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.

Cannot update Lumia 625 to Lumia Black or Cyan

I hava a Global Variant Lumia 625 in India.(It was bought unlocked from UAE). The software version is still lumia amber, i checked for updates many times but it still says "your phone is upto date". how can i get it to update??

Welcome to Nokia Discussions, ShahiMCLT.
To verify the latest version available on your phone, use the Nokia Software Recovery Tool - https://expertcentre.nokia.com/en/articles/kbarticles/Pages/Nokia-Software-Recovery-Tool.aspx
Note: Nokia Software Recovery tool deletes all the data from your phone. If possible, make a backup of your phone’s data before using the tool.
Good luck

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.

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.

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

Cannot enable Internet Sharing on ATT Lumia 900 du...

I have a Lumia 900 in the US. It was only sold by ATT in the US. I however am not with ATT, I'm with Straight Talk, an MVNO. When I try to enable Internet Sharing on the phone it pops up a message saying I need to contact ATT. I have no business relationship with ATT and they cannot help me. I would like to remove this message so I can get Internet Sharing working on my phone. The phone is unlocked, but that didn't seem to make the message go away.

Ok after feeling very positive that this was now going to work I can report that my call 611 ATT notification is now back and the internet sharing does not seem to want to be available.
Other observations that are worth noting.
1) You need to configure the internet APN using Nokia Network Setup with the fast.t-mobile.com and the MMS with the epc.t-mobile.com or the internet connection cuts out every time you hit LTE speeds. So thats only three entries required in the config the last being the MMSC address available on the T-mobile site.
I am enjoying my handset on T-mobile with the internet speeds, I would still like to use the internet sharing so I will continue to drill down and look or a way around the issue.

Update 7.8 nokia lumia 900

hi all
i am currently in india and use nokia lumia 900. i got this lumia from usa and thus it has a different RM (radio module) than is used in india... i want to know whether i will be eligible for 7.8 update..... i was told that i would not be able to use nokia music because of the above mentioned fact...... so i really want to know whether my device in india is compatible with 7.8 update
Solved!
Go to Solution.

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...

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.

Lumia 900 - My view

Hello all, so after long debate I had finally decided to upgrade my Nokia N8 (Brilliant phone)
I now own a Nokia Lumia 900 - white. I don't want to start of like most do on forums with problems here and there but a nice list of nice features I have come to enjoy.
So the first thing I love is the black sleek background - very minimal and looks amazing. the phone it's self looks great and people have been impressed by it because it's not your common android/iphone.
The main menu screen, the layout is fresh and very much pulls you in for a closer look. the phone itself is very smooth and internet browsing is a doddle, and a pleasure to use.
The screen clarity blows you away, and watching films is pretty good overall.
I have really enjoyed exploring around this phone and there are a few updates I feel is needed, I will list those things below:
firstly I think for me I love T9 and to exclude that is a massive blow for me, especially as I prefer to use my phone one handed and can be at times difficult with the size of the phone and not able to get my thumb right across to reach the little qwerty keyboard, although it's response is brilliant with two finger typing.
Also to tie in with the keyboard, there is no Right or Left arrows on the keyboard and because of the implament of touch a word to change it stops you from entering that word, therefore you have to delete letters to get to the mistake.
For my personalization is a massive factor, I would like to create 'Folders' in the sub catergory to make browsing that much easier, as I do not want to clog my homescreen up.
Zune, now by what I can see this is almost ment to be the 'iTunes' of windows phone... ridiculously frustrating, files I want to addis a mare. all my music and photos are on my external hard drive, so in order for zune to see them i need to copy them to my zune folders then to find it on zune itself, then synic... There is an option to select which folders it searches through but because it's a plug in hard drive it doesn't want to know.
I just to open the phone as a normal folder where I can drag and drop anything into, without going through the pain of a third party program. VERY, VERY POOR - please sort this.
I would love to see a connectivity bar, like what was introduced on the N8 on any screen where you pull it down and you had instant access to turn on any data/wifi/bluetooth connections, how it is right now I have to go deep into the menu to do this.
One other thing I asked for before going ahead with this phone was I wanted the FM transmitter, I spoke to the Nokia rep, who assured me there were a few apps that would allow me to do the same as I could with my N8 where I can play through a radio without wires or bluetooth. to find that I CANNOT, andfrom what I see it is a hardware thing, not a software thing, so I really feel misled. That was one massive thing my friends always went wow about and the one thing I used daily in my car, and at work.
Also, when I first used my bluetooth I was able to send and recieve stuff via it. now it doesn't connect to any other device, just says 'not supported' is this a problem, or is it just like iPhone where you are only compatible with certain things.
I just want to mention, would be nice to see my music organised a lot better on the phone as well, I think as it stands it is pretty poor, think less is more, it can be a bit OTT on the music menu side.
This phone has so much potiental, and I am loving having it. This is just a few of the things that effect me and, would like to see happen, if anyone can spread light on any of the above I mention that would be brilliant.
Keep up the good work Nokia, people laughed at android when it launched, now it's taken over iPhone. I know windows will be a lot better than any of those could!
Thanks for reading guys and girls!
-Dean

