Lumia 800 crash problems after running Network Set...

Hi!
Long post coming up but if somebody at Nokia reads and makes sense of it and a fix comes about then it'll have been worth it.
Phone: Nokia Lumia 800 (sim free)
Firmware: 11500
Location: UK and Ireland
Since I got my Lumia 800 (November) I've been traveling between UK and Ireland a lot.
The phone works fine in the UK but in Ireland, when I put in my three.ie sim the phone keeps crashing during network related operations such as coming out of flight mode or reading/replying to a text message.
It's not a dodgy sim because this is the third one (I get a new payg sim each month) and this problem has occurred throughout.
At first I noticed that I could not configure the phone where MMS and internet data worked at the same time. If I added the 3internet APN then data worked but MMS didn't. If I deleted the APN then MMS worked but data didn't.
Another problem with this phone in Ireland was that it kept crashing whenever I took it out of flight mode. Again, this did not happen in the UK with my UK (Three network) sim.
As this has been happening from the first days that I got the phone I've been looking for a solution/workaround the whole time and I remember one of the first bits of information I found was somebody suggesting that the phone worked fine with the first sim inserted (which in my case was the UK sim). That stuck with me and when the Network Setup app (from Nokia) appeared I thought "ah! this makes sense, now I should be able to switch sims".
Unfortunately the app did not fix the problem of not having a unified network configuration for data and MMS.
This week I bit the bullet and reset the phone with the Ireland sim inserted. O...M...G...!!! Internet data AND MMS now work (in Ireland) and I have not gone anywhere near the APN configuration.
I used the phone for an hour surfing, checking emails, sending texts and MMSs, all was good.
Then I thought about the Network Setup app and wondered what it would do, so I ran it. The very next incoming text message crashed the phone! Then I rebooted and found that internet data did not work.
Next I repeated this process. Reset phone with three.ie sim inserted, checked that internet data and MMS worked (they did), ran Network Setup, internet data no longer worked, opened an incoming text...it didn't crash.
So, not a reproducible problem
Next test: flight-mode toggling. This one IS reproducible.
Location: Ireland
Sim: three.ie
Fully reset phone.
Before running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=0
After running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=12
Fully reset phone again.
Before running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=0
After running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=11
Fully reset phone again.
Before running Network Setup: flight mode toggles=20, crashes=0
So now I'm not going to run Network Setup, I'll head back to the UK on Friday and see if my phone continues to work properly with my UK sim.
Hope this helps somebody
Matt
[Edit]
Oh poop!!
Phone just crashed when coming out of flight mode and I have not run Network Setup.
MMS and internet data are working though so I'll just not use flight mode at night...or on planes

> Try moving closer to a window, or even going fully outside
Oh it's sooo tempting to click "Accept as solution"
But yes, one day, one day soon, I will go outside.

Hello,
Do you use the Oracle Forms builtin WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ?
If yes , take a look to : "IE7 windows opened and closed immediatly"
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Internet_Email/Web_Browsers/Internet_Explorer/Q_23304982.html
You can test the solution suggested :
We have found the setting that we needed, under the Internet Options
Security tab, if you select the internet zone, and click the custom level
button, then scroll down to the Downloads section, the first option is
Automatic prompting for file downloads, setting this to enable keeps IE 7
from interfering with this sort of download.

Lumia 800 really buggy after last update

So far I've had very few issues with the Lumia 800, even though I got one of the very early models. However, after installing the latest update (7.10.8773.98 / 1750.0805.8773.12220) things have really taken a turn for the worse.
The issues I've encountered so far are:
General:
- Automatic email synchronization stops working, or works in seemingly random intervals
- A calendar notification sounds but no message is displayed. Then a couple of minutes later the notification sounds again, this time with the option of acknowledging the reminder.
- Applications keep crashing on startup; for example email, contacts, weatherduck
Battery life:
- The next day after the update the phone was running very hot and the battery ran out in about two hours of absolutely no use. This hasn't occurred since.
Settings / Accounts & Email:
- Unable to change email settings (for example, trying to save a different interval does absolutely nothing)
- Windows Live - unable to sync, Error code 80070490
- Twitter - unable to connect, Error code 0
- LinkedIn - unable to connect, Error code 0
- So basically everything except Facebook is not working
So, all in all I'd say someone has done a great job testing the update.

