Lumia 800 - Ascending ringtone, Delivery report so...

Hello
I have 3 issues with my L800:
1) There seems to be no option to enable my ringtone to progressively get lauder and the same with sms sounds. Both worked on older Nokias i had.
2) Delivery report is recieved as a sms with sound. Can it be set to be silent?
3) I have read the PDF thread but there was no solution. My region is Slovenia and I can't download Adober Reader. I just need one PDF reader. There are only converters on the marked or am I missing something?
Thanks, good phone tho!

The media player will remain in paused mode when playback finishes. If you want to remove the player you can use the app Stop The Music which is available in Marketplace.

  • Lumia 800 Bluetooth ringtone

    I changed the phone ringtone to 'Nostalgia' which changed OK, but when I connect to my Bluetooth (Nokia HF200) the phone rings 'Nostalgia' but the HF200 rings with the default Nokia Theme.
    On my old E-series phones the HF200 rings with whatever ringtone is set in the phone.
    How can this be set on the Lumia?

    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.

  • Lumia 800 - Ringtone and vibration is too soft

    I just got the lumia 800 for 2 days. 
    I found that the ringtone volume is too soft and the vibration is not strong enough (in adddition with the problem of once start vibration in incoming call).
    I hope some update can help fix this problems. 

    I would not be so sure about that..

    My vibration is also quite weak, though it's quite OK when you run the vibration diagnosis.. ##634# or something like that..

  • Nokia lumia sms status report or delivery report

    I bought a lumia 620 just two days back.Mainly what made buy a nokia lumia 620 rather than Htc 8s is that some OEM features..which only Nokia and Sony provides,like sms,mms delivery....out going call waiting notification (may be called gsm supplimentary services).I went for Nokia cause their good audio quality.But what make me regret that what my Nokia 1202 can do,that the new sophisticated lumia cant do.Like sms status report on nokia 1202 when swicthed "on" ,and it gets the delivery report its updated the message item in the sent box with a tick mark .That what i expected from my nokia,which should change the color of the bubble on the message thread,but sadly it deosnt do that.It just give "message delivered to 0000000" in a separate thread in my inbox,where that old tiny 1202 shows "message delivered to BOB". In lumia the thing is happening is that a network code were send like " *n*h hello" . where recepient get only the "hello" and sender get a a message "message delivered to 0000000".What happened to nokia programmer ??why are they implementing something so primitive,where they used to put those sophisticated code on those simple 1202's.

  • The most systematic analysis of Lumia 800 battery ...

