Nokia Lumia 822 has MicroSD card issues

I upgraded to my Lumia in April, and since then, it has ruined 3 MicroSD cards. It either stops recognizing that they are in the phone (after which I've discovered that putting them into my computer and formatting them, they can be recognized), or simply deletes everything.
My latest SD card has lasted about a week so far, but I noticed that after synching my phone (to the Windows program that it uses on your computer) my "Camera Roll" was emptied of most of the pictures. There were two pictures left, but I was unable to "attach and send" them or "attach and share" to any of my messages or apps.
Also, anytime I synch my music through the Windows program on the computer, it adds another copy of the song to the card, or removes songs that I want to keep on the SD card.
The program used to synch isn't very user friendly, especially when trying to navigate pictures (only lists the file names, no options for thumbnails whatsoever), so I might just need help learning how to use that better?
I love my phone, but it has become a large pain, considering this isn't the only issue I've encountered.
Is anyone else having issues like these? And if so, have you found any solutions?

    Hi ARowald,
I understand your concerns regarding the SD card issues you have encountered. A review of my resources indicate that this issue has been escalated to our software team and the manufacturer will address these issues in a future software update (No ETA).

  • Nokia Lumia 822 for Verizon - Application Issues

    First – I apologize in advance for the length of this post – I just wanted to provide as much detail as I could to help others that might run into problems like I did.
    I just got my Nokia Lumia 822 for Verizon and had some issues that I believe were related to the phone being set up for English United Kingdom instead of English USA.
    When the associate was done setting up my phone, I started using it and noticed immediately that the virtual keyboard was set for UK English (it displayed a co.uk button instead of a .com button).  I went into Settings > System > Keyboard and Settings > System > language+region and switched from English UK to English USA, and I thought everything would be fine.
    Although phone functionality, texting, 4G, WiFi, and voice mail from the Verizon Wireless Phone application all worked, and I was able to download applications from the Windows App Store, I had the following issues:
    My Verizon Mobile hangs at “Loading Resources…” screen
    Voicemail application – got “SIM Error – Unable to read SIM Data” error message
    Settings > System > Nokia account – got “Hardware Problem – Couldn’t Complete Operation” error message
    Settings > System > Backup Assistant Plus – would not start and returned directly to Settings > System menu
    Settings > System > extras+info – would not start and returned directly to Settings > System menu
    I took the phone to my local Verizon Wireless store and they told me that it looked like a hardware problem and that I should return it for an exchange where I purchased the phone.  I also called Verizon Tech Support, and the support assistant tried a couple of things before coming to the same conclusion – that the hardware was probably faulty and I should exchange my phone for a new one.
    I decided to ensure that my SIM card was seated properly, so I popped off the back cover, removed the battery, then removed my SD Card and SIM Tray, then reinserted everything and put the back cover back on.  When the phone booted up, I noticed that the App Store had 6 updates for the apps that I was having trouble with.  I went into the App Store and downloaded the updates, and now encountered the following problems:
    My Verizon Mobile now launched, but I got an error message that the app could not connect to the network.
    Voicemail application – still got “SIM Error”
    Settings > System > Nokia account – still got “Hardware Problem”
    Settings > System > Backup Assistant Plus – application launched but I got an error message
    Settings > System > extras+info – now worked, and displayed version information about my phone and OS version
    Finally, I went into Settings > System > about and pressed the reset your phone button.  When it booted, I went through the initial setup screens and selected the default language (English USA).  I noticed that English UK was right above the default selection, and I believe the associate who did the setup in the store selected this instead of clicking on the default.  After selecting that I wanted to restore my data from the cloud, and waiting for about 5 minutes for this to complete, I was glad to see that all of the functionality now worked as expected.
    So to make a long story short, before assuming you have a bad piece of hardware, try using Settings > System > about – reset your phone – just in case it was set up incorrectly at the store.

        netsirk,
    Sorry to hear that your phone has become so unresponsive! Let's see if we can get that working again. Try removing the battery for 30 seconds and then replace battery and back and power on. Should that trouble still persist then the next step would be a factory reset. This will unfortunately erase the Lumia but at least will make it functional again. Here are the instructions if you need them: http://vz.to/1mq6kLO . Best of luck.