Hello, and thanks for the reply.
I'm sure there are phones that are working perfectly, it would be doubtful that the update would have been released otherwise. But as you must know, there is a large number of settings combinations (and even apps) that may cause different devices to behave in different ways.
Allow me to clarify: all of the symptoms I described occurred after the update, and none of them existed before, apart from the occasional "phone running hot and battery running out" issue. That is probably due to some background task running amok, but it can always be fixed with a reboot and a recharge.
To answer your specific questions - I have not changed the live account password, or any of the other accounts. And obviously I have rebooted, since the battery ran completely empty. In fact another thing that I forgot to mention was that the phone has rebooted itself a couple of times as well after the update, which was a new issue. Neither have I installed any new apps since the update. I have three apps that are enabled to run in the background; Evernote, IMDb and WeatherDuck, but none of them are running at the moment. And none of them have caused any issues in the past, and it's extremely doubtful that they could affect the entire system so drastically, other than by consuming memory or cpu and causing resource shortages or battery drain.
Also if you take a look at some of the other posts on the forum you'll see that other people have reported similar problems - I found one discussion detailing the exact same thing happening with their email account.

Lumia 800: Odd problem

Forgive me if this is a repeated problem, but I cant seem to find a solution to this anywhere.
My Lumia 800 will boot up fine, I can enter the sim pin number and the phone unlock code to get to the home screen. But then it freezes. unable to scroll in any direction. Initially, was able to slide the screen to the Apps list, where i could scroll freely through everything, left right up down, even in App sub menus etc, but now even this ability has stopped.
The phone now boots up to the home screen and just freezes, though the tiles are still animated. The back, windows and bing buttons don't work either.
If I boot without a sim, I can click on the 'close' button of the SIM not present dialogue box, but the home screen is still frozen.
Totally flummoxed on this one. I'm sure I've tried a soft reset at some point to see if that cures it. Now considering a hard reset and then a restore from my computer and a re-sync.
Will this cure the problem, or is it a warranty repair job?

Yeah. It happened about a month ago, but cleared itself after being left off overnight.
Tried without sim, can select close on the 'no sim emergency calls' dialogue box, but it still freezes on the home screen.
Oh, now I've just got a display of greeny coloured static on my screen. It's just going through cycles of greeny static, then black, then static. Alomost as if it's powering up and then not.
I think I've read about this on here somewhere, but if you have any info, it'd be a great help. Care centre trip is needed!
Still, managed to get my X6 running, so all is not lost.

Lumia 800 Crashes (dies - reboot possible 2 minute...

Hi
I'm a long term user (and developer) of RunSat sports GPS on HTC Trophy and recently on Lumia 800.
I can use RunSat GPS for many hours while cycling and have never had a problem.
I'm also a user of Nokia Music - offline mixes - and I can listen to them for hours with no problem.
However, if I go for a run with music playing and the GPS tracking simultaneously then within an hour I can often hear my phone die (maybe 50% of runs)
What I hear is the music stutters and repeats (CD skipping) for 1 or 2 seconds and then the phone is dead - no way to wake the screen from black.
By pressing the power button I can get the phone to restart 2 minutes later.
As a developer, this definitely feels like a driver level bug to me - some sort of conflict between the audio output, the GPS, the file system, etc?
current os version is 7.10.8107.79
firmware 1600.2487.8107.12070
hardware 112.1402.2.3
Let me know if there are more details you need - I can reproduce this quite easily
Stuart

It seems that the problem is with a music player. Last weekend I ran two times for one hour, using a GPS tracker and listening to the radio - it worked. When I went for a walk, I turned on the tracker again and played MP3 music simultanously - after a quarter Nokia collapsed... Is any Nokia QA assistant here?

I have noticed that this happens randomly when keeping it on my hand, but it's easier to replicate the problem always by holding it with only my shoulder hands free. Could it be due to Nokias new background noise reduction feature?
Anyone had the same issue or is it just my luck to have a faulty unit?
As I understand that even if I replace it, I cannot backup my SMS messages to the new unit, do they have a way in the Nokia Care etc.?

Nokia lumia 800 signal problems

I have a lumia 800 with terrible signal issues. I know it is the phone and not the signal strength as i have a htc phone for work on the same network. The problem mainly is that the signal will dissappear for hours at a time, even restarting the phone doesn't help, when i have full signal on the htc phone constantly. I have issues with the phone freezing and needing to be restarted, delaying by upto 2 hours sending or recieving push messages on social apps and in general being very slow compared with the htc. the htc is on the android system and works superbly, only had a couple of minor problems with it. Is it likely that i have a faulty phone or am i just expecting to much from a phone that is over a year newer?
I like the phone, style wise just wish it worked.

i too have this problem, help needed

Nokia lumia 800 video problems.

