PC Suite or similar to Lumia 800

Hei,
When I (we) can get an similar software as PC Suite to Lumia phones?
The Zune is made for recreational use not for business purposes.
I NEED a functionality to:
- write SMS messages using my PC,
- Maintain the phone/address book via my pc
- Ability to save and back up everything on my phone to PC not only fancy music and pictures
BR Simo

Hi SimoAh,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum!
While Windows Phone does not support sending SMS via the PC you can maintain, edit and backup your contacts and calendar(s) by using the web interface for Windows Live through a browser, Microsoft Outlook (using the Outlook Hotmail Connector) or Windows Live Mail (which is part of Windows Live Essentials).
If you wish to keep your data on your PC the easiest would be to install Windows Live Mail. Once installed you log in with your LiveID which is also used on the Lumia and your contacts, mail and calendars will all be synchronized between your Phone and Windows Live Mail through your LiveID. Changes to either the Phone or in Windows Live Mail will sync automatically without the need for any further interaction by you. This will also work wherever you are as long as you have access to an internet connection. Changes made 'offline' will be updated as soon as you connect to the internet.
You can find more information on using either in this post.
Hope this helps, let us know how you get on!

  • The most systematic analysis of Lumia 800 battery ...

    Hi, don’t mean to be arrogant, but I’ve read many threads, forums, posts etc.  There are tons of info, someone tried a table, etc. but no one has attempted to summarise the relevant parameters.  So here goes:
    1.     I have a Cyan 800, bought locked at “3” UK, then unlocked.  It’s beautiful and makes iApple UI look, well, jurassic or geriatric in comparison.  The screen is so beautiful that I switched the thing on just to marvel at the ease of reading the glorious white on black (real black, not grey) and I am smitten by the ascetic aesthetics of the UI that put function over form (I simply can't stomach the saccharine animation of Apple, it is an eye candy for a while, then becomes bothersome, at least to me.
    2.     Initially, I noticed that the battery life was not great, but it did not seem disastrous, and I read all the gleeful Apple worshipping media trying to fan the battery issue, but I thought that it was a storm in a tea cup and just the usual attempt to put-down any competition to Apple.
    3.     Until a couple of days ago I noticed that I have less than ½ charge after only a few hours off the charger without really doing almost anything.
    4.     I panicked, read as much I could the forums, etc. (including probably the most technical – XDA-Forums) but got there only one real advice, the “diagnostics” mode (dial ##634# - I also downloaded an App (called Diagnostics) that does bring you straight to the relevant page without the need to “dial” the ##634#).
    5.     I then tried to see what was draining the battery, I stopped 3G connection and “presto”, the drainage stopped and I thought that I resolved the problem (at least for me, there were clearly problems with a certain hardware code, see below).
    6.     For one day, the battery was very durable.  Even though I had some reasonable With-Fi browsing and calls (GSM, not 3G), there was more than a 1/3rd of the battery left after about 20 hours of the last charge.
    7.     Then, today, the morning began very well (in terms of the battery), it was losing less than a few percentage points every hour.  I used it for light browsing and a bit of Bluetooth listening.  Them my 7-yr old played some X-Box games for a bit, but the battery was way above 2/3rds.  I then noticed that the phone was warm even though it was not on.  Initially, I thought that it was warm because it was on my body, but then I noticed very fast fall in the battery level.  Check:
    a.      the 3G again, no it is still off
    b.     wi-fi and Bluetooth off
    c.      I even checked what Apps were in the background (though I know that it is NOT draining)
    d.      - nothing helps, the drainage was high, even when the phone was closed (i.e., not used).
    8.     There was nothing I could do, until I shut the phone down completely and switched it on again.  Then, the drainage returned to the “good” level, i.e., a few percentage points per hour.
    9.     So bottom line, I think that there was something going-on “in the background (that is why the device was warm even when closed) – the problem is that this seems to be intermittent/random and very difficult to put the finger on what causes this problem.  I hope that Nokia resolves this problem and not only the “low” battery capacity (see below) that Nokia acknowledged.
    So after this long intro, what do I see as the “hard-points” here? The most important parameters for the story seem to be in the following screens:
    1.     “Diagnostics” (##634#) “Battery Status” screen;
    2.     “Settings”/”Systems”/”about” screen, have to press the “more information” button;
    3.     “Settings”/”Systems”/”battery saver” screen;
    4.     The battery icon and its remaining capacity representation on the main screen.
    The “Diagnostics” (##634#) “Battery Status” screen:
     It seems to contain the following info:
    ·       “Charged” – seems to display ALWAYS the figure “65535%”;
    ·       “Voltage” – seems to show figures of between 3.700 V (i.e., volts) to 4.1 or 4.2 volts
    ·       “Current”, followed by “charging” or “discharging” and the current, usually between 130 mA (i.e., milliamp) and 500 mA.
