NOKIA lumia windows 8 phones not supporting JAVA

Hi Nokia lumia latest windows 8 phones not supporting java. I Think its a big draw back because we cant install any java apps like Mobile banking Apps. Java apps market increasing day by day. Why nokia avoid this feature. is there any solution for this problem.

no solution unfortunately, however you may be able to try your luck with the WebApps app from the Store, and then search for your particular mobile banking website within that app.
and no, it is not Nokia that is not implementing support for Java, it is part of the Microsoft Windows Phone 8 operating system. if you wish to leave feedback with them, you can do so over at http://windowsphone.uservoice.com

How to sync a Lumia Windows Phone with Outlook

Hi
Like all I see I also bought a windows 800 on the basis that all our team of 50 would change from Iphones to windows so we could sync with our outlook which is not server based but we each run our own outlook folders but no there is no outlook sync. Yes you can copy to the live account and then use that as your main calendar but who wants to do that?
I asked and was told specifically that it would sync with outlook so the Carephone Warehouse guy either lied or did not know his stuff ( I know what my guess is!) Amazingly my wife's samsung galaxy using Android does sync.
If you can tell me how I can synchronise my windows phone with my Outlook without exporting and importing CSV and ICS files then please do so.
Moderators note: changed thread title to reflect subject. Moved from another thread.

Hi wobblybob,
Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting!
When you are told you can sync a Windows Phone with Outlook that would be correct. What you are really asking is 'can I connect my Lumia to the PC with the USB cable and sync with Outlook offline'. The answer to that would be no.
How you sync with Outlook can be answered in a short and long version. The long and extensive version can be found here. The short version is:
For Outlook 2003 and 2007 install the Outlook Hotmail connector and setup an account for your LiveID, for Outlook 2010 just setup the account and it will prompt you to install the connector. A step by step guide can be found here.
Hope this helps, let us know how you get on!

Camera Extras app for Lumia Windows Phone

Hi all,
You can use this QR code to get the Camera Extras app from Marketplace if it does not yet show up. Press the search button, then the scan icon (it looks like an eye) and point the camera at the screen. Or use your favourite QR scan app. Make sure you have the latest OS and firmware versions installed as these are required to use this app.
Hope this helps,

You need to read the announcement. There will be additional releases coming
to support other phones, you need to have some patience.

