why wouldn't it be a priority to get this on the Icon, 930, 1520 ASAP. Where is Verizon at with these updates.
  • Arrgghh! I initially misread it and thought it was for the 920 and 925 *sigh* I'm itching foe the 4.0 BT le for my fitbit. Oh well, at least my girl can get the official update for her 925.
  • Serious question, what is wrong with the 920? Is it always months behind on the updates because its a terrible phone? I had one when it was first released and it was the most unstable phone I ever had. I quickly dropped it for the 8X I also had. The other half has one though and hers is just as bad. I'm not sure if it ever got the last update and it looks like its last on the list for this one again.
  • Meanwhile, MY 920 has been stable as a rock and serves as a backup in case my 1020 bites the dust.
  • Not hard to be stable when it weighs as much as the 920 and its been consigned to the drawer ;)
  • This'll give me something to do tonight. My sons L520 took a backseat to his brand new L635.
  • Noooo!!!! My RSS lied to me! Now my wife is going to get Cyan on her 520 before my 920! Where is the justice in the world! Then again, perhaps they will implement the DP8.1 fix by the time the 920 becomes available... that would certainly make life easier than having to go through the whole down-grade process before updating.
  • It makes sense to wait. Perhaps 920 will be the lucky one to get Cyan after the BL issue is fixed.
  • The only reason I wouldn't wait is because I'd like to use the Fitbit app sooner than later with Bluetooth 4.0 LE capability.
  • C'mon T-Mobile. Update the 521.
  • +521  
  • Whoa Posted via Windows Phone Central App
  • Not in India guys..! Lumia 520
  • Who cares simpleton Only midless idiots like you need to post nonsense
  • Seriously AT&T?? I just got rid of my 520 for a 920 and my wife's 520 for a 1020...LAME...was thinking the 1020 would have been soon   But, thank you AT&T for releasing it pretty quick, compared to VzW and T-mobile
  • And the 1020, still waiting...
  • My 520 gets an error
  • Ha. I have a 925 on T-Mobile and a 1020 on AT&T. Throw this guy a bone over here...
  • 3 uk. Please,please,please give us 925 owners the update. Or at least tell us when.
  • *grumble*T-Mobile*grumble*
  • +521? c:
  • Is it available for India ?
  • Can you get a clue somewhere?
  • For 625?
  • I must say lumia cyan is moving fast
  • Waiting in India Nokia Lumia 520 for updates 8.1...
  • Waiting for you to get a clue.
  • Why you are running after indian's comments....may be you are too free  to reply :)
  • No, I will wait for update 1 for preview
  • I hope now its the beginning of update for all 520 over the world :)
  • So if I have a unlocked Lumia 925 with a active AT&T SIM in it, will I get the update? I never understand how this silly system I supposed to work when unlocking is factored in.
  • No, you need to wait for the country variant version. This is for the AT&T branded version, which I assume is product code 059T0B7 (RM-893 VAR NAM US ATT SL BLACK)
  • I guess the 1020 will be next.
  • My wife and son have T-Mobile 925 on AT&T network. Let's see how fast T-Mobile moves on this.
  • I would expect TMO to release it tomorrow or at the max Monday for 925. 
  • I have a 925 on T-Mobile. There are many great things about their network, from cost structure to better call quality to Wi-Fi calling, but timely updates and Windows Phone support are not among them. I would be very surpised if T-Mobile updates the 925 in the next month, even by the end of the summer would surprise me. Since they don't even sell the phone new anymore, I'm hoping they don't just end-of-life it like the 810.
  • I can wait for GDR 1 because I do not want to downgrade just to upgrade plus my 925 is not my daily driver. Looking forward to trying 8.1 with Cyan though. Posted via Xperia Z2
  • C'mon T-Mobile hurry it up already!
  • Hurry up t-mobile..... AT&T is showing you up
  • Wait, but I thought i just read an article saying that the dev preview people will get their update automatically next week...?
  • That's upgrading to another dev preview called Windows 8.1 Update 1. That has nothing to do with the Nokia Lumia Cyan firmware update. This release by AT&T is the Lumia Cyan update w/Windows 8.1.
  • Finally Lumia 520 the most sold device running Windows phone has got the update, I hope the cyan hit Middle East for Lumia 920 & 520.... Congratulations at&t owners
  • So much for 920 being a flagship device! When cyan does come to my 920, I am not downgrading. I have grown accustomed to waiting.
