    Post zune sync groups

    it's not the apps i'm not worried about - on my old lumia, whenever i transferred music and stuff it'd create a sync group of a list of songs that i could have automatically sync to the phone. but since the phone has been replaced, i can't find an option to use the previous phone's sync group.

    Thread zune sync groups

    today nokia replaced my phone, so i had to set it all up again. i noticed there was a sync group it created with all the songs i transferred to my previous phone. is there any way to sync that same sync group with a new phone? zune is terrible - i've been reading microsoft's own instructions on...

    Thread mic not working sometimes during calls

    i noticed a few times when i either make a call or answer one the microphone just doesn't work - it doesn't happen all the time, sp i assumed it would either be a network or sim card issue. however, i have another phone on the same network (an android phone) which never has the same glitch. i'd...

    Post [Q] Artist info on lock screen?

    try getting zune to find the album info. that should let it show in the phone when you re-sync the music.

    Post Unlocking O2 UK Lumia 800

    if you're on o2 pay monthly you can unlock your phone for free on their website. it takes 2 weeks max, and the SIM must be in the handset at all times (don't put the SIM into a different phone) O2 unlocking form don't worry about it mentioning the iphone. it works for most o2 locked phones.

    Post Nokia Apps in Marketplace?

    i have noticed this with carrier branded phones - it doesn't show the nokia apps in the market, nor does it appear when you search for it.

    Post Lumia 800 Battery after 12070 update

    mine is okay when i'm not in the house. i was out all day, listening to music and my battery ended up at around 76% from full (which i was very impressed by). but when i went home, by evening the battery had gone down far enough that battery saver turned on. i'd turned off my wifi, too, seeing...

    Post Screen protectors suck on the Lumia. Here's the solution.

    i didn't use a screen protector on my lumia - actually i've never used a screen protector before (i just know i'll put it on badly). i also found the rubber-ish case provided is terrible for keeping your phone clean. somehow dust gets underneath it and just makes the phone look horrible.

    Post Are Lumia 800 Good ?

    it seems lots of people own the s2 and are considering the lumia 800 :) the reason i bought my lumia, was because i tried the wp7 theme on android and thought to myself "i wonder what it's really like on a proper wp7 phone". stalled in choosing them because all i saw were re-dressed htc desire...

    Post New 12070 firmware arriving soon to your Lumia 800

    i'm getting much improved music, but battery discharge seems around the same as before the update. maybe the discharge rate is lower when i'm not looking at it, though, because i end the day with decent battery life.

    Post Incorrectly using 3G when on wifi

    ^ i got the opposite result - normally i have WLAN turned on at all times, because it always connects to wifi at home and at work. my battery lasted much longer (it lasted the night with 39% left, as opposed to going flat sometime in the night) with just the 3g turned on.

    Post Does anyone get good battery life

    my battery was okay before the update through zune, but now it seems to discharge much faster doing nothing. it'll discharge 50 to 60% overnight, at times.

    Post Incorrectly using 3G when on wifi

    i've noticed this too. it'll also present me with wifi hotspots to connect to, including ones it should be connected to. as of now, i don't know whether it's an issue with locked or unlocked handsets. my handset was bought unlocked with no branding, but i've noticed some of the bugs i'm having...

    Post Lumia 800 screen looks "serrated". Is it normal?

    i find it's far more noticeable if you use more warm colours (like oranges and reds) than if you use blues or greens.

    Post Lumia 800 flaws list here

    the things i don't like about my nokia lumia - the lock key is too easy to mistake for the lower volume key, so when i'm blindly adjusting the music volume from in my pocket, i often activate and deactivate the screen. which in turn reveals the on screen lock music controls, which can (if the...

    Post Curved glass and screen protectors...

    Post Noob tearing hair out with Lumia 800

    the way i see it, the drag and drop seems to work fine for me - i drag and drop music/videos/photos/podcasts onto the phone, i look in the music/videos/photos/podcasts bit of the phone, i see music/videos/photos/podcasts that i dragged onto the phone. my beef with wp7 is the browser isn't...

    i have a literal butt-load of apps for my iphone i have no hope of ever being able to use again. i had my phone stolen during that dark time when the iphone was not available to buy on pay as you go (dark dark times...), and so had to switch to a different smartphone os. at the time it was a htc...

    Post Audiophile? Lumia 800?

    i'm not generally complaining about the speaker quality - it was the quality through the headphones. people seem to be skipping over the point of this thread and hammering people who complained about the built in speaker. by the way, if anybody else can try going to the zune settings (with the...

    Post NOKIA Lumia 800 >>>YeS or NO?

    so can android. and, unless i'm doing something wrong, i need my lumia plugged into the mains before i can do this. i really love my lumia (and my s2, just to balance things out). but a couple of gripes - the body - as nice as it is, is decidedly slippery. sure, it comes with a neat case in the...

    Post Audiophile? Lumia 800?

    i bought mine on sunday - i realised the built in speaker was frankly rubbish, but didn't try using headphones today until today. i had to search online to see if i wasn't the only one who thought the audio quality was just plain rubbish. the thing is, my nokia came pre-loaded with the update...

    Post Don't buy samsung

    people who care about receiving the latest update would be on forums like this - by extension you will have dabbled with custom roms. samsung gave their reason why they couldn't put ICS on the older devices - it involves touchwiz, which is their core skin - samsung aren't going to ditch it for...

    Post Samsung Galaxy S2 Mesh Vent Case - thoughts?

    the only downside is it lets dust through the little holes, so you get a neat little dust pattern on the back side of your phone - a regular removal and wipe on your trousers helps.

    Post SGS2 Leather flip Case

    if i'd known about this case i would have tried it first over the samsung official leather case. the official one clamps so tight that after a few removal cycles the bottom section of my phone creaks :( which is unfortunate because it fits so well. (another downside, however, was the hole for...

    Post Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy S II?

    i sometimes wish my galaxy s2 had the screen resolution of the nexus prime. i love everything about my s2, and i don't mind the current screen resolution at all (i believe most apps are going to be optimised for the 800x480 resolution anyway), but... it looked so pin sharp, going by the closeups...

    Post [Q] (SGS II) Screen colour contrast issue after rooting

    I had this issue, and i believe i resolved it after restoring it to the original manufacturer's kernel and firmware. i think the kernel and the rooted firmware must be the same - you should use an insecure kernel that has the same last 3 figures as the firmware you are using. find your original...

    Post [Q]Screen Contrast Issues after rooting SGSII

    the exact same thing happened to me - after rooting and loading a custom rom the screen appeared very washed out and faded. mine was a white galaxy s 2, locked to o2. in the end, i loaded the original o2 firmware "GT-I9100_O2U_I9100XWKE2_I9100XXKDJ_I9100O2UKE1" and its counterpart kernel, and...

    Post Froyo + Sense?

    sense has got its good points, by default htc phones can play wmv files (which is useful) and its copy text functionality is far better than what froyo has (menu - select text to copy - fumble with fingers/have optical sensor randomly copy stuff you don't want...) but then, it can just get in...