    ·       “Full Charge Capacity” – showing different figures for different people, usually between slightly above 900 mAh (i.e., milli-Amper-hours) and slightly above 1,500 mAh.  Although in this should logically be a fixed-for-ever, or at least in the short term level, the figure seems to fluctuate slightly, see below for more detail.
    ·       “Remaining Charge Capacity” – clearly the most important parameter, showing the remaining mAh in the battery.  Although in theory, the level immediately after long charge should be equal or very near the “Full Charge Capacity”, in practice, it almost never is (remember, I take this not only from my case, but also from numerous reports that I got from the various forums), see below for more detail.    
    The “Settings”/”Systems”/”about” screen, the relevant info items:
    ·       OS version – it seems that the latest one (as of late dec 2011) should include “7740” in it.  apparently, Nokia promised some respite from the battery bugs in this “7740” update, but from what I read in the forums, there was absolutely no difference.
    ·       Firmware revision number – interestingly, the firmware revision number includes “7720”, though I am not sure what it means.
    ·       Hardware revision number – this ends up with “xxx.3” or “xxx.4” – as below, I wonder if this is a different OEM factories designation, but it seems to me that it is the “xxx.4” that has one type of problem (low “Full Charge Capacity” of under 1,000 mAh).
    The “Settings”/”Systems”/”battery saver” screen – what is relevant for us is under the “battery information” – you must unplug the phone from charger to see three lines:
    ·       “Remaining battery life”: supposed to be between 0 and 100% of course (though in this context, calling it “remaining battery life” is misleading, or at least inconsistent with the “remaining charge capacity” of “Battery Status” screen.  Perhaps it would be better to call this “remaining charge”
    ·       “Estimated time remaining” – measured in hours, in my case, it is always under 15 houts.  There is no explanation what it means, I would guess that this is “how many hours will your phone work in stand-by mode”, but then it is way way below what Nokia said – measured in hundreds of hours.
    ·       “Time since last charge – measured in hours.
    So below I summarise my findings, but first, my unit parameters:
    Color: Cyan (does not seem to make any difference to people out there – problems “cross” colours;
    OS: “7.10.7740.16”
    Firmware: 1600.2475.7720.11414
    Hardware: 112.1402.2.3
    So, in MY case:
    1.     “Battery Status” screen:
    ·       “Charged” – seems to ALWAYS display the figure “65535%”, like all others on the forums.  This must be some kind of mistake because it does not change or update and makes no sense, now that we are in this so deep, I hope that Nokia explains what the hell this means, if at all;
    ·       “Voltage” – seems to show figures of between 3.700 V (i.e., volts) to 4.1 or 4.2 volts.  When the battery is low, the voltage seems also to fall below 4.0;
    ·       “Current”, followed by “charging” or “discharging” and the current, usually between 130 mA (i.e., milliamp) and 500 mA.  When the battery “plays nice”, i.e., there is no “problem”, this figure is under 150 ma, usually going seesaw between 140 and 155.  When 3G is on, it is above 250 towards 270 mA
    ·       “Full Charge Capacity” – showing for me usually above 1,500, constantly changes, though less frequently then other figures in this screen.  Strangely I noticed that when it is cold (I was jogging and it was in an external pocket with about 7C outside), this number went lower, under 1,500.  Perhaps the battery when colder can hold less charge?  Nokia should explain.  I think that in case of Hadware versions that end in “x.4” the maximum in this parameter is reported under 1,000.
    ·       “Remaining Charge Capacity” – in my unit this never reaches the “Full Charge Capacity” (which is usually slightly above 1,500 mAh), it stops below 1,350 mAh.     
    2.     “Battery Saver Screen” and the battery icon on the main screen:
    In my case, because the “Remaining” charge never reaches close to the “Full Charge”, when I disconnect the phone from charger, I get straight that “Remaining Battery Life” is “94%” (1350/1500 or so) – and the icon is never 100% “full”, rather “almost” full.  “Estimated time remaining” never really above 15 hrs.
    So, there seem to be (at least) two major issues/problems in relation to battery/working-time:
    1.     Firmware revision (probably) “x.4” may have a faulty battery that would not charge above 1,000 mAh (950 mAh is mentioned by many, or about 1/3rd less than intended by Nokia (unless it is a software bug, which will be huge relief for all, especially for nokia);
    2.     Firmware revision “x.3” may have escaped the “crippled” battery of revision “x.4” guys, but from time to time it can lose battery charge at least 2 times faster than otherwise, most likely due to some background processes that can be felt as the device becomes warm even when not switched on (i.e., in stand-by mode).  This seems to be intermittent or random and can be stopped by powering-down the phone and then powering-up again.
    3.     In all cases, the claim that the phone can be several days in sand-by mode, must be wrong and Nokia must address and explain this.
    So in summary, at least in respect of battery, there is a mess.  Will be interesting if some people with other WP7 devices can chip-in and say whether it is similar in their cases, but Nokia should be open and explain and even admit mistakes, I hope that this can be rectified by software, or at least it is not a “terminal” complication for Lumia 800, which is a beautiful device.

