Nokia lumia storage

Afternoon all,
I'm looking into getting a lumia 635 for a work projects. And have a few questions regarding security and data storage.
1. The 635 has an SD card. What information can be stored on here. And what level of encryption is there for data file
2. If the handset is stolen or lost. Can my information on the SD card be viewed either on a computer or via another handset
3. Where are office and email attachments stored. Are these on the SD or handset only
Any help would be extremely well received

Ya of course i got both beta and amber storage,but the Temporary files wont go down no matter how many times i click...i even do many things just to keep it down lol,now minimum 100mb to 23mb,i refrain myself from using facebook apps,wikipedia..instagram,but not audiocloud,and some games which accumulate data XP
Erm the documents all allocated to the office document storage not at temporary files..it seems accumulating everytime i click download doc,pdf from internet,and emails(cant help it) from 2mb to 10 mb and so on...guess then i would hard reset just to go back to 0.

How to set storage location in Nokia lumia 820 for...

Hi,
I would like to know if and how to define the storage location in my Nokia lumia 820.
I have recently purchased a micro SD card by Kingston and would like to download and install apps, like games who require more storage then my Nokia 820 supports(8GB).
I saw that the only available option set is to choose the the storage for music + videos and pictures from settings/phone storage but no option set could be found for the apps or others.
Please help me with some guidelines or with a proper workaround as I tried unsuccessfully to find the understanding for this in various resources.
Thank you for considering my request.

You can't install applications, Games on the SD Card. Only other thing that you may save on the SD Card is the Maps ..but you need THIS application. Need to log-in using the same credentials that you use on this forum to download it ...

WP8 Nokia Lumia 810 "Other" Storage!

I purchased two Nokia Lumia 810 WP8 phones on 12/31/2013. As of Monday, February 18, 2013 I can no longer install updates, take photos & videos; therefore playing games is also not an option since the phone cannot be updated because it continues to state it's "full" no available space. It does ask if I want to change the setting to save to my SD card which I've configured since day 1. I have a 16gb SD card with 9gb available which I cannot do anything with. I haven't even started paying for our phones and can't even use it. I've deleted many apps leaving me with pretty much the basics, turned off my back up since I ead the back up is saved to the phone, deleted Internet history/browsing, messages, call logs, I have no music and 100 photos...no vidie....seriously, haven't had the phoneslong enough to load up on pics as I typically do. I have 1,600 photos in my iPhone with 6gb available. Has anyone taken this any higher...media, Facebook, Twitter etc?? This is totally unacceptable.

You simply cannot resist it can you? No, you were not “merely stating my experience and reporting what I found”; for if you had done so, I would have no cause to respond the way I did. You added, “Spending a few minutes researching it instead of going off on a rant is usually much more productive”; which implies the questioner does not have a problem, but merely a lack of understanding. Moreover, there is no way that this could be construed, by anyone, as you “not saying others do not have an issue or that there could not be an issue, just that I am not seeing in my case.” By stating that he could have avoided the complaint by doing some research, you are virtually stating that he only requires ‘educating’; and you definitely stated that his complaint was a “rant”. I detect nothing that is overly declamatory, angry or vehement in his original question; though I’m sure he would have some justification for feeling frustrated.
Furthermore, you do not ‘merely state’ your position in reply to me; because you add the phrases, “hampered by any prejudice or negativism” and “someone feels the need to hijack a thread for his own personal baseless vindication”. This clearly implies my judgment is hampered by baseless prejudice, does it not? I have been a Nokia user, non-stop, for over 20 years; and a Microsoft one (and ardent supporter) for nearly as long. There is no-one, I suggest, less prejudiced against either organisation than me; except those who are so ‘prejudiced’ as to see any justifiable criticism as ‘ranting’.
In any event, it seems like "this behaviour makes perfect sense" is not something with which even Microsoft’s Windows Phone Design Manager, Joe Belfiore, would agree.
http://wmpoweruser.com/microsoft-acknowledges-promises-fixes-for-other-storage-issue/
The fact that he is recommending turning off Sky Drive Auto-upload indicates this is not a “baseless” problem; but one based on reasoned, ‘unprejudiced’ observation.
Like many others, it took me only a few days to recognise a looming problem; and we didn't have anyone pointing it out to us. You seem to remain oblivious to it, even with literally hundreds of people pointing it out to you, and right up until Microsoft acknowledged it; though perhaps you feel Joe Belfiore has taken to ranting?