Hello, my friend in work has a nokia lumia 800 which a couple of days ago just stopped playing all kinds of videos, be it videos he has taken or on youtube or any thing!
Also xbox live doesnt open either.
Neither of us are very 'techy' so any suggestions in simple terms would be very much appreciated!
Cheers

I seem to have a similar problem. After the most recent software update I can no longer play back videos that I have taken with the phone! I can play you tube videos ok, but not ones I take with the camera. Any suggestions why? I can't find any settings which I could have changed? The files play fine on the computer.
Thanks
What happens upon trying to play the videos? Is there any error message or is it just showing a blank screen?
You can try to copy the videos to your computer, delete the videos on your phone and then transfer them back to the phone from your computer.
If this would fail, you may consider resetting the phone by going to Settings and then About. As this will delete all the contents of the phone, ensure to sync your files or to create a backup copy. See Reset and restore your phone found in the below link for more information as regard to syncing your files, resetting the phone and restoring the files backed up:

Logic pro crashes / freezes after running about a hour after updating

Hope anyone can help me.
I use G5 powermac.
Had 10.3.x running with Pro6 with no problems (because of that I'm a big mac fan
I updated to Pro7.2.x and also to OSX 10.4.8 when the problem started
It's a strange problem, it seems something happens in my computer after a period of time.
Logic is always crashing / freezes after working with it for about 1 hour (not sure exact time). When I just leave my mac on for the same period of time not running logic and start up Logic later it also freezes imidiately. But only logicpro seems to have this problem. All other programs working well.
I need to restart my computer to start working again and then again after a period logic crashes again. I also installed logic express but express works well.
I already reinstalled everything a few times and also working with just the basic (no plugs, interal audio, no hardware, no extra memory ect.) didn't help. I did changed discdrives, internal memory ect.
Hope anyone has an idea what it can be
Thanks for helping

Lumia 800 locking up after 11500 update

I hadn't had a single problem with my Lumia 800 since purchase two months ago.
Last night I updated the firmware to 11500.
Within a minute of the update completing the phone froze. App list was on screen but unresponsive, all buttons unresponsive, a full blown lockup. I held the power button and reset it. Phone booted up ok but locked up again within five mins, then again after another five mins. This morning it locked up again while I was switching off flight mode.
There has been no consistency to what I have been doing on the phone at the time. The only observation I've made is that it's never unresponsive when I pick it up, it happens monents after unlocking the screen and using the phone.
Has anybody else experienced this?
I can't make use of this because I've owned the phone for too long: http://www.lovemekeepme.com
Help! Please?

Restore done. Phone restarted.
It locked up seconds after unlocking the screen.
Held down power button until device switched off, rebooted, went into apps list, opened an email, ran Nokia Disgnostics and looked at Battery Info, returned to homescreen, switched on flight-mode, switched off flight-mode, phone locked up.
GPS appears to be broken too. Nokia Maps, Maps (WP) and FourSquare all show my location as the place I last ran a map application which is about 30km away. Strange thing is that it's reporting that GPS is locked on and that it knows my position.
Oh! Phone has just locked up again.
What should I do now? If it's to contact Nokia Care would you mind providing a link or telephone number (UK) please?
Thanks everso,
Matt.

PLEASE HELP ME, Problems with airport/network set up all of a sudden.

Ok here goes. Saturday Aug. 19 I was on the internet, everythings fine. Then all of a sudden my airport drops/disconnects. I went into assistant, internet connect, preferences and so on. My computer tells me in Network Diagnostics that the airport is green, airport settings is green, network setting is green, isp is green, but internet and server are red. Ive messed around with it to no prevail, in fact I believe I think I have made it worse. Now only the airport is green. I have know idea. My roommate also has an Apple and his wireless/airport is fine, nothings changed. As I have "messed" with it, I have come across a section where it tells me my internet set up/preferences or something has been changed by another application, if that makes any sense. This is not so much a problem as it is a hassel. Now I must sit at the coffee table to get on the internet.
Is there a way to start over or is this a serious problem needing an Apple store tec? Can someone walk me through what I need to do to fix this, as I have no idea what Im doing.
If there is any more information needed... Please ask.

No the password isn't your apple id password.
You encrypted your backup with a password, if you don't remember the password, then i'm sorry you won't be able to use it.

