Microsoft India says Denim to be on all Lumias by the end of February

Lumia 900 owners rejoice! :) :P

So I can get it on our old 800.

Lumia 800 is a Windows Phone 7.5/7.8 OS and it does not have the required hardware for 8.1. Denim update is only for Windows Phone 8.1 users.

Ooh, so the good ol' Lumia 800 will finally rise from the dead? Good news, thank you! /s

Don't expect it on a Lumia 800.

Unless your carrier disavows any knowledge of your phone.  My 810 can't even get Black.

Well my 810 that has only Amber has something to say lol

Well dev. Prev user like me just exited the program .! And since the dev. Prev and denim have no changes just after exiting the Lumia cyan changed to Lumia denim :) therefore m having Lumia denim in India on my 720 already XD

Should be all Lumias that carriers feel like updating.

Indian market is not controlled by carriers.

It will be "all lumias running WP 8.1"

Not what the article says. MS India has back tracked and now says 8.1 models.

As an icon user I remember when they said 8.1 will be rolled out in summer. 6months later, jerks at Verizon finally released it so I don't have much faith in these kind of statements.

Good for them!!

So late

Not as late as AT&T though. You know, Nokia/MS exclusive partner here in the US.

I don't understand why OS updates have to go through the network provider to reach the user of the phone. What's the logic behind that?

Some more fantastical dynamic stitching type of shit.

1. I believe it’s something to do with the band frequencies of the carriers network(s) and the handsets to ensure compatibility, otherwise it’s useless. 2. Could be some sort of control mechanism over the consumer after the purchase, idk These are my best guesses, i may be wrong though Thank God for no carrier interference in India atleast

It's not logic, it's business. Welcome to reality.

What business? Carrier or MS business? Because my 820 is country variant, no specific carrier, but I still don't have Denim..

It's like how your broadband provider has to approve firmware for your modem before you get it. They want to rule out the possibility of a bug causing unneeded network traffic is probably the most logical answer (if we're being generous to their intentions).

Not to mention, carriers need to clue up their support staff (Not that many take any attention to what they are reading off manuals on their screen).. As people don't call OEMs for support but their carrier. If MS had the support network and had stores around the world it would be another story entirely.

Atlast...;)

+Lumia 1320

Even i am waiting for my L1320

Wen in india?

Read the article.. Feb end

You should ask:"Why in India"

Do as the Indians do..

I got it!.. It should be "when" instead of "Wen" :p ..but in india some people invent their own language..LOL

Indians do invent their own language like Hindi, Urdu..just saying..!

I know brother ..i'm also an Indian! ..please don't mind :)

Everything fine mate..cheers!

I feel your sarcasm has been wasted

Wen on AT&T? lol

I am still laughing minutes later. So much win.

Daniel Lumia 532 released today here in India for 6499... Pls publish the news here...

Damn, that's so cheap comparing it to the MOTO e and even the 435. MS better drop 435 to 4.5k else its a flop

Yeah the camera is the biggest turn off at that price

But it's not available for lumia's preview for developers

Its already available
Unless you have 1520 , 930,830 its not
Just go to the app , un-tick the box and hit done and then go to extras and info it will show denim instead of cyan ;)

My 535 already have denim update.

It was released with denim update.

Wen in India lol

I love that. It makes me laugh every single time, baby

When in Pakistan? ;)

2019, may be?

LOL! :D

Soon I hope... All phones are unlocked here anyway so it shouldn't be held up any more.

What is pakistan? :P

Lol. Proper funny. We will still get it in every article after this one though. Wen in India?

Wen in Kazakhstan? lol

Att I'm waiting on you +1520 probably then we can get the windows 10 tech preview too

+1520

Battery in windows 10 is the most feature MS needs to take care, especially for Lumia 1520.

What about lumia 925 is cortana and hey cortana will be there in lumia 925 denim update??

Did you read?

Cortana will be there but hey cortana will not be available as it requires certain hardware(snapdragon 800)

Do you even read bro ? XD

Bruhhhh......

Hahaha 'Wen in India'

Everyone keeps saying "Wen in India?" so I thought I should throw in a seems faster.

They mean in India only

Oh thank u Mr. Rubino :):) but like others I have the same question. Will it come for those who are on preview for developers?

Same question... Cause I own a lumia 520 and on preview... But still haven't got the update... Unlike the article says

Yes.