Hi aizat_AxJ,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums!
According to the product data sheet, Nokia Lumia 710 has 8 GB internal memory, of which up to 6.5 GB is available for the user. However, this amount can change depending on the installed updates and applications you have on your phone. If you risk running out of memory, you can always use Skydrive to store your images and other files.
Let us know if this helps,

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.

Memory storage distribution in nokia lumia 710

I am using Nokia lumia 710. I have downloaded 4 games and taken some photos and videos from my mobile. Mobile is giving instruction to delete something and showing full memory. I think it shouldn't happen because it has 8 G.B. Internal memory. So what to do to solve this problem.

Have you downloaded a lot of map data for Nokia Drive? These usually account for a large amount of memory usage. Also clear browser cache, check emails, especially those with large attachments and also messgges.

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.

Data Recovery on Nokia Lumia 800

I recently went on an incredibly moving trip to Poland and took many photos and videos. My Nokia Lumia 800 ran out of battery, so I charged it overnight. When I woke up to switch it on, the memory formatted, which meant I lost so many important photos and videos. I only pressed the on button so I am at a loss as to why this happened. I have arrived home and have researched the ways I could possibly recover these life-changing photos with recovery software (since I did not have access to the internet at the time, it did not sync with SkyDrive). Is there possibly a way I could reclaim these overwritten files? I have done the 'regedit' process, so my PC can recognise it as a device independent of Zune, though it only comes up as a 'Portable Device' in Computer, meaning the recovery software doesnt detect it as a memory store from which it can recover data (ie. Removable Storage Device) . Any thoughts as to how to fix that?
Thank you for reading, and I hope to hear a reply as soon as possible.

Unless you have made a backup of the photos or synced them to skydrive I am afraid there is no way to recover them.

Nokia Lumia 1520 video recording on Microsd card i...

First off, I have a Nokia Lumia 1520 for about one month now. I love the screen size and everything. My picture/video recording to phone memory works fine. I have recently purchased a Class 10 Sandisk Pixtor 64GB microsd card from Best buy for video/pictures storage due to this device having only 16GB of memory.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-pixtor-64gb-microsdhc-class-10-memory-card/1299201.p?id=12190475...
Picture taking is fine writing to this card. However, I noticed that on all video recording mode (720p to 1080p), the video would sometimes skip and lose a few frames here and there. For example, when i try to record a video of a kid running, the video playback will show the kid run across but would jerk or freeze a bit during his run (almost like the phone is too busy doing other tasks during recording). Playing the same videos on a computer show the same result which means the video taken were bad to begin with. My temporary fix is to switch video/picture recording to the phone storage itself but that defeats buying the sd card in the first place.
Anybody else having this issue? I couldn't find another microsd card to test but i wonder if the phone itself is having a performance issue with sd cards in general. Should i engage with tech support from Nokia?

It is quite well known that Class10 card are overkill on a mobile phone and in many cases have been proven to actually have worse performance when compared to even Class4 cards.
Class10 cards really only make sense in (high end) DSLR ca,eras where itis a requirement the shots can be written to the card fast. In practical use the class only indicates the card cab sustain a transferrate of X MB/s and with that in mind a Class4 card even will be plenty fast for your mobiel phone.
Due to the fact a Class10 card is basically overspec for the hardware it may even cause timing issues.

Nokia Lumia 1320 does not recognize media files properly

Hello
I have the following problem with my Nokia Lumia 1320:
media files (either music or video) are not recognized properly and therefore seen in "other" section of Storage.
There has been a discussion here a while ago here:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/042cc9fb-ea9e-444c-98f0-8c1d0930e326/sd-card-problem-with-my-nokia-lumia-1320-unable-to-use-it-properly?forum=winphoneosissues
But my problem is in fact that media files are not recognized even on the phone itself which is very surprising.
I have tried several ways to copy the files over:
- Win Explorer on Win XP
- Win Explorer on Win 8
- special app on Win 8
with the same result.
Moreover, sometimes the files are not read by the official Music app with the following odd errors:
- 80070002
- 80070003
Even more problems occur with the SD Card:
some files fail to be transferred there and disappear after the phone restart. I have tried the ways above to copy these files with no luck.
I have also tried both hard and soft phone reset, formatted SD Card via phone and PCs.
The problems described still persist.
Does anyone have ideas/ways to fix those problems?
The phone is really nice but it's pretty annoying to meet these problems.
Interestingly, my previous WPs (HTC 7 Trophy and HTC 8X) didn't have a half of the problems described above. Bad luck...
Details of my phone are:
- Nokia Lumia 1320
- OS: 8.10.12393.890
- Region Set: United Kingdom

RAM on nokia lumia 800, 512 or 363 mb???