Wireless Network problems after running VZ Speed Optimizer

Good Day and thanks for reading!
This issue may sound improbable but, please hear me out. To begin my network has 2 Windows 7 x64 PCs connected to the modem/router via Ethernet, a wireless laptop, a wireless PS3, 2 android smart phones and a tablet running on Wifi. (usually not all at the same time)
Everything had been working properly until I recently did a clean (re)install of Windows on one of the PCs with a wired connection. After getting back to the desktop I did a couple required updates installed Norton 360 then downloaded and ran the Verizon Speed Optimizer (http://my.verizon.com/services/speedoptimizer/fios/).
This was the first time I'd ever ran the vz speed optimizer, I only did it on a whim.. I figured it couldn't hurt. The program only took a second to complete and everything seemed normal at first; internet speeds seemed as fast as normal.
It wasn't until next day I noticed all the wireless devices in the house started having connectivity issues whenever that PC was running; even at idle. The PS3 would drop the PSN connection regularly and take forever to reconnect, the tablet and phones download speeds were unusable and also intermittent. I could shut down that PC, restart the tablet/PS3/etc and have them working normally.
After a little research I ended up re-running the optimizer program and at the end clicked 'undo settings to defaults' hoping that would resolve the issue. Afterwards I unplugged the modem for 60 seconds hoping a reset would put everything back to normal but it hasn't.. When that PC is running, everything else on the network has constant connectivity issues.
Is it possible the speed optimizer program did something to the wireless settings of the modem, or somehow gave that one Windows PC dominance over the network? I was under the impression the optimizer would change a couple local settings on that machine. I can't think of a reason why it would effect the entire network, (most evident on the wireless devices).
Any ideas or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I promised I would post a solution to this if found so..
As I set up my wireless laptop next to the wired PC in preparation to call Verizon tech support, I remembered a handy app I had on my phone.. Wifi Analyzer.
I checked the range of wireless signals the the app picked up and low-and-behold, there were two new wifi signals of decent strength operating in the same channel (1) that I was set up in! (I hadn't checked this since I first set up my router over a year ago and the apartment building next door is always getting new people)
This was totally unacceptable! The app showed that channel 11 had only a single, very weak signal in the area and recommended I switch to that. After logging into the router and doing so, it was as if all the wireless tech in my house was instantly given new life!
I could once again be downloading a game from Steam on a wired PC, steaming netflix on the wireless PS3, watching a YouTube video on my phone, all while the wireless laptop was downloading (way too many) windows updates.
Solution: Regularly monitor the amount of congestion in the channel your wireless is operating in. This is especially important if your reside in or near a rental/leasing property that often has people moving in and out.
Changing the wifi channel on your router is easy, fast and not scary at all. It could save you a lot of headaches.

Lumia 800 ringertone problem

I updated my lumia to the latest firmware.
Have a problem
The volume level when the phone rings for the first 1-2 seconds jumps to max. then a pauses and then comes down to what was set.
Why is that?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Guys,
Thank you for your posts on this.
We are aware of this, and we are investigating the case.
Nevertheless, the ring tone volume adjusts itself automatically after the first 2 seconds to normal level.
To silence an incoming call, press the volume key when a call arrives.
I know this isn't an ideal solution but its a temporary work around for the time being.
This is being looked into and I will feedback any possible solution as soon as I get one.
Thanks for your patience on this.

Real problem after changing a setting (please read!!!)

Hi all,
This is the situation:
A UBEE wifi modem from my cable provider.
On the Ubee i connected my Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) via UTP, and have set it to bridge mode.
On the AEBS I have an Airport Express connected (via UTP) to extend my WiFi coverage.
For the last few months this worked like a charm.
Today I changed the setting on my Express not to create a network (a default setting), but to extend the network from my AEBS (the AEBS was always creating a network).
And now, both my AEBS and Express can not be found anymore, resulting in no network and no internet.
I disconnected the Express, but still the AEBS can't be found.
I did a factory reset on the AEBS, but again, the AEBS can not be found.
The problem is that I cannot connect the AEBS directly to the internet because of the UBEE wifi modem wich has default settings (meaning I didn't change them), and the AEBS must be used in Bridge mode to function properly.
Please can someone please help me to get everything work again.
I have both version 6 and 5.6 of Airport Utility.

I fixed the problem myself by resetting both the AEBS and the AExpress to their factory defaults. Strangely though that the latest version of Airport Utility didn't recognize either one of them, but luckily the Airport Utility 5.6 did.
So I recongigured first the AEBS, and when that worked as I wanted it to, I configured the Express.
And everything is now up and running like a charm.
