Ending of a call still seems to be bugged. The screen prefers to stay black after talking. Pressing the power button is often needed for me for the screen to go on. But then it can flicker on & off a few times. Usually I just wait for the other one to end the call which ends it on my end to. If I press the power button though and quickly press "end call" I can also end it.

I have heard some needing something drastic as reboot when ending call as the phone freezes? I have never experienced that at least. It's just behaving weird when ending call.

Seems to have something to do with the screen-off time of the phone? Like when I talk over 30 seconds which I have it on it bugs. If I just make a quick call it usually works as expected.
[Nokia Lumia 800] tjramage:
Weird... I have never experienced anything like that, and I've had the phone since December.
[Nokia Lumia 800] dannejanne:
Many of us does! Some worse than others it seems.
[Nokia Lumia 800] shawchyn:
I agreed! My friends and I do have this problems, but it doesnt seem to be only limited to Nokia, I'd the similar issue with my HTC Mozart and HTC Radar. Just not as serious as Lumia 800.
[Nokia Lumia 800] namtrac:
I see the reboot-after-unable-to-hang-up-call problem semi-frequently. Didn't test with new firmware yet.
[Nokia Lumia 800] jnr21:
I don't see any new camera modes...
[Nokia Lumia 800] Razorfold:
Go to sound settings and re-tick Key Presses.
[Nokia Lumia 800] hkkla:
Just swipe your thumb over the proximitysensor and the screen turns on again. Its to the right of the Nokia logo.
[Nokia Lumia 800] shawchyn:
Installed the India version, beside having the "MSN India" (which can be uninstalled) there are nothing special or different from my original. I believe it is save to use.

One thing i notice, I can't turn off the camera shuttle sound! Am I missing it?
[Nokia Lumia 800] deeaz:
its true. u cant disable camera shutter sound
[Nokia Lumia 800] kingcartwright:
maybe due to some sort of law that prevents people in India taking sneaky pictures... not sure just an idea as to why
[Nokia Lumia 800] shawchyn:
This is ****!

Got to get the tricks to disable it!
[Nokia Lumia 800] pemell:
You can't. Some asians countries have laws that requires all cameras to have a shutter sound. There isn't any way to disable it. Yet... We need to be able to change the os, and as to now we can't.

You just have to wait for some other firmware from another country.
[Nokia Lumia 800] ciapata:
There are no problems with keyboard sounds, but now each keypress sounds the same. There are some differences between letter and functional keys (spacebar, shift, etc.), but in older firmwares every single keypress gave you subtly different tone to mimic mechanical keyboard. Now it's gone.

I would post the link, if I could, sorry.

PS:

Hello everyone, just realized today i wrote my first post. 6 years of lurking ;)
[Nokia Lumia 800] pemell:
6 years! Never seen a member lurking for such a long time, on any message board. Must be some kind of record. ;-)

Sorry, off topic.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Razorfold:
Oh lol, yeah I wouldn't know about that since the first thing I do is untick that option.

I like to have my phone's volume set to max so with that option on the key presses are just ridiculously loud...hint Microsoft, we need multiple volume settings =P
[Nokia Lumia 800] Alfi91:
please confirm if anyone is still having this problem or anything similar to this problem..have two lumias..one is a friends which is on orange and it continuously has this problem..every 2 days..i do not seem to have this problem as mine is sim free..i am scared that after updating i might start having this problem
[Nokia Lumia 800] aslan93:
had this problem occur about once in two three days on the older one.. first day running the new software, couple of calls no problem at all yet.
[Nokia Lumia 800] hkkla:
Try swiping your thumb or any finger over the proximitysensor, its to the right of the Nokia logo at the top. Then your screen lights up again.
[Nokia Lumia 800] shawchyn:

[Nokia Lumia 800] tjramage:
I flashed the Vodafone NZ firmware. When typing a message, spacebar, backspace, return etc, all have a higher pitch tones than the others.

The Vodafone NZ firmware has the option to turn off the camera shutter sound.
[Nokia Lumia 800] jnr21:
Is nokia care servers down? Maybe they're uploading some new fw's :D
[Nokia Lumia 800] Blackcorsa:
yes i think.

