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.

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:-

So no point in resetting.

    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided. 
    • does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
    • MaryT, I’ve contacted the Dulwich Hill councillors several times in recent years, always copying them both in. I have never had an acknowledgment from Jon Hartley (not even an automated response or out-of-office) nor had any response or engagement from him regarding the issue raised.   On each occasion, only Maggie Browning responded (she uses an out-of-office if she is away). The last time, I received no response from either for 3 months, until Maggie Browning emailed me to apologise for not responding and asking if the problem had been resolved.
    • The  Kwasi effect is being considered.
