I love my 800, only complaint so far is that it doesnt have a close all apps button like on android with their trash can. Other than that is really great, smooth as silk, just as fast as the iphone 4s,& 5 even the s3 in certain tasks and with certain apps...i've tested it.
When the 920 drops in price i will get that.

the phone does that for you no need to manually close them The WP7 device has a watchdog process, which kills any process after opening more than 3 apps i think
on the other hand you can select apps that you may need to be running in the background without closing eg whatsapp so to get notifications when a msg is recived

under edit apn I'm seeing 5 fields:

APN (I entered bconnected)

Username (entered nothing)

Password (nothing)

Proxy server/ URL (entered 0.0.0.0)

Proxy port (entered 8080)

I set Data Connection to On and & selected E as the highest connection speed, yet it does not work.

[gastly369]

only set bconnected alone no proxy server/URL and no proxy port

just APN bconnected

also if it still doesn't work have to call to request for the service to be activated on their side i had to :\ duno for anyone else

Best solution for smart dialing?

I haven't updated my Lumia 800 yet though, don't know if the update includes this feature. I downloaded Speeddial, it's ok, but not seamless into the phone app like the Android or Blackberry.

The APN should be "internet" as far as I am aware.

On another note, my Lumia 800 is dropping service intermittently (no bars) with BMobile, even in areas with good reception.

I am now performing an update, are any other users having similar issues?

[original_lollybob]

that could be Bmobile and their 4G testing

do a side by side comparisson with another phone nah

i never really had no service issues

internet for postpaid
bconnected for prepaid

So I turned off the Lumia 800 last night and when I put it back on this morning the data worked with just the the 'bconnected' APN that gastly369 suggested!!
Which would be better to use though, Edge or 3G?


WRT to the dropped calls and network service issues, I'm having the same problems with a few phones at home including a Nokia C3 and a couple Blu as well. All with bmobile.

[trini mk5]

they are 4g testing. its to be released at the end of the october

I getting this problem right now, the phone just eating away my money, how do i stop it?

[gastly369]

check the background running apps
Facebook usually the data killer

settings>Slide left to applications >Background Task

[Val]

I find the screen guard looks worse than the scratch. but then, the 800's screen isn't oleophobic, so it might be an improvement.

sand scratches gorilla glass.
its simple physics

that wasnt the solution, i went into settings and disabled the prepaid data, so now it only works with wifi, kinda sucks but say what

[gastly369]

what i do once im on the road i switch the data on .. home and wherever i get wifi i turn it off

[original_lollybob]

d/l the Counters app...

set a low monthly data limit

that could help

[silver]