Windows Phone sync and transfer options

This post explains the options available for synchronizing and transferring contacts, calendar and tasks from your Windows PC to a Nokia Lumia with Windows Phone.
How Contacts, Calendar and Tasks are synchronized between a Windows PC and a Lumia family phone depends on which software is used on the PC
If a S40, S60 or Symbian Nokia phone was used before contacts, calendar and tasks can be synchronized between this phone and your PC using Nokia Suite with the following:
Microsoft Windows 7 contacts
Microsoft Windows Vista calendar and contacts
Microsoft Outlook 2002, 2003, 2007, 2010
Microsoft Outlook Express
Mozilla Thunderbird
Nokia Suite (v3.6.x and later) allows for an easy transfer of contacts, calendar and photos to your Nokia Lumia Windows Phone via SkyDrive.
Here's how this feature works;
Connect your Nokia S40, S60 or Nokia Belle phone to your PC using the USB cable.
After Nokia Suite is started and your phone shows as connected select Tools>Upload to SkyDrive and follow the on screen instructions. If you do not have one yet you will have to create a Microsoft account which has a SkyDrive attached to it. You can create such account here.
You will now have to reset your Nokia Lumia Windows Phone. Doing so will erase all content from the phone and return it to it's 'out of the box' state. Make sure you have synced any media files to your PC (Zune for WP7.x devices / copy them through explorer on WP8.x devices) or Mac(Connector). You can sync these back after the reset. When finished reset your Nokia Lumia Windows Phone using Settings>about>reset your phone.
Go through the Device First Use sequence and when asked enter your Microsoft Account used to save the content from Nokia Suite. When the setup has finished your will find your contacts, calendar and photos have all transferred to your Lumia. These will also be available through your Microsoft account through the web interface. The list of installed (paid) apps is also restored and the phone will start downloading these once the restore is complete. You can switch to WiFi for this if you have access.
It is important to note this transfer will only work to the Nokia Lumia at the Device First Use sequence (after a reset). If you have your Lumia setup it will not look for or sync the information copied to SkyDrive through Nokia Suite.
SMS message can not be transferred directly, but you can export all messages in Nokia Suite (Messaging>File/Export all text messages) and open the resulting Comma Separated File (.csv) in Excel or OpenOffice Calc to create an Excel sheet (.xls file) this can then be copied to your SkyDrive and opened from the Office app. You could also use a tool to create separate files from the exported .CSV file and copy all of these to SkyDrive.
If a Microsoft Exchange server is used an Outlook account is created on the Lumia. This is done through 'Settings > email + accounts >add an account > Outlook'. The following settings are required. Usually these can be obtained from the system administrator for the Exchange server:
Mail address
User name (usually the same as the login name for the business PC)
Password (usually the same as the password for the business PC)
The Microsoft Exchange server Domain
The address for the Microsoft Exchange server
If Microsoft Outlook is used for private mail account(s) the Outlook Hotmail Connector needs to be installed to synchronize with the primary Microsoft Account and with the Lumia.
The mail account needs to be set up as a separate mail account through:
'Settings > email + accounts >add an account > other account'
More information on setting up a mail account can be found here.
A useful tool for setting up the Outlook Hotmail Connector can be found here.
Additional Microsoft support pages for contacts and calendar.
If Windows Mail, a part of Windows Essentials, is used contacts, calendar and tasks are synchronized directly with the Lumia as long as you log in to Windows Mail using the same primary Microsoft Account as the one which is used on the Lumia. Contacts and/or calendar can be imported in to Windows Mail as follows:
Microsoft Windows 7 contacts, Microsoft Windows Vista contacts (and calendar)
Open Windows live mail
Go to contacts
Click on import
Import from current Windows user
Mozilla Thunderbird
Use the Hotmail extension for Thunderbird
Export contacts and import into Windows Mail
I hope this is helpful

AT&T and Lumia Amber Update DELAYS and delivery ti...

1) AT&T customers who are also Lumia owners now know that AT&T missed the Nokia deadline for all Lumia phones receiving the Amber update by 9/30/2013.
2) Here is an AT&T Facebook session I had with Nicole L. yesterday. You will note their (AT&T's) best answer is we affirmatively will receive the update in a few weeks:
My post - "AT&T Decision Makers (particularly in AT&T Mobility),
Several hours ago we passed 9/30/2013. Over a month ago the Nokia Corporation published a statement (see http://conversations.nokia.com/2013/08/30/lumia-amber-your-questions-answered/ ) that Amber updates would roll-out world-wide by 9/30/2013.
Along the past month, queries to customer care reps and social media "managers" about the release date of Amber (and GDR2) were routinely met with condescending replies that we're (AT&T) working as quickly as possible, please be patient, stay tuned, updates can be challenging to implement properly, and so on.
Now, several thousand Lumia owners who are AT&T customers are left to ask two questions. The first requires only an affirmative or negative response, the second an actual calendar date.
1) Are Nokia Lumia owners who are AT&T customers going to receive via OTA the Amber (Pr2) and GDR2 updates?
2) If #1 is answered in the affirmative, then what exactly is the AT&T deadline for OTA availability? If answered in the negative, exactly why are your customers not going to receive a manufacturer certified equipment update?
Thank you for your prompt and concise reply."
AT&T's reply: "AT&T Affirmative, Michael. Our best answer is a few weeks. It's been a long road, but I hope you'll be happy with the update when it gets to your device. Thanks for your patience! - Nicole L. "
In a conversation I had with AT&T Customer Care rep "LaTonya", she was unable to confirm a timeframe. I made mention of the fact that when Apple sneezes AT&T gets a cold; however when Nokia speaks AT&T yawns. LaTonya enjoyed my observation.
Is there a way to press Nokia USA corporate into advocacy on our behalf?
Thanks!

Actually what it said was:
With Lumia Amber we expect to have the update arriving in all Lumia Windows Phone 8 phones by the end of September. Be patient – it’s coming!
So there is no deadline like you claim and Nokia would never make such claims. That said, you bought an ATT device made by Nokia and as such ATT is the company ultimately responsible for this. It is up to them to approve the update and allow it to be made available to their product(range).

