Lumia 900 - Updated to 7.8 - can't change icon siz...

After updating my Lumia 900 phone to 7.8, I don't see the second icon in the lower right to change the size of the icons? Am I missing a setting or something? I click and hold down an icon, but I only see the unpin icon in the top right.
Thanks in advance.

Your Nokia Lumia 900 was updated to 7.5 CR3 (Tango). The 7.8 update has not yet been released. It is still under development and destined for release later this year.
You can check your version number under Settings > About.
Hope this helps.

Cannot update lumia 900

Hej,
i saw that update 7.8 is available for the lumia 900. I bought the Att version state side, but when i check on zune it says it's up to date. What's the deal, nokia site says update is available for the att lumia 900.

It is available for the Lumia 900 but updates for network branded handsets have to be localised and approved by the network, hence a possible delay. You should try contacting AT&T to ask them when they intend to approve it.

Lumia 900 update to W7.8

I bought a Lumia 900 on Ebay a week ago. It turned out that it was an unlocked AT&T (unlocking code supplied as well). Apart from Drive I'm very satisfied with it. I have found, installed & mostly tried the apps I need. (Why is MS using an Apple term, call them programs?) However, I have not yet been able to install W 7.8, there are a couple of new features I would like to have. I have managed to update to 7.10 (8779). I have tried forced update but to no avail.
Anybody has any similar - solved - experience.

The term app has existed before the iPhone. It's simply short for application.
Microsoft has stopped the rollout of 7.8 for the time being to fix issues with the update. Turn on update checking in Settings>phone update to have your phone notify you of when the update is available.

Unlocked Lumia 900 updates...

Apologies if this has been asked and answered already - couldn't find an answer
I purchased a Lumia 900 outright unlocked from a phone retailer. My 900 has the Rogers (Canada) splashscreen when booting up.
I use my phone in Australia and each site I go to to investigate my question says the Lumia 900 has no updates but then there's others saying Tango is already shipped on the Lumia 900.
I understand that unlocked devices are updated directly from Nokia (not via a Carrier), and I have connected and checked several times with Zune however no updates.
My phone details are
(Still says) Carrier: Rogers CA SW Variant ID106 v.02
OS Version: 7.10.8107.79
Firmware revision number: 2175.1002.8107.12084
Radio software version: 2.1.75.10
My question, is my device missing update/s it should be getting or not and if/when is it likely that Nokia will rollout global update/s for the Lumia 900's that are unlocked?
Appreciate your assistance ...

Thanks Shoey5...
My Lumia was purchased from one of the first shipments of unlocked devices from Hong Kong (purchased from Australia for Australia). After the first batch the 'generic' Lumia 900 devices were released such as aspergerguy displays.
Fingers Crossed that when Rogers does make the Tango update available I'll get it via Zune.
Thanks for your input all.

Can't sync my Macbook with my new Nokia Lumia 900.

I spent two hours with a couple of the tech folks at the AT&T store yesterday, trying to get my new Nokia Lumia 900 to sync to my Macbook... but with no luck. No matter what we did, I kept getting a message that the server was not secure, and so the calendar and address book wouldn't sync. Other things probably as well, though these two were my primary concerns. And, yes, we had downloaded the Windows Phone 7 Connector. It didn't seem to matter. Any suggestions, other than taking the phone back and getting another iPhone for a couple hundred more than I paid for the Lumia?

Take it back and buy an iPhone...
Sorry had to say it -

Lumia 900 - unable to update

Am unable to update my nokia lumia 900. Zune says ur software version is upto date. current phone version 7.10 (8779).
updates available almost all of regions

Where the **bleep** is the Windows Phone 7.8 update? Why is it not available for my mom's cell phone?
I have been a loyola Nokia customer for years and years...I even had the NGage.
I'm about to give up on this piece of **bleep** company. Why is this update not available? And why does it seem like no one from Nokia is listening?
I'm done with Nokia. Moving on to Samsung Galaxy S4...better luck next time Finland. Eat me.

Lumia 900 update error 80070424

I have just bought Nokia Lumia 900, and everything works and looks very well. But the phone won´t update its firmware (current version is the factory preset of 2175.2101.8779.12201).
ZUNE update procedure keeps bombarding me with 80070424 error. Already tried restarts (both computer and phone), antivirus / firewall settings, and different wifi networks available for connection. Please advise.

Take a look at this article form MS for the exact error code you have. Hope this helps

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
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

Speaker fault on 3 x New Lumia 900 phones what the...

Got a new lumia 900 - was switched on for 2 hours, maybe 1 or 2 calls and internal speaker stopped working. Got that replaced 4 days past - was only on bluetooth speaker in car for that time and same problem again. Got another new replacement this afternoon and 1st incoming call guess what????? bloody internal speaker stopped working on this one also!!!! and both the folks at Nokia and a customer compain that I sound like I'm underwater when using the speakerphone!!!
What the hell is going on here folks?????

Sounds like the detector in the headphone jack is stuck. Use a cottonswab with a bit of alcohol to clean it out and see if it works.

