Ok here's my situation, maybe someone can help whats going on...
I have an unlocked, unbranded lumia 800 that I'm using in Korea (yeah not too many winphones here in Korea) that I imported and the Find my Phone feature does not work.
Here's the symptoms
The phone is properly listed under my account at the windowsphone.com website because it shows the apps I downloaded.
Ring and Lock links on the website, after trying them, show that they sucessfully did its respective action, but nothing really happens.
The "Save my location every few hours for better mapping" setting is not even visible
According to screenshots of the main account page on that site, there should be a small map of where I am, but it's not there.
The feature is subscribed on the phone as i remember doing the setup process with the text message and the find my phone feature under settings in the phone shows connected'.
btw, i'm using the 12070 version if that makes a difference...
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance...
Try to disable and than reenable the find my phone under settings.
Maybe it will help.
I have an unlocked model from Hong Kong that I'm using in mainland China and I have the same thing. I even used it in the US with a sim card from Simple Mobile and it still didn't work. Lame.

I noticed that USSD codes (i.e codes checking for balance etc, eg: *111#) are not well supported on our Lumia. Sometimes it really takes ages to process and display the response, and many times it would just hang on 'waiting..' screen and finally i have to dismiss it and try again.
Again the response oriented USSD codes dosent suport at all. As in my Vodafone prepaid, on dialing on *111# I get a response screen with selection of 5 option eg: 1. Check Balance, 2. Data Plans, 3. etc. if it sometimes displays me the option menu, there is no space given to input my selected option (like if I need to know my Data Plan I need to press 2 and send ok), and thus cant do anything.
any workaround for this.
nothing till now... facing the same problem... Service Providers should also provide an sms based query method like old days along with this..
Last month i jumped my data limit and lost a balance of approx 250 INR..
Even balance and remaining sms balance is not shown after call/sms
No Windows Phone handset handles USSD Codes, I guess it's just not implemented in the OS. If you're developer unlocked you could compile and try USSD Runner (http://ussdrunner.codeplex.com/). I haven't tested it, so I've got no idea if/how it works.
IV dev unlocked...will try...bdw..i need help with my lumia 800...psl do reply...

I check my balance all the time on my HTC Trophy. *#100# for meteor in Ireland.
I know, you get the reply but can't proceed further than that.
A have the same problem. I find the partial solution with Nokia Lumia 710 OS ver 7.10.8107.79 firmware 1600.3013.8107.11502
If you call *123*1# you will receive the massage that correspondent to the 1st option in menu.
I am on O2 UK prepay and I have no problems using the O2 USSD's other then I have to press on CALL to send the USSD

Any solution for USSD code running on WP 7?
Hello,
I hope anyone could help me, since I am beginner when it comes to Atrix and Andoid, but let´s go:
I have bought a At&t Motorola Atrix 4G, Android 2.3.6, system version:4.5.141 mb860.att.en.us
Once I arrived to Brazil, inserted my SIMnseveral contacts, everything ok... but, when I receive a call, the calling number shows up on the display, but not the name of the inserted contact. So, it is showed the number, but not the name of the registered contact. The phone is not matching the calling number with my contacts.
I have already created a motoblur acount, restored the phone to factory settings a several times, but nothing seems to solve the problem.
Altough the phone is now in Brazil, its IMEI continues linked to At&t and my carrier says that this has nothing to do with this problem.
My carrier in Brazil is "Oi".
I hope someone could help me here.
Thanks in advance!
Have you tried saving the number as it appears on caller ID? I've had this happen with text messages and it's due to the way the carrier sends out the caller id; for example, instead of (123) 555-5555, the network pushes it out as +1235555555.
Caller ID is an carrier service and in this case is irrelevant. Your carrier is right in saying this has nothing to do with them. The phone shows up names associated with phone numbers based on your local phonebook only.
Your phone being "tied" to AT&T is irrelevant too, you're out of their reach now so they can't do anything even if they wanted to.
I should know, I'm happily using an AT&T device even though I'm halfway across the world.
What kind of format are you using for the phone numbers in your contacts? I'd recommend you use the standard international format, even if most of them are numbers local to your country. Standard international numbers are of format +<country code><area code><number>. So for my country it would be for example +3851xxxxxxx. So try changing some number in your contacts to that and then tell them to call you and see if it helps.
That's very strange, because I've used the At&T rom on my brazilian atriz without any issue whatsoever.
What could fix your issue is what our buddies said above: try setting the contacts with the International number format (+55 21 9999-9999). All of my contacts are like that on my phone and caller ID has worked fine across multiple ROMs.

Same thing, brazilian atrix, AT&T rom.
I keep all my contacts in the following format: '011 9999-9999' and it's worked with pretty much every ROM I've tried.