    I would like to thank all the people here who have taken the time to put all this info together for us all and hope it is of help to the folks who are having trouble with battery life. I'm not doing to bad on battery life myself as it always last me though the working part of the day when I don’t have access to a charger and I will soon be updating my car cradle to take the Lumia so will have access to a charger though the day to. Personally I have come from the N900 and that phone also had some battery issues when it first came out which where pretty much sorted over time, as for manufactures claims on battery life, I always read these figures the same way I would read expected miles per gallon that car manufactures put out, meaning that there would only be a very select few that would ever get what the manufactures say you can get the rest of us will all get a very wide variation on these figures. I know that Nokia have acknowledged that there is an issue with battery life and not all of us have this issue, at this moment in time I'm not to unhappy with the battery life, but if it improves then I will be pleased. From all the posts I have read on this site it does seem that some people do read manufactures specifications as if there are set in stone, I'm not criticizing anyone here would just like to say that they are trying to sell you something so have a good look at the figures and maybe check them with other independent sources if at all possible. My only disappointment really is that we have to rely on other people and not Nokia themselves to let us know what’s going on, I wish the manufacture would be more open and quicker to let us know what’s going on and what they are doing to sort out problems and some sort of time frame that we could expect something to come out to fix a problem. I know bugs can me very difficult to find and ever more difficult to fix sometimes but if Nokia put out a weekly report about how things where going on bug fixes or forth coming updates it would help everyone in deciding where they are going with their chosen product.
    Again many thanks to all the people helping us all out and wish you all a happy bug free new year.

  • Set password for messaging lumia 800

    i have a nokia lumia 800 with windows phone 7.8.
    there is a way or application that can set password for messaging, when I or another person want to acces "messaging" it must to insert password, a pin with 4 digits for example.
    thank you!

    Nah, buddy. It's not possible on the phone.
    Most of the applications I found in the Marketplace allow sending of encrypted messages in which recipient needs to decrypt, but you can check the Marketplace yourself. I may miss one that suits what you need: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/search?q=message+password
    However, you can create a password on the phone by going to Settings and then Lock+Wallpaper. This locks the phone and you need to input the password before you can access your phone.
    Cheers.

  • Lumia 800 turning off randomly

    hi All
    I'm having an odd problem with my Lumia 800, that I hope you can help with. The phone randomly shuts down, it doesn't seem to be related to the power levels as it does it when fully charged. It can go 2 days or 5 minutes before doing this. The odd thing is that to turn it back on I have to plug it into my PC, it comes back on immediately... it does not seem to come on if I plug it into the mains. This is a recent issue it worked for a couple of months without any issues.
    Any ideas? I'm based in london on an Orange contract. Thanks for you help in advance.

    I'm having a similar problem, my 800 switches off in mid conversation sometimes and restarts. This is very frustrating as most of my calls are to clients of my small business. However the caller ID from that call doesn't record as would usually happen.This is not so bad if it's a current client as I can call them straight back on the landline but if it is new business I don't have that option as I have no number :-( (therefore lost business)
    I am getting really hacked off with it and could do with a proper answer.

  • Lumia 800 - can't use headphones

    Hello here,
    My name is Adel and I would like to get some support for my Nokia Lumia 800.
    Basically the problem is that headphones don't work with it, the phone doesn't recognize them.
    I checked for dust, nothing.
    I resetted it, nothing.
    Tried to get to an earlier version of windows phone? Nothing.
    Tried to change headphones, nothing.
    Sent it to Nokia local store, after two weeks, i got back my phone with headphones finally recognized by the phone, but it was a short glory, one day later, the same problem is back. No headphones can be connected to the phone. And, I used the headphones that were given in the box when i bought the phone.
    I really have troubles finding a similar solution over the net, feels like I am the only one in the world experiencing this issue
    So guys, I would really appreciate if you could help me fix it please. 
    Thanks and regards,
    Adel Blackburn.

