Creating playlists on Lumia 820

Ok, finally after connecting via usb cable I managed to get some music onto my Lumia 820, but can't see a way of creating playlists with the music app. There's a 'playlists' placeholder, but it just says: 
"It's lonely in here. Connect to your computer or go to the XBox Music Store to add music"
So what I want to do is just group couple of songs which are stored in my phone's memory into playlists. I can't see a way of doing this? 
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Much easier to manage playlists using a PC.
Create and name a playlist using the phone, single song. Start it playing and tap the bold song name below the album art. On the new page tap the save icon on bottom, give the playlist a name.  Pause the song.
Cinnect the phone to the PC via USB. In windows explorer open the music folder, open the playlist folder. Right click the playlist you just created, select the recources tab. That's what is is named in Win8, other OP systems may name it differently. In Win8 it may be hidden.
Now you have the recources tab with it's window. You can drag and drop songs that are on the phone Into the playlist. Using the window you can delete songs and change the play order.

    Thanks Gary for your reply, But its all hell process. previously i have samsung galaxy phone its very easy to create playlists of songs that i like. Nokia or windows sucks..... i am getting all unwanted songs when i added songs to add now playing and worst thing is i cannot delete unwanted songs from the playlist. Its all mess. and the worst thing is the volume control it is same for music and ringtone, if we reduce the sound while listening to songs it reduces the volume of the phone ringtone which leads to missed calls.

  • WP8.1. on Lumia 820 is permanently synchronising G...

    Hello,
    My Windows Phone 8.1 at Lumia 820 is draining my battery. I think I found the cause: it is permanently synchronising one of the Google accounts I've set up. As it is syncing I can't open the account nor remove it - let alone edit the settings of the account. The other Google account is creating no such issue. I can't find anything weird in the settings of the Google account itself.
    My Lumia 820 is fully up-to-date it says.
    What can I do?

    Which is of course something I would have liked to avoid. However, it seems to be the only thing left as the soft reset didn't work either

  • Phone contacts issue (Lumia 820)

    I recently got the Lumia 820 loving it but there is one thing I hate and can't figure out how to solve.
    (I've searched the forums but couldn't find a clear answer)
    I imported my contacts throught the Import contacts from sim option
    But now all my hotmail contacts are in my phonebook and I don't want them there. If I disable hotmail they are all gone.
    My hotmail account is from my xbox so I don't even have the phone number of the people added on there, so you can guess it's pretty anoying trying to find who you're searching to call
    (Only have option to show hotmail contacts and facebook contacts, if i disable them both i don't have any contacts in my phonebook anymore. Not even those who are on my sim)
    Short said, I only want my contacts who are on my sim to be in my contact list on my phone
    Solved!

    Your Windows Phone sits under your Microsoft account just like your Xbox does. IF you do not want to see the Xbox contacts but still want to have access to the functionality you get from using the account as your primary account you will have to do some juggling to get this to work.
    If you have not set up your L820 completely yet the easiest way would be to create a new account at outlook.com, then reset the phone and register it using the new account. Now when you  import your contacts they will sync to the new outlook.com account.
    Now reset the phone again and switch back to the hotmail account as primary. Then add the outlook account as a second Microsoft account and allow syncing contacts (and calendars). You can now disable the contacts from the People hub for the hotmail account through PEOPLE > ... > settings > filter contacts and disable for hotmail.
    This way your Xbox account will still sync with the games and achievements on the phone while your contacts are on the second account. When adding contacts select the second account for them to sync to..
    If you have the phone set up you can go to outlook.com, create the new account then logout and log back in with your hotmail account and export the contacts to your PC. Open the CSV file in a texteditor and remove all the original hotmail contacts. Then log in to te new outlook.com account and import the CSV file into that to get the contacts there.
    You can link the two accounts (hotmail and outlook.com account) to easy switch between them fro there.
    Let us know if you have any further questions on this..

  • Lumia 820 & 920 treated as tablets

    Hi, i have just recently started to use muse for mobile sites. I have created 5 sites and on my daughters Lumia 820 and my Lumia 920 all sites show as ../tablet/index.html. However with her old 3GS and my iPhone4 the same sites show as .../phone/index.html. This is using IE as the browser. If I use the google app to look up the urls then it only displays the full desktop version. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    The notification light using one of the three light at the bottom of the screen has been suggested to Microsoft. No idea if they will adopt it or not.
    There is no low power screen saver. Large displays use a lot of power even if there is only a little shown on the screen. However, someone was saying the other day that there is however a clock app available in Marketplace that keeps the screen on to use as a clock overnight. I don;t have the name of the app but I am sure it wont be too difficult to find in the Marketplace. It will have a significant effect on battery life.
    You can send suggestions to Microsoft using the link below.

