Limitations in Lumia 800 using Bluetooth

A big let-down with the Lumia 800 is that Bluetoth function has severe limitation. unable to pair with other Nokia phones like N8. Transfer of data/files using Bluetooth not possible.

I have no problem pairing with my Nokia by headsets BH-503, BH-214, or my parrot party but I have noticed calls are not accepted via b'tooth and have to be mannually answered. Texts can be listened to and answered via txt to speech if activated. I can also pair with my N8 (on belle xxx609) but have not tried file sharing.

Nokia Lumia 800 dropping Bluetooth connection to c...

Hi
First time on here so be gentle
My 4 month old Lumia 800 pairs correctly with my new car - Hynudai New generation Santa Fe Premium SE and connects each time I start the car. But after anything from 1 to 3 minutes it drops the connection, remains unconnected for about the same time then reconnects again only to drop out after a couple of minutes and so on. If I press the 'Phone' connection button in the car the "Seareching for Phone" display shows then it conencts again ok but only for a couple of minutes then drops out again!
I have been back to the car dealership who have tested the cars BT connection with two other mobile phones and they say its an issue with the Nokia 800 itself and not the car which works correclty with all other mobiles!
My phone shop said it probably needs an upgrade of the software and to conenct via Zune which I have done and no new upgrades are available!
Ideas anyone on what to do, as its driving me mad!
I cant repalce the phone as its on a two year contract! I have looked on the internet and I see there are quite a few people reporting similar issues with their BT connections dropping out.
Does anyone know a fix?
Or
What are Nokia doing about this?

In some cases, Bluetooth devices don't follow industry-standard Bluetooth communication protocols, so changes in the Windows Phone software may affect how these devices respond. If your Bluetooth device doesn't work as expected, this doesn't mean there's a problem with your phone.
If you continue to have connection problems, try contacting your Bluetooth device manufacturer.
To learn more about pairing Bluetooth devices in Windows Phone, see the following article on the Windows Phone Help and how-to website:

If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Lumia 800 uses computer for headset

When i am sitting by my computer, and my lumia 800 recieves a call, i automaticaly take the call and uses my computer for headset, via the bluetooth-connection. I there a way to turn this on/off? Most of the time, it's just anoying :-(
Thx in advance

You do not need to keep a Bluetooth pairing active for other things like a file transfer, those connections can be indicental as required..

After Windows Phone 7.8 update becomes available for you Lumia 800, you will still need to install Bluetooth Share from Store:http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/bluetooth-share/51f49c63-5966-4752-bb12-430455f911a8

Bluetooth - Lumia 800 and N8

When I fist got the Lumia this week, contacts transferred easily from my N8 via Bluetooth.
However since then I can't connect the phones via Bluetooth.
N8 thinks it's paired, but Lumia says the N8 is not supported.
Equally I can't just send content (eg picture) to the Lumia from the N8
N8 running Anna
Do other folks have this problem or not. Seems a bit odd to me.
Solved!

@rich
There is no BT file transfer protocol supported in Windows Mobile 7.5 so you will have to email or use the Cloud. It was progress to have ability to transfer contacts to Lumia 800 via Bluetooth when setting up!
If both users had Windows Mobile 7.5 devices you could use this application:http://www.windowsphone.com/en-IE/apps/b7a5fbb8-d55a-e011-854c-00237de2db9e

Lumia 800 Telekom: SIM-PIN ist _not_ requested whe...

Hi,
I have a serious problem with my Lumia 800, Telekom/T-Mobile Germany Branding. When I turn the device on, there is no prompt to enter my SIM-PIN. The consequence: I am not able to connect to my mobile phone provider unless I pretend to do a real call, then the phone requests my pin. However I want to be available for calls right from the start!
Has anyone experienced this problem, too? Any workarounds?
Thanks,
saardunu

Are you using a new micro SIM card, or a standard size SIM card that has been cut down to a micro SIM size by the operator/carrier?
I just tried activating SIM PIN request on a Lumia 800, using a brand new micro SIM and this worked as is should when the phone was started.
so if your SIM card used to be a standard size SIM, I would suggest you contact the operator/carrier and ask them to send you a new micro SIM. This could be the cause of the problem

Lumia 800 - support for Fast Dormancy (for longer ...

Hi,
does the Lumia 800 use Network Controlled Fast Dormancy?
My Provider doesn´t support it and the battery of my Android Phone goes down really fast - because "Fast Dormancy" only extends battery-lIfe if phone AND provider support it.
Otherwise it will cause exaclty the opposite - like in my case...

The Big M.. does that mean the answer is 'No'?