  • Nokia lumia 822 - out of luck I guess

    I bought the Nokia Lumia 822 when I renewed my contract. Early on the phone was randomly turning itself off during the day and at night. I do not have a land line at home and this is also my business phone. Random shut downs are not safe at night nor good for getting business calls.
    In order to get it to come back on I have to either remove the battery or hold the power and volume button down for 20 seconds.
    I stuck it out after reading in Verizon's forums that this was a common issue and might be fixed in a software patch release by Nokia/Microsoft.
    After several patches and a recent (this week) reset to factory settings the problem has persisted. Just this week it has happened over 15 times causing missed calls.
    No software updates have helped.
    The Verizon / Nokia forums still have numerous posts complaining of this issue but Verizon / Nokia does not seem to be aware of it or want to acknowledge it...
    I had to reactivate my old Droid X on my line to keep a reliable phone powered on.
    I did have a phone and email conversation with technical support who promised a solution and never got back to me. Now she will not respond to my emails.
    I don't think another Nokia product will be purchased again.
    Ryan

    this is the OS, not phone.  it is happening to other Nokia windows phones as well.  i've had this phone for approx 2 mths and have been told by verizon tech support that microsoft was supposed to issue the patch to correct this issue by the end of june.  ha!  i've made repeated calls to tech support, now they say patch delayed till end of july.  HA! again!!  sad part is, verizon has known this was an issue and continued to sell the phones.  i tried to return my phone within the 2 week period, but was told that the 2 weeks start on the day you ordered the phone, not received and activated it.  now i'm stuck for 2 years with a piece of crap phone.  no more windows phones for me.  i missed the 2 week mark by 24 hours.

  • I NEED HELP MY NOKIA LUMIA 822 IS ALL BLACK SCREEN...

       ok so, my dad has a nokia lumia 822. he said that he tried to unlock his phone, so he slid the page up and i guess it asked him for a system update? so he accidently pressed ok, or yes, or whatever and his screen went all black then later showed a :-( face.
       we took out the battery and tired the VOLUME DOWN + POWER button and the same screen with the sad face is shown. WHAT DO WE DO?!!! please help! 

    Hope you have tried the Soft Reset correctly ..
    Soft Reset : Press Power + Volume(down) keys until the phone vibrates (about 8-10 seconds). 
    If that doesn't work try Hard Reset : Press Power + Volume(down) + Camera keys  until the phone vibrates Then release the power button but keep the volume and camera keys pressed down for another 5 seconds.
    Failing that too.. you need to visit Nokia Care

  • Nokia Lumia 822 latest update

    My phone has a lot of the latest update features, but its also missing a lot of it too... Such as the notification drop down menu and Cortana.... My phone says it's completely up to date, but if so why do I not have certain features of the latest update to the Nokia Lumia Black?

    Welcome to Nokia Discussions, Zurrriiii.
    According to the Lumia 822 support page, the most recent software release for Nokia Lumia 822 is Lumia Black. The features you have mentioned like the action center and cortana are both integrated to a much newer update called Lumia Cyan. Availability of this update may vary per region or network provider.

  • Nokia Lumia 800 has stopped working

    Hello,
    My Nokia Lumia 800 has just stopped working - I checked it during the day to reply to messages and it was working fine, and then when checking it about an hour later it would not respond to anything.
    When I got home I tried charging it (it didn't have low battery when I was out so I don't think it turned off because of that). Then I tried taking the SIM out and putting it back in, tried the 'soft reset', the 'hard reset' and then plugged it into my laptop, all of which did nothing.
    I'm just not sure what to do next really, any advice would be much appreciated!
    Thank you,
    Zara

    Hi, ZaraFrizell. When you tried charging the phone, does it show any battery indicator? Are these the troubleshooting steps you've done so far: Nokia Lumia 800 - Troubleshooter? Note that the link is intended for the US, but you may search it on your local page. In case that the issue still remains, best to have it checked by our authorized technicians. Taking your phone for repair will delete all the personal files saved on it. Check this: http://www.microsoft.com/en/mobile/locale/ to find your local repair options.
    Keep us posted. 

