Lumia 820 Photo Resolution Problem

Hi,
Can anyone help me solve why i cannot change the photo resolution on my Lumia 820?
When i check them on a PC they always come out at either 800x600 on 4:3 ratio or 800x450 on 16:9 ratio.
It's driving me mad there is no option in the photo settings or anywhere else in the phone to change this.
I read on another post that it can be related to skydrive uploading, although I have skydrive disabled and this problem still persists.
Please Help
Solved!

How did you download the photos to your pc? Photos uploaded to Skydrive are reduced in resolution by default unless you change the setting to Best Quality which requires wifi. To change this, goto Settings>Applications>photos+camera>Skydrive>Photos> Best quality
Other option to download high res is to connect phone to pc using USB.

Lumia 820 video playback problem

I've recently bought a Lumia 820, my choice partly influenced by the 2 to improve video recording, in particular at live music gigs. Whilst it does seem to be avoid the "wind tunnel" sound effect I've had on previous phone videos, each one I've played back has major blocking on both the picture and the audio, with neither being in synch, and therefore virtually worthless. I tried yesterday just filming a small crowd gathering, so no amps or loud noise, and have exactly the same problem. I'd set the video to record in high spec, so should I opt for the lower 720 spec, or is it a different problem altogether? And how do I solve it, before I get increasingly frustrated at having messed up and missed out on some valuable footage?!! Thanks.

What is the file format of the video you are trying to play? You can try to reset the device (soft reset). To do this, press and hold the Volume Down key and Power key until phone vibrates. If no improvement, I would recommend updating the device. You can set the phone to notify you when update is available through these settings:
Settings>Phone update>Place a check mark to "Tell me when updates are available for my phone"

Lumia 820 software update problem

I got notified via mail that phone update for Lumia 820 is released and available now for my device but when i manually tried to search it shows "we are unable to check for updates" plz some solution would be appreciated....Help!!!

Try a soft reset by holding both Volume Down and Power buttons pressed until phone vibrates and restarts. You will not lose any data or settings except possibly date and time.
If that doesn't help, try resetting the camera from settings > applications > photos+camera > reset camera.
If that doesn't help, try a hard reset from settings > about > reset your phone
If that doesn't help, try a full clean firmware reinstall using the Nokia Software Recovery Tool
If that doesn't help, take your handset to a Nokia Care Point to have it checked/repaired.

Lumia 1020 photo sharing problems

When I share a photo to another phone, the recipient can't open it. If someone sends me a photo, my phone won't open it. What's the problem and how do I fix it?

hi mate, no worries i am here to help.
could be a corruption of memory also, if it happens to several photos. you can perform a soft reset by pressing and holding the power and volume down buttons until the phone turns off then vibrates.
as for uninstalling, simply swipe across to the app list (the screen on the right that has a long list, not the one with tiles all over it), and tap and hold on Nokia Camera, then tap Uninstall. go into the Store and search for Nokia Camera and tap Install.

Lumia 820 voice calling problem

after the 820 update i can't here voice while calling....no clarity pls help.....

Thanks for the update, SonicBlue. Let's further verify if the issue is SW related or not. Try the following steps and see if the 'call' voice command will work:
1. Reboot the phone. Press and hold the volume down & the power key for 10-15 seconds until it vibrates and restarts. This won't erase any of your files, but you will need to re-set up the date & time settings.
2. Since the phone is already running Lumia Cyan, try checking if the system apps have already been updated as well. Go to Settings > swipe to applications > store > check for updates.
3. Try to use the speech feature using another language pack. This will help verify if the issue is related to the English UK language pack that you're currently using or not. Make sure that the phone's regional settings are correctly set as well. Some commands only work within supported countries. You can check this link for info about the availability of voice commands per country: Feature and service availability - Go to Speech.
Let us know the outcome.

Lumia 820 Internet Connection Problem

Hi Everyone,
Today I've noticed that my internet when not connected to Wi-FI, doesn't work. In the top left corner it regularly has 3-4 bars, but doesn't show H+, 4G or anything that it normally has. Could someone please provide any suggestions or answers to this problem.
Thankyou

Just to clarify. Are you saying your mobile data connection never works or only doesn't work when there is no wifi connection?

Lumia 820 battery indicator problems

I have some problems with the battery indicator. Sometimes it freezes at random percentages. Ex: i charged my phone; the battery indicator shows 100% and it remains at 100% even though i use the phone for many hours. I know the battery is not full and the indicator changes only when the battery reaches critically low level. Some other times it freezes at 77 or so. Ex2: during charging the indicator shows actual battery level(let's say 25%). But if i try listening some music, the indicator goes instantly to 100%.
i find these software problems a little bit annoying.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi mate,
have you tried performing a soft reset (pressing the volume down and power buttons together until the phone vibrates)? also ensure that you have the latest Nokia system app updates installed from the Store. have you also taken your battery out and replaced it after ten minutes. failing that, you may need to perform a hard reset (Settings > About > Reset your phone). make a backup before doing this to PC and/or online storage first of your data, as a hard reset wipes all data.
Failing the above, you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care for inspection: http://nokia.com/support

Nokia Lumia 820 change photo resolution

Hello,
Can anyone tell me why can't I change the resolution in the photo camera? If I choose video I can select resolution, but on photo I cannot, there is no option. This is not ok, my phone took the last photos both in landscape and portrait at 1280x720 / 720x1280 resolution. If it has 8mpx why can't I benefit from this res?? who from Nokia had this brilliant idea of taking out the option to select the photo resolution???

