7.8 for Lumia 900

While I understand that "Nokia does not publish the expected release dates for new software versions", I am becoming very frustrated that my phone refuses to begin the updated process three weeks after it was 'released' (I have an unlocked Lumia 900 and live in Australia).
It really, really ticks me off as I migrated from Android phones, which currently have infinitely fewer frustrations than WP, and even then their updates came thick and fast. It seems WP isn't competent enough to roll out a single update properly in the full year I've had my phone.
Please someone give me some hope that 7.8 is somewhere on the horizon.

Click here for more info about the WP7.8 availability. If there's a new version for your phone, you just have to wait. It'll become available soon.

  • Camera Extras app for Lumia 900

    I can't find the Camera extras anywhere. I do appear to have the Play To (DLNA) and other features like tethering. Am I doing something wrong, or are those seperate updates that will come at a later date?

    Hi Forceflow,
    Thanks for your feedback.
    The Camera extra app is available for Lumia 800 with Firmware 1750.0805.8773.12220 or higher and 710 with Firmware 1600.3030.8773.12120 or higher. The app will gradually become available for different regions.
    I will inquire about availability for Lumia 900 and let you know.

  • Email password for Lumia 900

    Hello,
    I have four email accounts on my Lumia 900.  Two of them, which are Yahoo! accounts, are acting up.  All of a sudden, periodically, the email client will ask for the passwords for both accounts (whereas the other two accounts-a work email account and a gmail account) are auto-retrieving emails just fine. 
    What could have made my Yahoo! accounts act this way where it is asking for my password?  The passwords are saved in the settings.  Could it be my smpt and pop setting address??
    Please help....

    Hi DrNitun,
    Thanks for your contribution.
    As I read your post I assume you have four accounts in use. A business mail account, a gmail and two Yahoo accounts.
    If you only check one Yahoo account do you experience the same behavior or is this only when you try and access two different accounts through the same server?
    Let us know,

  • Charge cord too short for Lumia 900.

    The charge cord for the Lumia 900 should be a little longer.  Even with the plugin right off the side of my bed the charge cord is not long enough for me to be able to read off of my Lumia 900 without needing to unplug my phone from the charger.  (To read news articles the phone has to be in the portrait orientation with the Windows home button at the bottom.  My Samsung Focus charge cord length was long enough.

    Thanks Kosh and Android for the replies.
    Basically the usb charge cord supplied by Nokia for my Lumia 900 is not long enough to be able to charge and use the phone at the same time. (My battery usually doesn't last a full day.) Nokia supplies a short cord compared to other manufacturers. I believe the charge cord supplied should be longer to equal what other brands supply.
    I would buy a longer usb charge cord but Nokia does not offer one and I am concerned I may not find a good quality one and it may wear out the usb port on my phone prematurely. Plus I will be upgrading my phone soon.

  • Need bigger keyboard for Lumia 900

    I have a Lumia 900 and need a bigger keyboard for my big thumbs, but I do not have these options :-(
    Why do they waste all that space and make the keyboard small in landscape?
    I wish I could turn off predictive/auto correct too!
    Moderator's notes: The post was edited. A more appropriate subject is provided.

    Hi whyisitsohard,
    Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
    Let's start with your concern on the keyboard size of the Lumia 900. Unfortunately, there's no setting on the phone to increase the size of the keyboard. Alternatively, I would suggest using landscape mode when typing a text message. This is because the letters are wider compared when using it in a portrait mode.
    For the predictive text or auto correct tool, you can disable it by following these steps:
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Tap on Keyboard
    3. Tap on typing settings
    4. Tap on Keyboard, which is located above the Typing improvement section
    5. Remove the check mark for the "Suggest text and highlight misspelled words". You also have the option to disable other keyboard settings.
    Hope this helps.

  • Screen capture app for lumia 900

    Does anyone know of a screen capture app for the Lumia 900? I've searched but can't seem to find one. Tks!

    @seeleyhj
    Whilst there is no such application upon Windows Marketplace due to constraints of Windows Phone OS this is not the whole story; although now that Chevron WP unlock defunct there only remains the option to pay Microsoft $99 for Windows phone app hub developer account, which would allow a "Screen Capturer" to be installed.

  • Wired Headset for Lumia 900 with 3.5mm Jack

    Hi
    Would there be any recommendations for a Wired Headset with a 3.5Mm jack for headphones for a Nokia Lumia 900. I have tried the Nokia AD-54, you can hear the sound but sound quality is poor. I attached Bluetooth headsets BH-610 and BH-214, both reproduce excellent sound quality. But am looking for a wired option.  The Monster options from purity range dont have 3.5mm Jack

  • Update 7.10.8773.98 for Lumia 900

    Just wanted to put this out there as I wondered if anyone else was having the same issues as me since there latest update (which took embarrassingly a good 30minutes to do)
    Since the update my phone is struggling to coupe with even scrolling through and screen, it lags very horribly and is very frustrating when on the home screen and need to get to the bottom tiles but seems to only let you scroll one line of tiles at a time . . . Also very,very annoying with the lock screen because it drops before it lets you attempt to catch it on the lag to unlock.
    Problems with market keeps showing me errors when wanting to download anything, usually I have to press through the errors three times, Same thing happens when trying to sync my emails. . .
    Web pages do not always display first time normally have to refresh a few times.
    Also this has always happened even before the update, every couple of weeks my phone shows as call divert symbol but when you go into the menu to see if it is, it really isn't so you have to put it on divert and undivert in order to return to normal.
    Just wander if anyone else had issues at all?

    Have seen scrolling issue reported but as my Lumia 900 on OS 7.10.8779.8 is fine not sure whether this issue only appertains to OS 7.10.8773.98

  • You Tube downloader for Lumia 900

    Hi,
    Just got my new blue Lumia 900! Love it. 
    The only problem so far is how to get YouTube on my phone.
    Do I need a YouTube downloader in order to get the music and videos from YouTube-> my computer-> my phone? If so, where to get it? 
    And bad connection at home, guess I would need some sort of signal booster?
    Thanks.

    There are a number of YouTube apps in the Marketplace, but I don't think any of them include a 'downloader'.  Most of them are just viewing apps.

  • Headsets for Lumia 900 (and lumia 1520)

    Hi
    I currently own a Lumia 900 which I mostly use with Plantronics Bluetoth - and it works fine.
    Now I try to use it with my Razer Kraken Pro and it does not work at all - very low and scatchy noise - and if I try with my wifes headset (an iPhone compatable headset) its the same story.
    Both of the headsets work fine on my wifes iPhone but works poorly on my Lumia 900.
    Why is that ?
    I expect to buy the new lumia 1520 when it arrives to Denmark in the start of 2014 but can I expect the same headset issues with that model ?
    best regards

    Nothing wrong with your phone. iPhone headsets only work with iPhones.

  • 7.8 for Lumia 900 (In Norway)

    Hi
    As it says on the URL: http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/lumia-software-update/availability-in-europe/ the update should be avaliable in Norway, witht the operator "Telenor". But neither my phone, nor my computer finds this update, also my Zune says that my phone is updated to the newest firmware for my computer. Why is this happening, please help, looking forward to update my phone!
    -Kasper

    In addition to what Adrian mentioned above, you will need to contact your Operator, too - as update availability depends on Operators (one of the factors).
