Wipe on Lumia 800 generate recurrent reset

Hi,
I wrongly did wipe my Lumia 800 (059M359).
From there, everytime I configure my device, and begin to transfer more data to it (like 2, or 3 GB data), it freezes... and when I restart it (just pressing power button), it comes back totally empty (like a hard reset).
Not surprising, I found another guy who has exalt the same problem. The only difference is that he has initiated the wipe on Windowsphone website, and me at OWA website.
I took the device to the Nokia Care Point last Saturday, got it today, where they have updated firmware and OS version. But, again, when I started uploading data to it, it stopped working again, and I lost all my daily configuration.
What should I do next?
Thank you,
Alessandro

Hi Mineirinh0,
Thanks for your posts and welcome to the forum.
I would like to advise you to return to the Nokia Care point and ask for them to flash your Lumia, not just update the software. This will however wipe it clean and remove all personal data so make sure your have a backup by syncing media files using Zune and your contacts and calendar(s) to their respective accounts.
If you want to contact Nokia directly on this please contact Nokia Care through phone, mail or chat (where available). Contact information for both Nokia Care and a Nokia Care Point can be found using this link. These forums are mainly a user to user support forum, please see the forum guidelines if you have any questions on using the forum.
Hope this helps, let us know how you get on.

Lumia 800 automatic factory reset?

Hi
Had a very strange experience with my lumia 800 and I hope that someone can explain me what happened.
I connected the phone to the charger and laid it down.
After some hours I picked it up without pressing a button. I saw for two seconds the keypad to enter the security code, afterwards the screen was black for 20 seconds and then was for one hour the nokia symbol on the screen and the phone got pretty warm. After this hour the phone started like after factory reset and all settings and data was lost.
Does anybody have an idea what happen with my phone?
My phone data
HW Version: 112.1402.2.4
Firmware: 1600.2487.8107.12070

Battery after hard reset on Lumia 800

Hi
A few days ago i did a hard reset on my Lumia 800. Since that everything was great, the only reason why i did it, to restore the default settings. After that i updated the firmware to 12070 via Zune. Since that day, my phone doesn't really know how much percentages are left from the battery. Sometimes It's showing a consant value for a long time, then suddenly begins to drain, and after a few it stops. It often happens, that it shows a value, and after an hour it shows a higher value (in percentage) than beforehand.
Today I let It to discharge to 0%, and then i pluged it to the charger. When the phone turned on, it showed me 5%.
It's lifetime havent changed so spectacularly, but i guess its a bit shorter with the same usage.
Is this behaviour normal after hard reset?
Thanks

After update my lumia 800 is failing to recongnise earphone. It keeps playing music on speaker. If I restart my phone then for few mins it is playing music in earphone. But after few mins once again music playback is starting through speaker.

Thanks in adv,

Lumia 800 continuously resets

Hi,
I bough a Nokia lumia 800 31 days ago. Today it started to turn off and back on every 16 seconds (after bootup has completed).
The battery indicates that it is about 50% charged. I have tried a number of thongs but it keeps on happening. Any ideas of what could be wrong?

Pull out your sim card holder and put some tape on the back of the card to make it slightly thicker.. only slightly.
See if that sorts it.

Lumia 800 Bricked - Please Help!

My Lumia 800 has bricked itself this morning. Like most of you I've been having the well-documented battery and wi-fi issues. I got the "stuck wi-fi" issue again this morning and in the past had powered off the phone to resolve it. Well - my Lumia won't power back on again.
Have tried charging, connecting to Zune and pressing and holding the power key for 10 seconds. Been in this state now for about 3 hours to no avail. I've e-mailled Nokia, but am off on holiday on Tuesday for 3 weeks, so I think I'm basically phoneless until the new year.
Does anyone have any ideas, or know of any other secret key combinations to jump the thing into life?
Thanks in advance.
Mark