  • has anyone heard when the images will be available on the nokia software recovery tool? I'd rather start with a fresh image than go through the update/data migration...
  • I find that picture intriguing, can you really put a qi charging cover on an ATT 925?
  • There are wireless charging cases for the 925, yes. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/productID.283836700?...
  • Yes, they do exist, but will they work? ATT only sells a PMA one.
  • I think your charging base would dictate which cover you'd choose, and maybe the phone doesn't care?
  • To everyone with a 920 & 1020 ... Stop complaining. ( PS I have a 1020)
  • My 920 is updating now from ATT
  • Someone verify Please ???
  • What's up with the 1020 being last?
  • By the time they get to the 920, I'll probably be running the DP8.1 with GDR1 preview.
  • This should also include the GO Phone L520's I am going to assume, although I switched my L520 and my L635 to a post paid AT&T account.
  • Is anyone using the Cyan Update app?
  • It's useless if it gets its data from Microsoft's outdated Cyan tracker...
  • Plz Ms fix the bit locker issue.i don't want to downgrade.lumia 820 user here.
  • Hey! Someone have the background of this article?
  • On my phone, its a black background.
  • Anyone getting update on the L520 Cricket?
  • These staggered updates are driving me insane.  Carrier "testing" needs to be eliminated.  Comcast doesn't decide when my PC gets updated, neither should AT&T be able to hold an update to my phone.
  • To many people like you don't get it. It is about accountability.  If Microsoft updates your PC and it crashes the next day would you call Comcast?  If Microsoft updates your phone and it crashes the next day who would you call?  You would call your carrier and say warranty this.  There are to many parties involved to not have carriers test the updates.  Microsoft does not want to assume all responsibity for warranty claims because a lot of the time it is a hardware problem and that should be on the OEM Samsung, HTC, ETC but if it is a software problem the OEM shouldn't have to take responibiltiy for the issue.  So that means there is only one common point where you can turn for support and that is your carrier.  Support is HUGE cost too any company especially if you have a bunch of companys pushing out updates that cause people to have issues and call in using your support teams time and then you have to ship out replacement devices on your own dime.  And lets face it there are many updates that have had problems so I can not blame carriers one bit for wanting to test as it helps protect them from huge expense that is not their fault.  Before you say well Apple does it that is because Apple is the hardware and software so they can provide a single support point for their customers and have an agreement with carriers that they do no have to provide any support.  That is why if you call ATT and say my iPhone isn't working they say sorry call Apple.
  • Took the comments of out my mouth
  • Confirmed on the 520
  • Okay so im confused. I have 8.1 DP and want 8.1 update 1. Is it okay to get Cyan now with the 8.1 DP and still receive update 1 next week?
  • Cyan is a firmware, so it will not be included with Update 1 next week. However, phones with the preview may get Cyan next week if MS fixes the Bitlocker bug (and resumes Cyan updates for DP phones) when they release Update 1 on the DP program.
  • Too late.Already moved back to Android.WP is useless.
  • come back and let us know when your Android updates to the latest firmware/OS update....
  • Hahaha :) nice one
  • Okay.
  • K, buddy just let us know when you get an update, in case you get any. ;D:P
  • Again 920 I am a loner
  • Ahh. I guess I got the preview version on my 920. No Cyan for my 920 I guess. Why do they make this so difficult? It is not easy being a WP loyalist...
  • No love to the 1020.
  • How do I downgrade?
  • Read article and follow link
  • Well I know what I will be doing after work today...Downgrading my phone and getting Cyan!!! 925 ATT Wooohoooooooo!!!! Hopefully anyway.  
  • What about the 930 & 1020 on AT&T? :o
  • Wonder if and when those with unlocked handsets will get updated? I'm using an unlocked Tmo 925 on Cricket.
  • Waiting on cyan for my 02 64gb Lumia 1020, does anyone know will treasure tag work on 8.1 do gdr1?
  • Need some Verizon love...
  • wat you have deleted the article,about the tweet of joe belfiore about dp getting update 1 or downgrade wat does update 1 comes with cyan its realy confusing
  • That tweet didn't say that MS has fixed the Bitlocker bug. Therefore, the article got deleted. You need downgrade to 8.0 to get Cyan or wait for a fix from MS to the bug. Cyan is a firmware, not an OS, so the Update 1 comes without Cyan.
