Lumia Cyan update reportedly rolling out in Thailand

If you're using a Lumia handset in Thailand, start checking your device for the Lumia Cyan update. While there isn't an official confirmation yet, we've been hearing that the update is being rolled out in the country, starting with entry-level handsets like the Lumia 625.

Last week, Microsoft India tweeted that users in the region would be receiving the Lumia Cyan update sometime in the second week of July. Several markets, including Spain and Finland, have already started getting the update as part of a pilot program.

The Cyan update is set to bring a host of features that include an updated Creative Studio app, Bluetooth 4.0 LE support, ingrained display controls and much more.

What are you looking forward to the most in the Lumia Cyan update? To know when the update would be available in your country, be sure to follow our topic page.

Thanks Guy for the tip

And we got tired of ads and commercialisation.. (IPL anyone?) So hence, here you have a big bunch of people who use Windows Phones and simply love it..

  • At least you got news that you be getting it at the second week of July. Some places have no or incoherent news.
  • Lol
  • Actually, more like a 10th, not really half.
  • Truth: It can be found in this comment.
  • Nice, so few WP phone owners = such a small piece of the world population.
  • Actually, I didn't mean by half of the world population, I'm referring to regions.
  • Could have worded it better then. ;)
  • Sorry, my fault.
  • Any news for the UK?
  • Nothing yet. And people say droid and iphone are bad for updates.
  • Android, yes, iPhone no, they only have one phone they gotta worry about
  • And the whole world goes settings > phone update lol
  • Yep, I did, ..well, I'm not the world, but like a sheeple, I did.
  • I did! I just can't help it. :p

  • Bro you are not alone
  • +1520
  • +920
  • He's not alone when on the toilet?
  • I too have checked update in toilet and by changing region to Thailand

  • Fuck what a conversation
  • Hahaha.. Come on guys
  • Any news for India???
  • Somewhere around second week of July
  • For all models or For just some devices?
  • Obviously for some devices Lumia 1520,1020 & 925 are dam getting it who knows Nokia may surprise us.
  • Yeah i know but keeping in mind the situation of nokia and Microsoft i dont think the will surprise us.
  • I am not sure which Lumias will get the Cyan update but 1020 and 1520 are surely in the list.
  • Still Cyan not release in India
  • Wonder how long AT&T is going to make us wait. Lumia 1020 here, and I pity those with 920's on AT&T.
  • @SwimSwim, why do you pity those with the 920 on AT&T? I'm one of them.
  • Look up the story for Amber update.
  • Waiting for india
  • That OS update bricked some HTC devices on tmob and it was pulled for a short time. While they may have taken a while longer, it didn't brick your device. Black was released by at&t very quickly.
  • Hoping by end of July we should get the update
  • Ah the year of the Amber update on ATT... Lol. I ended up flashing my 920 with the French version; here's hoping its different this time. +1520
  • Waiting in the UK for it
  • Pilot update means?
  • India abhi bhi intezaar me hain..
  • Yeah bro ;)
  • Right...

