Email is set to manual. Which I assume means don't do anything until I tell you to.So you don't have email on it fetching data? No live tiles? Either way, with your signal strength, it definitely shouldn't be giving you such crappy battery life.
It's not doing anything as far as I can tell. There's nothing open, I even tried uninstalling some of the (very few) apps I have on there.
Signal is 4/5 so I wouldn't have thought it was too bad. Tempted to disable 3G as I'm guessing that would probably help.
As for selling it, no, I just want it to work like it should.
i think all we need to do is take the current ot and add lumia squares. (and some phones, which we can get off of http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/buy/7/default.aspxOkay guys, I put these together in just a couple mins, but I would be happy to refine them. I want this threads feedback on it if you dont mine.
This is for the Header
Confirmed: Visual Voicemail is working! After going in and setting up the phone, and all the default VM stuff, there is a new "Voicemail" tab in the phone showing voicemails. You can then tap any call in the list to listen to them.
Yesterday no one went through the VM setup yet, so it wasn't active, thus my confusion. But yea, fully working as long as you have the feature on your plan.
Addiding this would be cool as well.
Did you make this gif?
I don't know what Facebook Chat is, but I went to the background tasks screen in the settings menu and everything there says "off".Turn off facebook chat if you aren't going to use it. Go to the settings tab, and see what applications run in the background.
They made it available on the Windows Phone Blog a month or two ago.

great. can you confirm the white lumia? doooo iittt T_T
thats fine.Can't seem to get a good confirmation on that. I'll keep looking, but sadly, that type of stuff is outside of my normal scope at work, so I'm out of the loop for that stuff.
I wish it would be quicker.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now the big question is what happens to a non Lumia 900 that gets VVM enabled??? If this is a possibility I'm calling my corporate rep now.
Edit: Seems like you have to be on 8107 or higher. Damn you AT&T.
Yea sorry, WP as a whole is pretty foreign to me, so I don't know the answer to that one.
Also, I've been digging, and I can't seem to get any definite confirmation on launch colors. It seems Black and Cyan are certain, but anytime White is mentioned, it isn't with regards to launch stuff. I'll keep looking.

I said this last month and people jumped on me saying it's a beta. Hmph!The Skype app is really, really terrible.

What themes Accent Colors are available?
Under "Settings > System" Are there any options below feedback? That's were manufactures can place there own custom stuff. For example my Titan has "Attentive phone", "camera modes" and "sound enhancer"
The only new Accent color is "Nokia Blue", which is just a darker, sort-of royal blue. All the others are just standard WP7 stuff. And the only thing listed down there in the Settings is "SIM Applications", but clicking on it just brings up a prompt that "No SIM Applications are installed" etc etc.
Where did you get the info about 8107 or higher? I have that firmware loaded up, I'd be willing to try getting it on here if there is a method online.
Has anyone found a reliable cross platform IM app? Kik and WhatsApp have the same problem and are unusable
msn?Has anyone found a reliable cross platform IM app? Kik and WhatsApp have the same problem and are unusable
What problem? Is it with unreliable notifications?
Yes.
MSN then. I'm not sure about the iOS and Android apps but the Windows Phone one is obviously awesome (built into Messaging) and the BlackBerry one is also very good. Or you can use Facebook Messenger on the other three platforms with Facebook Chat (built into messaging) on your phone.Yes.
Hello, experienced WP7 users. I've got four questions for you:
- Have you ever felt left out when it comes to certain aps available for other platforms but not for WP7? Do you sometimes experience a disadvantage in this area? How common of a problem is this?
- How customizable is the OS? I mean, I've seen some youtube videos that show you how to mess with the tiles so that they're not in a plain color and the likes, but it looks like you need to root/jailbreak/whatever the right term is. But out of the box the OS seems pretty bare-bones in this regard.
- What is the roadmap for the OS? When can we expect WP8? Or will we just get little gradual updates? And how future proof are WP7 phones? Does MS try to make sure that as many WP7 devices can upgrade later on? Or is that not feasible in such a quickly progressing market?
- What are the impressions on the Nokia Lumia 800. I've been messing around with it, and purely based on the looks (yeah, I'm shallow like that ) and initial interaction with it, the device is mighty fine. But I'm not an expert in regards to smart phones. Is the Lumia 800 a competent phone? Or is there an obvious better alternative out there?
Thanks in advance, guys.
2 but especially 1 is disappointing. Even though I don't know what I'd miss on WP7 right now, the idea that I will come across amazing apps for Android/iOS that don't have a WP7 equivalent is pretty off putting.1. The WP apps are generally the step children of the bunch, iOS has a much higher quality of first party apps.
2. Customization is limited to your color (which is one of eight or so different preset choices, no color wheel type editing.) and live tiles.
3. Road map is Apollo in Q3/4 and we dont know a whole bunch about it. As far as new hardware goes OEMS are ... Waiting for Apollo.
4. Nokia Lumia 800 is amazing.

4. Yeah, the Lumia seems like a very competent phone in the current market.
I might impulse buy one anyway, but my gut keeps telling me that I better wait and see how healthy the WP7 market(share) -and thus the app library- becomes in the following months/years, before making the jump to that platform.
Hah, I'm in the same boat, but that UI and the Lumia's design is just too attractive
I'm not really sure how 1 is relevant, seeing that Android suffers a bit from the same issue, with apps on both platforms being a bit lacking on Android.
Not counting games, I don't feel like I missing out on much with regards to apps. Even when I used my iTouch a lot I just didn't care much about apps.
It just feels slow and it doesn't appear as an icon on the lock screen which means I had to pin it as close to the top of the phone as possible in cases where I might have left my phone on my desk or something. I'm not sure how it performs on iOS and Android however. I've only used it on BlackBerry and Windows Phone and both have much better messaging options (BBM and MSN/FB). I really only use WhatsApp to communicate with people outside Canada.What's wrong with WhatsApp? I rely on it pretty much essentially for IMing and I'd rethink moving to WP if it's flawed in some way D:

Posted yet? AT&T is officially NOT bringing the keyboard update to WP7.

Unfortunately there are deeper functionality problems than Firestorm has mentioned. It isn't the app itself however. A couple of IM apps have problems with displaying notifications of new IMs and when they do, you have to wait a while before it actually shows in your conversation; it is messed up. As other apps suffer from similar problems, it suggests a bug in the OS and one that has yet to be acknowledged yet unfortunately. But if WhatsApp is a vital tool for you then you should reconsider getting a WP7 handset.
