[Nokia Lumia 800] jordanprudent:
If your not bothered about rooting or the customisation of android then go ahead , wp7 is a much improved version of iOS, just as fast and sleek but with menus and a better looking UI. I have a lumia given to me as a work phone. Not my cup of tea personally , wouldn't dare swap my gnexus for it but has good features as well. Build quality is top notch , decent camera (Carl Zeiss lens) , very nice screen. Down sides , poor customisation apps are slow to use , not the best app choice , no developer support and its a new os. Also because it has the funding of windows and this is one of the most important areas to the company then you know its not going to go web os way , you are going to have a phone with updates and a lot of services. (Nokia maps/music/zune )

My advice is if your looking for a iPhone because you like the way it works (simplicity etc) then the lumia all the way as it works in a similar fashion. If you appreciate the way android works (rooting roms customisation and the actual os) then keep your s2 as it is still easily one of the best phones on the market.

I'd stick with the s2 but if you got a lumia I would doubt you would be dissapointed.

Hope the upsides and downsides I have listed my help you a little

[Nokia Lumia 800] jhughesy:
Good choice. My colleague here has the SGSII and gets around 16 hours battery life and has problems with apps crashing and the os lagging/random reboots. No such problems with the Lumia and I get 24 hours with heavy or 36 hours with light use.
[Nokia Lumia 800] sangio89:
I bought a Lumia 800 few days ago but still can't get to 24hrs.. I tried the diagnostics tool and get a 1505 mAh full charge, so I have no battery problems, but still after a few hours of heavy usage the battery dies(90% of times wi-fi is off!!!), tips?
[Nokia Lumia 800] SvanteH:
Define heavy usage and define "few hours". I watched movies for 2-3h yesterday and then went to sleep, woke up and fiddled with the camera and checked Facebook regularly until now, 45% battery life remaining. Estimated time remaining: 14 hours. Time since last charge: 13 hours
[Nokia Lumia 800] sangio89:
I have never seen "remaining time 13hrs" ;-) this say's it all!

Now I have 27% with 3hours left.. I never use wifi and i deactivated (i think everywhere) GPS localisation for pictures and stuff like that..

for Heavy usage I mean mail check every 15/30 mins, 5/6 web pages opened per hour and half an hour of games every 8/9 hours with medium brightness... I don't even think that this is "heavy".. with my Nexus S (SLCD) i can get to 40/50hours with no problems and with the SAmoled one I can complete with no problem 1 day (18 to 24hours).. Is there any option that I have to set to get my battery to last enough to go to sleep with still 10/15% left? thanks
[Nokia Lumia 800] discohero11:
Same, my L800 is about a week old now. Battery life so far is not very good and nowhere near the advertised or GSMarena's 35/40 hours.

Right now: 88%, 12 hours remaining, 3 hours since last charge. Rather high battery drain considering low/moderate use. 1529 mAh full charge capacity.

No crazy apps that are always on using data connection except WhatsApp. I don't use twitter, I don't religiously check FB and RSS feeds are on manual refresh since I am in front of PC most of the day. Some calls, whatsapp and a few emails during the day.
[Nokia Lumia 800] SvanteH:
At the moment I got 94% remaining and "Estimated time remaining: 1 day 6 hours".

Sounds like you have a battery bug of some sort.
[Nokia Lumia 800] discohero11:
I certainly hope it is a bug and the upcoming update fixes the battery issues for all. There appears to be a massive disparity in L800s battery life reports. Some people have the confirmed but where battery doesn't fully charge.

What is your drain rate in Diagnostics? Idle with screen on is between 120-135 mA with occasional spikes into 200+ mA. What is your usage pattern, more or less?
[Nokia Lumia 800] SvanteH:
Doing around 185-200 mA idle screen on. Phone syncs to gmail/facebook/calendar, I check it about once a hour, at night I watch movies for like 2-4h and during the day I try out my apps that I developed or other ppl's ones.
[Nokia Lumia 800] discohero11:
Yes, must be some kind of battery bug.

Doing some math (1529 mAh battery as reported by my L800) and battery durations as provided by Nokia and GSM Arena test.

http://blog.gsmarena.com/nokia-lumia-800-battery-test-now-over-see-how-it-did-test/

Hours	Drain (mA)

3G standby	265	5,77

GSM standby 335	4,56

Average	300	5,10

2G talk	13	117,62

3G talk	9,5	160,95

3G talk (GSM Arena) 8,42 181,59

Average	10,31 148,35

Music	55	27,8

Video	6,5	235,23

Video (GSM Arena) 5,87	260,48

Web Browsing (GSM Arena)	4,12	371,12

The phone should last an average person 18 hours assuming a typical 8 am - 2 am day ...

