Nokia Drive questions on Lumia 800.

I bought a Lumia 800 over the weekend as my last phone was about to drive me around the twist. I've been very impressed with the Windows interface and the phone over all.
One of the reasons I went for the Lumia was the Nokia Drive app. I work in field sales and travel the length a breadth of this country so I need a reliable sat nav. Previously I've used CoPilot live on an Android which worked well for me.
This morning I did my first trip with the Nokia Drive app and it worked ok up until a point.
I received a call, no problems answered fine through bluetooth not an issue. HOWEVER when the call ended the Nokia Drive app did not resume/return to main screen. instead I got the lock screen with a very garbled background image.
Hoping the Nokia drive app was running in the background I kept driving but after a few turns it was planly clear that the app had closed. I therefore had to pull over to restart the app. Once I unlocked the screen the app did resume. I was just glad I was making a trip I was familiar with and testing the app functionality.
I take/make a lot of calls while travelling I need a nav app that I do not have to re-setup everytime I hang up a call. Can this be addressed in Nokia drive or can someone suggest an alternative app to use instead?

There already are same issues reported here

For this special promotion in India you might like to look at this previous post concerning this issue where OP received an invitation from Nokia with SMS code:http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nokia-Lumia/Free-play360-speaker-with-lumia-800/m-p/1571008/highligh...
If this promotion is run in similar fashion to that in UK, online registration could not be completed and it had to be actioned by contacting Nokia Care.

Nokia Drive+ Beta for Lumia 920 - WP8

Hi,
I have some questions regarding the use of Nokia Drive (sorry, I came back to WP after several years on Android so too used to using Google Maps).
My questions are:
1. Is there a way to route around what the 'default' route comes up with? For example, I do not want to drive through NYC and would rather drive around it using specific highways that I'm used to using. I know it's further, but it avoid GW Bridge which can be several hours in traffic if not timed properly.
2. Is there any website where I can plan/setup the various trips/routes and then just have it sync back to the phone (this is typically what I do with all my Google's map usage).
Thanks.

I "try" google maps offline on my Galaxy S 2 and Galaxy Nexus regularly when i am abroad, just as a backup to my N9 which I use as my main navigation device. First problem with google maps is the map data. You can only download a few tiles. The search function and routing dont work very well offline either. Of course there are better paid options but Nokia Maps isn't all that bad for a free solution. The avtual Nokia Maps package is better then the current experience with Maps on the Lumia devices. This is because WP is a new OS for Nokia and they had to start Maps from scratch for this OS and they are still.playing catchup. I was fortunate enough to have a chat with a member of the Lumia Maps team who promised me that the intention is for users to have the same nav experience as other Nokia devices. With the latest beta iteration, they are almost there. Hope they will be there with the final release.

I need an ANSWER from Nokia !!! (Lumia 800)

The situation is that I upgrade the firmware for lumia 800, in progress, the power outage,used all kinds of ways that lumia 800 also will not boot. Send to Nokia care is sure thatthe motherboard is damaged, replace with new ones 210USD (~ 4.300.000VND). I thinkthe firmware upgrade, how that damage the motherboard with a high end phone ofNOKIA, Lumia 800? I have used many phones of Nokia, and I realized that the device is very durable, I trust and love of Lumia with my 800, so I decided to buy it from overseasso I'm not allowable effects of NOKIA warranty.

You can just look up Adobe or AdobeFlashPlayer. Just make sure it's from official Adobe site. I'm pretty new at personal computing, too. So much to learn! Don't get too frustrated!

Nokia update following Tango (Lumia 800)

I have the new Tango OS (8773), however I haven't received the Nokia update so can't get any of the new apps...anyone know why this is, can anyone help?
Zune just keeps telling me I have the latest update :-(
Firmware is listed as 1750.0805.8773.12220 however I go to Marketplace and can't see the Camera App etc?

You can force the Tango update....I did :-)
Zune - Setting - update - when it says no update available click out and go back, click update again, wait 2 seconds and unplug ethernet (disconnect from network) timing is essential by the way and wait about 30 seconds, Zune will then say update available. Plug ethernet back in and update ;-)

A question about lumia 800

can i insert or remove sim card when the phone power on?

