[drtolson]

Apparently, Lumia 900 users on AT&T are getting new firmware to address proximity sensor and purple screen issues.

Hopefully Rogers will push this out soon too.

If we go by the last update, we are looking at 1-2 weeks away. Hopefully that's not the case

Yup expect 2-3 weeks of wait time unless some magic happens 😉

Things I'm reading from comments about the update, generally people seem to be very happy with it.

- Purple tint on low brightness definately fixed so you can set it back to Automatic

- Improved Response on touch screen

- Improved Camera

Nokia Said Rogers will be getting it as well: here is more info.

Cmon Rogers.....just because we all aren't posting on here doesn't mean we don't all want it. 

At least give us an idea as to when it will be available.  If AT&T customers are getting, it we should too.

[gorebashd]

Mebbe if we posted every day they will hear us lol even if we are like Horton hears a who

[vieagle]

we are here, we are here, we are here, we are here:)

Hmm, kinda makes me want to buy a AT&T phone then unlock it to use on Rogers...cause then I'll get updates quicker:)

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share a quick update.  We can confirm that there will be an update for the Nokia Lumia 900. At this time we are currently waiting for Microsoft to provide us with the update to validate. We’re aiming to provide it by the end of July.

[gorebashd]

is that the Nokia firmware update or the Tango update 8337? Or both Nicholas? Just curious.

[drtolson]

Vieagle...don't count on it.

The reason I bought a Lumia 900 from Rogers (before my contract was up for renewal) was because I got tired of waiting for AT&T to update teh Samsung Focus S to 8107.  As far as I know, they STILL haven't sent it out.

[StephenWagner7]

So Nicolas (RogersNicolas),

You're telling me, that the update that AT&T pushed out 3 weeks ago to correct the Purple Screen issue (and numerous other issues), is going to take till the end of July for Rogers?

You mentioned that you (Rogers) are waiting for the update from Microsoft?

According to Microsoft, Nokia, and as quoted by Nokia's President of Americas, they provided the update to Rogers at the same time as AT&T which was more than 3+ weeks ago... They have all said it's out of their hands as Rogers needs to approve the update to roll it out...

Did someone at Rogers not open the package or e-mail with update information? Could you get in touch with whoever internally handles Windows Phone as Rogers and find out what communication they have missed from Microsoft or Nokia as obviously the person handling WP7 updates at Rogers has dropped the ball...

[gorebashd]

So the 710 & 800 start rolling out tango today yet we don't get clear answer on 900. Only at&t and Rogers did not ship 900 with tango. Worldwide it did. Would love a clearer answer

[Mayoo]

According to wpcentral, Rogers lumia 900 customers are starting to get the new firmware first followed by the tango update. I am out of country so I can't confirm this yet.

[Anirask]

I just plugged mine in and got nothing.   It's telling me that 8107 is the latest.   I'm thinking that WPCentral got some bad information.

Also, Rogers getting anything faster than AT&T on this phone would surprise me greatly..

[gorebashd]

Me either. Same with my 710, and Focus. I think it's misinformation this time.

[mii]

On the contrary...

I got the Tango update yesterday; it installed two updates one right after the other and im now up to date. The updates are being released in batches I believe.

The update did not update the firmware however, it was strictly a software update...i'm still hoping for that firmware update soon..purple keyboard so annoying..

OS Version: 7.10.8773.98
