Guys,
Just updated my lumia to
OS:7.10.8107.79
Firmware: 1600.2483.8106.11500.
Now my soft keys below the screen are not lighting up if i set the screen to manual(High or medium brightness). It only works when brightness is either low or on auto. Since i just got it and updated it without using it i don't know if its a software bug or not. Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks
It seems they do not work as you describe. Many have said this on a number of forums after the 11500/11501 update. Question is, did Nokia make it this way? We are not sure.

hi.. i have lumia 800.. is tango out yet??? i mean the official version n not the chinese version??? how do i update if so??
thanks in advance
When the "official" is available for Your phone will prompt You to connect to Zune....
If you want to flash before it is ready, You can search for it in Firmware+ and flash with Nokia Care Suite. Just search this forum for How To.
But for now it is still only available in the Chinese version :S

Well I am missing a couple hours of battery life
I have been looking forward to internet sharing/tethering/hotspot feature on Lumia 800 since last year. So yeah, they better release Tango for Lumia 800 soon.
so till have to wait huh.. ok.. i am certainly missing battery life and bluetooth tethering.. n wat about bluetooth file transfer?? will it be available in tango or only in win8??
Bluetooth file transfer is not available in the Tango update, I doubt it will be included in Windows phone 8 but you never know until it is released.

I think Nokia are going to put out a Bluetooth app for sending photos.
Dose anyone know if Tango will have any effect on the Lumia 800 after 12072?
Stand by power is pretty good, but using the net for 45mins to an hour can kill by the battery by 50%
Hello,
since I got my Lumia 800 I am hearing sounds coming from Modem itself - that classic "doo doo doo di di doo" D) - it happens on both speaker and on headphones out. It doesn't happen always! And it is most likely interference inside the phone, because with A2DP headphones it doesn't happen either.
Is it just problem of my specific phone or is it known global issue with all 800s?
Regards, Andrew
// I got my phone with some older drivers, updated to 12070 with Zune. I then quickly updated to 12072 because of the nasty volume bug.
I have the exact same problem and it's really annoying. :/
No issues for me (Lumia 800 RM801, 12070)...
Same issue here, badly designed circuitry inside.

I personally don't think where gonna get Windows Phone 7.8 untill around Christmas I reckon Microsoft aren't gonna be in a rush to update current devices to look like the newest ones and will want some exclusivity on the new look

welcome to the club.im in the exact same position
From what i have learned so far
there is roms to download,but not a rom that completly changes the phone. The windows platform is way more locked up than the android os, so overclocking and all this stuff is not possible. I anderstand that the windows platform is so well polished that its not nessesary to do something with it. ive just got my 800 too, and also feel like an completly noob coming from android.Good luck!
I'm new to lumia 800 too been running it for nearly a month and impressed. Started with iPhone,Android now Windows not been disappointed so far.

good to hear! think ill be satisfied as well. i dont care about the best camera,or biggest screen,or the most apps.. i use the phone mostly for browsing and sometimes games. Ive seen test where the lumia 800 have been as fast as the iphone 4s, and sometimes slower,and sometimes faster. thats enough for me I also like thath even tho the phone doesent always load the pages on the browser fastest all the time,it shows contents first and is readable first i cant wait to get the 920 later. bet the browser there is very fast
Wait a few weeks, maybe just a few days, and you'll get an update to WP 7.8.
Hello people..welcome to WP! B)
Lumia 800 with HW rev 2.3 (settings>about , HW revision number) can be fully unlocked with root access , if you have one..ill help you unlock
Lumia 800 with HW rev 2.4 cannot be rooted , but there is another way to unlock it for temp you , you can PM me ill let you know since the tuto is not allowed here on XDA.
cheers
Hi all, is anyone experiencing this issue with your 920?
To reproduce:
- Power off
- Press power button and immediately swipe up to unlock
Will it unlock after the immediate initial swipe?
Which ROM/Carrier/Country model you have?
Thanks
UPDATE
After personally testing on several phones/brands, can confirm this is not a Nokia specific issue, it's a general issue with Windows Phone 8 (or at least most ROMs).
Phones tested and having this issue:
- Nokia Lumia 920
- Nokia Lumia 820
- Samsung Ativ
- HTC 8x
(all of them have Windows Phone 8)
Phones tested and not having the issue:
- Nokia Lumia 800
- Nokia Lumia 710
- Nokia Lumia 505
- Samsung Focus S
(all of them have Windows Phone 7.5)
This might not be relevant, but also tested on a Galaxy S3 (has the issue) and iPhone 5 (does not have the issue).
So since this is Windows Phone 8 related, I have created a Uservoice topic, please contribute voting so MS can resolve this soon:

Hi pckshd! I tried the same procedure on my Lumia 920 and dident get any problems.
The phone Unlocks as fast as i swipe the finger over the screen direct after pushing the power button.
Info:
Phone/Model - Lumia 920 (RM-821_eu_sweden_235)
Firmware - 1232.2109.1242.1013
OS - 8.0.9903.0
Best regards

i too had similar experience. But it gets ok when i keep he mob unused for half an hour. Now i turned my display and touch settings to high and now not much of a problem. so try this.ok.:good:
Stop focusing on the details of life
bro... I tried it on my 920 too, it has the same problem. The problem is that the lockscreen doesn't appear right away after u press the button. If u wait for it to appear and then swipe, then u wont have a problem. I don't think it'll ever get fixed, prob has sth to do with the WP8 architecture itself. Don't focus on those problems, makes u paranoid. when I first got my 920, I always focus on the little things like how the top is not tight so u could press it down, and how the dust gets into the FFC. after a while I came up with the epiphany that no phone is perfect, u just gotta enjoy it and ignore the minor details. I can c that ur a huge wp fan cuz u got the 800. 920 is a big leap from 800, so y not enjoy ur time using it?
hope this helps u

True no phone is perfect but I was kind of used to the 800 responsiveness (and other WPs, different brands), now every time I grab the 920 I feel I have a heavy and laggard thing in my hand, its kind of not letting me be fast and agile with it...
Of course its a powerful beast, just would love to have that thing resolved.
