I think lumia 920 is too big

Hi,nokia guys!
      I am a chinese nokia user.My current cellphone is E71 and I love it very much,it's beauitiful and suitable. When N9 was issued,it was a surprise to me.Good  externals and nice experiment,perfect sreen size,the only shortage is lark of apps.
      Then the lumia800 came out,it just looked like N9 with a new OS wp7,everything was right but one thing that the next OS wp8 was annonced almost the same time ,we all hold the money to wait wp8.
      N9 and lumia 800 have 3.9 inch sreen,not too big not  too small,just perfect.But lumia900 get bigger,the screen is 4.3 inch and the phone is bigger than the sreen,I don't know why all over world want to make a bigger phone ,it just a cellphone,we don't want it getting larger an larger.
      You guy must know that most people are laughing at iphone5 recently ,because it get longer for a larger screen.though the 4.0inch sreen is acceptable to me,I still think the size of the sreen remain 3.8-4.0 inch is perfect,not to big not too small,otherwise you guys can make a phone which the sreen size is same as the phone.In that day ,larger sceen phone will be nice ,but do not bigger than sumsung galaxy note,it's not a cellphone though it can make a call.Friend around me agreed that using galaxy note to make a call is stupid especially holding in hand,very very 囧.
       So,you must know what i want to express. lumia 920 is too big ,and lumia 820 is also too big.Size as N9 is good.I won't buy lumia 920 in such a size,though the rest of lumia 920 is shining!

Phone size is a balance of how much information can be displayed on the screen, comfort in the hand, useability and durability.

How well the polycarbonate body of the Lumia survives that drop from the top of the car is what really sold me.  The polycarbonate gives you a beautiful design that is durable enough you don't have to cover it up in a massive case.  What the point of a nice looking phone if it's just going to be wrapped in a big hunk of rubber anyway?  After watching the torture test the Lumia 900 I started thinking about real world usage senarios.  The iPhone is legendary for how fragile it is.  Just about everyone I see with one has it wrapped in a massive case.  So I made up this chart for myself so I could actually compare some hard numbers.

When you look at it this way the 920 is actually thinner than the 900, and you get a much bigger screen than on an iPhone5 wrapped in a box.

  • Scans are too big Can I re-size a scan?

    I scan a lot of contracts and I just bought my photosmart 7525 today.  I scanned a contract but it would not email to my account.  i'm thinking that it was too big for my email account.  The size was only 9.25 mb but it still seemed like a lot because the contract was only 24 pages of written word.  No photos!  Is there a way to re-size my scans?  If I scanned the same document from the office, it would only be about 1 mb.
    Thanks!

    Hello baseballrob3,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand you are looking to have the Photosmart 7525 scan an image / several pages of images and have them save in a smaller size.
    What is the Operating System installed on the computer you are scanning with, Windows or Mac?
    I was looking into the scanning options, (using similar software to this printer on Windows 8.1) and found a couple ways to lower the file size. If you do not need to scan in color, choose Black and white. Lowering the DPI / PPI will hugely impact the saved file size.
    Let me know if you are able to find those options within your scanning software, and if it was helpful.

  • Purchased episodes of The Killing Season 2 and tried on both ipad and computer - ipad can't download (too big maybe) and computer (Numb) is missing and others are not in sync.  Downloaded most recent itunes.  Help please.

    Purchased the first four episodes of The Killing Season 2 and am so frustrated.  Tried downloading on both my computer and iPad.  Think they might be too big for iPad - says it's downloaded but can't open even though GB says there is enough.  Am missing episode (Numb) on my computer and the ones that I have downloade to computer are not in sync with sound.  Have downloaded newest version if iTunes.  Please help.

    Here's how to do it.
    1. App Store, iTunes Store should have the same AppleID on Computer and iPhones. (Free to share apps, music and books... )
    2. Person A uses the same purchasing account for everything (ie. email, contacts and ...).
    3. Person B have the same purchase account see no. 1 (for App Store and iTunes Store) but create a second AppleID for iCal, e-mail, contacts  and etc.

