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.

  • Is LED display video cord too short to use with Mac Pro?

    I've seen the new 24-in cinema display used with a macbook and noted how short the cord is. Now I'm thinking of getting the new Mac Pro with that same display but won't the cord be too short for me to set the tower near the floor on the side of my desk? I don't want to have to set that tower ON my desktop just so the connector will reach the minidisplay port.
    Any thoughts?

    I have exactly this set up, and it (just) works for me.
    The cable is about 42" from the back of the monitor to the three connectors at the other end, which allows me to have the Mac Pro on the floor, and the monitor on my desk. Obviously, it will depend on your desk height, cable access, etc., but it was a bit of tight fit, so you might want to get out a tape measure and see it will work for you.

  • Apple Watch band is too short for me

    I've checked out size of band for Apple Watch and all of these model are too short for me. Even Classic Buckle that is the longest type of band in all family is still not fit. My wrist size is 230mm. Feel so sad...... Hope Apple will made longer band size in the next gen.

    Let me try this again. (This is for a stainless 38).
    I saw the specs on the band. I tried to use a tape measure to determine if it would fit, and I should have had help as that is hard to do alone. But is seemed alright, and I ordered the watch.
    I am a watch junkie. I have never had a problem like this. You come to expect a certain "standard" when you buy a watch, and ALL of my watches have a longer
    strap, and I guess (Shame on me) I assumed so would the Apple Watch.
    The band fits, so to speak, but the part that is left after you pass it though the buckle, is not long enough, and the band keeper-loop thingey does not have enough band to keep it in place. Therefore you are constantly having to slide the loop back over it to keep it in place.
    I could send it back, but you might imagine how I feel about that. I made sure I got mine on the 24th because I stayed up and ordered it right after midnight on the 10th. I really wanted the watch.

  • 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.

  • Channel length too short for calculation

    I've just switched from 9.1 to 2010 and I was told that our VBS scripts wouldn't need updating - not so it seems.
    I have the following piece of code:
    Call ChnAlloc("Input PSD") 
    L1=Cno("RealPart")
    L2=Cno("ImaginaryPart")
    Call FormulaCalc("Ch('Input PSD'):=Ch(L1)^2+Ch(L2)^2")
    but this doesn't work anymore. I get an error message saying that channel 7 (Input PSD) is too short for calculation. Previously I would have checked the data matrix but I can't find this anymore so I assume DIAdem works in a different way know. The help files suggest that the channel length option for ChnAlloc is optional so I don't understand why it thinks the channel is too short.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks, Si.

    Hi SI,
    You only need a minor addition, and you get the benefit that all new channels can have their length(s) dynamically changed.  Please add this line of code after creating the channel and before the FormulaCalc() command:
    ChnLength("Input PSD") = NeededNumberOfRows
    Back in the dark days of the DIAdem memory matrix, DIAdem would by default launch with 60 static channels of exactly 8196 rows each.  As you apparently know, you could customize the memory matrix to have fewer or more channels, and you could change their static lengths assigned when DIAdem launched.  The fully dynamic channel lengths are a vast improvement, but it does mean that for FormulaCalc() commands you need to tell the channel to be big enough first.  Interestingly, none of the ANALYSIS commands require you to do explicitly set the channel length before writing to them-- just the channel calculator.
    Ask if you have any further trouble,

  • Clips too short for transistions?

    i am adding images to my movie from the photos tab and when i add a transistion between them, it says clip too short for transistions. now why is that? i added transistions between other images in the beginning, so why is it giving me problems right now?

    Well then how come when i click apply on the ken burns setting for the picture, it shows 9:01, sometimes 10:01, then i add the transistion, and it says too small.. heres the new thing that just happened, i added a reflection theme and added an image in the drop zone.. now when i add a transistion right after it to a clip that shows 10:12, it says the previous clip must have a duration of 9:01. the theme itself shows 7:01.. so how do i change the duration of the theme?

  • Why is the charger cord so short?

    Besides cutting costs is there a logical reason behind a cord so short that I cannot set the phone on my desk which is directly next to the wall outlet.
    Is there another option so I may use my iPhone at my desk or standing up while it is charging?
    Thanks

    As I stated above, it's an EXTENSION cord, not a longer dock cable (there is no longer dock cable available). You connect the male end of the USB extension cord to the AC adapter, and connect the male end of your 3' dock cable to the female end of the USB extension cord.
    Or, just get an AC extension cord. Or a powered USB hub for your desk. Or, just unplug the iPhone - it has a battery. Or, use a Bluetooth headset (which is what I do) - then you can get up and walk around.
    So many options...

  • 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.

  • Keyboard Cord too short

    The USB connection cord on my keyboard is too short to connect to the back of the iMac from the underside of the desk. I suppose I could get a wireless keyboard, but it seems wasteful not to use the keyboard that came with the computer if the only problem is a short cord. Is there such a thing as a USB extension cord?
    (This would also solve the problem of using a wired mouse on the right side of my iBook G4 which has it's USB ports on the left side. It has no Bluetooth built in and I keep knocking out the little Bluetooth stick that goes in a USB port.)
    Thanks!

    A shopping follow up in case anyone else with the same problem reads this thread:
    I had trouble finding a USB extension cord at Office Depot, Staples, and Radio Shack. They have them but not with the right connections at the ends. Be sure you look for one that says A/A , A to A , or A Male to A Female. What the stores here stock were almost all A/B which is what you want to connect a camera or a printer to a USB port on a computer. One salesman sold me an A/B and a separate B/A adapter, but the keyboard didn't like that, no response. I ended up ordering the right cable from an online company -- Cables to Go -- for much less $$ than any of the cables at a retail store.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Aux cable for Mini Cooper too short for Iphone.

    Just purchased a Mini Cooper and the AUX cord that connects the Iphone to the Bluetooth is too short to reach my vehicial mount.  I need a longer cord or an extention.  Anyone have any ideas?

    You said it was an aux cable. nothing you said indicated it was proprietary in any way. If it is not an aux cable, but a dock cable, those are usually proprietary to the auto manufacturer. If they don't have anything, try e-bay, but beware the cheap chinese junk out there.

  • Random Reboots for Lumia 900

    I bought a factory unlocked Lumia 900 from Amazon and now seeing random reboots every day. I put my phone down and after 10 mins if i check it, the phone is dead. I need to boot that up again. This is completely random. And now nokia is saying that this phone is not having international warranty since this phone was bought in Singapore and sold in USA by manufacturer.
    Does anyone know\aware of any fix?

    Have you checked this article for basic troubleshooting? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2749480
    An update will be released to fix minor issues with the phone early 2013 but no specific date yet. With regards to the warranty, Nokia does not have international warranty. For full details, check here: http://www.nokia.com/sg-en/support/troubleshooting/nokia-manufacturer-s-limited-warranty/