  • Enable pop up blockers on Nokia Lumia 822 phone

    How do I enable pop up blockers On my Nokia lumia 822 phone? I am unable to log into certain sites,please help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You mean disable pop-up blockers? You can't. This has been raised several times. The browser simply takes a dislike to certain sites which it decides are not safe and nothing will persuade it otherwise. My UK bank being one. Asking for a desk top version of a site or using a different browser doesn't help.

  • Help! Nokia Lumia 822 Amber Update Question

    I just changed over to a Windows phone from Android. I purchased a Nokia Lumia 822 and installed the Amber Update yesterday.
    However, I don't have any of the features from the update available on my phone. My OS version is 8.0.10327.77 and my Firmware revision number is 3045.0000.1328.1031.
    Since my phone was "new" to me, I even tried resetting it to no avail.
    Everytime I go to Settings>Phone Update, it says there are no updates.
    Is there a way to reinstall the Amber Update?
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    What is it that you are looking for in the features that you can not find?

  • Verzion Starts Nokia Lumia 822 Pre-Ordering Tonight

    At 1am ET Verizon will open the doors for pre-ordering the Nokia Lumia 822.
    http://news.verizonwireless.com/news/2012/10/verizon-wireless-4G-LTE-windows-8-phones.html
    I have to bite the bullet and purchase the 822   My HTC Touch Pro 2 isn't going to last and the app portfolio of Nokia out ways HTC in choice of phone.  Plus I can give the 822 to my wife when/if a high end Lumia makes its way to VZW.

    I bit the bigger bullet and paid $99 for the Lumia 922 on AT&T and got a free charging plate with the order.  Good enough coverage for the area so goodbye Verizon.  It was a good run of 10 years...

  • First Real Pictures of Verizon Nokia Lumia 822

    http://wmpoweruser.com/verizon-nokia-lumia-822-real-life-pictures-leak/
    Well guys looks like its HTC 8x Flame red for me. No way I am getting this mid range water down version phone. This crap looks like one of the free phones Verizon gives you if you sign a 2 year contract

    This looks like a low end entry phone, no thanks... I would not buy this one...
    If this and the 8X is all Verizon is getting this round, I will be testing AT&T's network where I live and work, if it is just as good as VZW, I will go get the 920.
    Verizon needs to step up their game here and not get low end models.

