hi
i am hoping someone can help me?
i cant access any text or email messages from my phone. if i press the icon on the windows screen - or through the menu it just flickers and goes back to the menu screen. not letting me see the inboxes. i can acces the internet, facebook but not photos?
it also seems to be stuck with the calender eg the reminder is coming up for 'tomorrow 9.00' when it was today at 9 - although the time and date are right
i have alot of info on my phone and it dosent seem to save to the memory card - not sure if this is related
i have tried powering it down til flat then charging and it worked for a short while then stopped
any help?? please!

Hi, cej5. Have you tried restarting the phone? Do not forget to remove the battery.
What is the current software version installed on the phone? Kindly go to Settings > Extras+Info to check this. Also, we suggest downloading the Lumia System Updater to check and verify that all the system apps are updated: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/lumia-system-updater/5be8fe18-6c8c-4339-b689-a8024cd4c3f...

Lumia 820 keeps hanging up calls.

Hi
I got a lumia 820 that keeps hanging up. Even with full signal strength.
A 10 min call can result in 5-6 hang ups.
Any advise?

We changed phone company at one point and it did the same before.
But that were a year ago.
I will write our current phone company and request a new simcard

Maps disappeared from settings in my lumia 820

Please help me to recover maps in my settings on Lumia 820. I can't use here maps or here drive anymore. Thanks for any help.

Hi, wonderwhynot. Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions! What were you doing with the phone before this issue started? Are you receiving any error message? What troubleshooting steps have you tried to solve this? BTW, where are you currently located & where did you purchase the phone?
Have you tried to reboot it? Press and hold the volume down & power keys? How about uninstalling & reinstalling the apps? Make sure that your phone has the latest software update:

Nokia Lumia 820 issues after Lumia Black update...

Before updating to the Lumia Black update:
1. Was able to connect the Nokia Lumia 820 to my home PC using Windows 8.1 and it was able to see the device and files on it as well as sync music from Windows Media Player to the device.
2. Was able to connect to the Nokia Lumia 820 from one of my Office PCs using Windows 8.0 and was able to see the device and files on it.
As well as to manually install Windows Phone 8 applications or install the Windows Phone 8 applications via Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate from either PC.
After the Lumia Black update, Neither PC can see files on the Nokia Lumia 820 nor can any application send files to the Phone's Memory Card or Second Memory Card. (SD Class 10)
Very frustrated with the Lumia Black update. Lumia Amber worked just fine.
I haven't changed anything as far as I know on my Nokia Lumia 820 device to cause said issues nor have I abused the device in any way.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Thank you,
BillNew
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Simply wanted to add 3 new audio tracks to the Music files via Windows Media Player but cannot even connect the device like it did less than 45 days ago when everything was working properly.
All my music files are on the SD Card because the file space needed is more than the 7.3 GB on the base memory for the unit. (Something like 8.1+ GB at the present time of 29.8 GB... which is the formatted size of the 32 GB SD Class 10 card.)
When the Nokia Lumia 820 is connected to my home Windows 8.1 computer, Windows knows about it but cannot finish the handshake to see the device and the 2 memory areas on the device.
Have to determine which programs that I have installed after the initialization that I want to restore.
The problem at the moment is that turning off the unit loses ALL Music Album Data but the songs are still there. This seems to have been caused by Lumia Black Update but not sure if that is true or not.
Have a lot of stuff to backup before resetting the device. Perhaps could upload everything to SkyDrive / OneDrive then restore the data after a full reset of the device.
I have all my cell phone contact data backed up but would like to backup all text messages too.
I have 2 custom applications that I have developed but are not yet setup using the Windows Phone 8 Development License as released products... that will be done soon.
Cannot backup the latest pictures on the phone... not many since the last backup but there are pictures that are not restorable that I would like to keep.
Would rather not have to do a complete reset but may have no choice.
Thanks,

Lumia 820 Music Sync issue.

I installed 16GB micro SDHC card into my Lumia 820 and set as default for music and pictures. I try to sync music between my mac and phone. But the end of the sync, error message comes up which says all the music can't be copied. When I check the storage section on my phone. Music and video shows 0 and seems like all the music is in "Other" section. Couldn't see anything under "Music". Tried Google and can't find any solution. Please anybody can help me. Thanks a lot.

I have also experienced the same issue and wasted about 4 hours of my life yesterday attempting to deal with it.
Music syncing to SD is horribly broken on the 820, on both 1232.2109.1242.1001 (original) and 1232.5951.1249.1003 (portico) firmwares.
I have ended up in a state where I have had to factory reset to fix the mess on 2 occasions now, on both original and portico firmware. This issue is definitely not fixed in portico.
For some obscure reason, particularly when using the desktop sync app, if it fails and tries again the music app gets very confused and displays an array of duplicates. If you perform an SD card format whilst in this state, the music app still 'thinks' that some of the music is still there and displays it as such. The only way to fix this erroneous display is to factory reset, which is far from ideal.
A workaround to the duplicate issue is to *not* use the desktop Windows Phone app, which seems to be horribly broken.
The Metro app often says that it 'Cannot copy the file to your phone' but it actually has without any issues, go figure.
I also noticed that some SD cards simply don't work properly in the 820.
I firstly tried a brand new Samsung 32GB which intermittently stopped working when syncing, dragging and dropping, and downloading on the phone causing the store to refuse to open necessitating a reboot.
I'm currently using a Transcend 8GB which does not exhibit that problem.
I tested the Samsung on my PC and it works fine, but I returned it to Amazon as faulty and exchanged it with a Sandisk 32GB, so I'll see what happens with that when it arrives I guess.
I don't know if this is a Nokia issue or a Microsoft issue. But someone needs to step up and fix this, because a 'switcher' from another platform will return the device immediately.
I've been a Windows Phone user for some time (Omnia 7, Lumia 800, then 820), but seriously, this issue was really making me consider my choice of platform.
Music syncing to SD *needs* to work and it needs to work reliably.

