Complaints of windows 7.8 phones

There is no updates are provided by Nokia for windows7.8

There's really not much to complain about. The 7.8 phones were discontinued quite some time ago and the announcement that they were not being updated/phased out was made almost two years ago now. But if you must you can go HERE or HERE.

  • ICloud email no longer working on Window 7.8 Phone

    I have been receiving my Apple emails on my Windows 7.8 Phone successfully for the last 2 years. About 3 months ago emails could no longer be sent or received and I typically get the following error codes dependant upon how I have my IMAP/SMTP settings configured; 800c2746 or 80072FA8.
    Apple email is working fine from my Android tablet and also from my Windows 7 PC and I've tried replicating these settings on my phone without success. I've googled the problem and tried all the different set up options I can find but not have worked. I'm beyond frustrated now and I suspect Apple has broken something during the recent iCloud work for IOS or Yosemite as nothing has changed on any of my devices and it's only my Windows phone that no longer works.
    Does ANYONE have a Windows 7 Phone (mine is a Nokia 800) that is successfully sending and receiving iCloud emails as of today, 2nd November 2014. If you do would you be kind enough to tell me what server settings you are using.
    Thanks.

    We have exatcly the same problem with Samsung omnia 7 (Windows phone 7.8).
    We are using the Server settings from this page: iCloud: Mail server settings for email clients - Apple Support
    We have this problem since mid september and no solution.

  • Help! My Sony Ericsson T715A can no longer connect to my PC (Windows 7) in phone mode...

    Sony Ericsson T715A: I can no longer connect in to my PC (Windows 7) in phone mode; so I can no longer sync contax, calendar, tasks etc. with MS Office Outlook. Also cannot back up phone, or
    update software. Can only drag files out into Explorer folders. When I connect the phone, it has to be on. Instead of going right to phone/PC mode, I get a message on it saying "Phone functions are
    not available in File Manager mode. Continue?" I say yes, whereupon the phone seems to restart, & then the Microsoft Autoplay folder comes up, or else I can find it in "devices and printers." R-
    click the icon, "properties" Identifies it only as a generic Microsoft device. I tried running the computer troubleshooter on it, which came up w/nothing.
        After some period of time I will notice that the phone either rings and I can answer it, or it has stopped recharging, and the icon has disappeared from the PC.
        I had the 2007 version of PC Suite and PC Companion, and when I tried to install it on my 2010 PC w/ Windows 7 it said not compatible. I downloaded an update for that software from the SE site, but it didn't help. Then I ran the compatibility wizard in Windows 7 for PC Suite. Still no luck. I got a tip from an SE forum to uninstall all that software and download a certain package and start fresh. I am about to try that.
        Here is my question:
    ALL T HIS TIME I have still been using the OLD SIM card from my SE ZZ710i in the newer phone. I figured it works; why not preserve the newer one from wear & tear as long as poss.
    Now, it has been a while since I synched or backed up my phone. I hate to lose everything on it/the SIM card. If I install a whole new version of SE PC Suite, is it going to somehow overwrite or not work at all with my
    old SIM card? Must I insert the NEW SIM 1st, & sacrifice whatever data is on the old one, before trying the new desktop software and updateing the phone?
    As for updating the phone, which I realize wipes out data, it might be necessary.. I noticed in some Event log or other that some SE-related working file called EMMA was deleted recently, I don't know why. Anyone know anything about that?
      Phew. The End. Here's hoping.

    Dr Chris:
    Thanx for answering my Q of a month ago. As you can see from my post of 18 minutes ago, things have gone from bad to worse under my neglectful eye.
    To answer your answer:
    a. I WAS using a NEW USB cord when I posed the question.
    b. I've now downloaded the update service. I can try updating the phone from its File manager state. I'm just afraid whatever data is on it will get wiped, no?
    Point of order:
    If I've had an answer - or more than 1- to my question, but I still need to discuss it- should I Check the "Yes my question has been answered" box? I did not, here, because I thought it might result in my further questions dropping off the radar for forum experts. Please advise... \\Butter F

  • Telstra Air App For Windows 8.1 Phone

    When will Telstra be providing an Air App for WIndows 8.1 phone?