  • I'm trying to send my itunes song as an attatchment but I think my file is too large

    Hi, I'm trying to send my itunes song as an email attatchment. I think my songs are too big.  Like 54g each.  I don't know why they're so big.  Maybe because they came from Garageband.  These are songs I made.  If anyone knows how to lower the gigabytes to my songs on itunes, please let me know. I don't know if it's just the songs I made from Garageband sent to itunes or if all the songs on itunes are just like that.  I think the most an email attatchment takes is 34g.  Thanks

    Hi,
    When you have the browser open (Internet Explorer) then press the Alt key on the keyboard. It should show you the file options at the top..Then uncheck work offline and check..
    Note:
    If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

    Well, a couple of thoughts:
    1. In CS3 if you have your photos converted to DNG format [and I think you can convert TIFFs] then ACR 4 that is included as a plug in when you installed CS3 [I hope I have the terminology right here, I do lots of things rote from previous experience and sometimes my directions are off] will open and DNG file [that I am sure of]. Then you can resize using the ACR controls. You can open multiple files and operate on them all at once.
    2. I think you can do this in CS3 directly as well since you can operate on multiple files there as well. The problem you will have is available ram. If you start opening 30 MB files [lots of them] you will bog down pretty fast.
    3. I think this discussion has got beyond the bounds of LR and I am willing to continue the discussion off line at [email protected]

  • POP Email on WP8 (Lumia 920) - Error Code 80004005

    Hello Astra 2025,
    Sorry to contact you on a differnet issue.
    I have had problems with my POP e-mail on my Lumia since i got it so cant receive my woork e-mails.
    Can you please point me towards a discussion that references this or do you have some background knowledge as I have hit a dead end with Nokia....
    please read the following thread:-
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/​wp8-wpemail/pop-email-on-wp8-lumia-920-error-code-​...

    I do not know how to set up an IMAP account in my shared hosting account with Plesk, which provides POP3/SMTP access to emails.
    I am a Microsoft Partner, develop Microsoft based solutions, and genuinely like the Microosft platform.  Still, after about 6 months and many hundreds of dollars later, I find myself running out of patience.  How long should I be patient for a solution, when Nokia/Microsoft/T-Mobile will not give me a solution or be part of the process.
    Microsoft Partner Support, as mentioned, told me this morning in response to a follow-up from yesterday that there is nothing else that they can do and that the situation is out of their hands.  If it is out of their hands and they do not want to do anything about it, then what about me?
    Should I bite the bullet, return the phone, and sadly jump onto the Samsung Galaxy S4 Android bandwagon?  If I do that, I will feel cheated, as I really would like to use Windows.  I kind of like the Windows Phone 8 interface.  How long should I be patient?
    Email is a big issue.  I am sure that there are other issues too, just I am not aware of it left.
    By the way, I never received an Portino update.  The last update was the one that Microsoft gave back in November, which caused the problem in the first place.
    Thanks for your comment.  :-) It is nice to know that I am not alone I am not alone in suffering with this problem.
    I really am thinking that this 80004005 error is a deal breaker, which is so sad.
    By the way, Nokia cannot do anything.  Microsoft owns the OS and it is up to the carrier, T-Mobile USA in my case, to do something about the problem.  Microsoft posts major updates, which causes breaks and annoyances. T-Mobile is resonsible for minor updates and fixes.  T-Mobile, as you can tell by visiting t-mobile.com (as of 5/2/2013) is no longer interested in the Windows platform (okay Catwalk announced, but that has the same problem.  Catwalk is a Lumia 922 or so, as I understand things).  T-Mobile will not post an update.  They never have, so why start now?

  • Lumia 920 screen broken + other problems

    Hi,
    There are many videos posted about breaking lumia 920s screen and how difficult it is.
    Well, mine broke without any effort. I've had the phone for 3,5 weeks, I have NOT dropped it or hit it anywhere nor have I scratched it with anything. I woke up yesterday morning and after writing one message and closing the monitor i noticed a crack/scratch on the right side of the screen where the buttons are located on the side (volume - lockscreen). I know most of you think I've thrown the phone somewhere or dropped it, but I have not. This crack seems to be somewhat deep but very narrow, like hair.
    Has anyone else expriences such things?
    Today I went to the place where I bought the phone and the boy working there said that "nothing we can do, won't go to guarantee" and he based his claim on previous complaints about other smartphones. However this GorillaGlass should be sturdy, but it seems that at least in my phone it broke by itself. I have the red version of the phone bought from Finland, made in China.
    On top of this, some people say when talking in the phone that my voice is coming poorly or almost not at all. This is random.
    Phone also gets -very- warm if used near the camera on the back of the phone, I do not know what chip is located in there, but the heating happens when an online software is being used that requires an internet connection - either wireless or 3G.
    And furthermore, the headphones didn't really work long, the right plug began working on/off and making some scratching sounds after maybe 3 hours of use and it seems to work depending on the position of the cord.
    Anyway, I am wondering if someone else has had their screen broken without any harm done to it? In my opinion this should NOT happen in less than a month's use of the phone. If searched from the internet (google), there are quite a few posts about scratched and cracks in lumia 920 screen but I did not find any posts from here with a quick look.
    ..And, is there anything I can do about this? it's a pity that this kind of obvious error in this certain phone I have is making it uglier and annoying me so much...
    Cheers,
    J