New Lumia 900 Main Camera is inverted

The main (rear facing) camera on my new Nokia Lumia 900 is inverted top to bottom in portrait and left to right in landscape. I cannot find any settings to correct this on the phone. Is this a manufacturing defect that needs the phone to be swapped out under warranty or is there a setting that I am missing to invert the camera.
The front facing camera is working normally.

Hi DocsBoy,
Thank you for your first post and welcome to the forums.
Sorry to hear about the issues you are having with your camera. Firstly have you tried resetting your device? You can do this by going into Settings > About> Reset your phone and see if this resolves the camera issue. Also try resetting the camera. If you go into Settings > scroll across to applications > and then scroll down to Pictures+Camera and then reset camera. If the problem persists I would then either recommend calling your network provider or you local Nokia care line. You can find details of your care line below:

This is ridiculous. I don't see any notification for update either. Why do you say it's April when it's already May and nothing's been happening. I have Lumia 900 with ATT as well. The thing is, I bought the phone because I was told that it's Windows-8 upgradable last year. Then it's not. Then a promis for Windows Phone 7.8 early Spring. Then now. Then nothing. I don't think I will buy a Nokia/MS ever again. This is the reason your company sinks so much, Nokia. Look at Apple. You won't see this ridiculous type of issues...

Already Converted 10 of my family members over to AT&T for Nokia Lumia 900!!!

Verizon,
You decided to drag you feet, promote the crap out of Android and stop supporting Windows Phone 7.
So I converted 10 of my family members over yesterday to AT&T for the Nokia Lumia 900.
I got them $100 credit towards the Nokia Lumia 900 which AT&T was charging $99 dollars for the phone on Pre-Order.
So my family members only had to pay $36 for the activation fee.
Verizon, you had your chance. You had multiple chances. If you truly wanted an LTE Windows Phone 7 from Microsoft, you could have easily worked something out with them, just like AT&T did.
All the information has been leaked out, Apollo/Windows Phone 8 was supposed to have LTE but because AT&T showed that they really were interested in Windows Phone 7 and actually carring a lineup of Windows Phone 7, Microsoft worked it out for them.
So you can take all your Droid crap that you have heavily invested in, along with all your iPhone 4s that keep hogging all the bandwidth on your network and stick it were the sun don't shine.
I promise you this, when my contract is done I will be terminating my account in FULL and switching over to AT&T as well.
To not even stand behind a product that we all have signed 2 year contracts with is unacceptable for the price were paying. To hold back all updates besides Mango is unacceptable just to lock in new 2 year contracts. And I'm talking about Droid too.
Carriers should not be in controll of phone updates PERIOD!!! Updates should be released from the OS Manufactures just like on computers. This business model that the industry has created is a SCAM, JOKE and an INSULT to everyone that puts there hard earned money up for phone service.
Verizon, you have lost all respect in my book, and I will do everything possible to get everyone and everybody I talk to away from your network.
Only way to solve this issue is to address the Windows Phone 7 community and actually annouce something, PERIOD!!! Release the 8107 update as a good faith measure and issue a press release stating your business model regarding Windows Phone 7... Unless you want more dollars going to AT&T.
Also, latest news shows that Android only made $22million in revenues last year, and spend $20 billion acquiring Motorola. So I don't see Andriod being able to do much in the year 2012 to ramp things up to compete against Windows Phone 7/Nokia and Apple.
Do Something, NOW!!! CAN YOU HEAR US NOW!!!
Also, here's another suggestion... Do like AT&T has done and give users a early termination fee to get out of there contracts. I believe they charge $35 dollars or something higher if your not satisified and want to terminate your contract early.
Since you don't want to support or offer any more Windows Phone 7, why keep us as unhappy customers. Give us an option to pay a early termination fee and leave!!!

Android is not a company but a phone operating system. GOOGLE acquired Motorola, not Android. GOOGLE's 2011 revenues were 37.9 billion, NOT 22 million. Google acquired Motorola for 12.5 billion, NOT 20 billion.

Again, where are you getting this information? The AT&T ETF is $325 less $10 for each month of your contract which has been completed. It is NOT $35. Verizon has a similar, although slightly higher ETF of $350 less $10 for each month of your contract which has been completed.
Yes, we can hear you, but you are not making any sense!

