Annoying elementary problems with Lumia 800

Hello all from noKIA and microSoft...
Latest OS version upgraded 7.10.8773.98 but still elementary baby problems...
1. First incoming phone  call ring tone seconds are at full volume 30/30 despite Your setting... **bleep**??? Why these first seconds should be at full volume? Can somebody from noKIA and microSoft explain that?
2 Impossible to swish off phone ring tone AND vibrating thing. It vibrates in any version. **bleep**??? Why it is impossible to switch off EVERYTING sound and vibrato?
3. Where has gone so old but good thing of ring volume presets as older phones had Outside, Silence, Meeting etc? It was not so bad thing at all. Why it is thrown out?
4. On the phone with English settings there is Office in Russian... **bleep**??? How can I use all helps, descriptions etc of this soft if I do not understand that language?
5.  No possibility to download smaller world language keyboard layouts. Why it is so impossible if big brother Windows has it? Ok I understand that it is a "really huge problem" to have menus in world smaller languages (just copy the translations from older models - how hard it can be???)
6. And why all updates are so difficult, so user involving? Can somebody learn user friendliness in any angle from Apple?
Seams that You do not learn on your mistakes and going deeper in them from phone to phone!
P.S. And after latest update - seamed to not working promissed flip over for silencing the incoming lall ring tone...
Nokia 1611, 2210, 3110, 5110, 6210, 6310, 6310i (up to these models totally satisfied)
Then don't remember model, then E50 (mostly happy), then N97 mini - phone with briliant keyboard, but poor touchscreen, then business phone E07, phone that can not make a photo of contract, invoice or business card. poor design of usb port and 5 months at service did it - my nowadays phone is Apple. Company gave me Asha 300, so frustrating, that I use my old E50 instead...

About ringtones - it was very useful profile option in "old and dead" Symbian. Please put Yourself in average life - You are in office - want to have very silent ringtones, not disturbing Your collegues, then You go out - again - not a few cilks, but holding the volume **bleep**...
Then You go into theater - want to swich off sound and vibro - again - not so easy few clicks... You have to go to phone settings find sound controls etc... and do this stuff... Very convinient... Why newer phone has worse solutions???
I'm from Latvia, so it is quite strange, that phone itself has only few menu languages in 21st century - except of course Latvian. How hard it can be to emit a phone already with regional language???
But about settings - regional settings are available in Latvia - few things are shown in Latvian, but no keyboard layout in this language - i've checked.... Seams strange. The windows for PC itself already for years is in Latvia and has Latvia keyboard layouts etc.. Why for the Phone OS it is so impossible?
And what for in Latvia Office is in Russian? For Russian office there is huge another country called - Russia... Why it is in Russian - the explanation is still not enough understandable... Russians even have another letters - totally different from Latin. Why we need in our country Russian office??? Think about that somefinnish guy in Finland buys phone and also have on phone Russian office... Efvery finn is just happy and says - this is what he is looking for - Russian office on phone that is sold in Finland for Finns... At leat phone could ack - what Office user wants - and change it while one of annoying long updates is proceeded...
About phone firmware... Do You think it is a normal thing that phone starts to work as it should only after long, annoying and at least three updates? For My country - Latvia - this firmware update is still not available... I've checked on Nokia page... there are 30 countries in Europe and Latvia is not listed...
The third question - I tried to copy phone book from old phone using contacts transfer - but I had to face a problem - BT does not work for that purposes despite that only this option is offered... Is it normal? Only possibility os offered through not supported data conection... Cool!
Isn't it a special thing to introduce in market not finished "beta" phones? So unfinished, not enough tested etc?
And you have to admit - Lumia 800 is not a cheep phone. Why people for that money do not have phone usable right from the box, but it means long updating, configuratinga and problems for big money???

  • Data Roaming Problems with Lumia 610 and 710 phone...