  • My Nokia Lumia 1520 has a plethora of issues

    This is mainly about my Nokia Lumia 1520, but also some other Nokia Lumia phones.
    After I inherited my Nokia Lumia 1520 I had to wait a few weeks before I could install Windows Phone 8.1 (Blue) + Nokia Lumia Cyan on it, after doing so I signed in with my Microsoft-account (as it was of a deceased family member before, and I was using his Microsoft-account, so I had to factory reset it), after resetting it I noticed a plethora of issues that weren't present in Windows Phone 8, no offence to anyone at Microsoft, but Windows Phone 8 had absolutely 0 bugs I ever experienced, no crashes, no oddities, ever since the new operating system was released all my phones as well as my ex-girlfriend's and my girlfriend's phones have been experiencing issues, but none more than my Nokia Lumia 1520, here is a summation of each phone. Note that I am a huge Windows Phone fanboy, so I have purchased several devices for multiple people, and I'll write what they've told me down here too. Note that most are either Nokia Lumia or Microsoft Lumia, but one is by the Cantonese manufacturer, Huawei so I don't know if that will be considered (ir)relevant by the moderators.
    Nokia Lumia 1520:
    * Sometimes the touch-screen randomly doesn't respond (which is really annoying while playing Age of Empires: Castle Siege where I lost the chance to get several British banners due to this error), this recovers sometimes by going stand-by, but this alternates and seems completely random when the screen gets responsive again, and when not.
    * It randomly starts pressing physical buttons, and when I try to press them it's not recognized by the phone, and there is no way to turn my phone off or even put it in stand-by while it's doing this.
    * There is no back-up for settings and app data, it did this before but for some reason it does notify me that I haven't backed up in a while and any attempt to back it up is met with countless of errors, before my phone backs up my data again I don't want to factory reset it because I don't want important data to get lost, so please help me fix this. 
    * It sometimes starts crashing random applications with provocation.
    * Sometimes it won't charge.
    * It crashes randomly while playing videos on Google YouTube and other websites.
    * It can't download Lumia Help + Tips.
    * Sometimes the screen goes all black, and the camera stops to work, but here is the odd part, whenever I click on the back-button and hold it it shows me the ''open'' applications, but they all remain black.
    * Half of the time when I take pictures with it there is a 3 second delay, and most of the time those pictures aren't saved, so I only use it to take screenshots, and maybe 1 in every 10 screenshot is actually saved.
    * It won't show the profile pictures of my Microsoft Skype-contacts.
    * The calendar doesn't work on the lock-screen, and shows me the wrong information all the time.'
    * Cortana randomly starts in the middle of other things.
    * Internet Explorer Mobile randomly crashes and closes the tab I'm on at that moment.
    * Internet Explorer Mobile randomly opens tabs I didn't ask for.
    Nokia Lumia 920:
    * The phone sometimes won't restart after going completely off unless one would hard reset it.
    * There is no back-up for settings and app data, it did this before but for some reason it does notify me that I haven't backed up in a while and any attempt to back it up is met with countless of errors, before my phone backs up my data again I don't want to factory reset it because I don't want important data to get lost, so please help me fix this. (note for my Nokia Lumia 920 this happened after I returned from Hanoi, the issue has been constant on my Nokia Lumia 1520 even while it was in Europe)
    * Microsoft Skype crashes when I want to upload a picture or drawing (unique to this specific phone, it works seamless on all the other devices).
    * Microsoft Cortana often notifies me about news, but can't fetch anything when I click on the message in the Action Centre.
    * It can't download Lumia Help + Tips.
    * On some (Vietnamese) Wi-Fi connections it can't update nor download several applications regardless of size (for example an Angry Birds game called Angry Birds Go! that is nearly 1 G.B. nor an 8 M.B. N.O.R.A.D. Santa Tracker).
    * When there is a flippable protective case around it the cellular network will crash, and can only be restored after rebooting it, before I got S.I.M. errors on it nearly 5 times a day, each time it required me to restart my phone.
    * It permanently shows 2 unread mails in Microsoft Outlook and 8 in Google Mail for no reason, I have 0 mails in Yahoo! Mail but it does tell me that I have ''unread'' ones in several (NON-EXISTING) folders.
    * The Calendar doesn't appear on the lock-screen, and if it does it's either several weeks too late, or shows me messages for months about things that happened last year.
    * Sometimes one ear-plug goes without sound, rather than being a hardware problem it gets fixed by rebooting the phone.
    * Sometimes I can't copy or paste anything.
    * Internet Explorer Mobile often doesn't recognize images I want to save, while somehow it does recognize those same images either the day before and/or the next time.
    Nokia Lumia 520:
    * The phone sometimes won't restart after going completely off unless one would hard reset it.
    * It doesn't recognize the Micro-S.D. card it did before (it worked while on Lumia Cyan).
    * It can't download Lumia Help + Tips.
    * It sometimes won't charge.
    Nokia Lumia 530 Dual S.I.M.:
    * After inserting a Micro-S.D. card it can't download in-app videos (Microsoft Skype) or voice messages (WhatsApp-Messenger) or even links (Facebook Messenger).
    * It can't download Lumia Help + Tips.
    * Sometimes it doesn't recognize the 2nd S.I.M. Card.
    * Like before, the Calendar doesn't function on the lock-screen.
    Microsoft Lumia 353:
    * Touch related issues similar to the Nokia Lumia 1520 as expressed above.
    Huawei Ascend W1:
    * The phone will detect low storage even when there is lots of free space.
    Unrelated to these phones, but still ''Nokia'' hardware is the Nokia charger that comes with Nokia Lumia phones for some reason doesn't work, I mean like ever, and Microsoft forces me to buy new chargers, plus I still use the charger I had on my old H.T.C. Windows Phone for my Nokia Lumia 920. All the above phones have many more issues, but I just simply can't remember them right now.

