Lumia 900 caller id

Hi,
I'm using the lumia 900 in Taiwan and I have most of the numbers in my phone book stored with the +country code then phone number. However, when i receive calls the caller id doesn't include the +country code, and so the phone doesn't recognize the number as a contact in my phone book. so basically the names of the people calling me never shows up... any way to resolve this? I rather not have to delete the +country code from every one of my contacts.
Thanks

This is operator dependent have a read HERE it might work,,good luck...
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520

Funny issue while making calls in my lumia 900

So a strange issue popped up after the 7.8 upgrade to my Lumia 900 (I waited till all issues seemed to be resolved before applying it). Anytime I try calling a number that is not in my contacts- I just get a call ended message. The call just doesnot go through. I can make calls to my saved contacts without any hassle though. Any ideas...would SIM be a culprit though not sure why the 7.8 firmware update would affect the calling aspect.

Hi ananthj,
Welcome to the forum!
To isolate the case, you can try a different SIM card on your device. This is to check if you will encounter the same behavior. If it's still the same you can reset the phone to the factory setting. Just don't forget to back up your files first. Check the link below for the step-by-step procedure:

Lumia 900 / 800 identifying a incoming call contac...

Hi All
I have a problem with my new Lumia 900, basically my parents have a very similar number (0428****** & 0429******) with the * being the identical numbers. When a call comes in from 0429 it identifies it as the other contact (my dad in this case, I think this may be because his number is first in my contacts as Mum is further down the list alphabetically, havnt tested this yet). This is obviously very very annoying! Incoming text messages are identified correctly it is just the incoming call, now my brother has a Lumia 800 and his does exactly the same thing!
I have come from a HTC Titan and it did NOT have this problem so I know it is not a Windows Phone problem, doing a bit of digging in Nokia forums however it appears this problem has been seen before with Nokia Symbian devices (http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Eseries-and-Communicators/Similar-Numbers-from-Deferent-Operators-Ha....
Nokia please please fix this in your Lumia range

Hi All
I got the notification about an update a couple of days ago and have just updated to 12301 and this problem is still present. No Nokia activity in this thread for a while now...
I'm looking forward to the Lumia 920 but if it has this problem just like my 900 does then I'm afraid to say I will be switching away from a Nokia once again. I came back to Nokia after having had many HTC WM and then HTC WP7 phones, all of which had been great devices. I was very pleased to see Nokia supporting the Windows Phone ecosystem and jumped on the 900 as soon as it came out.
After having had my Lumia 900 for a while now, I've got to say I have been fairly dissappointed in its battery life & this rather annoying bug that I see daily.
Hope a Nokia rep can chase this up, thanks

3G+ Video Calls on a Lumia 900

Hello!
I've posted this once in another thread, but I don't seem to have noticed, so I'm opening a new thread for it. .
With a recent price-drop (thanks to WP8), I bought a Lumia 900 for my girlfriend. She really wants video calling, and while, my phone is capable of it, it doesn't have the comfort of skype, so we have no choice but to use 3G+ video calling through the operator, which should be fine with my subscription, except, her Lumia doesn't seem to work with this variety of video calling. .
I can use my phone to video call other phones, but not a Windows Phone. Our operator's Customer Service agents aren't exactly familiar with Windows Phone, so they seem clueless. I can't resort to Skype-to-operator type of calling, because then I'd have to pay for Skype Credits AND her 3G. .
In a nutshell, I need help with video calling without using Skype or Tango. . Help?
Model: Nokia Lumia 900
OS Version: WP 7.5
Issue: 3G+ Video Calls (without using Skype/Tango/etc)
I can't imagine me being the only one who has an issue with this, so if there's any solution out there, please help. .
SIlver

Video calling as per symbian phones is not possible with wp devices. Video calling on windowsphones is by using skype or other 3rd video calling apps. This is a Microsoft constraint. If you wish to request a feature, you should direct it to microsoft on the windowsphone.uservoice.com site. But i wouldnt get my hopes up. Microsoft are working at deeply integrating skype into the os.