    Hi, don’t mean to be arrogant, but I’ve read many threads, forums, posts etc.  There are tons of info, someone tried a table, etc. but no one has attempted to summarise the relevant parameters.  So here goes:
    1.     I have a Cyan 800, bought locked at “3” UK, then unlocked.  It’s beautiful and makes iApple UI look, well, jurassic or geriatric in comparison.  The screen is so beautiful that I switched the thing on just to marvel at the ease of reading the glorious white on black (real black, not grey) and I am smitten by the ascetic aesthetics of the UI that put function over form (I simply can't stomach the saccharine animation of Apple, it is an eye candy for a while, then becomes bothersome, at least to me.
    2.     Initially, I noticed that the battery life was not great, but it did not seem disastrous, and I read all the gleeful Apple worshipping media trying to fan the battery issue, but I thought that it was a storm in a tea cup and just the usual attempt to put-down any competition to Apple.
    3.     Until a couple of days ago I noticed that I have less than ½ charge after only a few hours off the charger without really doing almost anything.
    4.     I panicked, read as much I could the forums, etc. (including probably the most technical – XDA-Forums) but got there only one real advice, the “diagnostics” mode (dial ##634# - I also downloaded an App (called Diagnostics) that does bring you straight to the relevant page without the need to “dial” the ##634#).
    5.     I then tried to see what was draining the battery, I stopped 3G connection and “presto”, the drainage stopped and I thought that I resolved the problem (at least for me, there were clearly problems with a certain hardware code, see below).
    6.     For one day, the battery was very durable.  Even though I had some reasonable With-Fi browsing and calls (GSM, not 3G), there was more than a 1/3rd of the battery left after about 20 hours of the last charge.
    7.     Then, today, the morning began very well (in terms of the battery), it was losing less than a few percentage points every hour.  I used it for light browsing and a bit of Bluetooth listening.  Them my 7-yr old played some X-Box games for a bit, but the battery was way above 2/3rds.  I then noticed that the phone was warm even though it was not on.  Initially, I thought that it was warm because it was on my body, but then I noticed very fast fall in the battery level.  Check:
    a.      the 3G again, no it is still off
    b.     wi-fi and Bluetooth off
    c.      I even checked what Apps were in the background (though I know that it is NOT draining)
    d.      - nothing helps, the drainage was high, even when the phone was closed (i.e., not used).
    8.     There was nothing I could do, until I shut the phone down completely and switched it on again.  Then, the drainage returned to the “good” level, i.e., a few percentage points per hour.
    9.     So bottom line, I think that there was something going-on “in the background (that is why the device was warm even when closed) – the problem is that this seems to be intermittent/random and very difficult to put the finger on what causes this problem.  I hope that Nokia resolves this problem and not only the “low” battery capacity (see below) that Nokia acknowledged.
    So after this long intro, what do I see as the “hard-points” here? The most important parameters for the story seem to be in the following screens:
    1.     “Diagnostics” (##634#) “Battery Status” screen;
    2.     “Settings”/”Systems”/”about” screen, have to press the “more information” button;
    3.     “Settings”/”Systems”/”battery saver” screen;
    4.     The battery icon and its remaining capacity representation on the main screen.
    The “Diagnostics” (##634#) “Battery Status” screen:
     It seems to contain the following info:
    ·       “Charged” – seems to display ALWAYS the figure “65535%”;
    ·       “Voltage” – seems to show figures of between 3.700 V (i.e., volts) to 4.1 or 4.2 volts
    ·       “Current”, followed by “charging” or “discharging” and the current, usually between 130 mA (i.e., milliamp) and 500 mA.
    ·       “Full Charge Capacity” – showing different figures for different people, usually between slightly above 900 mAh (i.e., milli-Amper-hours) and slightly above 1,500 mAh.  Although in this should logically be a fixed-for-ever, or at least in the short term level, the figure seems to fluctuate slightly, see below for more detail.
    ·       “Remaining Charge Capacity” – clearly the most important parameter, showing the remaining mAh in the battery.  Although in theory, the level immediately after long charge should be equal or very near the “Full Charge Capacity”, in practice, it almost never is (remember, I take this not only from my case, but also from numerous reports that I got from the various forums), see below for more detail.    
    The “Settings”/”Systems”/”about” screen, the relevant info items:
    ·       OS version – it seems that the latest one (as of late dec 2011) should include “7740” in it.  apparently, Nokia promised some respite from the battery bugs in this “7740” update, but from what I read in the forums, there was absolutely no difference.
    ·       Firmware revision number – interestingly, the firmware revision number includes “7720”, though I am not sure what it means.
    ·       Hardware revision number – this ends up with “xxx.3” or “xxx.4” – as below, I wonder if this is a different OEM factories designation, but it seems to me that it is the “xxx.4” that has one type of problem (low “Full Charge Capacity” of under 1,000 mAh).
    The “Settings”/”Systems”/”battery saver” screen – what is relevant for us is under the “battery information” – you must unplug the phone from charger to see three lines:
    ·       “Remaining battery life”: supposed to be between 0 and 100% of course (though in this context, calling it “remaining battery life” is misleading, or at least inconsistent with the “remaining charge capacity” of “Battery Status” screen.  Perhaps it would be better to call this “remaining charge”
    ·       “Estimated time remaining” – measured in hours, in my case, it is always under 15 houts.  There is no explanation what it means, I would guess that this is “how many hours will your phone work in stand-by mode”, but then it is way way below what Nokia said – measured in hundreds of hours.
    ·       “Time since last charge – measured in hours.
    So below I summarise my findings, but first, my unit parameters:
    Color: Cyan (does not seem to make any difference to people out there – problems “cross” colours;
    OS: “7.10.7740.16”
    Firmware: 1600.2475.7720.11414
    Hardware: 112.1402.2.3
    So, in MY case:
    1.     “Battery Status” screen:
    ·       “Charged” – seems to ALWAYS display the figure “65535%”, like all others on the forums.  This must be some kind of mistake because it does not change or update and makes no sense, now that we are in this so deep, I hope that Nokia explains what the hell this means, if at all;
    ·       “Voltage” – seems to show figures of between 3.700 V (i.e., volts) to 4.1 or 4.2 volts.  When the battery is low, the voltage seems also to fall below 4.0;
    ·       “Current”, followed by “charging” or “discharging” and the current, usually between 130 mA (i.e., milliamp) and 500 mA.  When the battery “plays nice”, i.e., there is no “problem”, this figure is under 150 ma, usually going seesaw between 140 and 155.  When 3G is on, it is above 250 towards 270 mA
    ·       “Full Charge Capacity” – showing for me usually above 1,500, constantly changes, though less frequently then other figures in this screen.  Strangely I noticed that when it is cold (I was jogging and it was in an external pocket with about 7C outside), this number went lower, under 1,500.  Perhaps the battery when colder can hold less charge?  Nokia should explain.  I think that in case of Hadware versions that end in “x.4” the maximum in this parameter is reported under 1,000.
    ·       “Remaining Charge Capacity” – in my unit this never reaches the “Full Charge Capacity” (which is usually slightly above 1,500 mAh), it stops below 1,350 mAh.     
    2.     “Battery Saver Screen” and the battery icon on the main screen:
    In my case, because the “Remaining” charge never reaches close to the “Full Charge”, when I disconnect the phone from charger, I get straight that “Remaining Battery Life” is “94%” (1350/1500 or so) – and the icon is never 100% “full”, rather “almost” full.  “Estimated time remaining” never really above 15 hrs.
    So, there seem to be (at least) two major issues/problems in relation to battery/working-time:
    1.     Firmware revision (probably) “x.4” may have a faulty battery that would not charge above 1,000 mAh (950 mAh is mentioned by many, or about 1/3rd less than intended by Nokia (unless it is a software bug, which will be huge relief for all, especially for nokia);
    2.     Firmware revision “x.3” may have escaped the “crippled” battery of revision “x.4” guys, but from time to time it can lose battery charge at least 2 times faster than otherwise, most likely due to some background processes that can be felt as the device becomes warm even when not switched on (i.e., in stand-by mode).  This seems to be intermittent or random and can be stopped by powering-down the phone and then powering-up again.
    3.     In all cases, the claim that the phone can be several days in sand-by mode, must be wrong and Nokia must address and explain this.
    So in summary, at least in respect of battery, there is a mess.  Will be interesting if some people with other WP7 devices can chip-in and say whether it is similar in their cases, but Nokia should be open and explain and even admit mistakes, I hope that this can be rectified by software, or at least it is not a “terminal” complication for Lumia 800, which is a beautiful device.

