My Lumia 900 rattles when it vibrates. Can it be ...

I have already exchanged my white Lumia 900 multiple times for other more serious issues that the rattle, and do not want to exchange it anymore. (There is no full backup for the Lumia 900 and reloading all the apps, app data, and settings is getting really old...)
My second Lumia 900 didn't have any rattle but unfortunately had to be returned for another problem.
It is possible to send my current handset in to get the rattle repaired?

You'll likely need to contact the store you purchased the phone from in Hong Kong. We're all just users here and none of us would know......

IPhone Rattles When Internal Vibrate Mechanism Is Activated

I noticed about a month ago that my iPhone started rattling when the internal vibrate mechanism is activated. Also, when I shake the iPhone, I can hear the internal vibrate mechanism move around. Has anybody else had this problem?
Thanks.

Sorry, not sure... I've just read about it, never experienced it. Perhaps someone else can chime in that has experienced it. I'm sure you'll find more info with a Google search.

Lumia 900 - Updated to 7.8 - can't change icon siz...

After updating my Lumia 900 phone to 7.8, I don't see the second icon in the lower right to change the size of the icons? Am I missing a setting or something? I click and hold down an icon, but I only see the unpin icon in the top right.
Thanks in advance.

Your Nokia Lumia 900 was updated to 7.5 CR3 (Tango). The 7.8 update has not yet been released. It is still under development and destined for release later this year.
You can check your version number under Settings > About.
Hope this helps.

IPhone rattles when on vibrate

love the new iPhone 3G, but whenever I put the phone on vibrate I get this horrible rattling sound. I doubt a restore will fix it. It only seems to happen when the phone is up vertically, laying it down it's fine.
Any ideas on what to do? I can't take it back yet as the UK is practically out of stock.

Yea. Mine does too. This is the 3rd time I've gotten a deffective iPhone. I'm afraid to go back to the store and tell them this one's broken too. And they all have been something differen't which is so wierd. I'm gonna call applecare and see what they can do

How to view photos in a text message on Lumia 900

I just got the Lumia 900 and when I am sent a pic through text messaging it says "Get media content now". I click that and after a moment, it vibrates and makes a sound but nothing else happens and the picture is not in my album. Can someone tell me what is wrong at all?

Have you enabled data as pictures won't download without a data connection. If you have enabled data then it's to do with your settings for MMS for which any number of things could be causing a problem either the phone or your net work provider, try searching MMS settings. You could try running the famous "Network set up" app.

Lumia 900 specs?

For the 22 years I've owned a cell phone I've NEVER owned a non-Nokia phone and I don't really want to look else where for my next phone, but I want/need some of the conveinences/features contained in my current Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone.
I have been waiting for the Lumia 900 to be released since it was announced and just yesterday I read the specs for it. However, I still have some questions about the 900:
What Bluetooth profiles does it ship with?
Will it sync with Zune via Bluetooth?
Does the Zune software, or some other software, allow SMS messaging through the phone from a PC?
Is the Zune software as comprehensive, or more so, as the Nokia Suite software I use with my Symbian based 5800?
The specs indicate the phone has two microphones ... why?
The specs list the model number of the battery. And, that the phone has unibody construction. Is the battery user replaceable?
Will the 900 be upgradable to Windows Phone 8, when its released, or will the 900 be stuck/orphaned with 7.5?
There was no mention of TV out connectivity. Was that an omission fromt the specs ... or, does it really not have it?
Thanks,
Rick

