Nokia 822 dead

I need to know what I can do about my phone dying for no reason. Yesterday I was listening to music in my car and suddenly the phone froze then shut down. It would not turn on with a soft start, battery removal, or hard start. All that would happen is it would buzz then show the Microsoft cube. Once that shows it shuts off again. I then went to a Verizon store for support. I explained the situation and I kept being asked repeatedly if I dropped it on the floor or in water. I started to get annoyed having to keep answering that question, since I had not. The worker Ted had no idea, he called Tech support and they seem to have no idea what is wrong with the phone. So what happens next...
My phone is one week past warranty and I do not have insurance, so Ted handed me my phone and said we don't know what's wrong with it.
Yep that was it, he actually believed that was an acceptable end of customer service. That is unacceptable. I have been with Verizon for a little short of TEN YEARS, I expect better customer service and at very least some type of solution to this phone problem. I understand that I don't have insurance but after doing a little research I find that the phone shutting off an freezing has been a problem with this phone. I am trying to understand how am I now responsible for a product that was defective from the beginning? If I bought a car and two years later the company discovers a defect, they send me a letter to have it checked out, and not at my expense.
One of the other workers even asked Ted if there was anything they could do since it had only been a week since my warranty was up, Ted ignored him. Not a good moment. The bad customer service continues on but I could be typing all day.
I would really like a response back, maybe there is a fix or solution to this problem. The experience I had yesterday made me tell the workers there that once my contract is up, I will be leaving Verizon.

I'm sorry about your customer service experience MsgtP. You're right, you should be presented with options for your issue. Although, we are unable to replace the phone out of warranty we have other options. Since you performed all the steps for trouble-shooting that we would perform, the next best step is to replace the device. Since you're not eligible to upgrade or have insurance and you're not eligible to upgrade you can purchase a device with this program http://vz.to/16vfYHl . You can also buy a phone at full retail price. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns and thanks for being a long time customer.

Loss of emails on Nokia 822 when I open outlook on...

Hi Everyone, I know this is likely a real simple fix, but I cannot find the answer after a long search. My phone is the new Nokia 822 with the windows 8 o/s
I have a pop 3 account linked to my phone as well as my computer running outlook 2007. My computer is off all day, and my phone is on. I can receive e-mail on the phone durring the day, but in the evening, as soon as I open outlook, the mail will be removed from the phone. I really need to have my e-mails available all the time on both systems.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
David

You're either deleting mail on the computer which will also delete it from the server and this from the phone or you have outlook set up to remove mail from the server when it has fetched the mail.

Nokia Suite and Nokia 822 Compatibility

Will Nokia Suite support the Nokia 822 phone?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No, it will not, and will not in the future. Nokia Suite is only for the Nokia phones that are not Windows Phone handsets.
There is a Windows Phone app in Windows 8 in the Store, and available for download for Windows 7 also. The Zune software is for older WP 7.5 devices and not WP8 devices.

Nokia 822 Calendar / E-mail Linking

Can someone tell me how I link the Nokia 822's Calendar to an e-mail account I have on my phone, and my WIN 7 PC? I want to be able to update the Calendar on the phone or PC and have them synch.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

if you are using outlook on your win7 pc, and you have your live account on your device, go to:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=24677
this will download and install a Hotmail/Outlook sync connector. it will allow you to sync your mobile devices with your outlook as if it was an exchange account. this would include your email, calendar and contacts.
before you do this, you will of course have to have a live/Hotmail/outlook.com email account.
after installation on your pc, you will be asked for the Hotmail account login info.
then it should auto-link to your device.
this of course only works for live/Hotmail/outlook.com email addresses, but that doesn't mean you have to use that email on your phone. just use it to sync your contacts and calendar and use that as the default on your device.
hope that helps.

Nokia 822 receving group text from an I phone?

Everyone in my office has an iphone including my boss. When he sends out a group text I do not recive it because I have a Nokia 822 Windows phone. Im affraid he is going to make me switch to an iPhone if i do not resolve the issue. I have already stopped into the Verizon branch where i bought it and they suggest that i make sure he has I messenging turned off. Still Dosnt work. Stopped back in the branch and they informed me that It cannot be done. Does anyone have a Answer to this. Is this True am i going to have to suffer with an Iphone because my boss has one?

