    Battery life a lot WORSE after update?

    In your own words, it sucks. I don't want to do a hard reset unless I know that it's going to fix the problem. Then I'd rather set it back to before the update, when I know it was good. I don't want to erase all my phone history, texts, customized stuff, not to mention my setting up all my...

    Battery life a lot WORSE after update?

    I was perfectly happy with the battery life on my Lumia 800... that was until the update that was supposed to make it better! Now, it's terrible. I used to charge it every 2-3 days, now remaining battery says 19 hrs when fully charged. It used to say over 2 days. Last night I lost 50%...

    Few clarifications

    Because some people like to turn off their phones at night and still have the alarm wake you up in the morning...? :shocked: This was possible in the '90s so why shouldn't it be possible today? I personally don't turn off my phone at night but I can understand that other people do.

    Text time stamps way off

    Hey everyone, So, ever since December 7 the time stamps on received texts have been weird. They show the right time as I receive them, however if I go back in the thread the times are off. The date is correct, but the time off varies. From one person it started out as about 4 hrs back, now that...

    Anyone NOT having battery issues?

    Isn't that one missing the 850 3G/HSPA band? Yes, it is. However, I live in a bigger city and the 1900 band works well enough for my use. I have variable 3G coverage at work (in a warehouse), but I have access to Wi-Fi there so I don't really need it, but everywhere else I've been out and about...

    Ya, the North American version is supposedly not released yet, yet stores claim to have them. Buyer beware...

    Anyone using the Lumia in North America?

    Well, according to Nokia customer care there is currently only one version out there and it does not have HSDPA850... It took about five emails back and forth for them to figure it out:straight:

    How do I edit/turn off birthday notifications in calendar?

    I managed to turn off the e-mail notifications but the calendar on the phone is more tricky... I might have figured it out, seems you can go into the Birthday calendar on Windows Live and manually edit every contact... If I just ignore the message saying that I have in fact turned off all...

    How do I edit/turn off birthday notifications in calendar?

    Hmmm, will the birthdays still show in the calendar though if I turn the birthday calendar off? I still want them in there, I just don't want the annoying notification 12 hrs before... I would also like to edit the notification time for the contacts that I actually want to be notified about...

    How do I edit/turn off birthday notifications in calendar?

    Hi everyone, Sorry if this has been asked before. I did a quick search but couldn't find anyhting useful. How do I turn off the annoying birthday notifications in the calendar? I tried turning off all notifications in my Windows Live/Hotmail calendar and update it, but my phone still shows a...

    Anyone NOT having battery issues?

    Well, I've had my Lumia since Tuesday and the battery is working pretty good for me. Right now it's showing 1 day 20 hrs since last charge and I still have 56% left. I'm no super user but it's Wi-Fi on/3G off when I'm at work and at home and 3G on/Wi-Fi off when I'm out and about. Location...

    Lumia is made in what country?

    Made in China. And I honestly don't think that affects the build quality these days. Isn't it a bit racist to assume Chinese people can't do as good of a job as a Finnish person? Just because they demand less money for the job doesn't mean they're not qualified...

    Buying a Lumia from overseas?

    I would recommend anyone that wants to order this phone for use in North America to confirm the product code with the seller. Many retailers advertise this phone with specs from Nokia's website, which are actually incorrect. ------ This is the reply from Nokia customer care: Please be...

    Anyone using the Lumia in North America?

    Yeah, that's weird. Even though I'm in Alberta and only have GST added, but even at that it shouldn't be so much... Isn't the HST in BC like 12%? I noticed that they calculate the tax based on value in CAD. Maybe you got a different exchange rate or something? I noticed the exchange rate on...

    Anyone using the Lumia in North America?

    Got my phone late last night thanks to an awesome DHL guy who agreed to deliver it on his way home from his shift! ;) I can confirm it does work on Rogers/Fido 3G. Love this phone! I also only had to pay $36 in taxes/fees, so I'm pretty happy about that! :D

    Anyone using the Lumia in North America?

    I don't have a windows phone yet so I don't know... ;) But just the general "feel" when you're browsing etc.?

    Anyone using the Lumia in North America?

    So I checked with a couple of blogs/websites that have done a review of the Lumia and it is supposed to have 3G on AT&T, which means it should have it on Rogers as well. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