Lumia 900 bluetooth connection drop

Hi,
I have a Flyaudio multimedia head unit (type 80054A1) in my car and I just recently bought a Nokia Lumia 900 with 7.5 software version. The problem is that it connects the phone, finds the call records etc etc, seems everything is working fine. And then it starts droppng the connection - maybe a 30 seconds and the connection is lost, then another 15 second or so and the connections is back on, and so it repeats itself the whole day. I updated the phone to 7.8 and still the same continues. At the same time, my wife's phone stays on connected the whole time, as do other friends who have tried this. As far as I have checked all of the phones have BT 2.1+EDR (the multimedia unit itself is 2.0+EDR). So it should work fine, but for my Nokia it isn't.
Please help me as this is geting totally frustrating.
Thanks!

Hi lumiasubaru,
Welcome to the forum!
Have you already verified this to your car's manufacturer if the Lumia 900 is compatible with its Bluetooth? You can also try to soft reset your phone by pressing and holding the Power button for 10 seconds. After it’s off, press the power button to turn on your phone again.

Lumia 900 Various Issues

I recently purchased a white Lumia 900 this past weekend, and just wanted to go over some concerns/issues I've had with it thus far. I was thinking about doing a return/replace with At&t, but it seems that the issues may vary. I'm hoping many of these can be resolved with a software update. Just FYI, I already ran the update that was released on 4/16 and have also reset the phone a few times since then.
Display:
1. The display has a purple hue (most noticeable on gray backgrounds) when set to low brightness. This is mostly an annoynace since my wife has the same phone and hers does not exhibit this behavior. I'm hoping this is not a hardware issue as it displays fine above the low brightness setting. Below is at least one thread of people having the same issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599308
2. Screen response is slow. It seems that that there is a delay between where my finger is and how the screen tracks my movements. I'm hoping that can be adjusted to be similar to how the Lumia 800 responds as per this video. The tracking starts at 3:45.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KBDZrqVW-8
3. Home screen scrolling is slower than other Windows Phones. On my previous Dell Venue Pro, I could scroll through the home screen much faster. From reading about the web, it seems that the Lumia 900 is set at a much slower pace, or that the inertia scrolling just isn't set. I'm hoping that can either be changed or allow us to change the scroll speed. The combination of the larger screen, the slower screen response, and the slower scrolling just makes the phone feel slower than it should be.
http://forums.wpcentral.com/lumia-900-ace/190309.htm
Sound/Notifications:
1. There is a large volume discrepancy between the speaker and the headphone jack. I try to keep the volume at one setting (around 18) because that is most comfortable for me when listening with headphones, but switching back to the speaker, and it is just clearly too loud at that setting. I'm hoping this can be changed with an update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615986
2. Changing the volume while the screen is off is very inconsistent. I have to press the volume rocker buttons several times before it makes the incremental change. It seems others were having issues with the volume rocker not working at all prior to the 4/16 update, so I'm hoping this can be fixed further.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1607937
3. Vibrate function seems to be making a rattling noise. This one definitely seems to be a hardware issue, though what I have seems to be 'normal' for a Lumia 900. It's not as bad as others I've seen on the web, where it would be extremely loud, but it is annoying nonetheless. I'm just hoping a hardware fix can be put in place for the future. It sounds similar to that of the Lumia 900 at the end of this video.

Camera:
1. The camera has issues with white balance and focus. This is definitely a software issue, since 3rd party camera software are able to take great pictures just fine, such as SophieCam. I'm hoping this can be addressed soon.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605444
Despite these issues, I really do like the phone. I hope many of these issues can be addressed soon via software updates. We broke contract with our previous carrier to obtain these phones, and would really like to keep them, but not at their current state with these various issues. I'm hoping Nokia will see these issues and provide quick and helpful support for them.