Can´t download the FW list. No Connection
[Nokia Lumia 800] jnr21:
Now there is one new fw for vodafone nz too, dunno what's the difference...
[Nokia Lumia 800] tim.snoek:
I also don't know what the difference is. but what I see is that the newer one (RETIAL) is 54MB larger than the other one...

maybe the new Nokia Drive 2.0 and Nokia Transporter is included.

see link: LINK

or the google translator: LINK
[Nokia Lumia 800] shawchyn:
Ya, the new New Zealand ROM is

"Nokia 800 RM-801 Vodafone New Zealand NZ Matt Black V2 Retail MO"

Don't know what is the different with the non Retail MO version, anybody can enlighten us?

Nokia staffs??? :rolleyes:
[Nokia Lumia 800] jnr21:
I quess it's some demo fw for retail stores...?
[Nokia Lumia 800] ShotSkydiver:
The retail Vodafone firmware has a demo mode that is intended for retail stores, upon flashing the device will install "demo content" (texts, calls, fake contacts and pictures) and play a demo movie after being idle for one minute.
[Nokia Lumia 800] shawchyn:
This sound like a "screen saver" to me :D
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
It's fully interactive.

I actually took a retail model out of demo mode. I really wanted to see gameplay on the Titan, but the AT&T retail model wouldn't allow for marketplace downloads. So, I created a Live ID and logged in on the phone. It performed a hard reset and took itself out of demo mode. I felt kinda naughty, but the game sure looked great!
[Nokia Lumia 800] shawchyn:
-= solved =-
[Nokia Lumia 800] ciapata:
There's a bug in indian rom. Set the volume below 7, plug the charger in and you will hear that "charging" sound at full volume. Similar thing happens when you play Dash 3D. Below 17 it goes full volume, actually it is louder than 30.

[Nokia Lumia 800] aslan93:
Lets hope roms for other countries come out soon..

I also noticed today that the three touch keys at the bottom actually switch off(light) when you are exposing the phone to a lot of light, even though at max brightness inside they stay on. Nice improvement
[Nokia Lumia 800] svarog84:
I am still waiting for EU rom. I am glad that improvements is present and it doesn't matter if i flash few days later.... And I want to debrand my TIM version :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] magic55:
Still nothing for EU. Why Nokia, why ...?
[Nokia Lumia 800] dannejanne:
Why wait if you want it so much? There's really no difference anyway. Just a few extra images in the wallpaper folder is the only thing I have seen that differs from my previous EU firmware. A few apps also of course but those can be uninstalled which was the first thing I did.
[Nokia Lumia 800] magic55:
Battery life. Thats why Im waiting for new firmware.
[Nokia Lumia 800] ShotSkydiver:
I finally got the ROM flashed... it was a *****, but it finally happened. The india ROM wouldn't verify, and I had to put the phone in recovery mode, but I got the NZ rom flashed. My backup wouldn't restore, and I've tried to restore it to all kinds of different firmwares but nothing worked.
[Nokia Lumia 800] dannejanne:
Yeah but the Indian 12070 firmware that you can download is the latest firmware, which isn't any different from the EU firmware really.

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

As far as I know, if you flash new firmware yourself it renders all backups made for that device useless.
[Nokia Lumia 800] magic55:
I can't see this indian rom in navifirm. Only vf nz.
[Nokia Lumia 800] jnr21:
Just flash vodafone nz or india fw, battery drain is fixed. I live in finland and i'm using vodafone NZ version.

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

Check "Nokia 800 (RM-801)" in navifirm, not "Nokia Lumia 800 (RM-819)".

Edit: You were right, there's no india fw anymore. Just flash vodafone version (not "retail mo").
[Nokia Lumia 800] dannejanne:
Only that one is branded.

I can see the Indian version is gone again from the list.
[Nokia Lumia 800] deeaz:
My Lumia is still ****y on battery after update to 12070 . i will go back to 11501 for denmark , its works as the same . :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] seppe82:
I can confirm that. My battery also didn't last longer. With 3G I got 17 hours today. With the previous firmware I got the same. In my opinion 3G is the main consumer and drains the battery very fast. With edge I get around 1 1/2 and 2 days of uptime.

