Lumia 900 GPS bug

So I've had the Lumia for about a week now and for the most part I like it. But lately I've been running into a bit of a brick wall with any sort of Map application I use.
Now I use maps on my phone a lot, especially when traveling, so this is a huge deal to me. Whenever I hit the button to show my current location, instead of pointing to Denver it either points me to Roswell, GA or Akron, Ohio. Never having been to either state this is incredibly bizarre, and I can't think of any reason my phone would do this. I downloaded other map utilities to test it out, so I can confirm it's not app related.
At first I thought it might have just been some weirdness related to the office building where I work, but when I got home I was getting the same thing. I've already had to get the phone replaced once because the capacitive buttons on my first model died, so I'm hoping I don't have to do that again.

Well, @ 17:12 EST I am back to Ohio.
@ 17:25 all of a sudden I am back to my location ...
@ 17:58 -> back to Akron Ohio
I have no idea why that is ...  I don't think it's HW and I don't think it is based on activity because 2 phones bought 1 week apart have the same issue at the same time - confirmed.  A hardware problem would have revealed itself much sooner.  It does seem that both phones fail to locate the GPS coordinates and go to some sort of default location that may be in Ohio for the Eastern US.  The AT&T angle is interesting, but why would the AT&T network somehow interact with the GPS satellites?  Technically, you would have to go the extra mile and write quite a bit of code to "force"a device to somehow "need" a "network" in order to use GPS and/or GLONASS.  Any way, I seriously doubt that AT&T is behind this since GPS and GLONASS do not belong to AT&T at all (independent). 
In System View Pro, I have GPS location, and it does show the wrong GPS coordinates in Ohio.  Military Compass does the same thing.  So, I think that it is a GPS/GLONASS based issue.  GPS is based on triangulation and time.  Keyword is TIME (as in exact time to the ns).  The device must be Time synchronized perfectly in order to determine GPS coordinates.  Could there be an issue there?
Any how, this is a CRITICAL problem since so many apps depend on your location in order to function properly.
NOKIA must look at this issue and  I hope that they monitor this exchange.  This could reveal something deeper that may affect a greater number of people later on and become news (as in "something bad happened").

  • Lumia 900 GPS doesn't work offline

    I've had my Lumia 900 for about a year and a half.  At first it would get no GPS signal, like my old 5800.  After a few months it started receving signals over much--definitely not all-- of my area (I live in NYC).  It seemed usable, and I got rid of my TomTom.  Now it's back to never receiving signals, and the only way it can read my location is through WiFi (I don't have a data plan).
    I have no idea what is going on, or why I now have had two Nokias that allegedly had offline GPS, but really didn't except for a few months.  Anyone have any hints as to what might be going on or what I can do?

    I am not a Here Drive advocate - it is just practical experience from my Nokia N8, that goes from navigating reasonably well to almost useless when the SIM is removed. It has taken me to the place that I needed to go when I really needed it - and only had me driving in a circle once a couple of years ago, when trying to get out of an unfamiliar place. Heading the car in the general direction and ignoring the instructions for a while sorted that out.
    Here Drive calculates a new solution for the remaining route automatically when the driver decides that he knows better. It does not do simple u-turn corrections back to the original route, unless another solution is impossible, it's a new solution to the destination. If the telemetry still works as it used to, then the driver's alternative solutions goes back to the mothership for analyzing and future improvements of the routing algorithms.
    Shortest or fastest route calculation works for me in Denmark.
    If a cheap Ebay GPS works better for you, then the solution is simple.
    Best regards,
    Hans

  • Lumia 900 Camera bug

    Why there is no firmware update to fix the camera bugs of Lumia 900 up to the moment. It is almost a year from the day launched.

    I have contacted the Nokia Hong Kong since I found the problem (over 5 months), but they don't have any solution just ask me to wait for firmware.
    From the day of L900 launched, there were 2 updates (included 31/1/2013), both could not help in this matter.
    30/1, Nokia Hong Kong informed me that the related fix will be ready on April.  Is that true ?  Even there were release on 31 Jan 2013, your Community Manger (Global) also kept it as a secret on his email reply 2 weeks ago. How I can know the release date on April is true.

  • Lumia 900: Bugs I wish to make known for future s...

