Nokia Lumia 800 dropping Bluetooth connection to c...

Hi
First time on here so be gentle
My 4 month old Lumia 800 pairs correctly with my new car - Hynudai New generation Santa Fe Premium SE and connects each time I start the car. But after anything from 1 to 3 minutes it drops the connection, remains unconnected for about the same time then reconnects again only to drop out after a couple of minutes and so on. If I press the 'Phone' connection button in the car the "Seareching for Phone" display shows then it conencts again ok but only for a couple of minutes then drops out again!
I have been back to the car dealership who have tested the cars BT connection with two other mobile phones and they say its an issue with the Nokia 800 itself and not the car which works correclty with all other mobiles!
My phone shop said it probably needs an upgrade of the software and to conenct via Zune which I have done and no new upgrades are available!
Ideas anyone on what to do, as its driving me mad!
I cant repalce the phone as its on a two year contract! I have looked on the internet and I see there are quite a few people reporting similar issues with their BT connections dropping out.
Does anyone know a fix?
Or
What are Nokia doing about this?

In some cases, Bluetooth devices don't follow industry-standard Bluetooth communication protocols, so changes in the Windows Phone software may affect how these devices respond. If your Bluetooth device doesn't work as expected, this doesn't mean there's a problem with your phone.
If you continue to have connection problems, try contacting your Bluetooth device manufacturer.
To learn more about pairing Bluetooth devices in Windows Phone, see the following article on the Windows Phone Help and how-to website:

Nokia Lumia 800 - Stuck on 'Connect to PC' screen

Connected the Lumia 800 to my macbook air using the proper Windows Phone app on the mac. Phone connected no problem, backed up all my photo's and videos onto my macbook. Noticed there was an update available for the phone so I updated.
Towards the end of the update, the phone reset itself as expected and then failed to reconnect to the macbook. The phone was never physically disconnected at any point throughout this process.
The Windows Phone app asked me to connect my device and my device had the 'Connect to PC' image on the screen. Both were connected to each other. I left it sit for approximately 20 minutes and nothing changed so I restarted my macbook and again, nothing changed.
I disconnected the phone and tried a different USB port and the Windows Phone app appeared to attempt to connect for a split second but then stopped, no errors or anything.
I've tried a hard reset on the phone (wolume down, camera, power button) and again, nothing. I've let the phone battery go completely flat, again, no difference. I try plugging it into a direct power source to charge, guess what, no difference.
Right now the phone is sitting here, 'Connect to PC' image stuck on the screen, not connecting to anything. If I hold the power button for a few seconds, the phone vibrates, the screen goes black and after about 20 seconds the 'Connect to PC' screen reappears.
I have honestly tried every combination possible. At this point I don't care if I lose all my contacts and messages, I just don't want to be left with a brick.
Any help at all would be appreciated.
PS: I don't have access to a PC so I'm afraid that option is out. MacBook Air (less than 6 months old) and an ancient Ubuntu laptop but that's it.
Picture of "Connect to PC" screen attached.

How I can connect my Nokia Lumia 800 phone to my PC? I want to copy some music and photo from PC to mobile.

Nokia lumia 800: how to make a backup of sms to pc

I would like to know how I can make a backup of my sms-messages on my Nokia lumia 800 to my pc (windows vista). I tried Zune, but that programm only gives the possibility to backup pictures and music. Installing Nokia PC Suite didn't work out. I could'nt connect my Nokia lumia 800 to my pc (no possible via usb and bluetooth).
Thanks for any help!

You cannot back up SMS from WP7 handsets. The only available workaround is to copy the contents of the messages in a text file and save that to PC.

Nokia Lumia 800 + Xbox 360 BT headset = Best Combi...

I just tested out my Xbox 360 BT headset w/ my Nokia Lumia 800 and it works much better than my Plantronics BT headset. Speaker is louder, connection is a breeze, I know I would always have to pair my phone every time w/ the Plantronics BT, w/ the Xbox 360 BT it connects everytime. Another thing I was surprised at was it supports ADP2, so you can listen to your music or watch netflix and hear the audio through your Xbox 360 BT headset. If you're looking for a headset try the Xbox 360 BT headset.

Hello
After all I managed to connect it to the sony bluetooth headset via the nfc function! But manually it wouldn't find either of the two headsets and yes I did the steps you said
The devices you are trying to connect to the phone have to be in the bluetooth pairing mode before the phone will see them in bluetooth.
Read up on how to put the headsets in pairing mode. Should be in the literature that came with them.

Nokia Lumia 800 won't update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Yes, I know there are already several topics on this but I'm pretty desperate now.
I receive a Nokia Lumia 800 in December for christmas (I know it's not the latest but my family doens't have all that much money). Since christmas day I have been trying to obtain the update for the Lumia. The one that fixes battery and stuff. I've tried search for updates and I've tried searching using Zune. I've had NO success at all. I've tolerated the many flaws in my Lumia such as the lack of a screenshot ability and the bluetooth issue. Those are but two of many. I really want to like this phone and so far, I've only managed to become annoyed by it. I refuse to switch to iOS and I don't have the money for a decent android so I ask, does anyone know of any way I can get updates for my Lumia 800?