What I notice is after 3 hours (approx) of disconnecting the phone from charging socket battery is reduced a bit I do not know how to measure the battery remaining etc , are these apps the reason for drain out of battery quickly if yes then how do I disable them for a few hours and re activate back again.
Or I need some thing else to do to save battery?

To cut the long story short.. Refer THIS and THIS
There are a lot of applications available at the MarketPlace which will give you the remaining battery time..but keep in mind that these values are calculated based on the immediate use and are just indicative. (e.g. immediately after playing a game which is draining the battery at a fast rate the battery may show 5 hrs. remaining..but after that you don't use the phone for a long time and the remaining battery may show as 12 hrs..)

Lumia 800 cannot connect to my car's bluetooth

Got my Lumia 800 last week and i'm very happy with it - except for one thing. It refuses to connect to my car's bluetooth hands-free system.
The car is a Ford Mondeo XR5 (2009), with factory-fitted bluetooth. I've used several other phones with the car system with no problems, including my old Nokia 6700 classic, Samsung Galaxy S2 and Nokia N9. These all conenct and work fine. Just not the Lumia 800.
I've used Zune to get the latest software for the phone, and have checked bluetooth is turned on (can connect to my laptop OK).
I've spoken to Ford and they say the car system is working fine, since it can connect to all the other phones OK. Spoke to Nokia support & they refer me back to Ford .
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Check for updates for your in-car bluetooth system, 2009 hardware is very very old by today's standards, especially since car bluetooth systems are lagging a few years behind other technology by default.

Bluetooth drops during music selection Lumia 800

Hi all,
On Lumia 800 while playing music via bluetooth to Play 360 speakers, I find that bluetooth disconnects when changing album. This is using Zune/X-Box Music Pass and streaming music.
To reproduce:
Switch on bluetooth
Connect to Play 360 speakers
Start Music & Videos app
Swipe to Zune page
Tap Marketplace then Music
Start streaming/playing something
Tap Back
Select something different
If there's a slight delay (fifteen seconds) before the new selection starts streaming then bluetooth disconnects.
This is really frustrating as I then have to go to settings->bluetooth->Play 360->connect every time.
Is this a fault with my phone?
Thanks
Matt
Update:
This also happens if I simply pause the music for about twenty seconds and then try to resume playback. If the stream doesn't start quickly then bluetooth disconnects.

is your play 360 plugged in, or running of the battery.
I found that happening to me and after a charge of the battery on the play 360, worked fine again.
that really is a great speaker, amazing how long it will work on one charge!

Lumia 800 and Sennheiser MM450 bluetooth headset

I'm paired my Lumia 800 with my Sennheiser MM450 bluetooth headset. When I check voicemail or use the phone features the sound comes through the headset. Unfortunately, when I go to the Zune player or Xbox Live, the sound comes out the speakerphone on the Lumia 800, not the headset. I go back to phone or voicemail and the sound comes out the bluetooth headset.
The MM450 headset also can be plugged into the phone with a 3.5mm cord, and the sound comes through the headset on all applications: phone, voicemail, Zune, Xbox Live.
Is this a bluetooth issue with Windows Phone 7.5 or with the Lumia 800? Any way to fix?
Thanks,
Dan

User error on my part...
I'm happy to report all functions of the MM450 are working beautifully with my Lumia 800 (e.g. full zune control, making/recieving calls). The two devices are a match made in heaven.
Cheers...

Lumia 800 - can't use headphones

Hello here,
My name is Adel and I would like to get some support for my Nokia Lumia 800.
Basically the problem is that headphones don't work with it, the phone doesn't recognize them.
I checked for dust, nothing.
I resetted it, nothing.
Tried to get to an earlier version of windows phone? Nothing.
Tried to change headphones, nothing.
Sent it to Nokia local store, after two weeks, i got back my phone with headphones finally recognized by the phone, but it was a short glory, one day later, the same problem is back. No headphones can be connected to the phone. And, I used the headphones that were given in the box when i bought the phone.
I really have troubles finding a similar solution over the net, feels like I am the only one in the world experiencing this issue
So guys, I would really appreciate if you could help me fix it please.
Thanks and regards,
Adel Blackburn.

Let me also add that when the headphones are plugged in, the sound comes out from loudspeaker.
Just making sure. thanks

Lumia 800 bluetooth audio very quiet

My Lumia 800 connects to a Bluetooth receiver for playing audio files, with no trouble. However the volume of the stream is very very low. I have to turn up the volume on the phone and stereo to max to hear anything.
Any ideas anyone?

Just to update, I've tried other Bluetooth devices to stream to the stereo, and they all have a good volume levels. So the problem lies with the phone.
Also, headphone is good too.