    Proud owner of a Nokia Lumia 900 (matte black).  Beautiful phone but I'd like to report some bugs:
    A) Audio Sound:  Way too low for audio out to either  a headphone or listening through the auxillary port in my car.  I use my phone at the gym and while the audio is clear it's way too quiet even at 30/30.  In my car I have to crank up the volume really high to hear my music.  My previous Samsung and Apple devices always sounded loud and clear compared to the Lumia. 
    B) Tiles don't always open completely:  Several times when I click on a live tile the app starts to load then it just goes back to the homescreen.  I'll repeat the task and the same thing happens again and again until I reboot.   Also sometimes when playing music apps like Spotify, Slacker or TuneIn the apps will play in the background but when I go back in to try to pause them I can't.  The app won't reload and it's not found when I hit the back arrow.  Again I have to reboot to regain control of my phone. 
    C) Poor data streaming performance even with good signal:  AT&T's network rocks in my area.  Very solid.  But since I've started using the Lumia I've noticed that streaming data often pauses or freezes for no reason.  Usually by relaunching the stream it returns only to cut out again without recovering on its own.  Yes my device has the software update that was shortly released after launch and this happens on several streaming apps.  If I was new to AT&T I might be inclined to blame their network for this but I've been using them for a long time and have several devices that I've used without this issue. 
    D) Camera:  For a device with Carl Zeiss optics it performs average or below average compared to competitors like HTC or Apple.   Needs better support for those with shaky hands and for less than ideal lighting situations.  
    That's about it.  Everything else I love about this phone.  I'm hoping Nokia can take feedback like mine and use it to improve their product line over time.  We're picky here in the US and we like out products bigger and better than everyone else.  We also are a gadget driven country and we'll pay more to have the best.

    Yeah, but do not expect to see those changes on your current Windows 7 phone. If those issues are adressed they will most certainly only be fixed on Windows Phone 8

  • Lumia 900 Screen Draw bug

    Found an interesting bug on a few lumia 900's (i have tried it on 4 and all show it) that may affect certain games, especially Harbor Master for me since it involved drawing lines to the screen edge.
    The problem is that if you draw one straight line from the left edge of the screen to the right edge (or the  other way around), the end of the right edge (about 1 cm wide)  doesnt acknowledge the line drawing unless the line is drawn very slowly.
    To reproduce the bug, open the nokia diagnostic tools and run the 'Touch' test. To get the diagnostics tool if you dont, just dial ##634# using the touchpad.
    Draw a line fro the left edge to the right edge quickly and you will see what i mean. Or from the right to left. The same thing happens if drawn from top to bottom.

    1. I notice it is when I go to unlick my phone there is a noticable lag. When I pres the first digit of the PIN it doesn't register until after I have tapped the second characetr of the PIN. 
    2a. When the phone is charging it is VERY laggy. This is especaiily noticable when scrolling the start screen. Instead of the buttery smooth scrolling it is very choppy.
    2b. I have also noticed the slow response when plugging/unplugging the phone. Just today after I unplugged my phone it toook several minutes for it to acknowledge it had been unplugged. As long as that occurs I see the issua of 2a (choppy scrolling, etc.) as is if it were still plugged in.
    3. The entire device seems to momentarily freeze when the brightness automatically adjusts.
    4. At times the typing in any text box (email, text meassage, etc.) seems to fall behind. It is most noticable when first starting the message (maybe the brightness is changing?).
    I have those EXACT Same issues too.  Will also not that the brightness (when on auto) is SLOW to adjust to the lightting enviroment.  The biggest pain is #1 - as i usually have to enter my PIN in twice..
    I love my purple screen, 1/2 day battery, sketchy touch screen and $800 price tag - I call it my Lumia 900

  • Lumia 900 Bug: Notification during video recording...

    I just came across this one tonight and can duplicate almost every time.
    Make sure Vibrate is on
    Record a video
    Send phone a email from another device (while still recording)
    Phone will vibrate twice. Keep recording for 10 more seconds (padding)
    Playback video
    This is on my second Lumia 900, that had a purple tint, but a quieter vibrate than my previous phone.

  • Lumia 900 gets stuck on 4G (HSPA+) and won't conne...