If the developers of the phone (operating system) wanted to, the device would not need to reboot at a SIM card change, but just reattach to the network with whatever SIM card is inserted.
FWIW, in the iPhone, one can pull out and reinsert the SIM card, and all that happens is what one would expect; removing the SIM card while the phone is on means that you can't use the phone network, and inserting/reinserting a SIM card while the phone is on just makes the phone reconnect. No reboots.

My Lumia 800 Experience - Issues/Questions/Suggest...

Ok.
Firstly, hi all. A few of you helped me when i had an X6, hope i get the same response now.
I have just gone from a Nokia N900 to a Lumia 800. It's a sleek, stylish phone, comfortable to use but the difference in touch sensitivity between the N900 and L800 is massive. I'll get used to it.
Firstly, a problem. It took me 3 and a half hours to get the contacts off my N900 and onto the L800. Why? The bluetooh transfer app would not work with either my N900 or the bluetooth on my Win7 laptop. Would pair, wouldn't transfer. I didn't have a LiveID so had to create one, then try to sync to Outlook, export contacts to Live via CSV file, then i could see the contacts on my phone. Wow. fuss and a half.
So. Data Transfer. Why when i have a Win7 PC and a Win7.5 phone, can i not simply drag and drop files to the L800, viewing it in Win7 Explorer as storage? Come on, that's basic. the older N900 can, why not this?
I believe my L800 is more of a MediaPhone/FriendPhone that a SmartPhone - but on that note, i cannot set an MP3 file as a ringtone or alert, unless it's under 1mb in size....really? On the same subject, i have downloaded 4 text alerts from the Free Ringtones app by Ashterisk to replace the text alerts and email alerts. They can only be found in the Ringtones setting as Custom tones....they can't be found under the New Text/IM or New Email settings....and annoyingly, a ringtone i downloaded from the same app cannot be found at all, although will play in the media player...have i done something wrong?
Themes...can they be auto-installed so you don't have to create your own tiles and then replace the standard ones on the homescreen?
Internet Explorer. I save cookies because i would like to log in to a site automatically if i have a site opened from a tile, however, if i open up IE from the standard tile, it goes to the last visited webpage, and it doesn't seem like you can set a homepage or about:blank in there. am i missing something?
the phone seems excellent, and very well put together with some neat touches, but it doesn't feel as fluid, as user-friendly as the N900....considering the N900 was a "computer" and a true SmartPhone opposed to the L800 being a MediaPhone/FriendPhone, the L800 feels like it's missing a few tricks, and it's harder to customise, both with sounds and images, and commonly used webpages etc than the N900 which seems silly seeing as i think it's aimed at a younger user than the N900.
Am i just complaining for the sake of it because it's a new phone i don't quite understand yet, or are these things that other users are thinking, like "ahhh why the heck can't i just do *that*?!"
any and all feedback appreciated,latest software in use, forum browsed through for info, although i've not spotted these issues anywhere else, i'm only human and may well have missed them.

Fuly understand what you're saying, but to me, some of the stuff mentioned should have been there from the start, basic things like the mass storage connectivity would have made things so much easier, plus using full mp3 files as ringtones - phones have been doing this for years.
Another problem i forgot about is the ability close an application. unless i'm mistaken, if i've used IE and visited several pages, i have to press the back arrow repeatedly until the app exits....there's no "close" function.
Found an issue with downloaded music being played at max volume with the volume set at 1/30, i'll have a search for the solution to that.

Lumia 800 GSM Noises coming out of its speakers wh...