What about Lumia 720??? Does it have any changes like folders in start menu....

Of course, all Lumias will get the OS features only firmware features changes based on the model!!

No need denim, give us 10 or 8.1.2

I have Denim, but I want 8.1.2 for the additional language support (BN-BD) I don't want 10 at this stage. /just saying, ikr this is not a proper reply.

Still waiting for my Hong Kong Lumia 1520 to get denim. Taking very long. Who knows how long I will have to wait for windows 10

My sister has the same phone from HK. While I thought hers is going to come before mines since I had a Lumia icon. But I'm pretty sure it won't be long, cause windows 10 is coming soon.

"Lumia Denim update is like a glacier melting, slowly but surely happening." Daniel, I'm a fan of your writing style. This clearly justifies that how much you are eligible at what you are. You simply inspire me. And BTW, thanks for the information. You guys at Windows Central update me when I don't have the time to check twitter. Thanks again.

np, thanks for reading!

Me too, many of his metaphors are clever and hilarious!

I'm going to hard reset my 1520, after installing the preview for developer, my microphone is acting up. While on speaker it just doesn't work. I cant record any audio note nor send a voice message on whatsapp, viber etc...

Will hard resetting solve the problem? My 1520 with preview for developer after the denim update is also acting up. The camera sometimes fails to launch which is embarassing when i want to show it to my friends. But the most annoying problem is the accelerometer. Veeery slow to respond to movement especialy during games.

Well, it worked for some people, I hope it's not an hardware problem. it doesn't make any sense to me anyway...

I did the hard reset thing, it didn't work, but i'm surprised I got finally got the update for Lumia Denim

Sigh, so no need to reset, just wait if windows 10 will sort this out

I'm already having fun with Lumia Denim on Lumia 630 in India. :)

How?

Gud question!!

Probably developer preview.

A question: Lumia Denim gives the ability to swipe to hide the virtual navigation bar on 630, right?

But from preview for developer u only get OS 8.1.1 updates no denim,right?

Same question here

No that's not same with 630, nav bar stays on all the time.

Sign up for Windows Insider app for W10 for phone tech preview and check for update, there would be 2 updates (1) showing Performance and Stability Improvements (This is Denim if the phone runs cyan).
(2) W10 tech preview for phones (if want to give a try).

No 1 iz interstd in denim... We all need win10

Speak for yourself!:)

+1520
Am so eagerly waiting for Denim, nearly desperate :-)

But I have the Lumia denim update since January 29th..... Though the Microsoft page says the latest software release for Lumia 525 is cyan..... How could this happen. In relation to this is worth mentioning that I got my cyan update on my Lumia 525 three days before the actual release via Lumia software recovery tool.

My 525 has cyan, am waiting for denim, is ur region set to India?? I hv bn checking for updates everyday but no luck yet!

Yes it is set to India.

If you use preview for developers and you are enrolled in the program(box ticked), you'll see denim in extras+info, otherwise cyan on all phones other than the 520. Some bug with the OS. My personal experience. Lumia 525.

It's the opposite for me! :P
I just unchecked PfD and voila! I'm on Denim!

I unchecked developers preview and just then found the denim update.

What is the size?

Don't know..... It was automatically downloaded and installed.

Cyan in my 525 here but thanks to windows inside I'm up with Windows 10TP.

What! You got win 10 tp for 525?

my 1520 PH variant is waiting... =)

635 received new firmware with Denim. Not just OS.

Please tell more

http://forums.windowscentral.com/showthread.php?t=339081

Seams not true

What about Lumia 925??????

What about reading the article?

Tired of waiting!!

MS is late by 2 month to their promise.

No sign of it on my 525, 520 got it 2 months ago

It says 520 on this country is available but once I check on my mom's phone it doesn't find it... I wonder if it's because I installed the preview on that phone. but I will wait to see if this week it appears and can be installed.

Check it with both preview enabled and disabled. Or your phone might be another country variant just sold in India. It happens. My Lumia is the Chinese variant, but got it in Pakistan. :)

Att s**k my ****

Tell me if it is unlocked in all countries please

That depend on your carrier!

Already have denim on my Lumia 820

Really?? i tried in tooo many countries but nothing! where are you from??

I remember reading somewhere that there is an extras+info bug that says your phone has denim if you have a specific build or newer. Therefore, for a phone that does not need firmware updates (non pure view phones), some phones on developer preview may show that your phone has denim. I'll let Daniel verify this.