45 mins talk (110 mAh drained), 2-4 hours web/SNS (800-1200 mAh drained) and say some music for 2 hours at the gym (50-60 mAh drained) ... that still leaves 10+ hours of idle drain of around 5 mA according to Nokia.

@SvanteH: You phone's battery life is simply exceptional but do you actually get 24+ hours of usage out of it or are you down to below 10% at the end of the day?
[Nokia Lumia 800] SvanteH:
I usually charge it every alternate night + some hour usb charging during the day
[Nokia Lumia 800] discohero11:
I'm jealous of your L800's battery life, trumps mine by a large margin.

[UPDATE] Unplugged at 100% charge and it said 14 hours remaining. Sigh.
[Nokia Lumia 800] fbloise:
the battery life is very good on the lumia.

but be prepared.. there is no voip apps like Skype, Fring... Facebook doesnt support groups (unless you go to the mobile site using mobile internet explorer), kindle doesnt allow sideloading, Whatsapp doesnt send video and crashes a lot (cant delete messages with tons of pics in it)...

i dont know, i came from using a Galaxy S2 but as some here point, the apps were force closing all the time and the battery life sucks.. at least they were same apps as in iOS. Facebook was ok with groups and chat.. yeah yeahi know you can chat on Faceboo using the Lumia but thats it. It is like text chat, no pic sending like iOs or Android. Same app since september.

then there is the iphone.. same damn menu since the 2007.. the only cool thing is the "apps" library. Other than that, is rubbish..

Dont know, lately i've checking that microsoft is launching all the exclusive titles (kinectimals, halo app) for iOS along with skydrive, Onenote, soon Android too.. If they continue, then the WP OS wont be so appealing to me.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Jragar:
I have found if I turn off 3g I can last a day. if I unplug now I get 1 day 5 hours remaining.

I used to have 14 hours remaining or less when I had 3g on. the phone learns over time the average it will last. if you're hammering the 3g, it will drop faster and will reflect that.

hopefully the firmware updates increase battery efficiency
[Nokia Lumia 800] discohero11:
I have very bad 3G reception during the day so I have 3G off actually (so that battery isn't wasted searching for 3G signal and switching bands). That said, the difference is negligeble (under 1 hour).
[Nokia Lumia 800] N37-L0RD:
You'll be surprised how smooth Windows Phone can actually run on a much weaker hardware (weaker specs, actual build quality is superb).

The battery life on Lumia should improve in the next update (Q1 2012) and they have also promised us wireless tethering (internet sharing) and some other goodies.

As far as the overall user experience is concerned, Lumia is way better (I've also had Android before) but there are, of course, still some things missing here and there.
[Nokia Lumia 800] FinancialWar:
What about coming from a 4.3" to a 3.7"?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Hemlocke:
Just import the Lumia 900, and *voila*!
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
The keynote speech at CES was very disappointing to me. Seems that AT&T is going to wrap their tentacles around the Lumia. So, I've given up hope of the US variant (RM-819) coming out anytime soon and just placed an order for the EU CYAN model. So very excited!
[Nokia Lumia 800] FinancialWar:
The price son! the price!

SGS2 at the moment is about $400, Lumia 900 will be at least $700.

You're basically paying $300 for the OS and lower hardware spec!
[Nokia Lumia 800] jhughesy:
You don't know it will cost $700. And the $300 is for Nokia style over Samsung cheap plastic look. :D
[Nokia Lumia 800] whitealien:
I don't know about Lumia 900 price, but in what I'm dissapointed is that they use exactely the same hardware as in Lumia 800, same CPU, same 512 of RAM, same 8M pix back camera. The only difference is larger screen and front camera, oh right, LTE modem for US.

It seems they are hurring up to jump in time on LTE train.
[Nokia Lumia 800] SvanteH:
Wasn't Nokia forced to make a LTE version to even get it sold in the states? If so it wouldn't surprise me if that was the only real changes they did assuming they want it on the market before it gets too old.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theangrycoder:
Hi,

I purchased DVP from eBay from the guy who slightly used it. It seems its was a T-Mobile version. When I got it first time and inserted my sim in it and started the phone, it stucked on a screen which says.

7:41

Saturday

January 05

try again in 16794320 minutes

And I can't do anything on it except for the emergency call (or camera button works). I can see full signals, and also can receive calls. But can't make any call (except for emergency) and any other operation on the phone.

Is there someone who can suggest me whats wrong with the phone and why it is stucked in that weird situation? And most importantly, how can I get rid of this situation?

thanks.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theangrycoder:
Thank you for your reply.

But is there any way to unlock it? Please suggest.

thanks,
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinister1:
Yes, the only option at this point is to do a hard reset. take the battery out for about 30 secs., put the battery back in and hold both the volume up and volume down buttons at the same time and hit the power button once while still holding down the volume buttons. You should see a white screen with instructions, follow the on screen instructions. Note that you might get the rainbow screen, if this happens just repeat steps until you get the white screen; took me a few tries but it works.;)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theangrycoder:
thanks for the suggestion.