OK, so I've calmed down a bit and now realize some detailed explanation of the issue could help to identify it more than ranting. So, here are the usage conditions and symptoms I noticed when I got into this battry drain, laggy, warm phone situation.
1st time:
Where: At work which is outside of Phoenix in a spotty reception area. I had maybe 1-2bars of 4G showing
What: Drove to work using bluetooth audio all the way. When I got to work I was trying to download an App, but the download failed. I tried again, and the download started, then just froze at 15%. I cancelled the download and tried again. It started to download and froze again at 15%. I attributed this to the weak coverage (but since then I've been able to complete a download from the same location with the same service)
Then the battery seemed to drain as fast as I could charge it...literally. I had the phone plugged into a USB charger and the state of charge barely changed after hours of charging. I never thought to re-start. I got home and my battery was basically dead after bluetooth audio all the way home (almost 1 hr). I finally restarted and had no more issues. Didn't really think anything of it...just thought my new phone had a **bleep** battery life
2nd time (following day):
Where: At home with strong LTE coverage in Tempe
What: Woke up, paired up with my portable bluetooth stereo at home. Let the music play while I hung out in the pool for a few hours. I was simultaneously taking pictures throughout the afternoon. Battery charge quickly fell to about 25%. I started to notice that when I would zoom into the pictures I had just taken, it would take about 15sec for the resolution to re-sharpen after zooming in. About 20min later my battery critically low warning came on. So, I plugged into my wall charger. Can't remember at what point I re-started.
That was Saturday. I had no issues and great battery life on Sunday. No bluetooth audio usage. Used Nokia Drive, the phone, internet, and various apps, but no BTA.
3rd time:
Where: Driving from Tempe to work, passing in and out of coverage along the way
What: Streamed Bluetooth audio the entire drive with a few phone calls mixed in. Got to work and the phone was warm, but I assumed this was normal after an hour of usage. Got into work and noticed it being laggy in general. Turned off data and BT Gave it a few minutes to recover and for the phone to cool off with no usage. Phone didn't cool off and remained laggy, so I figured something was up. I re-started, all issues disappeared, and phone cooled off. It has been fine since.

Lumia 900 - WEIRD - Hairline Crack appeared out of...

First let me start by telling:
- I take amazing care of my phone and I DID NOT dropped the phone and neither did anyone else in my family
- I always make sure that I don't even keep my car keys or wallet in the same pocket as the phone
- I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY LUMIA (best phone I ever bought....it is gorgeous and it works ...all the time)
The only thing I think that could have caused this is direct sunlight. Yesterday while coming back from work I had the phone on passenger seat and once I reached home after 20 mins I realized it may have been under direct sunlight ( it was a beautiful day....)
Then all of a sudden after a few hours I noticed this hairline crack and have been extremely puzzled...
Called Nokia Support and they gave me a reference number and asked me to sent it for repair.....

Lumia 900 suggestions from an owner, if Nokia want...

I got my Lumia 900 this weekend and have been using it non-stop for a day. My previous phone is an iPhone 3GS, a nearly three year old phone that the Lumia should beat hands down; the Lumia barely beats a 3 year old 3GS.
THE GOOD
Here are the ways in which the 900 beats my old iPhone:
1. It's faster, touch is more responsive.
2. amazing screen.
3. Better camera
4. Better OS (faster, more fluid, simpler and easier, integrated social (huge +), Outlook/mail is far better than the iOS client for formatting, speed, function, etc.)
THE BAD.
For some basic every day stuff, the 900 falls short on real-world scenarios, where Apple paid relentless attention to the nuances and details of how we use phones every day. I'm hoping a firmware update can solve these easy issues.
1. Ringtones & Sounds:
Lowest volume level is way too loud for real world scenarios. Prepare to be startled in bed or in a meeting. The iPhone's volume range is far wider and more useful.
Level 01/30 is comically loud (Try "silk" at 01/30), and shows a lack of real-world consideration by Nokia and Microsoft. I did some casual testing: the 900's level 01/30 is about the same as the iPhone's 5/10, and yet the iPhone's 10/10 is about 25/30 on the Lumia 900.
2. Screen Brightness:
The lowest level is way too bright and doesn't consider bedroom or dark scenarios where your eyes have adjusted to the dark. (even "Auto" brightness is far too bright in the dark)
If you're in bed and don't want to upset your partner, or simply want to read in the dark, the 900's "Automatic" and "Low" settings are far too bright. The iPhone's darkest setting can go as low as about 20% of the level the 900's lowest "Auto" setting. (the 900's "Low" setting should be the level at which the screen goes dark after a few seconds of inactivity)
a. Silence your ring/vibrate by turning your phone face down.
b. Raise your ring volume if the phone senses it's in your pocket or hand bag.
4. I don't want to Hold Different.
The sharp corners on the bottom of the phone are annoying. After holding the phone while talking, the corner of the 900 gouges; there's an actual sharp impresson in my palm. It gets distracting while talking. This is a case where design asthetics won out over function. Nokia should have rounded the edges a bit on the bottom corners.
I realize that some of these issues are constrained by WP7, but some aren't. For instance, my old HTC Titan had a much lower and reasonable "Low" screen brightness setting (but its lowest ring volume was just as loud).
Nokia has made a good phone. But not a great phone. And you have to exceed your competition to beat it.
Moderators notes: Inaccurate information removed.

