Text messaging Lumia 820

Hi,
I recently used my phone with global roaming.
While overseas i cracked my screen.... DOH.
Got it replaced (non genuine)....
But now i recieve text messages in the home page preview but they dont appear in my inbox.
I send messages and other people recieve them but they do not appear in the message thread..
Is there a setting that has been changed by mistake with my cracked screen or does my phone have a deeper problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i am considering upgrading if i can not find a fix.
Cheers Lee

You may first try a Soft Reset by Pressing Power + Volume(down) keys until the phone vibrates (about 8-10 seconds). See if it makes any difference. If not, try a Full Reset by going to settings-->about-->reset your phone. If you do this all your data and installed applications will be wiped out which you can get back / re-install (without paying again for any paid ones..) by setting up the device with the same Account that you used earlier.
If problem remains, you need to get the device inspected at Nokia Care

How to view photos in a text message on Lumia 900

I just got the Lumia 900 and when I am sent a pic through text messaging it says "Get media content now". I click that and after a moment, it vibrates and makes a sound but nothing else happens and the picture is not in my album. Can someone tell me what is wrong at all?

Have you enabled data as pictures won't download without a data connection. If you have enabled data then it's to do with your settings for MMS for which any number of things could be causing a problem either the phone or your net work provider, try searching MMS settings. You could try running the famous "Network set up" app.

Lumia 820- receiving/sending calls and texts is te...

Hiya,
I first realised this last night when I couldn't send or receive calls, despite having full signal and the capability to access data via 3g. After waiting for my phone to dial out for about 2 minutes, it finally managed to connect a call, after many dropped calls.
This morning has been the same, and I have not been able to send and receive text messages also. Unusualy, a couple of times after I have turned my phone on and off again I have been able to make a single outgoing call or send a text, but soon after it stops working again.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Emily

Hi Emily
Which network SIM card are you using? Is this issue visible wen using the same operator SIM card in another device in the same place?
One suggestion from my side is to check for a firmware updates for your device. For that please connect the device with available Wi-Fi networks in your area and update the device firmware over the air (Settings>Phone update>Check for updates>). Please make sure to have the battery having enough charge before start updating the device.

Nokia Lumia 820 issues after Lumia Black update...

Before updating to the Lumia Black update:
1. Was able to connect the Nokia Lumia 820 to my home PC using Windows 8.1 and it was able to see the device and files on it as well as sync music from Windows Media Player to the device.
2. Was able to connect to the Nokia Lumia 820 from one of my Office PCs using Windows 8.0 and was able to see the device and files on it.
As well as to manually install Windows Phone 8 applications or install the Windows Phone 8 applications via Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate from either PC.
After the Lumia Black update, Neither PC can see files on the Nokia Lumia 820 nor can any application send files to the Phone's Memory Card or Second Memory Card. (SD Class 10)
Very frustrated with the Lumia Black update. Lumia Amber worked just fine.
I haven't changed anything as far as I know on my Nokia Lumia 820 device to cause said issues nor have I abused the device in any way.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Thank you,

Simply wanted to add 3 new audio tracks to the Music files via Windows Media Player but cannot even connect the device like it did less than 45 days ago when everything was working properly.
All my music files are on the SD Card because the file space needed is more than the 7.3 GB on the base memory for the unit. (Something like 8.1+ GB at the present time of 29.8 GB... which is the formatted size of the 32 GB SD Class 10 card.)
When the Nokia Lumia 820 is connected to my home Windows 8.1 computer, Windows knows about it but cannot finish the handshake to see the device and the 2 memory areas on the device.
Have to determine which programs that I have installed after the initialization that I want to restore.
The problem at the moment is that turning off the unit loses ALL Music Album Data but the songs are still there. This seems to have been caused by Lumia Black Update but not sure if that is true or not.
Have a lot of stuff to backup before resetting the device. Perhaps could upload everything to SkyDrive / OneDrive then restore the data after a full reset of the device.
I have all my cell phone contact data backed up but would like to backup all text messages too.
I have 2 custom applications that I have developed but are not yet setup using the Windows Phone 8 Development License as released products... that will be done soon.
Cannot backup the latest pictures on the phone... not many since the last backup but there are pictures that are not restorable that I would like to keep.
Would rather not have to do a complete reset but may have no choice.
Thanks,

Lumia 820 MixRadio Oxicash Subscription Activation...

