Window explorer problwm in lumia 720

I have Nokia Lumia 720. The problem is related to the drop-down menu on websites. When I open a web page in internet explorer on my mobile and click the drop-down menu of the web, the list that drops down immediately rolls up and it do not stay enough to click an option. However the bar-menu like "=" works properly. I have updated the amber to Lumia Black even then the same problem stays.

Did you update to WP8.1 ? If so, the Keys combination is now changed to Volume Up + Power key ..

    There isn't one and there won't ever be one due to the sandboxing in this Microsoft OS.

  • Lumia 720 YouTube live streaming problem

    I've problem in playing live YouTube videos in Lumia 720 even im using a wifi connection..... Error : sorry, video cannot be played on your device

    I am having the same problem with all three windows phone 8 devices. Videos on youtube play fine on 3G/H/H+ network status. But fails to play while connected through wifi. I have set the preference in internet explorer browser for mobile version of webpages. 
    On cellular network when I type youtube in bing and searched, it automatically sends me to the mobile version of youtube. I searched for videos in youtube srarch window and the results also open in mobile page format. so playing a video from there is not a problem.
    Over wifi connection I searched the same on bing and as usually landed on mobile version of youtube page. Upto this everything is fine. But when i browse for videos on youtube page surprisingly it redirects me to desktop webpage format and never redirects to mobile page and in desktop version of youtube, most of the videos (almost all videos) will not play without Adobe flashplayer.
    The same problem is occurring for all of my three windows mobile 8 devices.
    I think this is a "nasty trick designed by youtube" to receive (steal?) information what kind of networks as well as devices people are using and behave that way, irrespective of the fact that I am using a mobile phone, they will treat me as viewing videos in a desktop computer.
    Nokia and Microsoft must look into the matter seriously and should provide us a solution.

  • Lumia 720 lacks in options.. WP 8 really needs mor...

    Got this lumia 720 on monday, initially got a defective one, but got replaced.. now after few days using it, i find tat it lacks in so many options..
    1) there is no copy paste or forward option in texting( SMS, whatsapp)
    2) not able to group the applications under menu,
    3) I had bad time in synchronising contacts from my nokia c5 to lumia 720, but later found a way and got fixed..
    4)ter is no option to create a folder to save important sms,
    5) not able to save places ( favorites) in here maps directly, we need nokia acct to synch... ovi maps were lot better...
    6) no file explorer.. If you wanted to store private pics or data, you can, but need a pc or laptop to explore them again..
    7) background apps dont run always,
    8) more browsers and anti-virus need to added to the app store
    I'm not a big app fan, but I use the basic apps tat are necessary..  My nokia c5 was extremely easy for customization and you can do whatever you like.. but windows lacks in many options...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    1. Try pressing and holding the message you want to want to forward or copy. U should get options for deleting, copying and forwarding the message
    2. Latest windows phone OS 7.5, 7.8 and 8 do not allow creation of folders.
    3. Creating a nokia account is necessary if u need to use nokia maps. Please do the needful, nokia maps are good and can even be used offline if you download the maps u need.
    4. Starting from winphone 7.5, there has been no file explorer provided. This is for security reasons.
    5. Winphone OS 7.x and above does not truly multitask. Rather it uses a pseudo multitasking method. Apps get suspended when placed in the background. Plus no more than 5-6 apps can run if placed in the background.

  • Problem with store app, lumia 720

    hi
    i bought lumia 720 few weeks ago, and because i can't download apps from the windows store directly (cuz i'm from syria), i have to download them to the laptop then move them to the SD card, and later open the .XAP files from the store app.
    the problem is that THE STORE APP ISN'T WORKIING, it keeps saying "service unavailiable right now. Check back in a little while".
    so now i can't download any thing on my lumia and this sucks
    plz help..

    Hi, Adeptbe. Thanks for posting your concern on our community. Does the issue occur regardless of the connection you are using? Does the date and time of your phone are properly setup? Check it by going to Settings>date+time. Also, try checking if the Microsoft account on your phone is syncing properly. Do it by going to Settings>email+accounts>press and hold Microsoft account>sync. If you encounter any error message, you may check it in here: Common Windows Store error codes. Let us know if you need further assistance.

  • In Some part Touch is not Working in Lumia 720

    I got my lumia 720 three months back.
    It was working fine.
    Suddenly day before yesterday my 3 touch keys(back,search,windows) didnt work.
    So i reset my phone.
    And after that i found that, From bottom to about 2.5 cm touch is not at all working throughout that area.
    Please help me.
    After reset two options ll be there. Emergency call and get started. M not able to select any. Because it is within that area where touch is not working

    What reset did you perform? Is this by going to Settings > About? Did you also try to press the down volume and power keys together for 10-15 seconds?
    If the touch screen is completely unresponsive, sending the phone to a Nokia Care Point is what I'd suggest.