For your information: I flashed the Indian ROM (black). However after the firmware upgrade the sound is noticeably better. The bass is much stronger but I still here click sounds when I switch songs.
[Nokia Lumia 800] dannejanne:
My battery life is also the same on 12070 compared to 11501 it seems. I did not have bad battery life to begin with though on previous firmware. I agree though, 3G is what sucks the most out of the battery. But still I easily get a full day with heavy usage so I'm all good. I charge my phones every night regardless of how much juice is left by the time I hit bed.

The biggest step up is the music. Now the sound is rich as it should be. The lockscreen doesn't lag nearly as often now either when unlocking.

And oh, I accidently gave you a thanks for your post :cool:
[Nokia Lumia 800] Noppes123:
Tried that too, nut will recheck everything.

Senr from my Samsung GT-P7500 with Tapatalk
[Nokia Lumia 800] seppe82:
Okay, then we share the same experience. I just wanted to tell everybody that they should not expect any wonder from the new firmware in the battery department. I also was happy before the update because I could make a whole day with one charge. For me the biggest improvement is the sound through headphones. Thanks for the thanks! You get one back ;)
[Nokia Lumia 800] seppe82:
I could download the firmware with navifirm 1.6.1. Here you see the possible choices!
[Nokia Lumia 800] magic55:
Probably you have it in cache. I checked this morning at work but now I can't see that.
[Nokia Lumia 800] jnr21:
I get max 14h with 501 fw and with 12070 i get 40h...now i'm happy. If you allready have goot battery life, this new fw doesn't give any improvements for battery.

edit: I have india fw files if someone needs it.
[Nokia Lumia 800] magic55:
Yes. Please ;)
[Nokia Lumia 800] jumpistef:
just checked (local cache cleared), indian versions have disappeared

people using the new firmware please confirm if the new firmware has end call issues? a couple of people said they dont..have they experienced it again as it doesnt happen all the time..only once or twice a couple of days
[Nokia Lumia 800] tjramage:
I personally have found battery life to be better. I'm syncing with Windows Live, GMail and Facebook, plus a few background push notification services and I'm only dropping ~1% per hour now, when in standby... Before, it would drop 2% - 3% per hour. Quite a big difference when you think about it.

I'm running the Vodafone NZ firmware. Indian ROM is still on their server, I'm downloading it now (using an older cache which still had links to the India variants).

:)
[Nokia Lumia 800] reubenyap:
Hmm so I flashed the v2 Black 12070 Vodafone and everything works fine EXCEPT marketplace.

My Windows Live ID is registered in Malaysia

I set all my locales to Malaysia as well.

Before this marketplace worked with our local Malaysian market.

Now it doesn't. Keeps on saying marketplace is not supported in your region/country.

Anyone experience the same thing?
[Nokia Lumia 800] shawchyn:
I'd installed the India ROM, beside having additional "MSN India" and can't disable the shuttle sound, the rest work fine!

I'd 3 IMAP sync at every 30mins, 1 exchange sync as it arrived, 1 Live A/C sync every 30 mins too. FB sync, messanger on all the time, new ROM five additional 3hrs in using! I consider it is improve!
[Nokia Lumia 800] Haksu:
It is certainly a good reason, because the Indian rom is pulled back, maybe some bug ?:cool:

1600.2487.8107.12070 is OUT! I've just upgraded via Zune. I'm based in Singapore
[Nokia Lumia 800] jnr21:
Are you sure? I can see only vodafone NZ in navifirm.
[Nokia Lumia 800] nazeem_15:
I just installed it too, in Singapore.
[Nokia Lumia 800] mutabor:
I was surprised myself. They pooled off Indian firmwares and I was thinking that this should be taken as a sign that we won't see the update for another few weeks. And then Zune delivered nice surprise message to me :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] shawchyn:
Check thru Nokia DataPackage Suite, only NZ is availble.
[Nokia Lumia 800] VoodooKing:
Confirmed. Updated via Zune.

Singtel Singapore.