    I would like to thank all the people here who have taken the time to put all this info together for us all and hope it is of help to the folks who are having trouble with battery life. I'm not doing to bad on battery life myself as it always last me though the working part of the day when I don’t have access to a charger and I will soon be updating my car cradle to take the Lumia so will have access to a charger though the day to. Personally I have come from the N900 and that phone also had some battery issues when it first came out which where pretty much sorted over time, as for manufactures claims on battery life, I always read these figures the same way I would read expected miles per gallon that car manufactures put out, meaning that there would only be a very select few that would ever get what the manufactures say you can get the rest of us will all get a very wide variation on these figures. I know that Nokia have acknowledged that there is an issue with battery life and not all of us have this issue, at this moment in time I'm not to unhappy with the battery life, but if it improves then I will be pleased. From all the posts I have read on this site it does seem that some people do read manufactures specifications as if there are set in stone, I'm not criticizing anyone here would just like to say that they are trying to sell you something so have a good look at the figures and maybe check them with other independent sources if at all possible. My only disappointment really is that we have to rely on other people and not Nokia themselves to let us know what’s going on, I wish the manufacture would be more open and quicker to let us know what’s going on and what they are doing to sort out problems and some sort of time frame that we could expect something to come out to fix a problem. I know bugs can me very difficult to find and ever more difficult to fix sometimes but if Nokia put out a weekly report about how things where going on bug fixes or forth coming updates it would help everyone in deciding where they are going with their chosen product.
    Again many thanks to all the people helping us all out and wish you all a happy bug free new year.