I have a Nokia Lumia 820 and the screen is way too bright on low !!
So bloody indiscreet, like carrying around a car headlight.
There are many other things I could complain about, there is a fair bit of "double handling" the phone subjects you to. You start Nokia Drive Navigation which thankfully now starts from maps, then it has to ask you if you're sure?! Then when you switch it off it asks you again if you're sure.. It's so annoying you run the risk of putting the car into a pole. Of course I'm bloody sure..
I had to use an external ap Akruto to sync the thing offline to avoid the cloud.. why must they force people into the damn cloud that we have to use almost hacks to get around it?
Most disappointing of the lot is.. Microsoft owns Skype.. and Nokia and Microsoft are merged.. you you'd think Skype on a Lumia would work well.. Unfortutely it is still in Beta and has been like that for ages, full of annoying bugs. Great video calls, very impressed with continuity, screen quality, sound but the thing just has very bad interfacing with whether the application is on or off. People ring you and it looks like you ignored them.. it's messing with my relationships.
I moved up from Symbian and do regret it that many simple aps have to be downloaded, I wish they'd cared for us more and just put them on when it was bought..

Lumia 900 already broken

Having waited for what seemed like eternity, I was so stoked to finally pre-order my Lumia 900 from AT&T last week. I recieved it on Friday and could hardly contain myself. I quickly activated it through AT&T on Saturday morning and set-up my new phone. It worked great for about 8 hours; then the Data Connection completely went away. Incoming and outgoing calls work, as does the WIFI; however, the Data Connection is dead.
I called AT&T tech support and they were useless (helpless?), as the only thing we tried was resetting my phone to no avail. As an early adopter to Windows CE/Mobile and present iPhone user, I am embarassed and devastated. I have waited so long for the return of Windows on a phone and I thought Nokia was the right handset. My iPhone and Android friends are already poking fun at me for giving Windows and Nokia a second chance.
The AT&T store was closed today for Easter, so I plan on returning my phone tomorrow with my tail between my legs and my head held low...

@Bate119: I too experienced this problem today after turning my phone off for about 2 hours. I called att and they were no help. I removed the micro-SIM from the 900 and put it in my 800, used it[800] for a while; then took the micro-SIM back out of the 800 and put it back in the 900 and it worked.
I know this is a fix for most pior WP owners because their old phones does not take a micro-SIM.
Anyways, this was my fix.

Nokia Lumia 900 Data Counter and People Tile

Is there a data counter on the Lumia 900 that I can't find? I've tried to call the 3282 data number, and it always tells me I'm at 0 even though I know i've been on the data network and not wifi.
Also, can someone explain to me how much data something like the people tile/email account setup uses? I've never understood apps like that coming from suuper old phones. Is it constantly checking your email/facebook? On some time interval? I'd really like to set up facebook and such with the people tile because it seems really nifty, but I don't want to go over my 2gb plan. I just don't terribly understand how it all works, and i'd be willing to try it out if I could see how much data i'm using..but that goes back to my first question...In the past when checking email/facebook I'd always just use the internet browser on my old Nokia e71x, and it wasn't giving me updates in real time like I know this guy is capable of. I'd like to use it, I just don't wanna eat up my data plan. Thanks for any wise words!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The email setting can remain always-on and email arrives instantly like a Blackberry if you set the synchronization settings to "as items arrive" for the email setup. There will also be a very small data usage checking for changes on various Windows Live services such as Calendar for changes so it can sync the data to the phone, or vice versa.
The People Hub tile uses existing picture thumbnails already stored on the phone from your contacts profile pictures and Twitter and the first profile picture it finds on your friends profile pictures on Facebook. Once the thumbnails are on the phone it doesnt use any more data.
It doesnt use any data to check for Facebook or Twitter until you go into the People Hub and swipe the screen into the "Whats New" section then it displays new Twitter and Facebook posts which have happened since you last checked it. Although if you have set Twitter and Facebook to email you when you receive a mention or interaction and you have your email set to receive messages instantly then you will have realtime alerts for those important things.
When you swipe to the "All" section of the People Hub and click on your picture it then gives you the option to post a message to Twitter / Facebook or Windows Live all at the same time, or selecting each checkbox for individual social networks if you only want to post a message to one or two not all. In this section you can also Check-In which places a Bing Maps location of the place you are using the GPS system. The Messaging system is persistent always-on and displays any contacts that are online on your Facebook chat and Windows Live Messenger if you have set it up, which when you receive a message is text only so uses very little data.