Hi, I've bought a new Nokia lumia 800. The amount of RAM for this device is 512 Mb. but all the free app that displays the main information of the device that I've used indicates that total ram is 363 Mb and not 512. The device itself don't have the option to see the ram, in the "about" information you can see only the free storage that is 12 Gb. The free app indicates that I've total ram 363 and free ram 341 Mb, how can I be sure of the real amount of RAM. Is there a free or not free app better than mine that discover the real ram.
Thanks.

Thanks adrianhughes,
I was almost certain that it wouldn't be possible that my phone has 363 mb inspite of 512. But it's always better to doubt because the phone was in sale, I paid 199 €. But the fact that the free apps also don't reveal the real amount of free storage space that is 16 gb, it may be a signal.
Agai thanks and by.

Micro SD Card for Nokia Lumia 1020

I work in a photo printing lab and over the years technology has changed in many different ways. Customers have moved from the old film cameras to digital cameras. But now they are moving from digital cameras to phone cameras. This move is because of the improved image quality.
I was very excited to hear of Nokias new release the Lumia1020. The image quality of the 1020 has far surpassed anything else on the market. This was the phone that I've been waiting for.
But as I work in a photo lab and deal with many customers with many different types of camera phones. I see the difficulties most of them have with printing a few pictures. Bluetooth is very slow. Using a cable works only 5% of the time. infrared doesn't work anymore on most of the new machines.
But 50% of the phones use SD CARDS. Its simple, fast and the most efficient way of printing your images.
The phone that I've been waiting for, the Nokia Lumia1020, does Not use SD CARD. I hope I've received the wrong information about this phone. For me it is essential to actually print the photographs that i take. And without the use of an SD CARD i would find it difficult to do this.
If the Nokia lumia 1020 specifications are correct. Then I'll have to wait a little bit longer to upgrade my phone. If anything happens to my Nokia N8. I'll have some serious decisions to make.
Can anyone prove me wrong on the Nokia lumia 1020 specifications?

jimmyireland said:
"Not strange at all that lower end support sd .Built in memory vs sd card is all cost."
I still would say that a more expensive line should be worth the cost since as customers we are paying a premium for it. So although it is "all cost" customers deserve more since we are paying more.

"Most memory cards are mounted internally which requires removing the back cover and in most instances the battery."
If Nokia would put their minds to it Im confident that their clever engineers would be able to provide a hot swapable solution somewhere externally at the same time make it look good and not interfere with usage ie needing to take battery out. Woulnt this just showcase another of Nokia's engineering prowess?
"I can upload my pictures to skydrive..."
If you were to take many hidef pix, movies etc, how long would it take to upload to skydrive as compared to transfering an sd card onto your pc? Or even putting in a blank memory card a making immediately available huge numbers of GB?
"Removing a memory card to transger data is old school"
I have to go the other direction. Adding memory card support only adds more fuctionality to the phone. Adds more room to install apps, add more room to store music, vids that you can keep with you. Adds the ability to add virtually unlimited storage to your phone. And dont forget the cost of data from your network provider when your away from your wifi.
Scenario I like to have my phone stocked with the apps I like. Now this uses some space. I have pics and vids of nice memeories I like to keep with me on the phone and I like to keep a lot with me thus reducing the fixed storage of the phone. If Im outside taking pictures/vids, the more I take the less my avaliable storage becomes. Isnt it a very practicle thing to do that I whip out a memory card and viola 64GB of storage without needing to shut off the phone.
Now isnt that a big plus? If more space does not equal a plus then why would MS charge you more for more skydrive space? Its because its a premium. You might say "how on earth are you gona use all that space on the phone and on skydrive?" Years ago people also thought 200GB was massive for a HDD. You will find a way to use it. And if you cant use that space others will.