Hi,
I have a Lumia 820 which I bought last year in February. This year in Feb '14, my 1 years unlimited music download subscription expired.
I bought a coupon for Rs. 281/- from Oxicash for a 3 months unlimited download subscription. However, when I try to redeem the voucher purchased, I get the following message:
"There was a problem registering your phone for your unlimited downloads subscription. Try again in a moment - if the problem continues, contact Nokia Support."
I called the Nokia customer care and was asked to do the following:
a. Change my country to India in Text+Speech,
b. Delete MixRadio and reinstall
c. Delete my account from Nokia Account in Settings
I have done all the above and it still does not register me.
Please advise.
Thanks,

Hi musica,
I have only provided the alternate email id yesterday to Nokia Cutsomer Care. I guess they should complete the association in about 48 hours. I will confirm with them tomorrow and then try it out.
If nothing else works, I guess I will have to reset my phone and hope that works. From previous posts I am given to understand that once an account has been associated with the IMEI number, one cannot use another account
Nokia must get past this limitation as some people would like to pass on their Lumia to an offspring or some one else and that person then cannot use the Nokia Music service which is a very attractive feature of the Lumia range. I have used an Android phone, but am in love with my 820.

Hi,
May be some one can solve this one for me, everytime i connect to my car bluetooth i get a text message buisiness card from a friend of mine that he may have sent to me at some point.
This happens every time i connect - i can also make it happen by going to messaging/options and selecting sim messages. I get the same text.
I have removed everytext from sim card and inbox and sent item and it still happens
I recently did the upgrade by doing the thing you are not to mention and upgraded to v2. While im not blown away by the update i would like to thank Nokia for a much much better bit of stable software and i look forward to further updates.
Anyway it was backup/ hard reset/ upgraded/ hard reset and then the messages restored- it has happened since this restoring.
The text message appears as a new message from my firend, correct number and everything.
Please help its driving (no pun intended) me nuts

How do I get my text messages from my android fascinate to my htc one m8 windows phone....???

just purchased and received the new htc one...was using a samsung galaxy s for a few months before my contract ran out...my original nokia lumia 920 died and I reactivated the galaxy....now I have the text messages from october and earlier but I can't seem to get the 3 months of text messages that are on the android.....there is no cloud or transfer app (by verizon) for the new phone...only the old galaxy has the apps...go figure, I could get the app for my old phone but not the new phone...lol
Bill

Transfer My Data doesn't work to grab them from your Android phone? That bites... I thought that was a fairly new app for Windows Phone that was supposed to make it easier. I had to take old texts and paste them into Word to upgrade from Windows 7.8 to Windows 8. Tedious, but when you gotta save em... Shoot, there was one conversation that was so long, I just broke out the video camera and started scrolling them on the phone so I could get them later. Yea, I was that intent on getting them.

If you mean MMS Message,
Open the message
Select options
Scroll down the options menu to "Objects"
select objects and it should show the MMS files (The text and the images)
open the images and save them.
they can then be printed from the photo browser or copied to your pc for printing

Maps disappeared from settings in my lumia 820

Please help me to recover maps in my settings on Lumia 820. I can't use here maps or here drive anymore. Thanks for any help.

Hi, wonderwhynot. Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions! What were you doing with the phone before this issue started? Are you receiving any error message? What troubleshooting steps have you tried to solve this? BTW, where are you currently located & where did you purchase the phone?
Have you tried to reboot it? Press and hold the volume down & power keys? How about uninstalling & reinstalling the apps? Make sure that your phone has the latest software update:

Lumia 820 Music Sync issue.

