Nokia Lumia :: No WP8 Update For Phones (getting 7.8)?
Jun 20, 2012
It was just officially annouced by Microsoft 40 minutes ago at the Windows Phone Summit that current windows phones would get WP 7.8 update with some features of WP8 but not WP8 itself.
The biggest worry is that WP8 will allow native code for apps, and that many apps will thus not work on "older" phones.
The Lumia 900 is only a few months old and the 800 and 710 and 610 are not much older (all are less than 9 months on the market), but they will not be getting Windows Phone 8 update just like all first generation Windows Phones. Nokia must have known for some time as well that current Lumia buyers would not get WP8 update, this seems unfair especially for Lumia 900 buyers.
How does Nokia plan to make this more fair for current Lumia users?
I just received my new Lumia 900 yesterday. Searched the forum for an answer, bot no luck. Question is,can the one assign contacts to the phone speed-dial as on previous phones (in my case Nokia E7).?
My phone has started to freeze when unlocking it, and sometimes when exiting an application. It basically stays on whatever screen was currently being shown with the navigation bar active (the back button, windows key etc), but none of the buttons work. The power button and volume buttons also have zero effect. This happens with both Windows Hello enabled and disabled (I sort of thought it was windows Hello related, but it doesn't appear to be).
I've seen than HTC phones with similar features than Nokia or Motorola cell phones for instance are cheaper.. Why is that?? For instance HTC Touch Viva is cheaper than Nokia 5800, Nokia 6790 or Motorola MOTOZINE ZN5... Why is that? What are HTC phones disadvantages compared with other brands phones?
I have updated my phones' software using the "update service" and it tells me that my phone has got the latest software (R2CA023). I have read on some blogs that R2CA026 has been released in some regions. Is there a way that I can update to the latest software?
Can some one run SEUS and tell me if it's working please? I'm trying to update three phones, C902 and two W850i and getting nowhere. My PC is up to date.
Someone got a brandnew N97 from O2 in Germany. The interesting thing is the packages says "Made in China". My own N97 was made in Finland, as expected. Does Nokia really assemble some N97 in China? Or could this be a faked phone!? But I do not expect O2 to sell faked phones. What does Nokia say about this? Here you can see a picture of the package: http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=01032010133c7bldey8.jpg
When maps are downloaded and installed on Nokia Drive, how can it be determined that they have been updated so that the installed version can be refreshed in Nokia Drive?If there is no way to determine it, can Nokia consider adding this as a feature request for the next release of Nokia Drive? In addition:
1) Connect Nokia Maps application with Nokia Drive so that selecting an address should use Nokia Drive for navigation.
2) Nokia Maps does not allow to copy the address of a POI in the clipboard on Windows Phone. Please support this.
3) Nokai Drive should support set a home location that should be easily accessible (just like it is in other navigation apps).
4) Support for favorites in Nokia Drive. These should be available offline and also remain insync with the favorites marked in Nokia Maps (which are now synchronized with the user's account).
5) Nokia Drive does not support show the route details for a particular route - this is helpful in getting an overview of the route that will be taken to reach the destination. Please support this.
6) Nokia Drive can give longer/unoptimized routes when compared with other providers like Google or Bing maps. Can you please bring the routing quality upto par with the competition?
7) It will be nice to see weather at destination from within Nokia Drive when a route is being planned.
My Lumia 800 has been relegated to status of spare phone but out of curiosity did the update to see what difference there is and now can't send MMS.I'm on T-Mobile UK.All worked perfectly before. Have tried their "we'll send you the setting"automated help which didn't work as their message to me didn't get through. Don't know if I care enough to call their customer care.
I updated my Nokia lumia 800 today, in Denmark. When updtae was finish there were a sim card problem and no signal. I, of course, tried to restore the phone with Zune, but this is not possible I only get the 801812E0 error. I tried soft and hard reset and whatever, but nothing seems to work, it looks like my sim card is fried. My wife then took the phone to the shop, and they said I had to order a new sim card, but it is not true, because the sim card works just fine if I put it into another phone. I don't care about any of the data that was on the phone, I just want it to work again.
I used to get a notification on phone marketplace whenever there is update available for any installed app.However since the recent firmware update, I do not get any notification for app update.Do I have to activate anything to get the notification?
i am trying to update my lumia 800 phone via zune but when i click on update zune is giving error code 80072FA8. Massage coming check your internet connection & try again.
my internet is perfectly working, i reinstall zune 3 times but still same issue.
Just wanted to put this out there as I wondered if anyone else was having the same issues as me since there latest update (which took embarrassingly a good 30minutes to do) Since the update my phone is struggling to coupe with even scrolling through and screen, it lags very horribly and is very frustrating when on the home screen and need to get to the bottom tiles but seems to only let you scroll one line of tiles at a time . . . Also very,very annoying with the lock screen because it drops before it lets you attempt to catch it on the lag to unlock.Problems with market keeps showing me errors when wanting to download anything, usually I have to press through the errors three times, Same thing happens when trying to sync my emails. Web pages do not always display first time normally have to refresh a few times.Also this has always happened even before the update, every couple of weeks my phone shows as call divert symbol but when you go into the menu to see if it is, it really isn't so you have to put it on divert and undivert in order to return to normal.
I cannot get and update information on my nokia 710 and it hangs sometimes and its touch is also not working properlyAnd i cannot open my airtel money by dialing *400#
I have been trying to update my Lumia which I haven't updated since I bought it in February this year. When I try to update in the Zune software, a message tells me my phone is up to date.
The current software loaded onto the phone is version 7.10.8107.79 which clearly is an older version. The precise message I get on the Zune software is as follows:
"Your phone is up to date Current phone software version: 7.10 (8107)"
Also, no updates are found when I check for updates on the phone itself.
I am having an issue where I got the update notification on my phone and also it showed up on Zune. Because I was using my work laptop I got the Zune message that updating is not recommended as I am not using my primary computer. So I cancelled the update. Now when I check the update at home, Zune says I am up to date (with the my current fw 12070) also phone is saying no updates found.
My carrier is TMobile in the US. I like them as a a carrier, but what's a bit annoying is the lack of phones supporting 3G on TMO. I'm limited to a few models only, mostly directly from them.Does anybody know what the chances are that this will change in the future? That Nokia will have more models with compatible bands? Or will this particular band always be left as a **bleep**, mere afterthought of a band?
just downloaded the update Nokia released. After the update, I noticed when I unlock the phone, the screen is nice and bright but then it goes a bit dark. Appears the auto brightness control is no longer working correclty.
I updated my phone to the latest firmware update through Zune and now the battery won't charge up past 2%. I then restored the backup and the phone charges up fine but when I install the updates again the battery just won't charge?

When I type characters which it doesn't recognise the predictive text box stops displaying the characters and there is therefore no + at the end of the word to enable me to add it to predictive text.
Fail to update my Windows Phone and got Error Code 801811A3. Any other alternative to solve this error. Im using Nokia Lumia 710 and my laptop ASUS using Windows 7.
I have a Lumia 800, County Variant Model 059M539 on o2 in uk.There is the 12070 firmware fix for the hardware. i.e Improved battery, better audio. It's been available from Nokia for at least two weeks.
I connect to Windows Phone 7 connector on OSX, but there is no update available. The Nokia FAQ says that updates 'After 5 days, all eligible phones will receive update notifications.' As o2 have already pushed updated to their versions of the Lumia. How can I force an update my phone?