Lumia 900 Various Issues

I recently purchased a white Lumia 900 this past weekend, and just wanted to go over some concerns/issues I've had with it thus far. I was thinking about doing a return/replace with At&t, but it seems that the issues may vary. I'm hoping many of these can be resolved with a software update. Just FYI, I already ran the update that was released on 4/16 and have also reset the phone a few times since then.
Display:
1. The display has a purple hue (most noticeable on gray backgrounds) when set to low brightness. This is mostly an annoynace since my wife has the same phone and hers does not exhibit this behavior. I'm hoping this is not a hardware issue as it displays fine above the low brightness setting. Below is at least one thread of people having the same issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599308
2. Screen response is slow. It seems that that there is a delay between where my finger is and how the screen tracks my movements. I'm hoping that can be adjusted to be similar to how the Lumia 800 responds as per this video. The tracking starts at 3:45.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KBDZrqVW-8
3. Home screen scrolling is slower than other Windows Phones. On my previous Dell Venue Pro, I could scroll through the home screen much faster. From reading about the web, it seems that the Lumia 900 is set at a much slower pace, or that the inertia scrolling just isn't set. I'm hoping that can either be changed or allow us to change the scroll speed. The combination of the larger screen, the slower screen response, and the slower scrolling just makes the phone feel slower than it should be.
http://forums.wpcentral.com/lumia-900-ace/190309.htm
Sound/Notifications:
1. There is a large volume discrepancy between the speaker and the headphone jack. I try to keep the volume at one setting (around 18) because that is most comfortable for me when listening with headphones, but switching back to the speaker, and it is just clearly too loud at that setting. I'm hoping this can be changed with an update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615986
2. Changing the volume while the screen is off is very inconsistent. I have to press the volume rocker buttons several times before it makes the incremental change. It seems others were having issues with the volume rocker not working at all prior to the 4/16 update, so I'm hoping this can be fixed further.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1607937
3. Vibrate function seems to be making a rattling noise. This one definitely seems to be a hardware issue, though what I have seems to be 'normal' for a Lumia 900. It's not as bad as others I've seen on the web, where it would be extremely loud, but it is annoying nonetheless. I'm just hoping a hardware fix can be put in place for the future. It sounds similar to that of the Lumia 900 at the end of this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KBDZrqVW-8
Camera:
1. The camera has issues with white balance and focus. This is definitely a software issue, since 3rd party camera software are able to take great pictures just fine, such as SophieCam. I'm hoping this can be addressed soon.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605444
Despite these issues, I really do like the phone. I hope many of these issues can be addressed soon via software updates. We broke contract with our previous carrier to obtain these phones, and would really like to keep them, but not at their current state with these various issues. I'm hoping Nokia will see these issues and provide quick and helpful support for them.

OK, so I've calmed down a bit and now realize some detailed explanation of the issue could help to identify it more than ranting. So, here are the usage conditions and symptoms I noticed when I got into this battry drain, laggy, warm phone situation.
1st time:
Where: At work which is outside of Phoenix in a spotty reception area. I had maybe 1-2bars of 4G showing
What: Drove to work using bluetooth audio all the way. When I got to work I was trying to download an App, but the download failed. I tried again, and the download started, then just froze at 15%. I cancelled the download and tried again. It started to download and froze again at 15%. I attributed this to the weak coverage (but since then I've been able to complete a download from the same location with the same service)
Then the battery seemed to drain as fast as I could charge it...literally. I had the phone plugged into a USB charger and the state of charge barely changed after hours of charging. I never thought to re-start. I got home and my battery was basically dead after bluetooth audio all the way home (almost 1 hr). I finally restarted and had no more issues. Didn't really think anything of it...just thought my new phone had a **bleep** battery life
2nd time (following day):
Where: At home with strong LTE coverage in Tempe
What: Woke up, paired up with my portable bluetooth stereo at home. Let the music play while I hung out in the pool for a few hours. I was simultaneously taking pictures throughout the afternoon. Battery charge quickly fell to about 25%. I started to notice that when I would zoom into the pictures I had just taken, it would take about 15sec for the resolution to re-sharpen after zooming in. About 20min later my battery critically low warning came on. So, I plugged into my wall charger. Can't remember at what point I re-started.
That was Saturday. I had no issues and great battery life on Sunday. No bluetooth audio usage. Used Nokia Drive, the phone, internet, and various apps, but no BTA.
3rd time:
Where: Driving from Tempe to work, passing in and out of coverage along the way
What: Streamed Bluetooth audio the entire drive with a few phone calls mixed in. Got to work and the phone was warm, but I assumed this was normal after an hour of usage. Got into work and noticed it being laggy in general. Turned off data and BT Gave it a few minutes to recover and for the phone to cool off with no usage. Phone didn't cool off and remained laggy, so I figured something was up. I re-started, all issues disappeared, and phone cooled off. It has been fine since.

Lumia 900 contact groups members limitation.

Anyway to surpass the 20 members per group limitation...I have to say this is really annoying why is it old androids
phone let you have close to unlimited members per group according to your SD card storage, but not for Lumia 900
so I am thinking Nokia should mark this as a play phone not for business usage? I am quite frustrated that I got a
new phone but force to use back my 5800 xpress music because most of my contacts transfer over is kinda screw
up, and yes I have went to a Nokia care center and all they can reply "is a new software is like that". Anyone please
please tell me there is a way to this problem...

Nokia really needs a software update to break this group limitation, can we have more option select in contacts
like not show my hotmail synchronize contacts? This is annoying to see so many contacts that is not really
related. I myself have around 450+ contacts and is been hell to re-enter them after the first sync, because
whenever my contact have more that 1 number it shows ie. Vincent, vincent1, vincent2 really annoying. And why
is it I have to add contacts in a group 1 by 1 why can't I select all that I wish to group together. All this function
were in android phones and might I add is really really really really useful why took all of this away. I have know
people with over thousand contact list how will they be able to use lumia phones for business. I myself have
been using Nokia for 10 years plus and this lumia phone have been a great disappointment so far...
