Nokia Lumia Contact: problem entering alphabet in ...

There are two very serious limitations with the Nokia Lumia 800, so far as the contact entry is concerned:
1. It doesn't have the back cursers, it only has a back space.
Problem: If you enter a number wrong at only one place, or say miss a numeral, you have to type the number from beginning.
2. it doesn't allow to enter the alphabet in the contact number
Problem: If you dial on a bridge like Webex etc, then there is a dial-in number ( generally a long) and a passcode. After you type the dial-in, an announcement will come requesting passcode, but in the old Nokia phones ( and also in Blackberry), you could introduce a pause between the dial-in and passcode by some alphabet : say 'P', 'X' etc.
Fortunately the NLM is compatible with the old Nokia phones, so if we enter 'P', it acts as a temporary pause, so the whole dial-in + passcode can be entered in one go, and you don't need to refer this every time to join the bridge.
But as the NLM-800, doesn't allow alphabet entry through the device we have problem.
If a qwerty keyboard can be provided this can act as a solution,as the phone already supports the feature, also the back cursor ( moving back without erasing the content) will also come.
Can you fix this in the next release.
Also any workaround for now, other than using the Microsoft Live ID?
Thanks

When controlling the cursor with your finger, its better to move your finger downwards a little bit so that you can still see the cursor without the cursor moving down another line. If you move your finger down slowly to the next line while the cursor is activated then the cursor should still stay on the line above where you can see it clearly.
The cursor will snap to the beginning of each number or each letter if you move it slowly to the left or right, until it jumps to the start of the next letter.
You use the comma " , " to insert a pause, and use it after entering a space. For example if dialling number 123 then you need to pause and enter 456, you type 123 ,456 <<< so there is a space after the 3 then a pause using the comma sign.

Nokia Lumia (928) 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.
=============================================

Nokia Lumia 920: problems when playing videos on p...

Dear All,
thanks to this great support community website, I will b hopefully able to solve my prob.
Description:
my nokia lumia 920 has got the latest Win8 firmware and Lumia Amber update ( with 3 UK) but when trying to play videos on my win 7 pc's,
the actual video is corrupt or does not work properly,ie sound and slow immage processing.
I have the latest win 7 codec pack on pc and tried apps like VLC,ITunes,Windows Media Player,Nokia Media Player,Nokia Video Converter and others without success......not sure what's wrong but video were ok with my old Nokia N8......perhaps the format is not recognised??????
The fact that the pc plays the video means that format is not an issue but the quality is just terrible,video and sound.
I used both the WP desktop app to sync and dragging and/or dropping file with no difference at all.
DESPERATE,PLS HELP!!!!!!!!
Any suggestion is very much appreciated......Many thanks in advance,
Rgds, DD1

Camera resolution is low and can’t change resolution (Nokia N8 has better)
Lumia 920 is 8Mpix, N8 is 12 Mpx, that said please elaborate. I am pretty sure that you will not be able to tell which phone took a shot if I show you one and don't tell you which I used.
Navigation (Here drive + beta) not comes with traffic updates and not giving alternate routes. Yeah traffic update is in the maps but there’s no point in there (Nokia N8 has better).
HERE suite of apps is relatively new and constantly being updated. I'll come
NBA live streaming No App. And flash player not support. (IOS and Android has it) not on N8 also.
Flash is dead, not available anymore for any up to date OS. Talk to the developer of an app on bringing it to WP8
Alarm won’t work when the phone off (N8 will turn on and works)
Your N8 is never really off
Keyboard not comes with arrow (<>) keys. Can’t type a missing letter between a word, have to delete the word and type the whole thing again.
tap and hold in textbox, cursor appears, move finger (while holding) to where it needs to go
Music player app can’t close. Just pause the song.
There's an app if you feel you must remove the player. Last I checked when paused playback is stopped.

Nokia Lumia 520 problem with internet

Hey
My girlfriend bought today a nokia lumia 520 from an internet shop.
Now she is installing it and it seems to have a problem.
So our netwerk is 'telenet' where we have an abo wich include 1gb internet.
She installed everything like it has to, APN and stuff all ok.
Now she cannot connect to the 3 or 2g netwerk on her phone, it keeps saying we have to put 'roaming' on.
If we do this, the internet goes, but i dont think that is how its supposed, maybe she will have to pay a lot if she does roaming. While we actually dont need it.
Can you help us with this problem?

Nokia Lumia contacts

Hi, this might sound stupid, but how do you add phone numbers on the Nokia Lumia 920 without it asking for it to be linked to a hotmal account I've added onto my phone? I just want to have a phonebook on it to make calls from, that wont bring up details from my hotmail contacts.

You can always register for a new hotmail or live account. That way.no contacts will be imported.

