    Post [Q] Lumia 800 freezes on Orange startup screen after failed update

    Unfortunately I can't help with this, however my sister has just emailed me to say her Lumia 800 ran flat and now won't boot past the Orange logo either. She had updated to 7.8 a few days ago. Possibly connected...

    Post Can't Clear the Voicemail Notification

    This happened to me last night on my Lumia 800. I listened and saved it and it still showed up. Rang up again and it said no new voicemails. I had to delete the voicemail for it to disappear. I know that doesn't really help you but I have had issues with it.... On a similar note I had the same...

    Post Problem with Volume

    Me and my sister both have RM801 Lumias with the same bug. It's known and is fixed by 12072. 12072 was apparently only delivered to Vodafone devices however. So expect the fix to be rolled into the Tango update soon.

    Post [Q] Emails not arriving at the time

    No. It worked fine on my Omnia 7 for 18months. I guess there is just a server problem with Microsoft at the moment. Sometimes they arrive on time. Other times theyre delayed up to an hour.

    Post Dodgy device? Or are these bugs still live...

    Yeh the Omnia 7 was nice (even though mine had a really crippling data problem). I thought I would miss the larger screen but I really haven't noticed it. I have pretty small hands too so this has been really nice to use! The 900 was just too big for my tastes.

    Post Dodgy device? Or are these bugs still live...

    Yup, I guessed Tango would be here soon. Hoping all the bugs will be ironed out in that. In fairness the battery life is better than my Omnia 7 and the camera also seems better so at least those two initial bugs don't seem to affect me. Otherwise it's a stunning device. It's so much nicer to...

    Post Dodgy device? Or are these bugs still live...

    Ah right, interesting. To be honest the volume bug I can live with for now. My phone stays on silent at work anyway. It's just the call end one... I'll see how it goes and if it persists I'll get it changed.

    Post Dodgy device? Or are these bugs still live...

    Thanks for the info. I guessed the battery might be something to do with that. The one I'm most worried by is the call not ending as that was supposed to have been fixed some time ago. Is 12072FW meant to be out to everyone? Or is it just Orange UK being really slow with the updates again? (My...

    Well I've had my Lumia for 3 days now. First 2 days were fine then today seems to have brought to light a load of bugs. It arrived pre-loaded with 12070 rev software and plugging into zune says im currently up to date. 1) When listening to music over headphones and I receive a text, the music...

    Post Do you have a family using Windows Phone?

    Me and my Sister got Omnia 7s on launch in Nov 2010. I've just ordered a Lumia 800 as an upgrade and I think she's gonna do the same. So then our Omnias will go to the parents I think.

    Due an upgrade now. It's gonna be the 800 or 900. Need to hold a 900 for myself before making the decision, have a feeling it's gonna feel too big.

    Post Omnia7 + T-Mobile UK domestic data roaming = Tragedy???

    I'm on Orange UK and opted into this ages ago. As far as I can tell it's a load of rubbish and doesn't work properly. In my flat I get low GPRS with Orange. If i force it to T-Mobile I get full 3G. However the roaming defaults to Orange and so I'm stuck with GPRS and poor reception. In...

    Currently facing the same dilema. I'm due an upgrade on Orange to replace my Omnia 7. Personally I don't care about a FFC so that isn't a selling point for me on the 900. I do think however the Omnia 7 is as big as I'd want to go at 4". Having used Galaxy S2s i find that to be possibly too...

    Same here. Orange UK - Still on 7740. Orange have been poor with updates. Shame really... I couldn't look at other networks though as Orange have by far the best deals available and do stock a decent range of WP7 handsets.

    Does your Omnia find other devices? Omnias are notoriously bad for having faulty Bluetooth. My first one stopped working properly. Replacement is fine. In the Omnia 7 section there are quite a few people who've reported it.
