Nokia 820 problems

Just bought two Nokia 820s, one for my wife and one for myself. Awesome phones except for a couple of issues. First, the GPS and Nokia Here Maps. When I am at home the maps show me in the right spot but reports (showing the address) that I am 3 houses down the street. When I am at work, the phone shows my position correctly but reports that I am in the Elementary School across the street. Hmmmm. gMaps does not have this problem and seems to have more detailed maps about my city and roadways. So it is a Nokia software problem? I like the Here functionality better, but the accuracy and detail are missing compared to other map services so I have to keep more than one app on my phone, using precious space. Second, I would really like to be able to sync my phone calendar with my google calendar and tasks. Right now I have to use third party apps so I have more than one calendar app (I prefer to use the one on my phone with live tiles!!!!) and more than one task app, etc... and more than one travel app. Also it would be nice to separate the people I want in my phone book from the people I have on social accounts (I will NEVER be calling most of the people on my facebook account, but there are people I call on a regular basis and I hate scrolling through or having to search a gajillion people to find who or what business I am looking for) and still have them listed, just seperately.
Thanks for listening and I sincerely hope these issues can be addressed.

Were you running gMaps on the same phone? If so then that would suggest the innacuracy in probably in the mapping data. This being the case, you should report the error to the map data provider using the link below.

With regards to synching with google, this service was stopped by google .

Nokia 820/ problem with apps

a lot of the apps I have downloaded appear glitchy. Words with friends app freezes up the phone will ultimately shut down on its own. I'm constantly having to go out of a game and come back in. The chat function only on certain people will take completely out of the game as well. Same with draw something that I downloaded for my children. Facebook app for windows8 phones also weird. If I'm scrolling thru pix then go back to view comments on a previously viewed picture the comments are for a completely different picture. Glitchy

If the applications are not working as per your requirements then you need to contact the developers ... Many applications are yet to be made compatible with WP8 ..they may be still not updated from the earlier compatibility with WP7.5 and hence the problem ...

Nokia 820 Signal \ Reception Problem

Just taken delivery of a Nokia 820. As a die hard iPhone user, I pleasantly surprised myself by just how good Windows OS is and the build quality of the handset.
But I'm going to return it.
Signal is dreadful compared to other phones (tested in the same place) and my battery is destroyed by it constantly looking for signal or switching between H, H+ and on a special occasion - 3G!
I notice a lot of people have the same problem with the 820 and 920. Is there a fix or is the hardware faulty? I've tried all the solutions listed in this forum and elsewhere. Annoyed that reviewers said nothing about this.
My phone is SIM free and on the EE network in the UK.

Same on my 1020. Sim card I use frm my 808PV, there simcard works fine. Operator said that 3G is working fine and problem is the phone... But I found many similar complaints from all WP phones not only Nokia make. Problems should be addressed to MS... Hope Nokia will help it's loyal users to deal with MS

Some devices may need to have their software reset in order to see the latest benefits, or to resolve other potential problems. - Ensure you have the latest version of Nokia PC Suite. - Backup your device memory to your PC using Nokia PC Suite - Copy your files (music, videos, documents, images etc) from the Nokia N91 hard drive to your PC (use of USB mass storage recommended). - Copy any original SISX, Java, etc. installation files for your applications, themes, etc. from your Nokia N91 hard drive or memory card to your PC. (Do not simply copy over the installed directories/files.) - If your device has an internal hard drive, format your Nokia device’s hard drive by selecting Tools > Hard drive > Options > Format hard drive > Quick format (instructions are also in user the guide). - After the device has completely started up again, reset your device memory by selecting Menu > Tools > Settings > Phone > General > Orig. Phone Settings and entering 12345. - Restore your device memory from your PC using Nokia PC Suite by selecting Backup from the PC Suite menu and then selecting Restore. - Copy any hard drive or memory card contents from your memory card or PC back to your clean hard drive or memory card. - Re-install your applications/themes.

Query on Nokia 820 Camera/Flash

Hi
I have a Nokia 820 - it is a great phone and I love it. I have had it for the last 6 months but I noticed a couple of things lately.
When I use the camera and take a picture, sometimes the screen blacks out and you cannot take another picture without turning the phone off totally and then restart it.
Separately, I have installed a Flashlight app, and when I turn it on, it wont turn off. So, the camera flash is freezing.
Has anyone experienced this issue or can give me any ideas on how to resolve it - I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Remove the app so and see if all is ok.Id also suggest removing unwanted images from gallery if you have many there.

Nokia 6260 : Problem: Start-up Failed. Contatct Re...

Nokia 6260 : Problem Message :
"Start-up Failed. Contatct Retailer"
If Nokia Care fix this problem then can the data be retrieved completely from phone book, wallet etc...?
Please share your experience....

Unfortunately there is no way you will be able to get the information from your phone saved. In order to have that done the phone must be in working order.
The phone might however still be repairable and if Nokia cannot fix it for you then perhaps you can try a general cellular repair shop. If the problem is hardware related they might be able to fix it with out you losing your data stored on the phone. If they have to reload the firmware then you will loose everything on the phone unfortunately.
Knowledge should be your Advisor when you need help.

Nokia 820 SD Card problems...