  • Issues with 32GB micro SD with Windows Phone 8 and Lumia 810

    I bought 32 GB micro SDHC card (Sandisk) that causes issues such as:
    (1) tap Settings - then blank screen - then go back to Home
    (2) when shutting down WP8, it says "goodbye" forever and it does not go away. I have to detach the battery.
    (3) Occasional freezes - need to do step (2) to force reboot
    (4) Go to music > songs, causes OS to freeze
    (5) Go to music > albums, select one and cannot play - OS freeze
    I have huge library of MP3 and WMA that I want to keep them in the SD. I did it in 2 ways:
    (A) 
    Attach the micro SD (with adapter) into Windows PC, copy music folders to SD with Windows Explorer.
    (B) Attach the micro SD into Lumia 810, connect it to Windows PC. Windows detects the hardware, then using Windows Explorer, copy he music folders to Lumia 810 > SD card > Music.
    When I tried (A), 5 above issues came up. WP8 reported the SD card was corrupted. I run chkdsk to fix the SD card, but the 5 issues persisted after I inserted the SD. I formatted the SD card, and repeat
    (A), but the 5 issues persisted.
    I tried (B), then the copying process stopped in the middle. Windows Explorer reported error cannot copy file XXX. Then the 5 issues came up again.
    I am running out of ideas. What's wrong? SD, Lumia, or WP8? What should I do to have huge music files on the phone? Sorry, I can't play from the cloud.

  • Lumia 720: Mix Radio revised the Nokia Music 1 yea...

    I have a Lumia 720 which lost its Nokia Music free subscription of 1 year in 6 months.
    IMEI No: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    Contact No: XXXXXXXXXX
    I would like to know the reason behind revising and free music download subscription to 6 months without any notice. When the phone was bought, free subscription was given for an year.
    Moderator's Note: Personal information provided were edited out. Please do not publish any unique serial number/contact information in a public forum.

    Dear Nokia, please confirm "Lumia 720: Mix Radio revised the Nokia Music 1 year free subscription to 6 month" is this quoted is true? Please Revert. My phone is just 6monts old. Now I am getting pop up "Activation Problem : .....see attachemnt" Its very disappointing and shocking that one of the encouraging features in Lumia720 (Nokia Mix Radio) suddenly stops working instead of providing service for 1 Year. Initially this sudden seizure spoiled our mental peace, forcing us to try re-installation and discussions until I read some comment in Support page. We never expect such from Nokia/Windows, at least we would have given an intimation!! A reply most appreciated. Best Regards, D_Navada

    As advised by other members of the forum, it will take a couple of charge/discharge cycles for the battery to be stable.

  • Lumia 720 camera won't start

    After some camera&pictures related updates (maybe Photobeamer) Lumia 720 camera stopped to start.
    When trying to open camera it opens quicly and returns back to main screen.
    Soft and hard resets are done. Does not help.
    Is this sw or hw issue?

    Hi:
    My camera worked for about a week, then it stopped working.  The exact problem:
    Both of the cameras (front and back) will open but when I touch the screen to take a photo, the software crashes.
    The phone returns to the menu window.
    If I try to take a picture with the button, the focus light comes on if I partially press.
    But if I completely press the button to take a photo, the software crashes.
    I have done both a soft reset (volume down and power until it buzzes and a complete reset (reload the software). 
    The camera continues to crash.
    Please give me some advice, I cannot return the phone to the original source as I am here in the USA  and I need the phone for work.

  • Support for Lumia 720,820,520,620

    Hi,
    I do understand that lumia 720 is year old device. But you haven't yet run any promotional offers for the device. Like in case of 525,1020, 1520 and 625 etc you had Gameloft games or Vouchers for buying apps.
    However this isn't in the case for 620,520,720,820 etc.
    Also I volume button doesn't work anymore. Every time I goto the service center / Nokia care, they don't have parts available apparently. This HURTS.
    This has been going on for a month or so. Why is this happening?
    Can I get some INFO?
    Thanks!

    rohoit2013,
    Welcome to Nokia Discussions!
    The reason is that Windows Phone devices, including the Lumia 520, does not support native Java.
    Hope this clears

  • Lumia 720 Screen Flickering/Jumping

    About a month ago, my lumia 720 was suddenly started flickering. I tried all the possible ways to fix it including
    1. Soft Reset
    2. Hard Reset
    3. Make touch sensitivity to normal. 
    4. Auto adjust brightness off. etc
    None of them worked at all. Then Finally after 3 days of suffering, I got an idea. I removed the screen protector and then I realized the problem got solved. I was very happy.
    But after a Month now the problem came back. Its now even more serious. I tried all the steps previously did and all failed.
    Isn't there any possible solution except going to Nokia Care? Because the problem does not occur all time.. so even if i go to nokia care, i may not be abble to show them the problem.. Plz Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi, PelicanPils.
    The Nokia Software Recovery Tool is only compatible with Windows 7 OS or newer. Are you able to use it?
    Your phone has one year manufacturer's limited warranty. After 12 months, you will be charged for any repairs from any Nokia Care Point. It is your discretion if you will continue with the repair process or not. To know more about the Nokia Manufacturer's Limited Warranty, see this: http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/guides/WC_B9229743_EN_1.pdf. 
    If possible, you can also visit a different Nokia Care Point for a second opinion. To locate one: http://www.nokia.com/in-en/store-locator/.
    If you have other questions, just let us know.