Lumia 920: Still trying to figure out what the pro...

Aside from being very upset about Nokia's not allowing updates for the unbranded 920s, I'm still trying to figure out what the problem is with my camera...
I had nearly a perfect working phone one and a half week ago. Even though the battery didn't last well and heated up somehow and there are gliches with some apps, the phone and its original apps worked without problem. Once the battery died in the middle of the night but I thought that it was because I didn't plug the charger well enough, it's a little loose anyway. I read about the freezes and restarts in different forums and was wondering what people were talking about, since I didn't have any such kind of problems. I felt myself being lucky.
Then I got some app updates (Nokia drive+ and a few others), and ever since then my camera hasn't worked properly. When I open the camera app or click the camera button nine out of ten times it just goes back to the home screen or else it freeze the phone. I have tried soft resets and restarts but they mostly don't work, or they might work long enough to take a couple of photos and then stop working, or otherwise it freeze the phone and need to soft reset it. There is no pattens as to when it works and when it doesn't. I have also tried to uninstall some apps but it seemed to have no effect on the condition of the phone. Every app that utilizes the camera won't work ( camera won't work but other functions work), flashlight app won't work.
Today I decided to hard reset the phone. It's surprisingly easy procedure that took less than 10 min. I did my first hard reset and chose to use my phone's backup files from Skydrive and it went fine, except it didn't do anything to the camera, i.e. it didn't work. My second hard reset I chose to "start from clean table" (or something of such) without any apps installed, and also disabled the automatic update but it didn't do anything either, no working camera. I did the same procedure once more just in case I did something wrong, but it didn't work. The fourth hard reset I restored from Skydrive to have (mostly) everything in order. No working camera either but almost everything else works now.
It puzzles me. I'd though that if the reason of camera not working is some app updates then start from the clean table would have resloved it. Even after hard reset using camera at the very first possible chance didn't succeed: it worked for a very short moment before it froze the phone, just like before resetting. If I can keep myself from touching the camera the phone itself works (aside from maybe once or twice restartd itself, very rarely anyway). Now I have a phone with a camera I can't use and I don't have a clue what the problem is. I don't think that there are hardware problems because the camera *worked*, and I don't believe that software updates can break it hardware-wise. I have thought of changing it but who can promise that I'll get a phone that works better. Probably I should wait for Microsoft's/Nokia's updates, it just feels like they never come...

hi mate,
Sorry to hear you are having such a rough time with your 920. In this case, it might be best to take your phone back to your point of purchase and ask for a replacement, and if they are being less than helpful, to take it to your local Nokia Care point instead: http://nokia.com/support
I can certainly empathise with you, as a lot of the issues you describe are apparently fixed by the Portico update by Microsoft that was released yesterday to AT&T and Rogers devices but not the rest of the Lumia Windows Phone 8 range unfortunately. Bit of a wait, but hopefully not too long until the update hits.

I do not use whatsapp and am not interested in what it does or not. It's up to you to report bugs to the developer. And when I check it's actually problems 8,10,11,12,13,14,19,20,21,22,23 and 24 related to Whatsapp. That's 12 out 25 of your "problems" related to a third-party app.
Phone switching on when charging is not a problem or a bug - that is the way charging works today - on WP8, Android and iOS so you'll have to live with it regardless of what phone you have.
Your issue 25 is not an issue - you just don't know how to do it. When you open the received text message at the bottom there is an icon with two arrows, one pointing left, the other pointing right. Tap on that icon and the number from which the message was sent will be highlighted.
Issue 21 - all contacts for which I have included a birthday are showing in my calendar. Don't know what you are doing wrong.
I could go on, but I have to do a bit of work as well.

Dolby audio settings for Lumia 520

As every nokia Lumia windows phone 8 device has a Dolby audio settings with a equalizer in the settings menu, there are presets and a
custom one. This is not available in Lumia 520. This is utter discrimination,just because it is a low end Lumia device. If Nokia didn't want to give us Dolby audio settings, then why show a audio menu like in other devices and when we open its blank. This is teasing us. They shouldn't have put the audio settings in the settings menu for Lumia 520. Firmware. This is very bad nokia. Either update the firmware by removing audio from the settings or just give Lumia 520 users a equalizer. All the devices have the same chipset 520,720,620. A qualcom msm8227 with 2 krait cores and same adreno 305 gpu. But 520 doesn't have the equalizer , the other devices do have it. I expect a. Prompt reply. Nokia.