Hi,
i have a question.
My Lumia is producing gsm-noises out of its speakers and also out of the headphone when im on GPRS/EDGE network, and surfing the net. its the same noises you get out of your stereo, when you put your phone in the near of its speakers.
thats extremle annoying, since its impossible to listen to music while surfing the net on GPRS/EDGE.
Has anyone noticed that, or do i have a faulty phone?
you can check it by simply opening a youtube movie on GPRS...
thank you very much

Happy New Year,

Hi Ankit07,
Thank you for your first post and welcome to the Nokia discussion forums.
To answer your questions:
1. The maps application are updated quite frequently throughout the year but I wouldn't be able to give you any specifics on the exact amount.
2. Again I wouldn't be able to give you an exact answer but when you do decide to download a specific map it tells you the size of the map data.
3. Currently Nokia Drive has navigation maps for 90 countries although this is likely to change. Please keep an eye out for future updates.
Thank you for your questions.

Lumia 800 - support for Fast Dormancy (for longer ...

Hi,
does the Lumia 800 use Network Controlled Fast Dormancy?
My Provider doesn´t support it and the battery of my Android Phone goes down really fast - because "Fast Dormancy" only extends battery-lIfe if phone AND provider support it.
Otherwise it will cause exaclty the opposite - like in my case...

The Big M.. does that mean the answer is 'No'?

ATTENTION MODS - LUMIA 800 RETURNED FROM NOKIA REP...

Sent my Nolia Lumia 800 to Nokia at Thetford last week with a failed GPS problem. Phone delivered back today and I am thinking what a brilliant fast turnaround service until I tested out Nokia Drive 2 out after reloading everything again. SAME PROBLEM, in Nokia drive 2 phone only finds the cellular network therefore position jumps all over the place and never centres on where I actually am. Have left it out in clear sky for an hour, TWICE, still no position found. Tested again with GPSinfo same result as I put on the fault sheet A-GPS only phone does not change to accurate GPS info.
So, my question is what do I do now. Having sent it for repair and it comes back exactly the same - I have lost all faith in the system now.

Well mine was the Lumina 1020 and I sent it in in July and when it was returned to me I still had some problems that I sent it in for, so about 10 days or so I send it back in again to fix the things I originally complained about and just got it back today and this time my screen is cracked. I called but I was about an hour late in doing so. So now I'm freaked out about what's gonna be done. At first I didn't notice it because they put this bulky, over-sized & temporary screen saver on it, but as I started to get the phone going I noticed it..........then I tripped! I'm not sure what my next step should be. Any suggestions????

Nokia Lumia 800 won't charge, stuck on loading scr...

My Nokia Lumia 800 ran out of battery while I was at work (not the first time) I take it home and plug it in, after 20 mins of the red battery screen it vibrates and springs to life, but it never got past the white 'Three' welcome screen (one of three screens that flash up when the phone is first turned on, others are Nokia screen and Windows screen).
It's been charging for over 10 hours and it's still stuck on that white screen. The phone feels cold (not stone cold, but not warm either) so clearly it's not charging. I've tried a different charger, different plug, and plugging it in to the computer. When I unplug it, it dies after 20-30 mins and I go through the whole process again the next time I charge it.
When I plugged it into the computer it behaved very strangely. It rapidly connected/diconncted itself, not giving Windows time to recognoise the device was plugged in and install the driver software. Before evneutally diconnecting itself and going back to that white screen.
What's wrong with it? It's not the first time it's totally ran out of battery (although I don't let it happen very often).
The phone is only 4 months old!
What do I do?
Nokia Care on Twitter was useless, asked me to do soft resets (already tried, many times, the phone turns off briefly, vibrates, then back to that white screen).
If I have to send it in for repiars how do I do that? I live in South West England, my nearest Nokia Care store is in central London, several hours away.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
The white screen it's stuck on looks just like this: http://www.techwatch.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Three-Logo-235x276.jpg

You should contact the nokia care point and they will organise the device to be collected.

Trouble between Lumia 800 and nokia ac-10e charger

Hi,
I haven't got no more the original charger that was in the nokia lumia 800 box and I bought an original nokia ac-10e charger. All was ok until I made the update 7.10 (8170) yesterday. If I put on the charger the phone will charge for 1-2 minutes and the shut down -> switch on again -> shut down again, not charging the phone. If I link to pc it's ok.
Someone knows why?
Thanks a lot,
Igor
