    Lumia 830 disapointment, and why it will fail

    Being a previous 820 owner, I think 830 seems to be a good improvement, and I may consider buying (although not just yet, as I just switched to Android). 8GB internal memory was a big issue in 820, and the 16 GB on 830 is a good addition. Camera was always better than the Androids and iPhones...

    Facebook we're having trouble getting data

    I get this almost always when using the app with 3G data. Not with WiFi. I have Lumia 820, running Black update, and regular FB app (no Beta). Interestingly, I also have similar issues with Twitter app, but less frequently.

    All about Lumia black for 820!

    I've been running Lumia Black on 820 for about a week or two now. There seems to be quite a bit of reduction in battery life with Black. With Amber, my battery lasted the whole day, and I would charge it the next morning (about 20 hours battery life). Now battery dies down before the end of the...

    Find,ring,lock,erase my phone not working

    Strange, it works for some, it does not for others. Very poorly planned feature. Even the Nokia Care handle in twitter is not able to give me a proper reply on if it should work/should not work.

    Find My Phone not Working in India?

    For me Ring & Lock also does not work. A progress bar comes up in windowsphone.com saying "Trying to Ring/Lock" and it fails always. I tried removing my phone and adding it back, and guess what - you can remove your phone from windowphone.com, but not add it back! So no, this feature is not...

    nokia music downloads on device - extremely low bitrates

    This is an old thread, but confirming that the same happens when I download songs on my device (Lumia 820). I did a quick check of the file downloaded on the device, and even though the extension is .mp3, the contents of the file itself is MPEG-4 AAC audio. The expected file extension should...

    GDR2 randomly reboots?

    I have a 820, but still posting here. I see very frequent random reboots after Amber/GDR-2 upgrade. Very annoying, because everytime it reboots, volume goes down to 13 as well. I dont see any reason for the reboots... phone is pretty much idle, and reboots even if I switch off WiFi & mobile data.

    Lumia 820 Amber reviews

    It looks like yesterday the WhatsApp notification problem was solved. I dont know how, since there was no update in the app, or any other change that I did, but it started working since yesterday evening, and I get notifications now. The only thing I did, that I recall, is try to clear the...

    Lumia 820 Amber reviews

    Has anyone got WhatsApp working fine with Amber? It's really irritating... WhatApp solved the notification problem just a few months ago, and now with Amber, it is again not notifying when there are incoming messages.

    My Issues with Nokia Lumia 820...

    1) Yes, you can download songs & videos to the SD card. I usually just connect the phone via the USB cable to my laptop and copy what I want to the SD card (the phone shows up in explorer, with a "Phone" and "SD Card" drive/partition). 2) Absolutely. Nokia music is available, and you get free...

    Official Lumia 820 Amber Update Thread

    Yes, WhatsApp is back to not notifying new messages with Amber update. Frankly, I think I was better off with the previous version.

    Lumia 820 Amber reviews

    I installed Amber yesterday, and it was not smooth. It downloaded the update once, but could not install as it ran out of space. I uninstalled some apps and tried again, and this time it worked (but it downloaded the whole package again, and took a lot of time). The good part is that there is a...

    Nokia: Microsoft Must Evolve to Make Windows Phone a Success

    Nokia has been suffering losses quarter upon quarter ever since they moved to Windows Phone. But, sadly, if they decide to move to Android (or Meego, maybe) now, it would probably effect them even more, and continue the loss-making streak. While I agree that MS's attitude to the OS (and indeed...