I am so disappointed with the way this lumia 520 turned out to be. There is no speed dial function, when even typing the numbers you have to type it,fully without the phone giving suggestions. There is no means to go forwards when using internet explorer, and you cannot set personal ringtones unless you use a computer or an app that does that. It is so messed up and uncool. I just hope all these are corrected in the amber update, speaking of which we don't even know when it would be released.

Yosemite/SMS Relay - with a Windows phone?

Hi,
I currently have Yosemite on my iMac which is SMS relaying from an iPhone 6 Plus on my personal number.
My work phone is a Nokia Lumia (Windows). Is there a way I can either:
- set up multiple Apple ID's on the same user login so that I can use iMessages for both sending from my personal number and work number,
- just make do with switching from one user account to another, ie to different iMessages loads in different user accounts, but somehow getting my 07736 number working so that I can use it with relay (but I don't have the 07736 on an iOS device).
Annoyingly, my 07736 number has an old/bigger SIM card, so I can't temporarily put it in my iPhone 6 Plus so I can register it for SMS relay.
Hope this makes sense?
Thanks.

Hi,
At this time iMessages and the forwarding of SMS only works between iOS iPhones on at least iOS 8.1.1 and Macs running Yosemite.
This is set up when both the iPhone and the Mac are connected to the same Network (AND the iPhone has a carrier signal)
The SMS messages then come to the iPhone which forwards them to the Mac.
The Mac will play "catch-up" each time the iPhone comes back into range and is On.
It does not see the SMS messages at other times.
Ergo: it cannot be set up and then the SIM placed in a non iPhone as this will not be able to forward any new Messages.

Does nokia Lumia 630 support denim update

respected sir myself Amol I want to know that does Nokia Lumia 630 support denim update I am from India if not then when it will be available.
thank you.
best regards,
amol

Hello,
you can check here ([1]) which release is available for your device. For the Lumia 630 in India that is the Cyan release.
[2] reads "For all other Lumia Windows Phone 8 smartphones, the update will start rolling out during Q4 2014, following partner testing and approvals", so I think
it is only a matter of time when the update is deployed to the Lumia 630 in India.

While the Nokia site says the Lumia update is avai...

Hi all,
When you have read the thread on the update release, you have visited the update webpages but when you check in Zune it says you have the latest update installed please read the following.
The status indication on the Nokia website tells you whether the update is approved and made available for distribution through the Microsoft update path. When the update actually becomes available for your Lumia 710 or 800 you will receive a notification on the phone after which you can install the update using Zune.
Also please be aware the Zune update checker uses a cache which will allow you to actually check the status in Zune once in 24 hours. If you check again within this time you will receive the same result as before even if the update becomes available in the meantime. So to make sure you get the update as soon as it becomes available it is best to wait for the notification on the phone.
Propagation through the update servers for Zune may take a some time and is something Nokia has no control over so please have a little more patience when you see the status as 'Update Available' on the Nokia webpage and wait for the notification on your Lumia Windows Phone.
When the update becomes available for your phone it will come in three parts. Two updates for the WIndows Phone OS and the update for the Nokia Firmware. These will be applied sequentially but there can be some time between them being offered through Zune. Please make sure you do check for additional software when you have installed the first and/or second one.
'OK, but what about the promised update apps like Camera Extras?' you may ask.
Please go to the update apps webpage and read the notes which state;
*Camera Extras will be available from Marketplace during June and July 2012. To optimise performance of the Camera Extras application with the Nokia Lumia 610 certain features may be limited. Nokia City Lens will be available for Nokia Lumia 900, 800, and 710 during 2012.
Hope this helps,
Kosh

I am also a proud N9 owner but i have the more shy 16gb version. I bought mine from optimus although I have never done anything to unlock it from day 1 i stuck my vodafone micro-sim in and it worked perfectly (:
I have also been waiting since it was announced. This would be much easier if Nokia made the update available through the Nokia Suite or even on a support website.
We wait...

