A lot of information is available in that website. I find it very useful. I wonder why most WP users do not use it.

  • Nokia Lumia 1520 Lock Screen Symbol

    I have a notification icon that I cant get rid of and I was hoping someone could identify it. It is an envelope that has a wavy line across the bottom. Its different to the new email icon and the message icon. I cant find any outstanding notifications in any apps.

    You may want to try to use the Nokia Software Recovery Tool first before sending your phone to the service center.

  • Facebook Notifications Nokia Lumia 920

    Hi, I can't seem to get facebook app notifications to work on my Nokia Lumia 920. I've selected 'toasts and tile count' and all the boxes underneath are ticked, yet i still don't recieve notifications. Even on my lock screen i don't recieve notifications.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks

    If you go to outlook.com and login with the Microsoft account you use on your phone, then go to the upper right and click your name, select account settings. On the left menu now go to Permissions then Manage your accounts. You should see linked accounts like Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin if you have them. If Facebook is not there, you need to add it and give permission for them to be linked. If it is there, you may want to try and remove it and add it back again and then give it a little time to sync and see if that works
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • Whatsapp for Nokia Lumia 920

    Hi, I have whatsapp installed on my Nokia Lumia 920, how do i get the notification to show up on my lock sreen?
    Also how do i change the tones when receiving whatsapp message?
    Thanks, Rich

    Hi mate,
    I presume the settings woul be inside the app for WhatsApp tones, however it would also pay to check if there are any relevant ringtones under Settings > Ringtones + Sounds.
    As for the notification to show up on your lock screen, I'm unsure if Whatsapp would support it, but if it did, the place to look is in Settings > Lock screen, under the area Notifications. There is an option to choose which app to display detailed status, and also which apps to show quick status.

  • Nokia Lumia 920 India Launch ! - Some Observations...

    Hi,
    Being a Nokia fan for years .. I decided to write this .. I hope people at the right level from Nokia see this.
    We all know Nokia Lumia 920 has probably hit all the right spots with Users abroad and the best thing is they are loving it a lot. I probably would like to be one of them soon.
    However I have certain concerns,
    When Nokia launced Lumia in India people had high hopes including myself however one thing that I have always found going wrong is the 'PRICING' .. yes such insanely high pricing at launch .. why ? Look at the pricing of Lumia 800 at launch (around 33k) . Look at the pricing of Lumia 900 still (31k) ? .. Lumia 800 now sells around at the price of 19k !! - almost a 40% drop in price.
    The basic thinking in the minds of people including me is 'Don't buy a Nokia phone immediately on launch !!'. Why can't this be changed ? - Yes everybody wants to earn profits but in a situation wherein you are more in search for Mindshare .. This does not make sense. Obviously I am no one to teach anybody anything but this is what I feel & what I have felt for years.
    If I buy a Nokia Lumia 920 at launch only to find that after 3 months the pricing has come down by 3-5k .. I will not be a Happy Consumer.
    Nokia - Launch Lumia 920 at a very competitive price (so that the likes of SGS3 & HTC 8x will feel ashamed) .. Arrive at a price & keep it steady for real long so that the initial adopters are happy & others come to know that Nokia's pricing is real good and will stay that way for long.
    Nokia's Lumia are pretty good phones .. they never lag when compared to Android etc however they have not been well received by people here in India. The most common answer that I get is 'Bluetooth not there - can't transfer files' , 'Can't use memory card ' & 'Apps not available'.
    Nokia - you have to change this mindset of people because with Windows Phone 8 these things are no longer hindrances ! .. especially Bluetooth & Micro-sd support.
    I am expecting your Ads to have this .. be it on Radio or TV or Internet.
    Can we have right people on the Job ? - Recently I went to Hypercity Mall (in Mumbai) (Nokia booth). I took in my hand a Lumia 510. I asked how much RAM ? .. to my surprise he answered 512 Mb .. and I was like What ? I asked him to recheck - still the same answer. He said we have confirmed. The phone actually comes with 256 Mb of RAM.
    Now imagine what happens to a consumer who brought this phone from him ?
    Nokia - Please get the right people at task for Nokia Lumia 920 & 820 because there you have got some real innovations like PureView, OIS, Wireless Charging etc. Ensure that users get the right demo of all the innovations. First impression will be the Last impression.
    At Malls (without Nokia booths), the 2 phones Lumia 800 & Lumia 710 lonely guard the booths .. with rarely anybody there to explain about them. Just on the side of it I find Samsung's booth with all the latest flagships standing there & probably someone to explain about it - however Android needs no explanation these days will all aware about it (& even if not aware they know a phone with it is Cool!).
    Nokia - Please set your own booths for Lumia (both WP8 & WP7) & assign one of your Guys per Booth. I really don't know the dynamics of setting up booth at a mall & the financial impact of it. All you need to do is differentiate your Lumia's from others.
    Alternatively you can have a Lumia Van (or Lumia Vans) running around the City with all the possible Lumia's on it for doing Demo's. All Lumia's - since a person can come up to check a Lumia 510 too & not having a specific Lumia means Dissatisfaction for the user.
    Nokia Lumia 920,820 & 620 are gem of a phones .. Hope everything is done right with them in a price sensitive market like India & I hope that Nokia you are listening to a User's opinion here.
    Here's someone who wishes real good things for Nokia. Good luck with the launch of Nokia Lumia 920, 820 & 620. Desperately waiting !!

