Screen Sound - Nokia Lumia 800

I noticed that if I push the screen down in the middle of the right side, I can hear a noise. Does this happens to your lumia 800?

Hey, are you sure it's from screen? Try holding the hardware buttons (vol up/down/lock), because mines have this strange sound when I move the phone fast... if you still hear it, then it's from your display, I don't hear any.

Nope, my Lumia 800 doesnt have any issue like that.

I have two lumia's and one does have this clicking noise when pushing the screen (on the right side if I remember fine) and the second doesn't.

it seems that the whole product line of our lumia's have this problem

Not all but seems a tech flaw into case design, also the N9 is affected by this problems and you can easilly find proof of this issue on official nokia US and EU forums w/ no response from Nokia - so far -

Noob tearing hair out with Lumia 800

Hi,
Appreciate that i am new here but just want to vent / understand if any of these issues can be resolved with some patching or if (as i suspect) I am better off simply flushing this POS down the bog.
I have had a lumia 800 for exactly 48 hours and its driving me spastic.
my issues are as follows (no particular order)
1. Zune, wtf is this junk? why can i not simpy drag and drop my file where i farkin well want them? I will not be told that i HAVE to use Zune. Zune can suck my balls.
2. Why does mass storage not work? Even if i change the registry to allow it it only partially recognises the files, meaning all my mp3's end up as one giant album, thanks Nokia / Microsoft, you jizz monkeys.
3. Which genius decided to only include one volume? So i lesten to my giant album at a volume that does not make me black out and as a result my ringer is as loud as a sparrows fart. This really is the most retarded thing on a phone sinc about 2001
4. The sound quality, its just crap. Really crap. where is the bass, no really what have you dne with it mr nokia? is it a special thing that normal users cannot be trusted with?
5. No EQ? So not only have you robbed my of my aural pleasure as standard but you have emasculated me by removeing the only tool that could alleviate this pain.
6. Bing, bing can ram it as far as i am concerned, I don't like it, i don't want to use it, but not only is it set as a default, but one of my buttons is dedicated to it? WTF!! out of 6 buttons you have wired 16.5% of them into a function that only smelly old men in rain coats would use.
I could go on, but i just cant find the will. So sod off lumia 800, your going on ebay this weekend and i hope some chav uses your puny loudspeaker to try and play ndubz on the bus.
Anyone else feel this way or have any solutions?
Thanks for reading this rant, oh and Hi

No different than being forced to use iTunes. If you want drag/drop freedom, then Android is your option.

Now to an extent I disagree, for two key reasons.
1. I can manage an i pod (the Mrs's) through winamp with no bother.
2. I expect that kind of bull**** from Apple, who make their products as difficult to customise as possible, windows is MEANT to run on mongrel hardware and support various uses while supporting programs and devices from other manufacturers. So this kind of strong arm move is in my eyes unacceptable.

I can appreciate that the OS is young, but come on, this is basic basic basic I can't think of a phone i have had that was capable of playing mp3's that did not have a separate volume for playback and ring.

Headphones and amplification, Not getting into some sort of "FI off" but i have tried it on Super Fi Pro 10 phones and into a hifi consisting of Cyrus twin mono's and B&W P6's and it sounds un utterably crap, next to a sony X series mp3 player its not even a bad joke, even next to my work blackberry is complete pish. Now i dont expect Esoteric levels of reproduction but i do expect it to have better reproducton than i would get with a set of 99p headphones placed in a coke can.

