Nokia Lumia 800

Can anybody tell me how to lock the screen when trying to turn the phone to view a pic. Pain in the hole spinning the phone chasing a pic.

Does anybody know where to get a Lumia 800 unlocked? I've tried a couple of places in town but they said they can't unlock it yet. I know someone mentioned GSM Solutions earlier in this thread, but they were one of the shops that I visited. I did get a quote of 60 euro in one shop but that seemed a bit pricey!

As the person with the angry lips said, it doesn't matter if you bought it secondhand, so go to the Vodafone website, register if you haven't already, and then request the NAC code on their website by entering your IMEI number. As long as the seller is still not on the contract associated with the phone, then it should be fine.

If you do get the NAC code, the procedure for unlocking is not the same as the typical Nokia procedure. You don't use the "pw..." method on the Lumia. You have to put a sim card from another network into the phone and then enter the NAC when prompted. Its slightly more fiddly than the usual Nokia method but still extremely straightforward.

Which of the Nokia Lumia's would you guys recommend between the 800, 710, or the 610 (Max Budget is 300)

You won't afford a 800 with that budget if you wanna buy it our right. 710 is very similiar just has less storage and different design and screen tech.

Try XDA Developers or google "cab sender". There are guides online, if you can't find them on your own then you probably shouldn't try to update on your own.

Sorry i should of been clearer but iv the zune software tells me im up to date to build before the battery update? And iv tried two pcs and checked for updates multiple times now

How long do you have yours for? Some of them from the store already have the battery fix in place.

Unless its obviously on the old firmware

My mother has an upgrade that she does not need (She has iphone 4) Could she get the 800 as her upgrade and give it to me if we are both on same network?

Yip, she should be able to get it unlocked as well if you need it for other networks

I have "Group Text" off and i can still send MMS messages.

Back to this problem yesterday.

I can't send pictures via text. The toggle is set to "On" as it has been since I found it. Sent some pics last month after first reporting this. But now it's back. Won't send :mad:

Can you receive MMS?

Strange that when they are hit like this they want to put emphasis on the lumia area and compete with Android etc...

Would have thought they'd be better off sticking to the simpler, cheaper, more durable models for the non smart phone market.

Well android is eating away at their cheap phone strategy so that's not the answer.

Agree to that. Likes of Galaxy Mini, Y and Vodafone Smart II can be got dirt cheap. What's the point in spending 70 euro for C201 when you can get a half decent smartphone for the same price. Their low end phone game is running out.

Asha series is over priced. I'm actually getting quite worried for the guys.

I have to say in my shop sells the 610 quite well, they have been flying of the shelves. 800's on likes of Vodafone go quick too.

Faster than S3 anyway, but that's just my phone. Three people in my shop use windows phone so their familiar with it and not afraid to sell it. So many other branches try to steer people of them, just because they don't know anything about windows phone. Its as simple as. Some sales reps are lazy...

The only way to go around that is through the low end Market, just the way Android did.

No. Receive the text but can't open the pic.

Does it work with another phone? When i got my iPhone meteor disabled MMS on my account because the phone wasn't supported (at the time). It might be worth either trying another phone, and if that doesn't work call up the company.

There is no reason why a WP7 phone shouldn't receive mms, unless A. the APN isn't set correctly or B. the network switched it off.