I installed 16GB micro SDHC card into my Lumia 820 and set as default for music and pictures. I try to sync music between my mac and phone. But the end of the sync, error message comes up which says all the music can't be copied. When I check the storage section on my phone. Music and video shows 0 and seems like all the music is in "Other" section. Couldn't see anything under "Music". Tried Google and can't find any solution. Please anybody can help me. Thanks a lot.

I have also experienced the same issue and wasted about 4 hours of my life yesterday attempting to deal with it.
Music syncing to SD is horribly broken on the 820, on both 1232.2109.1242.1001 (original) and 1232.5951.1249.1003 (portico) firmwares.
I have ended up in a state where I have had to factory reset to fix the mess on 2 occasions now, on both original and portico firmware. This issue is definitely not fixed in portico.
For some obscure reason, particularly when using the desktop sync app, if it fails and tries again the music app gets very confused and displays an array of duplicates. If you perform an SD card format whilst in this state, the music app still 'thinks' that some of the music is still there and displays it as such. The only way to fix this erroneous display is to factory reset, which is far from ideal.
A workaround to the duplicate issue is to *not* use the desktop Windows Phone app, which seems to be horribly broken.
The Metro app often says that it 'Cannot copy the file to your phone' but it actually has without any issues, go figure.
I also noticed that some SD cards simply don't work properly in the 820.
I firstly tried a brand new Samsung 32GB which intermittently stopped working when syncing, dragging and dropping, and downloading on the phone causing the store to refuse to open necessitating a reboot.
I'm currently using a Transcend 8GB which does not exhibit that problem.
I tested the Samsung on my PC and it works fine, but I returned it to Amazon as faulty and exchanged it with a Sandisk 32GB, so I'll see what happens with that when it arrives I guess.
I don't know if this is a Nokia issue or a Microsoft issue. But someone needs to step up and fix this, because a 'switcher' from another platform will return the device immediately.
I've been a Windows Phone user for some time (Omnia 7, Lumia 800, then 820), but seriously, this issue was really making me consider my choice of platform.
Music syncing to SD *needs* to work and it needs to work reliably.

Backup text messages

i have a lumia 800and have been trying to setup my hotmail account but it appears that there is a conflict between my hotmail id and zune id so i cannot get the phone to add my hotmail account.
my problem is that it seems the only way to resolve this is to reset the phone which in itself would not normally be a problem however the issue i have is that there doesnt seem to be any way to back up or transfer text message threads.
i have several important threads that i need to refer back to by timeline etc.
i simply cannot believe that whoever developed the software missed out the ability to transfer or backup such an integral part of any phones usability.
perhaps most people consider text messages as throwaway or disposable and i concede that a lot of them are by nature but surely there are a lot of poeople who at some stage need to check their texts to verify an agreed appointment or task?
why on earth can contacts,photos,videos etc be 'synced' with the zune software and not text threads?
i would admit that i am not the most technically minded person in the world but i can usually get my head round most things - given time, but this one has got me flabbergasted.
pleas someone restore my sanity and if not give me solution at least give me reasonable and logical explanation.
thanks

Unfortunately it is true for wp7.5. Thngs are slightly better for wp8. Only suggestion is to copy and paste messages and save as note or doc.

Nokia Lumia 820 battery

Goodevening,
I have the impression that the battery of this smartphone is inadequat.
I just did the test :
- no apps running
- no calls in or out
- no messages in or out
- no search on internet or whatever
The smartphone was 100 % loaded and 24 hrs later, it only shows 40 % !!!
This means that if you are a quit busy user of the smartphone, this means that you have certainly to charge your battery every day, even when your smartphone is new.
What kind of **bleep** smartphone is this ??????
Regards,
Karl