This is sadly the conclusion that i have reached, which is surprising as i have had a windows phone before all be it some years ago, and while that too was fairly crap in some respects I did use it for a few years without feeling the need to smash it into tiny bits and defecate on its remains.
Oh yeah, I forgot that iPhones can now be managed in different programs. It wasn't like that in the beginning.
I look at it like this. WP7 is new, yes. To keep it stable, it has to start out closed. I sincerely hope that it will open up over time.
I still gotta say that the sound from the Lumia 800 doesn't disappoint me. Honestly, I wasn't expecting greatness anyway. For that, I have a Walkman.
I really hope that these complaints you have will be addressed in the near future. I love WP7. That's why I became a late early adopter. I know a few who adopted really early, and aren't even techie people. They adopted when WP7 was so basic it barely did anything.
Good luck!!!
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 particularly... good... but i just can't put my finger on exactly why...
About bing... On russian version of lumia there are yandex as default search provider and you have option in browser settings to choose defaults between bing and yandex. So I think there must be a way to customize search provider with interop unlock.
How are you editing the registry on your Lumia?

So you are saying you can use the Lumina as a mass storage? because my pc won't even recognize it. I must install stuff, and i never got any CD i think. maybe i should look into the box.

You don't edit the registry on the phone you edit the registry on the pc, you need to adjust the zune driver to enable legacy support, takes about 2 mins.
Even the iPhone had only one volume setting for everything until recently. It sounds like you want Android. Instead of being agitated by a new mobile system, just get an established one.
Yea it sounds like your lumia sucks! I'll buy it from you if you can ship to the US? There are countless droids out there that do everything you want per above, and they will no doubt keep you coming back to XDA to "vent."
So go with the Samsung Galaxy 2 or the N9 - I'm sure it will be all roses with those.
(Side note: if you want to see a limited OS on a phone, check out the N9 with Meego. It is mind-bending how limited that OS is. But at least you can drag and drop! Woooohoooo!)

I agree, I do wonder though why these, what i would call simple issues are not resolved pre release? I can only assume that its essentially the iphone effect where by is desn't really matter if a phone can do pretty simple things well, infact it can be a flaming turd rolled in glitter providing that it looks pretty and you can show if off in the pub.
If you want to make me an offer please do, i didn't get round to ebaying it this weekend as i was too busy being sicked on by my daughter
Its unlocked as standard as i am on the isle of man, happy to ship to outer mongolia provided i have the cash in my account before it leaves my sweaty palms.

I had an original iPhone, i got it a few months after it was released. It had separate volumes for music and ringtones back then. It was something that impressed me at the time which is why i remember.

Just my 2 cents on the issue:
1. I don't have issues so I'm curious to see what yours is. I also have zune pass and its one of the best subscription services I've every used. Love it and love the zune layout (though I have had an HD forever so I'm used to it).
2. See #1
3. That is strange; I've never noticed it. Are you listening with headphones? It doesn't make an audible ring if you have headphones in. Plus I would never ever listen to music straight out of any device; phone, mp3, or otherwise. Sometimes I listen to talk radio on the speaker but quality doesn't matter as much there.
4. Either use headphones or see #3
5. I'm pretty sure I've seen a music app that has eq. Do a search on wpcentral for one. I have an HTC Arrive and HTC has put an eq on it so Nokia must have dropped the ball.
6. I used to totally agree with you there. I hated bing at first. Now with adding local scout (must have!) I find myself using it all the time and loving. Plus I noticed google sucking lately and read this article (gizmo.do/xhiUe1) which helped change my mind for bing for sure.
Plus the Lumia 800 is so pretty and WP7 so slick that I wouldn't care about most of the things you have stated above. I use skydrive for all my file sharing so don't need my phone to be a usb stick.

The search button is an easy fix, Under
[[[settings>Region+language>Browse and Search Language]]],
set it to something other than USA. I have it set to my country, trinidad and tobago, and the search button defaults to google

Well, I don't know if that is true, but unfortunately it is still stuck in bing for Portugal and UK.

[Q] Product Code?

