I have an annoying problem with my Nokia Lumia 800

I lose the Time & Date settings every time I power it off.


Problem has existed since I first got it but have been trying to resolve the problem.

Googling the problem would seem to suggest I am not alone.


I have tried all suggestions but nothing will resolve the problem.


Changing the time to AM/PM as opposed to 24HR.


Making sure Auto Update is checked.


Turning off Wi-Fi before powering down.


Making sure I have Full Battery.


Checking Time Zone is correct.


Anyone have the same phone and experiencing the same problem

or knows how to resolve the problem.


I believe reset to factory settings may solve the problem but then I will lose all my data.


There is currently no S/W update available for my phone.


Foxy.

As it was happening from the beginning, I'm not convinced a factory reset will resolve the problem.

But I'm pretty certain all Data will be lost. Contacts, emails, texts, Apps.


Not worth risking. :-(

Hello Mr Fox, I too had a Lumia 800, mine did the same thing, I solved it by never turning it off!


Factory reset will clear the board, back it up via Zune.


But the glitch is in-built and will return.


Wait to the end of contract and go for a phone that runs 8.1 Great improvements have been achieved


I went for the Lumia 1020, primarily for the camera and is soon to be discontinued

Had the phone some time now.


Keep my phone on at night.


Only ever turn it off if requested to by being in restricted area.


I do like the phone and has a good battery life.


Having said that, it is not possible to access the battery or open up the device

without resulting to some serious brute force.

Aren't all your contacts, emails etc synched? I don't see how you could lose them just because you temporarily don't have them on the phone.


Or is it not an Android phone?


And apps you can easily reinstall, "your" apps should all be listed online in one place?


I did a factory reset on my phone for a different issue, and it really was a lot less hassle than trying to sort the initial issue!

Its a Windows Phone so my numbers are stored in Windows Live.

Not sure if numbers removed from phone are removed from Windows Live.

I would suspect Windows Live is synched to my device.


I do not want to loose some of my my Texts.


There is no facility on The Nokia Lumia 800 to download or copy them to PC.

On later modles you can.


Most of my emails will be in Windows Live Mail.


Like right-clicking said:-


Factory reset will clear the board, back it up via Zune. But the glitch is in-built and will return.


So no point in resetting.

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Obviously, but they may be wrong. Not only are we coming up to another population renewal drop after the continuing effects of the baby bulge generation enter a trough,  - secondary schools are closing across many boroughs - but birth rates in the UK continue to fall (not just absolute births which are also falling as a function of the bulge unwind, but births per head). And foreign student numbers are also falling. Additionally the costs of being a student are rising, which encourages more students to go to universities close enough that they don't need accommodation but can live at home. Bubbles burst, and this may be one of them.

      Exactly. There's also a much easier way to find out how demand and supply are interacting for student housing: look at how goddamn expensive it is! It's a huge barrier to entry for students who want to study away from home. If the price of student housing cratered, this would be great news for everyone except property developers because it would cut housing costs for students and reduce some demand on "mainstream" housing in the wider market (because students won't be looking for houseshares). These property developers (and their financiers) aren't shovelling millions of pounds into student housing because they think the market is going to crash and they're going to lose money! And if they do, it's not really my problem...

      Uncomfortable high frequency noise on CP Road

      By AmazingDancingBear · Posted

      Just a quick question- We’re on Crystal Palace Road, backing onto Darrell Road, about midway between The Great Exhibition and The Actress, and both my daughters (late teens/early twenties) are complaining about an intermittent, very high frequency noise that they find very uncomfortable. It’s worse for the older one as she’s trying to study for the finals of her degree coming up in May, and she’s already having hospital treatment for an ear condition. The sound can even be heard from indoors with the windows closed. Neither my wife or I can hear it but it’s been going on for a few days now and I wonder if it’s one of those ultrasonic cat/dog/fox repellents, maybe connected to a movement sensor, that only registers with animals and younger people with much more sensitive hearing?    If that is the case would you mind turning it off please as it’s causing a very real problem.    Many thanks.

      Lordship Lane Post Office Closure

      By Cyclemonkey · Posted

      It would help if they opened times when most people needed them.  I had to send a parcel yesterday and Forest Hill post office was unexpectedly closed.  I ended up going to Sydenham, even though Lordship lane was on my way for other shopping as the Lordship Lane PO it closes at 1pm on a Saturday.
