Nokia Lumia 830 R-985 LTE network discrepancy

I'm looking into purchasing a Nokia Lumia 830 RM-985 but the Networks listed for LTE on Microsoft USA is very different than I was told when I called Nokia USA.
Nokia USA says for for the Lumia 830 RM-985; LTE/ 2100, 800, 2600, 900, 1800. 
Yet on Microsoft it says: 
You can only use your RM-985 device on the LTE 700 (17), 850 (5), 1700 (4), 1900 (2), 2600 (7); 
Who is correct ?
It will make a difference since I'm on T Mobile and TM LTE networks are 1700. 2100, 7.

Hi,
I intend to purchase the Lumia 830 in India.
I was under the impression that the Lumia 830 launched in India supports the 4G network but the specifications on the Indian website does not mention anything about 4G but the US website does.
Is the Indian release different from the model released in the USA ?

Hi, HaoleBoy. We appreciate your interest in our product. The Lumia 830 RM-985 supports LTE 700/850/1700-2100/1900. You can now verify this in the US support page.

    I buy Nokia Lumia 830 in Octomber 2015. I got problem in display so submit it to service centre. its near 3 weeks will complete but they are saying it will take time. its just matter of changing display.

    Centre number +919371978735
    I need that phone on urgent basis. Please help.

    Hi, startkey. Are you also using the same phone model? Do you also experience the same issue? If no, could you tell us the reason why you have sent it for repair? BTW, farby is right. Though the turnaround time is 7-10 business days. The repair would still depend on the complexity of the issue and the availability of the spare part. 
    Let us know if you need our help.

    By any chance that you have a preview developer firmware installed on your Lumia 830?

  • Lumia 830 Specs: Which model? RM-984 or RM-985

    Hi,
    Can we get a clear indication of the model described on the specs page?  Ideally, for all phones where its relevant, but in particular for the lumia 830?
    The specs for 830 (shown here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/mobile/phone/lumia830/specifications/) don't specify the model (RM-984,985,or something else).  However, I have read there is a big difference in LTE band support between 984 and 985.  In particular, the "international version" (984 i think, being sold on Amazon) doesn't seem to have the bands necessary to support T-mobile (1700/2100 and 700).  If you read the specs page, you might get the impression that ALL 830's support these bands.  Then perhaps go out and buy one that does not, and be mightly disappointed for the misinformation.  "Thanks Microsoft".  Again, its kinda confusing for consumers out there.  Can someone who knows clarify which model is being described?
    Secondly seeing as MS owns this thing now, can we pleae get some clarity around it on the specs page(s)?  Same thing is true with some other phones I have been looking at, like the Nokia 1520 -- multiple models, different band support, missing details on the specs page, that could easily lead one to buy the wrong thing.
    Thanks!

    Any time you are not purchasing a phone provided by the carrier and you want to use it with that carrier it is up to you to do your homework and make sure you get the RM version that that has that carriers frequecy bands.
    There is more than one discussion on the difference between the 983, 984 and 985 when you search the web.
    http://forums.windowscentral.com/nokia-lumia-830/317284-nokia-830-rm-984-985-what-differences-print....
    For the 1520 there is only the 940 and 938 that counts.
    940 is the AT&T version, 32 or 16GB with PMA charging
    938 32GB and Qi charging AT&T and T- Mobile LTE bands

  • Lumia 830 prototype... conflicted on whether I sho...

    I got a notice through WPCentral that Lumia 830s were being sold at $379 by a seller named truedigital. I purchased instantly.
    ...a day before it arrived, I learned that all the 830s being sold by that particular seller were prototypes and got a little worried. It arrived in perfect condition, seemed to work like a charm and even had support for LTE on AT&T.. but it had Debian Red instead of Denim (which I was told was the 'internal' name for Denim). I felt a little better about my decision as I discovered people were importing "legit" 830s and lacking LTE support on US carriers.... but there's been two persistent bothers...
    ...my phone shows up as an id317-2 instead of RM-985... and the mobile operator listed is Claro (Operator Code 1007)... which doesn't seem to affect my calls, MMS, data, etc... but DOES seem to be regionally locking me out of software such as the Live Lock Screen Beta and the recently released Glance update. It actually tells me the Lock Screen beta "Isn't available in the store" when I'm sitting here looking at the damn thing... and the Glance update simply gives me the generic and horrendously vague "App not available" screen.
    I got into a similar predicament when purchasing a Lumia 820 which I wasn't told was a store demo unit. No matter how many times I reset the 820 it went into demo mode... but Nokia Software Recovery Tool wiped that demo crap and got me running with some usable, official AT&T FW... I haven't been so lucky here with my 830.
    After waiting a couple days for NSRT to have it's server issues resolved, I plugged up my 830 and it told me "Cannot read data from selected phone". I've been told the Nokia Care Suite could be the answer to flashing my 830 to simply have the same Denim that other international 830s have... should I continue trying to get Denim here, sell this thing or just be happy I got a low-cost 830 that works on my carrier's LTE?

    Be happy.
    Sometimes, the Microsoft Store takes its time to get clearance for apps for certain models. I would wait till Christmas and then ask again, if Live Lock Screen is available for other Nokia Lumia 830 owners. However, I am not very much into US consumer rights – and whether that wait is going to kill some of your rights. By the way, which Nokia Product Code is shown in the Nokia Software Recovery Tool?

