WP7.8 Start Screen - Nokia Lumia 800

Hi,
I may bem missing something fairly obvious here but i have updated my Lumia 800 to 7.8 however i cannot see the new style start screen or a way to activate it.
Any idea what i'm doing wrong?
OS Version 7.10.8773.98
Firmware 1750.0805.8773.12220
It still says Software Windows Phone 7.5 tho? I have installed all available updates on Zune.
Any help appreciated.

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

Is Nokia Phi first WP8 device??

Hello! WP Bench often reveals the secrets of the new Windows Phone devices, this time highlighted device called Nokia Phi. In this device, the system is installed Windows Phone OS 8.0.9698.0. Build number is significantly different from the known assembly Tango 8773! It is very interesting, isn't it?
Check it yourself!

I don't like the name at all, hopefully it's just a test unit. I'd love to see the actual scores tho :/

WP Bench scores can be faked… I don't really trust this.
And now it has the Nokia Lambda with 8.0.9638. They're greek letters (codenames in my opinion)

If you look at WP Bench at this time you will see: Nokia
PureLambda OS 8.0.9842
this is a newer version than the Nokia Phi, and the name is PureLambda... the Pure part of the name maybe reveils that a Windows Phone also will have an 41Megapixel Camere just like the Nokia PureView 808....
All except the Lumia Phi are fake...

[Q] tango

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%

[ROM] Lumia 800 RM-819 - 1750.805.8773.12220 Navifirm

Hi everyone!
Searching from news in Navifirm saw today that this version is rolling out to our Lumia, anyone knows about it? Flash it or not?
Does it worth?
Great search!
Unfortunately I cannot find it. The latest version I can find using navifirm 1.7+ is the 1600.2487.8107.12070.
Probably tommorow on the upcoming Microsoft event, Nokia will release new Tango (aka refresh) firmwares for the Lumia.
Nevertheless, as anyone download this and tried it?
Hi, i don't have this in my navifirm+ v1.7, if you can upload we can test this. Thanks.

Do you think MS will release WP8 to Lumia 800? I got this phone only last night, so i'm really ignorant regarding all this.

It isn't yet clear if Microsoft is going to make the the Apolo compatible with existing phones.
There have been a lot of rumors and sayings on this but nothing official.
I think today is the day they will clarify this topic, but I believe that, with Nokia backgrounds on providing frequent updates, at least the flagship phones (Lumia 800 and 900) will be able to be updated.
Let's cross fingers and wait they have the good sense to make wp8 compatible our phones.
UPDATED: The news aren't good with T-Mobile saying: «a statement posted by a T-Mobile Germany representative that the handset definitely won’t be receiving the update. The latest information comes after T-Mobile customers pinged the operator asking when the handset was due to be released on the network.»
NO WP8 to existing LUMIA or WP phones!
All the phones will be DEAD! specially NOKIA!
Well, i figure out after a clean cache that firmware on Navifirm went out, someone was not supposed to put it online, so thats why quickly disappeared.
About Windows aka Apollo 8 , nobody at least Microsoft or Nokia can afirm that, we can only especulate and personally i think that will cause Lumia 800 and 900 are the flagship of Windows Phone, if they wont update it will be like a totally shame. Imagine if Apple launched iOS 6 only to run in the new iPhone coming...

correct...
im using the china variant tango past a month now, without FB integration but with wifi sharing and a VERY VERY NICE BATTERY BACK UP, im happy!
Well, it's official.
Although Microsoft's newly unveiled Windows Phone 8 boasts exciting features like more customization options and integration with voice-over IP, one unpleasant suspicion we had about the new mobile OS has been confirmed: current Windows Phone devices won't be able to upgrade to WP8.
That Nokia Lumia 800/900 we've just bought! Consider it a obsolete for the next year :-(.

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

potential idea for wp8 on lumia 800

I'm a former android developer away from XDA, and recently switched to WP7.5 (now WP7.8) on the lumia 800. I've looked around, and the biggest difference between WP8 and WP7.5 phones seems to be the processors...
I've done a quick comparrison and the closest match seems to be the Lumia 820 (correct me if i'm wrong) now here's the question: can the lumia 820 rom be downloaded in such a way that it can be edited freely like the android rom, if so, i'm happy to play with it to see if i can get it working. but i don't want to lash out a couple of ton on a phone if it's not going to even let me grab the rom.
What about kernel?