My Belgium L1520 indeed says it has Denim, but I assume it doesn't because Lumia Camera 5 still tells me to update.

In two - two months new updates are delivered , customer buys phone for updates only is this a jokes , microsoft is embarrassing it's reputation . ...two months Before cyan , now denim , and then after few months windows 10 will be delivered. .. fuck off microsoft , all the famous social app are in beta version no official youtube app , looks like a 17th century phones , made a mistake by buying lumia.i better should gone for an android , I should kill my friend who promote me to buy wp by telling me fake adventures story of lumia , it is this it is that .. Posted via the Windows Central App

Facebook..Twitter do have official apps .. Coming to you tube go n complain your fav Google for not permitting MS to have an official app ..being said that there couple of best third party apps with lots features for you tube!!

Did you use the Android Twitter app? If you want apps get an iPhone. Btw, Cyan is Nokia's mess

Yeah ! U should have chosen lagdroid over WP and we too get spared from your shitless nonsense. It's not upto MS to release official apps. Its totaly upto google developers to release an official app for WP . Plus MS is the only one who let the consumer test the early build and who actually listen to their consumers.

Yes there are lot of problems with Lumia many apps are in beta stage and remained as prototypes since ages.. Example flipboard,mx player vlc and many more, no Bluetooth received folder for file managers, there is no better video player none of them reads all folders... Lot of app gap, lacks many games, no voice recording app as they say Lumia have rich recording, action centre is not impressive as android, music and games are a mess after 8.1 update, lot of delay of updates, no sd card support for flagships, most of the apps and games are clones rather than official app....

You want me to send a link to buy iPhone or lagdroid? Walk yourself out of this community pls :\

I joined that club .can't even sell this 630 no body wants them 

It's not for pure-view, otherwise even 925 should get it. Camera 5.0 is just for 830, 930 and 1520. For rest everyone just stripped out Denim. Nothing hyped. For me, it's just better IE. Live folders and rest is crap.

L 920 is also a pure view phone. Will it have the denim update with the camera 5.0. ?

No, please read the article.

So late

But I got Denim over a month ago in Lumia 620!!

+1520 finallyyyyy

I am already using Windows 10 Technical Preview in my Lumia 630 DS . Its quite stable a bit buggy but still happy with lots of new features - inbuilt file explorer , camera 5 ( earlier Lumia camera ) , in photo gallery layout , full screen background wallpaper etc.

No denim.. now we want windows 10.

Don't we want the GDR2 first?

Finally. Hope you stay on your words

I want Lumia Camera 5 so bad!! I have an 830 on Rogers in Canada and the wait is killing me. Hopefully soon!

I wish Microsoft Colombia cared as Microsoft India care for their users.

We'll see. Also still waiting for denim update for lumia 1520 in the Netherlands. Almost all the other phones have the update. It should be about time now. Was hoping it was here a week ago, so that I could use the use camera features during a ski weekend. Unfortunately it didn't. Fingers crossed.

Skiing is next week for me, still waiting indeed. Also from the Netherlands.

It's not about firmware anymore (for older phones) it's about having the latest OS ready when you do Recovery Tool, for example. If I needed to flash my L920 I'd have to go back to Cyan and then use PfD and update several times before reaching Denim...

^^ this I agree with.

520 is not hey cortana ,, why ??

Coz cortana woke up by only rich hardware voices :D

Neither did ur reply nor did his question made sense.

Snapdragon 800 devices get it due to hardware support. He asked why the 520 doesn't have Hey Cortana...

Was it that hard for them to speak straight?

520 does not have the high-end hardware necessary to run Hey Cortana.

when will it be available in croatia for lumia 530?  

Lol. When in India. My investment in 1520 will come to fruition now! Next in line. Windows 10!

HTC M8?

Lumias are better! (and nobody knows when that phone will get the update)

When is DENIM coming to India?
:p

Continue delaying MS for u to lose more customers to IOS/Android.

Yes they make lot of delay and they loose all the customers day by day

Yep

I dont get why waiting for any update would drive users away. Only the hard-core care that much! I on the other hand can wait. I was an iPhone user for 4 generations and updates are what drove me away! I tired of ever two years the new ios killing my phones. When apple releases a new ios they say it can run it so I updated... Did I expect all the new features, no but when it bricked my phone or made it too slow to use, I felt I HAD to upgrade. MS can take their time and get it right, I want my 1520 till I decide to buy a new one, not when they decide to brick my phone!