I presume you are uploading your photos to Skydrive. The phone automatically reduces the resolution before photos are uploaded. To dwnload your photos at full resolution you need to either connect to pc via usb or change the auto upload settings as follows. Goto settings>backup>photos>best quality (needs wifi)

Moving photos or music to SD card Lumia 820

I own a lumia 820 and recently bought a SanDisk 32GB Class4 SD card.
I tried to move all the photos from phone memory to SD Card memory as described below:
1. Inserted new SD card
2. Selected all photos from 'Camera Roll' and choose 'save to SD Card'
3. After the copying is finished, i see a new album created with all the photos i chose to copy in step 2 with album name 'Date when i copied them'.
4. I selected and deleted all the files from 'Camera Roll' album.
5. After 1hr or so, i see that new album created on SD card has multiple copies of same photo. This was seen for few photos and not for all photos in the album.
6. I manually selected duplicate copies of the photos and deleted.
7. After few hours i see that original photos in new album are not seen. These lost photos are the same photos which i thought were duplicate(as seen in album) and deleted as mentioned in step 6.
Coz of this i have lost many photos and i cannot get those moments back.
Mean while i had also copied all the music files from phone memory to SD card memory similar way.
I see duplicate music files for half of my music collection. I am not willing to delete these duplicate files which will lead to deletion of original file.
I see that number of duplicate copies of same music files increased, ex; i see 28 duplicates for s same music file. this is annoying and makes music browsing an irritation.
Does anyone face this issue, have found any solution, did Nokia has acknolwedged such bugs.
Since i have a old macbook from 2008, i cannot connect my lumia 820 to my laptop. So backup is not a primary solution for me.
Any suggestion or help is most appreciated.

Hello, I have a Lumia 620 and I had same problem with contacts and I've found out that they were sync to Windows Live which keeps in memory even what you have deleted, so pratically you're not deleting anything on the server but you can actually restore anything of what you think had be permanently ereased!!!! I didn't try to move pictures from the phone to the SD card, I do it with the computer and it works no problems. Are you sure it's not messing up with the sync? Probably I'm not of great help...anyway

My problems with Nokia Lumia 820

I was a big fan of Nokia until two months back when I purchased Nokia Lumia 820. It's been two months and I'm having tough time with the handset.
First it was the heat issue. I know smartphones are tend to get heated up due to processors. But my mobile gets heated up in less than 5 minutes when I play games like real football, wordament and even simple games. I thought I got a bad device out of the box. When I say heated up it's not warm, its hot and uncomfortable hotness. I can't hold my device until the heat subsides. I visited the Nokia care for raising the heat issue but they said they can't do much and updated my mobile to the latest firmware (1308) and asked me to check after the update and the heat issue is still the same. Just when I thought things can't get any worse it did. My mobile has visited Nokia repair factory already twice in less than two months of purchase. The first major problem occurred three weeks back when the display would be switching on and off randomly and finally the mobile got bricked. The screen went blank completely and the device was unresponsive. Along with that complaint I've again raised a complaint about the device getting heated up uncomfortably. 14 days after I submitted my device to Nokia care I got my device back only to find that the screen isn't responsive to touch in the middle within a week's time. The upper part and the lower parts are responsive, it's the middle strip that's not responding to touch.
I've again given my mobile to Nokia care and they have sent it to the repair unit. In two months of my purchase the mobile has spent more than 4 weeks at Nokia repair outlet. It is still undergoing repair in the Nokia repair factory. I had least expected this from Nokia.
Some of my friends who have windows 8 phones from Nokia haven't experienced any problems so far, not even heating problem. It's safe to say that the problem is only with my device.
It's two months old and I've got it from the Nokia priority dealer.
What'd you call a device which spends more than 40% of the time in the repair factory in two months of the purchase. Even the 3 months EMI's haven't been payed fully.
I've encountered lots of inconvenience after purchasing the device.

Bluetooth problem of Lumia 820

I tried two sets of Lumia 820, the problem is : When the phone connected with bluetooth headset (SONY HBH-DS200), and if I turn off and turn on the bluetooth on Lumia 820 twice or more( keepthe bluetooth headset power on), the Bluetooth function of Lumia 820 must be dead until I restart the phone; But if I turn off the bluetooth headset first, the problem seldom happens.
I hope it can be fixed after the AMBER update!

Any body know how to fix it?
The problem occurs about once a day. when the Bluetooth bug happens, I cannot open it again until restart the phone.
I experienced Lumia 520 for 15 days the bluetooth of 520 works much better than 820!
Note: when the Bluetooth out of work(Status off), the button is grey, and meantime the music player doesn't work either, it looks like paused even I press "PlAY" key, it doesn't play unless restart the phone
