i have owned a lumia 800 a week ago. I'm unable to access marketplace n Xbox services from 2 days. I've reset my phone for two times n tried to login from my windows live id n password. It works well for 2-3 days n after that a message "window live id service is unavailable at the moment. try again later." appears on screen whenever I try to install apps n like to do something with Xbox. I've contacted Nokia care in my city n they did something for a day n gave back. But the same message is appearing again. " window live id service is unavailable at the moment. try again later''. I don't want to reset my phone again.
For a couple of days now, I haven't been able to update or install any apps from the Marketplace, since I've started to get this error: "Windows Live ID - service is unavailable right now. Please try again later". (translated from originally Finnish message). It has worked just fine earlier. Network is OK and pretty much everything else is working.
i came a cross an interesting post unfortunately also with no solution. so i am starting a new thread because the old 1 had about 15 posts none of which were answered just more questions posed, so to business.i wondered why i could not get the new updates or why it did not show up, then i read several posts from people with phones that were bought unlocked for any network and they all had the same problem updates not showing up when there are updates to be had.
I'm trying to download my music but WP8 uses the Windows Phone App client in Windows 8. Wll, when I tried connecting my phone, it says "Your phone is having troubles" error message. The instruction says to power off the phone. But no luck. Tried searching MS community but nothing there (but I won't rule out I didn't search well. Also, I posted the same question there and waiting for a response.)
I've tried to connect to both w7 and w8, in the case of w7 the drivers install and the icon for the windows phone is visible under My Computer, but any attempt to interact with it produces an error. On w8 the new Windows Phone app downloads when the phone is first plugged in, but the software never reconizes the handset, it just gives a "your phone is notplaying nice error".
I have been unable to upgrade my Lumia 800 to Windows 7.5 or higher so I could use the tethering feature. The Zune software simply doesn't see any update past the one I have. I'm opting to skip backup, so space for that isn't the problem. Handset was bought in Finland this spring, unlocked.
I would like to ask about Windows Phone 8 smartphones1. Do they support Skype, Gmail and Yahoo! Messenger?2. Are there game emulator applications for PSX (PS One), N64, GBA or SNES for them?3. Do they have office editor preloaded?
I've had this problem for a day or so now. I connect my lumia 920 to my PC (Windows 7 ultimate x64) the phone makes a connection sound and it shows up under My Computer. However when I go to browse the files on the 920 it is just empty. Also when I try and use the WindowsPhone app it boots up on the welcome screen as if it's the first time I'm connecting it and does nothing when I press the continue button...
This hasn't always been the case as I was able to browse the files and use the WindowsPhone app for over a week without trouble previously.What I have tried so far:>Restarting my phone.>Reinstalling the WindowsPhone app.>Repairing and reinstalling .NET 4.5 and updating it.>Turning my firewall off>Connecting it to another USB port. >Connecting it to my other computer. >Hard resting my phone. (This left me stuck on the cog wheels for hours and I had to flash my phone to fix this)>And maybe more things that I can't remember at the moment.Interestingly when I had to hard reset it and wipe everything off the phone it worked fine, the app let the phone sync my music etc, I thought it had been fixed. BUT the second time I went to sync my phone the same problem happened! WindowsPhone app thinks its the first time and wont let me press continue and the device is just empty under My Computer.The phone works fine otherwise, all my music and stuff is on it from the first sync and I have 0 problems besides this!
1. I am not able to forward messages. I mean there is no forward message option at all. SInce all the messages seem to be appearing in threads.
2. And when i use the People section and set my FB status as available i am not able to chat with anyone and i seem to appear offline to others as well. Currently i am using this softwarre called FIM for facebook chats.
I signed up an account windows live, it allows me to download everything on marketplace. I also downloaded ZUNE set up on my laptop ( OS: Windows 7 ) and create an account on ZUNE. But when I plugged in my phone into laptop, on screen, the ZUNE said "No device is connected". I don't know why.
And I want to tranfer music and pictures from my laptop to phone and vice versa. How can I do that if ZUNE said No device is connected?
Previously I was using Nokia E7 from which I can use device as modem and can connect to internet on PC via USB cable thru Nokia PC Suite, Now I have change my device and using Nokia Lumia 610. How can use this device as modem and can connect to internet on PC via USB cable as this iphone does not connect to PC Suite and Zune in only used for media and photo sharing purpose. There is not option to connect to internet in zune
I just got a WP7, and it's got an app called maps, and it can tell me where I'm at. I don't have a gps plan with ATT.does anybody know if it uses the phone's gps to find my location or does it locate my phone by some other means?
I know that I can connect my Lumia 920 through a cable with my PC, but is there a way to stream wirelessly to it? For example, I would like to stream pictures or videos directly to my PC. Furthermore, I have a SmartTV from Samsung and was wondering if there is any way to stream media from my phone directly to the TV.
When will you provide Windows 7.8 update for Nokia Lumia 800? It is not available on Zune and also the website (url..) does not mention anything about Windows 7.8
Does anyone know if there is a way of increasing the font size as when I look at contact info it is very very small and as you cant zoom in on this info I really need to increase the font size to make it much easyer to read.
When I check Device Manager, I keep getting "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)" and the device is a "RM-821|Nokia Lumia 920". I have restarted both Phone and laptop several times. I did connect successfully to my HTC Radar. I don't even get the "Charging" symbol on my Lumia. Connecting My Lumia to another laptop running Windows 8 works just fine. How can I install the correct driver, and from where to I get it? I expected to get it from Windows Update as it should "just works".
Like all I see I also bought a windows 800 on the basis that all our team of 50 would change from Iphones to windows so we could sync with our outlook which is not server based but we each run our own outlook folders but no there is no outlook sync. Yes you can copy to the live account and then use that as your main calendar but who wants to do that?
I asked and was told specifically that it would sync with outlook so the Carephone Warehouse guy either lied or did not know his stuff ( I know what my guess is!) Amazingly my wife's samsung galaxy using Android does sync.
If you can tell me how I can synchronise my windows phone with my Outlook without exporting and importing CSV and ICS files then please do so.
Moderators note: changed thread title to reflect subject. Moved from another thread.
Nokia Music is supported in Singapore but I can't update the application to its latest version 3.1 because it says "This app is not available for you device". Many users around the world are unable to update too, as seen from your support forums.
I upgraded my PC from XP to Windows 7. I used the easy transfer tool, but it didn't transfer my zune settings so I had to re-enter these on the new PC. My phone had about 150 MB free space before the transfer. But now it only has 1 MB and the "Reserved space and other content" has grown to 5.58 GB! When I first synced Zune did upload all my music into my phone, so I had to delete that. But what else would be filling the 5.58 GB.
Only apps for windows phone 8 are being updated and are even included new features and stability fixesEven angry birds space &star wars are Xbox live enabled for wp8I thing we the first generation Lumia owners will be left behindand we will never get new apps ad updated appsI know my POST will be PREMOVED in a few hours Because it is a TRUTH
