I should be getting my AT&T 950 today while at work. I'll have some time on break to play with it, but won't have WiFi. I don't want to use a ton of my data downloading a bunch of settings, I'd like to get most of the updates done at home when I am on WiFi.
Am I missing something or does the Lumia 950/Windows 10 Mobile camera have no close up setting? In the past, as with all digital cameras, there was a "flower" icon that allowed the camera to focus on close up objects. I can't find said icon and the camera struggles to focus on anything close
I have a Lumia 710 and have run into a problem with the latest version of Nokia Music. I am from the US, but am working overseas in Russia. My Phone language settings are set to English US, but with the recent Music App update, the program itself displays English, but all the Mixes are showing in Russian. This wasn't the case with earlier versions. Please make sure the app does not override the language setting with location based language information for those of us working/living in different countries.

total smartphone newbie here, seriously considering the 1020 but had a quick question. If I want to use my wifi instead of cell data, is this the correct setting?
Defining Internet Connections:
On the Start screen, swipe left Tap "Settings" Go to "Wi-Fi" Make sure that "Wi-Fi networking" is enabled Select the connection that you wish to use
To use a mobile data connection:
On the Start screen, swipe left and go to "Settings" Tap "cellular" Switch "Data connection" to "On"
I wasn't getting any traction on this when I posted it on the sticky bug defect page so I figured I would try a new thread.
I have had my 950 for about a month and a half and I really like it except for the issue I am having with WiFi. When it connects it gives me message that there is No Internet Access. And if I try something like web browsing I get an error because the phone is trying to use the WiFi connection instead of the Cell connection. This happens in multiple locations. I have this issue about 90% of the time and rebooting the phone fixes the issue about half the time.
So my Nokia Lumia 1020 was upgraded to 8.1 via Preview for Developers a few months ago and Wi-Fi/Cellular data was fine. I updated to Lumia Denim at one time and for some reason, Wi-Fi did not work. I tried using the Windows Phone Recovery Tool 2.1.1 and Wi-Fi still did not work. Then I downgraded from Denim to Cyan, and Wi-Fi still didn't work. I tried the Windows Phone Recovery Tool (same version) again, and Wi-Fi did not work.
In addition, I tried adding my Wi-Fi as a hidden network. Still didn't work. By the way, my Wi-Fi is WPA2-PSK, and I have AES encryption.
So here are some specs of my Lumia 1020:
OS version: 8.10.14226.359 Firmware revision number: 3051.50009.1451.1001 Model: NOKIA 909 Carrier: AT&T Software: Windows Phone 8.1 Update
I want to get either the 1020 or the 1520 but they are at&t exclusives. Can I get a lumia 1020 or 1520 without a plan and use it WiFi only like an iPod touch. Is a sim required during the start up process? If a sim is not required, will I be able to use all the preloaded apps and get updates even if it is not activated with a wireless network?
Nokia Lumia 1520 heat up when surfing to WiFi? Lets say about 5minutes. Beside that,when surfing to Facebook,when I clicked to the image that I wanted to view,the picture would not show the entire pic but partially.
As of this morning I have not been able to connect my AT&T 1520 Lumia to my wireless network. Last night I did the Denim upgrade via the same network. Android tablets and iPhones having no issues connecting. Have restarted the router, verified MAC Address. Deleted MAC from access control. Disabled all security (made it an open network) and it still will not connect.
Whenever I start or receive a phone call, my tethered laptops lose their internet connection. They still show a strong wifi network connection, but cannot access internet sites. Nokia support and my AT&T store say this should not happen and does not happen on their phones. I have the latest update, as of yesterday.
There is an app for android phones that prevents the phone from locking when it is connected to "approved" wifi or bluetooth connections.
Is there something like this for my Lumia Icon?
This allows me to keep it from locking while in the car or at home and then when disconnected it goes into the lock mode based on time frame selected as in when leaving the car and no longer connected to the bluetooth.
Having to enter the PIN every time I want to access the phone at home ( after time out ) is a pain. I would assume the app would be able to "disable" the lock timeout function when connected to specified wifi or bluetooth connections.
My new Lumia 1020 was connected to wifi when I began setting it up. I got a data usage warning message the next day, so I made sure it was still connected to wifi - then I got another warning message advising me more charges were being applied to the data plan. I called ATT and explained and was told that the 4GLTE runs all kinds of stuff in the background that uses data and to turn the data off. I did - since then, no more data usage - however - it will not stay connected to wifi after a time out unless it is plugged in. It still shows that its connected to wifi but its not.
I have a 1320 that I got brand new back on Black Friday from Cricket. The problem is after it has been on for a while, the wireless and/or bluetooth or both shutoff. When I bring the status bar down, the wireless icon and/or the bluetooth icon will be cleared out and not active. If I try to turn it back on, nothing happens, the icons stay black. I reboot and usually that fixes it but not always. Sometimes I have to reboot it a couple of times.
Also my phone sometimes reboots when I'm using the GPS to track my bike rides when the phone is in my bag. I know that because when I get to the end of my ride and check the app, Cyclometer, it stays "it has been shut off, do you want to resume" or something to that effect and then I resume it and a portion of my ride is missing from when it apparently has rebooted. I also have had it reboot on me in the middle of something that doesn't happen often.
My phone is on 8.1 and has no more pending updates. this is eating up my data plan because I normally use wireless at home. I also can't use my bluetooth speaker while riding because if I connect my bluetooth speaker to my phone, the bluetooth will shut off after about 15-25 minutes of use. It first starts to become somewhat intermittent for couple of minutes then bluetooth shuts off altogether.
I am using Nokia Lumia 1020. It has been having a trouble auto connecting Flight Mode. I can not use my mobile as a result of that. It connecting automatically WIFI connection as well. I can not off both Flight Mode and WIFI manually as they connecting automatically.
I'm trying to get access WiFi from my iPhone 4S but after my username appears, it asks for my password. Which one?? The password I use to access the Internet?? I'm not sure which password it wants since this is the first time I try to use WiFi.
I thought I read the feature they were adding was that you could toggle it so wifi never went to sleep, or hibernate, whatever they call it, so that IM apps and texting apps on a Touch could stay active. I'm seeing what I think is the Wifi on all the time, and I'm now getting alerts from Beejive when someone texts me, but I see no setting anywhere to turn this off. Is it simply on with no option to turn it off?
I bought my phone from Amazon (unlocked version) and as such I dont have the T-Mobile factory software installed.On my old phone I could specify to pick wifi over mobile network.
Anyway to force 3g setting only on lumia 920? although 2g and 3g available, it keep using 2g even after setting higher network to 3g. Is there any update or apps to force 3g only?
I have a display dock and it is useless because every five minutes I have to get up and interact with the phone because there is no lock screen setting for "never". So if I listen to music for instance, it stops after five minutes.
I'm unable to properly set up either of my Gmail accounts. My Yahoo and other Pop account are fine, but with Gmail the password changes to a longer set of characters, and only one/no emails load/s.I've tried deleting the accounts and setting them up again, to no avail.
I'm setting up a new 9900. I have a cryptic 63 character wifi passphrase that I would like to paste into the field, but there seems to be no way to do that. Is there a work around other than by manually typing it in?
I'm trying to turn Wi-Fi off while my Mini Pro is sleeping, after screen lock. I've changed the settings (settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced) to Never, but Wi-Fi keeps turned on draining battery while the screen is locked. Is it another 4.1.B.0.431 issue?
Is there a way to set up email to sync over wifi only? The option is available on my phone which I have unlimited data on, it would only make sense for Motorola to put it on a tablet that has a limited data plan.