    Let me also add that when the headphones are plugged in, the sound comes out from loudspeaker.
    Just making sure. thanks

    Thanks
    What happens upon trying to play the videos? Is there any error message or is it just showing a blank screen?
    You can try to copy the videos to your computer, delete the videos on your phone and then transfer them back to the phone from your computer.
    If this would fail, you may consider resetting the phone by going to Settings and then About. As this will delete all the contents of the phone, ensure to sync your files or to create a backup copy.

    There have been similar low temperature issues reported using N9, which seems ironic for phone designed in Finland. Do also wonder whether state of charge of battery is implicated in such behaviour as really need to be fully charged before taking out in the cold.

    ’We will add more countries and variants to the rollout based on market requests.’’
    There is no request, there is an absolute necessity! Patience is usually my second nature, but the whole non communication policy since the launch of the Nokia Lumia 800 is scandalous. When Nokia finally listening to their customers and responds quickly to problems and childhood illnesses. Like many others with me I'll be forced to daily to plug my device to the Zune software in the hope that Nokia (Netherlands) will be so kind to update my phone.

    Hi, 
    I've just bought Nokia Lumia 800 and I have problem with camera. The taken pictures have 1632x1224 pixels resolution (like 3MP) instead of 3264 x 2448 pixels (8MP). In options the 8MP resolution is chosen and focus mode is normal (not macro).
    Every taken has a smaller resolution than it should...
    Similar thing is with 7MP and 2MP.
    Had anybody a similar problem? The software is updated to the latest version.

    Appears to be a Nokia feature. I have a series40 phone (C3-01) and it does exactly the same when sending pictures using email, even if you use a wifi connection that is supposed to support heavier traffic. Absolutely agree with you, this s disappointing and "dumb".

  • Nokia Lumia 800 dropping Bluetooth connection to c...

    Hi
    First time on here so be gentle
    My 4 month old Lumia 800 pairs correctly with my new car - Hynudai New generation Santa Fe Premium SE and connects each time I start the car. But after anything from 1 to 3 minutes it drops the connection, remains unconnected for about the same time then reconnects again only to drop out after a couple of minutes and so on. If I press the 'Phone' connection button in the car the "Seareching for Phone" display shows then it conencts again ok but only for a couple of minutes then drops out again!
    I have been back to the car dealership who have tested the cars BT connection with two other mobile phones and they say its an issue with the Nokia 800 itself and not the car which works correclty with all other mobiles!
    My phone shop said it probably needs an upgrade of the software and to conenct via Zune which I have done and no new upgrades are available!
    Ideas anyone on what to do, as its driving me mad!
    I cant repalce the phone as its on a two year contract!  I have looked on the internet and I see there are quite a few people reporting similar issues with their BT connections dropping out.
    Does anyone know a fix?
    Or
    What are Nokia doing about this?

    In some cases, Bluetooth devices don't follow industry-standard Bluetooth communication protocols, so changes in the Windows Phone software may affect how these devices respond. If your Bluetooth device doesn't work as expected, this doesn't mean there's a problem with your phone.
    If you continue to have connection problems, try contacting your Bluetooth device manufacturer.

  • Lumia 800 (12070) won't power on - Infinite reboot...

