Nokia Lumia 920 '1314' firmware available on Navifirm, signals approaching global release

By Rich Edmonds
last updated

The 1314 firmware update for the Lumia 920 is already rolling out on AT&T in the US. The update wasn't previously listed on Nokia's Navifirm server, but now reports have come in that the much anticipated fix is now listed and will be available for the Windows Phone in other regions.

So what's included in the 1314 firmware update? This is what we noted from the AT&T rollout:

  • Improved automatic display brightness adjustment
  • Fix for intermittent screen blanking during a call
  • Improvements for connectivity issues in certain network conditions
  • Performance and stability improvements

We'll bet Nokia will begin rolling out the new firmware to hardware in multiple markets shortly (if you've not already received the update alert).

  • In spain, with an unbranded Lumia 920, we are still waiting the 1308 update...
  • Same here in Malaysia :(
  • Is this update going to fix the constant shut down on my lumia920? I just used this phone about a week and it has been shutting down by itself for 5 times now. So frustrating! Otherwise, it's a great phone.
  • Same in Norway
  • I got a update for my L920 in Norway, downloading right now! (Telenor)
  • Just search for Updates. I done it on Telenor.
  • same in Mexico :(
  • Belgium still left behind too. Nokia :|
  • I had 1308 since it release in Belgium, unlocked 620.
  • 920 here ... not sure which operator you're with. I'm Telenet?
  • I have Base but my phone is unlocked from vandenborre.
  • I got my 920 from VandenBorre (unlocked) and I'm using it on Mobile Vikings but it came with 1308 preloaded...
  • Same for UAE phone...
  • update available for UAE Lumia 920, installing now.
  • Same in Singapore
  • Same in UK........
  • I got 1308 on unbranded phone In uk
  • 1308 in the UK on O2.
  • 1308 on orange UK
  • Same here Sweden.
  • And same in Finland!
  • Same in Brazil...
  • Can't you just download the Nokia tool and force the update??
  • What tool?
  • It's a bit annoying if all settings are lost. Although I did have to reset once and it didn't take that long to restore everything. I feel safer doing it the easy way tho.
  • Same in The Netherlands :'(
  • Same in Denmark ;(
  • Awsome, let me correct myself. Just got 1308!
  • Same here, in the US with an unlocked Puerto Rico 620 :/ gonna write to Nokia, maybe they'll have an ETA
  • Rolling out in Sweden in a manual search.
  • Indeed!
  • Ok, I just got 1308, From Mexico,   :D
  • Yesterday, 22nd april, I got the 1308 here in Sweden on my unlocked Lumia920. At last I got ridd of the anoying black screen when calling. Heureka!
  • Since 1308 wasn't really released globally, will this update include the storage fix ?  I believe most of the regions out of the US never installed the 1308 (at least I never got the update) and will be skipping this and jump right into 1314. My 920 and my friends 820 will need the storage fix bad. 
  • Exactly, no 1308 for Lumia 920 from UAE region. Still waiting impatiently. I hope they just give us 1314 directly (with storage fix).
  • Updates in WP are cumulative so they may skip 1308 all together
  • I just got the 1308 update for my UAE 920 and finally got the storage check :)
  • Mine is also downloading some update (1308 probably). Thanks dare2blink for the news :-)
  • I just received the 1308 update last night...920 bought in UAE but living in Lebanon...check again for updates
  • Just got the 1308 today (not 1314 wtf...) and there's the Stoage check option but it doesn't really help with the "Other storage". It does give you info on which apps takes up most "App data" so you're left with deleting it or not. You can clear Temporary Cache's but not much of help. I was hoping big improvements on "other storage". Although there is no problem with the 920, 820 user's have been out of storage for quite some time now, and there are only 2 (TWO!!) games installed. Photo's, media files on SD card. TWO games and a couple of other apps have filled the whole damn phone already with the "other storage" taking most of it.  This isn't acceptable. 
  • Rich, I have a curious question: I've long had the 1314 firmware update which was to address the 1308 update issues.  Is this a newer version of the 1314 update or what?  If it's just the same, why a repeat article or break this all of a sudden when it's long been out?  I'm using an AT&T locked that I purchased from my AT&T store on day one.
  • If I remember correctly this is a newer version of the same update that doesn't have the issues (radio connectivity) that the earlier one had that's rollout was halted by Nokia.
  • Well they 1314 of yours was for ATT only before but now it's global. Hence the word global in the title and not ATT
  • Because USA is not the whole world :-)
  • I want 1314 for L820 !
  • We dont even have ota portico update yet in Malaysia.
  • Hahaha don't talk shiitte Yu mean 1308 tro*&%$#
  • I can concur with Gouboy Sun as my 920 which I bought in February did not receive the Portico update (v. 1249) either up till this very day. Malaysian unit as well.
     
