Hello everyone.
Tried searching the forum response to my questions but not found.
1. I can not transmit anything via bluetooth. It's really just for my handset or having problems?
2. When I got the phone in my pocket, even with the screen locked, sometimes it turns off. Ie If you press the power button continuously, even with the screen locked, it turns off. Is it normal or is my problem with one?
Thanks

Hi!
1. WP7 does not support sending files via bluetooth since its a very cloud based device. Maybe with Mango we will have that option, but its unclear also because of the security issues...
2. I don't know about other WP7 devices, but with HTC 7 Mozart it works like that. But that never happen to me and i use it on my pocket all the time. Maybe those gel soft cases could help?
Hi,
In Mozart even if you are in the screen saver lock screen a constant press of your power button would switch it off.
There is no alternative for this now and the best way is to use a case (So that the power button does not get pressed when in your pocket)
Maybe this would also be take care of in the next updates
Finally someone who has the same problem as I do. If you follow my post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055060 you will see that I have been *****ing about this power-off problem for some time now. People thought I was crazy. The morons who replied to the posts ALL debated weather or not it happens to them or not. WAY besides the point (and question asked). Windmaster, you are not alone - I share your frustration in the phone switching off whilst in your pocket. One day, hopefully, there will be a solution to this.
I have my lumia 800 for a week, and now its happening something strange.. When i'm in a call for some time, and i want to end it the phone doesn't let me. Its still responsive, i can go to the start screen, etc.. but the phone call remains on top with the message "ENDING". After a couple of minutes the phone freezs completely and reboot.
Someone had the same problem??
It's not happening always, but it's frustrating... I was having such a pleasant use and then this happens.. and i'm becoming a little sad and worried.
I dont's know if its a problem of hardware, it seems software because doesn't occur always.
Thoughts?

Yes, I also had some similar kind of problems today, i could not answer the call, after they called me about 5 times i could, but then could only speak a few words before the call stopped. Also i saw the call was still running after the caller had hung up. I wanted to retart the phone, but it would not start up again, then i took it loose from the charger , and it beeped and after a while it started up again by itself.After that it worked oke again.
I think they have to look seriously at the software, there is something wrong here i believe.
I've also had this problem of calls not ending on occasion. It seems inconsistent so far though. I'd be interested to hear if this seems to be affecting everyone or if it's only a small number of handsets.
I have the same prb. The screen goes blank and cant end calls. Has to force restart

For all WP7 devices the screen automatically goes blank when you are on a call and the proximity / light sensor detects your head up to the phone. However, if the screen stays off when you move your head away from the phone it means your proximity sensor (or software related to it) is faulty as it still thinks you have the phone to your head.
This happened to my HD7 after a nasty drop on a tiled floor the other day; the sensor was dislodged and permanently was set to the "on" position. I could only end a call by pulling out the battery, unless the other party hung up first. And every time my alarm went off in the morning the screen would remain dark and I would have to press the power button to get at the snooze button (this is because the sensor is telling WP7 that the phone is in a pocket or somesuch, and not to turn on the screen as the alarm could be accidently disabled or snoozed).
I fixed it by dismantling the HD7, resettling the sensors and blowing out as much dust as I could. Has been working fine since! I wouldn't recommend doing the same for your Lumia 800 though...
I dont think it is a proximity sensor issue. In doing tests, the sensor works perfectly for calls if I only have the screen off for a short period of time. If I hold the device up to my face for say 30 seconds, then the device usually freezes up and the screen goes blank, not allowing me to end a call. This makes me believe that it is a software issue that, hopefully, nokia can sort out.
Well i have been quiet on this topic as i wanted to see if the update fixed this problem BUT NO.
Today i made a call and it didnt ring but said connected i then pressed end and nothing it didnt respond infact none of the keys did anything my lumia just froze.
I couldnt even turn it off so i took the sim out and nothing still conected i just had a phone that was frozen with no way out .. so i had a usless lumia all day at work untill the battery died..I HAD NO PHONE ALL DAY !!!
I just hope it was not connected properly or my bill will be huge from t-mobile ..
This has happened a few times befor the update and always always when the signal is quite low it seems ..
But its a joke when im stuck with a usless phone all day ..
NOKIA SORT THIS OUT ITS NOT ACCEPTABLE
Hopefully this is a software issue and we haven't all received a bad batch of lumias with wonky proximity sensors.
Is there absolutely no way of reseting / rebooting the Lumia? you just have to wait for the battery to die??! That seems ludicrous!
i face the same problem many time i reset the phone by pressing power key long.
i find if i was in 3G network this problem some times happen ,so i switch off 3G and now it more than 3 days it never happen
Well to answer that question ...no its happened nine times last week, 3 of those 9 the phone is usless and you have to wait for the battery to die..maybe that's why Nokia gave us a short battery life haha, the other 6 times after about 7 min you can turn it off to reboot and the rest of the phone is responsive .. So 30% of the time when it happens U have no phone :[ even a long press of the power button does nothing
Same problem here... You can restart the phone btw: Hold power button for 10 sec, then release the power button and press it again...
This is a big problem for me, hope a fix comes in fast...
Thanks,
Samo
Im having the same issues here. Other than this its a great phone. Hopefully get it sorted soon.
same problem here, although never had to wait for battery to die.
long hold of power (10sec+) usually reboots the phone.
I keep noticing the problem when changing locations (inside/outside buildings) which is usually connected to switching to 3g - if it happens during a call I am unable to end it with screen being responsive and phone saying that it is ending call (for 30 seconds and more)
contacted Nokia regarding this problem.. they told me to reset my handset.. this is the only option they have... DUMB
same problem here... did someone find any solution?
nopes........