Migrating to a Lumia 925 from a C6-01

Hi all,
I currently have a Nokia C6-01 Belle phone and I've just bought myself a Lumia 925. As I expect the Lumia 925 to be delivered to my home in a couple of days, I have to make a plan on how to migrate my data from the C6-01 to the Lumia 925.
Contacts: I already synced the C6-01 to my Microsoft Live account. I managed to do that by setting up an EAS (Exchange Active Sync) email account on the C6-01. So, when I get my Lumia 925 and log into my Microsoft account, the contacts will be automatically synced.
Photos & Videos: no problem here, I'll just need to upload to my SkyDrive the media I want to see on the Lumia 925.
Nokia Maps favourite places, collections and routes are also covered: the Maps app on my C6-01 is always synced with HERE.com. All I'll have to do is sync the Lumia 925 Maps app.
Browser bookmarks: I use two browser on the C6-01: the native Belle Browser and Opera Mobile. On each of them I have a different set of bookmarks which I would like to transfer to Internet Explorer on the Lumia 925. I have no idea on how to do that.
Calendar entries and tasks (to-do): I don't know how to transfer them to the Lumia 925.
Notes: I have several notes I need to transfer to the Lumia 925.
SMS messages: I have a lot of them on my C6-01 I would like to transfer to the Lumia 925. I guess those messages are stored on the C6-01 internal memory, not on the SIM card.
I would appreciate any help you can give me on how to transfer my data from the C6-01 to the Lumia 925.
P.S.:
I'm now reading the Lumia 925 User Manual, which says on page 14 of the UK version:
"Copy contacts
Have your nearest and dearest instantly at your fingertips. Use the Transfer my Data app to easily copy your contacts and text messages from your old phone. Your old phone needs to support Bluetooth. The contacts on your old phone need to be stored in the
phone memory, not on the SIM."
If that's correct, it's possible to transfer SMS messages from the my old phone to the 925 via Bluetooth. What do you know about that?
Best regards,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Nokia Suite (v3.6.x and later) allows for an easy transfer of contacts, calendar and photos to your Nokia Lumia Windows Phone via SkyDrive.
Here's how this feature works;
Connect your Nokia S40, S60 or Nokia Belle phone to your PC using the USB cable.
After Nokia Suite is started and your phone shows as connected select Tools>Upload to SkyDrive and follow the on screen instructions. If you do not have one yet you will have to create a Microsoft account which has a SkyDrive attached to it. You can create such account here.
You will now have to reset your Nokia Lumia Windows Phone. Doing so will erase all content from the phone and return it to it's 'out of the box' state. Make sure you have synced any media files to your PC (Zune for WP7.x devices / copy them through explorer on WP8.x devices) or Mac(Connector). You can sync these back after the reset. When finished reset your Nokia Lumia Windows Phone using Settings>about>reset your phone.
Go through the Device First Use sequence and when asked enter your Microsoft Account used to save the content from Nokia Suite. When the setup has finished your will find your contacts, calendar and photos have all transferred to your Lumia. These will also be available through your Microsoft account through the web interface. The list of installed (paid) apps is also restored and the phone will start downloading these once the restore is complete. You can switch to WiFi for this if you have access.
It is important to note this transfer will only work to the Nokia Lumia at the Device First Use sequence (after a reset). If you have your Lumia setup it will not look for or sync the information copied to SkyDrive through Nokia Suite.
SMS message can not be transferred directly, but you can export all messages in Nokia Suite (Messaging>File/Export all text messages) and open the resulting Comma Separated File (.csv) in Excel or OpenOffice Calc to create an Excel sheet (.xls file) this can then be copied to your SkyDrive and opened from the Office app. You could also use a tool to create separate files from the exported .CSV file and copy all of these to SkyDrive.
I would begin with using Nokia Suite to transfer the data you can transfer this way tou the SkyDrive registered to your Microsoft account as you can do this now. When you receive the 925 make sure cellular data is enabled during the Device first use sequence and once you enter the Microsoft account login and password the data will sync to the phone from there.
Anthing else after that you might want to let us know so we can see what best way to do this.
