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?
View 3 RepliesI'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 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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI signed up for Windows Insider on my Lumia 1020 and the next day I was prompted to perform a system maintenance update. I went ahead and approved it and it ended up being the Windows 10 Mobile upgrade. The upgrade went smoothly. For some reason Windows Maps will not launch. This is also affecting the HERE app.
View 8 Replies View RelatedLike 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.

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.

Don't know where I can write this report for Windows Phone developers. May be Nokia'a developers can share it with them? + it has some information for NokiaFirst of all Windows Phone 7.5 - very good OS, after Sony Ericsson Java Platform 8. But I found few "problems". Hope they are will be fixed in future versions of WP7.X or WP8.x.missing time of the nearest reminder on the lock screen. Not from calendar, but from Alarms;sms compose in horisontal mode has backspace-button near the send-button. Very danger combination in list of call history require one of icons: missed, call to my phone, call from my phone (in C510 it was perfect);some of titles OS output with very large font, but some with very small font. Large font is excellent, but small font is too small. Missing some option to increase small font. Some of your business users in ages and do not have perfect vision for such small font. + When small font with blue color, even I can't read it on the sun;Market / category list has language of my account region, but have to be of my OS UI;missing time on top of screen in browser and games. When I read something in browser or "kill the time" in games, I need to keep track of time;missing "Mobile 2" in contacts.
In our country some people has 2-3 mobile phones...power key is always under thumb when I talk with someone (Lumia 800). Very bad place for it. I think ideal place is on top border (for left hand and right hand people);My previous phone (SE C510) has very good battery safe feature: if you press on any volume button while it in sleep mode, the phone little lighted display with time and few icons (missed call, calendar alarm) if require. In result we do not take many energy for get current time and look, did we missed something

View 3 Replies View RelatedNew to the Windows mobile phone... I use my Windows phone for business and do a lot of conference calls. With my iPhone I used to be able to put the phone number with three commas and then the passcode to the conference call in the meeting request (format = 555-555-5555,,,12121212#). By using this format my customers could just click the link in their iPhone and it would auto-dial the conference number along with the passcode so that they did not have to remember the passcode while driving.
Example: 555-555-5555,,,12121212#. (autohyperlink for iOS)
VS
555-555-5555 Passcode 12121212 then press # (caller can hyperlink the phone number but has to remember the passcode and dial it while driving...)
By using this format you could just click the number and it would dial the number pause then auto add the passcode and # to enter the conference call. I think Blackberry used to use a similar format to achieve the same thing.
I just upgraded from a Lumia 521 to a Lumia 1320 last week. I can't run Windows Phone 8.1 DP on my new 1320. Apparently it's something to do with Cricket Wireless. WP 8.1 DP will install, but then it's frequent crash/restart loops. On my Lumia 521, there was a setting to enable pushing store apps/updates from Windows Phone Store in IE 11 on my Windows 8.1 Pro x64 pc to my phone.
I can't remember where the setting was in Windows Phone 8.1 for enabling this. Also, on my Lumia 521 in the Lock Screen settings, I could set the time to never, 30 minutes, 15 minutes. 5 minutes, 3 minutes or 1 minute. On my Lumia 1320 the settings are only 1 minute, 3 minutes or 5 minutes. Is there a way to get the old settings for this back ? The 30 minutes or never is useful for updates or backups. The 5 minute crap stinks.
Just a question for those who have tested Windows Phone 10 Beta or currently have a Windows Phone 10.
Is it now possible to encrypt the whole device, its apps and all the content (documents, photos, music, videos, etc...) on the phone on Windows Phone 10?
I don't see that feature on Windows Phone 8.1.
Microsoft kind of lags behind competitors (Android, Blackberry, iPhone) for phone encryption . In 2015 encryption is cleary necessary to protect our phone and its content.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI received a Nokia 1520.3 that was swapped by Nokia service center yesterday. My old model was Nokia RM-938_Ita_Ita_905 which work fine expect white dots; the new model is Nokia RM-938_nam_canada_104.
The first thing I notice is that my new phone doesn't recognize the T-Mobile LTE, in the Setting, the maximum connection speed is only 3G which I used getting LTE. I also exchanged the SIM card in the T-Mobile store, still the same.
Another thing is, cannot update to Windows phone 8.1. I tried Hard reset, soft reset, use the Nokia Recovery Tool... still cannot get windows phone 8.1 update.