luxsphinx thanks for your reply.
I also am in the US and I travel a lot and the TV out feature is great in that I can connect my Nokia 5800 to my PC via USB, see the phone, and it's memory card, as additional hard disks (which is not available on the Lumia 900), copy a couple of movies to the MicroSD card (which is definitely not available on the Lumia 900), get to the hotel at my destination, plug in the TV out cable which was supplied with the phone and watch a movie of my choice on the big screen in 16:9 Hi-Res.
As for the ability to send SMS while connected to the PC ... I get/send a lot of text messages and if I'm at my desk PC, or on the road on my laptop, I just plug the phone into the computer, open Nokia Suite software, sync the messages and any new messages that come are displayed in a popup window in the lower right hand corner of the screen. I can click on the popup window, the message opens up and I can read and reply on the full sized screen and via the full sized keyboard, click send and I'm back to work again without having to touch the phone ... or, it's tiny keyboard. Since all SMS messages are received and sent via the phone (albeit through a USB cable, or via Bluetooth). (Bluetooth data transfer is also not available on the Lumia 900). When I unplug and leave my desk, all the message history goes with me, unlike when through an IM client (which, while also convenient when at the desk, leaves the message history at the desk as I think a PC client would use a phone number that is different than the number of the cell phone).
Additionally, the Nokia Suite software allows viewing, editing and synchronizing contacts DIRECTLY with Outlook (no cloud involved), viewing and synchronizing pictures, backing up the phone's settings and software, browsing the app store, updating firmware and apps, playing/purchasing music, and downloading and updating maps. The Nokia Suite software allows for some real conveniences. The "new" system for the Lumia 900 has NO WAY to back up the phone's settings at all ... that I've been able to determine anyway. Files get backed up to "the cloud" eating up the data plan, or maybe through a data cable to Zune. I don't know yet about firmware updates or map updates via a data cable, or if they have to eat up the data plan also. Since I don't have a Windows Phone yet, I can't see what Zune is capable of.
As far as I can find out the Zune software allows an interface for manipulating and synchronizing media (music, video and pictures) and that's about all. There doesn't appear to be a way to copy anything to the Lumia 900's memory directly through a computer's file management program. (Windows Explorer), and that's ridiculous!
I know I'm just used to my 3 year old Nokia 5800, but the lack of features in the Lumia 900, that I've grown accustomed to in my 5800, are NUMEROUS! I'm having a difficult time seeing this as "progress".
I know what you're saying regarding the battery issue. My 5800 has a replaceable battery. And, on occasion I have to insert my "standby" battery to keep going for the rest of the day till I can get to a charger. I'm now faced with looking at charging EVERY chance I get ... and/or buying one of the external battery packs as a backup power supply till I can get to a charger. That is "if" I get a Lumia 900. This just really sucks that I feel like I'm having to "settle" for so much less than what Nokia has made me accustomed to, in order to have their "new - top of the line - flagship?" cell phone!!!
I think you're mistaken about AT&T's "inability" to issue updates. AT&T is the world's largest communications company. They are definitely "able" to issue an update. What it really comes down to is ... they are unwilling, for whatever reason, to issue updates in a timely manner, if at all! There was a rumor/discussion about Nokia forcing the service providers to issue "at least every other" firmware update produced by the manufacturer. But, it now sounds like AT&T has won out and they don't "have to" issue any updates, if they don't want to. I can't imagine that could be good for Nokia, as improvements ... and stability fixes ... are now up to AT&T. So, the end user experience will suffer and Nokia's brand will be tarnished, when in fact, the fault lies with the service provider AT&T. **bleep**!
ANY new top of the line Nokia, or any other manufacturer's, "smartphone" should be able to transfer files/data/tether via Bluetooth. I'm neither a software, nor a hardware, engineer ... but, how difficult can it be to add a Bluetooth profile ... or two?
A top of the line Nokia "smartphone" should be able to connect to a PC with Nokia Suite (via both Bluetooth and data cable) for synchronization, image and SMS backup, data transfer AND for SMS messaging via the PC's full size keyboard. In these respects I was hoping the Lumia 900 would be at least as advanced as my 3 year old Nokia 5800, but it's NOT! Also, a camera that is at least as good as the iPhone camera should be a given. From some images I've seen posted in other forums, I'm not so sure that the Lumia 900's camera is as good ... in lower lux environs. It seems to do a good job when there's a lot of light around though.
The Lumia 900 certainly is nice to look at, and it feels nice to hold, ... but, it is lacking some very BASIC features, at least to me.
I also think there should be some definitive information issued by either Microsoft, and/or Nokia, regarding the availability of an upgrade path to the new Windows Phone 8 OS that is due out in just a few months. Should we really be expected to buy a phone that will have an orphaned OS in a matter of months?
Since my first cell phone, 20 years ago!, I've NEVER owned a non-Nokia phone. I don't want an iPhone. I don't want an Android phone. I want another Nokia phone! I've been waiting for the Lumia 900 for months. But, I'm sorely disappointed that the Lumia 900 has been short changed in its feature set.
I don't know whether the fault lies with the Microsoft's Windows Phone 7.5 OS, or with Nokia's hardware, or both. But, these issues MUST be fixed, or Microsoft AND Nokia will lose/not gain the market share they both are vying for.
In the current cell phone market, it would seem to me, that for OS and hardware makers, it's all about differentiating yourself from your competitors. Microsoft's Windows Phone OS is competing with both Apple's iOS and Google's Android, neither of which are light-weights. Nokia is competing with a plethora of fine hardware manufacturers. Even though Nokia is the largest cell phone manufacturer in the world, they only have a fraction of the smartphone market. Unfortunately, I don't currently see the crippled Microsoft WP/Lumia lineup changing that. Maybe Microsoft and Nokia are OK with that ... after all, iOS is laden with limitations for it's users, and purchasers flock to it because of the fine hardware, almost bullet proof iOS ... and all the apps. Android, while offering more flexibility than iOS and WP offer, is making a move toward less flexibility (like the others have already done) to reduce/eliminate fragmentation of the OS. Perhaps that is the end goal for MS and Nokia ... cripple the OS, limit the user and limit the hardware's functionality, but ... make it beautiful, and hope that we will flock to it.
Sorry, I know this a probably a lot more than you ever wanted to know, but I suppose I just had to vent all the frustrations that have been building up since I've been looking into the specs for the my much anticipated Lumia 900.
All I know is ... I'm sorely disappointed ... and, for the first time ever, ... I'm re-evaluating whether, or not, to buy another Nokia phone. How sad!