  • Aamin to ur duaa..
  • The new Nokia camera app
  • Come on July first week is gone. Hope it comes by this week in India. W8ing eagerly
  • Yea I check for updates like every 1-2 hours
  • Same here. Be it store or phone updates I check them hourly :D
  • Hourly? To u gotta be kidding,I think you mean hourly once you're awake
  • What's pilot update?
  • It's for pilots
  • LOL
  • Pilot update is like testing the update before the final launch. Checking on small number of devices.
  • When it will be available in middle east?
  • For those who ask about rolling-out in other countries: 1. Soon; 2. Ctrl+C; 3. Ctrl+V Ctrl+V Ctrl+V Ctrl+V Ctrl+V Ctrl+V, everywhere Ctrl+V.
  • Soon
  • Any news for Philippines? -920
  • I have been checking My HTC 8 X for weeks now knowing there is no WP 8.1 update yet. But, You never know, thats why. Keeps me busy.
  • I hear it'll seem faster when installed ;)
  • It'll seem better after the Cyan update
  • Indonesia in waiting list
  • I've been reading about this Bluetooth 4.0 LE crap since the amber update.
  • Odd that an update is on Sunday, but good news either way.
  • But it is still Saturday in some parts of the world
  • Some? More like most parts of the world.
  • Here in India still its Saturday
  • Is it confirmed on Sunday i.e. Tomorrow?
  • July and no date's have come forward for U.S carries.This is going to be one slow rollout.
  • Any news about HTC and their release of 8.1?
  • No bro no news about HTC
  • Maybe if I change region to Taiwan I will get it sooner :D
  • Unless and until HTC don't release for your region you won't get it :( instead keep checking for the update on your device and on wpc :) update can happen anytime :)
  • when updates for lumia 920 Indonesian region . impatience
  • Keep on checking the update in setting you might be the next to get cyan
  • Oh another article about updates for Nokia phones & not a single peep out of HTC. Come on HTC my 8x is waiting on a firmware update as well.
  • Its great that places like India, Thailand, Finland etc are getting 8.1 aka Cyan now, but what's taking Canada so long MSFT? We're right beside you :P
  • 8.1 aka cyan .. o.O
  • Pakistan is waiting
  • + waiting...
  • What about Ireland
  • HTC should get their stuff together... 8S and 8X are waiting!
  • The UK is waiting!!!!!
  • 1520 seems update to Lumia cyan after 930 launch
  • georgia is waiting
  • Am using developer purview will I get cyan??
  • Yes bro..
  • Thanx @UchiHasmit
  • Yes
  • Probably last ;)
  • yeah ... you will get it for sure
  • Oh....Cyan is so close ! Can't wait
  • Me & my 1520 are waiting.. Hope it solves the long irritating touch/click problem which seems limited to this model only.
  • +1520
  • Battery life as well. +1520
  • Rolled back to the official commercial release, happens less often now.
  • India,Phillipines,UK,Middle East,Indonesia,Canada,Pakistan,Ireland and Georgia..i hear.. are waiting.. Any dates???
  • No specific date..+ Pak
  • Meh. No one from Thailand is here. And they suddenly have the update
  • Point to be noted
  • Noted
  • Indian always appreciate Nokia devices!
  • Cambodia too...
  • Cambodian? It's like 3% (WP) to 97%( Android+iOS)! I rarely see people hold a Nokia or WP devices. Some people even say WP users are dumb :@ and I'm the one who've been treated like that, anyway I just love WP. I'm a Cambodian too
  • Waiting for Cyan on my L1020 and 1520 :)
  • Gief cyan plox
  • Waitngggg...+720
  • Ctrl+v(soon)...in india
  • Do let us know when it's available in Malaysia!
  • Sabah is waiting !!!!
  • What about Thailand neighbor Malaysia?
  • Pls update 520
  • India people. Just be patient.
  • Oh, we're waiting for Cyan on our devices. 2x920, 1520. All running Dev Preview so far. Sweden will probably gate it late even thou our carriers don't give a sh!t about the updates. They don't even touch them.
  • Are you seeing battery drain on 920.
  • I do. My 920 last around 5 hours when using 3G continuously then 8 hours with regular usage. =(
  • Ffs. Charging battery and its red hot.
  • Same here. I get really poor battery..
  • I just hope the Cyan update would fix this. My 920's battery last a whole day before updating to devs preview.
  • I doubt it. Ive had battery replace 3 times now. There is either cheap batteries or a serious hardware fault. it would be better to charge phone in off mode, otherwise we are just toasting batteries
  • Update: Seems in my case a pop3 email account is jammed on sync.
  • how to update to cyan if you're running on dev preview ? un-enroll PFD ? then ?
  • hey...when indonesia
  • be more patient bro, still waitin'
  • I must say that considering the length of time 8.1 preview has been around I'm a bit disappointed in the time it is taking for Cyan to be released. Bit that's Nokia for you I suppose. Anyone who once owned one of there Symbian phones will surely remember how painful the update process used to be
  • More painful on wp. Rebooting, data migration, update, reboot, update migrate reboot. Etc
  • And its around 13 times the same creep.
  • Nope, I disagree. Windows Phone updates are a lot less painful. For instance there was no backup facility for Symbian, therefore no automatic restore.
  • Cant find a restore on wp. Otherwise I would roll back to 8.0
  • I live in Thailand.  Nothing yet for my 1520...
  • Looks like there will be no cyan update in the first week of July in India...Its already Saturday ...So let us hope MS rollout cyan update from the starting of second week...
  • Apples success lies partially in steadiness. M$ goes up and down, left an right. Never sure.
    Why rebrand a successful brand?
    Why make it part of that uncertain changes.
    Bravo.
  • Do I need to change the region ,its currently on usa to enable cortana ,now do I need to put the real region for update ? Posted via Windows Phone Central App
  • Well if u live in thailand and has 625 then u r ready to go....if not wait for the update..
  • If not, move to Thailand and purchase a 625. Then you'll be all set.
  • Best comment of day :)
  • You dudes don't die for 8.1 becoz coz me, cortana is not comming this year and that is the very interesting subject I enjoy in preview for devloper.......
  • Waiting for official rolling in india
  • Oh come on! Why can't those on dev preview just all get it!
  • Ok, India seems to love WP alot;-)
  • When MS release wp 8.1 next week in India will it be for all the model starting from 520 ?
  • I'd like to know where in India all these WP are, as I recently spoke a well known Mobile shop owner and who says its all about Samsung & Apple in the Gujarat...no one wants to know Windows
  • Come meet my friends circle here at Mumbai, in group of 10 people 8 have windows all on dp 8.1 :) all waiting for cyan

