Lumia 800 - Downloading pictures to a PC?

Ok stating to get used to my Lumia 800, its good points its bad points and its dam annoying points.
One for today, how can I easily and quickly down load pictures to my PC?  I dont want to load my personal photos to Sky Drive but I can see this is the only way to do it.
So I have done that and come across the following problems.
1.  There is no multiple select option in the Lumia's cameroll thing so you have to action any delete/share individually a real pain!! 
2. So after faffing all photos were loaded in to Sky Drive.  I've now been waiting some 30 minutes or so for the photos to download off Sky Drive on to my PC.
SUrely this can not be the easiest way to do it.  My old HTC Desire would take a max of 5 mins to download many more pictures and videos...
Any advice?  Ta

Easiest way is to either sync or drag and drop using Zune on your pc. You can also set up a wifi sync at home, and in your photo application on the phone for camera roll you can set to auto upload ( press the three dots on the bottom right hand corner. Best solution is to sync with zune in my opinion !

    You can only view and do stuff with these downloads in Whatsapp. No other app can access this data, since WP works in this way for security reasons. Each application can only access its own data.

  • Lumia 800 - Bulk upload of Pictures to SKydrive

    Hi,
    I have Lumia 800. i have lots of pictures which i had downloaded via internet. so if i start to use MS Zune, i think all the pictures will be erased...
    so to avoid this, i want to do an autoupload or Bulk upload to my Skydrive. Please let me know the solution.
    Many Thanks

    There are third party Skydrive apps in the Microsoft Marketplace that you can download and use to upload pictures in bulk. You can access that via the Store app on the phone itself.

    Download the Network Setup tool for the Lumia 800 (I suspect it is also available for the 610/710/900).
    Ran the tool, selected Virgin as the Operator
    Pressed the "+" at the bottom to select "add apn"
    Entered the following details
    Connection name: Virgin2
    Under Internet APN, Access point name: goto.virginmobile.uk

    Save
    Select Virgin2 as settings option
    I still found it was not working and upon ringing Virgin they told me my SIM was not yet MMS enabled. To do this, they told me to send a picture to myself. You will only need to do this if your SIM is brand new and you have never sent a picture message before from this number.

  • Lumia 800 Cannot Download a single App from Market...

    Hello,
    I've just bought a Lumia 800 on July 20, 2012 from a retailer in the Philippines and am using it in the same.
    I downloaded Zune for Windows 7 on my dual boot mac. I downloaded all updates till Zune said there was no more available on the Windows 7 partition. It succesfully installed. I am up to date according to the latest firmware as noted on Nokia firmware and MS OS as of today.
    I have not been able to download a single app since I got the phone. I use the marketplace app on the phone and have also tried "pushing" the app from the marketplace on Firefox/Chrome on my Mac and PC.
    The phone goes to marketplace downloads, says "Pending" starts to says "Downloading 0%" till it says "Tap here" then I have to retry download. Been trying this all night, and have been reseting the phone by holding the button below the volume control till the phone says "Goodbye" then I boot it up and the same still happens.
    I've also tried a hard reset, formatting to factory settings. That did not let me download a single app either. Since I needed the phone, I restored my data. I have been using a wifi connection with broadband at home. I can surf IE on the phone, check mail, but the marketplace has always been off for the few days I've owned the darn thing. I can open the marketplace app, I can see apps, I can browse them, and I can click install, reinstall (for some reason Windows Live thinks its already installed).  
    Am I missing something? I tried cancelling all other downloads except Whatsapp and still no dice. I've cancelled all downloads, restarted and tried again and to this day, I have an app phone that can't get apps from it's own marketplace.
    I tried setting my windows live ID to jive with my region and language, all the same, US or Philippine english, nothing.
    I've tried writing emails to Nokia Philippines support and after typing all this they just told me to 1. open marketplace app, 2. Click Download (Arrgghhhh talk about canned STUPID RESPONSES, the guy obviously did not read my email that I did the same.)
    Please help me. 

