Nokia Lumia 800 - sync calendar entries

Did anyone notice that Windows Live will only sync calendar entries within the last “2 weeks” to your lumia?  It seems that Windows Live has limited the synchronization through their server.  This has caused a lot of inconvenience as past calendar entries are also important.

Yes, I have noticed this - the more responses that users find this unsatisfactory the better and, hopefully, Microsoft/Nokia will address the problem.
There are many times when I need to refer to past items in my calendar, and a 15 day cut-off is unacceptable; I often go back 12 months! I also don't carry a laptop around with me, so logging in to my Windows Live or Google calendar is not an option - that was the reason for purchasing a smartphone.
The Nokia Lumia 800 phone has performed well for me in all other functions but this really does need to be fixed. Come on guys, listen to your users.
I am one of the people that this really DOES BOTHER!!

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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. See Reset  and restore your phone found in the below link for more information as regard to syncing your files, resetting the phone and restoring the files backed up:

  • 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 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.

    chrysale wrote:
    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

  • Cold weather + Nokia Lumia 800 = Inactive touch sc...

    Is this normal for your touch screen to be inactive during cold weather on your nokia lumia 800? If so what are some remedies to get the screen to get the touch screen active. Maybe using a blow dryer to warm up your phone or using a phone sock case to reduce the cold temperatures in the morning. What are your thoughts on this topic?

    There have been similar low temperature issues reported using N9, which seems ironic for phone designed in Finland. Do also wonder whether state of charge of battery is implicated in such behaviour as really need to be fully charged before taking out in the cold.
    I remember on a cold morning I left it on the charger over night and the touch screen wasn't working.

  • Dead Nokia Lumia 800 warranty

    I purchased my nokia lumia 800 from a person on amazon market place, the phone died after just a few days and, It will not power up since then. I wondered if I would be entitled to a warranty even though I do not have an origional receipt nor can I find the seriel number as the phone will not power on. Anyone any idea ?

    @cozmoss10
    You may have problems satisfying conditions of warranty which states:-
    "When making a claim under this Limited Warranty you will be required to provide: a) the Product (or the affected part) and b) the original proof of purchase, which clearly indicates the name and address of the seller, the date and place of purchase, the product type and the IMEI or other serial number."
    More details here:http://europe.nokia.com/support/repair-and-recycle/european-limited-warranty
    I have been caught out in the past with Amazon "One Click" purchase even from established business seller, where there is no invoice included and only communication is that item has been despatched.

  • RAM on nokia lumia 800, 512 or 363 mb???

    Hi, I've bought a new Nokia lumia 800. The amount of RAM for this device is 512 Mb. but all the free app that displays the main information of the device that I've used indicates that total ram is 363 Mb and not 512. The device itself don't have the option to see the ram, in the "about" information you can see only the free storage that is 12 Gb. The free app indicates that I've total ram 363 and free ram 341 Mb, how can I be sure of the real amount of RAM. Is there a free or not free app better than mine that discover the real ram.
    Thanks.
    Solved!

    Thanks adrianhughes,
    I was almost certain that it wouldn't be possible that my phone has 363 mb inspite of 512. But it's always better to doubt because the phone was in sale, I paid 199 €. But the fact that the free apps also don't reveal the real amount of  free storage space that is 16 gb, it may be a signal.
    Agai thanks and by.

  • 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!

  • Broken touch screen on Nokia Lumia 800

    I bought a Nokia Lumia 800. I also got an insurance along with it. Recently the phone fell from my pocket and landed on the top right corner to the floor. The so called Corning's gorilla glass cracked. I went to the nearest Nokia care and asked them to repair it. They took a month just to reply to me (after so many follow-ups) that they cannot do it in my city (I live in Pondicherry, India) and had to send it to New Delhi fo repair. Even in that they were not sure if it will get repaired. The following statement is from an email from Nokia Customer Care.
    "They’ll try to solve the issue. If it is repairable, they’ll repair. Otherwise they’ll return your handset without repaired. If they returned your handset without repaired, they’ll charge rs.175 for transportation expenses"
    When i asked them what if they cannot repair it, he asked me to be positive... So the problem here is in many levels
    1) Why did the phone glass crack from a fall of such short distance? The transmission of impact was from the body directly to the glass....(photo attached)
    2) Why is there not enough support from Nokia Lumia 800 yet from all the service centers?
    3) I am made to wait for more than a month with a cracked mobile phone......

    1) Gorilla Glass is 'Glass' and it can break/crack with impact, it is extremely robust, not indistuctable .
    2)All service centres cannot supply full support everywhere, i have to have my Nokia sent away for repair in the UK if I have an issue and can take up to 30 days, so you are not being singled out and this applies to other makes as well.
    3)See 2 and also if you have insurance as stated, and as it would never be considered a warranty issue as it was misuse by the user, contact your insurer, the issue is with them, if you paid for insurance, they are the people to contact ?
    Good Luck