  • Still waiting for Black in Mexico...
  • Waiting for black????...0-o
  • Wahaha....
  • Do u ever check for updates!! Black!! Stone age!! Waiting for 8.1 in Pakistan.
  • ohhhh man....
  • Are you serious???
  • When we will get 8.1? with this cyan update or cyan is just a firmware update?
  • Only firmware..
  • Cyan is just a firmware but it obviously comes with the 8.1 OS.
  • Ok thanx :)
  • Bored freekin waiting for it tbh, talderons soon was about as accurate a guess as Joe blogs, my inside tip is windows 9 is soon, why the crap Microsoft cant do a decent job of advertising its update schedule and keeping its users informed is simply baffling, this update is the same as all before it.. A shambles
  • I thought Bluetooth 4.0 was already bundled with Lumia Amber update, so why is it listed again as a new feature in Lumia Cyan?
  • Because thats the only way MS can list some kind of featurelist if they try to lie, or otherwise said to distort the reality.
  • Hey friends! Please vote for my idea if you like this.

  • Go and get it from Jupiter
  • I purchased a unlocked 1020 online,live in Caribbean and mine shows Singapore country variant,guess i gotta wait until that region gets cyan to update mine right?
  • Yep
  • They are not the same. One is a firmware update, another is an OS software update. Cyan should ideally happen first to ensure optimal user experience on WP 8.1
  • You'll get all the updates together...like the three updates you get for the dev 8.1
  • Nokia Lumia 620 is eagerly waiting
  • Is there a link to check the status of Cyan rollout around the world, like what Nokia did with the Amber and Black updates?

  • Some say update wil be rolling out on 10th in INDIA
  • +720
  • Waiting for Cyan :( My 920 is facing serious issues with 8.1
  • And it will face the same issues even after cyan. There is no way it will solve all your issues, especially if you didnt describe what kind of issues you had. Do you expect mindreaders working in Nokia, so your non-disclosed issues are mindread and be fixed?
  • Start to chk for updates tonite in India may b u wud b surprised .
  • Seriously....so soon
  • I said u wud b surprised tha dz NT mean u WL gt an update .
  • But its official will be in next weak any day.

  • Waiting with my Android phone Posted via Windows Phone Central App
  • I wonder when African countries will be considered for the update
  • Think it's worth flashing to a CV from the rogers rom?
  • If you all are that desperate, just download the Dev version....no different to the real deal
  • The will b many differences for sure . If not more few for sure .
  • Don't do it m, we are getting massive battery drain on 920.
  • Nokia's site doesn't even have a cyan update page like they did for the black update
  • Microsoft is answerable
  • Thrz both like Nokia now friends . I feel sad thnkn tha thou .
  • They told me to speak to Nokia
  • I got it in in Thailand with a Thai Lumia 625. You need a device from Thailand, changing the region will not work. For my 720 no update yet.
  • What about Americaland?
  • India-we are waiting and just listening. Lol.
  • MALAYSIAAAAAAA

  • Vinod, is your IE working smoothly? I mean when the last of the IE is closed, it does not fade smoothly. It just bothered me a lot when the install was fresh. I am kind of used to it now. :(
  • Yes.....smooth.....and after upgrading to wp8.1.....i never used UC browser......bcz IE11 is full featured....
  • Waiting for my Lumia 920. I hope with Cyan update Internet Explorer is smoother. I am currently on Developer Preview.

  • I have lots of Indian friends in my workplace.
  • That's nice for you. Do they ask you when cyan is going to be released all day?
  • I guess they wont be asking but instead all of them would be checking their luck with the update
  • No. They don't care.
  • I have no idea which country to switch my phone region to just for WP8.1.Think im gonna try Afghanistan lol
  • I heard changing region won't help. Just be patient and you will get it eventually
  • @elshehri,thanks bro
  • Dears, Cyan firmware update and Windows phone 8.1 will be released after iPhone 8s is available in the market. Be patient ☹
