Bluetooth dongle and Lumia 900

I bought a Kingston micro Bluetooth adapter for my Win7 laptop but the Nokia shows "not supported" when trying to pair. Able to pair my Inspire (Android) and my old iPhone 3GS without issue. Has anyone successfully paired the Lumis 900 with a Bluetooth adapter? If so, what adapter did you use?

I'm Not Sure Whats The Deal With The Bluetooth Issue Is With Either Win7.5 Or L900, I Have A BluAnt Headset That The L900 Won't Even Sniff It. But All My Other Devices Are Connected. Any Answers Out There

My BlueAnt S4 synced up fine yesterday when I paired it for the first time with my L900. For the OP (sorry, can't quote because of Board Express) WP does not support BT file transfer, so it will not connect with a PC, or anorher phone. Only wireless headsets and speakers.

I See, I tried mine at work with no success I will give it another shot later.
Thanks

Board Express Pro allows quoting. If you are on free version, maybe check if it works for you. Tap and HOLD a post to quote.
EDIT: OUCH! Just got pwnd by Myself. Tried to use Quote. Crash!

Yes. The latest update broke quoting. Also, don't tap that + button to add something or you will crash. Latest from the dev is that he already fixed it bit Microsoft is slow approving apps in Marketplace. Really? It's been more than a week now.

Tango 8779

Anyone else notice the new 8779 build available via Nokia Car Suite? I've flashed it to my new Cyan 900 and it runs very well. Have been fortunate to have app hub account so unlocked but looking forward to interop unlock and custom roms.
I was a little disappointed that screen was just flat though, half of the funky factor of the 800 was that curved screen and it's ability to distribute glare and reflections a bit more.

I got the 8779 update through Zune.

windows 10 on Lumia 900?

Hi,
Anyone tried widows 10 preview release on Lumia 900?

*bump*
I'd like to know that, too. Is it even possible, as the Lumia 900 doesn't even run WP8?

So here is my 3 issues.
1.while on wide aperture mode i can't zoom.it is the company given or I'm having problem.
2.when I'm using a pattern lock i can't use my fingerprint to unlock device.either if I'm using the PIN or Password protection then fingerprint unlock is also working.
3.when I've got my device I've put a Vodafone sim on it.then I've received the message from Vodafone saying that I'm eligible for vodafone amazon buy 1gb or above pack and get 9gb for 5 recharges.
Over confused there bcoz I've booked mobile from Flipkart then why msg showing amazon offer?...u can see on ss attached...please please please help me.

If you bought a new 8 Pro then I'd definitely return an opened sealed box/phone.

1. The camera tells it to you. Zoom is not supported in wide aperture mode.
2. Pattern lock with fingerprint is not supported in EMUI.

Face Unlock for Nokia 8.1

Hey guys, I've recently bought a nokia 8.1 and i was looking for the face unlock capability, that was anouced the phone would have in a new update, but the only thing I've found is the google smart lock face unlock, that is fooled by photos so prety inssecure, does anyone know if it will receive any updates that enables a face unlock feature like the nokia x7? that is secure.

Dedicated Face Unlock is not part of any of the Nokia smartphones (except for Chinese variants). And I do not see it changing anytime soon. Maybe not until they launch a phone which has a dedicated sensor to do face detection. Probably Nokia 9 will be the one.

I think X7 doesn't have this dedicated sensor, right?
It is still the kind of face unlock vulnerable to photos.

On the x7 it's just software, and going by the tests on youtube and some friend's phones it isn't vulnerable to photos. i don't know why the global variant is so vulnerable.

This is the google made face unlock that is vulnerable to photos. the chinese version (X7) has a more secure face unlock feature that is separated from that.

It does. But it is not as usable as the CN version. In CN you can set it in various ways such as unlock without turning on the screen or not needing to swipe after face recognized.
