Is it ok to charge my Lumia 800 overnight?

Hi guys, I want to know if its ok for me to go to sleep and leave my Lumia 800 phone charging. It will be fully charged in 2 hours (when Im sleeping) but I want to know if its ok for me to leave it plugged until I wake up 8 hours later.
Will this affect my battery, or is it ok.
Thanks.

There is really no issue leaving any modern smartphone plugged in overnight, the phones hardware won't allow overcharging and you don't tend to get memory effect on modern batteries, I've always charged my phones overnight

Charging Lumia 800 since the 7.8 update

I have four ways to charge my Lumia 800:
the dedicated mini USB power outlet
the USB cable,
a car cigarette lighter
a Nokia small pin charger with mini USB adapter.
Since the 7.8 update (or so it seems) I cannot charge the phone with anything other than 1 or 2 unless my battery is at a certain level (less than 25% it seems).
If my phone is totally dead, 3 and 4 will do nothing other than show the red battery - they wont revive the phone. Yet if I need a top up, they seem to work
Is it possible the new firmware had altered the amount of charge the device needs and thus is ignoring other methods?
When charging with 3 and 4, the Diagnostics tell me I'm connected but it fluctuates between (Charging) and (Discharging), never getting more that 90 mA charge. 1 and 2 give a permanent (Charging), averaging 260mA.
My adapter charger has a 350mA output and has always worked before now.

Thanks for your reply.
So even though I've been charging fine with these other methods, I've probably been doing my battery no good?
I'll invest in a few quality chargers then.
Cheers.

Freezed Lumia 800 Tango while listening music

Hi
Since I updated my lumia 800 to Tango It has freezed 5 times while I am listening to music plugged to 2.1 speakers while it is charging.
Lumia 800 + charging + 2.1 speakers wired = Annoying to me
I have to press long time the power button, restart it and play again music praying it won't happen again.
Anyone with the same bug?
Any solution?

Hi,
Just don't use your phone while charging!
Mine was not updated yet to Tango so I cannot check or replicate it on my device. By the way my phone freeze even on 8107 OS version.
Screen freeze when I listen to music(MP3) and let music+videos app run on background and try to read mails for more than 3 mins. Same happens when I suspend or pause music and tries to read mails.
It's either the native music app eating all the RAM or my phone is a faulty one so I have presented it to Nokia Care with some other major issues.

Nokia Lumia 800 won't charge, stuck on loading scr...

My Nokia Lumia 800 ran out of battery while I was at work (not the first time) I take it home and plug it in, after 20 mins of the red battery screen it vibrates and springs to life, but it never got past the white 'Three' welcome screen (one of three screens that flash up when the phone is first turned on, others are Nokia screen and Windows screen).
It's been charging for over 10 hours and it's still stuck on that white screen. The phone feels cold (not stone cold, but not warm either) so clearly it's not charging. I've tried a different charger, different plug, and plugging it in to the computer. When I unplug it, it dies after 20-30 mins and I go through the whole process again the next time I charge it.
When I plugged it into the computer it behaved very strangely. It rapidly connected/diconncted itself, not giving Windows time to recognoise the device was plugged in and install the driver software. Before evneutally diconnecting itself and going back to that white screen.
What's wrong with it? It's not the first time it's totally ran out of battery (although I don't let it happen very often).
The phone is only 4 months old!
What do I do?
Nokia Care on Twitter was useless, asked me to do soft resets (already tried, many times, the phone turns off briefly, vibrates, then back to that white screen).
If I have to send it in for repiars how do I do that? I live in South West England, my nearest Nokia Care store is in central London, several hours away.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
The white screen it's stuck on looks just like this: http://www.techwatch.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Three-Logo-235x276.jpg

Trouble between Lumia 800 and nokia ac-10e charger

Hi,
I haven't got no more the original charger that was in the nokia lumia 800 box and I bought an original nokia ac-10e charger. All was ok until I made the update 7.10 (8170) yesterday. If I put on the charger the phone will charge for 1-2 minutes and the shut down -> switch on again -> shut down again, not charging the phone. If I link to pc it's ok.
Someone knows why?
Thanks a lot,
Igor

Lumia 800 PAYG what are these daily £1 charges?