Every little detail you have explained here is 100% right. I switched over from Nokia E7 3 months back to Lumia 900 and I still haven't gotten used to this qwerty keyboard. I downloaded a paid app for T9 but you have to go into the app to write a message and its not integrated into the phone where it can give you the option in the keyboard setting to switch between t9 and qwerty.
the music player does not go into landscape mode which I regularly use while driving and that is really frustrating.
You cannot use any other headphones with this phone other than the ones in the box as I have a Nokia multimedia headphone which has a pause play next, previous and volume control buttons which I was using with my E7 and its a bother when you are listening to music while jogging as you have to take out your phone every time to do something, unlock the screen or swipe.
I miss the communication bar too.
If Nokia was coming with a new phone, it should have had all the people in their minds who were so very comfortable with using these simple tools Nokia had provided to them in each and every phone Nokia made over all these years before designing a new phone.

Trouble with Lumia 900 navigation button not worki...

Hei guys,
This afternoon, all of a sudden, without nothing happened, my 3 navigation buttons (back, start and search) on my nokia lumia 900 stopped working. I really can't understand what happened since 2 minutes before the buttons were working perfectly and then the sensibility of the button is completely zero.
Tried to turn off the phone several times, but it didn't worked at all. Searched around the web but noone seems having the same problem. I found only one guy that posted a similar problem like mine but recieved only an answer that didn't look really helpful (turn off the phone for 3 days and see later).
All the rest of the touch screen still works perfectly, it's just the three navigation button that don't work, even tapping all the time. there's no sign of response from the phone.
I really have no idea what's happened. Did someone had a similar, if not the same problem? any suggestion how to fix it?
please help guys
Thanks.

I know this is a month old but all of a sudden this morning I begane having the exact same problem.
My troubleshooting tasks so far have been to reboot the phone about 3 times.
I have hard reset my phone with just holding the power button down (not sliding the screen when asked to). Connected it to my computer to make sure it was updated.
Deleted all new text messages (there was a bug a while back that can cause Windows 7 to lock up on certain formatted text messages. Then rebooted the phone again
Deleted all new email messages from my google account on the phone. Rebooted the phone.
And still I do not have any of my bottom buttons usable. Has anyone figurec this out yet? Every time I do something I have reboot the phone since I cannot back up or get to the home screen.

Lumia 900: Speaker volume too loud, headphone volu...

I know this issue has been posted before, but I wanted to see if there are any updates. There was a firmware update to fix the purple hue problem, and was hoping this that this issue would be resolved along with it, but no such luck. The external speaker cannot get quieter than 7/30. Anything below that seems to do little or nothing. The alarms are scary loud even at 1/30. I can't turn music at work because even the lowest volume is WAY too high.
The other problem is that the volume out of the headphone jack is way too soft. I have to bring the volume up to 30/30 to not have to crank the volume to a deafening level in the car, for example. If I forget to bring the volume down to 1/10 when I get out of the car, I get startled by a loud notification. It's a constant game of going from 1/30 to 30/30 and back to 1/30. It is very frustrating! Can we expect a fix for this sometime soon?
-Jonathan

I agree there is a volume bug on the Lumia 900 - I have had my black Lumia for about 5-6 days now. I used my previous phones as my alarm in the morning and wanted to continue to do the same with this device. With the preinstalled alarms app, regardless of whether I have the volume at 1/30 , 15/30 or 25/30, when the alarm sounds it is incredibly loud. Not a very good way to wake up in t he morning so I am currently still using my IPhone as my alarm clock. Let's get a bug fix out for this Nokia; I am having to use a 3GS to pick up your slack.

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.
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.

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!