    Hi kosh, Yes I have done a hard reset even at the risk of losing all my contacts. I've also tried creating a new live ID to sign in after the hard reset was made. Sadly such did not work so I eventually just restored my contacts. I find it disappointing that groups does not sync so if ever I do need to change live IDs I'll have to remake all the groups again. Such is the loss of a loyal Nokia customer who has to pay for Symbian going and ms entering. I find it odd that I would even have to create a new live account as the one already designated as the primary account attached to the phone was created upon first boot of the phone. But I guess there's no loss trying one more time since accounts are free. I'll have to do it some other time as I am currently mobile and had to leave the phone cause the total lack of apps has rendered it insufficient for my needs. I will update the forum once Nokia and/or Microsoft contacts me. Really hoping they just replace the darn thing since I bought the phone open line out of carrier making this feel more of a waste, and I wouldn't want a phone like this sent for repair this fresh or given a refurb.

    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..)

  • Issue with software update on Lumia 800

    I recieved a notification of a Software update for my Lumia 800 yesterday morning and connected to Zune to upgrade from 7.5 to 7.8.
    The first time I tried, it sync'd the phone then didn't go any further.  I cancelled it and started again, this time it gave me a progress bar - step *of 10 and percentage done.  Everything was ok until it got to step 9 where it turns the phone off then back on again - the phone came up saying new update installed but Zune hung for hours and didn't get to step 10.
    My phone still says Windows 7.5 but no update available.  I've tried a number of times to roll back to the old version but always hangs at step three - shows a picture of a computer with the phone but the cable not connected with a white arrow pointing as if to say you have to connect the phone but it's already connected.
    24hrs later and still no joy.
    Info on phone says -
    OS Version 7.10.8773.98
    Firmware Revision number - 1750.0823.8852.12430
    Harware revision number - 112.1402.2.4
    Yet no changes to my phone as per the blurb about the new improvements

    My advice for you is to NOT update to 10.7.3, especially since you have a Macbook Pro. This computer is having lots of problems with this update, and since you don't have a backup organised, don't take the risk.
    My computer was stuck on the update for 25 hours, and I had to hold the power button down and eventually restore from backup. If I didn't have a backup, I would have lost everything!!
    If you really want this update and can't wait anymore, download the combo from the apple website (google it to be sure).
    By the way, I just googled and it appears apple has withdrawn the update? See

  • Lumia 800 MMS Settings

    Hi, I have never been able to send or receive pictures since I bought this phone. I am with T-Mobile and they have said that the settings should be automatically applied when I first send a picture. They have also re-sent me the settings which I accepted and it still doesn't work. They have said it is an issue with the phone. From previous posts here I have tried both the Diagnostics app and the Network Setup app, neither of which seem to do anything. Can anyone help here?

    Ok. Finally this week ( Aug.1st 2012) Nokia released the Network Setup application that helped me to configure my MMS for AT&T on Unlocked Lumia 800.
    Here is  what all Lumia 800 unlocked users should do to get MMS working with AT&T:
    1- Download Network Setup app from Market Place
    2- Run it and manually ADD a new connection. I gave it a name like “ATTMMS”
    3- Define this info in the window provided:
    a. Internet APN:   wap.cingular
    b. Leave other fields blank on internet settings.
    c. MMS APN:   wap.cingular
    d. Proxy address:  wireless.cingular.com
    e. Proxy port: 80
    f. MMSC address:  http://mmsc.cingular.com
    g. Leave other fields blank
    4- Now select this new connection as Operator by tapping on it’s name and that’s it!
    5- On phone setting,  Cellular setting, same wap.cingular APN need to be added too and Data connection should be ON!
    Good luck with this!

  • Total shutdown of Lumia 800

    Hello
    Please could someone help.  My partner's Lumia 800 seems to have completely died - no sign of any life.  We have precious photos & contact details on the phone that haven't been downloaded. Is there anyway of retrieving these, and of actually repairing the phone, which is just over 2 years old.  Any help would be gratefully received. Many thanks.