    In this thread, 4G referrs to HSPA+, LTE referrs to LTE.
    Below I'm going to go into detail about the LTE issue with the Lumia 900 on AT&T.  This issue is separate from the no data connectivity issue that has already been addressed with an update.
    The problem: The phone will not reconnect to LTE after you leave the LTE coverage area and come back into the LTE coverage area.  Data works fine, but the phone only connects to 4G (HSPA+).  You are now stuck with slower 4G untill you reboot the phone or use the airplane mode trick (explained later).
    For example: I live in a 4G coverage area and work in an LTE coverage area.  I go to work and the phone connects to LTE.  I go home and the phone drops to 4G like it should since there is no LTE there.  When I go back to work the next day, the phone will not connect to LTE.  It stays on 4G.  I have attached two pictures demonstrating the issue.  Picture 1 shows the phone with a 4G data connection even though I have 5 signal bars and I'm in an LTE coverage area.  Picture 2 shows the same phone after I reboot the device.  I'm in the exact same location, but I now have LTE after reboot.
    When does the problem seem to occur?  The problem occurs if you leave the LTE coverage area and come back after a few hours.  It seems to happen most often after only 2 to 8 hours in the 4G area.
    I have been working with AT&T engineering for about a month and they have done multiple traces and can't find anything wrong with the network.  They see the phone connected to the 4G antenna instead of the LTE antenna on the tower.  My moms Lumia 900 has the same problem.  My wife has the HTC Titan II Windows Phone with LTE and it works perfectly.
    Based on my own observations, the issue has nothing to do with the amount of data you use either.  During the time you leave the LTE area, the battery may also appear to drain faster than normal.  I believe the problem is the phone keeps looking for that LTE signal but can't find it.  It then gives up and goes into 4G mode to save the battery but never again tries to reconnect to LTE.
    How to force create the problem:  I did this 8 miles from the official LTE coverage area.  1) At a high elevation facing the LTE coverage area, I turned on airplane mode while I was NOT in the LTE coverage area.  2) Next I turned off airplane mode.  3) The phone connected to LTE with one signal bar while not in the LTE coverage area.  4) Moments later it dropped to 4G.  5) Then I drove 10 minutes to the LTE coverage area and it did not connect to LTE.  It appears the phone saw the very weak signal and locked itself in 4G mode.
    Temporary fix:  To restore the LTE connection, you can reboot the device, or turn airplane mode on and then turn airplane mode off a few seconds later.  This of course turns off all radios and turns them back on.
    Please also feel free to see this thread on the AT&T Online Forums.  I'm not the only person with this problem.  AT&T Forums
    Does anyone else have this happen or can anyone at Nokia please look into this?

    This issue has still not been fixed.  I wish it would be fixed but Nokia hasn't officially responded to the issue.  Constantly having to use the airplane mode to get LTE is frustrating.  Just last week my phone got stuck in HSPA+ 3 times in one day while at my work desk (poor signal in building).
    I really wish Nokia would resolve this as they have resolved most other user complaints.  Data connectivity bugs should be a high priority item.
    I'm on my 4th Lumia 900, I've tried all the updates, doing a phone reset and working with AT&T engineering to no success.  My mom's Lumia 900 has the same problem.  Twitter support only says AT&T needs to reset my account.  I don't really get that.

  • 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..

  • 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.

  • Trouble with Lumia 900 navigation button not worki...

    Hei guys,
    This afternoon, all of a sudden, without nothing happened, my 3 navigation buttons (back, start and search) on my nokia lumia 900 stopped working. I really can't understand what happened since 2 minutes before the buttons were working perfectly and then the sensibility of the button is completely zero.
    Tried to turn off the phone several times, but it didn't worked at all. Searched around the web but noone seems having the same problem. I found only one guy that posted a similar problem like mine but recieved only an answer that didn't look really helpful (turn off the phone for 3 days and see later).
    All the rest of the touch screen still works perfectly,  it's just the three navigation button that don't work, even tapping all the time. there's no sign of response from the phone.
    I really have no idea what's happened. Did someone had a similar, if not the same problem? any suggestion how to fix it?
    please help guys
    Thanks.

    I know this is a month old but all of  a sudden this morning I begane having the exact same problem.  
    My troubleshooting tasks so far have been to reboot the phone about 3 times.  
    I have hard reset my phone with just holding the power button down (not sliding the screen when asked to). Connected it to my computer to make sure it was updated.
    Deleted all new text messages (there was a bug a while back that can cause Windows 7 to lock up on certain formatted text messages. Then rebooted the phone again
    Deleted all new email messages from my google account on the phone. Rebooted the phone.
    And still I do not have any of my bottom buttons usable.  Has anyone figurec this out yet?  Every time I do something I have reboot the phone since I cannot back up or get to the home screen.

  • 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

  • Lumia 900: Speaker volume too loud, headphone volu...

    I know this issue has been posted before, but I wanted to see if there are any updates. There was a firmware update to fix the purple hue problem, and was hoping this that this issue would be resolved along with it, but no such luck. The external speaker cannot get quieter than 7/30. Anything below that seems to do little or nothing. The alarms are scary loud even at 1/30. I can't turn music at work because even the lowest volume is WAY too high.
    The other problem is that the volume out of the headphone jack is way too soft. I have to bring the volume up to 30/30 to not have to crank the volume to a deafening level in the car, for example. If I forget to bring the volume down to 1/10 when I get out of the car, I get startled by a loud notification. It's a constant game of going from 1/30 to 30/30 and back to 1/30. It is very frustrating! Can we expect a fix for this sometime soon?
    -Jonathan

    I agree there is a volume bug on the Lumia 900 - I have had my black Lumia for about 5-6 days now. I used my previous phones as my alarm in the morning and wanted to continue to do the same with this device. With the preinstalled alarms app, regardless of whether I have the volume at 1/30 , 15/30 or 25/30, when the alarm sounds it is incredibly loud. Not a very good way to wake up in t he morning so I am currently still using my IPhone as my alarm clock. Let's get a bug fix out for this Nokia; I am having to use a 3GS to pick up your slack.

