Audio distorted after Lumia 800 vibrates while tak...

If I'm recording a video and an SMS or other notification comes in that causes the phone to vibrate, the rest of the audio recorded after the vibration will sound extremely distorted/broken. Is this a known issue with all Lumia 800s or do I have a faulty device? Not sure if this is a hardware problem and if the phone needs to be returned or a case of waiting for a software update...

As this is the first post I've seen regarding this issue, I couldn't say, however you could call your nearest care centre and check, or if you're worried get it in the post asap. If it were a common problem it would nornally have caused a number of posts regarding the issue, also has the issue occurred on more than one occasion ?

  • Your Battery Life after Lumia 800 Update

    Hi,
    I recently updated my Lumia 800 to firmware (1600.24838106.11500) and my battery life is much much better. However, I am still not seeing an expected fixed full charge of ~ 1502mAh, which it had before the update. Nokia says it may be an issue with the phone but before I send it back could any else confirm that post update they can get a max capacity charge reading in the 1500mAh's? Could there still be a little more battery charge a firmware update could tap into for all of us or is my battery weakened by pre-update battery management? My battery at the moment polls:
    1) Battery Saver Life remaining around 1day 9hours.
    2) Battery Status Full Charge Capacity varies between ~1350 & 1420 mAh.
    3) Charging using approved Nokia Lumia 800 chargers.
    3) Three charging cycles completed.
    Cheers for the help.

    After the update and a hard reset;
    The max battery ranges between 1322 and 1478
    For the 1st few days I was getting about 26hrs out of it so quite a leap from 6-9hrs but this morning the phone was dead after 16hrs - with most of that time just on standby.
    Plugged in the charger and there's a battery charging image but after 15 mins I still can't turn the phone on to make a call (with charger in).
    During this time my Blackberry 8520 was charged up on Saturday and the battery power shows 3 bars left out of 5.
    The Lumia looks really nice but I think it's covering up internal outdated junk and the only thing that's keeping it selling is smoke and mirrors marketing.
    335 hrs standby time  -  nearly 2 weeks!!! 
    55 hrs of music playback - over 2 days!!!! 
    It's like they plucked the numbers out of the sky... "this will sell it"!
    My phone is now coming up to 2 months old and all this "there's a patch to fix it" has proved nonsense. Sure they've increased it a little but I'm sure I could have got more life out of it by setting the brightness to low myself.

  • Freezed Lumia 800 Tango while listening music

    Hi
    Since I updated my lumia 800 to Tango It has freezed 5 times while I am listening to music plugged to 2.1 speakers while it is charging.
    Lumia 800 + charging + 2.1 speakers wired = Annoying to me
    I have to press long time the power button, restart it and play again music praying it won't happen again.
    Anyone with the same bug?
    Any solution?

    Hi,
    Just don't use your phone while charging!
    Mine was not updated yet to Tango so I cannot check or replicate it on my device. By the way my  phone freeze even on 8107 OS version.
    Screen freeze when I listen to music(MP3) and let music+videos app run on background and try to read mails for more than 3 mins. Same happens when I suspend or pause music  and tries to read mails.
    It's either the native music app eating all the RAM or my phone is a faulty one so I have presented it to Nokia Care with some other major issues.

  • USB Audio Distortion After 10.4.6 Update

    Have been using an Edirol UA-1D USB/Digital Audio interface with my Pismo for years. Optical connection for audio out to digital 8 track unit. Crystal clear signal. Painless operation. And NO drivers needed.
    Updated from 10.4.5 to .6, and instantly I'm hearing a considerable and disturbing amount of distortion in the audio. It's not volume dependent or overmodulation (comes through even at low input levels). And it comes through iTunes, Reason, LIVE, etc... where it didn't before.
    Since the Edirol unit uses built-in Core Audio, I'm baffled. I know Apple has been endlessly tweaking its OSX USB/Digital audio underpinnings, but I fear this latest tweak has knocked something out of alignment.
    Any suggestions?
    I zapped PRAM, "repaired" permissions, etc. No luck yet.
    Would appreciate any insight.
    Thanks in advance.
    B&W w/G4600 - Pismo   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I have been having similar problems with my (much less fancy) USB speakers, intermittently, since the 10.4.6 update (PowerBook). From another post I made elsewhere:
    I have Altec-Lansing XT1 USB speakers. They're connected to the PowerBook via a USB KVM, to an ADC, to the speakers.
    For the last week or so (it started soon after 10.4.6 upgrade), an odd temporary sound distortion has been occurring. As the original poster mentioned, it sounds for the life of me as if the speakers are blown.
    For anywhere from a few moments (several seconds) or longer, the sound output will become distorted in this way. Then, often of its own accord, things will go back to normal. If I want to get them back to normal more quickly, I can mute and unmute (I use a Logitech keyboard with a mute button, or sometimes I hit the Griffin Powermate which defaults to mute, and occasionally I even hit the sound control on the menu bar). When it's unmuted, it comes back undistorted.
    Hence, this phenomenon seems to me to likely be software-related.
    I almost always use the PowerBook closed and hooked up to an ACD. Lest you think this is particular to this set up: I have another identical ACD & speakers at the office (indeed, even the same keyboard), with the main difference being the lack of the USB KVM switch being left out. The problem happens there as well.
    I welcome any thoughts.
    Thanks,
    Doug