    I, for one, support this request - especially with the universal app situation and the developer tools available to help convert iOS and Android code to Windows, there really shouldn't be much blocking this app being released. By all means say you're not going to write a Windows Phone 8.1 app from scratch, but how about a Windows 10 Mobile universal app? This would run not only on phones, but also 3G/4G enabled Windows tablets. If your developers are not aware of these tools, please get them to take a look at developer.windows.com to be enlightened! Here's a link to the actual iOS and Android 'bridges' that can help migrate an app easily: https://developer.windows.com/en-us/uwp-bridges

  • Assamese Language in Windows 8.1 Phones

    Dear Microsoft,
    Yes there is Bengali language in Windows 8.1 phones. But this Bengali language doesn't allow Assamese language to type. Specially for the difference of
    ৰ  and
    ৱ. 
    Bengali language doesn't have
    ৰ  and ৱ. 
    Hence I request to include Assamese language also.
    Regards-

    You will run into many problems as pagemaker is obsolete. It really only runs under win xp. Some people claim they can get it to run on windows 7, 8 but often run into problems when it comes to printing/pdf creation.
    The other problem is that pagemaker will only support the first 255 characters in a font, which severely limits it's usefulness. There was a middle eastern version of pagemaker with special fonts, but I don't think it's still available.
    I would look into Indesign, but research the language support before commiting to Indesign, as it may require some additional software, and or workarounds. Post your question in the Indesign forums.

  • 'Windows-1252', 'Shift-JIS', etc. code pages are not supported encoding names exception in Windows 8.1 Phone

    Hi,
    We have already released our product for WinRT desktop and tablet versions.
    Now we are developing the same app for Windows 8.1 Phone. 
    We are supporting 'Windows-1250', 'Windows-1251', 'Windows-1252', 'Windows-1253', 'Windows-1254', 'Shift-JIS', 'GB2312' and 'Big5' in both desktop and tablet versions which uses WinRT API's.
    But in Windows 8.1 Phone version, i am getting 'ArgumentException' saying 'Windows-1252' is not a supported encoding name.
    Please help me with a solution or workaround to support the above specified code pages for Encoding.
    Regards,

  • CreateThread function in windows 8.1 phone Applications

    Hi,
    can we use the CreateThread function in Windows 8.1 phone App's?
    Windows Phone 8.1: This function is supported for Windows Phone Store apps on Windows Phone 8.1 and later.
    Above line from MSDN, I see that it is supported for windows 8.1 and later. Does this mean it can used "without any" difference from the Desktop app's? Old desktop SW can be directly ported keeping this function intact to create the threads? 
    I'm asking this because, I have read in few (albeit OLD, blogs DOT msdn DOT com/b/shawnhar/archive/2012/03/12/createthread-for-windows-8-metro.aspx?PageIndex=2) blogs that WINRT does not have this and we cannot directly use this call, and port this to either
    task based or have some other wrapper function as shown in the link.
    Thanks.

    Note that there is a workaround for Windows Store apps.

  • You can't send SMS or text messages to a non-Apple phone (such as an Android, Windows, or BlackBerry phone), because the messages are sent as iMessage

    Yes, you can. I do it many, many times a day. If you're trying to send a message to someone who used to have an iPhone and who didn't disable iMessage before switching phones, they will need to unregister their number with iMessage:

    You also need to have SMS enabled with your carrier to send messages to non-iPhones.

  • Flash Player doesn't work on Window 7 mobile phone

    The Adobe Flash Player does not work on the Windows 7 mobile phone when you are randomly surfing the Internet. Pandora Internet Radio does not work at all, or any Internet Radio site.  This is really a shame, that Microsoft and Adobe would allow a product to be released without all the functions and applications to meet the customers's needs. It appears that I will be returning my Windows 7 mobile phone. Very Unsatisfied.

    Hi, I have the following info that may be helpful. If it isn't then I certainly would call Microsoft or visit Microsoft.com and look for the Win 7 mobile phone info and or forum.
    You can also call your carrier, which should have info on whether Flash Player is available for it.

  • [WPSL]Will Windows 10 for phone supports Silverlight app?

    As the title.
    It is really close for Microsoft to publish the Windows 10.
    And now I am trying to develop an app with Windows store SDK.
    But I feel that the Windows 8.0 (Silverlight) SDK is more steady (also with more useful nuget).
    So I want to ask that will Windows 10 for phone support silverlight app?
    It will help me to determine to develop with which SDK now.
    Thanks very much!
    Victor

    Yes. Existing Windows Phone apps will run on Windows 10 Mobile.
    For new apps I'd recommend writing Universal apps unless you have a strong need to support Windows Phone 8. This will give you full access to Windows 10 features (if you write a Windows 10 app) or position the app to upgrade to Windows 10 (if you write a
    Windows Phone 8.1 Runtime app to target current devices).

    my iphone won't work after fatal error occurred installing iOS5.1 have followed allsteps to reconfigure software onto windows still no phone just a usb and itunes picture on screen

    Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
    Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Disable your firewall
    Disable your antivirus
    In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
    If it doesn't recognize the phone:
    Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
    While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
    As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
    If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it.