Just bought my Lumia 800 this friday.
I checked the product code which is:
Code:
059N2C3
This device comes with:
Code:
Type Designator: RM-801
Software Version: 1600.2479.7740.11451
On the packaging box is says CV Denmark so it should be a Danish version.
Then I checked RM-801 in Nokia Data Package Manager and it can't find this particular product code I got.
Are Nokia still adding product codes, since this isn't showing up yet?
I can see that there is a Danish product code for Cyan which is:
Code:
059N4C1
And that got the latest 8107.
I guess it will be there eventually, just wait a little longer. The lumia just hit the market in Denmark right? You can check if Zune has any update available; 8107 is being rolled out since the 19th or so. The last Lumia will receive the update 2 weeks from that date because updates are made available in batches.
CV means Country Variant (=unbranded).
Yep the device just got here. I'll wait a bit longer for the update i guess
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
Guys, how can you do a quick check on the product code, eg. at a store?
Hmm so far I haven't been lucky with the Lumia 800. The first one I got had an annoying clicking sound when I used the touch screen on the right side (probably wasn't seated correctly in the casing). Then I went to exchange it for a new. The new one I got has a scratch on the inside of the glass. Hopefully the next one will be in perfect condition without any flaws
My screen sits slightly further in on the right side than on the left. But I think that I will keep it as it is.
I called Nokia Denmark today btw. regarding the battery issue that is oviously still there. The supporter verified that there was indeed a problem and that there will be a new firmware update very soon to fix that. I'm assuming it's going to be version 115xx. The current version is 11451. Well at least it is at Telenor.

Yep so is my 3rd and proper Lumia 800. A huge thanks goes out to the great customer service at Elgignten Viby. She wrote to the other department that I had to open the device in store and check it for flaws before I left, so I went and checked and all is in perfect order now.
Sweet I'm glad to hear that you finally got a good one.
It's a really great phone if you get one that works.

You could read the code off a box (I think), or check the carrier line in the about section. The second one wont show you a code, but it will tell you if it's branded or not.

i have noticed that when i write or respond to a sms,the first words that i write are shown with a delay....and some times even up to the first 5-6 words dont show up just after 1-3 seconds...does anyone hase this "sms bug".
T Mobile lumia 800 on 12072 and I get this when I type an SMS quickly. Usually the words do register in time (not always though) but there is a lag. Glad I'm not the only one.

I don't have the exact same problem, but I had some issues when entering text fast in other applications. It won't show up for some seconds. Seems like a OS Bug.

It clearly is NOT an OS bug, I have never encountered it on any of my other WP's. It's again Nokia who is to blame for inefficient firmware...
I've experienced this exact issue with my Nokia Lumia 800 - Telstra... Also the phone lags when playing back phone recorded video from time to time. My revious Mozart exhibited none of this behaviour...
Anyone here reported this to Nokia? I am planning to do so today. This usually happens after I have played a song or podcast.

I too have this sms lag on my lumia 800. i had this issue on both formwares : 12070 and 12072. I really fed up the no of bugs in this phone.
please guys post the following bug as well. following bug is present in 5 of my frnd's lumia 800 as well. XDA please make sure this new issue reaches NOKIA. So that they can do something about.
Even i have got this latest 12072 update but still dr is one more bug guess u have not noticed it. Can u please check and clarify with the following bug description.
1." Connect you nokia handsfree or any headphones to your lumia 800 and make a call and notice that u cannot adjust the volume. Volume remains high (max) always even if you reduce the volume to zero."
2."Connect your hands free or any head set to your lumia 800 play music and reduce the volume to 15 or less now make a call again you cannot adjust the volume of the call. now cut the call and now your music starts playing in max volume which you will not be able to reduce. Until you remove your hands free or headset and reinsert it.
Hmmm, i have had three different lumia phones pass through my hands for at least a week each (used them), two of them (both on hw revision 2.3 and black, german unlocked model) never had this issue, while one (hw revision 2.4 in blue again german unlocked model) had this issue, all three of them were running 12070. could the hw revision be a culprit?
My phone is not 2.4 and I notice the lag sometimes.
Always thought it was background processes causing it.

ah ok, i just had to ask. Right now i cant be sure i didnt or did have any background processes open when this happened on the one phone it happened, but i believe i mostly had the stuff closed (ie no multitastking in the background).

Find it funny that in all the footage they're using all kinds of stuff to use the screen and in reality it's no better than anything else. I remember seeing a demo after the event of sumone who wud swipe the iPhone really fast for like two seconds, the phone would move on the desk and not give it a chance, even using the ends of his fingers. Where as showing off the Lumia he'd press down smoother and firmer with the tips of his finger and take his time lol.
When Nokia are showing stuff off at events or any one for that matter, you cannot ever believe them, they're gonna bull**** to sell their phone. Just wait for the real reviews and go see the phone yourself before making a blind decision. It's like the camera and how the video they pretended was of the Nokia 920 and then someone spotted the reflection of a bigger camera. How when they compared those night shots between phones the 808 is somehow worse than the 920? Obviously they've made the others look worse by turning off night mode and what ever else.
This is not true, there are photo comparisons with night mode on also. This pics were made from,, the verge'' and also engadget made some comparison pics with night mode when they was in Finland. So stop talking bull****, cause you have no idea.

Then how do you explain the 808 being worse when it's got the better camera?
Also how do you explain the press shots being so smooth and perfect but in real world shots by people other than Nokia they're all grainy and poor? Also I know for a fact that the GS3 didn't have night mode on in those pictures because it came out as that and they refined it.

Lol. Way to go. thanks for the review.
I personally was really sad when I watched them and saw, as you stated, that Wifi turns off on sleep/standby. Its so obvious to make it optional. I dont want my 3G limit going off when I am covered with wifi both at work and home and push notification is always on. Plus skydrive wifi backup of photos and videos, those shouldn't stop just because phone goes to sleep. I mean like if I update something on my pc/notebook and it auto-syncs to my skydrive, then it will only START to sync on my phone when and if I wake it up??? Too bad.
Also similarly what happend if on standby and Skype call comes in. Does it switch to wifi when I pick up? That needs some seconds to reconnect doesn't it?
In short, common MS what the hell where you thinking? And you had a beta tested 7.0 for more that a year. Didn't anyone in your guru team notice why its stupid to not have option for this???

I feel you man!
Wifi goes off after 1 minute in standby if there is no traffic. If you are downloading in standby it doesnt go off.
Not really a review, but imo the best hands-on video yet, 18 minutes long.

Huh why all the hate?
Ask the random Canadien guy () for example how he felt about the night shots? You can find tons real life pictures taken with Lumia 920.
Lumia 920 takes best low light shots out there, 808 will remain the best camera phone, but that's not a big surprise. Nobody is buying 808 phone with huge hump on the back.
Anyways so far looking really good. Will likely order white Lumia 920 by the end of this week.

Thant is well and ok, but what happens in the scenarios that I mentioned?
So:
1. Phone is on standby
a: Skype call comes in and I pick up? Video?
b: New file gets uploaded to my skydrive (from other source)? (This in particular is very often for business user)
c: I receive a mail or other push item?
a skype question: when the phone is in standby, and you receive a skype call, once you answer the data should change from mobile data to wifi; does the switch disconnect you from the call? only asking because had this problem on android (not to mention the skype app crashes constantly too...)

Not bad for the Verge and their anti Microsoft stance. Higher score than I thought
The Wi-Fi and multitasking thing really sux man...Damn, I really would like to switch to lumia 920 or a WP8 device generally but I don't know. Probably just gonna get the nexus 4 in the end, price/specs/software is just better...Thing is, I just want a more unique device this time around. Might forgive those flaws though, we will see.
I picked up the 920 a couple of days ago, and started a thread that has some good discussion and photos I've taken.

Dude, those are some GREAT pics!! I can't wait to get mine!
A More Balanced Review!
Phones 4u have done a rather decent review of the 920. Worth a watch.

Got my 920, bricked it in 60 mins :(

I picked mine up from an EE store yesterday and had a few issues when setting it up. The app store kept throwing up errors everytime I selected an app from a list, and my work exchange email just wouldn't work so I attempted a reset (Settings > About > Reset).
Bad move, now all I have is a Nokia logo on my screen. I've tried the 2 button and 3 button resets but have not seen anything on screen apart from the Nokia logo and the low battery screen.
That'll make it 3 x 900s and 1 x 920 I've returned this year. Probably time for me to give up on Nokia and just stick with Samsung.
Have you tried starting it up without the SIM in? May seem silly but my first EE SIM was faulty and it made my phone get stuck in a bootloop. One new SIM card later and it was perfectly fine again!
Only on XDA.

Just passing by this forum an saw this...
that's not normal my friend, for 900 or 920 devices, or perhaps you are unfortunately one of the most unlucky people alive. But statistically that suggest that you would have more luck staying with Nokia, the chances of there being 5 dud devices (assuming no user intervention helped them on their broken way) is astronomically high, changing to another brand resets that statistical analysis to zero, ergo if you are just an unlucky person you will more likely have problems with Samsung
Well all 3 of my 900's came from the same store and were white. I've always suspected that they were all from the same delivery and production batch so put that one down to bad luck. My L920 I think may well have been user error from when I did a hard reset, thinking that I couldn't connect to the app store because my phone needed a reset rather than because the store was down!
However, there are number of people posting in the WPCentral forum who have also killed their phone on a hard reset, so I tested my 2nd handset in the store before leaving and it survived a hard reset so I was happy.
I've now got a replacement and it's all good (apart from the horrid rattle when the vibration goes off for an alert).
My sister exchanged her L920 too as it was suffering from freezing everyday. Hopefully her 2nd handset won't be as troublesome.
I think wp8 is not stable because this is same problem in every other wp8 phone. Microsoft should do something quick before it's too late.

Apparently the rebooting bug is already under investigation .. switching bands from 4G to 3G and/or using different APN settings seems to work for some.

I know this may not be the right forum but I'll say this anyway. This here is a classic example of not understanding probabilities. Intuitively, this argument seems right - since you've already had 4 devices which had problems, the probability of having a 5th device with problem is very less.
However, in reality, the probability of getting a device with problems is not related to the past. So whichever device you choose, your probability of getting a dud device is same regardless of how many problems you've had in the past.
I know this doesn't help but I thought I'll take this opportunity to clear this up
My 2nd handset is now 6 days old and so far I've encountered the following
1) The loud vibrate rattle. I had this on my Lumia 900s so I'm really unimpressed Nokia haven't resolved this issue yet
2) Slightly crackly sound from the loudspeaker (not the earpiece) - this is a minor issue for me really
3) 1 random reset/lock up.
Honestly, it's issue #1 that actually bugs me as #2 is minor and #3 will get fixed in a software update at some point. 1 reboot in a week is fine.
SO my dilemma is whether I take the phone back again this weekend to exchange for one which doesn't rattle :S
I believe they all rattle because of the springs in the camera. You could get the 8x, it's arguably a better looking device with no rattles . However, it'll mean sacrificing Nokia software and that camera. 8x camera is very very good, but the 920 has the best cam of any phone (barring 808).

Hello all this is my first post as I am a new nokia 920 yellow owner. I wanted to comment to show there is currently a solution to bricked devices due to factory reset bug. I have not tested it but, it should be avaliable to everyone considering the people that buy online and don't have access to quickly exchange a device. I hope this helps out some of you.

I have my Lumia 920 for 2 weeks now, never had a single reboot or anything else. Runs very smoothly and does exactly what i want

Best camera, except for some reason Nokia's production camera firmware makes some things far too bright and edges in all conditions are not very sharp.

with regard to brightness, not even a £1000 DSLR can always get it right, experiment with white balance, artificial light can be a real problem to adjust for so quite often you need to set that manually, not saying that's your problem, but id strongly suggest you try changing those settings