    Confirm that Date / Time settings are correct.

  • Nokia Lumia 930 Defects or Firmware Issues

    I recently upgraded to a Nokia Lumia 930, I had a 920 for ages and loved it. However, I had to replace my first 930 within two days as there was a hardware issue with one of the back buttons not working (when the phone heated up the back button would start pressing itself and get stuck sometimes).
    I've had the new Lumia 930 (the replaced one) for two months now and the following problems have come to my attention:
    Double tap to wake goes through phases where it just does not work. I've tried pressing down on the top right corner to see if it rectifies the problem but it does not (not sure how double tap to wake uses the proximity sensor, is this not dependant on the display). I do however have seen that double tap to wake stops working after charging the phone (I'm able to reproduce the behaviour repeatedly)? It will after a few hours of work just magically return to normal?
    Proximity sensor goes through stages where it does not work either. I can't for certain say this happens after every charge but maybe it's just a coincidence that this happened after my last charge.
    Some notification sounds do not sound at all, it seems to only happen when the display is turned off (or when the device is in standby?). Notifications including sounds such as locking and unlocking the phone aren't always played.
    The screen does not turn on sometimes when and if a notification comes through (they do not always sound as in point 3 above).
    Hey Cortana performance is terrible, it just doesn't work if the phone is not unlocked.
    Gestures Beta has never worked on my Lumia 930, albeit a beta, I never have had any problems with it on my Lumia 920.
    Things I consider to be the culprit:
    There are so many issues with my device while it is in standby, that it seems to me that it might be a firmware problem? I can't image how being in low power mode would affect the device sensors (unless there is some kind of voltage drop in standby and the device's sensors are unable to function). Unsure why it seems to be fine when the device is unlocked.
    I can't explain what charging does to double tap to wake, but the fact that this happens after every charge leads me to believe there is something here.
    Things I have tried:
    Pressing right hand corner of screen for double tap to wake. Did not help (also saw somebody going on about the phone bending in another post, my device is in a hard cover and the 930 has Gorilla glass 3, not sure it will bend at all).
    Hard reset and reload firmware. Did not help (Currently running Denim).
    Anyone experiencing the same problems and any solutions? I came here after being directed by Microsoft Mobile's facebook page. They don't seems to think posting my problems on facebook is a good idea. Honestly, this is my second Lumia 930 and after reading up on all the issues with the double tap to wake have a came to one conclusion: The build quality of this device is terrible.
    Thank you for your time.
    Jaco

    Here's an update.
    In frustration I tried pressing harder in the right hand corner, and if course that solves the issues (Lovely design flaw this). Although only temporarily and I still don't know how the charging is capable of affecting this at all.
    My suggestion to Microsoft would be to allow in the next firmware update to allow users to disable this sensor. It seems that this sensor (or the light sensor next to it, who knows) is used to determine if the device is allowed to "Unlock" using double tap to wake. If this is the case, the device will simply ignore it when you tap on the screen (at the cost of somehow waking up in your pocket, a small price to pay)?
    Anyhow, anyone's take on this?