  • Yes sir
  • Hi, just to let you know here in UK EE network is rolling out the 8.1 update.
  • For which devices?
  • Sorry on the 925.
  • So my 520 gets cyan before my 920 and 1020 does. And the best part I don't have the preview for dev on the 520..
  • Wtf, WPC told us before that when you update to 8.1DP, you wouldn't have to revert back. Told us no problem...now we have to, greaaaat
  • Jealous! (Damn you, Verizon!)
  • When is the 1020 getting it
  • So I guess this is what happens to us EOL 1020 owners eh....nice...it was just about a year ago that we were considered important..wow that changed quickly. Not sure of any other 1020 owners but I am waiting patiently hoping Cyan fixes my now broken camera that is unable to focus/zoom without being blurry since all the camera updates under 8.1 DP...anyone else have those problems with a 1020 and hoping it gets fixed?
  • I have the same problem with camera focus
  • Lumia 1020 please!
  • I guess I'll downgrade from the developer preview once I get home. Been waiting for this for my 925.
  • Getting it as I type!!!! FINALLY!!!  
  • nice, i hope verizon is around the corner with theres. i just saw a video from phanearena comparing Android L to WP8.1, to me as always not everything was said about WP and Android was presented to be better. the guy said Windows may not be better than Android but it does what i do well, not the exact words but ull understand when you see it.
  • Dafuq Verizon?
  • My 920 is still waiting AT&T. Hurry up already!
  • The new heading says 520 & 925,why whine,won't help just got wait
  • Only for US REGION GUYS ?
  • Do you have AT&T in your region?
  • Just so you know, the article headline shows updated in the feed, but the site header still shows it saying 920/925.
  • salut a reusit cineva sa faca actualizarea la Cyan si 8.1?
  • If I download the update, How will I get the WP 8.1 Update 1?
  • Not all by yourself,I feel the same missionsparta. 1020 over here
  • Finally thanks, better late than never
  • Please release for all of Africa!
  • -1020
  • When will Philippines get an update
  • When you get a clue
  • I'm from Philippines
  • Yay does anyone care besides the mindless?
  • I didn't download the developers preview. This update is a very big change for me.
  • So, Verizon will release the update for the Icon sometime in Q1 2015?
  • ATT!!!! 1020???? what's the delay? I've been checking every 2 hours since they released the updates for 1520!
  • Be careful. My Calendar (built in) app doesn't work!
  • Still no cyan on "muh Belgian CV 1020" rabble rabble rabble!!
  • Just to be clear, is the WP8.1 Update 1 bringing the fix for DP to normally update to Cyan? If not, I have some downgrading to do now...
  • I am having two issues after installing windows 8.1 on Lumia 520 - 1) Battery saver shows as installed, but can not be launched or updated. Due to this, I can not change any battery related settings from Cortana. 2) All the push notifications - skype, whats app, kik have stopped.It might be related to first issue. Anybody else having these issues?
  • Guess what? Likely 620 would be the last again. Since 520 and 625 have been getting Cyan. I wish 820 were the latest one to get. Lol. (520&720 are the latest to get when Amber, and 620 in Black)
  • .....Lumia 1020 keep waiting
  • 1020 waiting :( :(
  • Interestingly enough, CyanUpdate app still shows "under testing" for my US AT&T 520....
  • Funny thing about all the whining is after this update is done it will all start again for GDR1, then the update after that then the next... Why don't people just relax and wait, the rollouts are ALWAYS slow, but they get there eventually making all this stress absolutely worthless, cos you're going to go through it again soon enough....:)
  • Is it country variant
  • I bet this are like the 'one of the posts that gives lots of happiness to the authors'. People will stop bugging them for the update for 520.
  • Will this apply to Cricket too? I am about to buy an ATT Nokia Lumia 925 and use it on the Cricket network and I know they use the AT&T towers
  • Installed the update! Finally got everything rolled back and updated, ugh. Really like the new live data logos.
  • Hope to come quickly,AT&T Lumia 920
  • Me too! Two days with 8.1 DP on my L920 and the battery is horrible
  • I assumed that id have to put an AT&T SIM card back in my L520 to get the update. I downgraded to 8.0 and I am in the middle of updates no with no SIM installed
  • Got both updates. Something is wrong though, my battery is not holding as much of a charge anymore. The 520 is draining pretty quickly with 8.1.