Hi
I would like some help with my Nokis Lumia 800
Ive set up the WiFi entered in my key etc etc ( and yup it is switched on,) yet every day (while i am at home) i see a pound comes off my credit, i thought maybe it was because i was opening my phone while i was still in say my mailbox and in those seconds i was connecting to wifi i was being charged, but even left in my home sceen i still get the charges....but then my mailbox is constantly being updated .....
how do i avoid these costs without buying conracts
i assumed it would be like setting up my I pad (at home at least) set it up & good to go with no more charges????
I am with o2 and they sell cheap £3.00 month bolt on which gives 100mb (????is that right????) data with no wifi? Huh i thought wifi was free
that is why my user name is stupidgirl

Wifi and mobile data are separate ways of connecting to the internet. All you need to connect via wifi is a working phone and a usable wifi point; there are no charges unless you're using a commercial point such as a hotel. Mobile data is subject to whatever charges apply under your phone contract.
You'll need to ask O2 what the £1 charges are, but I suppose it could be that you connected via the mobile network instead of wifi. Unless you want permanent connection to the internet for some reason (do you really need to read your emails as soon as they arrive or examine Farcebook every few minutes?), why not keep both wifi and mobile data switched off until you need them? You can then choose how to connect depending on whether you're by a usable wifi point. Saves battery use also.

Nokia Lumia 800 charging and photo messaging probl...

I got my Nokia Lumia 800 in May and was great to start with but when I updated the phone to the most recent update I started to get problems.
My picture messaging wont work at all, when i recieve a picture message I get "get media content now" but when I try and get it, it doesnt work, I have taken my phone into the shop to see if I had the correct apn etc but they cant see any problems with it. When I took it back to where I got it from and they told me that they would have to send it away without giving me a replacement until I get it back, telling me I would need to buy a new one, I cant have this as I have a micro sim card which will only fit in certain phones.
I have also recently started to get a charging problem aswell, I have reset my phone but nope, and I have tried other chargers which dont help either, my friend used my charger to see if it would work in her phone and the charger seems to be working fine, again it seems to be a fault with the phone.
I love my phone but I am not happy with the faults that seem to be happening now, as I need my phone to be in working order due to family illness.
Could anyone help me with this ?

Have you fully charged via Laptop ? If so let it run down 10% or so and connect to supplied charger and see if it will charge then, also if you have done a software update you could try reverting back to old software then re-installing latest again.
Final solution is a Nokia Care Point !

Lumia 800 switches itself on when charging

If I switch off my Lumia 800 and then connect the charger, the phone switches itself on.
While on charge if I switch off the phone it again switches itself back on.
Is this correct behaviour?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

A question for you then, Psychomania. How do you go about the fact your phone is always on at night? This is the first Nokia I've ever had to leave on for the alarm to go off and, the reason I'm writing this at 4.30am is that an email has just woken me up!
There is only one volume control, no profiles to time for overnight use so what's the solution? Is it flight mode?
I've had the Lumia for just over a week now, am loving it but certain quirks still need to be understood.
Cheers.

Lumia 800 won't charge

I have a lumia 800 and not used it in a few weeks so the battery discharged.
I have had it on charge for around 24 hours and the only thing that shows on the screen is the battery icon showing that the battery is discharged, battery meter shows just a small red bar at the bottom, and the phone will not charge up.
I have tried using the charger supplied and also attaching it using a spare cable to a USB port on a PC and the phone will still not charge.
It looks like it is dead!!!
Any help or suggestions welcome.