    The only possibility for glass breaking is the temperature change actually. I was thinking about it myself too. And this is so strange because, as you mentioned, there are videos and info about the glass' hardness around the internet to be found. However, as I live in Finland and it is (real) winter here the phone has undergone temperature changes earlier too, even more dramatic than on friday morning when I took it outside with me for 5 minutes (was only -10 outside, 22ish inside) and this is not as big a temperature change that a phone should not last really as people do live in hot and cold countries.
    Other possibility, which is also unlikely, is that the buttons on the side have something wrong with them or they have somehow bent the glass as the crack is at that edge of the screen.
    The thing is, the morning I woke up, glass was fine, nothing on it. About an hour later I reply to a message and after locking the screen I see the crack. All this time the phone was on the table facing up. Luckily there is nothing wrong with the functions or anything else with the phone related to the glass, it just makes the otherwise good looking surface a bit ugly.
    Has anyone reading this tried to use those "scratch fix solutions" found from webshops? That you apply on the glass and the scratch/dent/crack goes away? -though I doubt that's a good option to do, but it'll be a quick one and at least the crack won't bother me longer.
    It is really stupid that otherwise a very pretty and seemingly great phone which I've already grown to like more than I thought I would in such short time (after N8) has this kind of a thing in reserve for me. =(
    The live chat and call options are probably open during weekdays, thus I did not use them yet even though they were on the possible options in the nokia care (I checked it first before posting here in the first place). Also the closest Nokia care place is a bit far away, but let's see.
    Again, thanks for replies.

  • Lumia 920 Randomly Reboots / Cannot Be Turned Off

    Hello,
    I have just bought a Lumia 920 today, and now have the problems described in the thread subject... Every few minutes while idle, the phone will power down and immediately power up again. This does render the phone useless to me...
    When trying to shut it down to remove the SIM card I noticed I cannot even shut it off. It would instantly turn itself back on again.
    Did anyone else notice this kind of behaviour from their Lumia 920 (or maybe other phones as well)? I was really looking forward to this device and this really ruins it for me
    Thanks in advance!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Same thing on my Lumia 920 unit from ATT, received just today via online purchase. Began resetting within 30 minutes, and continues to do so, especially in places like voicemail and phone functions. Also fails to register initial settings like search engine (on every reset, goes back to Bing instead of Google) and other things I've had to re-configure 3 or 4 times. It took about four tries to get a Texas map database to download, despite using a home wi-fi right next to the wireless router.
    I don't think this is a SIM problem at all, because the rests don't always take place in the phone section. And I've even turned the cell phone data feature off, and still the reboots. It MAY be the micro-USB connector, because since I've been charging the phone while initializing it, the resets happen with it inserted. But this is also the data cable, so if the unit resets all the time while moving huge chunks of desktop data, then it is useless. If the micro-USB connector is that rickety, more trouble is down the road.
    This is a real shame, becuase I like the phone and was ready to switch from iPhone. Now I'm stuck with something I have to send back and try to get my old iPhone to work again, so at least I'll have some cell phone calls.
    About eight hours of my time loading music, getting familiar, and configuring for my home desktop windows 8. If my Windows 8 desktop rebooted my machine eight times in only a few hours of initial usage, I'd be going back to old desktop as well.
    Again, very sad, because this seemed to be a great phone with great features at a low-low price. I guess when it seems too good to be true, it is. iPhone may be falling behind in some ways, but at least it's been a reliable phone for three years.
    Lucky I have 14 days money back, return to old phone, no questions asked. But it took less than half a day to figure out the phone didn't work.
    About the only possible fix would be some firmware upgrade promised to fix it permanently, but they had better make a big deal about publicizing, or have a million returns on their hands.

  • AT&T Lumia 920 - 2 Freezes in a few days maybe rel...

