Lumia 800 - Tethering doesn't allow access to Inte...

Hello All,
I've just updated my Lumia 800 to Tango. I now see the Internet sharing option. I can switch it on, other clients can see and connect to the WiFi hotspot.
I tried to tether my Windows 7 laptop to the phone, but no luck - I cannot actually use the tethered connection to browse the Internet.
I don't have any restrictions on my Internet usage plan.I can confirm this because with the same data plan (and SIM), my E6 (with Joiku hotspot) can share its Internet connection without any hassles.
Any help would be appreciated.
-Thanks!
Present: Lumia-820
Past: E6, L-800, N8, N900, 5800 XM, 6500 Slider, 6303c

Hi all,
Thanks again for your feedback. Could you try to do the following;
Disable Wi-Fi on the Lumia so it only has a Mobile data connection.
Disable Wi-Fi access on the laptop
Enable Internet sharing on the Lumia
Enable Wi-Fi access on the laptop then find and connect to the Lumia access point.
If you do not get internet access on the laptop please send me a personal mail with the following data:
Phone carrier and country
Laptop brand and model
Used operating system (including any service packs!)
The speed of the connection from Wireless Network Connection Status on the PC
The following settings for the Interface on the PC (Wireless Network Connection Status>Details)
IPv4 address
IPv4 Default Gateway
IPv4 DHCP server
IPv4 DNS Server
I will forward these toward the investigation.

Nokia Lumia 800 camera doesn't work..

Hi everyone.. I have problem.. I buyed NOKIA lumia 800, but camera doesn't work.. When I turn on camera i have black screen, and when i press camera button, she just turn off.. Please help.. i tried hard reset, diagnostic tool, but she doesn't work.

Since the hard reset does not help and you have just only bought the phone, I suggest returning it to the seller for a replacement or refund.

Tethering doesn't allow download of updates to the iphone itself??

I purchased the iphone4 and tethering to replace my land line phone and the internet access that I previously paid for. I have twice tried to download updates to the iphone itself only to have the iphone lock up. I then had to go to a place with wifi with my computer to restore the iphone4 and download the update to the iphone.
Has anyone else had this issue? I had hoped that the iphone4 could be my only source of internet access but maybe that is not possible. Page 24 of the user's manual states that the iphone with tethering allows the iphone to be the modem for your computer. This doesn't work with downloads to the iphone?

iPhone firmware updates are not downloaded by or to the iPhone. Firmware updates are downloaded by your computer and installed on your iPhone with iTunes only.
Tethering should allow for downloading a firmware update with iTunes on your computer and installing the update on your iPhone which is probably not possible with tethering active.

VPN doesn't allow access to server

We used to keep two different addresses for the server and our IT folks wanted to consolidate them. There was no reason that the server and the vpn server addresses should be separate. However now if I have VPN connection I cannot connect to the server.
My DNS has reverse lookup set correctly (AFAICT)
% host vpnserver.TLD
vpnserver.TLD is an alias for opsxserve.TLD.
opsxserve.magnet.fsu.edu has address NNN.NNN.NNN.60
% host NNN.NNN.NNN.60
60.NNN.NNN.NNN.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer opsxserve.TLD.
% host opsxserve.TLD
opsxserve.TLD has address NNN.NNN.NNN.60
But when using VPN I cannot connect to the opsxserve.TLD for calendar, mail, admin, etc. This only happens when I am outside the firewall. When inside and use VPN it all works, I have set the option to send all data over VPN.

Let me try to clarify things. The server is back to the two IP configuration.
Server has 2 IP addresses and 2 dns entries one for services and one only for VPN, those would be
vpnserver @ IP 59
opsxserve @ IP 60 (where I deleted the top level domain and the first 3 sections of the ip address)
then when using VPN I have access to calendar, ldap mail, VNC, and server admin on the server.
But if use the following DNS set up to reduce IP address usage there is a problem
vpnserver alias to opsxserve
opsxserve @ IP 60
Then when using VPN from outside the firewall I cannot access iCal server, server admin etc. The server does not have its firewall turned on. All the VPN addresses assigned are on the same subnet as the server.
All the services have always run on the same box which is an early intel XServe.

Bridge CS6 doesn't allow access to many of my folders on iMac

iMac with OS X 10.8.2 and Photoshop & Bridge CS6 and Lightroom 4.
When try and access photos via Bridge most of my folders have a little red circle with a minus inside, denying me access to the folders.
However, if I use mini Bridge in PS I can access all of my folders.

InDesign 2014 doesn't allow access to the Text tool

I installed the 2014 update for InDesign and started work on an existing book project (about 70 pages in extent), replacing some of the graphics on the cover with eps files from Bridge. I can select the title and subtitle on the cover page too. But when I moved to the next page that I had not yet touched since installing ID 2014, I found the Text toll was not working. All it does is draw a box, but I can no longer click on text and work on it.
I copied all the content on the cover page, quit ID 2014, opened ID 9.2.2.103 using an older version of the document, and pasted the changes into the old document. ID 9.2.2 works just fine, but each time I try using ID 2014 (v. 10.0.0.70), the same problem happens again.
I have tried re-starting, starting in Safe Boot mode, exporting the file as .idml and re-opening it in ID 2014, but it is the same old bug all over.
Any others have the same or similar experience, and any explanations and solutions to offer?