  • Moving photos or music to SD card Lumia 820

    I own a lumia 820 and recently bought a SanDisk 32GB Class4 SD card.
    I tried to move all the photos from phone memory to SD Card memory as described below:
    1. Inserted new SD card
    2. Selected all photos from 'Camera Roll' and choose 'save to SD Card'
    3. After the copying is finished, i see a new album created with all the photos i chose to copy in step 2 with album name 'Date when i copied them'.
    4. I selected and deleted all the files from 'Camera Roll' album.
    5. After 1hr or so, i see that new album created on SD card has multiple copies of same photo. This was seen for few photos and not for all photos in the album.
    6. I manually selected duplicate copies of the photos and deleted.
    7. After few hours i see that original photos in new album are not seen. These lost photos are the same photos which i thought were duplicate(as seen in album) and deleted as mentioned in step 6.
    Coz of this i have lost many photos and i cannot get those moments back.
    Mean while i had also copied all the music files from phone memory to SD card memory similar way.
    I see duplicate music files for half of my music collection. I am not willing to delete these duplicate files which will lead to deletion of original file.
    I see that number of duplicate copies of same music files increased, ex; i see 28 duplicates for s same music file. this is annoying and makes music browsing an irritation.
    Does anyone face this issue, have found any solution, did Nokia has acknolwedged such bugs.
    Since i have a old macbook from 2008, i cannot connect my lumia 820 to my laptop. So backup is not a primary solution for me.
    Any suggestion or help is most appreciated.

    Hello, I have a Lumia 620 and I had same problem with contacts and I've found out that they were sync to Windows Live which keeps in memory even what you have deleted, so pratically you're not deleting anything on the server but you can actually restore anything of what you think had be permanently ereased!!!! I didn't try to move pictures from the phone to the SD card, I do it with the computer and it works no problems. Are you sure it's not messing up with the sync? Probably I'm not of great help...anyway

  • How can I use home sharing between our iphones (create playlists from both accounts at once)

    How can I use home sharing between our iphones, so that we can create playlists with songs from both of our libraries?  We share a Macbook Pro (separate accounts) and each have the new iphone, but when I have my iphone and try to create a new playlist, I can only grab songs from one account.  Is there a way to create a playlist using both accounts since we are sharing?
    Does it have to be created within iTunes first on our Mac?

    The short answer: because Home Sharing isn't designed for sharing apps, and apps aren't designed to be shared.
    The longer answer:  Think of it like this...
    You download some music in iTunes.  With Home Sharing, another user can listen to it by streaming it over the network.  But the data itself is on your computer.  If you turn off the computer or take it off the network, the other user can't access it.
    But if you send another user the app, they aren't just streaming the data- they installed it on their iOS device.  Because they weren't the one that purchased it, such a transfer could easily be considered "piracy" or "stealing," and nobody likes that (least of all, Apple). 
    When iTunes sees this app, it obviously recognized it, as if saying, "Hey, how did you get this app on your device, if I have no record of you purchasing/downloading it from the iTunes store?"

  • Does anyone know how to create playlists step by step?

    I am currently using Musicmatch as I found Itunes a bit fiddly but happy to change back if this helps me - may need help with moving them across!
    I really want to setup playlists but I'm having a big problem. I have set my IPOD to manual update.
    When I setup a playlist, I set it up directly on my IPOD drive within MusicMatch, right click new playlist (not in the playlist library within Musicmatch then sync them).
    I thought doing this would mean my IPOD would see it and I wouldn't have to sync my IPOD each time when I load it up to the PC - then I and drag and drop songs to the IPOD playlist but they never appear in the new playlist and just duplicate in my first playlist (which has all my songs in it)- I end up with 2 of everything.
    I read on my instructions that I can create playlists without a PC so directly on my IPOD I presume) by navigating to the song using the wheel then selecting the song till it flashes. When I try to select playlists from my menu - playlist is never there.
    Am I being stupid? I have Win XP with 4th gen IPOD - haven't updated any software - do I need to do that?
    Please help - I keep running out of battery by jumping around to the songs I want to hear! I don't want to put anymore on there now as its already a nightmare getting through the 600 songs!

    There is no such thing as an international iTunes account.
    If the iTS is available to a particular country and you qualify - address and credit card from that country - you can open an iTS account and shop from the selecton available to that store.

  • My problems with Nokia Lumia 820

    I was a big fan of Nokia until two months back when I purchased Nokia Lumia 820. It's been two months and I'm having tough time with the handset.
    First it was the heat issue. I know smartphones are tend to get heated up due to processors. But my mobile gets heated up in less than 5 minutes when I play games like real football, wordament and even simple games. I thought I got a bad device out of the box. When I say heated up it's not warm, its hot and uncomfortable hotness. I can't hold my device until the heat subsides. I visited the Nokia care for raising the heat issue but they said they can't do much and updated my mobile to the latest firmware (1308) and asked me to check after the update and the heat issue is still the same. Just when I thought things can't get any worse it did. My mobile has visited Nokia repair factory already twice in less than two months of purchase. The first major problem occurred three weeks back when the display would be switching on and off randomly and finally the mobile got bricked. The screen went blank completely and the device was unresponsive. Along with that complaint I've again raised a complaint about the device getting heated up uncomfortably. 14 days after I submitted my device to Nokia care I got my device back only to find that the screen isn't responsive to touch in the middle within a week's time. The upper part and the lower parts are responsive, it's the middle strip that's not responding to touch.
    I've again given my mobile to Nokia care and they have sent it to the repair unit. In two months of my purchase the mobile has spent more than 4 weeks at Nokia repair outlet. It is still undergoing repair in the Nokia repair factory. I had least expected this from Nokia.
    Some of my friends who have windows 8 phones from Nokia haven't experienced any problems so far, not even heating problem. It's safe to say that the problem is only with my device.
    It's two months old and I've got it from the Nokia priority dealer.
    What'd you call a device which spends more than 40% of the time in the repair factory in two months of the purchase. Even the 3 months EMI's haven't been payed fully.
    I've encountered lots of inconvenience after purchasing the device.