Nokia lumia 920 problems

Hi,
I bought my brand new Lumia 920 just 3 days back and following are the problems.
1. Music is not stoping if you get call when phone is in silent mode.
2. If you hold back button you can see back ground tasks, but you cant kill tem.
3. For saving a contact you need to go through difficult steps. I don't know why it is asking name in different section rather than in same section where it is showing the name.
4. Screen. Rotation. Is very poor for many applications like youtube etc.
Thanks,
Balu

If you do not want to sync contact with Google just remove the option in Settings >email+accounts>Google
The idea of the phone being in silent mode is that it does not interrupt anything on the phone. IMO it would be weird if it did. You put incoming calls on silent for a reason.

Nokia Lumia Melting Problem

My 1020 melted around the charging port. This happened whilst using original charger. Bought the phone in the US (AT&T - and it is under warranty) but warranty only covers continental US and I live in Tanzania. A quick web search shows this is happening with other Lumia models too.... and some would have even caught fire. Very frustrating, worrying, and do not know what to do!
Solved!

Hi, josephcarasso. @93tid is right. The best course of action is to contact your local Nokia Support for further assistance on this. For the meantime, I suggest that you do not use the phone to avoid any further harm. Keep us posted.

Nokia Lumia Contacts issue

basically I bought this phone today and put my contacts on it. When someone texts me It comes up with their name, but when i click peopleit comes up with 'all' but then doesnt display any of my contacts. The only options are 'set up account' or 'import SIM contacts'. I can only search for the contacts using the image of the magnifying glass..it then shows the contacts when I search the persons name.
How do I get the contacts to come up under all?
thanks

Sounds like you have contacts filtered.
Go to People > options(...) > Settings > Filter my contact list and enable all available there.

Nokia Lumia 521 problems

I'm having a few issues with my phone and I want to know if this is normal behavior for this type of phone. I noticed that when I turn my phone off the screen seems to stay on just with nothing but a blank screen and this only happens sometimes so this is why I'm concerned

I can relate to having problems with ur Nokia phn..i purchased the Nokia Lumina 521 3 months ago, the first 30 days was great, I even talked a close friend into buying one a cpl days after I bought nine..after the 30 days past I noticed my phn productivity slowing down. I did the troubleshoot and cleaned out my aps n storage. I was wondering if I was the only one having the troubles with my phn n asked my friend what she thought. She began telling me how pissed she was with this product low n behold we were both having the same issues here almost 2 months n the problems grew for both mine and hers. The phn began to get altogether slower until still today it freezes up on n off thru use, it closes out aps or sights I am in without warning and shuts itself off. It is very frustrating to have expected so much more from a highly recommended phn. I purchased a 2 yr warranty plan upon purchase of the phn, I filed a claim yesterday and found out yes my warranty covers these issues but I have to send the phone in and b without a phone for 10-30 days until repairs can b made. I am outraged at the fact that due to factory default on theses Nokia Lumina 521 phns I am being asked to go without a phn! After all of the problems I have had with this horrid phn I wld have thought a replacement phone wld b offered during repairs or even to be offered an upgraded version of the phone my friend was also told the same thing about her phn. Sadly she was forced to buy a new phone because she runs a business and needs phone accessibility for her wrk. I just expected way more out of the Nokia company to right there mistakes. I do not think the problems u r experiencing with ur Nokia phn is normal and I think it wld b good for u to address the problems about the phn with the manufacturing company and ask for a replacement! An upgraded version for all the disruption and trouble with the phns. I wld also encourage anyone else that is having issues with there Nokia phn to bring it to attention so ppl dnt have to continue to b ripped off or go thru these problems if its addressed it is possible for the company to fix the problem and improve there devices. Thanks for letting me rant n rave, just a very angry customer and feel very ripped off!

Problems:-
1. Music pauses automatically.

Feels like i have wasted a lot of money. Kindly requesting to provide me with some solutions ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, ckishore4 and kamleshKK.
Make sure that the headset is properly inserted. You may try to reformat the SD card, but make sure to save the files on it. If that does not work you may also try the steps provided here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/mobile/support/faq/?action=singleTopic&topic=FA141447. About deleting the temporary files just go to Settings > storage sense > phone/SD card > temporary files & then tap delete.
Let us know the outcome.

Nokia 5700 contacts problem

I have a 5700. The other day I was editing some contacts using the PCSuite software, and at one point, when I was trying to save a contact, it said that it can't complete the operation. So I closed the program. But, upon disconnecting, when I tried to edit the contact using the phone, they were all blanks (the 20 or so contacts that were open when PCSuite gave me that error) the rest of the contacts being fine. I can't open, edit, or delete the broken contacts. When I tried using PCSuite again, it wouldn't show me any contacts on the phone, and when I press Refresh, it says it can't complete the operation.
Anyone else have this problem?
I would appreciate some advice. Thank you.

I have a similar problem and I know others have posted similar complaints with the 5700 and other phones. I OCCASIONALLY can get it to work by pressing Loudspeaker then pressing Handset again. Often, I just end up turning off and on again (I guess this is the equivalent of 'rebooting'). This always does the trick for me.
Hopefully the first firmware update will help this.
Hi
So you are tellin that the first SW upgrade is still didnt make for 5700.
Then wait for it man.
I sure it will fix (not so) lots of issues.
