How to Install Windows Phone 8.1 Preview for Developers

1. When will this coming? Still not coming to my phone.

2. Now Check it.. its live now

3. It has started rolling out. It will take a minimum of 1 hr for complete process.

4. Does WP 8.1 preview runs on 525 without any issues. Ashish help me

5. is this avilable in india for lumia 520

6. I’ve installed WP 8.1 OS on my 720… Now mobile performance is really worst..
   It takes much time to get photos loaded.. There r many drawbacks.. Many apps r not opening at all..
   Battery life has been dropped drastically.

   Now how can I improve my lumia performance ?? :(

7. “RE: It will not damage your phone or cause any issues.”

   Refer to Section 7.c. at http://dev.windowsphone.com/en-us/develop/devpreview:
   “YOU AGREE TO WAIVE ANY SUPPORT FOR YOUR WINDOWS PHONE FROM THE MANUFACTURER OF YOUR WINDOWS PHONE AND MOBILE OPERATOR OF THE NETWORK THAT YOUR WINDOWS PHONE WORKS ON. YOU AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RETURN YOUR WINDOWS PHONE TO YOUR APPLICABLE OEM, ODM OR MOBILE OPERATOR.”

   I am not entirely convinced that waiving off support for the phone is a healthy choice for the regular mortal user.

8. If apps are the issue, then the migration is not proper. What you can do is to install any new keyboard or language pack from the settings. This will force an update which will rectify the app issue. Well, regarding battery performance, check the new Battery app and moreover this is a preview and we cant complain much as this is not a forced update.

9. Well, cant blame them. Some operator which have phones in contract have this issue of warranty and support. But this will go off once you install the final version.

10. This will run on all Windows Phone 8 devices, but be warned that this is a preview build and you might see issues. So if you are ok with it, you can install.

11. Hey Nirmal, I have updated my lumia 520 twice to windows phone 8.1 using the same steps. Still the phone is not updated. need help.

19. I have extended warranty of my phone. And suppose, I install the windows 8.1 OS in my Lumia 520.. It is likely to void my warranty. But once the final update is available from Nokia, will I be able to install that update and again be covered in warranty ?

34. Hi guys, I have a Lumia 1320 and have registered for developers preview. I’ve signed in through the developers app and enabled preview for developers. My phone updated one step which took a few minutes. But it is still on WP8. Each time I tried to check for updates I get this error “we are currently unable to check for updates (80072ef1)”. Please can someone help me get through. Or is the preview for developers not available for all region? NIGERIA in particular. Thanks.

35. Seems like you only have the first update which prepares for WP 8.1 update. I will suggest to keep checking on it. MS might have blocked it.