    Data Roaming problem with Lumia Wndows 7.5 phones.  We have a Lumia 710 and also 610 phones on Virgin pay monthly sim cards.  We cannot get data raoming to work on either phone.  We have tried in a number of locations in France and Switzerland. Virgin confirm roaming and data roaming are set up on our account.  
    - I have purchased Data Passes.  
    - Settings>Mobile Network active network shows current operator
    - Data Connection is on,
    - Data roaming option shows "roam",
     - highest connection speed is 3G,
     - network selection is automatic.
     - Flight mode is off.  
     - Account settings are ok because everything works on Wifi.
     - Connection has been full bars showing 3G.  
     - I have tried hard resets of phone, manual network selection, deleted browsing history,
     - phone software reports that it is up to date,
     - I have run Network Setup which confirms phone has been updated network settings for relevant operator.
     - Telephone calls to Virgin from Switzerland could not resolve the problem.  
     - Discussions with Virgin since returning home have not been able to solve the problem.  It seems to be an issue with Lumia phones. 
    Can anyone help please? Nokia - why doesn't this work on your phones?

    I'm like what an OS this phone has. All I can say is that if you own MS stock dump it fast as the OS on this phone is so bad its not even funny.
    I think what they are trying to do here is a last ditch attempt to capture the online services market but it isn't going to work, because they have made this OS to weird.
    I'm a pretty seasoned user and I generally am able to get gadgets to work but dudes this puppy is something else. I have 14 days to exchange it so Im going to give it my best shot for another couple of days and see where it goes.
    The phone itself is pretty decent otherwise I would have returned on the 2nd day. Its pretty fast and the screen is nice and bright and if not some major concerns I wouldn't be a complaining.
    1st} There is no way to import your bookmarks into the phone without using a online service.
    2nd} I haven't been able to successfully export my old contact list from my LG P500 Android.
    The 710 seems to only use contacts that are stored on online services even though I have imported my contacts using the Contact transfer function on the phone.
    3rd)The phone won't shut off while charging even if you shut the phone down , plug it in and it turns on no matter what you do.
    The Zune software is all glitter and no meat too unfortunately.
    I really wanted an alternative and the phone is such good value and a local new Provider has a 27 $ a month unlimited everything, but luckily they have a 14 day phone exchange policy.
    I'm going to keep for a few more days and see if I can get it to work the way i want it to.

    For this special promotion in India you might like to look at this previous post concerning this issue where OP received an invitation from Nokia with SMS code:http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nokia-Lumia/Free-play360-speaker-with-lumia-800/m-p/1571008/highligh...
    If this promotion is run in similar fashion to that in UK, online registration could not be completed and it had to be actioned by contacting Nokia Care.

  • Problem dialling certain digits with Lumia 800

    In order to find out how much pre-paid phone credit I have with my carrier, I can dial #123#, which works with my SIM in my iPhone (unlocked) and I get a response giving my available credit. However, when I try to dial this combination of digits with the same SIM in the Lumia 800 (unlocked), I always get the message 'failed'. Can anyone suggest how I might dial #123# on the Lumia? Thanks

    Hi GeoffN,
    Usually service codes are in the format *[number]#
    For instance by dialling *100# on my Lumia 800 I will get my calling credit with my carrier.
    Hope this helps,

    Hi,
    changing language to english does not help.
    I found more details about this. It is always a reply or forwarded message gets corrupted, never original one. 2 messages I checked both had long subject. In the corrupted one the subject gets truncated to 26 cyrilic or 52 latin symbols, depennding on the language of the mail.
    So, I made a simple test. I create new mail and type all letters of Ukrainian alphabet  (32) "Абвгдеєжзиіїйклмнопрстуфхцчшщюя"
    and send to myself. Message body contains 1 word "Тест"  (means "test" in Ukrainian). The first instance looks ok - I can see full length of subject and read message body. But as soon as I reply to it my subject is truncated to "RE: АбвгдеєжзиіїйклмнопрÑ" and mail body is like that:
     =?utf-8?B?