    Hello,
    I've been using my AT&T Lumia 920 for 8 days. Within the first week I have had 2 freezes. Both were while using Bluetooth, but that may be coincidental.
    I am not happy about these glitches as I was previously using an AT&T Lumia 900 since April, and it never had problems like this. I expect the 920 to be an upgrade in every regard.
    I am seeking:
    An explanation as to the cause of these issues.
    A permanent solution that will prevent these issues from recurring
    The specifics of the 2 incidences are:
    First incident:
    I was driving & talking on my phone with my Plantronics Voyager Bluetooth headset. I parked at BestBuy & went inside continuing my phone call. In less than 60 seconds, I realized that it seemed like the person on the other end of the phone was being too quite. So I thought maybe the call dropped. I pulled the phone out of my belt holster & found that it showed that the call was still connected. But I could hear nothing. The screen was essentially non-responsive. Within about 1 minute, my screen went black & I couldn't get the phone to do anything. I kept trying to to a soft reset like I did with my Lumia 900 a few times (power button + volume up). This didn't work (I have later learned that the Lumia 920 uses a different button combinatino (power button + volume down). I gave up using my phone & asked the Geek Squad boys if I could use their phone to call my customer back to finish the discussion so that I could confirm I was purchasing the correct product for him. About 30-60 minutes later, I was still periodically trying to figure out how to get my phone to come back to life. I pressed & held two buttons (presumably power + volume down). The phone vibrated & rebooted. Thank goodness.
    Second incident:
    I was traveling & dictating an email (which I'm glad that Windows Phone 8 now lets us dictate outside of TXT messages. :-). My first attempt returned no results. I then pressed the microphone button again & retry dictating. At this point, it did something unexpected (I really don't recall the exact specifics). From that point, further attempts to dictate did absolutely nothing. I then decided that I'd just type the email instead. I picked up the phone & pressed in the body of the email. The onscreen keyboard appeared. But none of the keys actually typed or did anything. At this point (of course a bit irritated), I tried to get out of the email, and realized that the phone would not really let me do anything. It displayed the empty email and gave me a flashing cursor, but no buttons or keys would do anything. It was like they were all being ignored by the phone. Then I had this though.... After my previous lock-up, I had read a little bit online that some Lumia 920 users had experienced lock ups when using bluetooth. So I thought, maybe if I power off my bluetooth headset, the phone will break the bluetooth connection & maybe will release control of the phone back to me. So I powered off my bluetooth headset. Sure enough, the phone immediately returned to normal (although it did first quickly make a couple of sounds & display regarding the dictation [like basically the last time I pressed the microphone button, dictation wasn't able to come up, so now it finally did come up & then went away again all within about 1 second]). After powering off the bluetooth headset, my phone has been fine. No need to reboot. A few days have passed with no more issues.
    So in summary:
    Is there a problem with the phone's bluetooth support?
    Is there a problem with my headset (I don't think so, it works on other phones just fine, and it works on this phone 98% of the time without problems)?
    Who is going to fix the bluetooth problems & when (Nokia or Microsoft)?
    Can they be fixed, or are they problems inherent with the phone's bluetooth chip which are irreparable?
    Is there any sense in me going back to the AT&T store & swapping for another Lumia 920? (I don't think so. Seems like most everything else with the phone works well [I've had a few other isolated incidents with other things, but so far I've written them off as software glitches that Microsoft or Nokia will fix with time]).
    Who should I be reporting this issue to (AT&T? Nokia? Microsoft?)? What is the correct support channel to get the issue resolved most quickly? (I am very willing to work with a competent tech support person to troubleshoot & track the issue over time if necessary in order to help facilitate identifying the root cause of the issue so that a proper permanent fix can be implemented by Nokia or Microsoft.
    Have any other users experienced this same problem?
    Thanks for your time in reviewing my issue. I have been very excited & enthusiastic about the Lumia 920 & Windows Phone 8. I have tried to promote it with my friends and family. However, when I hit an issue like this which didn't exist on my Lumia 900, I find myself feeling a bit embarassed & frustrated.
    By the way, to my knowledge I didn't have any other programs running on my phone during either of these incidents (definitely nothing else running in the foreground).
    Sincerely,
    Doug Mortensen

    Don't expect support here. Nokia does not bother to pay a tech or two to support the people who have bought the 920. Not really a point to these forums.
    Anyways, i have huge bt issues as well. Cannot connect or see my jawbone. In truck with pioneer nav system (it is illegal here to use a phone without handsfree in vehicle) it links, but when i make a call or receive a call it shows the phone off the receiver icon so it knows call in progress, but i either get no sound from the caller... at all, or i get a robotic mess i cannot decipher. when i cannot hear anything, people can hear me, but when i hear robotic, people can hear me but with distortion. However, when it reads a text message, the phone voice is fine through the system. Because i have to turn bt off then to use phone, i have to return this handset and just go back to android.
    Have also had this drop calls a few times now as reception is probably the worst i have seen in a decade... even drops in downtown core. Battery life poor because i assume its always struggling for a signal.

  • Nokia Lumia 920 India Launch ! - Some Observations...