    Hi slon!
    Welcome to Nokia Forum!
    Let me answer your question in the same manner you have presented it. 
    1. How can I configure networking option for individual application (it was standard option before, see N8)
    - Can you tell me which particular application/s you are referring to? The phone prioritizes WLAN connection over 3G to ensure quality customer experience.
    Example: Nokia Maps - when downloading map data, it would require you to use WLAN as phone would require high amount of data.
    2. Where can I find the option like: Automatic, Always ask, WLAN only when using access to data connection
    - These options are not available on the device. However, you can find some settings that are similar to what you are looking for:
    Settings>Wifi>Tap on Advanced> you will have the following options:
    Notify me when new networks are found
    Automatically connect to Wi-Fi hotspots
    Send information about Wi-Fi connections to help discover nearby Wi-Fi
    Keep Wi-Fi on when the screen times out

  • Nokia Lumia 920 potential battery drain issue?

    Can you Nokia confirm this? http://reach.jdbpocketware.com/topic/128305-to-nokia-ref-lumia-920/
    The issue illustrated in detail:
    Nature of Windows Phone buttons
    Pressing either the power button or the camera button will cause the device screen to turn on, even when the proximity sensor detects proximity.
    [IMAGE http://i.imgur.com/M2to9.png]
    The lockscreen behavior
    Upon power on, screen lights up and shows the lockscreen (or camera), which runs a timeout to auto power off the device if screen is not touched in X seconds. 
    But if screen is touched, the timeout counter is restarted, so continuous touching could lead into a loop, the "death loop" which won't let the device to power off (standby) and will consume battery life.
    [IMAGE http://i.imgur.com/2HNdV.png]
    New touchscreen technology
    The Nokia Lumia 920 comes with a touchscreen that reacts to touch from pretty much any material such as metal or clothes. This can be dangerous.
    [IMAGE http://i.imgur.com/4tbyY.png]
    So here is a theory 
    When the phone is inside a pocket or bag it can be touched by other objects. These objects can press buttons and can touch/rub the screen. This will initiate the "death loop" for who knows how much time, could be minutes or hours, depends on how active the user is since body movement will produce friction between objects/clothes and touchscreen:
    [IMAGE http://i.imgur.com/XMT0y.png]
    The "death loop" will drain battery and battery is precious.
    Solution?
    Should be simple: screen must not power on if the proximity sensor detects proximity. Current version of Windows Phone does not take care of this. The big question is: will Windows Phone 8 take care of this? Is the Lumia 920 a potential battery drainer?

    I don't understand why we have to spend our valuable time in the forums for days and nights to FIND HOW TO FIX THAT CRAB!! NOKIA company did not handout these devices FOR CHARITY.All of us had paid around a thousand dollars to buy this Phone. They have got to work overtime to fix it and publish a solution otherwise recall the devices back.

  • Lumia 920 Locks up after Black update

    I'm using an AT&T Nokia Lumia 920. My phone had been working fine with the Amber update but as soon as I updated to Black it started hanging and acting weird. These are the symptoms:
    1. If I have a device pin setup it hangs as soon as I type in the pin or if I hit the emergency call button.
    2. If I don't have a pin, most apps don't start. They say they are loading but after 30 seconds or so they drop back to the start menu.
    3. It never successfully reboots, I have to use the soft reset key sequence (power + volume down) to get it to restart.
    4. I see missed incoming calls but the phone gives no indication when you're actually calling it.
    Things I've tried:
    1. Soft reset.
    2. Hard reset.
    3. Flash to pre Black using Nokia Software Recovery Tool. (no longer possible since it downloaded the black update this morning)
    4. Restoring backup after hard reset.
    5. Picking all the defaults after a hard reset.
    6. Changing the region on startup after a hard reset.
    7. Changing the keyboard layouts (remove some, add a bunch). This the one setting I seem to be able to get to.
    8. Uninstalled all apps I could (I can't see what games are installed).
    9. Flashed back to Original ROM and updated through Phone Updates, after Black is installed, device locks up again.
    Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this problem? I'm in the US.
    Thanks!

    that's really a bummer.
    I went through the same thing/similar when I updated my 920 to black.
    I had to hard format and use the NSRT to reinstall the firmware completely 10-12 times until it finaly took the firmware correctly.
    other than that, seems you have done everything you could to troubleshoot it.

  • Nokia Lumia 920 - Unlocked - Cannot use internet

    I've been having trouble with my nokia lumia 920, namely with the internet (or rather, lack of it) ever since it was unlocked.
    I purchased my locked Nokia Lumia from a Phones4U store in the UK and it worked just fine with my UK Orange sim card. However, when I had it unlocked (not by Orange. They would not sell me the unlock code because I had not bought the phone from Orange, so I had to go through another route) I noticed the internet was not working. Everything else was fine, apart from that.
    At the time I was in Greece and using a Vodafone sim card. I received a text from the carrier saying I had to download an app for the internet to work, so I clicked on the link they had sent, which in turn would not work because the app I needed to download apparently did not exist. (I had to do the same thing with my iphone 4S and it worked just fine)! I assumed it was because Vodafone did not have 4G so I ignored it and resulted to using just WiFi whenever it was available.
    When I went France I purchased a sim card from Orange in the hope that it would work but, again, I didn't. By this time I had already gone online and had a look for tips (I had done the Settings>mobile network>highest connection speed>3G, in case 4G was not available) but to no avail.
    I really like this phone and would like to make use of it but without internet there's not much I can do. Would anyone have any tips as to how to resolve this problem? Anything will be really appreciated! Thanks in advance.
    Solved!

    When you click on settings - Wifi stupid i know but check it is switched on. Under that can you see a list of connection points. Also can you connect to internet via GPRS
    If above is yes ( as I am sure it will be ) for Wifi. If no for GPRS have you tried inputting a new apn manually.
    Name - Orange Internet
    APN - everywhere
    Proxy & Port - Please leave blank
    Username - eesecure
    Password - secure
    Server - Please leave blank
    MMSC - http://mms/
    MMS Proxy - 149.254.201.135
    MMS Port - 8080
    MCC - 234
    MNC - 30
    Authentication type - PAP
    APN type - Internet & MMS (If no selection available , leave blank )
    Also in settings - mobile network ensure data (first item is set to on and in bottom item network selection (mine was set to automatic). click on setting and it will search for networks. select the one you want , I presume Orange.
    See if that helps
    Maybe with future updates we will be able to modify internet settings