i have a pretty brick too. nothing seems to be able to revive it.
i know this is digging up an old thread, but i was trying to re-purpose my old Lumia800 as a spare phone on a sim only deal from a different carrier, given that my current (vodafone) carrier is useless.
so. story time.
plugged in the 800 after being in a box for the past year or so. gave the battery empty symbol so left on charge. came back a couple of hours later, and nothing on screen. can't get the phone to boot or anything. however, holding down the power button and then releasing generates a vibrate, then a few seconds later, and shorter vibrate.
same for power+volume down buttons. so it kinda seems alive. left it overnight on charge.
this morning it was sat on the lock screen, and unlocked it. the homescreen buttons work, as in they show being pressed on the screen, but don't do anything.
got to work, downloaded the Lumia Software Recovery Tool. at this point i don't care if i wipe the phone. the software updates itself to version 5.0.5, and downloads the software for the 800. its about 415meg? version 1750.0805.8773.12220
the recovery then seemed to be working and doing something on the phone, and it looked like it needed to reboot the handset to do the next bit.
only the phone has not come back on. the powerbutton/cam button, and volume down buttons hold down and release trick seems to not do anything anymore, and my PC is unable to detect the handset as being connected to the usb ports? have tried multiple ports.
the software "wating for connection" advises hold down power and volume down buttons untill vibrate. no vibrate.
looks like it really has died this time.
any advice gratefully recieved.

Lumia 800: IE and XBL crashing.

So, recently my Lumia 800 had a battery issue. It wouldn't start or charge. Also the flash of the camera had always been broken, it just didn't flash. So I took it to a local service, and they fixed it. Now, when I got it back, everytime I try to enter a website with ANY browser, it just shuts down the browser. Also, when it asks about sending your surf history to Microsoft (first time browser startup), that screen only shows for a second and then crashes.
Now, after a day of using my phone, also the Xbox Live crashes. I can't even open it. It does the start animation when I click the icon, but instantly shows the closing animation. And it came just suddenly, I played some games 15 minutes backwards and then I try again - crash.
Oh and they updated it to the newest version in the service!
Any help before I have to take it to service again? Don't want to do another week with a no-3G phone.
Solved!

Hi bacon800,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums!
We're sorry to hear about your problems. The crashes you are experiencing may be caused a failed installation of the update. What you can try to do is to reset the phone. It will wipe all data off your phone, so make sure to backup all the pictures, music etc. you would like to save. To reset your phone go to Settings > about > reset your phone, it will restore your phone back to the "out of the box" state.
If this does not solve the issue, we would advise you to take the phone back to the service and let them have a look.

Lumia 800 Internet Explorer

Whenever I try to open internet explorer on my lumia 800 will say it's loading then return to the start screen it will let me in the odd time but mostly it won't. Everything else works fine I can go into pages via Bing and apps work fine. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi bonabona86,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums!
It may be that your Internet Explorer or one of it's components has been corrupted somehow. We would advise you to either reset or update your phone. To check if your phone has an update available, navigate to Settings > Phone update. If an update is available, you can update your phone on Zune. Updating will (unless it is just a firmware update) re-install the phone software, including the Internet Explorer and it's components.
To reset your phone, navigate to Settings > about > reset your phone. This will, however, wipe all data off the phone, so it is first advisable to fully synchronise your phone with Zune and make sure that all your contact and calendar entries have been saved on your Microsoft account (ex-Windows Live ID). Note that all SMS messages will be lost, as there is no way of backing them up.

Dark Knight Rises Lumia 800 - lost content, please...

Hi guys, I was wondering if any one could help me out.
I've got a Nokia Lumia 800 Dark Knight Rises edition device and had to reset it. This meant that I lost all of the exclusive ringtones, videos, wallpapers and downloadable content that was present with the device, and in the settings and about phone section it lists the phone as a standard Nokia Lumia 800, as opposed to a DKR edition one.
I thought that these extras would be baked into the ROM, so I didn't think that a full reset would wipe any of it.
Is there any chance at all that I could get this stuff back, either through flashing a Dark Knight Rises ROM onto the device, or if anyone can share the content with me on here, that would be great.
I know it's a long shot but I thought I'd ask any way.
Thanks for your time and help.
Solved!

As this is a movie promotion "The Dark Knight Rises" will appear in Windows Marketplace > Nokia Collection in your region in due course. In the USA & UK it was released for the Lumia 900 last week and is now available upon 800 and 710 in UK at time of this post being tied to release of film as you can see upon this screenshot:
AFAIK this will replicate the material that was pre-loaded upon your device.

Nokia Lumia 800 won't charge, stuck on loading scr...