    Hi,
    Being a Nokia fan for years .. I decided to write this .. I hope people at the right level from Nokia see this.
    We all know Nokia Lumia 920 has probably hit all the right spots with Users abroad and the best thing is they are loving it a lot. I probably would like to be one of them soon.
    However I have certain concerns,
    When Nokia launced Lumia in India people had high hopes including myself however one thing that I have always found going wrong is the 'PRICING' .. yes such insanely high pricing at launch .. why ? Look at the pricing of Lumia 800 at launch (around 33k) . Look at the pricing of Lumia 900 still (31k) ? .. Lumia 800 now sells around at the price of 19k !! - almost a 40% drop in price.
    The basic thinking in the minds of people including me is 'Don't buy a Nokia phone immediately on launch !!'. Why can't this be changed ? - Yes everybody wants to earn profits but in a situation wherein you are more in search for Mindshare .. This does not make sense. Obviously I am no one to teach anybody anything but this is what I feel & what I have felt for years.
    If I buy a Nokia Lumia 920 at launch only to find that after 3 months the pricing has come down by 3-5k .. I will not be a Happy Consumer.
    Nokia - Launch Lumia 920 at a very competitive price (so that the likes of SGS3 & HTC 8x will feel ashamed) .. Arrive at a price & keep it steady for real long so that the initial adopters are happy & others come to know that Nokia's pricing is real good and will stay that way for long.
    Nokia's Lumia are pretty good phones .. they never lag when compared to Android etc however they have not been well received by people here in India. The most common answer that I get is 'Bluetooth not there - can't transfer files' , 'Can't use memory card ' & 'Apps not available'.
    Nokia - you have to change this mindset of people because with Windows Phone 8 these things are no longer hindrances ! .. especially Bluetooth & Micro-sd support.
    I am expecting your Ads to have this .. be it on Radio or TV or Internet.
    Can we have right people on the Job ? - Recently I went to Hypercity Mall (in Mumbai) (Nokia booth). I took in my hand a Lumia 510. I asked how much RAM ? .. to my surprise he answered 512 Mb .. and I was like What ? I asked him to recheck - still the same answer. He said we have confirmed. The phone actually comes with 256 Mb of RAM.
    Now imagine what happens to a consumer who brought this phone from him ?
    Nokia - Please get the right people at task for Nokia Lumia 920 & 820 because there you have got some real innovations like PureView, OIS, Wireless Charging etc. Ensure that users get the right demo of all the innovations. First impression will be the Last impression.
    At Malls (without Nokia booths), the 2 phones Lumia 800 & Lumia 710 lonely guard the booths .. with rarely anybody there to explain about them. Just on the side of it I find Samsung's booth with all the latest flagships standing there & probably someone to explain about it - however Android needs no explanation these days will all aware about it (& even if not aware they know a phone with it is Cool!).
    Nokia - Please set your own booths for Lumia (both WP8 & WP7) & assign one of your Guys per Booth. I really don't know the dynamics of setting up booth at a mall & the financial impact of it. All you need to do is differentiate your Lumia's from others.
    Alternatively you can have a Lumia Van (or Lumia Vans) running around the City with all the possible Lumia's on it for doing Demo's. All Lumia's - since a person can come up to check a Lumia 510 too & not having a specific Lumia means Dissatisfaction for the user.
    Nokia Lumia 920,820 & 620 are gem of a phones .. Hope everything is done right with them in a price sensitive market like India & I hope that Nokia you are listening to a User's opinion here.
    Here's someone who wishes real good things for Nokia. Good luck with the launch of Nokia Lumia 920, 820 & 620. Desperately waiting !!

    Hi slon!
    Welcome to Nokia Forum!
    Let me answer your question in the same manner you have presented it. 
    1. How can I configure networking option for individual application (it was standard option before, see N8)
    - Can you tell me which particular application/s you are referring to? The phone prioritizes WLAN connection over 3G to ensure quality customer experience.
    Example: Nokia Maps - when downloading map data, it would require you to use WLAN as phone would require high amount of data.
    2. Where can I find the option like: Automatic, Always ask, WLAN only when using access to data connection
    - These options are not available on the device. However, you can find some settings that are similar to what you are looking for:
    Settings>Wifi>Tap on Advanced> you will have the following options:
    Notify me when new networks are found
    Automatically connect to Wi-Fi hotspots
    Send information about Wi-Fi connections to help discover nearby Wi-Fi
    Keep Wi-Fi on when the screen times out