    Mail looks like this already in my "sent" folder on the phone, so this is definitelly phone mail client issue and as I observed it on 2 lumias I'm sure it is systemic one.
    It looks like phone client is incorrectly processing long subject fileds, so it mess up with mail body and whole mail gets corrupted.
    If I cut the subject text to 20 symbols and I send it, it looks just fine...
    When I try to submit this, I've got message "Your post has been changed because invalid HTML was found in the message body. The invalid HTML has been removed. Please review the message and submit the message when you are satisfied." So, now I'm not completelly sure that quoted message still looks the same as i my mail client.

  • Connection difficulties with Lumia 800 and CK 100

    I have a Nokia Lumia 800 and an installed CK-100 car kit, the kit has been professionally installed and works as it should do ie it is switched on with the car ignition and can be paired with both my Lumia and my partners Samsung via bluetooth.
    The problem I am having is the car kit keeps connecting with the phone resulting in two beeps through the speakers as it confirms it has connected both the phone and player function.  This repeats every 1 minute and is very frustrating.  It does this almost non stop although some times after about 10 -15 connects it suddenly disconnects.
    I have found a way to stop this happening, but it is not ideal and certainly not how a hands free kit should be, as follows;
    Set the Lock function to its max setting (5 minutes) and tile to the Bluetooth screen, then by constantly touching the screen every 5 mins to keep the Bluetooth settings screen open it works.
    I have sent two emails to the Nokia help centre (both times it is clear that they do not understand the questions) and have phoned the help desk twice, on one of the occasions the help desk person told me to reset the phone (which clears all your setting, Apps etc) and it worked fine for 4 days then started as above.
    Anybody got any ideas? to me it looks like the bluetooth setting is doing something when it is in sleep mode.
    Regards
    martyn

    Check whether you may have use your Lumia 800 on another PC initially so it has it's primary sync relationship with that PC.
    When you connect your Lumia with your PC and Zune starts select 'phone' and verify the sync relationship which is shown below the phone image. If this says 'guest' you will have to click 'Change Sync Relationship' to move it to the PC you are using.
    On any other PC you can remove the phone from the list of know devices through Settings>phone>sync options and click 'forget this phone for each phone you wish to remove. If multiple phone are known to this install of Zune you will see left and right arrows besides the phone image with which you can select the phone to change settings for.

  • Time Machine backup problems with firewire 800 since Mavericks

    Since I installed Mavericks about a week ago, I have had problems with TM not working with my LaCie external drive. At best, it would not back up when the mac was awakened from sleep mode and in use.  When I would open time machine preferences, I would see the "preparing for back up" prompt that would last forever. Not only was it doing that, I have found that it would freeze my mac. I figured this out when I was not able to get my mac to respond from the login screen. It was basically frozen and couldn't log on.  I noticed the back up drive light flickering but nothing would happen even with waiting a long time. I finally figured out that shutting off the TM EHD would unfreeze the mac and it would start functioning normal again. This was happening with my external HD daisy chained to another external drive that contains my iPhoto, iMovie and Itunes files. That drive was also connected to the mac using firewire 800. I tried many different configurations, switched the order the drives were daisy chained, tried different cables and even directly connected the TM drive with firewire 800 to the mac, but the problems still persisted. The strange thing is that when I connect the TM drive through USB, it works flawlesly and no hanging up of the computer. Thats what Ive been forced to do. I have my other EHD connected directly through firewire 800 and it works fine. I only have one firewire 800 port, and since it works fine with my other LaCie drive, it makes me think its not the port or macs hardware? I can only guess this is a Time Machine issue or something wrong with my TM drive?  I have been in contact with LaCie and given them all these details but I have not heard back yet on what they feel the problem is. I thought I would post this to see if anyone else had some experience with this problem.