  • I am getting inconsistent audio distortion after export, please help.

    When I export with the following settings I am experiencing a lot of distortion on my 2nd audio clip which is 48000hz - 16bit - Stereo.
    This happened when I changed my sequence settings from 23.976 to 24fps.
    Any thoughts? This was filmed on a gh4, using a sennheisser wireless g3 and the on board audio recording. Never had this issue before.  Whats strange is that the distortion only occurs during the second clip... I can embed the video that helps.

    I seem to remember having audio issues at transition points way back with PPro 1.5 and the fix was to export/render just the audio to an uncompressed wav, place that wav on it's own track and mute the others before rendering the project out.   That eventually put me into the habit of doing roundhouse sessions of the audio into Audition for tweaks, noise, normalize, etc. and mixing down back to PPro.  The only audio effects I use in PPro anymore are track gains to meet specs in the loudness radar at final export.
    I'm really digging how tight the entire suite is, and I could go on how well it's working, but that would raise trouble with some so I'll stop here.

  • De-branding a Lumia 800

    while travelling on business I got an unlocked Lumia 800. While it was easy enough to get set up in English it's still (in the About) referencing Carrier: Norway SW VariantID 539 v.02
    Now while I've got nothing against the fine people of Norway (Oslo is an awesome city) because I am heading back to the US in a couple of weeks I'd love to know if being identified as a Norwegian handset will be a problem for updates and features (eg if they don't get tethering but an un-branded or US device does will I get left out)?
    Solved!

    As long as your phone doesn't show up a provider logo... I don't think it is considered "branded".

  • Nokia Lumia 800 is off and continually vibrating.

    Hey guys,
    I was just using my nokia lumia 800 normally and then it suddenly shut off. I've tried everything to get it working, soft reset, hard reset, taking the sim out, letting the battery go flat then plugging it in, but nothing worked. This has happened once before but it turned back on after 5 mins. It has been 2 days now and it is stil continually vibrating. What should I do?

    Hi JulseyB, Welcome to the Nokia forum!
    It sounds like you have tried most things to get it back up and running again, I have a feeling it might be a hardware failure, I suggest that you take your device to your local Nokia Care point as soon as you can to get it looked at by a specialist. 
    I hope this has helped!

  • My new Nokia Lumia 800 changes date and time after...

    When i switch off and on my Nokia Lumia 800, date and time changes: from 2 september 2012 8.00 to 2 march 2013 14.00. I need help to understand this strange problem and find a solution.

    I had the same problem with my Lumia 800. The Lumia 800 kept changing time and date as soon as I switched it off and turned it back on. In my case, doing a HARD RESET helped to fix this. BEWARE! You will lose all your data!
    Switch off your phone, hold Volume Down, Power, Camera buttons down. Switch phone on. As soon as it vibrates, release Power button, keep Volume Down and Camera button pressed for a few seconds.
    I have the same problem and after going through all the various support sites- Nokia, O2, and endless forums I was told the same thing "Make sure your auto-update for date and time is switched to automatic" But after telling them I don't know how many times that my Lumia 800 didn't have this option, only a 24 hours switch I was told there was nothing that could be done. However I appear to have sorted it out myself. The problem appears to be (or on my phone at least) is wi-fi connection, before I turn my phone off I have to disconnect from wi-fi and when I turn the phone back on the date and time stays corrected.
      When I set the date and time manually (for the 3000th time!!) I held in the power button until the slide down close screen disappeared then released it and the phone restarts, then I done it again- same proceedure just to be sure and ever since the date and time has stayed correct. BUT BE SURE TO TURN OFF WI-FI BEFORE SWITCHING PHONE OFF. Hope this helps

  • 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. 