  • Lumia 900 video in

    Is there a way to get video from a different source, say an NTSC camera or DVD player into the Lumia 900? I see Hauppage makes a USB video input device.  The Hauppage device only seems to interface with Windows on a PC and it would need a USB-micro adapter. I would like to use the 900 as a display device in my car for a parking camera and use the GPS while driving.
    A bluetooth or Wifi input connection would be even better.
    John

    Just to add the Main rear camera resolution is 1280x720 (720p HD) while the front (as psychomania has stated) is only really for video calling and its resolution is 640x480(VGA).
    When recording on the main camera at 720p resolution the file format is a .mp4 file.
    The Audio codec used when recording with the main camera is AAC (Advanced Audio codec) with 2 channel stereo with a sampling rate of 48khz with a variable bitrate in around the 90kbs region. What you will need to do is to find out if this application Sony Vegas supports this audio codec, if not then you will need to convert to the sound everytime. Also just to ask if you play your Lumia recorded video files through the P.C using the standard media player (Windows media player) do you hear any sound?
    If you find this post helpful, a click upon the white star at bottom would always be appreciated.

  • Already Converted 10 of my family members over to AT&T for Nokia Lumia 900!!!

    Verizon,
    You decided to drag you feet, promote the crap out of Android and stop supporting Windows Phone 7.
    So I converted 10 of my family members over yesterday to AT&T for the Nokia Lumia 900.
    I got them $100 credit towards the Nokia Lumia 900 which AT&T was charging $99 dollars for the phone on Pre-Order.
    So my family members only had to pay $36 for the activation fee.
    Verizon, you had your chance.  You had multiple chances.  If you truly wanted an LTE Windows Phone 7 from Microsoft, you could have easily worked something out with them, just like AT&T did.
    All the information has been leaked out, Apollo/Windows Phone 8 was supposed to have LTE but because AT&T showed that they really were interested in Windows Phone 7 and actually carring a lineup of Windows Phone 7, Microsoft worked it out for them.
    So you can take all your Droid crap that you have heavily invested in, along with all your iPhone 4s that keep hogging all the bandwidth on your network and stick it were the sun don't shine.
    I promise you this, when my contract is done I will be terminating my account in FULL and switching over to AT&T as well.
    To not even stand behind a product that we all have signed 2 year contracts with is unacceptable for the price were paying.  To hold back all updates besides Mango is unacceptable just to lock in new 2 year contracts.  And I'm talking about Droid too.
    Carriers should not be in controll of phone updates PERIOD!!!  Updates should be released from the OS Manufactures just like on computers.  This business model that the industry has created is a SCAM, JOKE and an INSULT to everyone that puts there hard earned money up for phone service.
    Verizon, you have lost all respect in my book, and I will do everything possible to get everyone and everybody I talk to away from your network.
    Only way to solve this issue is to address the Windows Phone 7 community and actually annouce something, PERIOD!!!  Release the 8107 update as a good faith measure and issue a press release stating your business model regarding Windows Phone 7... Unless you want more dollars going to AT&T.
    Also, latest news shows that Android only made $22million in revenues last year, and spend $20 billion acquiring Motorola.  So I don't see Andriod being able to do much in the year 2012 to ramp things up to compete against Windows Phone 7/Nokia and Apple.
    Do Something, NOW!!! CAN YOU HEAR US NOW!!!
    Also, here's another suggestion... Do like AT&T has done and give users a early termination fee to get out of there contracts.  I believe they charge $35 dollars or something higher if your not satisified and want to terminate your contract early.
    Since you don't want to support or offer any more Windows Phone 7, why keep us as unhappy customers.  Give us an option to pay a early termination fee and leave!!!

What news are you reading? Android is not a company but a phone operating system. GOOGLE acquired Motorola, not Android. GOOGLE's 2011 revenues were 37.9 billion, NOT 22 million. Google acquired Motorola for 12.5 billion, NOT 20 billion.

Again, where are you getting this information? The AT&T ETF is $325 less $10 for each month of your contract which has been completed. It is NOT $35. Verizon has a similar, although slightly higher ETF of $350 less $10 for each month of your contract which has been completed.
    Yes, we can hear you, but you are not making any sense!

  • 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.