Hi there,
Just to say I appear to be having some kind of odd compatability issue with the SD card functionality on the Nokia. I've got a 16GB Sandisk (not sure the rating) which works fine on syncing through Windows 7 Bootcamp and the Windows Phone App Beta and through folder drag/drop, but on replacing it with a 32GB Samsung Micro SD JC (6?) had all sorts of issues. Drag/dropping my music back into it via windows eventually hit on some sort of lock-up, it would only sync 0kb files via the app and on OSx Mountain Lion the Windows Phone 8 app would find the phone and crash.
Any ideas? Is this a known issue? I'd like the spare space!

I would try to reformat the sd card from Samsung on your pc.
do a long format. this will take longer but be more thourough. then put it into your nokia and is should add folders that are necessary for the device.
if that doesn't work on the Samsung card, yet it works on the sandisk one, it is proly the card.

Nokia 6210 Problems with using Edge (Internet Conn...

I have a Nokia 6210 phone bought from an authorized Nokia Care Center in Delhi, India two weeks ago. The software version on the phone is 3.08 dated 11-June 2008. It also mentions custom version as 03.08.c00.01
I am an Airtel Prepaid customer in New Delhi, India and had been using Mobile Office service on my prepaid number for some time. It worked perfectly fine for my Nokia 6233. On my current Nokia 6210 the Internet connection works fine for the first time through the built in browser or though any other application (like Google Maps, Gmail etc) which required internet and displays the sign signifying that the edge connection is active.
The problem is that once I close the application the standby sign for Edge network is displayed as follows and no matter what I am unable to use the internet connection on the phone again until I do the following
Restart the phone (which definitely isn’t a good option)
Wait for around 8-10 minutes after which the Edge on hold sign disappears and is replaced by which means that the edge is available
I found this out accidentally, but if I press the keys *123# which I typically use for enquiring balance, the on hold sign goes away and is replaced by the Edge available sign. after which things work fine.
Not sure where the problem is. I really doubt it’s got to do something with Airtel as the same number worked perfectly fine with my previous Nokia phone in the same area. In addition my wife’s phone (again an Airtel prepaid number) is working great in the same area. So either this has got to do something with the handset or the compatibility of the handset with the Airtel, New Delhi.
I have tried various sets of setting from the following sources
The wizard in built in the handset
Getting the settings from the Nokia site
Getttng the settings from Airtel Customer Care
But with all of them I am facing the same set of problems.
Wanted to check if anybody out you have ever faced a similar problem with this phone or one in a simlar series?

I suggest that you don't make permanent coupling between devices. Looks like Nokia modem is more responsive when you need to manually accept every connection at the phone's end.

Nokia sync problems. E7.

I received the notification concerning the joining of Ovi sync with Nokia mail contacts so I signed up & tried synching my phone contacts with my Nokia email account, the problem is whenever I sync the contacts using the phone they don't update, all that happens is that the contacts are redownloaded on the phone & the original contacts on the phone are deleted (as they end up in the deleted contacts folder online) It seems you cannot change details nor add photos to contacts with the new Nokia sync/Nokia contacts as they are just returned to the original state when synched or, in the case of updated contacts, I get two entries, the original & the updated version or the entry is returned to the original version & isn't updated. I've had to forgo the ovi/nokia sync on the phone & use Nokia suite to backup my contacts. I prefered the old sync which worked fine.
Solved!

hi, I wanted to know if you have successfully fixed the problem. i think i am getting the same problem. yesterday i got p problem with my E7-00 and had to hard reset if. I lost all my data, i have send my contact from nokia suite to my phone and since it was an old back i had to delete some contacts from it from the phone. However my problem is that every time the "Nokia Sync" in restoring the deleted contacts. is there any way the set the actual phonebook on the phone to the back of the "Nokia Sync"
thanks
No I still have major problems syncing, the first sync is fine but further syncs just mess everything up; I lose any photo I've assigned to a contact I also find any changes I've made to a contact are not being updated on Nokia sync as I get the original back on the phone which makes it useless. It also doesn't handle symbols like '&' very well & I have to write 'and' instead otherwise anything before the & is missing.
I do have a theory though, as Nokia sync is now connected to Yahoo's address book (as Nokia mail is provided by Yahoo now) I suspect that that platform isn't designed to work the way Ovi sync did but to just be used to download the contact list to the phone & to make changes you have to visit Nokia mail, Yahoo's help refers to this being the case with a different phone manufacturer so I can easily see this being the problem with my E7 & other phones. I've contacted support again to try & get any update on this & even offered to show screenshots of the problem but had no reply. I have heard (I'm sure on this forum) that Nokia have dropped Nokia sync though.

Nokia Maps & problem with '#' button

It looks like my '#' button changed its working in the Nokia Maps application. The pressing causes unpress and vice versa. So, when I release the button, it keeps zooming out until I press it again. Strange, because it works incorrectly only in this application.
Maybe someone clever could give me a hint to solve my problem?
I can observe it in the newest version of Nokia Maps and hard reset doesn't solve my problem.
Please for some clues.

Is it just a problem in the maps application? It sounds rather odd... the button may be sticking, so I'd recommend getting it to your nearest Nokia Service Centre as soon as possible