Lumia 900 Vibrate rattle ?

A lot of Lumia 900 owners are reporting a rattle during vibration alerts. Can anyone comfirm this ?

I received my Lumia 900 on 4/6/12 and love it... minus the rattle issue which is fast becoming a real dealbreaker for me with the device.
@WPCentral replied to me tonight saying that althought they mentioned it in there review as well, very few people have commented on the topic, which means there might be hope that we are a small few that just need to head into the store and replace these units and it's fixed.
I enabled the Nokia Diagnostic Tool using the ##634# command tonight and there is a "Vibra" tool that runs the motor steadily so you can hear the rattle till your hearts content. I plan on using that to show the AT&T staff my problem because it doesn't happen ALL the time. It seems to be when it's sitting on a flat surface or when it's not being held using the "approved grip" similar to the iphone antenna-gate issue (had to get that dig in there).
Regardless of how much I LOVE the phone in general (and I do), I can't have this phone at work creating a scene in silent mode... it's anything BUT silent.

Download Zune and start it, when started connect your Lumia 900 and you can now transfer mediafiles from the Lumia to your PC through a USB connection. For Mac use the Mac connector.

When will be Lumia 900 available in India?

Unfortunately not, all you can do is wait and keep checking with retailers or news sites.
Anything posted here would be pure speculation that you can find on news sites and cannot be confirmed as being true.
Given the fact that delays have been caused in other countries due to it's popularity in the US it's likely that Nokia has had to rethink release dates for many countries.

Lumia 900: How can I stop a running application?

When keeping the [←] key pressed, Lumia 900 shows a list of running applications.
How can I stop/quit applications listed here?
Your answer is appreciated.

Hi,
There is no "true multitasking" present in WP8. Apps go into freeze state once you press the back/start button.
However, if an application supports background agent functionality, that can be used to let certain features of an application to run in the background, like streaming music.
Go to setting-> Background tasks. Here you will see a list of apps that you have granted access to run a thread in the background. WP8 allows only 15 such apps at a time to conserve battery.
You can allow/block an application from running in background from here.
Best Regards,
Ayushmaan

You should turn off "Auto input monitoring". I only have L8 and there you find it under Options->audio->Auto Input monitoring. Would guess that its in the same place in L9

Anyone else notice this? My 3GS easily vibrates twice as hard when in my pocket, compared to the Iphone 4.

Since iOS 7.1 is current, and you say you have the current software on your iPhone, I wonder if you are running an old version of iTunes on your computer. Current is 11.1.5.

Can't sync my Macbook with my new Nokia Lumia 900.

I spent two hours with a couple of the tech folks at the AT&T store yesterday, trying to get my new Nokia Lumia 900 to sync to my Macbook... but with no luck. No matter what we did, I kept getting a message that the server was not secure, and so the calendar and address book wouldn't sync. Other things probably as well, though these two were my primary concerns. And, yes, we had downloaded the Windows Phone 7 Connector. It didn't seem to matter. Any suggestions, other than taking the phone back and getting another iPhone for a couple hundred more than I paid for the Lumia?

Take it back and buy an iPhone...

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.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KBDZrqVW-8
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.
