Hi,
I have got a Nokia Lumia 800 from VodaFone Australia. I have debranded it by installing Country Variant of Windows Phone 7.5 (yes). All is working great.
Yesterday I tried to get 7.8 but Australian Country Variant has not been released so I used Asia Pacific version (059L975: RM-801 VAR APAC1 IN CV MBLACK) and all is well but the incoming and outgoing calls will not recognise the contacts stored in international format. All my 400 contacts are stored this way for a reason as to when I am travelling overseas, I don't have to change the number.
I turn on the "International Assist" settings in the phone settings. Is there any other special setting anywhere that I need to turn on?
Can anyone who has done the same confirm that this issue is not happening on their phone and if so which version did you download?
I do not use the bluetooth share or ringtone maker so I don't care if any other version may not have them.

Hi All
I have an unlocked (not debranded though) HTC 7 Mozart which is branded to T-Mobile Germany.
I have put in a UK T-Mobile SIM...and in the UK it has been working fine voice, data etc.
However, when I first went overseas with it (Italy) the data connection did not work at all..got the text message saying need a booster package etc. to use roaming data.
Responded to text to enabled data booster and T-Mobile acknowledged active...but when trying to browse internet it says "page not found" (rather than showing agreement splash screen) and emails are not syncing.
Checked that roaming enabled (yes) and also tried 3 operators (Telecom Italia, 3 and WIND) but all no good.
Wanted to check APN settings but Windows Phone 7 will not allow it (only option to add a new APN!) :-(
Other people with Tmob UK SIMs (different handsets such as Nokia E72) were working fine.
Any ideas as to what is going wrong ? (maybe Tmob Germany handset with Tmob UK SIM is not good ?).
Thanks

Looks as though the answer was to Add APN with the correct UK APN settings - I think the T-Mobile German ROM must have an embedded German APN (not visible though) which you have to override by doing an Add APN.

Hi,
I've got a new unlocked Nokia Lumia 800 and I've got a big problem with it. It seems that it cannot always sync all of my accounts (email, Facebook, windows live) properly. I think that the problem is related to my internet connection. Internet Explorer is working properly. I live in Luxembourg and the Lumia does not contain settings for Tango Luxembourg. I entered the APN settings manually.
Now, Nokia has published the Network Profile app, but it is not available for my handset, even opening the Zune link on the handset doesn't work. Sideloading isn't working either because it is not INTEROP unlocked.
Does anyone have an idea what I could do?
Thanks,

Hi Everyone,
I have just joined Giffgaff in the UK as service provider. They use O2 network so they are classed as a "virtual provider" as far as I know.
I have entered the APN info in order to get on the net and send mails and all works great. But, I cannot send MMS.
>there is no place in the OS to enter MMS details
>on MSFT site it said that the phone will read the SIM on first boot assuming ADC is enabled.
>I reset the phone and still no MMS
> I ring Nokia and they tell me that ADC is in fact enabled in unlocked Lumias.
>how can I check this?
>others say to install the network setup app but I can't because I don't have the very latest firmware
>some have tried this and now say that Giffgaff is not in the drop down menu so therefore can't be used.
So, as I am chevron unlocked, is there any way to change registry settings to ensure that ADC is enabled and therefore hopefully read the info from the sim card?
As long as your phone is debranded the handset should read the SIM card settings after a hard reset.
You should also be able to install the Network Setup app once it is released again (hopefully soon) after it was taken down to be updated.
If your phone isn't debranded then hard resetting won't help and you won't be able to install the Network Setup app. You won't even be able to see it in the Marketplace.
See this thread for more information on debranding.
See this thread for more information on Network Setup app/MMS/ADC.
Thanks for this great info. My phone was bought from Clove and is supposed to be unlocked. There is no branding other than Nokia. The problem is, I think, the fact that ADC may not be enabled even though it is unlocked. I called Nokia to make sure and they told me that all unlocked phones had ADC enabled and it was only carrier phones that had this functionality disabled. I somehow do not believe this.
If auto data config is not enabled then the info on the sim, card canot be read. And I reset my phone in the hope that I could get the MMS details this way but no success. I have read elsewhere as well that even I can get the network setup app from marketplace it will still not work because Giffgaff are not included as a service provider at this stage. Oh, what to do. WHy could MSFT not have given us this functionality within the OS in the same way as our old winmo platform.:-(
Network Setup app has been available for awhile already, at least for me. I just received an update for it through Marketplace this morning.

Network setup is not even in my marketplace because I am running 11451 firmware and it is only available in th every latest firmware (according to Nokia). And anyway, even if I had network setup available to me there is no mention of Giffgaff as a provider so I still cannot get MMS settings on my unlocked Nokia Lumia 800. What we need is either a MSFT update allowing us to change MMS settings or Nokia to include Giffgaff on their app. I think its that simple.
The network setup app came avalible today in the UK.
It would install and run but still couldnt send MMS on a vodafone branded device, so ive just debranded and its all working fine.
So i can now send and recive MMS
We need to get Giffgaff included on Nokia network setup app; simple as!

Hi,
I have my new Nokia Lumia 800
SIM unlocked but TIM branded (Italy)
I am in Bulgaria and the operator doesn't have auto settings for internet (for this model).
I am putting them manually as the people from the mobile operator said, also written in the website.
But there is no connection!
Just Wi-Fi...
Is it because of the TIM? I know there is no logic but...
Also from the mobile operator told me that there must be some setting in the Zune when I connect the device with the computer
Please help me, I realy need my mobile internet
Yes, that approach will not work.
Get your phone on wi-fi, got into the marketplace and open "Nokia Collection". Download "Network Setup". It will set your APN's for both data and mms. Hopefully it understands your carrier and can obtain the settings.
This worked for me, I had the same issue as my phone was set for Three in the UK but I am on o2.
I have TIM version too and it works with all operators here in Serbia. JUst download app suggested and it will work
Thank you guys!
You are awesome.. just like the Lumia
Just one more.. what are the symbols for network (3G, EDGE etc.)
Now my phone have "H" next to the signal bars.
H is short from HDSPA. It is know as 3G+ on some Samsung models and it is the highest speeed you can get
Thanks, I found what are the symbols meaning by the way...
Sorry for the stupid question
i have a recently unlocked lumia 710 that i am trying to use on ATT vs TMobile. the phone dials out and gets SMS, but no MMS or data. all the plans are correct, i called ATT and Nokia, but none can help with editing the network settings now that the Network Setup APP is missing from Marketplace.
I was wondering if there was some other work around? does anyone have a developer app that can edit these settings?
I am hoping there is something i can do outside of the network setup app to edit these settings.
and i know this is a lumia 900 thread, but there is no lumia 710 group/thread.
Same issue for Lumia 900 users on ST
I am also wondering about this.
I have a Lumia 900 on Straight Talk. On the Lumia 800 there was a setting in the diagnostic app (##634#) that would let one add an APN. Maybe that's available on the 710.
If there is anyone in the UK that has the Lumia 900, I would kindly ask you to try this and to see if you can add APN's on Tango, as we cannot on Mango. Therefore we prepaid users don't get MMS functionality.

Change the APN. For AT&T this one should work:
Username:[email protected]
Password:CINGULAR1
Save the settings, turn the phone off and then turn it back on. Maybe some other AT&T users using Windows Phone without LTE can confirm.
For Straight Talk see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1603388
Although this phone lacks a forum on XDA, the Lumia 710 is a "cheaper" version of Lumia 800, hence /moved Lumia 800 General