  • Download different file types on nokia lumia 920

    Hi, 
    I recently got myself a nokia lumia 920.. Great phone i must say, however i find this phone is more limiting than the iPhone, or a cheap black berry curve
    Firstly, you cannot download anything from the internet that is not compatible with the phone, for example, .exe, .zip, .dll etc etc. This is the most annoying thing for me, as i constantly need to download software, drivers and tools to copy later to my computer. The other night i urgently needed internet access on my PC, and wanted to tether using my phone, NO USB tether support - HOW LAME!. anyways, i got myself a wireless card for my PC, but did not have the drivers for it... And could not download the drivers using my Lumia. So i managed to get the micro sim working in my old blackberry 9300 curve, and successfully downloaded my wifi drivers. So not being able to download anything either than apps and pictures on this lumia makes it a huge fail, what is the use of having so much storage and high broadband speed on this phone?
    Next is the bluetooth,
    I hate it! cannot define what services to connect over bluetooth... for example: 
    I have a bluetooth enabled radio in my car, and connect my Lumia to it. Works great for phone calls, however if you lock/unlock the phone, type a message or use the phone in anyway, it cuts whatever is playing on my radio and changes it to bluetooth audio mode... Now with my previous phones, blackberry, samsung etc. i could set the bluetooth service to only work as handsfree, and not stream all my phone's audio through to bluetooth. With the nokia Lumia, there is no options when it comes to bluetooth, either on or off - LAME
    And then the magnetic charger....
    Does not work, charged the phone until full, next morning the phone is off - dead flat (6hours after fully charged)
    I exchanged the charger twice already, and sent the phone in for repairs, this problem is still not resolved. So i have been using my old blackberry charger to charge the lumia - lasts +- 1.5 days now with constant usage.
    The nokia lumia has all the basic smart phone stuff - GPS navigation, exchange email supp, sync drive(skydrive etc), USB connectivity and storage, and internet tether - but the limiting options for downloading and bluetooth make this phone less of a smart phone than my blackberry curve. This phone is just pretty, and should only be used by people who want something fancy and limited, or developers that need to test apps on windows mobile 8.

    Did you check the detailed Info of the Application ? Does it mention the functionality which you think is missing ?

  • Nokia Lumia 920 wont open applications and hot

    I've had my nokia lumia 920 for 4 months now and really liking it. In the last few weeks it has begun to misbehave.
    Basically when browsing internet or using apps the back of the phone gets quite hot and then when I try and open things like messaging or people or something lile that I get a black screen with "resuming" displayed and then the it simply returns to the home screen again. The strange thing it does not happen when I am calling someone or someone calls me. It seems apps not opening starts when the phone is getting hot and the only way to resolve it to restart. All this happens within 10-15mins of use.
    I know people have mentioned that some apps causing problems skype being one of them, but i dont have a great deal of apps just the usual stuff facebook, ebay, twitter etc.
    Does anyone else have this problem, is it hardware or software related, like i said my phone has been fine up until a few weeks ago would appreicate any feedback people may have on how to resolve.

    I had exactly the same problem, 4month old 920 that suddenly started playing up. I ended up doing a factory reset (down vol + power, then down, power,down,up or something similar). So no extra apps and the same problems, I would do around 6 soft resets followed by a factory reset a day before I gave in and took it to O2 for repair at the weekend.
    Whenever I got the black screen, (clock top right) and resuming displayed, the battery got really hot. After factory reset the battery cooled down but the remaining percentage had dropped by about 10%. I tried a factory reset and not putting my SIM back in but same deal. The only apps on it were the factory ones so I'm still not sure what causes the problem. Hopefully it will come back fixed and not just have a factory reset.
    If the repair engineer explains what the problem is I will let you know.

  • Nokia Lumia 920 cracked gorilla glass , poor desig...

    Having owned a nokia lumia 920 for less than 3 months and now with a cracked screen id have to say im disapponted by the lack of design consideration for purpose .
    I have owned many nokia phones over the years and have never faced this issue.
    I contacted nokia today confident that they would take ownership and assist as this no doubt will be a problem faced by every owner of the Lumia 920 phone sooner or later . To my disappointment i was placed on hold for 45minutes then told the phone would have to be returned to the place of purchase and then sent to nokia for an unknown period of time for inspection . Realising Nokia was planning to take zero responsibility i offered to pay for the replacement screen and carry out the repair myself . At this point i was told Nokia does not supply or sell replacement parts .
    So what now Nokia ? seriously, talk about wiping your hands of an issue and giving no consideration to those who have supported you ..................
    I assume i will now have to buy an aftermarket glass replacement and i expect i will be buying many of these until i change brands or nokia responds by realizing glass is great for windscreens but not phone screens , although plasic is .

    hi mate,
    have you got the Portico update installed (check via Settings > Phone Update). also check that you are fully up to date with all the latest Nokia system apps in the Store. failing that, you can try soft reset (pressing the volume down and power buttons together until the phone vibrates).