Nokia Lumia 900 Front camera issues

Hi Moderator,
I bought the new Nokia Lumia 900 few days back and today for the first time when I tried using the front camera on one of my video calls it just froze. Thinking that it is software(skype, tango) problem I tried to open regular camera but the front camera wouldnt come up. I called At&t technical support he advised me to switch off the phone, remove sim, re-insert the sim and turn it on. It worked(thought I still dont understand the realtion between sim and camera). But after some time the camera again hung up on me. This time I switched my phone off for 5 minutes and then turned it on it worked. And I cannot do the whole process again and again all day. Is that a known issue or defect in my phone.

I also have a new Lumia 900 with skype installed. I am finding that the experience on wifi is still not as smooth as Facetime on an iPhone. I am also finding that after I use it a second time (my call hung up in the middle), suddenly my front camera will not work correctly anymore. It is showing the image as though it has some kind of a filter applied and there does not appear to be a way to turn or reset this filter. Switching to the front view worked fine. Audio continued to work fine and my phone did not lock up, other then possibly internet delays. I got the front camera to work again by powering down. I think there might still be software issues.

Lumia 900 update to W7.8

I bought a Lumia 900 on Ebay a week ago. It turned out that it was an unlocked AT&T (unlocking code supplied as well). Apart from Drive I'm very satisfied with it. I have found, installed & mostly tried the apps I need. (Why is MS using an Apple term, call them programs?) However, I have not yet been able to install W 7.8, there are a couple of new features I would like to have. I have managed to update to 7.10 (8779). I have tried forced update but to no avail.
Anybody has any similar - solved - experience.

The term app has existed before the iPhone. It's simply short for application.
Microsoft has stopped the rollout of 7.8 for the time being to fix issues with the update. Turn on update checking in Settings>phone update to have your phone notify you of when the update is available.

Update 7.10.8773.98 for Lumia 900

Just wanted to put this out there as I wondered if anyone else was having the same issues as me since there latest update (which took embarrassingly a good 30minutes to do)
Since the update my phone is struggling to coupe with even scrolling through and screen, it lags very horribly and is very frustrating when on the home screen and need to get to the bottom tiles but seems to only let you scroll one line of tiles at a time . . . Also very,very annoying with the lock screen because it drops before it lets you attempt to catch it on the lag to unlock.
Problems with market keeps showing me errors when wanting to download anything, usually I have to press through the errors three times, Same thing happens when trying to sync my emails. . .
Web pages do not always display first time normally have to refresh a few times.
Also this has always happened even before the update, every couple of weeks my phone shows as call divert symbol but when you go into the menu to see if it is, it really isn't so you have to put it on divert and undivert in order to return to normal.
Just wander if anyone else had issues at all?

Have seen scrolling issue reported but as my Lumia 900 on OS 7.10.8779.8 is fine not sure whether this issue only appertains to OS 7.10.8773.98

Cannot enable Internet Sharing on ATT Lumia 900 du...

I have a Lumia 900 in the US. It was only sold by ATT in the US. I however am not with ATT, I'm with Straight Talk, an MVNO. When I try to enable Internet Sharing on the phone it pops up a message saying I need to contact ATT. I have no business relationship with ATT and they cannot help me. I would like to remove this message so I can get Internet Sharing working on my phone. The phone is unlocked, but that didn't seem to make the message go away.

Ok after feeling very positive that this was now going to work I can report that my call 611 ATT notification is now back and the internet sharing does not seem to want to be available.
Other observations that are worth noting.
1) You need to configure the internet APN using Nokia Network Setup with the fast.t-mobile.com and the MMS with the epc.t-mobile.com or the internet connection cuts out every time you hit LTE speeds. So thats only three entries required in the config the last being the MMSC address available on the T-mobile site.
I am enjoying my handset on T-mobile with the internet speeds, I would still like to use the internet sharing so I will continue to drill down and look or a way around the issue.