It's halfway Q1 & haven't received Denim yet. Ugh

Yeah it's ridiculous

Belgium L1520 still waiting :(

I thought Microsoft forget about Indian Lumia users :P

Guess I'll send my L1520 to India to get my damn updates!!

Or change your region maybe?? :P (if not Carrier locked)

It released for 520. Mine is still not receiving it.

Anyone wanna bet, that there will be at least one model that will receive Denim update after feb 28, in india ?

That's great :)

My lumia 730 came with Denim

Hope this stops the random "where's denim for x?" comments... Won't hold my breath though

Dude give it up that'll never happen, because everyone still doesn't have it.

What about AT&T?

You'd have to ask AT&T about that, they are dragging their butts on the ground right now. They only say the magic word soon when you ask them on Twitter..

No sign of Denim on my Lumia 830 on EE (UK) :( I mean the REAL Denim, with Lumia Camera 5

Who cares for denim when wp10tp is on the way..

Daniel, no 'Hey Cortana' feature for Lumia 830. U shud change it.. Posted via the Windows Central App for Android

Y not?

Snapdragon 400 is on L830. And 'Hey Cortana' requires Snapdragon 800 or more.. Posted via the Windows Central App for Android

I'll believe this when I see it. L1520 RM-937 with no signs of Denim in sight.

Does denim fix notification center issue? I mean whenever I try to lift up the notification center it does not work properly, that is i have to touch the bar it self then lift notification center up.

How about the fix the fix for crying out loud

Waiting waiting

My 1020 needs lot of fixes

F**K it! Press the button to rollout the udpate to ALL Lumia devices now! There are around 50M in total! Such a small number and it takes months to rollout the updates. What if there are over 10 billions? 2 years?

I have it on my 635, and the most noticeable change is the addition of folders on the home screen, and the live tile for battery saver added the percentage below the battery icon. Very smooth so far.

Fingers crossed....

Also please bring hey Cortana to all the Wp's

It only works on certain new processors, so not possible.

I did a reset last week and got Denim in my phone. Extras + info shows denim

But some days ago my friend get the update of Lumia denim in his Lumia 625 I have the evidence of that... How it can be possible please any body tell me how it can ne possible.... Windows central can u please tell me ??

It's some kind of bug if you updated via preview for developers.

I tipped this to Windowscentral about 5 hour ago..kumar C

Ok thanks, take your cookie here.

So, what does 'Hey Cortana' feature needs to work, SensorCore or S800?

S800

That's more like it

Lumina 1020 is still king for natural, non hyper saturated and sharpened pics. Denim is overrated.

Guys please tell me...denim will give on screen button hide option to my Lumia 530?

Too bad this isn't for Microsoft USA..

Wen in US?

Are there no imaging improvements for non-Pureview phones? The amount of time Lumia Camera takes to go from Launch to Shoot is too long. :/

This might sound stupid. Heck I'm pretty sure its a dumb question.
Will the Lumia 730 sick already rubbed on the Devin update get anything further with the official release of Denim later this month?

*Will the Lumia 730 which is already on the Denim update get anything further with the official release of the Denim later this month?

Yes, it will also recieve an update as it has in other few countries. It will be just a firmware update with some stability improvements for 730. I am also waiting for so long for this update for my 730 as my lumia has some stability and wifi issues. Hope it will arrive soon.

Oh that's great to know! Thanks a bunch man!

I think Microsoft is same as Modi coz always show dream, both r not realistic, I have been waiting Lumia Denim since last year (2014).

???

?

What should I say,when this type of wording given earlier I was too excited,should I be happy now or we have too Wait yet

We r waiting too much enough, Now, time has come to raise hand ✋

Yes! Brother :D ✋

✋

✋

&&%₹₹

Not all lumias 810 wont see Denim.

Good news... My Lumia 920 will be running Denim when I move to Windows 10 :-)

Seems faster

Slowcrosoft

Lumia 630 got denim a few days back in India. My brother's phone got it

Kuch bhi :/

Just not 830?

didn't t-mobile say only 925 and 630 would only get denim. So t-mo 521 520 and 810 are out of luck.

Hey.i hv installed win 10 technical preview after that I reset my phone to go back Lumia denim 8:1 update but nothing happening I want to install my previous version what the procedure to roll back

Use Lumia recover tool latest version.

