[Q] Nokia 900 noob questions - Nokia Lumia 900

I have just got a bargain Nokia 900 for £55, so please don't say I shouldn't have got one!
I have only had it a day or so and pleased with it till I started looking for updates. I can't find CIty View & Camera Extras, I looked in w*w.windowsphone.com/en-gb/how-to/search?q=city+lens but does not exist. Are they only available for the 800?
Oh as a self confessed Nokia fan but Noob, can you give me an idiots guide to the best free apps out there please, whats hot and whats not?!
Thanks very much

Look in the Nokia Collection on the marketplace app on the phone. Nokia exclusive apps don't show up in windowsphone.com searches

Thanks exiva, think I have it now but there are hardly any apps for it?
My phone says it's up to date but I'm after City Lens and the camera extras.
Thanks again

On the phone there's a Marketplace app in the app drawer (swipe left from the home screen) in the marketplace you should see Nokia Collection. That's where all the Nokia apps are.

No problem! While you can install most apps via the windowsphone.com site, OEM apps (Nokia, HTC, Etc) are not visibile there. Probably to avoid confusion.

New Native Youtube app by HTC

If you guys haven't gotten it yet...get it! Awesome app! It allows watching Youtube vids in HQ even on 3G! =D HTC got it right!
So is this a HTC only app?
I honestly don't know. It's definitely an HTC made app, but it doesn't appear under HTC Apps in the the Marketplace, it appears in the general apps section.
not finding this in marketplace, still can only find the basic youtube app and the one by lazyworm.

Not yet. My HD7 is resting peacefully while my HD2 gets to use the sim card. Once I've had my fill of HD2 goodness, I will boot up the crown jewel for a luxury ride and install the app.
Here's some screenshots...Sorry for the crappy shots, but you get the point...

thanks for posting it. Wonder why I can't find it on my hd7. I'll keep looking.
for all y'all looking for it, try going to marketplace/ apps/ music and video/ free. It was the first one there, but I couldn't find it by searching.

No prob. I just went into Apps then sideswiped to new and it was about 10 apps down, under Holy Bible. Correction, 1 app after that, between GPS4Me and Soniccasting.

didn't show up under search.
Now if it only allowed you to login to see your subscribed videos....
Much higher quality video over data and wifi and it shows the lighter color download bar as well so you know if its gonna buffer.

The decision to let hardware makers customise only by individual apps is starting to pay off. The fact that HTC are the only ones to have a native YouTube app (which imo is a stupid thing to leave out of the OS, but only cause I use YouTube a lot) is making me strongly lean towards one of their devices over samsung

The thing is, all WP7 phones can use HTC apps. The Hub is available not only for HTC phones, but also Samsung and LG.

I didn't think that was true. Each OEM has their own apps, like htc has the only flashlight app that uses the flash of the camera.
Great find OP! Now only if someone would come out with tune-in radio app for WP7.

Orange UK Marketplace free apps

Hey guys,
for those of you on Orange UK
check out the marketplace.
there is now an "Orange Selects" section and you can download free versions of apps such as Cocktail Flow, Touchnote, Pathfinder etc.
Sorry if this is old news.. I only noticed it last night!
Yeah saw this recently too! I like it!
Where is it?
I'm not seeing it, but I fear this is either because I'm not using an Orange SIM in mine or more likely because I uninstalled the Orange app out of the programs! Can someone be very specific about where it appears, then I can be sure? Is it supposed to be in that first list where you get HTC Apps, applications, games & music?
Humm i cant get into the orange selects section since going to mango i get an error 805a0194

I am also on mango and I get this too.
It happens to everyone on mango beta.
To get around it (to get your free apps) just go to the marketplace search and type "Orange UK" and it will give you the same list as the "Orange Selects" section.
Hope this helps.

Hi all
Are all the Apps free when you follow this procedure? Only some are free when I do this.
E.G. Cocktail Flow is £2.49.

