Maps on the SD card for Lumia 820

I've just ordered an 820, and now I see that apparently it's not possible to install maps to the SD card - is this true? So when what's left of the 8Gb is full with maps of Europe and apps and games, I have to uninstall something, even if I have 32Gb of empty space plugged into the phone? Please tell me you're going to fix this... I'm upgrading from a 5230 that was already an old design when I bought it, and I could store maps wherever I wanted. I know that microSD support has only just come to Windows Phone so I don't expect perfection right out of the box, but please consider fixing this, for me it's a major bug. If it's not going to happen I guess I should cancel the order and buy the HTC 8X, doesn't cost much more than the 820 and has double the storage, and now you released Drive+ for all Windows Phones...

You are correct about not being able to install map data on the sd card. I travel overseas regularly and havent seen the need to download more than just the maps I need for the next few months and remove them when not required. This is because the data is updated a couple of times a year anyway, so even if I already have the data downloaded a few months previous, I'll probably need to redownload it again to get the latest updates just before I travel.
However, if you should want to download all the map data anyway, then the 820 is not for you and there is always the Lumia 920 with 32gb storage.

    As apps can only be installed from one source, which is the store, if its not free in there then its not possible to get it for free.
    Skype is designed to be always on, you can go offline rather than signing out.
    At the moment there isn't an option to automatically turn on Bluetooth, it may be added in a future update by Microsoft.

        Hi there Eartley! That sounds like an amazing opportunity for you! I am glad you are going to be able to study in Italy. The iPhone 6 is an excellent phone to travel with and you should have no problems using a local SIM card while you are in Italy. While I have not been to Italy myself and can not make recommendations for service providers out there, our Global Support Team may be able to help out! Here is where you can get in touch with them http://vz.to/1DgQ1IJ . Have a great trip!

  • I have registered a credit card for purchasing apps from the app store. My bank has issued a new chip based card and now the 16 digit numbers have changed. How do I register the new card for flowless purchases?

    I have registered a credit card for purchasing apps from the app store. My bank has issued a new chip based card and now the 16 digit numbers have changed. How do I register the new card for flowless purchases?

    Go to Apple Menu > App Store > View my account > sign in and then edit the payment details with the new card details.  
    I am assuming that your card and supporting bank are in the same country as your residential (billing) address and that you are using the App Store of that country.

  • Maps disappeared from settings in my lumia 820

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

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

  • 4G support for Lumia 820

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

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