  • Lumia 720 screen freeze

    Hi my new Lumia 720 sometimes freeze up and only way out is a reset..... Any tips please? Is this a known issue? Is there any fix update planned to be released?

    Hello Musica,
    Thanks for the Prompt Reply.
    I'll explain in neat how this happened.
    OCCURENCE 1:  The first day
    1. I purchased my mobile on April 20'th, which is just 2 days after it was released to stores in India.
    2. That day night i just tried Wifi, contacts, people hub etc and was going well till then.
    3. I wanted to change brightness settings so, i was checking auto, low, high etc. I set it to Low, Then Locked the phone using the button on the side. After a minute i wanted to open up the Camera by pressing on the shutter button (when the phone is still in the locked condition). I did not see any camera opening up. I then tried to Unlock the screen and it dint. I tried almost everything, volume  up, down etc.. nothing happened. 
    I tried to connect the USB cable to the Phone and access it through laptop, and gracefully i saw that the folders appearing on the browser. Hence i confirmed that the phone had power supply and some part of it is still running.
    Please note that this just happened as i said 1) change screen brightness - changed few times between options, and finally settled down to Low 2) Locked the screen 3) Tried to Open camera by press and hold Shutter button of camera.  -> Thats it after that i was not able to see anything on the screen.. The screen was clear Black and even the windows and other two icons below did not glow for any operation i did.. 
    I had to reset the phone to get something on the display back again.
    And clearly to say that - This Problem is not re-producible in the same way again.
    OCCURENCE 2:  4-5 days later(This time luckily i dint want to restart, plase read below)
    1) I was in the "settings" menu searching something on the settings. I think i set the wifi on and came back to the settings main view.
    2) assuming wifi was on, i wanted to go back and open browser, so i press the back key and nothing happened. Still the settings menu was showing up. 
    3) So i thought it was stuck and tried to click something on the settings. Neither a touch nor any sort of selection was not accepted. instead the screen Freezed in the same Settings menu.
    4) NOW, i just randomly tried few moves on the screen just to try wake it up. And i found a glimpse of LOCK SCREEN coming down from the top (i think) in a slow motion (unusual than the normal appearance). 
    5) Now i have the lock screen infront of me, and i slowly slide it up as usual. The phone was unlocked and then i had the settings menu there which now resumed working.
    This was strange to me as a Software Programmer to realize why the lock screen appeared on the fist place and why was the settings menu first was not responding.
    Please note that this time i dint have to restart the phone luckily.
    OCCURENCE 3:  Seven days later after the purchase
    1. Installed photosyth. Took a photosynth capture
    http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=0b887c2e-aa42-4491-9c60-4d0fd43e6356
    2. If you see this photosynth image, in some place you will note a Green Color like coating sort of a paint on just the left of the church View. It sort of covers the leaves like a thin green Film. 
    3. Please note - that was the last frame i shot in the Photosynth lens before i continued to stitch. 
    4. Stitching complete and the image was just as you see in the above photosynth Link. 
    5. After this i wanted to use camera normally, and when i do so, i see everything as "that green color" which appears in the photosynth image that i mentioned.  i closed Camera and opened it again from the start menu, and NO... Still it was the same green. I wasnt able to see any objects that i aim. Fully green.
    6. Left with no options, but in a hurry to take a picture, i had to restart the device..
    These are the just three occurences that i had during these 10 days after purchase. 
    I tried hard later on to test the device by trying the same things, but never happened. I am particularyly bothered ONLY about the issue 1 & 2. Third issue is definely because of PhotoSynth causing something. May be it didnt flush anything out of the camera buffer memory.. or dont know what exactly made that green there in the image and later on the full viewfinder...  
    The device otherwise works exceptionally well and hence i dint want to immediatly go and check with Nokia Care, because the problem was not perfectly re-producible. 
    ==> What do you think? I certainly feel that it could be a software issue with 1 & 2? 
    1) Would you be interested in some logs in case the issue occurs again? 
    2) If the issue occurs again, and i just take the phone immediately to Nokia Care, should i suggest something to them on Your behalf so that they dont try to diagnose something wrong? Because if they reset it, reproducing the issue is hard. 
    3) Do you think i would need to ask Nokia Care to run any diagnostic tests for "this specific  issue"? Do you have such a test available & instructed to all Nokia Care Engineers?
    Please suggest.  Rest all things in the phone are fine and its absolutely smooth. Even if i exchange, i dont have guarantee / rather convinced that this issue will popup again in the new phone (if at all). So i want to know the root cause before i exchange so that it does not appear again in the new phone.
    Thanks,
    Binny.