    And after reading about 1308 and the current 1314 update being available, it's no surprise why Malaysian owners are hopping mad with the way how Nokia Malaysia is pushing out the updates, which is maddening to put it lightly.
  • Unfortunately, hes not bullshitting. Nokia Malaysia doesnt even release the portico update yet. Most people update it manually or got to the care centre and lose our data, saved games, etc. Start new.
  • Send emails (a bunch) directly to Nokia...
  • I have the newer on att and the connectivity is better by far but I am seeing a bit worse battery life
  • Wish to get it soon for uae unlocked lumia 920
  • Yeah, same here. Even 1308 has not yet arrived.
  • 1308 available for UAE Nokia Lumia 920 now. :)
  • Same here, still waiting for UAE Lumia 920
  • Same here!!! Lets Start a pétition for people who bought their phone from the UAE! :P
  • Nokia just Block Navfirm n Data Suite lol, no way to get firmware
  • also never get the '1308' update but hope this will be visible soon.
    What i see most important is customizing the OS, a file explorer is a must have for every phone. improving the IE with more features like incognito,download box for mp3/4 files or every kind of files i don't care if those files aren't compatibile with the device just save them! install some motherf#cking unsigned apps or cracked who cares, even the Symbian was better on customizing the system. Proud of my L920 but WINDOWS PHONE needs really to work hard for that, othervise people may switch to Android or iOS, and i don't like this i really hope WP will improve some things and add more cool stuffs!
  • You're better off just getting an Android. WP (and even iOS) is meant to be kept simple. That's why it works smooth.
  • no i never went for an android or ios, always a nokia user and that's why i said it must be customizable ( WP ), Symbian from nokia was perfect until wp came on, just a few more things to be included is not a bad idea but a complete operating system. Im here because im a wp user and really impressed by smoothness as you said, not trying to throw wp away.
  • The old days of having complete access to everything is probably gone for the time being... Older versions of Windows Mobile and Windows CE mobile gave you access to everything but there was a smaller foothold with Smart phones back in early 2k but now millions use these and giving everyone complete access would only cause more harm then good! Just my two cents!;)
  • UCbrowser can store files
  • Update: Nokia Firmware Repository access via Navifirm is blocked now!!

  • Crap!... With OTA update very long delay for each country and now they block navifirm?
     
    I'm not using OTA since nokia N8. Flash by my self better no need to wait long~ long~ long~~~~~~~~~~~~time.
  • thats what i say earlier lol
     
  • Unbranded on AT&T, my body (and phone) is ready!
  • Already got 1308 here in Indonesia, with the other storage function. Hope to get this update soon
  • I wish there were an update to fix that dust in front of the front facing camera.  You see that stuff?
     
  • For that you'd need a 'hardware update' :D
  • Lol. I just started getting dust in mine. Super annoying I know. Though I heard blowing an air can into the headphone jack might work. Haven't tried it though.
  • Blow hard into the seam near the Nokia logo, where the Gorilla Glass is joined, it helps in clearing the proximity sensor thus fixing the blank screen during call (even after disconnecting) issue.
  • Did it remove any dust from the FF camera?
  • i think no, actually didn't notice.... however, although my FFC is quite dusty, people on the other end of the line say that they get crystal clear pic of mine while video calling on Skype :D
  • no trace of the 1308 firmware update here in Spain with an original unlocked nokia 920
    but i have the storage cleaner available and running
    i think this 1314 will be there  in december 2013
     
  • I dont think so.. a more realistic deadline for this update is Christmas of 2014..
  • You guys are thinking of Android, this isn't that.
  • It was just killer sarcasm. By that time Lumia920 will not even be supported by any affiliated vendors (MS & Nokia)
  • Will this fix the freezing issues with some Lumia 920's ?
  • I need this update SO badly for my Rogers Lumia 920. If I had hair to pull I'd be pulling it out everytime my signal drops to no signal. Failed sms' everyday.. missed calls going straight to vmail because of frequent signal drops. LTE is chugging.. Live tiles and toast notifications are hit and miss. Even my Xbox avatar is on strike and refuses to wear the clothes I put him in. For some reason he prefers his generic Xbox t-shirt over the Superman costume. Hate that 1308 update with a passion.
  • I just got this update, on Rogers.
  • http://wmpoweruser.com/public-access-to-navifirm-no-longer-available/?ut...
  • I'm scared my battery has gone REALLY downhill since the 1308 update like its 10 am here and I woke up at 7 and its already at 60% and I've barely used it with battery saver on. Anyone else? Lumia 920
  • No battery issues for me personally though I've some report battery problems.
  • Any chance the 810 seeing this update?
  • I got this update last week with AT&T here in Kentucky...
  • I've got 1308 to my Lumia 920 in Peru.
  • UCbrowser lets you store mp3/4 (this should be an answer to FloRenc Sinanaj

  • Just downloaded 1308 and installed.
    Telenor, Norway
  • Woohoo! :D
  • Romania again, Vodafone branded, imported from Germany. Update received. The storage+ section is classy as fudge and the fix for mid-call-screen issues practically gave me a new phone. Thank you and good night!
  • I've had this update for almost a month now on AT&T
  • I got the 1308 update, took 20 minutes. Everything is running great, storage check is awesome!

  • Vodafone UK 920 - just got it :-)
  • Its Available for Lumia 920  in Mexico (Telcel)... or something else am at work with no wifi and just 50% in my battery
  • Yes!!! you can do a manually search!!! I just updated mine (Telcel, Mexico)
  • I have been waiting for this update for a long time. I have the problem with the screen blacking out during the call. I heard from some Lumia 920 owners in the States that the update fixed this issue. 
     
    The update is now downloading. Hope it will solve this issue! 
  • 1308 on unbranded in Sweden, around 30min from start to finish. Love the storage check, just over 7GB extra storage for me. Now let’s hope the auto brightness work again.
  • Did you have to uninstall your current apps that took up most space? Is