Any news for the Malaysia 12070 ROM?
[Nokia Lumia 800] ZeroHour:
Those that got the upgrade through Zune, do you know what product code you have?

I have noticed some more firmwares tipping up inside what looks like the proper "Nokia Lumia 800" area now. AU CV appear to be there or is that a different version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaolinx:
I am not a fan of contracts, especially since it cost ~$100/month(3GB/unlimited txt/talk) and $300 down ~ about $2,700 for two years for a galaxy note at at&t).

But... I really wanted a at&t's Galaxy Note. So here is what I did - I went to AmazonWireless and purchased an ATTi717 without contract for $700. After hearing about the low price for unlimited data/talk/text, I went to Straight talk and purchased a sim card with the 45$ unlimited plan(they have discounts for bulk purchases). This results in about $1,780 for two years without contract.

For some reason, I just couldn't get the data plan to work correctly(strange enough, youtube worked). After hours of research and being stuck without data, I decided to unlock, go root, flashed cwm, and flash various ROMs. Finally, I found one that worked that gave me full functionality.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BigBrotherMotown:
Can anyone COSIGN this....I am VERY Interested
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
you ended up saving 200 dollars over the span of 2 years. thats not worth it to me.

but others may see it as a plus.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jsntrenkler:
It amazes me that at&t charges so much and yet you can get virtually the same service through a MVNO that uses their network for much less.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] highwayman1224:
LMAO!! All that hassle to save $8.33 a month over 2 years! Oh well, guess it's worth it for some people.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaolinx:
Actually, you can save up to $360 for 2 years if you buy the 1 year bulk from straight talk.

In addition, you are not locked into a contract. This is a BIG plus for someone like me who sells/buy/change Android devices all the time. :D

Galaxy Note hands down best smartphone tablet so far! Think I will stick with this one for a while.

Not really a hassle if you do it the right way the first time. Rooting/Flashing CWM takes about 10 minutes to do and flashing the right rom takes less than 5 mins. People will save time from my experience/pain :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
Can you pull a few speed tests for us? Prepaid carriers have always been kind of screwed with what they can do on the networks. The "use atts network" but they are relegated to the prepaid network which typically means less coverage, data speeds, and more likelihood of dropping calls in a high att contract area
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scotty2hotty1125:
Nice find! I don't have that as a carrier, but the more things we find like this, the better! Great job.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fiveoneooo:
Yea i think it's a hassle also, no lte makes it not worth it to anyone in an lte area and my understanding is that straight talks 3g is is about half as fast as att 3g, but my bill is also 90 a month and not 70
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaolinx:
First test on the list is with 4 bars, second is with 2 bars.

What speeds do you guys get on your LTE and/or 3G?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrDSL:
Where can I sign up for unlimited everything with AT&T for $70 bucs? I'm not talking about some plan thats not available anymore but a plan I can get now..

I went to AT&T.com and picked the Note with an unlimited minutes/texting/3gig data/insurance

The bill comes to $126.99 a month and thats not including all the BS fees tacked on at the end..So we'll just say $130 a month..

2 years = $3120

cost of phone= $150 (its 300 but hell ill cut a break here)

total = $3270

Straight Talk unlimited

2 years = $1080

cost of phone = $700

2 years insurance= $120

total = $1900

Yeah I'll save $1370 over 2 years and be able to sell the unbranded/unlocked phone for more at the end on ebay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mikebionca06:
I love Straight Talk been using it on ATT phones since the Nokia Swap started I use about 7-8 gigs a month and it cost me 45 better then the att 2 gig cap
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adelmundo:
What would have happened if you had bought the Note for $149 during the promo period, buy out your contract after a month and pay $324? You could have had the phone for $473. That would be another $227 saved (plus the cost for 1 month of AT&T contract service) instead of buying it from Amazon at full price.