    Forgot to mention I did that. Completely erased and reformatted HD and then reconnected to TM. Didn't help. I did have the mac hang up while installing Mavericks and had to eventually shut off the external drive. It did that to me the firs time I tried to install Mavericks and I lost all my data because it did a clean install after that. I had another back up on CCC so I just restored from there. This time the update to Mavericks transferred my data. I have had TM hang up my mac in the past on occasion, but I was always able to shut down the drive and then the mac would return to normal. Perhaps I should try to erase and reformat again?

  • Problem in lumia 800

    I bought Lumia 800 a 6 months back , it always gave me a hanging problem while the call ends , nokia people fixed it somehow . here is the new problem , while i was listening to the music on lumia i heard boom noise and then the set hanged . none of the button or touch s working , it just got hang in music player since yesterday . please help ! 

    Hi
    Sorry to hear about that. Firstly have you tried resetting your device by holding the volume down, power button and camera button together for 10 seconds to force the device to restart. Give this a try and see if it helps. If not then try plugging your device into your P.C and start up the Zune application and see if you are able to restore your previous firmware on the device. If none of this helps then you may need to visit a care point which you can find the nearest location on the below link:

  • Freezing issue with Lumia 800

    Hi,
       I bought a new Lumia at the Ambience Mall in Gurgoan 2 days ago and since the time I began using it, it suddenly and randomly freezes with no display and totally unresponsive. There seems to be tactile vibration on pressing the Windows or search buttons, but the phone is also unreachable. The only option is to reboot the phone and this is really irritating as I dont know when it freezes up. I have to keep switching on and checking.
    I am told there is a replacement for these phones if any issues happen, even the Nokia care repair shop was unable to help. Now since I am located in Bangalore, is there any other retailer I can have this phone exchanged?

    I had the same issue with the screen freezing. I've been reading other threads on this and some say it could be cold weather. I remember I had a Nokia 5800 and the screen would scramble when it was cold out. The only way to fix the screen to use a magnet on a certain part of the screen or heat the phone up with a blow dryer and use the unlock switch. I don't know if it's the same deal with the lumia 800. I remember  rubbing the screen with my thumbs on the screen in opposite directions and pressing the unlock button to try to unlock the screen. That worked a few times.

    Second much more irritating problem:
    I thought I'd see what would happen if I exported it. I selected two songs, and combined those songs using all the methods listed above as well as actually creating a new iLife preview song file in garageband and even exporting the two songs into a combined .mp3 file again with garage file. I must stress that when played in Garageband, in iTunes and even with iPhoto's music preview, the two songs play perfectly one after the other with no problems. However, no matter what method or indeed file combination I use, when exporting, iPhoto causes the first song to restart a few seconds after the second one has begun resulting in them playing at the same time which as you can imagine is pretty frikking annoying and basically makes it impossible to present such a slideshow. At first I thought it was "selecting" the first song to replay but it does this even with a single .mp3 which must appear to it to be only one song, so it appears that it simply restarts the track from the beginning at a random place in the slideshow, while continuing to play the track already playing.
    Anyone else experience this - I have yet to try the delete, write to CD and re-import option but this seems like a ridiculous and unacceptable thing to have to do to get something so simple to work.
    Any suggestions would be welcome.
    Thanks

    Try deleting the iPhoto caches in the your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder and the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Reboot and try exporting again.
    I'm able to export a slideshow with 3 songs without any issues except that there are long gaps between songs. Lots of dead air due to the fade out and in of the tracks.
    Question: Do you have the Quicktime Player 7 installed? It's an option with Snow Leopard installation. Also when the slideshow is being exported which icon do you see in the Dock, the older Quicktime Player 7 icon or the newer QT Player 10 icon.
    For several reasons I've removed the QT 10 Player and use the 7 exclusively. It have more features and, IMO, does a better job at most everything. What I'm getting at is that if the QT 10 player is exporting the slideshow that may be the problem.
    If you have QT 7 then zip the QT 10 player and delete the unzipped application. Then try an export to see if you have better luck. A long shot but might work.
    Some more info about QT Player 7 and it's use alone can be found in this topic: UPDATE!.