  • Nokia Drive questions on Lumia 800.

    I bought a Lumia 800 over the weekend as my last phone was about to drive me around the twist. I've been very impressed with the Windows interface and the phone over all.
    One of the reasons I went for the Lumia was the Nokia Drive app. I work in field sales and travel the length a breadth of this country so I need a reliable sat nav. Previously I've used CoPilot live on an Android which worked well for me.
    This morning I did my first trip with the Nokia Drive app and it worked ok up until a point.
    I received a call, no problems answered fine through bluetooth not an issue. HOWEVER when the call ended the Nokia Drive app did not resume/return to main screen. instead I got the lock screen with a very garbled background image.
    Hoping the Nokia drive app was running in the background I kept driving but after a few turns it was planly clear that the app had closed. I therefore had to pull over to restart the app. Once I unlocked the screen the app did resume. I was just glad I was making a trip I was familiar with and testing the app functionality.
    I take/make a lot of calls while travelling I need a nav app that I do not have to re-setup everytime I hang up a call. Can this be addressed in Nokia drive or can someone suggest an alternative app to use instead?

    There already are same issues reported here

  • Lumia 800 Wifi crashes

    I have the Lumia 800 purchased from Phonehouse, France with Orange as the provider.
      My Wifi seem to crash (gets automatically turned off) after 4-5 hours. If I then goto Settings - Wifi, it becomes unresponsive and shows a black screen. I have to restart the phone to get the Wifi working again (it actually resarts with the Wifi turned on.).
      I have already applied the available update, but it doesn't solve the problem.
    TIA

    There seems to be a problem with the energy-safe-mode: Sometimes the Lumia thinks you are still @energy-safe (although there is no checkbox activated) and therefore wont let you toggle Wifi.
    Some people reported that switching the lumia and/or the energy-safe-mode off/on solved these issues... a hard reset surely did it for me.
    personally, I experienced the bug two times, since i deactivated energy-safe-mode afterwards, i havent experienced again.

  • Lumia 800 in south africa

    when will the lumia 800 become available in south African?

    Direct contact with Nokia as indicated resulted in referral to retail outlets who don't have stock!
    Many thanks - your referral to online retailer is helpful! They did not come up in my search!  However another search led to a better deal with free delivery vs the R285 for expansys.