    Beyond that, Nokia are entirely responsible for both the quality of the hardware they make and the software they provide to run it. They may choose to outsource the software creation, but they can't outsource the responsibility.
    Not exactly. Nokia does not write or maintain the interface software to the MTP client in Windows Phone. This is part of the core OS and as such is the responsibility of Microsoft. The specifications clearly state the software requirements and for the most part if these are met things work as expected.
    The minimum requirement is Windows XP SP3 with Windows Media Player 10. The MTP drivers are included with WMP here and in later versions of Windows are part of the OS. The software on the phone is only a client to this software and will expect the host t o be properly configured and set up to be able to communicate. It is fairly certain that in this case it is the host which is not working properly as I have myself seen multiple minimal spec system doing fine.
    The point of the discussion so far was that the instigator assumed we (or I if you must) were basically saying he should update to 7 or 8 which is simply not the case. From the first response it wasmade clear what the min spec is. The phone as is is fine so there is no issue there at all. From a personal point of view I think it would benefit anyone greatly to at least upgrade to Windows 7 at least for too many reasons to mention but obviously anyone is free to stay with XP but they should not expect the rest of the world to do the same or expect indefinate support for a decade old OS. There is no current OS fo which the 10 year old version is currently still supported. The fact XP still runs most software is a testament of it's sturdyness and quality, but it will fall behind very quickly over the next few years.
    Windows XP is an end of life OS for which mainstream support ended FOUR years ago and extended support will end in a year. At best it is now in maintenance mode with only critical patches being released but no further development of the OS has been done for a few years now. Windows 7 is the de-facto version of Windows now and it should be he minimal requirement for any current and future software development. XP support should be seen as a bonus.

  • How to Clean the Call Speakers - Lumia 920

    This is a bad idea if you have a Lumia 920. Maybe you could try this on other phones but the quality of the Lumia 920 just pushes the dust around the inside of the phone and into the front camera somehow. I have had 3 Lumia 920 and the first two suffer from dust in the front camera which I think also affects the proximity sensor. I though that I was treating the phone wrong but it also happened to the windows store guy. There was an article on Windowsphonecentral.com about this and as for learning how to clean the speakers I would like to find out too.
    Moderator's Note: A more appropriate subject was provided as this post was moved to the appropriate board.

    You could use anti static cloth or compressed air to clean ive seen people using hoovers etc NOT ADVISABLE.
    I would sent it to nokia care are its a known issue,it will be done under warranty.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
    Now using the Lumia 1520

    .. but a few things which i had in earlier Nokia phones were missing
    i got Lumia because i beleive Nokia will make thier apps available for Lumia as well even thought its windows
    a) Profile- Normal/silent/Meeting/Custom were missing. is there a plan to enable it ?
    b) Playlist functionality... the N8 was just updated with a beautiful music app can u please have something like that for nokia music app.
    c) Music player doesn;t support equaliser my e71,5800,n8 can do i why cant lumia do it ?
    d) please provide nokia internet radio for Lumia ... no good internet radio app available...
    e) what about the screen saver with clock date info.. that should be a easy fix for Nokia can u please lets have it
    f) Bluetooth on phone is not detected by my portable music player it can detect N8 though why ? is it a bug?
    g) can u please add the photo and video editors to Lumia store under Nokia App.
    h) Can u please introduce Nokia bubbles...
    i) Also the Nokia Sleeping screen...
    j) How to enable nokia offfline maps ?
    k) I am in US not able to get free unlimited songs are promoted on website.
    l) Also add a good video tutorial in the phone like u had for 5800 XM or at least good help like in N8...
    m) can we have the drag down menu from all screens like new N8 fix which provides control for bluetooth,WIFI, mobile data, silent mode...and also NFC...
    NFC is cool the data transfer of foto happened in seconds... please market this .
    n) SWYPE is missing.. can u add that.
    o) also on my 5800 and N8 there were a few songs and Videos that came with phone why noting in Lumia...
    p) Does  it support USB on the go ?
    q) why no SD card external slot..
    These are a few things which will make Nokia standout from the rest of the sheeps in the market.
    I love nokia. In our company they were talking about using Windows phone it could be NOKIA as integration is easier with Desktop.
    by giving users a difffernt BETTER experience like SYMBIAN   Nokia can make a good comeback.
    Please prrovide answers iff already available...
    called customer service got transferred to Manila>Philliphines they didnt know the answers...
    Any questions please mail [email protected] die hard Nokia supporter.
    Regards