This is the reason why I always advise anyone against fully discharging the battery. Lithium batteries are rendered unchargeable if the voltage drops below a critical level. There is an internal circuit to help prevent this but they don't always work.
This can be fixed using specialist chargers but unfiortunately most of us do not have access to one. Anyway, this is what I normally do when this happens. Find the most powerful USB charger you have. Tablet chargers are a good starting point. Use this charger and connect and disconnect every few minutes until your phone shows sign of life. Not sure how it works, but my theory is every time you plug it in, it pushes a bit of charge in before the circuit stops the charging. So done enough times, it has always worked for me. No guarantees but worth a try.

Lumia 800 not accepting a charge

Well the really bad experience I've been having with the phone's WP7 os has been joined with the phone developing quite a large problem. If I plug the phone in to charge it I get the symbol to say that it is charging (the heart on the battery) but it puts no charge into the battery. As the phone auto turns on when the charger is connected it emptied the battery by trying to recharge it. (still don't understand why you can't turn the phone off to charge it quicker like you can with pretty much every other phone). When I'd let the battery drain totally before, then put it on to charge you get a big picture of a battery with a red line at the bottom, but once there is no power left it won't even do that.
My issue really is that if I plug the phone into the laptop, the laptop recognises that the phone is there and try's to install it as a disc drive but it still won't accept a charge. Is this a common problem with the phone, it is just over 1 month old and I wouldn't expect it to have this kind of problem yet? It's just that if this is a known problem then I don't want to have the same phone again and will push the retailer for a different one.

When plugging your L800 to you PC, you need to install the program Zune. There's no PC recognition for this phone every thing is synced w/ the Zune program. I suggest you update your phone firmware using Zune, to fix all the bugs on your phone. Charge your phone on a wall charger for a few hours. Another thing to do is install the diagnostic tool, to do this on your dial keypad press ##632# and the tool will be added to your app list. You can check your battery status along w/ other tests on this app.

Help! Lumia 800 doesn't charge after turning off

The battery of my Lumia 800 was empty, so it turned off.
I plugged in the USB-Cable and nothing happens.
I even can't turn on the phone by using the power button.
Does anyone have an idea?
The USB-Cable worked earlyer the day

Charge time on Lumia 800 - 75 minutes to 100%

How long time does it take to charge your Lumia?
Mine takes about 75 minutes from 0% to 100%. When I check diagnostic it is charging with aproxomatly 550-600 mA. In 75 minutes it will only be able to charge around 750 mAto the battery when charging 600 mA for 75 minutes. The battery should be 1300 mA with means that it could not be fully charged.
Is Diagnostic fooling us or is there something strange here?

Your calculation is correct except that units are not properly stated. 600mA for 75 mins is 750mAh (600mA x 1.25 hour) so it should not be able to charge a 1300mAh battery. 75 mins to fully charge a battery from 0% looks too short so you may be right that the Diagnostic is inaccurate.

Nokia Lumia 800, Depleted battery Won't start up.

Hi, After being away for home for 5 days with no charger for my Nokia lumia 800, I foolishly allowed it to run out of battery, Unaware of the problems this can cause due faulty hardware, thanks to Nokia I returned home and plugged the phone into charge. I have allowed my Phone to run out of battery many times before in the past as you wouldn't expect any problem to come of it. After many hours of the phone being on charge I went to turn it on, it vibrated and came up with the phone providers image then no further, it stayed on this image for hours until I held down the power button and it would turn itself off. Not being to worried at this point I went online to the many chatrooms, helpline, youtube videos you name it to source a solution. Having tried absolutely everything, about 10 times nothing has worked to multiple button combinations, heating the phone up, plugging into PC with zune - everything. Now slightly worried as I really do want this phone to work and not have to buy a new one at a great cost. This is not a problem I have cause, it's a problem with Nokia, and the manufacturing of the phone, So if no one on here will be able to aid me in fixing the phone, once I return to the UK I shall take it into a Nokia store to get it looked at, which i won't be happy to do as many of the Nokia outlets are in unconventional locations such as Glasgow.
Thank in advance for any Help which is much appreciated,
Lambtj

You are posting to a user to user support forum here and not contact ing Nokia Care. If the 800 will not start anymore and you have done all you say you have done it's likely the battery needs to be replaced.
