Nokia Lumia 800 microphone problem (sounds like a ...

I got my new Lumia about 1 week ago and after switching from N900 to Lumia 800 I have been getting lot of complaints from people whom I talk with.
Everybody starts the phone call the same way, by saying that is there something wrong, or am I in a speaker or a car or that it but no I'm talking to my Lumia keeping it in my hand at home or work, no speaker, no car, just normally talking.
I have noticed that this happens randomly when keeping it on my hand, but it's easier to replicate the problem always by holding it with only my shoulder hands free. Could it be due to Nokias new background noise reduction feature?
Anyone had the same issue or is it just my luck to have a faulty unit?
As I understand that even if I replace it, I cannot backup my SMS messages to the new unit, do they have a way in the Nokia Care etc.?
Nokia and Windows phone first impressions:
I see it coming there, but now it seems like the version 1.0 with something still missing from the old Nokia, that needs to go to version 2.0 soon with a taste of Nokia in it, hopefully this year...

Nokia lumia 800 video problems.

Hello, my friend in work has a nokia lumia 800 which a couple of days ago just stopped playing all kinds of videos, be it videos he has taken or on youtube or any thing!
Also xbox live doesnt open either.
Neither of us are very 'techy' so any suggestions in simple terms would be very much appreciated!
Cheers

I seem to have a similar problem. After the most recent software update I can no longer play back videos that I have taken with the phone! I can play you tube videos ok, but not ones I take with the camera. Any suggestions why? I can't find any settings which I could have changed? The files play fine on the computer.
Thanks
What happens upon trying to play the videos? Is there any error message or is it just showing a blank screen?
You can try to copy the videos to your computer, delete the videos on your phone and then transfer them back to the phone from your computer.
If this would fail, you may consider resetting the phone by going to Settings and then About. As this will delete all the contents of the phone, ensure to sync your files or to create a backup copy.

Nokia lumia 800 signal problems

I have a lumia 800 with terrible signal issues. I know it is the phone and not the signal strength as i have a htc phone for work on the same network. The problem mainly is that the signal will dissappear for hours at a time, even restarting the phone doesn't help, when i have full signal on the htc phone constantly. I have issues with the phone freezing and needing to be restarted, delaying by upto 2 hours sending or recieving push messages on social apps and in general being very slow compared with the htc. the htc is on the android system and works superbly, only had a couple of minor problems with it. Is it likely that i have a faulty phone or am i just expecting to much from a phone that is over a year newer?
I like the phone, style wise just wish it worked.

i too have this problem, help needed

Nokia lumia 800 volume problem

I can't turn my volume up or down. I think its something to do with the buttons because sometimes I can turn it up. Other times I try and it will turn it down. This does my head in as my volume is now stuck on 10/30

Do you have this issue when you are engaged in a call? If yes, this is not a problem as the maximum volume level for calls is 10/30.
If you are having this issue when playing games on the phone or when streaming/listening music, here's where the issue comes in. Rebooting the phone is the first thing to try. If this would fail, check that you have the latest update installed on your phone which is the 7.8. If it is still the same, to perform a reset by going to Settings > About is what I'd suggest. As this will delete all the files on your phone, syncing all the files to your computer/cloud is a must. Please refer to the below link, specifically "reset and restore your phone" for further information about syncing your files:

Nokia Lumia 800. Battery and start up problems

Hi there,
I have been having quite a lot of problems with my nokia lumia 800.
Firstly: When the battery dies it takes a long time to get it charged back up. I have tried cycling the charger power between the laptop and power outlet. I have to play around with the power supply for a long time before the unit actually starts charging. And even then when it has just enough charge, it tries to start up but seems to run out of power half way through the start up and I end up back playing with the charging again.
It seems that there is no battery protection in the phone and the battery can completely discharge. Which would account for the problem with getting it to charge back up.
Secondly: Yesterday the phone went dead for no reason. It had about a quarter charge in the battery. I tried to turn it back on but nothing. I tried charging it and nothing.
Again after cycling the power many times between the power outlet and the laptop, I got some response. It vibrated and displayed the low battery screen. So I thought ok, it's charging. But no.
Once it has enough battery it tries to start up and then freezes on the provider logo and does not go any further. The screen stays like this. Illuminated and with the logo.
I have tried reseting the unit by holding the power button down for 10seconds and it vibrates and tries to start up again. But again freezes.
I have noticed that when I leave it charging, the unit gets quite warm. But no matter what I do the startup proceedure stops on the provider logo and no more.
I tried starting it with the charger connected and it just seems to be powering the screen because when I unplug it the unit goes dead again within a matter of minutes.
I am at a total loss as to what happened to my phone.
Can someone help please?