  • Annoying elementary problems with Lumia 800

    Hello all from noKIA and microSoft...
    Latest OS version upgraded 7.10.8773.98 but still elementary baby problems...
    1. First incoming phone  call ring tone seconds are at full volume 30/30 despite Your setting... **bleep**??? Why these first seconds should be at full volume? Can somebody from noKIA and microSoft explain that?
    2 Impossible to swish off phone ring tone AND vibrating thing. It vibrates in any version. **bleep**??? Why it is impossible to switch off EVERYTING sound and vibrato?
    3. Where has gone so old but good thing of ring volume presets as older phones had Outside, Silence, Meeting etc? It was not so bad thing at all. Why it is thrown out?
    4. On the phone with English settings there is Office in Russian... **bleep**??? How can I use all helps, descriptions etc of this soft if I do not understand that language?
    5.  No possibility to download smaller world language keyboard layouts. Why it is so impossible if big brother Windows has it? Ok I understand that it is a "really huge problem" to have menus in world smaller languages (just copy the translations from older models - how hard it can be???)
    6. And why all updates are so difficult, so user involving? Can somebody learn user friendliness in any angle from Apple?
    Seams that You do not learn on your mistakes and going deeper in them from phone to phone!
    P.S. And after latest update - seamed to not working promissed flip over for silencing the incoming lall ring tone...
    Nokia 1611, 2210, 3110, 5110, 6210, 6310, 6310i (up to these models totally satisfied)
    Then don't remember model, then E50 (mostly happy), then N97 mini - phone with briliant keyboard, but poor touchscreen, then business phone E07, phone that can not make a photo of contract, invoice or business card. poor design of usb port and 5 months at service did it - my nowadays phone is Apple. Company gave me Asha 300, so frustrating, that I use my old E50 instead...

    About ringtones - it was very useful profile option in "old and dead" Symbian. Please put Yourself in average life - You are in office - want to have very silent ringtones, not disturbing Your collegues, then You go out - again - not a few cilks, but holding the volume **bleep**...
    Then You go into theater - want to swich off sound and vibro - again - not so easy few clicks... You have to go to phone settings find sound controls etc... and do this stuff... Very convinient... Why newer phone has worse solutions???
    I'm from Latvia, so it is quite strange, that phone itself has only few menu languages in 21st century - except of course Latvian. How hard it can be to emit a phone already with regional language???
    But about settings - regional settings are available in Latvia - few things are shown in Latvian, but no keyboard layout in this language - i've checked.... Seams strange. The windows for PC itself already for years is in Latvia and has Latvia keyboard layouts etc.. Why for the Phone OS it is so impossible?
    And what for in Latvia Office is in Russian? For Russian office there is huge another country called - Russia... Why it is in Russian - the explanation is still not enough understandable... Russians even have another letters - totally different from Latin. Why we need in our country Russian office??? Think about that somefinnish guy in Finland buys phone and also have on phone Russian office... Efvery finn is just happy and says - this is what he is looking for - Russian office on phone that is sold in Finland for Finns... At leat phone could ack - what Office user wants - and change it while one of annoying long updates is proceeded...
    About phone firmware... Do You think it is a normal thing that phone starts to work as it should only after long, annoying and at least three updates? For My country - Latvia - this firmware update is still not available... I've checked on Nokia page... there are 30 countries in Europe and Latvia is not listed...
    The third question - I tried to copy phone book from old phone using contacts transfer - but I had to face a problem - BT does not work for that purposes despite that only this option is offered... Is it normal? Only possibility os offered through not supported data conection... Cool!
    Isn't it a special thing to introduce in market not finished "beta" phones? So unfinished, not enough tested etc?
    And you have to admit - Lumia 800 is not a cheep phone. Why people for that money do not have phone usable right from the box, but it means long updating, configuratinga and problems for big money???

  • Lumia 800 Turning itself off!