Sometimes you can save even more on the monthly if you buy the 6 month or 1 year prepaid cards from Amazon or eBay, which sometimes sells it less than buying it direct Straight Talk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thanhdang:
The total cost would be : subsidized $149 + activation fee $50 + tax $25 + 1 month of service($120) + ETF $324 ~ $620 and a hassled time to call AT&T to cancel it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaolinx:
I just went online and added AT&T Galaxy note with standard unlimited plan with 3gb data. I made a mistake and clicked on the 450 minute plan which resulted in $70. unlimited data with 3gb is about 100$ per month for individual

Don't forget a major blow to your credit score. Everytime you sign up for a contract and fail to complete its service agreement of x-yrs(i.e. cancellation) your credit score goes down. Might as well open a chase checking account for the bonus rewards then close it if thats the case...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thatguyitsme:
I just activated straight talk sim and got this and web and mms worked within 3 minutes of activation
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrDSL:
Hmmm the cheapest unlimited min plan I can find is $69.95 and thats not adding anything else..

Its safe to say that ST and buying unlocked is the cheapest way to go..Carriers aren't dumb and they know that locking you into contracts..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Twistedchild420:
Got my unlocked euro Note on straight talk and i'm LOVING it! $45 a month for everythinh and peep these speeds

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Truaim:
LTE caps at 50+ mb/s.

Kinda solves the debate of prepaid vs AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesd86:
With straight talk they don't add tax to their plans so even though it says 45 /month its not really. Red Pocket is another MVNO of at$t that is 60 a month for unlimited talk/text/2gb data that you don't have to worry how you use it. You can get discounts from callingmart that puts it at 56 or 57 a month, only 5 or six bucks more than ST after their taxes and you don't have to worry about your data being shut off for overusung...you get 2gb when that runs out you're out till you add more.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cahg65:
Straight Talk is a great and smart selection i got 2 lines for the past 2 years

I have no problems at all. My Galaxy S2 Skyrocket goes to 4 g data speed 7.02 Mbps download and 1.94 Mbps upload.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
Question for the OP. Why did you decide on the ATT instead of the International Note? Do you live in an LTE city?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] deserthi:
This is just flat out wrong. You are buying your way out of a contract...Paid in full!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] btothec:
These were on LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mikebionca06:
My straight talk is 47.80 after state sales tax so they factor the other taxes in the price also I've been using ST since the nokia swap trick averaging about 7-8 gb of data a month no issues
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thatguyitsme:
Straight talk used to call me and say don't use so much data when had the Nokia e71 sim, but i haven't heard a peep from them since maybe November? They were crazy too would call till they got you to answer.

Most AT&T markets don't have LTE and i don't think ST are as focused on throttling now that they sell the sims on the front page of their website. That said, i never thought i would be a straight talk customer lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaolinx:
Na, I thought the att version looks better without touch button.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BigBrotherMotown:
Im Curious

Would someone on straight Talk mind running a speed test WHILE ON A PHONE CALL? I would like to know what those speeds are....

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thatguyitsme:
This was while on call
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BigBrotherMotown:
Wow....so surfing the net while on a phone call is pretty much NOT going to happen....LOL

OK
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaolinx:
it seems it could take up to a few hours to get the data plan to correctly register the device, which could explain why http website didnt work for me the first time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaolinx:
Update: After a few flashes and resetting the APN, I learned that the reason why my internet wasnt working before was because I followed the APN settings on the Starter KIT. It tells us to set it to proxy.mvno.tracfone.com. DO NOT do this, it will not work. Do NOT SET THE PROXY...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rg1973:
So use there settings but don't put the proxy setting in? Also curious what roms u guys r using with the straight talk, if we r using straight talk I'm sure the att bloat would be not usefull
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaolinx:
Yes just leave it blank. Theres only two ROMS right now and the one iam using is SAUROM. It already removed most if not all the bloatware from at&t.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] baudilus:
Here's why I would probably never do this:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] i_max2k2:
I'm paying $60 in my family plan for Unlimited (read - capped) data, unlimited texting, and free any carrier mobile to moblie and we have about 8000 roll over mins, which nets to $1440, I find this very economical and the phones cost was about $150, that totals to $1590.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaolinx:
I don't see why anyone would need such fast speeds... except for Downloading(theres wifi for that :P). 3G speeds runs HQ stream just fine :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rg1973:
Thanks man

Root and flash rom and I'm set right and configure the straight talk