From the sound of it I think it needs a Nokia Care Point. Could be faulty battery or faulty charging. You can locate your nearest care point using the link below

Nokia lumia 800 sound quality

Hello.I have an issue with my nokia lumia 800.I have lattest 7.8 software and the music quality is terrible .I think every other phone plays music much much better then mine and i dont know what to do?

A good starting point would be to search the forum before posting a new thread:

Nokia Lumia 800 is off and continually vibrating.

Hey guys,
I was just using my nokia lumia 800 normally and then it suddenly shut off. I've tried everything to get it working, soft reset, hard reset, taking the sim out, letting the battery go flat then plugging it in, but nothing worked. This has happened once before but it turned back on after 5 mins. It has been 2 days now and it is stil continually vibrating. What should I do?

Hi JulseyB, Welcome to the Nokia forum!
It sounds like you have tried most things to get it back up and running again, I have a feeling it might be a hardware failure, I suggest that you take your device to your local Nokia Care point as soon as you can to get it looked at by a specialist.
I hope this has helped!

Nokia Lumia 800 and 1and1 Exchange Email

Hi,
Not sure where to post this ... sorry!
I currently have an iphone 4 and i'm using a 1and1 exchange hosting email account and they use forced password security policy.
I.e. when you put the exchange account onto the phone it forces you to password the phone.
Can anyone tell me if they have a) used hosted exchange email accounts on the Nokia Lumia 800 and everything works as expected i.e. email, calendar and contacts all sync up ok and If there is any problems with forced password security policys?
Your help will be amazing as I have really fallen for the looks and slick OS of this phone. P.s. for those that are interested ... I like Cyan
Many Thanks in advance
Steve

Today I have deleted and resetup both iphones and ipad and all were happy with a numeric password as long as there wasnt ascending or decending numbers or the same number more than twice, so happy days!! Just a little worried that I keep googling and finding problems with security certs although I did find this which sounds promising.

As a bit of a bonus today I was passing a phones4u of which I never frequent but couldnt resist the urge to pop in to have a tinker with one and there was a nokia rep/expert in for that day only!! Result got a full tour and was shown a few answers to some of my questions about calenders etc
Need to be brave now to pull the plug on my iphone and take the plunge

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 2nd. device dies!!

Hi!
Today I'd like to let you know that this is the second time that my Nokia Lumia 800 dies.
Second tieme? Yes, it is second time!!! Only to a Nokia it could happen!!!
I'm really angry towards this formerly "prestigious" brand. They launch to market a Chinese product at an European price!!!!! That's it!!! A product that isn't able to be switched on longer than a week.
Two months ago my Nokia Lumia 800 died by first time. El Corte Inglés Nokia SAT (Madrid, Spain) sent it to repair; and supposedly, according Nokia technician words, Nokia SAT changed everything except for external case. Even all data in device were lost, I received it as new.
Let's say a pray for it, today Nokia brand passed away for me!!!!!

Hi Ceroberts75!!
Thanks for your replay, but it isn’t necessary you stand Nokia brand in this way. Always, in all human organizations there are lot people that suck up and scrounge around companies to beg for a fistful of scraps and they’re happy with them!!!!
You, see? In the Spanish forum my post has been deleted! Is this freedom of speech? No, it’s censure!!!
If you spent almost 500 euro for a device that supposedly is stand by one prestigious company as Nokia was; wouldn’t you expect that once after repairing device, this dvice shouldn’t have the same problem? So, I would!
NOKIA isn’t the same as it was since they started to manufacturing in China.
If you look at Nokia financial results, losses reached 150 M. € the first trimester 2013. Why? It’s clear!!
1st Because their sales were much less than expected and their investments were much higher.
2nd Because their products aren’t supported by customers as long ago due to the hip of problems that new OS causes.
Finally, this rant is for advising those that they aren’t aware about this problem and this brand.

Nokia Lumia 800 - Micro Stuttering / Lag in OS and...