  • How are those Verizon rollouts working out????????
  • Anyone know if the 920 will get the update today even if i'm not an AT&T anymore? I moved to AIO, which is now owned by AT&T, so i would assume it'll be there. I don't want to go through the trouble of rolling back to 8 if i won't even be able to download the update. That would be an epic fail.
  • Guys hello I'm not from US CAN I GET THE UPDATE
  • ....Still waiting with my Tmobile 925. Congrats to the lucky AT&T Lumia owners.
     
  • What about the 820 ?
  • Well, I'm from Germany, I own a 925 and I've got my cyan update WITHOUT downgrading it! Idk what your problem is
  • Ok I have the 8.1 for developers installed on my phone. I know That its my OS, but I am running Nokia Black along with it. I am just worrying that I wont get the Lumia Cyan firmware update as I have preview for devs on my phone. You cannot downgrade from 8.1 preview for devs, I have even reset my phone and its the same when reset completes. I love 8.1 but I would like to in a word have the full version or finished version and not be using the preview or "beta" version. Just want to have the full experience of my windows phone along with Nokia's cyan firmware. Just a little confused.
  • Of course you can downgrade, I did it. With the Nokia software installer program on your computer.
  • Guys can anyone tl me that is it available for 520 or not.. Cause my phone is showing u r up to date
  • Yup, done, but you have to downgrade to WP 8.0 first, or maybe not if your not on ATT in the USA.
  • What's the point of cyan, if it's just firmware and DP phones are getting update 1?
  • I bought my 520 from AT&T but no longer have an AT&T sim in it. Will I still get the update?
  • Ofcourse... Its all about Firmware not Sim Card... Your device have att firmware...
  • Still waiting for my 925 T mobile device to get 8.1
  • installing update on my 520 now for AT&T
  • A bit slow on 520
  • Performance wise
  • Anyone else having issues with store downloads tonight after the update? Maybe just overloaded....
  • Where the fuck for 620??
  • Finally!!
  • Err Guys, the snapshot preview on the Carousel on the website reads "920 and 925 on AT&T finally get cyan and 8.1", made me check the Nokia Update tracker and got my hopes up dammit :P lol.
  •   I had DP and used Nokia tool to restore to 8.0 on Nokia 520  Everything went fine, but it does remove cortana until update 1 hits. Didn't see anyone mention this.  You do get swipe keyboard etc.   No biggie. its just a toy 2nd device to watch app selection ...   
  • I want to update OS but want to keep same CREATIVE STUDIO....How can i do it? any way??
  • When does the 920 go?
  • I hope Cyan update for Lumia 520 in Indonesia arrives sooner.
  • Is there any difference between cyan update and DP8.1? I mean feature-wise or any known bugs that are fixed !
  • Still no 8.1 update for my wife's 920 here in thailand :(
  • If I'm on preview 8.1....can I update directly from phone updates to cyan
  • Nops...preview for developers users didn't getting Cyan right now...only update 1 they will get for Preview for developers
  • Is Hard Reset necessary after updating to Cyan??
  • nice,even Lumia 520 have WP 8.1 and HTC 8S with totaly same parameters no...
  • Dammit, when is 920 finally going to get some lurve...
  • Okk..tysm
  • honestly, I want that wallpaper :D
  • How come Country Variant phones take too much time to get the update. Been checking everyday but all I get is the 'Your phone is up to date' update, and it doesn't even show the change log or anything. :(
  • FINALLY! some Nokia Lumia 520 news!
  • Waiting for the country varient for 520
  • Plz tell me this update come on India yes or no...
  • I had to roll back from the Developers Preview, phone was kinda buggy here and there, not to be unexpected with running a preview. Used the Nokia recovery tool. It rolled back to W8 just fine. As soon as i did that and updated it all, The Cyan update came through no problem. Backup restored everything and now I'm rolling along. Love my Windows Phone  
  • I was not going to bother with it but I had some time last night and rolled back and updated.  It took a lot longer than I thought it would.  About 2 hours to downgrade with nokia recovery tool and then update.  I waited till today to reset up everything.  I like to start fresh and not use a backup.  So far so good.  Although I do not have a brighness slider on att.  Still have low, medium, high for brightness.  
