Nokia Lumia 928 Texting Problem
Just upgraded to the Lumia 928 (white) yesterday. A few hours after getting home with the device I realized I was not receiving text messages. I began to troubleshoot to the best of my knowledge. I can send/receive calls, send/receive picture messages, and send texts. The only thing I can't do is receive texts. I have had two friends both attempt to send me texts multiple times with no luck. I plan to go back to verizon today for their assistance, but was maybe hoping someone else in the forums was having the same issues. Any ideas?
Thanks
Hi there Lloyd,
I had the same problem with my new 928. Doing a complete shutdown and restart fixed the issue for me. I held the middle button on the phone until the shut-down dialog opened, used that to power down and restarted about a minute later. I've had no issues with text since doing that.
Hope this helps you (and that you are having as much fun as I am with the totally awesome phone).
Regards,
Andy.

Upgrade from iPhone 4 to Nokia Lumia 928; texts from iPhone contacts no longer coming through
I just upgraded from an iPhone 4 to a Nokia Lumina 928 last week. I was forced to make the upgrade because my iPhone's charging port broke (due to normal wear and tear), and could no longer be charged. I was unable to acquire a replacement prior to the phone dying completely, and as such, I was unsuccessful in resetting the iPhone.
I am unable to receive texts from any iPhone users, period. We have tried deleting my number as a contact, resetting the SMS and iMessage settings, deleting my number and unregistering my device from iCloud and Apple, and I am still not receiving messages. These are standard messages, without pictures.
What is the solution?Your phone isn't the problem.
Your contacts may be using iMessage, which can only be used with other Apple devices.
Turning iMessage off resolves the problem. -
I've recently been having this problem with my Nokia Lumia 928, I was doing a reset (Factory Reset) on my phone when I've been on spinning gears for a few couples last night. Waited and nothing, so I looked around and tried find other solutions.
I did the soft reset/hard reset but all I've been getting is the low battery, I plug it into the charger for a good 30 minutes + But still won't turn on and still saying it is low battery. I tried doing the resets again but basically all I'm getting are the two, spinning gears and the low battery. Also, while it's charging it randomly go'es to the spinning gears.Dear Juan,
Try this... taken from another forum... it really works:
=============================================
After spending 8 hours trying to recover from spinning gears following a hard reset, of all the methods I tried, this is the one that worked:
-Phone was showing spinning gears
-Battery was low
-Took Sim card out
-I logged into find my phone and erased my phone using the on-line feature:https://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/my
-Let it sit for 1 hour then turned it off
-Press and hold the Volume down & Power buttons until the phone vibrates then release the power button but keep pressing the volume down key for approximately 10 seconds until you see a low battery on the screen.
-If you don’t get the low batt and you get the Nokia lego then press the following buttons in this order;
--Volume UP
--Volume DOWN
--POWER
--Volume DOWN.
-Your phone will now automatically reboot and try again till you get the low batt
-When the low batt shows up do nothing, it will turn off by itself
-Let sit for 1 hour and turn back on
-Press and hold the Volume down & Power buttons until the phone vibrates then release the power button but keep pressing the volume down key for approximately 10 seconds until you see a low battery on the screen.
-Plug your phone into the charger when you see the low batt
-If you don’t get the low batt and you get the Nokia lego and go back to the spinning gears of death then press the following buttons in this order;
--Volume UP
--Volume DOWN
--POWER
--Volume DOWN.
-Plug your phone into the charger when you see the low batt but not till you see it
-Now press the following buttons in this order;
--Volume UP
--Volume DOWN
--POWER
--Volume DOWN.
-Your phone will now automatically reboot it will show the spinning gears again but within 10 mins it will start up as a new device.
=============================================
Kind regards,

Nokia lumia 928 sms call back number
My wife and I both upgraded to the Nokia Lumia 928. since we have, our text messages to each other are followed by "call back at" and then it gives the phone number of the person calling. Called verizon tech support and they said that it is a feature that is sent from the "nokia" phone with your text message and that there is currently no way to dissable it from the sending "nokia" phone. Has anyone figured out how to get this to stop?
I concur with rayhipkiss. The only way I can call back the sender of a text message I've received is to tap on the name or number of the sender when viewing the text message. This is using an unbranded UK-CV Lumia 1020 and an operator branded Lumia 920.
I'd guess that that it is indeed something that your operator has added to their custom variant of the 928.
Do you see this "call back on" after messages sent to you by someone on other networks, and to they see it on messages that you send them?