From what I know we're getting 1 free app per day for every day in July. So each day you go in to the orange selects section one of the apps in there will be free (the price changes to £0.00 for 1 day then changes back to whatever it was originally)
Hope that helps.
Sent from my 7 Mozart T8698 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Yeah its 1 free app per day (Cocktail flow was free yesterday, you missed out o.o)

Shall we keep a list going, I don't know what was the 1st apps
July
2nd Cocktail Flow
3rd Stars 3D
4th City Travel London
So Far
I bet the 1st giveaway was a really good one.
Thanks
Graham
When it first appeared all the apps were free.
So far from July I have got Stars 3d and Travel London.
Both useful.
I got cocktailflow free from the MIX promotion.
So far they have been very good.
I'm looking forward to (if there included) SleepMaster and Bye Bye Brain
Thanks

I have the free version of that, it's really good.
I'm not missing another one.
The only problem I see is that once we downgrade back to NoDo, all the apps that we installed on Mango will be deleted (AFAIK) so we'd have to pay for these apps once the Mango Beta ends. Can anyone confirm/deny this?
8th July: Bye Bye Brain
A bit bummed cos I only just found out about this promo
That sleepmaster app just seems like an accident waiting to happen.
Plug it into mains and then sleep with it in your bed? A lot of reviews citing the phone getting red-hot which seems inevitable. Not something that i'll be doing.

Hi all
I understand that the Windows Phone marketplace policy is that once you have purchased an item, you can re-download it anytime later if it has been deleted from your phone. This should include future updates to applications/games. The purchase is linked to your Windows Live ID rather than the phone.
The only problem is if the item is removed from the Marketplace after your purchase.

Nokia Music missing!

Well Nokia music is for the countries that don't have Zune pass coverage.

[APP] FBMetro, a Mini Facebook App

Currently I am building and shortly will be done with my Facebook Metro App for Windows 8 and the idea is to have 2 UI's.
1). Full Screen w/Most Features.
2). Half-Sized w/Basic features so you can use your favorite App's while still accessing your Facebook features, feed and etc.
Question is, what would YOU want added to either UI?
Well u should post some pictures of the program so we can see what it has and hasnt so we can give you opinions When its really upload it and i will test it for sure
After or on Tuesday, I can share the design as I am scheduled with a MS Engineer to help my App have the final touches and tested as well and hopefully first Facebook App in the Store.
Also thanks for responding.

Feature request
Please implement off line messages because the Messaging app won't let you send them
Looking forward to FBMetro! (Suggestion to call it MetroBook instead! )
Do half-sized mean Snapped mode?

Well FBMetro is really just the project name, Facebook already has an App registered as Facebook Metro.
The half-sized mode is in fact the snapped mode... I have included old-SS of which the actual App does not represent anymore as of my meeting with my Microsoft sponsor who wouldn't permit me to go any further with the design, even though I was nowhere near done lol.
Note: Job Discovery is my other App for Win8 and is actually currently a free WP7 App. In the photo you can see that my Facebook App can be used by other Developers to post information from their App using my pre-established Auth to the end-users Facebook Account. Yes, they can actually implement my App to be used by theirs.
nice, where can I get it?
It's coming, very soon!
and here is my idea....
as you may know in our country (iran) we can't access FACE.BOOK...we have to use v.p.n and other pro.xy apps...
it'll be gr8 if you add setting to your app so that we can add pro.xy and these kind of things...(especially pro.xy...)
thanks...

question
hy. I just want to know, when it will be available? could we download it from windows store? I'm a really big METRO UI fan, and I would be happy if I can use facebook in this way.
and of course sorry for my bed english
Cool App!!
I am actually working with someone from Microsoft to get the App Certified, I had to really redo A LOT of the UI as they have made the standards really rough.
Right when it's ready, I will immediately provide the link.
Thanks for your interest!

Nokia Camera extras app is out

Just downloaded it from the marketplace. It installs as a stand alone app, but the settings are integrated into the default app.
Is it with the Nokia Apps or do you have to search for it? I have nothing in UK marketplace as yet

Its not in the Nokia apps section, you have to search for it.
Open any of the Nokia apps in the market and then just under details there is a link to see other Nokia software. Click that and you will see it listed there.
I found it by searching "Nokia Camera Extras".

Uk and other countries will have to wait until july to get them apps..
does the camera extra app merge with the original camera app or is it an separate app ??

I used the "ACTION SHOT" feature yesterday while photographing my daughter on a swingset. There is absolutely no motion blur. Indoor photos are less blurry too. I finally have a phone camera that I can use! Superb job by Nokia (again)!

I was playing around with the Action Shot setting too. Seems like that should be the default setting for when you use the camera button on a locked phone. So much faster to get a decent pic with it.

I can't find it either. Maybe it was out for a couple of days, then pulled.
Same, been looking everyday but nothing. i think xsever must have pulled it from a US source?
For those who can not find it... Try the following:
If you have wpcentral application installed, search for any "camera extra" subject, scroll right and you'll have a download option.
if you don't
Install AAWP free app and do the same.
or
Try browsing to WP7 Connect... again, search for a recent "Nokia camera extra" subject. there should be a "download for windows phone" link.
Hope it helps.