I am trying that, but it seems not working. I kept pressing both volume keys and then press power button and it simply boots up, no white or any other screen.

Somewhere else on the internet, I read that you can't hard reboot Dell Venue Pro using buttons, the only way to do that is using its about menu (I never saw about menu of Windows 7 as this is the first time I am using it). Is that true?

thanks

Sameers
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinister1:
Make sure you hold the 2 volume buttons down and then press and hold the power button for a second but keep holdin down the volume buttons the whole time.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theangrycoder:
Believe me, I tried it exactly as you said.

Hold down both volume buttons.

Pressed the Power button and released.

I took off the battery for several minutes and then put that back in and then tried it. But it just booted normally. Holding down the camera button though takes it to the USB mode.

I even tried that with and without SIM card.

Are you sure you tried that with Dell Venue Pro?

thanks, I appreciate your help
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dante501:
Ok first of the Dell was my favorite Windows phone but lacked some things that other Windows phones have like after Mango update the caplebility to WiFi tether and the camera is just hands down awful. Anyway I have a Titan now. Anyhow I gonna help you. Like I mention the Dell lacks a few things other windows phones have and one of it is the hard reset button combination. It won't work on the Dell. Your best thing to do is contact dell they can help you getting the phone back up running for you. Sorry.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhoff80:
I believe that the thread in the Venue Pro forums about how to unbrick it will apply here to fix your issue.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinister1:
Found this on line (Google is your friend):

How to hard reset Dell Venue Pro using phone buttons

1. Switch the phone off, if it is unresponsive, remove the battery and reinsert after few seconds.

2. Press volume down and camera buttons simultaneously and keep holding it.

3. Press Power button and then release it but continue holding the volume down and camera buttons.

4. Once you see the format screen release the pressed buttons.

5. Follow the instructions to reset your phone to its factory default settings. :cool:

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forelli:
What you've tried so far was Volume buttons, not Volume down+Camera buttons. Try that first and don't give up, on some phones you have to try many many times (my 2nd Desire HD wouldn't allow me to get to the boot loader before 15 minutes! I sold it the next day and I still owe the 3rd one).

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theangrycoder:
thank you forelli. But remember, the volume down and camera buttons causes to boot in USB mode. I am not sure how it will get it to hard reset.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bugnuzi2:
I'm following Indirects post on how to root tablet. When I ran Nook and Zergy I accidently clicked the older version (from 1st time rooted﻿ back in Nov) so it didn't prompt for System mods, honeycomb or any of new adds. Should I unroot it and start process all over?

I'm posting this here because I'm not allowed to post in Android Development section.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
check out the hijack adb app and watch my video on it. It allows you to use the updated root to patch so you dont have to unroot and reroot.

Hey

Turned off my phone to switch sd cards from my 8 gb kingston to my new 32 gb samsung, but now I cant get the phone to turn on. It turns on the display and looks like it is trying to charge even if there is no cable connected. Furthermore it displays a warning I interpret as a overheating symbol for the battery. It a yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark inside and a temperature gauge next to it that reads 80 or so degrees.

I have tried with the old sd card, the new sd card, with charger cable, usb cable from computer. My 2000 mah battery and stock battery. It still wont turn on. Cant get it to download mode either.

Please help

I managed to get into recovery and was able to reboot the phone from there. After it had finished it made the sound when connecting the charger alot. Even thogh no cable was connected to it. It has stopped though but i'm quite scarred of turning it of now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stalkerzone:
It wont charge now. Doesn't register when the charger or usb cable is plugged in and everytime i turn the phone off and see the overheat symbol it drops a lot of battery power somehow. 25% i one drop and fra around 25 to 6 after that.

Remove your micro SD. Really. Retry just after you pulled it out.

Sorry about your GSII man...

Btw, what exactly does this mod do? Make the detail sharper?
[HTC Sensation XL] TheiPhoneKiller:
i miss it a little :(

what it basically is a screen mod which Sony Ericsson use on there xperia phones which sharpens imaging,tweaks contrast and saturation and makes colours more vibrant and reduces noise,so the overall effect is the quality of screen looks more lovelier.its a post processing engine so you can only see the improvement on the phones display,if you turn the brightness on the screen to max,look at it and then apply the mod and then look at it again you will see differences in quality.

its explained it much more detail here :)

[HTC Sensation XL] jamieelockey:
Things do seem different but I honestly don't think its major, I like the screen as it is anyway. I'm came a Motorola milestone 2 which was a very crisp screen and has very natural colours. The screen on the XL may be low res but, everyone who uses my phone and plays on it say they love the huge screen and I agree haha!
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
yea difference isnt major but apparent in gallery and some videos. the screen on this phone is the biggest selling point as it is a joy to view