What is he using to send group text? If it is a standard group text, you should be able to receive the message. If he is using iMessage, obviously you won't receive it and there is no work around for that.

Nokia C7 Dead after turn off, never turn on

Help me with this problem. I've bring the phone to shop and they sent to nokia care but after i got home. the problem arise again. Now i've been disconnect about 2 days.
The phone would not turn on anymore.

I have bring the phone to shop as I faced same problem (Nokia C7 Dead after turn off, never turn on) and they sent device to nokia care center. I got the new cell phone as it was in guarantee/warantee period(I am appriciating the service/help provided from Nokia side, Thanks a lot). On the same day I took that new cell to home and faced same problem again. The phone is not getting switched ON . I am disconnected from world for last 2-3 weeks as the same issue occurs twice. This is very opposite to Nokia's statement "Connecting people". Any help From Nokia?????
I'll provide the device details if Nokia going to help.
Thanks in advance for support !

Which account should I use to set up Nokia 822 and...

Thank you in advance for your help.
I recently bought the Lumia 822 and set it up under my personal outlook.com account. I also have two Microsoft 365 Exchange accounts which I synchronized to the phone, in addition to a few gmail accounts used for different purposes.
I had no problem importing contacts using the Nokia data transfer from my iPhone 4, but had trouble with importing and continuing to syncrhonize the calendar. With the iPhone, my calendar and contacts were continuously syncrhonized with Outlook 2010 on my PC via iCloud and I could add appointments either place. With the Lumia, my calendar is not being syncrhonized on my macbook (using Office for Mac 2011) or iCal. I'm wondering if the problem there is that outlook.com accounts can only be added to the Mac as pop3 accounts, rather than exchange. Because of the inability to sync those accounts with my mac or iPad, I'm thinking I should reset my phone and use my business account as my Nokia/Microsoft account, since it is an exchange account through Microsoft 365. Do you think that would work? I didn't want to do that originally because my 365 account is a yearly license and expensive and I might choose not to renew one year and then be faced with losing everything I've put on my phone. Any ideas how I should set up my phone so that it syncs with all devices the way the iPhone did? I had an iphone weekly calendar app which allowed me to add appointments as work, home, for my son, etc. Very helpful. I'd like to be able to keep the same categories.
Another problem - all of my contacts are listed under People on the phone, but most of them are not accessible in my car. How can voice dial not access all my contacts? Or do you think that is a car issue and I should try to import my contacts again?
Finally, any idea where I can buy a second battery? The battery life is very poor (might because I have so many email accounts, but most of them are set to either check manually or every two hours), despite my having read and followed the suggestions in this forum.
FYI, there are so many things I love about the phone - spellcheck almost as good as the BlackBerry, a screen I can see easily, the ablity to use it with gloves on, the microsd card (still, I wish it came as a 32gb phone), the replaceable battery.
Thanks again for your help. I'm thinking I set my phone up wrong and that I should start with scratch using one of my other accounts. Ideally, I'd like to keep it under my outlook.com account, but not if I can't synchronize the calendar, etc.

When it rejects your email is it telling you that a snapfish account may exist? If so you may have to go to snapfish.com, and do a forgot password with that email. After that try logging in to eprintcenter with that information.

Nokia N8 - Dead Pixel On Screen

Hi all. Last week I noticed that I might have 1 dead pixel on my screen. its a little black dot that stays at about 10-o'clock position on the screen.
I tried to ignore it, but I just cant because everytime I swipe pictures left and right, the black dot stick out, and my eye is staring at the dot instead of my pictures.
I had to sent my N8 back for a new replacement. It's a shame because I am really happy with the phone aside from that stupid dead pixel.
I just hope that my new replacement won't have any new problems or another dead pixels! I am worried that Nokia quality is dwindling...
So guys please check your screen throughly for dead pixel. Let me know of your findings. I really hope that I am the only one affected..

For sure it is sad that you had a black pixel.
But you will not be allone, And that is normal.
Think about numbers: you have thousands of pixels (around 200K for each color), Nokia is selling (hopefully) millions of N8. It is just question of probability that some persons will get dead pixels. Nobody, and this include the best quality checks possible, will be able to ensure 100% error free devices. And if it would be possible, you might not be able to pay it.
There will be always some devices with problems, For them it is important to have a good and quick support and replacement policy. And Nokia, as I know the company, is handling this quite good.
N8-00 with orange case, loving it

Nokia 822 ERROR: Unable to find bootable option.