    Dear NOKIA, up until now I have just put up with this phone simply because it has lots of style and and I really like the look of it, obviously as you're probably aware this phone has had lots of complaints most of which are very valid points (BATTERY LIFE, LACK OF BLUETOOTH, LACK OF NOTIFICATIONS, NOT BEING ABLE TO CUSTOMIZE AN SMS TONE, NO MASS STORAGE) Over the last 3 months I have chose to put up with this but today I can no longer 'just put up with it'.......
    Last night I set my three alarms on my Lumia to ensure I woke up for work on time, I woke up an hour late for work with no sign of an alarm!(5am) This probably had a lot to do with the fact the phone had turned itself off! I turned it back on, and left for work.  by the time i arrived at work (5.30am) the phone had once again turned itself off! By 8am I noticed again phone was off, surprisingly at 10am I needed to use the phone and it was ON and ready to use! However by 12midday it had turned itself off again! In all the phone has turned itself off 6 times today! obviously the phone had been charged to full capacity over night so has had pretty much a full charge most of the morning? So can someone explain what is going on with it, and what is my next step, I can put up with most things (cosmetic) but how on earth do you expect customers to want to use a phone that is more unreliable than british rail in the 80's? IF there is such a thing in the nokia world as 'customer care' would they PLEASE reply to this post???
    Luke, an extremely frustrated, leaning toward disgruntled Nokia Lumia 800 user

    I'm having the same problem with my Lumia 800 restarting. The first device did this so regularly I had to have it swapped out for a new (well, refurbished) device. I know four other people with this device, two of whom report no problem but one of whom has had the same issue and also had to have her device swapped out. Even with the replacement, I'm noticing that the phone is restarting 2-3 times a day and there is no pattern to this behaviour. Often happens when the phone is dormant but also ocassionally when in use. Very frustrating but not sure if entirely linked to this phone as I had to change our my LG Optimus for the same reason - it started restarting after an earlier update (no longer available to me to roll back to). So, is it Windows or the phone? Either way, Nokia, really like a response to this as it's not great and having encouraged my other friend to select WP7 over iPhone, it's starting to look like bad advice. We all love the OS and the style of the phone etc is awesome. Battery life is poor but perhaps a future update will fix this but the restarting is an annoyance that can't be ignored and I'll be sending this phone back for a replacement too if the problem persists.

  • Cold weather + Nokia Lumia 800 = Inactive touch sc...

    Is this normal for your touch screen to be inactive during cold weather on your nokia lumia 800? If so what are some remedies to get the screen to get the touch screen active. Maybe using a blow dryer to warm up your phone or using a phone sock case to reduce the cold temperatures in the morning. What are your thoughts on this topic?

    There have been similar low temperature issues reported using N9, which seems ironic for phone designed in Finland. Do also wonder whether state of charge of battery is implicated in such behaviour as really need to be fully charged before taking out in the cold.
    I remember on a cold morning I left it on the charger over night and the touch screen wasn't working.

  • Should I keep Lumia 800?

    Hi have just taken delivery of Lumia 800. Probably should have looked at forum before ordering. I appreciate forums are largely used by people with issues, but I have been shocked by problems with phone and some of its limitations eg can't direct synch outlook tasks - I don't have ability to use exchnage server and was motivation for buying a windows phone rather than iphone(assumed there would be no issue). Question is should I keep phone or return under 7 day cool off. Thanks for your thoughts.

    Sadly Nokia has again failed to listen to it's customers, the whole battery issue has been declared -solved- although sadly it is nowhere near solved. The battery longevity varies hugely from day to day, one day it will sit on standby for 18 hours the next it will die after 6 hours (this happened to me yesterday from full charge to flat in 6 hours standby)
    It had/has the potential to be a great phone but the battery issues plague it, if you have not already bought one then, as a loyal Nokia customer since they first started selling mobile phones for general use, I'd steer well clear of it until they either fix it or replace the model with something that does the job it was designed for.
    The Lumia 800 has been all said and done the most complete and utter dissapointment Nokia could have put to market. It  was clearly rushed to production and sale without first making sure it was up to the job.  The only thing Nokia can do now is put it's hands up and admit to it's customers that there is and always has been a battery issue, it has not been resolved, make efforts to get the issue rectified as soon as possible and hope some of them will stay 'brand loyal'. I have tried to remain positive throughout but it is now very hard to remain upbeat when I have a phone which I cannot use for any time for fear of being caught without power and cannot enjoy the features of unless it is plugged in and charging (note plugged in with the Lumia does not always mean charging) this defeats the word mobile and provides me with a very expensive electricity consuming landline

  • Xbox Live on Lumia 800?