I have a Nokia Lumia 928 and the ##634# brings up the lifetime counter and color variant page not a diagnostic tool for the light sensor.
Moderator's Note: Post was moved and amended the title.Those diagnostics have been removed from latest WP7.x updates and are not available on WP 8.x either.

Nokia Lumia 928 apparently died after an attempted Windows 8.1 update. Replacement phone arrived the next day. How can I restore my contacts, photos, etc.? Backup assistant is no help and I don't know how to access the Cloud.
Did you have the phone set to backup things to the One Drive on Microsoft servers?

Nokia Lumia 928 (with the Denim WP 8.1 update) compatible with PTT Plus?
Why does My Verizon say my Nokia Lumia 928 (with the Denim WP 8.1 update) is compatible with PTT Plus when it emails the link to download it it says it's for android??? Can someone clarify?

the phone is almost 3 years old they may not update it.. But then again there are suprise around every corner sometimes. People with the 830 are waiting for an update also.When the update came out the phone was about two years old. Now we expect GDR2. On the Microsoft update page there are seven AT&T Lumia phones. There would be eight but the 830 is no longer listed. Did AT&T have it removed ? Only three of these phones have the Denim update available, that is 37.5%. Is AT&T even trying, I don't think so. The same models of phones all over the world have been updated. Now WP10 is coming up. Microsoft says they will update WP10 directly, no carrier in the middle and they say it will be available to all phones and only phones running Lumia Denim, OS version 8.10.14219.341 or higher can be upgraded. So, the phone has to have at least Denim before you can update.Will Windows 10 update be available for my Lumia phone? We bought two 920's from AT&T in 2012. Wife is still using hers and I replaced mine with a 1520.3 last year. It has Qi wireless charging and 32GB memory, not the AT&T version. We no longer have a contract and never will, using 'bring your own phone'.The other 62.5% of the Lumia phone users with AT&T probably feel the same way. -
Nokia Lumia 1520 having problems with Voyager Lege...
I recently purchased Nokia Lumia 1520 and I am having some problems with Plantronics Voyager Legend. Before 1520 I was using HTC Radar 4G with Plantronics Voyager Legend and I don't have any problems. The problems that I am having are, when I am on a call using the Plantronics Voyager Legend the voice of the person will automatically switched between Plantronics Voyager Legend and 1520 through out the entire conversation back and forth. It does read all my text messages without any problems. Another problem is on my HTC Radar 4G once I turn on the Bluetooth under setting Bluetooth stays on even after I reboots the phone. On 1520 after rebooting the phone Bluetooth is off automatically by the Windows 8. Why does it do that? Are there any workaround or fixes for my issues
My Voyager Legend firmware is up to date. This Voyager Legend works with all my others electronics without any problems. Problem with Nokia Lumia 1520 only. I think the problem is 1520 Windows 8 OS. I am waiting on Plantronics to contact me but looks like I am at the bottom of the list. Does anyone know why after rebooting the 1520, Nokia Windows 8 OS automatically turn the Bluetooth off in setting, under Bluetooth everytime?