I'll answer my own question now that it is solved:
Deleting ~/library/Preferences and /Caches didn't solve the problem. In fact none of the suggestions helped. What really helped was to go to find the locked layer for all the pages and unlock it!
ID 2014 set up a new view for my layout, and the layers tab was in a new place, and not it's full length anymore, so the locked layer wasn't visible like I was used to, but it was there nevertheless.
What's the old saying about the source of the problem (and the solution) usually being found not too far from the front of the screen...

Lumia 800 - attaching files to web massage?

Hi All,
I've just taken delivery of a Lumia 800 and trying to get to grips with where everything is and how it works. I must say, it's far more complicated than I was expecting with basic task seeming to be more complicated than they need to be.
My question relates to attaching photos to messages on websites. I used my previous photo to email photos via Yahoo and submit them to a certain website while on the move. I've never had a problem doing this with any other phone. However, with the Lumia 800, it doesn't seem to allow you to to this. On the webpage I normally use, there is a box with a browse button that when you press, nothing seems to happen. On all phones previously, and when using the site from a pc, you simply press browse, select the file from the memory card / drive and press upload. But this doesn't seem to be the case on the Lumia 800. When you press browse, nothing happens, you don't get a box to select a file from the phone or anything.
Has anyone any ideas of how to get around this? If not, it may be a case of the phone goes back and I'll go back to using my X6.
Thanks,
Darren

Thanks krizanand, I'm glad it's not only me that can't seem to do it. All I'm trying to do is send a file attachment via a web page upload screen, it's exactly like trying to attach something to a page in this forum but as you've seen, nothing happens when you press attach using the phone. It won't allow you to browse files on the phone to select the one you want. It's driving me mad to be honest and I feel like sending the phone back as not fit for use and going back to my old X6 (that works perfectly) as the Windows Phones just seem riddled with basic software issues. I'm beginning to wish I'd never upgraded my phone package now.
I'll try what you suggest and try using a third party internet browser but you'd have thought Microsoft would have got the basics of IE9 on the phone right wouldn't you.
carman58, uploading to Skydrive doesn't seem to be a problem, but it's not their that I'm trying to send the photos to. I'm a photographer that submits them to a specific website and need to either email or submit the files using the website rather than to a hosting site.
Thanks for the suggestions,
Darren

The search suggestion drop box doesn't allow you to go on the web when you click on the suggestion.

When I type in a search word in the search box, the dropdown menu of suggestions doesn't allow access onto the web.

Lumia 800 doesn't keep time

I've had this problem for ever now, and none of the updates have fixed this issue, and I'm not the only one with this problem.
The clock of my Lumia 800 runs too fast, in a week or two, it will be 3-4 minutes ahead of time, and in a month it's already 5 minutes, this is just unacceptable. The difference gain slows down with time so to keep it within a minute I need to set the time very often (weekly).
I've tried using manual time, and automatic, both of which don't help the problem, and it seems the automatic time option doesn't even work since no matter what time you set, when you switch it to automatic, it doesn't do anything.
To be honest, I'm a little disappointed by the support this phone has gotten since it's release, especially with the firmware updates.

Hi masterpeura,
Thanks for your post.
If your Lumia does not retain the correct time when on network time I would suggest you have the Lumia checked by a Nokia Care Point or Repair Centre.
From personal experience I can say when linked to Network time my Lumia keeps accurate and correct time on my own network (GiffGaff/O2) and when abroad (US, T-Mobile). It will adjust between time zones within a minute of switching on or coming out of flight mode. Obviously there may be a reason why your phone is not doing so for which it will have to be checked by a repair centre.
Hope this helps,
Kosh

Your Settings app is crashing. Sometimes, the only way to fix this is by restoring the iOS software but hopefully it will not come to that.
1. Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
2. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
3. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

Where is the Lumia 800 wifi tethering?

Hello
About two months ago, there was a lot of buzz on the net about "lumia 800 gets wifi tethering in the next update"
Well... Am I missing something important on my phone or is the wifi tethering still not there? I could use it, especially since Joikuspot is not available for this phone.
Thanks
Dieter

I keep asking the same question and never get an answer from Nokia, I cannot believe they do not know this. I purchased this phone after being told it was already available by the salesman. I purchased this on a higher contract so that I could get rid of my mobile dongle. I am now paying for both each month. This has really put me off Nokia, jut wish I was wasn't stuck with it for an 18 month contract.

Workable solution to Lumia 800 no tethering?

OK so I bought a Lumia 800 on a 2 year contract from Three (UK) without doing my homework. (All smartphones tether, right? )
Having realised my mistake I should have taken it straight back and swapped it for something else which supports tethering, but foolishly didn't, as I was reading that a tethering s/w update will be out early in 2012. So I hung onto it.
Now it's finally dawning on me there ain't no tethering update, I've screwed up big time and need to find another way to get mobile broadband for my laptop. I could buy a dongle, but it grieves me that I have already signed up to this Three 'all you can eat' data plan which is sitting there going to waste.
Now for slightly more than the dongle, I could purchase a PAYG Nokia C2-01 from Three. My idea is to get that and put my contract Three sim into it and use it as a USB modem from the laptop (*99#).
Can anyone forsee any problems doing this? I'm assuming the PAYG phone will just work with my contract sim as they are both from the same company, and of course I'm assuming that the C2-01 does function as a modem (this is the mistake I made with the Lumia!!).
If this works then long-term it's cheaper than paying for a separate data dongle.
thanks,