    I have a Lumia 800 and didn't came with Xbox Live on it. Maybe some country/region stuff in which I understand is Xbox Live is not available in the Philippines. Instead I have the "Games Hub" where all my downloaded games can be found.
    Recently. A bunch of Xbox Live games became available in the market. And I tried downloading one that is free. The "Flowers Game". When I downloaded it. I cant seem to find it anywhere on my phone. Is it because I dont have Xbox Live? How do I install Xbox Live or resolve this in another way?
    Thanks.

    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.

    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:

    Now using the Lumia 1520

  • My Lumia 800 Experience - Issues/Questions/Suggest...

    Ok.
    Firstly, hi all. A few of you helped me when i had an X6, hope i get the same response now.
    I have just gone from a Nokia N900 to a Lumia 800. It's a sleek, stylish phone, comfortable to use but the difference in touch sensitivity between the N900 and L800 is massive. I'll get used to it.
    Firstly, a problem. It took me 3 and a half hours to get the contacts off my N900 and onto the L800. Why? The bluetooh transfer app would not work with either my N900 or the bluetooth on my Win7 laptop. Would pair, wouldn't transfer. I didn't have a LiveID so had to create one, then try to sync to Outlook, export contacts to Live via CSV file, then i could see the contacts on my phone. Wow. fuss and a half.
    So. Data Transfer. Why when i have a Win7 PC and a Win7.5 phone, can i not simply drag and drop files to the L800, viewing it in Win7 Explorer as storage? Come on, that's basic. the older N900 can, why not this?
    I believe my L800 is more of a MediaPhone/FriendPhone that a SmartPhone - but on that note, i cannot set an MP3 file as a ringtone or alert, unless it's under 1mb in size....really? On the same subject, i have downloaded 4 text alerts from the Free Ringtones app by Ashterisk to replace the text alerts and email alerts. They can only be found in the Ringtones setting as Custom tones....they can't be found under the New Text/IM or New Email settings....and annoyingly, a ringtone i downloaded from the same app cannot be found at all, although will play in the media player...have i done something wrong?
    Themes...can they be auto-installed so you don't have to create your own tiles and then replace the standard ones on the homescreen?
    Internet Explorer. I save cookies because i would like to log in to a site automatically if i have a site opened from a tile, however, if i open up IE from the standard tile, it goes to the last visited webpage, and it doesn't seem like you can set a homepage or about:blank in there. am i missing something?
    the phone seems excellent, and very well put together with some neat touches, but it doesn't feel as fluid, as user-friendly as the N900....considering the N900 was a "computer" and a true SmartPhone opposed to the L800 being a MediaPhone/FriendPhone, the L800 feels like it's missing a few tricks, and it's harder to customise, both with sounds and images, and commonly used webpages etc than the N900 which seems silly seeing as i think it's aimed at a younger user than the N900.
    Am i just complaining for the sake of it because it's a new phone i don't quite understand yet, or are these things that other users are thinking, like "ahhh why the heck can't i just do *that*?!"
    any and all feedback appreciated,latest software in use, forum browsed through for info, although i've not spotted these issues anywhere else, i'm only human and may well have missed them.

    Fuly understand what you're saying, but to me, some of the stuff mentioned should have been there from the start, basic things like the mass storage connectivity would have made things so much easier, plus using full mp3 files as ringtones - phones have been doing this for years.
    Another problem i forgot about is the ability close an application. unless i'm mistaken, if i've used IE and visited several pages, i have to press the back arrow repeatedly until the app exits....there's no "close" function.
    Found an issue with downloaded music being played at max volume with the volume set at 1/30, i'll have a search for the solution to that.