    a) Profile- Normal/silent/Meeting/Custom were missing. is there a plan to enable it ?
    AGREE WITH YOU HERE.  THERE IS JUST RING AND VIBRATE/RING/VIBRATE/SILENT   CURRENTLY ALL THE OPTIONS WE HAD WITH SYMBIAN ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON THE WINDOWSPHONE 8, WHICH IS NOT NECESSARILY A NOKIA CHALLENGE, BUT A WP8 CHALLENGE
    i understand that, this is where nokia could provide a app like nokia Situations and a Nokia profile which would make it stand out in the crowd
    b) Playlist functionality... the N8 was just updated with a beautiful music app can u please have something like that for nokia music app.
    NOT SURE ABOUT THE LATEST NOKIA MUSIC APPLICATION ON SYMBIAN FOR THE N8, BUT THE NOKIA MUSIC ON THE LUMIA IS GREAT.  AND IF YOU ARE IN THE USA, IT IS FREE.
    I am waiting for the Customer service call back i have scheduled a call will check what they say. i dont want to reset phone. it messes up . doesnt work like new then. i have had issues in past
    c) Music player doesn;t support equaliser my e71,5800,n8 can do i why cant lumia do it ?
    THERE IS AN EQUALIZER ON THE 920, BUT IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE ACTIVATED, YOU HAVE TO USE A WIRED HEADSET CURRENTLY. EVEN ON BLUETOOTH, IT IS NOT ACTIVATED.  I HOPE THAT THERE IS A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO FIX THIS AS WELL.
    Lets see what does Nokia do with it... if they fix it like they fixed the signal problem last April
    d) please provide nokia internet radio for Lumia ... no good internet radio app available...
    e) what about the screen saver with clock date info.. that should be a easy fix for Nokia can u please lets have it
    CURRENTLY A LIMITION, ONCE AGAIN OF THE WP8 OS.  I TOO, HOPE THAT NOKIA CAN MAKE THAT A "UNIQUE" OPTION TO FURTHER DIFFERENTIATE ITSELF FROM ITS "COMPETITORS" ALSO SELLING WP8 DEVICES.  I HAVE TO SAY, THIS I REALLY, REALLY MISS FROM MY N9.
    f) Bluetooth on phone is not detected by my portable music player it can detect N8 though why ? is it a bug?
    BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE BT TURNED ON.  OTHER THAN THAT, IT WOULD PROBABLY DEPEND ON THE MUSIC PLAYER. WHICH I AM GUESSING THAT IS SOME TYPE OF SPEAKER BOX?
    if it works with N8 that would mean the music players supports bluetooth. not sure What 920 is missing i read with WP8 there were file transfer issues.The music player is a portable bose music stand...
    g) can u please add the photo and video editors to Lumia store under Nokia App.
    h) Can u please introduce Nokia bubbles...
    O o O o oo OO...
    i) Also the Nokia Sleeping screen...
    NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN BY THE NOKIA SLEEPING SCREEN, BUT IF YOU MEAN THE LOW POWER SCREEN, AGREED, BUT NOT THERE.
    No Sleeping screen is where you have beautiful screen image simulation check link below
    http://store.ovi.com/content/212990
    j) How to enable nokia offfline maps ?
    FIRST YOU WILL WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU INSTALL THE MAPS FOR THE AREAS THAT YOU ARE GOING TO WANT TO VISIT.
    I installed the maps i still get message u are not online , went online the system understood i had map then it says it can work offline.. didnt have this issue with N8. the GPS in Lumia and map app seem faster though..
    OPEN NOKIA DRIVE/MENU/CONNECTION/TURN TO OFF FOR OFFLINE USAGE
    k) I am in US not able to get free unlimited songs are promoted on website.
    I AM IN THE USA AS WELL.   SEEMS TO WORK SWELL HERE.  OPEN THE NOKIA MUSIC AND SEARCH, JUST LIKE PANDORA.  MAYBE CHECK YOUR LANGUAGE SETTINGS TO BE SURE THAT ALL OF THEM ARE SET TO UNITED STATES.  I HAD THIS ISSUE IN THE BEGINING.  THEN REBOOT.
    I checked i dont see option in nokia music app. see N8 it has tabbed playlist/artist view. that looked cool to me
    l) Also add a good video tutorial in the phone like u had for 5800 XM or at least good help like in N8...
    ...I THINK THAT FOR THE WORK THAT GOES INTO IT...AND MOST PEOPLE JUST DELETE IT OR NEVER VIEW IT....NOT NECESSARY.  KIND OF LIKE INCLUDING A MANUAL THESE DAYS. 
    Yes but thats what made Nokia stand out from Appy and Sammy lets not loose the good work already put it.
    m) can we have the drag down menu from all screens like new N8 fix which provides control for bluetooth,WIFI, mobile data, silent mode...and also NFC...
    NO DRAG DOWN, BUT I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION.   THERE IS A CONNECTIONSAPPLICATION IN THE STORE THAT WORKS WELL THAT YOU CAN PIN INDIVIDUAL NEEDS TO YOUR SCREEN.
    The nokia shortcut were much better i could just click to switch on switch off. the more i think about it the more i like N8 and think why did i go for something else...
    NFC is cool the data transfer of foto happened in seconds... please market this . 
    YES!!!  BUT I THINK THE INDUSTRY IS NOT GOING TO ADOPT THE NOKIA "NFC" TAG AND INSTEAD ARE GOING TO USE THE TAP TO SEND TYPE OF VERGIAGE AS THE SAMSUNG DEVICES USE THE SAME LANGUAGE THERE.
    Industry is crazy they didnt heed even to SIM sugggestions by Nokia but if u have money u have power.. Knowledge and exp dont count these days. Nokia productts are safer robust i always stand by them Hope it becomes leader again and we get Phones like N8 symbian again with looooottttts of good functioanlity.
    n) SWYPE is missing.. can u add that.
    AND THE CONGREGATION SAID IN SYNC....AAAAAAAAWWWWMMMMMEEEEEEEEEN!
    THERE IS A SWYPE APPLICATION IN THE STORE BUT THE IMPLEMENTATION IS REALLY QUITE POOR. I REALLY MISS THIS FROM MY ANDROID, SYMBIAN AND MEEGO DEVICES.  I HOPE THERE WILL BE ENOUGH PRESSURE THAT MICROSOFT INCORPORATES IT.
    AS FOR THE APPLE USERS, MOST DONT EVEN KNOW IT IS AVAILABLE TO USE, AND UNTIL APPLE INVENTS IT, THERE IS NO OTHER COMPETITOR TO FORCE IT.  I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO SEND A MESSAGE TO WP8 TEAM FROM MICROSOFT.
    o) also on my 5800 and N8 there were a few songs and Videos that came with phone why noting in Lumia...
    p) Does  it support USB on the go ?
    NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN BY USB ON THE GO, BUT YOU CAN CONNECT TO A PC ON WP8 AND STILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE OPEN PARTITIION ON THE DEIVCE THAT YOU CAN TRANSFER SONGS, VIDEOS, PICTURES, AND RINGTONES TO.
    check the link below
    http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/nokia-n8s-usb-on-the-go-support-demoed-lesser-phones-turned-in/
    q) why no SD card external slot..
    ...CLOUD!  VERY FEW DEVICES COMING OUT NOW ARE INCLUDING THIS OPTION AND IT IS MISSED.  BUT THE CLOUD IS YOUR FRIEND, ESPECIALLY AS THE SPEEDS GET FASTER AND FASTER TO CONNECT TO IT.
    but thats where i need a bigger data plan and pay more dollars later, SD card is better i think Sammy and HTC have it
    called customer service got transferred to Manila>Philliphines they didnt know the answers...
    THAT IS SEEMINGLY ALWAYS THE CASE.  YOU GET BETTER AND FASTER CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM THE CUSTOMERS....HERE ON THE BOARD. 
    HOPE ALL THIS HELPED YOU.
    BTW...YOUR MESSAGE WILL MOST LIKELY BE MODERATED FOR INCLUDING YOUR EMAIL.