  • I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it was plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now I am unable to do that. I am able to drag songs and albums but not my playlists.

    I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it is plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now am unable to do that. I can drag songs and albums to the ipod, but not my playlists. It used to be so easy, am I missing something here?

    Plug your iPod into your computer, it will begin to sync. Now check to see if the playlists have been added.
    If not, go to the songs tab under your iPod when it is connected to iTunes, Unless you have checked "Sync all songs (or something to those words)" you should have an option on what you can put on your iPod. Make sure to check the playlists that you want on your iPod.

  • I have downloaded all my music from the cloud to my new iPhone and created playlists so I can listen to it when not it wifi like when on a plane. If I turn on iTunes Match will I still have this music still downloaded?

    I have downloaded all my music from the cloud to my new iPhone and created playlists so I can listen to it when not it wifi like when on a plane. If I turn on iTunes Match will I still have this music still downloaded? The online information suggests all my music will be replaced. Will I have to download it again??

    What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not an iTunes "account."  The account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use to sign in to the iTunes Store and make purchases.  It is also used with iCloud.  iPods (that are not iPod touch) are associated with your iTunes library, not to your Apple ID.
    So, I think you probably just need to set up (or update) automatic syncing for the iPod.  If it's not set up to sync those new songs, iTunes still syncs the iPod, but it syncs nothing
    In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of iTunes window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, the iPod appears under DEVICES, when it is connected.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of buttons, starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This is the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music (if it's not already checked).  If your iTunes music library fits completely on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  On the lists below, checkmark the playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres that you want on the iPod.  When you click Apply, the songs from your selection sync to the iPod.
    One convenient way to set this up (if you can't sync the entire iTunes music library) is to create a new playlist in your iTunes library.  Name it "iPod Songs" (or whatever you want).  Put ALL songs that you want on the iPod on this playlist, including those new songs.  Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select this playlist under Playlists.  Going forward, to update songs on the iPod, just update that playlist in your iTunes library (add/remove songs).  The next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button), iTunes automatically syncs the same changes to the iPod.

  • Access points settings Lumia 820

    I just want to know if it is possible to have both MMS and GPRS active at the same time in windows 8 phones. That was possible with Symbian but not possible on my Lumia 820.

    Hi ddt1,
    Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions! 
    Regarding your query, the access point that you have on the Lumia 820 will be used as one. If you have both MMS and GPRS, you can use them both at the same time. You don't need to choose between the two ( 2 ) access point anymore. Your statement "not possible on my Lumia 820" means that you are having trouble with the phone. Can you tell us what exactly is happening on the phone? Is there any error happening on it? If there is, can you tell us what the error is?
    We're looking forward to your response for us to further assist you.

  • Anyone know how to restore the itunes created playlists?

    In a fit of stupidity, I deleted the itunes created playlists(purchased music, recently played, etc.). I was just wondering if anyone knew how to get those back on my source list, and also on my ipod mini. I tried to go the smart playlist route, but there is no criteria for recently played or purchased music. Any help would be greatly appreciated:)
    Thanks

    "I tried to go the smart playlist route, but there is no criteria for recently played or purchased music"
    Sure there is....
    For 'Recently Played', you can:
    1) 'Last Played' 'is in the last' xx days/weeks/months OR
    2) Uncheck the 'Match' condition and check the 'Limit' condition to however many songs/GBs/hours selected by 'most recently played'
    For Purchased Music:
    Match 'Kind' contains 'Protected'
    Recreate the Smart Playlists yourself. Name them anything you desire.

  • Lumia 820 won't switch to 4G

    Hi,
    I have an Lumia 820 phone.
    My provider had recently upgraded it's network to 4G, but my phone won't connect to it.
    When I manually search for networks, I can see my network with 2G/3G/4G. I have set the max speed to 4G, but the highest speed my phone gives me is H+.
    I have been to a shop where they have tested my sim in an Lumia 920 (they didn't have a 820 in stock) but it
    would connect to 4G automaticaly.
    My provider uses LTE 1800, wich should be supported by my 820.
    Is there an configuration that I missed?
    Is there a way to force the phone to use 4G iso 3G?
    Is there something else I can test/do?
    I live in Belgium.
    I have version 8.0.10328.78
    revision hardware 1.0.0.0
    Thanks allready!

    Yes, the only thing I haven't tried (besides going to my carrier as suggested by Nokia Customer Care) is the master reset. My old phone is a Lumia 900, it has no problem picking up a 4G or LTE signal. When I put my SIM card into the 820 all I get is 3.5G.