Hello, I just got a lumia 800 today and man i am blown away by both nokia and windows phone 7.5 :victory:
Anyways, I am facing a problem: I use a prepaid sim and on my other previous phones, after each call/sms i used to get a automatic message regarding the amount used in the last call/sms and the remaining balance for my prepaid sim. But now on my lumia 800 i am not getting those messages after the call/sms. Anyone here knows the solution to this problem? I tried using the counter app by nokia but that only keeps track of the number of minutes/sms. But in the notification which I get after each call/sms, it shows the other things like free minutes/sms left and something like that which the counter app doesnt show.
I really need this after call/sms notification badly
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately Windows Phone is not compatible with that feature. Maybe they would fix this in 7.8 update..
Also reply based USSD code is also not supported on Windows eg: In Vodafone (India) dialing *111# would reply back with a menu of option (action to perform) with a dial back number assigned for the option, which in windows phone is not supported. You would be able to see the option list, but no dial-pad to respond..
And there's no market software for that either.
Thanks for the reply but today morning I noticed after I ended a call, tht message which I am talking about was showing....I was happy so I tried it again by calling someone and ended the call, but then it didnt show up Then I tried calling a couple of times but it didnt work. I dont know how it showed that message just that once....strange
So I think the feature but it only shows once in blue moon.

yeah... but somehow I don't miss that feature anymore......
but yet would like to see it on 7.8
After a couple of weeks of testing I found out that after ending a call or sending a sms, once in a blue moon the remaining balance and the particular amount deducted from your prepaid account message comes up.
Its really coming up randomly, still trying to figure out what actually triggers the message to pop up after a call or sms
Hi
I've searched around and read a lot but couldn't find the answer to my problem.
Here is my issue.
When I dial a number, it tries to call then ends the call right away before it even rings.
Can't receive calls either.
Can't send sms, nor receive sms.
Additional info.
I have full signal and it says my carrier on the status bar
Imei is correct - same as back of phone
Phone is unlocked - checked status
Unlocked with Galaxsim unlock, paid version
used repair gsii by helroz, didn't work
apn is picked up by the phone
carrier sim applications menu shows but don't work
Went back to stock with mobile odin, all the way to gingerbread which I'm using right now.
Please advice on what to do, any help is appreciated.
Interesting; I've never heard of this particular problem before. The first thing I would try would be a different modem, because that's a very easy fix. Also, incorrect APN's could be a factor, even though you say you've already checked that. I would advise checking them again - slowly. Sometimes something as simple as an extra space (or lack thereof, in the case of the 'default,supl' portion of the APN) can cause them not to work correctly.
Good luck.
I've flashed different modems and that didn't work.
Caller ID in settings give error network or sim card problem it says.
Btw I'm trying with different by Sims and both work on other phones.
Apn is correct I double checked. It picked it up auto.
Let me if you think of something else.
Thanks.

Hello,
I tried to use carrier billing in Google Play Store and it keeps telling me "The account verification SMS could not be sent.Please try again". I also contacted my service provider and they have no limits set for me and suggested I check the phone settings or see if something similar has come up for someone else on google.
My friends use it and it works.
I rooted my phone over a year ago and didn't trip the KNOX or anything. Now I unrooted it a few weeks ago and didn't know what ROM to choose. I am located in Estonia which is part of the Baltic States (I found later a reference to a Baltic version ROM for the G925F that I have) and I flashed it first with a UK ROM and sort of bricked it (black screen).
Now I have this ROM installed - Baseband version G925FFXXU3DPB6, Build number MMB29K. G925FXXU3DPBG (is this the right one for me, how can I check it and does it even matter if everything works?) after installing that it booted up right away with zero issues- . And everything else seems to work perfect - I can make calls and sens SMS just fine myself and I have had no other issues whatsoever except for the Play Store verification SMS issue. Can these (ROM version and SMS issue) be related somehow? Anything in the settings I should check for?
What should I check? What would fix my situation? I'm quite frustrated. Hope you can help me. Big thanks in advance!

It doesn't matter which region ROM you flash to your phone. One may slightly differ from another but any is fine to use.
As for play store i have had this happen before. I just updated play store via apk mirror. Go on to google settings, payment, delete the carrier payment and re set it up.
Have you always payed your bill on time? I know if your phone gets disconnected due to non payment it also cancels mobile billing.
Everything is okay with the billing and they even told me that everything is good on their end.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the google play store, it won't even let me add the carrier billing as a payment method. I can add it, I can see it as an option, but when I try to add I get the SMS sending verification error. Even installed a different ROM and did a clean install, etc. I still get the same problem, I am completely clueless.