  • I installed the Cyan Update on my Lumia 520 last night (took maybe 5 hours to downgrade from DP8.1->8.0 and then install Cyan + 8.1 and restore my apps; not sure of the exact amount of time since I went to sleep) and have been playing around with the phone for a couple hours upon waking this morning.  IT ROCKS! So much snappier than when I was on DP8.1 (+3 updates), which for me was stable but super laggy. Input is now instantaneous, and I rarely see the "loading" and "resuming" words. It's at least as snappy/responsive as when I first got the phone with 8.0. This despite storing apps on a (Class 10) MicroSD card now. Even xBox Music is a joy to use now; I'd say it's as fast as the old Music Hub now with all the functionality I was used to (and without the duplicate tracks as in WP8.0). The device is so snappy that I am no longer thinking of upgrading to a new Lumia 635, which I tried in a Microsoft Store a couple weeks ago. It's going to take having a front-facing camera to get me to upgrade now. (In the meanwhile, Nokia Glam Me for selfies works pretty well.) This has given my colorful (red) 520 new life. Thanks Microsoft and AT&T!
  • India 520 users r more than all the 520 users put together
  • I didnt got any update. Using Lumia 520 India
  • Read this article's title, woke up my 520, checked updates and... Downloading!
  • Can anyone tell me tht is it possible to update your phone (to say cyan) using 3G???.. Or is Wi-Fi mandatory?
  • Nokia's own page listing availbility by region is often out of date. Still shows many models as "under testing" even after the update has been released for some time.
  • officail updates of lumia and latest and breaking news of all lumia devices at.. http://geekthem.com/
  • that it for me with this DP, once the cyan update comes out for my att 920, im removing the DP version, run original, an no more playing God with my cell........ too many issues, updates, downgrading, blah,blah.  
  • I just completed downloading cyan/WP 8.1 to my  at&t Lumia 925.  Cortana was not included and does not show up under apps list under setting or anywhere else.  Can anyone tell me how I obtain Cortana? 
  • I have Cortana on mine.  
  • Has the wpc crew heard anything from tmobile? They are just dragging their feet here. They have the 520, 920, 925, 1020, 1520...is 1320 one of theirs as well? So just about their entire line up is done. Tmobile still hasn't even announced cyan rolling out to their devices. And they only have a few...925 and 521 are all I can think of since they are screwing the 810 again.
  • I tweet there page every day @TMobileHelp they don't care I'm done with them, not on contract just waiting for the next flagship WP phone buy it out right and go prepaid there service not good in my area and the wifi calling feature not working good either.
  • Got tired of tweeting them and getting a "watch this page for info" response. I hate the wifi calling. If its on at all, it screws with sending pics or opening ones sent to me and causes them to fails until its off again.
  • My battery life is way better now that I have cyan
  • How is the battery life and over all performance ?
  • I am not geeting the update....in India...
  • Hey Dudes , I have a lumia 520 . Yesterday I downgraded my phone to windows phone 8 , and now I can't install Cyan . Please help me . Daniel said , that it's for all lumia 520 phones, not for only at&t
  • Just downloaded it in my 520 still waiting on my 920 but the upgrade is SICK!!! AT FIRST CORTANA wasn't working but after messing around with the new features for a while she came around. I ask her if she b in halo 5 and she said " didn't u c halo 4 " lol yea but we don't know if u really died! But n e way two thumds up
  • could some one plz help me  out  i  rolledback a  long while ago and  been  waiting fore ever for  cyan  ......im wondering if  i go back to preveiw  if  i  would  still be  able to get the ota update  whenever it come out  .......
  • why country variant take much time please launch in india
  • Awesome, now I can look forward to yet another week of reading articles on WPC about how awesome Cortana is and how funny it is if you ask such and such a question. Brillant market retention strategy too with choosing to roll out Cyan last to the 920 crowd. I mean who cares that the bulk of them have their 2-year contracts up very soon.
  • Can someone please share the wallpaper from the picture, or at least lead me to the app that creates this wallpapers? Thanks!
  • I cant get the 8.1 update on my Lumia 520, when i check for updates it says my phone is up to date.  Is that normal ? My cousin has the 8.1 update on the same phone ( lumia 520 ). Please help me, this update look AWSOME !! :P