Nokia Lumia 928 MMS issues on unlocked device
I'm a Finnish guy and using Elisa as a carrier.
I got the chance to purchase unlocked Lumia 928 with a decent price so I checked its specifications (GSM Arena site) and also found out it could be used internationally.
It seemed to be a brilliant phone (and it sure is) so I purchased it.
But now I'm facing the problem with the MMS messages. All settings are just OK and I can send MMS messages successfully but I cannot receive them. The phone announces that "you've received a message which has media content" but when I try to open the media content, nothing happens.
This seems to be quite common problem (at least when I'm reading those most popular Windows Phone discussion forums) but I haven't found a solution to it. Someone has just said that because the phone is made for a particular carrier, it has "specialities" in its firmware. Well, the phone uses same MMS settings for sending and receiving MMS messages so how come MMS messages won't get thru to my phone correctly? I'd also like to know how the MMS firmware settiing are different between Lumia 925 and 928???
And most of all I'd like to get a remedy/solution to fix the problem from Nokia/Microsoft people Thanks a lot in advance!Well, I suppose that even though Verizon has ordered these phones from Nokia, all the settings, applications and characteristics were preloaded to the phone at the factory. So in other words Verizon would've delivered preconfigured things to Nokia before the manufacturing process and would not start to fiddling around (=to install all the setting, apps and characteristics) when they received the phones from Nokia.
Therefore someone in Nokia/Microsoft must know the differencies between the stock firmware and the Verizon firmware, especially if we're now talking about these MMS issues. And I wanna know it. If I'd ask the same question from Verizon, they probably would not know the difference between those aforementioned firmware.
It's not rocket science, I guess it's just because of those preloaded/-configured differencies between the stock and the Verizon firmwares... -
Hello, I've just bought a Nokia Lumia 520 and need some help with texting.
I sent a message to all my old contacts giving them my new number.
I sent the text to 25 people but only 2 acknowledged it. My mother was included and she was in the room and did not recieve it.
Is there any chance it has not sent to everyone? How do I correct this?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Did you have enough balance? Also check Sms calling center number in settings under messages.
It takes time when you send sms in bulk, sometimes it fails. Try sending it in lesser numbers like 5 or
10. If it fails its most likely to be service providers problem. -
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!

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:

My Lumia 928 Didn't Show Me Update Notification And Whenever I Try To Search For Update From Setting It Says That My Phone Is Up To Date But I Don't Have The Lumia Black Update ; My Brother update his phone from first day ! can you help me plz ...
Solved!
Go to Solution.@jode Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions.
Can you tell us the current firmware version number of your phone? To check, you may go to Settings > About. Do you have a stable Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection? You may also try activating and de-activating the Airplane mode under Settings. Also, check if there's an update for the phone system apps. See this: Lumia System Updater And then, try again.
Let us know how it will go. -
Nokia lumia:shrink storage problem
Does anybody unable to use their shrink storage application? mine would just close itself wherenever i tried to open it... :/
This is for your Nokia Lumia 520, correct? Is the internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data) active? Are you able to browse the web with no problems? Suggest uninstalling and then re-installing the app.
As it seems that you're having issues with the Storage of the phone, suggest using this app: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/lumia-storage-check-beta/c2adc981-83c2-4f19-8161-67149e4...
If the system apps and the phone's software are all up-to-date, suggest using Storage Check under Settings of the phone as well. -
Hello everyone, this is my frist post on here. So i bought the nokia c3 and unlocked it from the vodafone network. I use my 02 sim now. I just discovered something that annoys me and need help getting rid of it.
My problem is that after every text send the phone virbates letting me know that i have sent the text and my balance comes up. how do i change the settings so that this doesn't come up. Really annoying as i've just got a new number and sent out a mass text to everyone. The phone vibrated for like 2 minutes straight!!
Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.At the phone store where I bought the Nokia C3 they removed the Vodaphone presets ( since I have another provider ) and they also updated my phone with the latest software available ( see below ).
But now I have a serious texting problem!
If you type the Q you get an A , a=q , z=w and w=z .
Also after you typed something and you delete the text and reopen the textbox again this word will reappear on a blue underscore?? Anyone any idea what's happened or had the same problem??
The phone's update info:
C3-00
V04.45
04-08-10
RM-614
Variant: 00.00
Vitual variant: No Virt. Var.
