Nokia Lumia :: Can It Be Reformatted With Android
Jul 31, 2012
It took me a while, but I have come to live with Ubuntu on my Laptop and with Android on my work phone.I love the Symbian functionality on my old personal N5800 and didn't have too much trouble translating to the new Android at work.I want to upgrade my private phone to a Nokia model, but when I had a play with the Windows ones at the shop, I was disappointed at how naff they seem.I don't want to learn yet another OS and TBH, it just looked too wrong. I trust the Nokia hardware, I'd trust it with my life, but the OS sucks.Is there a way of reformatting the phone to Android. I'd even pay to de-license the Windows OS?

I've recently had to reformat my memory card as the camera refused to work with the memory card inserted. I took off all pics, videos and music and saved them to the computer. However, when I've gone back to the Ovi store and into the "my stuff" tab, I cannot click the download button on many of the apps (mainly the ones that I actually use which makes it even more annoying). My husband has told me to go into "settings", then "application manager", then finally into "installed apps" and delete the files for the apps that I would like to reinstall (to reactivate the download button again). fantastic idea, but the file names don't give me any sort of clue as to what app they're for. I asked if it would be quicker and easier just to delete everything from the "installed apps" folder, at which point my husband nearly had a breakdown and told me not to do that as there were files in that folder that relate to firmware downloads and could cause more problems by deleting them.

After an issue with my N97 where I was unable to do any backups from the phone to the internal memory card, I reformatted and reinstalled the apps to my N97 (making sure I did a backup using PC Suite before hand).
Upon restoring the PC Suite image, I found that it didn't restore the list of favourites which have meant that I've lost them all - I'm sure I remember that the backup to memory card did make a copy of them, but as I wasn't able to do this, this wasn't a possible solution .....
Luckily, Google Maps have most of my starred items (favourites) saved, (barring the one I managed to unstar by accident), but it appears as if Google doesn't store the actual co-ordinates and doesn't allow them to be exported ... So in short - is there anyway at all I can get my favourites back ?

Basically there is a way somehow to reset a phone when locked and give the holder FULL access to my mobile account. Where is the security in that? I have also lost all my details while I'm on holiday and need the remote connectivity most! Can I ever trust Nokia again or did I do something to make my phone self destruct?

My laptop had an unexpected failure and had to be reformatted. My iphone was synced to the itunes that was installed on it.
I have reformatted and reinstalled itunes on the machine now and would like to be able to manage my iphone music on it again. However I am unable to do so. Checking the "manually manage music" option results in being told that to do this I will have to reformat my iphone.
I don't want to reformat my iphone. How can I use my iphone with this computer and itunes, manually managing music, without reformatting it?
Info:
iPhone 3GS (8GB), iOS 5.1.1

My work have decided to renew our mobile contracts and rather than a 1020 I have to use a Galaxy S5. Ordinarily it wouldn't bother me but I have a lot of SMS on the phone since the 1020 first released.
So onto my question is there anyway I can transfer all of my SMS messages from the 1020 over to Android. My 1020 is staying with me as it's surplus to requirements and with it being a 64gb edition I'd like to use it as my personal phone.

I just received a Windows phone Lumia 1520 from work today.So far it's been a pleasant but eye opening experience. As most Android users I started using the phone expecting an inferior frustrating designed Windows phone but I have to admit I'm liking it
. The Hardware is beautiful and the OS seems fast and responsive the only thing I have to complain about is the app store but I have been able to find most apps I need or an alternative.

I'm giving serious consideration to moving to WP and the Icon from Android and a Galaxy S3. I'm not overly concerned about the so-called app gap but I'm curious to hear stories from others who have made this move and how you may have handled moving all of your google contacts and calendar appointments to a Microsoft account. Can I just add the google/gmail account and have the contacts move over automatically?

I recently got an LG V10 (I know, I know, I hated giving up Windows Phone but I had to), and the ATT store was unable to transfer my SIM contacts to my new phone. The SIM from my 1020 was larger than the SIM for the V10, and apparently it's not possible for them to use their software to transfer SIM contacts off of Windows phone because of software restrictions.
I'd really like to get my contacts from my old SIM card transferred to my new phone but I can't figure out how to do it. I connected my 1020 to my computer but I can't find the SIM contacts anywhere in the file directory.

Been pretty happy with the ICON. Noticed a problem with sending group messages to Sprint Android users from Verizon ICON. They are getting a blank group message. Tried an Android on ATT and it worked. My friend tried it from is WP on Verizon and he gets the same results. Tried to talk to VZW and "We'll look into this" and now its marked as resolved but the same issue exists.

Cant understand why the backup to PC of vital Lumia phone information such as contacts, calendar and messges can not be easily and quickly achieved as with the Nokia suite and N8. I believe it is synced automatically to Sky-drive but I cannot find evidence of this. I would like to have control of this data for easy retrieval and stored on my PC. Windows phone software on my PC is sub standard in comparison with Nokia Suite. It is clunky, contacts cannot be backed up, photos have no picture reference when transferred and the overall Windows Phone software on my PC is second rate in contrast to the Windows Phone 8 phone experience. Can anyone enlighten me on how I can easily copy my contacts to PC. No problem getting contacts into the phone. Just unclear on how to get a copy of them out.

I have my Nokia Lumia 710 and from the beginning there is like a black dot on the screen. First i thought it is above the screen so i could wipe It...but it is not! In is actually under the screen and it really bothers me when i am on white background, on internet or playing games.

i've heard about a software called Alien dalvik, that emulates android apps so that they can be run on other devices. Can the nokia belle 701 do this as well?
BTW - does anyone know when the FB1 will be available for Nokia 701 bought in Israel from Eurocom, the company that represents Nokia in Israel? (meaning it isnt bought from carrier so there is no attachment to carriers ) Or even when globally?

Each time I restart my phone, it loses the current date and time and set's it to some apparent random day. This last time it chose the 16th of May 2012.
I took delivery of it yesterday and it's been fully charged. I've set the Date+time to 'Set Automatically' to 'On'

I am undecided between these two phones.I currently have a Nokia E71 but would like a bigger screen and bigger keyboard.My priorities are a good imap idle email client (I don't mind paying for Profimail), sync with google calendar and managing contact groups. I don't care about facebook integration, camera etc.It seems both phones would meet my requirements; other than size (the Milestone has a bigger screen but is thinner) what would you say are the main differences, pros and cons of the two phones, and of Symbian S60 5th edition vs Android 2 in general?

I am having Bluetooth compatibility issues with my new Lumia 800. In 2011 Subaru Forester I am able to connect the phone and play music, but when I turn the car off and then on again it does not connect automatically like my iPhone does. In my 2012 Toyota Camry I am not even able to get the Lumia to connect to the stereo when my Blackberry has no issues with it.Is this is a Nokia issue or Windows Phone issue? Also, will these issues be addressed in future updates?

For some reason, since yesterday, my phone has had sound problems. With earphones in, I can hear calls and music ok, and same with loudspeaker, but without earphones in or loudspeaker on, I can't hear music or the other person who is calling. Also, the person who I've rang/has called me can't hear me either. Ringtones and text tones work perfectly normal.