Pretty sure it's running the latest updates.
A lumia 720 would probably have been (much) cheaper, is faster overall, runs the latest Windows Phone OS (WP8.0 GDR3 with Nokia Black FW) and will be receiving at least the next major OS update.

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.

My new Nokia Lumia 800 changes date and time after...

When i switch off and on my Nokia Lumia 800, date and time changes: from 2 september 2012 8.00 to 2 march 2013 14.00. I need help to understand this strange problem and find a solution.

I had the same problem with my Lumia 800. The Lumia 800 kept changing time and date as soon as I switched it off and turned it back on. In my case, doing a HARD RESET helped to fix this. BEWARE! You will lose all your data!
Switch off your phone, hold Volume Down, Power, Camera buttons down. Switch phone on. As soon as it vibrates, release Power button, keep Volume Down and Camera button pressed for a few seconds.
I have the same problem and after going through all the various support sites- Nokia, O2, and endless forums I was told the same thing "Make sure your auto-update for date and time is switched to automatic" But after telling them I don't know how many times that my Lumia 800 didn't have this option, only a 24 hours switch I was told there was nothing that could be done. However I appear to have sorted it out myself. The problem appears to be (or on my phone at least) is wi-fi connection, before I turn my phone off I have to disconnect from wi-fi and when I turn the phone back on the date and time stays corrected.
When I set the date and time manually (for the 3000th time!!) I held in the power button until the slide down close screen disappeared then released it and the phone restarts, then I done it again- same proceedure just to be sure and ever since the date and time has stayed correct. BUT BE SURE TO TURN OFF WI-FI BEFORE SWITCHING PHONE OFF. Hope this helps

Nokia Lumia 800 to TV

Has anyone managed to connect there Nokia Lumia 800 to there tv? using the adaperters you can buy to convert mini USB into HDMI ?
Dave

There is an app for that! "Play to" NOT "Lumia Play To", it's too recent to be compatible with our antiquated phone. Download Play To on your Lumia, do the set up, make sure you TV is connected through the internet LAN, or something else. We had ours (Sharp Aquos) connected over WiFi, but the app worksz over WiFi, so connect the TV through a line. after the set up choose what you want your phone to stream TO (your TV) then install the Xmovies8 app, download a movie you want to see and take it from a 5"
screen to a 64"!!! word!

Nokia Lumia 800 Draining Credit?

Hey guys I've recently brought a used Nokia Lumia 800 (really liking it so far). The only problem is that it seems to drain my credit for no reason. When I go into my history it just says $[ammount] Data usage, and it has used up $20 telstra credit in two days! Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do?

Hi Haywoodjablome, are you subscribed to your Network provider with a data plan? Or are you on Pay As You Go (PAYGO)?
Assuming it's the latter, you can try to turn off the data connection by going to Settings > Mobile Network/Cellular.
In downloading games and accessing the Internet Explorer to browse the web, use WiFi instead.

Nokia Lumia 800 screen is loose

Hello everybody, I'm back again!
But however with a new issue..
I've had my Nokia Lumia 800 since 1year 4 months~
I've dropped it a few dozen times during this time.
So last time I dropped it, the screen got loose.
So I wonder, is it safe to just use some very strong glue in the corners and press it in again?
The glue will be put on the backside of the panel
I hope you understand what the problem is

Oh, btw. The smartphone works good all in all.
The touchabilities isn't damaged or anything.
everything works as before only that the screenpanel needs to be in socket again

Nokia Lumia 800 key vibration

I bought a new Nokia Lumia 800. I noticed that despite turning off vibration, the phone vibrates each time the back key (<-) is pressed. Is there any way to turn this off. i believe this could save a lot of battery.
Also how do we completely close an application in Lumia 800? I opened a page in IE. pressed back key. Then pressed and held back key to find there is no active application or IE running. However, when i open IE next time, I see the previous page has been loaded and it has been active all this time which could have been eating in to my data usage as well as battery charge.
Thanx in advance.
Solved!

Yep it is true for Psychomania said, however I've been using Nokia since 3310 and since then I've declared that Nokia is a "connecting people" phone. Because it is easy to use, it is easy to share (contacts, sounds, pictures, messages etc), it is easy to customize. Moreover it is not hard to change from an old Nokia phone to the new one.
After Lumia comes, I believe this is the best of Nokia phone that the quality is almost equal with IOS. I do agree for following the trend of the consumer mostly (social, market, book etc) is a good thing to do. But please Nokia, do not change your ability, do not change your "connecting people" style. I'm feeling as a bird on cage with Lumia, could not change sms tone, when I was migrating contacs and I found my contacs get multiplied and I have to merge it or delete it, Could not change my phone name directly from my phone. I know IOS is using itunes for importing things inside it, yet It is not good enough if we remarks all of it. You have your own style, Nokia.