Hi everyone,
I just thought i'd bring an issue up that i've been experiencing recently.
I have a Nokia Lumia 800 (locked to Telstra - Australia)
I'm experiencing very minor, completely random slow downs or lag sometimes when just flicking through the phone OS and also at times when watching video (either recorded on the phones own camera or Youtube etc).
The most repeatable way for me to demonstrate the problem is watching a video i have recorded using the phones inbuilt camera, when playing the video back (on the phone) the video randomly lags, usually for about the first 60 seconds and then plays smoothly. It is definately not a reception or buffering issue, as in most streaming cases, the phone is well buffered.
I have also experienced slowdowns when typing an SMS, where the key presses are very slow to show up on the screen and also when launching even OS built in apps like the People Hub or Contacts.
I'm running the latest firmware 12070 (in Australia) and have tried hard resetting my phone, disabling all background agents etc with no luck.
I previously had a 1st gen HTC Mozart which experienced no slowdowns and played back all manner of video with no lag whatsoever.
There has been some discussions on XDA here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26164497&posted=1#post26164497
Has anyone else experienced any of these symptoms?

I too have this sms lag on my lumia 800. i had this issue on both formwares : 12070 and 12072. I really fed up the no of bugs in this phone.
please guys post the following bug as well. following bug is present in 5 of my frnd's lumia 800 as well. XDA please make sure this new issue reaches NOKIA. So that they can do something about.
Even i have got this latest 12072 update but still dr is one more bug guess u have not noticed it. Can u please check and clarify with the following bug description.
1." Connect you nokia handsfree or any headphones to your lumia 800 and make a call and notice that u cannot adjust the volume. Volume remains high (max) always even if you reduce the volume to zero."
2."Connect your hands free or any head set to your lumia 800 play music and reduce the volume to 15 or less now make a call again you cannot adjust the volume of the call. now cut the call and now your music starts playing in max volume which you will not be able to reduce. Until you remove your hands free or headset and reinsert it.

Nokia Lumia 800, Depleted battery Won't start up.

Hi, After being away for home for 5 days with no charger for my Nokia lumia 800, I foolishly allowed it to run out of battery, Unaware of the problems this can cause due faulty hardware, thanks to Nokia I returned home and plugged the phone into charge. I have allowed my Phone to run out of battery many times before in the past as you wouldn't expect any problem to come of it. After many hours of the phone being on charge I went to turn it on, it vibrated and came up with the phone providers image then no further, it stayed on this image for hours until I held down the power button and it would turn itself off. Not being to worried at this point I went online to the many chatrooms, helpline, youtube videos you name it to source a solution. Having tried absolutely everything, about 10 times nothing has worked to multiple button combinations, heating the phone up, plugging into PC with zune - everything. Now slightly worried as I really do want this phone to work and not have to buy a new one at a great cost. This is not a problem I have cause, it's a problem with Nokia, and the manufacturing of the phone, So if no one on here will be able to aid me in fixing the phone, once I return to the UK I shall take it into a Nokia store to get it looked at, which i won't be happy to do as many of the Nokia outlets are in unconventional locations such as Glasgow.
Thank in advance for any Help which is much appreciated,
Lambtj
Solved!

You are posting to a user to user support forum here and not contact ing Nokia Care. If the 800 will not start anymore and you have done all you say you have done it's likely the battery needs to be replaced.

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.

Data Recovery on Nokia Lumia 800

I recently went on an incredibly moving trip to Poland and took many photos and videos. My Nokia Lumia 800 ran out of battery, so I charged it overnight. When I woke up to switch it on, the memory formatted, which meant I lost so many important photos and videos. I only pressed the on button so I am at a loss as to why this happened. I have arrived home and have researched the ways I could possibly recover these life-changing photos with recovery software (since I did not have access to the internet at the time, it did not sync with SkyDrive). Is there possibly a way I could reclaim these overwritten files? I have done the 'regedit' process, so my PC can recognise it as a device independent of Zune, though it only comes up as a 'Portable Device' in Computer, meaning the recovery software doesnt detect it as a memory store from which it can recover data (ie. Removable Storage Device) . Any thoughts as to how to fix that?
Thank you for reading, and I hope to hear a reply as soon as possible.

Unless you have made a backup of the photos or synced them to skydrive I am afraid there is no way to recover them.