There is Windows Mobile Recovery tool, download and install on pc, connect phone with USB, Recover phone.

@Daniel...
When do you think Denim will be available in US particularly for the Nokia 1520? Thanks

MS seems to be too busy launching it's new handsets everyday. Instead bring the updates soon MS. Every week we get to know of some new handset. MS should start competing with other OS instead of launching new handsets & lose the value just like what Samsung has been doing :P

Hurrayy !!!!

I'm still waiting for denim for my L930 in South Africa. Hope it's being release here soon.    

Extras and info says I have Denim, but I never updated..... Strange

Lumia 630 does finally gets graphic equalizer in Denim update:)

Just look in the Availability Latin America page: Is a shame!!

I'll buy an Iphone or Android if my 830 doesn't have Lumia Camera by the end of the month. Tired of the slow pokes at Microsoft fooling their customers and doing all that shit. What about you guys?

Well done

But am in windows 10 preview

Then enjoy :D

The thing is the official update brings up the build to a certain number but that build is already released via developers preview hence if you uncheck the preview program the extras+ info shows you are running denim update. The build number doesn't increase with the official update because it doesn't bring anything significant that isn't already there in the DP. So you are already on denim on Lumia 520,620,720,820,920,1020,925,etc. Exclude all the devices that doesn't improve camera:)

Two month wait for 630 CV uk .i want to go back to ok google I see Cortana on the 635 its sad

How many new phones do you want to release .bring out Cortana and the world will join .if you build it there will come

Damn you AT&T
Release the freakin' update for the 1520 7_7

Microsoft really testing patience of indians

Samsung is releasing at least 25 phones in a year,Microsoft not releasing even 10 phones in a year.

Finally

What is so special about India? Why do they get all the great stuff so early ?

Well....they use to own Lumia,and theres still a major Lumia plant there

Same here bye bye lumia android I am back

Congratulations, you deserve an award for switching back to Android, you'll greatly be missed.

Yeah! Now this one's good . ..... . But eagerly waiting for windows 10 for my 1520

Guys, I'm having issues. Denim was downloaded on my 520, but it "couldn't be opened". Error number 8018830f. Happening every time. I brought this up in the forums as well. Anybody else in the same boat?

I got it a few days ago on my 735

What about Brazil? My Lumia 630 is still waiting for the update.

u guys sure it's ALL LUMIAS (from 800-the latest model to date)? Or is it all lumias running wp8-8.1 OR was this news feed suggesting all lumias IN INDIA??!!

Yes Lumia 5 on a Lumia 930 is ridiculously awesome. The wait was worth it. For all those who hated on the 930 for not being a true "flagship" eat my shorts. Its a beast. I don't like instagram but the awesomeness of Denim and the 930 have got me to start an account called drg_foto (http://instagram.com/drg_foto) for anyone wanting to see photos from my 930 :)

Great news

For Lumia 920 I have to wait

Good in march im going to alibaug and with my 1520 with denim on it I will have some amazing pictures

Finally :)

I'm a 1020 user I'm not able get camera5 and hey Cortana features is this is true???

Yep

What about Lumia 625s.??

Idont see anyone mention Lumia 625...wht will tht phone's fate be uh..??

So I will get Cortona alpha in my mob!

No Cortana Alfa in denim updates but you will have to change the region for the same

To enable that should I changing my region to US?

WTF Microsoft Denim very very late in India. And you are already planning to release Windows 10. But when rest of the world and India gets it. On 2017.? 2018.? 2019.?

Denim update available for Lumia 1020 ?

When in Pakistan ???

Surely if it is releasing in India then Pakistan must be soon. You're practically neighbors!

Now they are stared playing with peoples feelings .. really not good ! :( 

I still didn't get it for my Lumia 520 in India

Fuck!!!!!will anyone tell me wht about lumia625?? Jiat reply u as!!₹;;holes

What can I say... today is 03/01 and... well... nothing... 1520 CV Latin America...

I wonder if it will come at all to 830 in Russia. The official schedule (http://www.windowscentral.com/ext?link=http2F%2Fclkde.tradedoubler.c...) doesn't even have 830 in the list, although it's sold here officially. A friend of mine has one, it actually tells it's denim, but there's no camera 5.0. Googling it up shown that it's some kind of "prerelease" version.

Still we didn't get denim for some of models in india.What about the word(end of febrauary) said by microsft?