My Nokia Lumia 800 ran out of battery while I was at work (not the first time) I take it home and plug it in, after 20 mins of the red battery screen it vibrates and springs to life, but it never got past the white 'Three' welcome screen (one of three screens that flash up when the phone is first turned on, others are Nokia screen and Windows screen).
It's been charging for over 10 hours and it's still stuck on that white screen. The phone feels cold (not stone cold, but not warm either) so clearly it's not charging. I've tried a different charger, different plug, and plugging it in to the computer. When I unplug it, it dies after 20-30 mins and I go through the whole process again the next time I charge it.
When I plugged it into the computer it behaved very strangely. It rapidly connected/diconncted itself, not giving Windows time to recognoise the device was plugged in and install the driver software. Before evneutally diconnecting itself and going back to that white screen.
What's wrong with it? It's not the first time it's totally ran out of battery (although I don't let it happen very often).
The phone is only 4 months old!
What do I do?
Nokia Care on Twitter was useless, asked me to do soft resets (already tried, many times, the phone turns off briefly, vibrates, then back to that white screen).
If I have to send it in for repiars how do I do that? I live in South West England, my nearest Nokia Care store is in central London, several hours away.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
The white screen it's stuck on looks just like this: http://www.techwatch.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Three-Logo-235x276.jpg

You should contact the nokia care point and they will organise the device to be collected.

Nokia Lumia 800 - Stuck on 'Connect to PC' screen

Connected the Lumia 800 to my macbook air using the proper Windows Phone app on the mac. Phone connected no problem, backed up all my photo's and videos onto my macbook. Noticed there was an update available for the phone so I updated.
Towards the end of the update, the phone reset itself as expected and then failed to reconnect to the macbook. The phone was never physically disconnected at any point throughout this process.
The Windows Phone app asked me to connect my device and my device had the 'Connect to PC' image on the screen. Both were connected to each other. I left it sit for approximately 20 minutes and nothing changed so I restarted my macbook and again, nothing changed.
I disconnected the phone and tried a different USB port and the Windows Phone app appeared to attempt to connect for a split second but then stopped, no errors or anything.
I've tried a hard reset on the phone (wolume down, camera, power button) and again, nothing. I've let the phone battery go completely flat, again, no difference. I try plugging it into a direct power source to charge, guess what, no difference.
Right now the phone is sitting here, 'Connect to PC' image stuck on the screen, not connecting to anything. If I hold the power button for a few seconds, the phone vibrates, the screen goes black and after about 20 seconds the 'Connect to PC' screen reappears.
I have honestly tried every combination possible. At this point I don't care if I lose all my contacts and messages, I just don't want to be left with a brick.
Any help at all would be appreciated.
PS: I don't have access to a PC so I'm afraid that option is out. MacBook Air (less than 6 months old) and an ancient Ubuntu laptop but that's it.
Picture of "Connect to PC" screen attached.

Lumia 800 Wifi crashes

I have the Lumia 800 purchased from Phonehouse, France with Orange as the provider.
My Wifi seem to crash (gets automatically turned off) after 4-5 hours. If I then goto Settings - Wifi, it becomes unresponsive and shows a black screen. I have to restart the phone to get the Wifi working again (it actually resarts with the Wifi turned on.).
I have already applied the available update, but it doesn't solve the problem.
TIA

There seems to be a problem with the energy-safe-mode: Sometimes the Lumia thinks you are still @energy-safe (although there is no checkbox activated) and therefore wont let you toggle Wifi.
Some people reported that switching the lumia and/or the energy-safe-mode off/on solved these issues... a hard reset surely did it for me.
personally, I experienced the bug two times, since i deactivated energy-safe-mode afterwards, i havent experienced again.

Lumia 800 - can't use headphones

Hello here,
My name is Adel and I would like to get some support for my Nokia Lumia 800.
Basically the problem is that headphones don't work with it, the phone doesn't recognize them.
I checked for dust, nothing.
I resetted it, nothing.
Tried to get to an earlier version of windows phone? Nothing.
Tried to change headphones, nothing.
Sent it to Nokia local store, after two weeks, i got back my phone with headphones finally recognized by the phone, but it was a short glory, one day later, the same problem is back. No headphones can be connected to the phone. And, I used the headphones that were given in the box when i bought the phone.
I really have troubles finding a similar solution over the net, feels like I am the only one in the world experiencing this issue
So guys, I would really appreciate if you could help me fix it please.
Thanks and regards,
Adel Blackburn.

Let me also add that when the headphones are plugged in, the sound comes out from loudspeaker.
Just making sure. thanks

Hi
Sorry to hear about that. Firstly have you tried resetting your device by holding the volume down, power button and camera button together for 10 seconds to force the device to restart. Give this a try and see if it helps. If not then try plugging your device into your P.C and start up the Zune application and see if you are able to restore your previous firmware on the device. If none of this helps then you may need to visit a care point which you can find the nearest location on the below link:

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!
Cheers

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:
