Hello,
I have an unlocked Lumia 800 bought in the UK (using here in Canada). I was wondering if the update is showing up for others owners like me ? I didn't get any notification yet.

FW: 1600.2479.7740.11451
HW : 112.1402.2.4
Carrier : CV UK SW variant ID222 v02 (don't know what it means)

Update rollout via Zune is staged meaning not every phone gets the update on the same time. The rollout period is two weeks and started on Jan 19th. You will receive it in the end. There is a 'hack' to get it sooner, put it requires some patients as timing is critical, search for 'disconnect trick'. Good luck.
Thanks. Yes I remember this old trick of disconnecting at the right time, I'm going to wait on this one
You have the same phone as me (UK unlocked & unbranded). The line you don't understand basically means it's a UK variant.
For the mid December update, I waited to get it, took over a week. This time I did the disconnect method and got it on release day.

Hi Rusty, I havn't got the update yeat and I have a UK unlocked Lumia 800. BUT I am wondering on another note. I joined GG last wek and it seems good. I inputted the APN info so I can get on the net but I cant send MMS. I am going to write up a new thread for this now. Can you use MMS and if so how so?
Thanks.
I've not tried, but I'm assuming I cant, as most people on pretty much every carrier cant
Sadly Giffgaff is not included in the Network Setup app either, so we're boned.
Thanks for getting back. Will have to wait and see than. Just don't know why MSFT can't give us this

Exactly in the same situation as OP. I tricked it in zune but i only recieved the OS update and i havent been able to get the firmware update.
Black lumia 800 rm-801
Very strange. I have a stock Lumia straight from Nokia (no branding, unlocked) and I got both the OS and firmware update in one go the day after release. I had to do the disconnect trick though...
I've tried 3 times. I got the OS update automatically on day one. I restored to 7740 and tried again. Still OS only. Tried a few days later and got the same thing.
Waiting up to 8 more days for firmware.
I am still waiting for the 11500 update as well and I sincerely hope Nokia have done something to improve the woefull bass output.

Still waiting for the firmware update. I got the OS update a few days ago and my mate got the firmware and OS the same day. Only difference is his is the black lumia 800 and mine is the Cyan lumia 800
Mine is cyan as well. Did ur mate notice any differnce to sound? We are hoping for more bass

The bass on mine and his seems fine. We both have the monster purity earphones.

Thanks, Lets hope they fixed it. It is just crap on mine, can't use it at all as music player specially as I loke loads of bass. I use winstone 4 and the sound is a disgrace for Nokia.
Can someome point me to a thread/post where the disconnect method is described?
Click update, after a couple of seconds, pull your ethernet cable/disable your net connection and if you timed it right, you'll get the update.
Still no FW update, but I have updated my OS with the disconnect-trick in Zune. Will I still get the FW or not trough Zune?

I originally did the disconnect trick and the only update I got was for the OS. I tried again and again using the disconnect trick but I could not get the firmware update.
Then my friend got the update for his Black Lumia 800 which contained the firmware update as well. So I restored my Cyan Lumia 800 to the previous version. The very first boot up of my phone said there was an update available but it was only for the OS, no firmware.
I tried the disconnect trick again but I still can't get the firmware update.
Hopefully we will all get it this week.

Good news! Nokia have released a statement saying they will be releasing another update to fix both the sound and camera.

I tried the disconnect method but can't get working. I switch to Airplane mode, plug the phone, go to update page on Zune. Do the same again and disconnect at various time but no luck.
I have already the 8107 OS update
[Q] Lumia 900 owner looking for help:Nokia & Orange apps disappeared in Marketplace
I have had my Lumia 900 UK model for 2 days now (this is my 2nd handset) and have had the same problem appear on this one as I had on the 1st. I returned the first for a different problem though.
This issue is that the Nokia Collection and Orange Selection menus which were there initially have disappeared from my Marketplace and I cannot install any of the Nokia Apps (ie CNN or EPSN) or Orange Apps which I could install when those options were there.
This started yesterday when I put a T-Mobile pre-pay/PAYG sim in the handset in an attempt to activate a 1-year free internet offer (different story altogether). When I put my permanent Orange sim back, the marketplace no longer had the 'Orange Selection' available. The Nokia collection was still there.
So, last night I though I'd try a phone reset and see if that fixed it. It was a 1 day old phone so I was only really wiping 5 text messages. However, after the reset I lost the Nokia apps from the marketplace too. I reset again and still no change. I've used the ReInstaller app to get everything back on my phone, BUT any of the Nokia or Orange apps refuse to install, with the 'this app is not for your handset' message displayed on the marketplace page for the app.
So, I'm hoping this has been a regular problem for which the XDA collective have a solution for. Please help. What do I need to do to remind my phone that it's a Nokia and is on Orange??
Thanks
DC
Sync your phone with zune and they will appear. Sometimes you have to sync a couple of times and wait a day for Zune to update. But thats how they appear. And like you said a sim change or a hard reset (!) will clear your marketplace until you sync with zune again.
Hope this helps. Its not an issue, enjoy
Thanks, I'll try that now. The first handset went back for a hardware problem as the sleep and camera buttons were loose. I knew that this marketplace problem would be fixable and common, so don't worry I wasn't thinking that my phone was broken, just a bit confused at how it forgot who & what it is
Thanks,
DC
edit: All sorted, thanks.
did you get your UK model from phones4u? The white one?
Yes. I was going to wait for the blue one to come out, but I saw that gelaskins have a template for the 900, so I can get any colour made up if I want.
I actually quite like the white now, didn't think I would. It looks like it would be the standard issue phone for a Stormtrooper
Does anyone have this enabled? It's the tap and pay portion of the wallet. On Rogers Canada it's disabled. Want the vanilla ROM to enable it or some work around for it.

Well found out that I need a secure sim card to geth the tap to pay feature working. So far in Canada, Rogers is the only ones providing it. Called TELUS and found out that they don't know when they will be getting secure Sims.

Hi, I've just picked up my red Lumia 920 today. One quick question for anyone who's come from a Nokia N8, is there anyway to copy the txt messages over? I have something 3000 txts and don't really wanna lose them all.
I've done quick google and xda searches and came up with nothing Thanks in advance.
Edit: Oh and is there app to transfer stuff through wi-fi? Mainly music and videos
I bought lumia 920 just 7 days ago from us and i got this problem on 5th day.
Power button sometimes work sometimes dont.
I searched on internet and most people had this problem.
After restart it works good for 1 min after that same problem again.
Can anybody help me here how to fix this?
my 920 is old two years and dont have problem... also know two other people who have L920 and also dont have any problems. maybe problems have only specific hardware version series or your phone have hardware malfunction. or previous owner dismantle phone and make crappy jobs...
did you try to take phone to Nokia repair service? just ask for diagnostic...
