    Lumia 800: FW 12070, New battery diagnostics & drawing conclusions of full charge

    @PiyushKr



    Not clear whether this a brand new device or new to you as it can take several cycles of charge/discharge before a new battery delivers it's best. Have you checked how often Email client is polling server for mail and social network app. such as Whatsapp
    can be permanently connected?

    Doesn't exit GPRS connectivity in Nokia 5233

    Its ok you have made it to 'alwaya ask', check whether you email client is made to check for mails often, software update app can also connect to internet if its made to check for updates automatically, your share online app does the same thing too, make
    all the connections to manual.

    2.) Select your preferred interval for mail check, As items arrive will mean the new messages will arrive at your inbox as soon as your web server has received them:

    Any idea why "As items arrive" isn't available? Mine shows "based on usage," manually, and a few time options.

    "As Items Arrive" is only available if you're using Exchange, EAS or I believe IMAP. I noticed on mine, it doesn't show for my linked MSN account (which seems really odd now that I think about it), but does on my personal .coms that use EAS.