    Hi, churchendpen. Welcome to Microsoft Mobile Community. If charging the phone using the charger that came with it as well as doing a soft reset and a hard reset as suggested by @rich did not help, it would be best to have the phone checked by a Care Point technician. To locate one, visit your local support page here: Select your country for local support. Once the phone goes through the repair process, all its content will be wiped out. Replacing the phone can only be decided by a technician after assessing it. 
    If you have a working Microsft account (Windows Live ID) on your phone, your contacts should be synchronized and can be seen at https://people.live.com. Syncing media files in a Windows Phone 7.x device can only be done using the Zune software as instructed here: Sync music, pictures, and videos. If you never did that before, there's no other way to retrieve the photos or any of your media files from the phone. 
    Thanks for the help, rich and allanjesalva. We appreciate it. Keep it up! ;-)

  • Multiple email accounts on Lumia 800

    Dear All
    I have a question about email accounts on the Lumia 800.
    I have two email accounts, one linked to our website (pop 3) and also my personal Live account.  The account linked to the website can only receive (it costs more and thus was deemed unnecessary). This system has worked well in the past, just reply or forward using my Live account.  This has worked on my pc, laptop, Iphone etc.
    Now the question, how do I choose which account sends on the Lumia?  As I can’t seem to select between the two, I currently have no means of replying to or forwarding mail received in the ‘website’ account.   I have tried messing around with settings in both accounts, but to no avail.
    Apologies in advance if I’m just being an idiot but any help would be appreciated.
    Clockit.

  • Nokia Lumia 800 - Stuck on 'Connect to PC' screen

    Connected the Lumia 800 to my macbook air using the proper Windows Phone app on the mac. Phone connected no problem, backed up all my photo's and videos onto my macbook. Noticed there was an update available for the phone so I updated.
    Towards the end of the update, the phone reset itself as expected and then failed to reconnect to the macbook. The phone was never physically disconnected at any point throughout this process.
    The Windows Phone app asked me to connect my device and my device had the 'Connect to PC' image on the screen. Both were connected to each other. I left it sit for approximately 20 minutes and nothing changed so I restarted my macbook and again, nothing changed.
    I disconnected the phone and tried a different USB port and the Windows Phone app appeared to attempt to connect for a split second but then stopped, no errors or anything.
    I've tried a hard reset on the phone (wolume down, camera, power button) and again, nothing. I've let the phone battery go completely flat, again, no difference. I try plugging it into a direct power source to charge, guess what, no difference.
    Right now the phone is sitting here, 'Connect to PC' image stuck on the screen, not connecting to anything. If I hold the power button for a few seconds, the phone vibrates, the screen goes black and after about 20 seconds the 'Connect to PC' screen reappears.
    I have honestly tried every combination possible. At this point I don't care if I lose all my contacts and messages, I just don't want to be left with a brick.
    Any help at all would be appreciated.
    PS: I don't have access to a PC so I'm afraid that option is out. MacBook Air (less than 6 months old) and an ancient Ubuntu laptop but that's it.
    Picture of "Connect to PC" screen attached.

  • 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.

  • First letter shortcut in app list view - Lumia 800

    Hi all, 
     I recently downloaded a couple of apps of my Lumia 800 and I noticed that the app list view has been rearranged in to groups by the first letter of the apps name. Although I find it functional and overall it looks well, I’d like to know if this can be turn off. The only downside I see is that I find myself scrolling down a for longer period of time.
    I appreciate any support.  
    Thanks.  
    Solved!

    This subject has been discussed before, and it is a built in feature that automatically triggers once the number of apps reaches a certain level so you can quickly search for a specific app in a long list. It is a built in feature and cannot be changed AFAIK, there may be changes in future updates, but I doubt it, Personally I find it very useful, and assume most users do as this is only the second thread I've seen mention it as an issue, and as the number of apps available for WP increases I would assume it will become even more useful. The only way to remove for now, as far as I can see is to remove apps you don't use/like untill your list is short enough not to require it. Also, this is a software issue and it may be worth commenting in the Microsoft Windows phone forums, as they may be able to give more SW issue related info ?