  • Lumia 800 locking up after 11500 update

    I hadn't had a single problem with my Lumia 800 since purchase two months ago.
    Last night I updated the firmware to 11500.
    Within a minute of the update completing the phone froze. App list was on screen but unresponsive, all buttons unresponsive, a full blown lockup.  I held the power button and reset it.  Phone booted up ok but locked up again within five mins, then again after another five mins.  This morning it locked up again while I was switching off flight mode.
    There has been no consistency to what I have been doing on the phone at the time. The only observation I've made is that it's never unresponsive when I pick it up, it happens monents after unlocking the screen and using the phone.
    Has anybody else experienced this?
    I can't make use of this because I've owned the phone for too long: http://www.lovemekeepme.com
    Help! Please?

    Restore done.  Phone restarted.
    It locked up seconds after unlocking the screen.
    Held down power button until device switched off, rebooted, went into apps list, opened an email, ran Nokia Disgnostics and looked at Battery Info, returned to homescreen, switched on flight-mode, switched off flight-mode, phone locked up.
    GPS appears to be broken too. Nokia Maps, Maps (WP) and FourSquare all show my location as the place I last ran a map application which is about 30km away. Strange thing is that it's reporting that GPS is locked on and that it knows my position.
    Oh! Phone has just locked up again.
    What should I do now?  If it's to contact Nokia Care would you mind providing a link or telephone number (UK) please?
    Thanks everso,
    Matt.

  • Nokia Lumia 800 key vibration

    I bought a new Nokia Lumia 800. I noticed that despite turning off vibration, the phone vibrates each time the back key (<-) is pressed. Is there any way to turn this off. i believe this could save a lot of battery.
    Also how do we completely close an application in Lumia 800? I opened a page in IE. pressed back key. Then pressed and held back key to find there is no active application or IE running. However, when i open IE next time, I see the previous page has been loaded and it has been active all this time which could have been eating in to my data usage as well as battery charge.
    Thanx in advance.

    Yep it is true for Psychomania said, however I've been using Nokia since 3310 and since then I've declared that Nokia is a "connecting people" phone. Because it is easy to use, it is easy to share (contacts, sounds, pictures, messages etc), it is easy to customize. Moreover it is not hard to change from an old Nokia phone to the new one.
    After Lumia comes, I believe this is the best of Nokia phone that the quality is almost equal with IOS. I do agree for following the trend of the consumer mostly (social, market, book etc) is a good thing to do. But please Nokia, do not change your ability, do not change your "connecting people" style. I'm feeling as a bird on cage with Lumia, could not change sms tone, when I was migrating contacs and I found my contacs get multiplied and I have to merge it or delete it, Could not change my phone name directly from my phone. I know IOS is using itunes for importing things inside it, yet It is not good enough if we remarks all of it. You have your own style, Nokia.

  • Nokia Lumia 800 won't boot after region+language c...

    I just got my Nokia Lumia 800 and attempted to switch region+language to English(US) from English(UK).  It said I had to restart the phone to make the change.
    The phone turned off and turned back on, but it is now stuck at the NOKIA logo and has been for the past 10 minutes.  I tried turning it off and back on, but it still did not boot.
    I'm totally stuck with a bricked phone here.  Any suggestions?  Keep it on and wait it out?
    Thanks,

    @kanno41
    You could try a "soft reset" by keeping Volume Down and Power buttons down until the phone vibrates three times; the phone should successfully restart with the Nokia logo after a few seconds.

  • Lumia 800 bluetooth audio very quiet

    My Lumia 800 connects to a Bluetooth receiver for playing audio files, with no trouble. However the volume of the stream is very very low. I have to turn up the volume on the phone and stereo to max to hear anything.
    Any ideas anyone?

    Just to update, I've tried other Bluetooth devices to stream to the stereo, and they all have a good volume levels. So the problem lies with the phone.
    Also, headphone is good too.

  • Battery after hard reset on Lumia 800

    Hi
    A few days ago i did a hard reset on my Lumia 800. Since that everything was great, the only reason why i did it, to restore the default settings. After that i updated the firmware to 12070 via Zune. Since that day, my phone doesn't really know how much  percentages are left from the battery. Sometimes It's showing a consant value for a long time, then suddenly begins to drain, and after a few it stops. It often happens, that it shows a value, and after an hour it shows a higher value (in percentage) than beforehand. 
    Today I let It to discharge to 0%, and then i pluged it to the charger. When the phone turned on, it showed me 5%.
    It's lifetime havent changed so spectacularly, but i guess its a bit shorter with the same usage.
    Is this behaviour normal after hard reset? 
    Thanks 

    After update my lumia 800 is failing to recongnise earphone. It keeps playing music on speaker. If I restart my phone then for few mins it is playing music in earphone. But after few mins once again music playback is starting through speaker.
    what should be the problem? will hard reset solve this problem? If yes, how to hard reset nokia lumia 800.