4G support for Lumia 820

After launch of 4G LTE on 1800 MHz band in Pakistan can i expect Microsoft Devices to enable 4G in my Lumia 820 through the upcoming Denim update? Currently although i have a LTE sim, highest connection speed is shown as 3G. I have read on a blog that denim or 4G connectivity may not be offered for 820. I would emphasise that someone from Microsoft Devices may kindly clarify so i may plan to ditch my phone in case this is true!

Microsoft have inherited Nokias way of doing things, so they work with local operators to have the phones approved to use on the particular network before releasing updates, and before enabling new features. Other vendors may release phones and updates and hope it will work. My friends often complain about dropped calls on expensive, competing phones, something that has never been an issue on my Nokia phones.
The particular trouble with LTE/4G is that phone calls still need 2G or 3G in most areas. This fallback is not trivial to do, since it is very different technology. Also since there are at least three major network hardware suppliers (Nokia, Ericsson, Huawei) to provide the equipment for the cell towers, this in itself can be challenge. There are official industry standards to ensure compatibility of course, but I prefer something that is tested and approved for my region.
LTE is still work-in-progress. I keep the money for a new phone in my pocket until my operator enables phone calls on 4G (VoLTE) which completes a phone call in less than a second, instead of an up to 10 second wait. the long-range 700Mhz frequencies for rural areas will be nice too, and then there is carrier aggregation for even higher data speed. It is nerdy stuff, but that is how I am.
It is very unlikely that you will get an official response from Microsoft, so I hope this helps.

Speed dial on the Lumia 820?

I cannot find anywhere how you set speed dial on the Lumia 820? can this be done

@ lynnai41 - You may go to your contact list, select the contact and long press on it .. then select 'pin to start' and the contact tile will be pinned to the home screen. Else, you may search for 3rd Party applications (search for 'speed dial' ) at the MarketPlace.

Nokia Lumia 820 battery

Goodevening,
I have the impression that the battery of this smartphone is inadequat.
I just did the test :
- no apps running
- no calls in or out
- no messages in or out
- no search on internet or whatever
The smartphone was 100 % loaded and 24 hrs later, it only shows 40 % !!!
This means that if you are a quit busy user of the smartphone, this means that you have certainly to charge your battery every day, even when your smartphone is new.
What kind of **bleep** smartphone is this ??????
Regards,
Karl

WP8 Nokia Maps Lumia 820 - Offline Maps Can't Dele...

Hello,
I have a Nokia Lumia 820 with approximately 1GB of memory free.
I am trying to download an offline map (approximately 150 MB) but I am always getting an error stating: "Not Enough Room, you need at least 1,137 MB of free space on your phone to get this map".
I get the same message when I try to delete a previously downloaded map!
Anyone had this issue before? Any help wuld be appreciated.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

One year later, this bug is still around: Nokia Lumia 1520 (1028.3562.1402.0001) with HERE Maps 3.5.486.8.
In our German section, there is a guess, this relates to ‘maximum memory use’ (quota) which we all know from our Symbian days until Nokia Maps 3.01. It looks like the quota is fixed at 50%. Or stated differently: If your map data is larger than the remaining free memory, you get this error. or stated correctly: If your remaining free memory gets smaller than your existing map data, you get this error.
Therefore, my solutions are:
to remove a very large country like Russia or China,
(three dots, horizontal ellipsis) Options » Delete all maps, or
to use a memory card and Lumia storage check beta.
The beta version still works on my Lumia Black. Because the now included Storage Check does allow Maps on memory card, you still need that beta. And because you cannot search and find that app from the internal Windows Store, you have to enter the above link into the Internet Explorer within your Lumia – or you download and install the XAP file manually.
Consequently, to download the whole HERE world, one needs a 64 GB memory card.

Can't set up BBM on my lumia 820

Any time I try to set BBM on my Lumia 820, it keeps telling me incorrect device time, but my device time is usually correct.
Moderator's note: The post was moved to the most appropriate board.

Hi, Limanngbana. Did you also check if your phone is set to the correct region? Go to Settings > Region. Apart from it, were you able to download any apps from the Store? Try switching your connection from Wi-Fi to mobile data or vice-versa to further check the issue. Note that some app may only be available to some countries/region.
Hoping for your timely response.

SIM-unlocked Nokia Lumia 820 in New York, US?

Hey guys,
Would anyone, especially those from Nokia, know when SIM-unlocked versions of Nokia Lumia 820 will be hitting the shelves in the US, particularly in New York?
Since dealers here in the Philippines keep telling me that the new Lumia phones will not be available until 2013 comes, I assumed that SIM-unlocked versions will be arriving earlier in the US so maybe I can just have one bought from there.
Thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Okay, thanks for the reply. Just received some unconfirmed news that Lumias will be arriving at Singapore this December. Hmm, I've always thought that US was one of the first countries to receive the goods.
Well apparently they did, but only carrier versions. Maybe it's about the market there who prefer free phones from carrier plans over buying retail phones (I don't mean to generalize though).
Anyway, thanks again.