My 822 now says, "ERROR: Unable to find bootable option. Press any key to shut down."
This occurred earlier today immediately upon installing a Verizon update. The phone worked perfectly before the update.
What is going on? I certainly am not going to accept responsibility for this failure, or replacing this phone.
Before you ask, the phone is in perfect condition otherwise. Never dropped. Never seen even a drop of water (or any other liquid).
One thing peculiar I did notice was that the update took over an hour to download, which seems like quite a long time considering data transfer rates.
So, what can be done?
To recap:
1) My phone worked perfectly. It was in perfect condition.
2) An update was installed (which Verizon recommended (and I'd go as far as to say forced))
3) Now the phone is completely inoperable, only giving the error message listed above.
Help please?

Hi Joel, the sim card has been removed and reinstalled multiple times with no effect. And yes, only the the original Verizon software was on the device. To be clear, the phone was attempting to install a Verizon-forced update when it died. I would rather have not had the update because the phone was working perfectly, but Verizon does not give the option to decline updates, only delay them. It should be noted that with the help of Verizon associate (Lovesa) the Nokia Software Recovery Tool was attempted, but even that did nothing.
I have now done at least 8 hours of research on this and it is obvious this is a widespread and known issue with the 822. There appears to be absolutely nothing that can be done to revive the phone at this point. After viewing literally hundreds of posts on the "unable to find bootable option" error no one has found a fix. This issue is well documented.
Why Verizon would force an update that ruins users phones is beyond me. And to take no responsibility is, in my view (and most likely the law's view), criminal. To be completely honest and forthright, I am so upset about this situation Verizon is now losing a 15 year loyal customer.

Nokia E52 dead after software update using Nokia S...

I bought my Nokia E52 the day before yesterday. It is an early model (arrived at the store i September). But it worked fine, except for the bluetooth connection.
I tried to update the software using Nokia Software Updater via the USB cable. But it lost connection (I didn't touch the cable nor the phone at the time, and the computer was workning fine). After that I tried it again a couple of time, but it lost connection. It seems the USB-micro connecter on the phone is defective.
Finally its seemed to worked, but after a long period of time it lost connection again and this time the phone was dead. The computer couldn't find it when I connected the USB cable and the screen was dead, nothing happend when I push the powerbutton, except it vibrated once as normal after that nothing happend.
The screen was dead, the numberpad was not lighted. I removed the battery and waited a couple of minutes and tried again. Nothing happend. I tried to reset the phone by using buttons '3', '*', 'anwesring-bottun' and powerbutton. Nothing happend.
Obvious the software update were unsuccesful but is my phone beyond repair? Is the warrenty/guarantee still valid?

Your phone will be repaired in a nokia care point. Usually they fix this problem whenever it occurs during a software update. If that key combination didn't help in your case, then it's definitely a point to go to a care point. I think it is covered by warantee but I'd advise you to call the service point just in case to check with them.

Nokia 301 dead after software update

I just updated my Nokia 301 from its software version 2.something to the latest (8.03 I believe). After the update process the phone is dead. It won't start up, nothing.
Is there anything I can do?

Beck_DK:
we are investigating your report about Mail for Exchange.
pbomta:
Nokia 301 does not support SW updates via Nokia Suite (like all the more recent phones), so that would be the expected result.

Nokia E5 Dead while updating

Its not even 24 hours since I bought the Nokia E5 and its DEAD.
I connected the phone to OVI for transferring my previous phone data. When i connected it showed me updates for my phone and I started updating, I followed all the instructions and the phone went blank. I tried all the troubleshooting from the support forums but the phone does not start.
All it does is, give a small vibration when i click the power on key.
I would really appreciate if the Nokia support help me in this regard.
Best regards

Have you installed a Facebook app of some kind? I suppose you must have. I don't know the programming API for Contacts, but it seems this app wedged itself in there. I would hope that app has a setting to enable or disable this feature, otherwise you're left with choosing Yes (which may be more benign than you think), complaining to the author, or removing the Facebook app. Post the name of the program you're using and hopefully somebody will give you a complete answer.