You can hold the power button for 10 seconds, this will trigger a reboot.
I'm relatively often facing the same issues, worth noting is that it does seem to connect the call as I have had customers tell me they heard me grumbling before the call got disconnected (so I gotta be more careful with grumbling )
Happened to me last night, just turned the phone off (power for a few secs then slide down) and on again.
Hi, ive had my Lumia 800 for a week now and must say im loving it. I switched from an iPhone and it was the Metro Interface that did it for me. I got the Lumia 800 but im having the following issues:
Touch Screen Issues
Ive noticed when scrolling around the screen launches things without me clicking. Simply moving my finer over clicks a link on web pages for example. At first i thought it was me and my fat fingers. But then ive noticed that if i press the back button the phone vibrates 2-3 times. If i then press and hold the back button the seems to be pressing it over and over again. Its very strange, If i press really hard it doesnt happen. Anyone else having this problem? Im hoping the recent firmware update resolves this but its not available for me yet.
Camera "PINK" Spot
Ive also noticed that the camera has a "Pink Spot" right on the centre of the screen, Its hard to notice when taking normal picture, but then when i hold up to white background its very clear. Anyone else having this issue.
Battery (resolved)
When i first got the phone my battery performance was very poor. After a full charge i only got 10 hours use. But it got better each day and after 1 week im now getting about 35 hours on general usage. This includes Wifi always on, 1 gmail account using push, bluetooth off, loads of txts and few calls a day.
Anyway, those are my issues, if anyone else has any thoughts on this it would be much appreciated.
Yes the capacitve screen is a bit too sensitive, can probably be fixed in the same way as other phones that have had this issue with software.
Pink spot isnt that bad on here, seems all camera phones suffer from this in certain lighting the iPhone 4 being the worst with its massive blue blob in the middle of photos
So after almost a month of use,the home button has developed a weird sharp "click" sound when pressed.Its functioning completely normal, and after searching around a bit I found similar complaints in a few threads on xda and other forums as well.
I'm not really OCD about my phone buttons, but I'm wondering if its an issue I should be concerned of in the future? Does anyone else have this problem? There are loads of complaints in various threads, but no suggestions for fixes. I was thinking of spraying some WD40 in the crack but I don't want to do anything stupid without asking for suggestions.

Home button is not very steady but the real disgrace are the volume and power buttons. Such low quality buttons should be in a 100$ phone , not S3.
Anyway , you can use Button Savior from playstore to protect your home button.
Hmm..Didn't you try just to disable S-Voice?

haha. he's talking about a hardware issue - the button makes a clicking sound when pressed, even when the phone is off
isnt' that supposed to be normal with sound that button ? just like mouse ...
Thanks for the replys guys.
@qtwrk- definitely not normal. Its just not uniform- sometimes it make a sound and sometimes it doesn't. All i can hope is that the home button does not stop working later
My Lumia 920, running gdr 3 , doesn't vibrate, I can hear the vibration while holding it too close to the ear, this has been happening post-Amber update.
Tried hard and soft rest too, doesn't help.
Any fixes?

hardware issue
send back to service center
or you can try hit your phone strongly with your hand, the vibration may come back
My 920 sometimes like that, but finally, I sent back to service center to fix it