  • Unable to detect NFC tag (ISO15693) in Lumia 830 on windows Phone 8.1

    Microsoft in Windows phone 8.1 has added new Nfc related features including low level access(Non NDEF). I have Nokia Lumia 830 (PN547 NFC chipset is present in this device).Im not able to detect Nfc tag (ANT-7M24LR-A ,ISO15693) through Lumia 830, which
    im able to read/write using Nfc-V(ISO15693) in Android. I also have a Lumia 720 (old NFC hardware) but atleast it is able to detect the tag. Has anyone encountered this ? Whats the workaround ?

    Hi Franklin,
    Thank you for the quick reply.
    Current OS version on the Lumia 830  is : Windows Phone 8.1 Update (8.10.14157.200)
    I have taken reference of  the NFC Smart Card Reader project(nfcsmartcardreader codeplex) to read/ write to the tag. We are trying to read/write to the tag (ISO 15693) using the low level APIs (Non NDEF format).
    But my problem is that even before we can send/receive the data from the tag, the phone is not detecting the tag itself. If i try to debug the card added event doesnot fire in any case for (ANT-7 M24-LR-A) tag.
    I also have a Lumia 720 (old NFC hardware) but it is atleast able to detect the above mentioned tag.
    Lumia 830 is able to detect other tags like a generic NFC sticker (Mifare Ultralight) .
    Hi theDarkPriest,
    >>I have taken reference of the NFC Smart Card Reader project(nfcsmartcardreader codeplex) to read/ write to the tag
    Well, have you tied to read NFC Tag using Proximity API? If not, please refer to this article:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsappdev/archive/2013/04/18/develop-a-cutting-edge-app-with-nfc.aspx
    If the Proximity API can detect NFC Tag correctly,  I think this issue should caused by this third-party library, you need to ask for help in its official site:

    i am waiting to install ne lumia denim as a clean install via Recovery tool
    @Aakash006sharma
    ( Microsoft Enthuasist - Tech Expert )
    if you like : press star button

    OTA updates usually become available earlier than the SW appears to Recovery Tool, so this not an uncommon situation.
    If you want a clean install immediately, the result would be more or less the same if you first reset the phone to 02040.00005.14372.54001/8.10.14157.200 via Recovery tool and then download the latest SW version 02040.00021.15063.02002/8.10.14234.375 via OTA.
    Unless you have a problem with the phone or trouble with downloading the OTA update, "clean install" via Recovery Tool should not be needed though.

  • Backlight of the navigation keys Lumia 830 not wor...

    My backlight of the navigation bar of the Nokia Lumia 830 are not working properly. They were on in the beginning, but after a while they turned off. If I disable the option ''battery saver (brightness)'' in the settings of ''screen'', the lights turn on!! Strange.
    The problem is.. I haven't enabled battery saver and my battery is fully charged. Still, the lights won't go on when I have enabled the option ''battery saver (brightness)''.Thereby, on my glance screen the battery saver icon is activated. Agian, battery saver is not activated.
    Looks like a software problem. Is this a known problem and is there a solution?
    I hope to here from you.
    Kind Regards,
    Jesse

    Hello,
    I first wanted to say thank you for your response!
    Yes, I'm still experiencing it, but I've found a workaround. Let me first answer your questions and then I will tell you about my workaround.
    It doesn't happen randomly. It started after a charge overnight. I inplugged my device and this battery shield was on my glance screen, even though battery saver was not activated. On my start screen this shield wasn't visible on the battery icon. After that, my navigation keys won't light up anymore. I've tried soft resets and all options in the battery saver settings, but that didn't help. I would have contacted my point of purchase if it was a hardware defect, but..
    I've found out that it isn't. It is a software bug. In settings there is also a setting for ''screen''. If I go there, there is an option called ''battery saver (brightness)''. It is enabled by default, which is good so my screen will be dimmed when battery saver is active. But.. although battery saver is NOT active, this option does effect my brightness (so it will dim when battery saver is not active)! Thereby, when I disable this option, my keys will light up!!
    It seems some sort of software bug related to the battery saver. It is not enabled on my device and my phone is fully charged, but there is a battery shield on my glance screen and the option under screen does have effect on my brightness. I've checked it with a Lumia 930. The option under screen (battery saver (brightness)) has no effect on the brightness of the screen when battery saver is not active. After activating, the lights of the keys will also still light up. So, no trouble with the Lumia 930.
    I hope I explained it clear. If not, feel free to ask.
    btw, is there somewhere I can report this bug? Or if I report it her, will it be in the right place?

  • Lumia 830 Firmware update

    I bought my phone when it was released back in November of 2014 when it was advertised as receiving the full 'Denim' firmware update.  I'm still waiting for this update!  It looks like every other carrier in the world that carries this phone has pushed out the update - when will AT&T? I'm getting tired of waiting.

    Hey there
    I understand that this is a highly anticipated update!
    At this time, we do not have information regarding a software update release for the Nokia Lumia 830. Once updates are released for a device, our Software Updates page is updated with the latest software information and installation instructions!
    I hope this helps!