  • Lumia 920: OneDrive not working after WP8.1 update

    After 8.1 update to Lumia 920 OneDrive stopped working totally. In original WP8.0 SkyDrive worked as should.
    - In start menu OneDrive icon/tile shows as "greyed out" and does not respond to anything. The only thing one can do is move or unpin the icon/tile.
    - In application menu the only option for OneDrive is "pin to start". There is no "rate and review", "share" or "uninstall" available.  Therefore cannot uninstall and re-install
    - If looking from Store, it does not allow to (re-)install because it thinks that it is already installed!
    I can access OneDrive from all my other devices.
    I know that there are several people who have updated their 920 succesfully but that information is not very helpful to me. Looking from internet this has happened to a couple of other users too.
    What should I do? Good suggestions welcome.

    Hi @MrPanda ,
    Always in case of trouble with accounts, please double check the time, date and time zone settings on the phone, and verify that there is an active data connection via mobile or Wi-Fi. Also, the strangest problems are sometimes resolved by shutting the phone down and starting it again.
    Otherwise, the next steps are:
    In Settings -> Mail + Accounts is there a Microsoft account configured, with your email address in small print? - Not a deletable mail account, but the account entered during first setup of the phone. - If so, long press and select Synchronise from the pop up menu.
    In case the Microsoft account is missing for whatever reason, then the only option is a factory reset.
    If it fails to synchronise, then please post the error code displayed, since that may give useful information.
    OneDrive should start working once it has sync'ed ...
    Hans
    EDIT: A factory reset as suggested by @93tid must solve the problem. It is just that I had to perform a manual MS account sync to have the OneNote and Office Lens apps work properly after the upgrade to WP8.1 - and I wonder if something similar is happening here.