    Hi everybody, 
    I will explain my problem in 2 versions : 1 long, and 1 short. 
    Short version :
    Phone : 
    Nokia Lumia 800 that I got sent by Nokia 2 weeks ago to replace my ex Lumia 800 which wasn't able to boot. (Different problem). Updated to the latest 1600.2487.8107.12070 version via Zune. 
    Problem : 
    Lumia 800 can't boot, it only vibrates and then turns off 0.5s after the operator screen pops. It does this in loop, random way, but sometimes it manages to boot. Whatsoever, it always turns off randomly, whenever, whatever I'm doing or not. Today it worked fine the half of the day, the other half was spent in rebooting.
    At the beginning of the problem I was able to trying to boot it, holding the power button was making him reboot etc etc, but not anymore. Now, since today, holding the power button doesn't give any response. Only connecting it with a cable makes it reboot etc.
    Symptoms : 
    Totally random, I can't even know if the battery status is real, sometimes it says empty but seconds later it says full. Was working fine before yesterday. Nokia Diagnostic Tool doesn't show the Full Charge Capacity neither the information improvements that other are talking about, I have the 1.13 version I think. It is like it is still the old version. And it isn't always the same, sometimes it turns off, sometimes it reboots, but in all cases it is sudden, without "goodbye".
    Trying to stay in offline mode doesn't worked, without microsim neither, neither soft reset, neither charging all night, neither fully discharging, neither none of any tricks worked.
    It is my 2nd Lumia 800, and the 2nd that cannot power on. I'm affraid to send it back again to a Nokia Care, because of the 2 week I will have to wait.
    Anyone, solution, help ?
    Long version :
    This is my 2nd Lumia 800, the last one was rebooting in loop, then it got stuck at the "Bouygues Telecom" (french operator) screen. No way to charge it or boot it. Got replaced by sending to the Nokia Care in 2 weeks. 
    So they sent me this new Lumia 800, which I updated to the latest version : 1600.2487.8107.12070 with Zune of course.
    Everything was working fine, until yesterday it suddently turned off while I was reading LeMonde app (french newspaper app). Note : No "goodbye", direct.
    So I tried to turn it on, it vibrated one time, and once it got on the "Nokia" screen, it rebooted. Did this 3 times, then it booted properly. 
    Later in the evening, I entered again in "LeMonde" app and it did the same, except it rebooted much more before booting succefully. 
    I thought it was the app, so I uninstalled it, but it rebooted again while I was chatting, this time. 
    Then I thought it had something to do with the network, as I had read things like this on the web.
    So I tried to stay in offline mode (Plane mode) and it seemed to work a moment, except that in the end it did the same, loop reboot.
    I charged it to my PC to boot it, no way, loop reboot. I disconnected the cable, tried to turn it on, it worked.
    But it always turn off or reboot after a while, may be minutes, hours, etc.. 
    Today it worked fine until 1h pm, it turned off, tried rebooting, no way, connected to the pc, no way too, was rebooting in loop, 10mins later it booted while still connected. Then, around 7h pm it began to loop reboot again. 
    Now it is almost 11h pm and it still won't boot. It vibrates, the white "Bouygues Telecom" operator screen appears then it turns off (in 0.5s), and then it do the same, it never stops.
    Note : Sometimes when I manage to boot it, it boot with the "in charge" indicator (the big one), but it isn't connected to any cable... Or sometimes it boot with the empty charge indicator (the big one) but then boot succefully and shows decent charge.
    Note : Nokia Diagnostic Tool doens't show the full charge capacity, only voltage and current discharging, which is around 100mA, but can jump to + 200mA. Version of Diagnostic Tool is the 1.13 I think. Some on the web are talking about a new version with improved informations, but mine is still the old one, I can't understand why.
    Anyone, solution, help ?
    Thank you for reading.

    well it turns out that I experienced the same problem here:
    - have a Nokia Lumia 800, latest updates, French operator: Orange
    2 similar UNWANTED REBOOT problems I have had for the past weeks, and mostly very recently:
    - in France, it randomly reboots, apparently more especially when I travel (mostly in high speed train, but also underground or once in a big mall). I suspect it's caused by the device looking for a new BTS or losing signal, but it's not consistent. Sometimes, it just loses signal and my phone stays on.
    for this problem, I could not find any solution, similar bug, something to help. I live with it, which is quite annoying but not killing me
    - this week-end I was abroad (UK). In the Eurostar I mechanically set it to airplane mode, to prevent the battery consuming network scanning process. When arrived, I have tried to deactivate the airplane mode and, well, each time I turned it off, the phone asks me for PIN but quickly reboots before I can enter the PIN. Tried it with and without Wi-Fi, charged, plugged, entering the PIN code very quickly, without SIM card, underwater... no way.
    I should have roaming activated but I don't think that is the issue. I have tried to deactivate 'time auto-update' but that did not change. I could not modify to Edge or 3G, neither any other operator parameter because... well because you can't while in airplane mode.
    well clearly I was lucky I switched to airplane mode, otherwise it looks like I would have suffered from constant reboot... (i could use mine in Wi-Fi)
    But NOKIA, please explain/fix this !!

  • LUMIA 800 - Clock running slow!

    Hi there,
    I have a bizarre problem with my Lumia 800 running on Optus - the clock runs slow! I have had to set the clock multiple times since I got it, and within about a week of setting it each time the clock is several minutes behind time. **bleep** about a fortnight of setting it the time reads over 10 minutes behind where it should be. I've noticed that unlike on a lot of other phones, there is no 'sync time automatically' or similar feature on the Lumia 800. 
    **bleep** a quick Google search, the only other mention I found similar to this problem was on another Nokia thread, of people on 3 UK complaining that their clock was actually running too fast: 
    /t5/Nokia-with-Windows-Phone/On-board-clock-waaay-fast-Lumia-800/td-p/1334499
    Unfortunately there didn't seem to be a solution to their problem
    For the record my phone was purchased through Optus, and I haven't made any modifications to it whatsoever. I have updated it with the latest firmware, however the problem has persisted since I first got the phone.
    Can anyone please help me? 

    Hi all, sorry for the delay getting back to you - for the record, I'll second the above replies and say that there's definitely no option to set time automatically on my Lumia 800..
    Strangely enough, my issue resolved itself after a few months and I have no idea what fixed it!
    On perhaps an unrelated note, for a period of about a month or two, my phone would routinely notify me about a new software update that was available. I connected my phone to the computer and updated the software, only for it to tell me a few days later that another update was available. After a couple of weeks of this, I looked into the update version and found it was the same update every time. Once again, this makes no sense to me whatsoever.
    I have to say that I was really excited when I bought the Lumia 800, thinking that Microsoft (and Nokia) would bend over backwards to support the few customers that made the switch from iPhones etc. to such a fledgling platform, but I've since found that after-sales support has been pretty poor (evidenced in part by the lack of official response to this thread). I'm also really disappointed that Microsoft have essentially ditched their most loyal customers by upgrading to Windows Phone 8 without support for 7.5 users. Instead we've been waiting in the dark for the 7.8 update that still hasn't come out yet..
    Apologies for the rant, thanks to the above users for trying to help me out - hope your phone issues resolve themselves also!

  • Nokia lumia 800: how to make a backup of sms to pc

    I would like to know how I can make a backup of my sms-messages on my Nokia lumia 800 to my pc (windows vista). I tried Zune, but that programm only gives the possibility to backup pictures and music. Installing Nokia PC Suite didn't work out. I could'nt connect my Nokia lumia 800 to my pc (no possible via usb and bluetooth).
    Thanks for any help!

    You cannot back up SMS from WP7 handsets. The only available workaround is to copy the contents of the messages in a text file and save that to PC.

  • Lumia 800 really buggy after last update

    So far I've had very few issues with the Lumia 800, even though I got one of the very early models. However, after installing the latest update (7.10.8773.98 / 1750.0805.8773.12220) things have really taken a turn for the worse. 
    The issues I've encountered so far are:
    General:
    - Automatic email synchronization stops working, or works in seemingly random intervals
    - A calendar notification sounds but no message is displayed. Then a couple of minutes later the notification sounds again, this time with the option of acknowledging the reminder.
    - Applications keep crashing on startup; for example email, contacts, weatherduck 
    Battery life:
    - The next day after the update the phone was running very hot and the battery ran out in about two hours of absolutely no use. This hasn't occurred since. 
    Settings / Accounts & Email:
    - Unable to change email settings (for example, trying to save a different interval does absolutely nothing)
    - Windows Live - unable to sync, Error code 80070490
    - Twitter - unable to connect, Error code 0
    - LinkedIn - unable to connect, Error code 0
    - So basically everything except Facebook is not working
    So, all in all I'd say someone has done a great job testing the update. 

    Hello, and thanks for the reply. 
    I'm sure there are phones that are working perfectly, it would be doubtful that the update would have been released otherwise. But as you must know, there is a large number of settings combinations (and even apps) that may cause different devices to behave in different ways. 
    Allow me to clarify: all of the symptoms I described occurred after the update, and none of them existed before, apart from the occasional "phone running hot and battery running out" issue. That is probably due to some background task running amok, but it can always be fixed with a reboot and a recharge. 
    To answer your specific questions - I have not changed the live account password, or any of the other accounts. And obviously I have rebooted, since the battery ran completely empty. In fact another thing that I forgot to mention was that the phone has rebooted itself a couple of times as well after the update, which was a new issue. Neither have I installed any new apps since the update. I have three apps that are enabled to run in the background; Evernote, IMDb and WeatherDuck, but none of them are running at the moment. And none of them have caused any issues in the past, and it's extremely doubtful that they could affect the entire system so drastically, other than by consuming memory or cpu and causing resource shortages or battery drain. 
    Also if you take a look at some of the other posts on the forum you'll see that other people have reported similar problems - I found one discussion detailing the exact same thing happening with their email account.
