I recently upgraded from the Nokia E73 Mode to the Nokia Lumia 810, my first ever "smart phone" and I'm already having problems which I hope can be clarified in this forum/thread.

1. Supposedly this phone supports USB "drag & drop", but it doesn't seem to fully work for me. An example, with my previous phone I connected via USB cable and dragged computer files (Audio, Video, and Images) from my computer to the memory card of my phone. I can do this with this phone, but only somewhat. Once it's been "copied" to the SD card, I can't really edit the file from there. If I try renaming a music file for example, the window freezes saying "Program Not Responding". If I try to delete the file, it doesn't delete it either. Another big issue is once it's in my Nokia Lumia's SD card and I right-click it from my PC to edit an image with Photoshop, I can't do it. There's no "Open With..." feature. The same with audio files, I can't open with anything other than Windows Media Player, which I don't use. So does this phone really support "drag & drop" or is this just false advertising?

2. How does one change the message tone? If a so-called "inferior" phone like the Nokia E73 Mode could do it, easily, why can't the superior Windows 8 smart phone do it? The same with an actual ringtone. How does one change it?

I actually do love this phone, but the whole lack of file manager and it's inability to "drag & drop" files for me disappoints.

Welcome to the forum.

the drag m drop is working according to your post. Drag n drop doesn't include altering or editing files directly on the device.

coming from Symbian, I understand your dilemmas here.

best to take the file off the device by drag n drop from the device to the PC and then alter it and then drag b drop it back to your device.

as for the memory card, I have always found it faster to write directly to a card from the PC with an adapter rather then going through the device hardware.

with wp8, you can only use custom ring tones with what you drag into the ringtones folder when connected.

I would recommend changing the file genre to ringtone too

as for the messaging and email sounds currently you are limited to the sounds that available in the device. Not even the custom tones will show.

hope that helps

I loaded an app called "Windows Phone Inside" and was able to get custom ringtones, (seasonal), to populate. I can also tell you that the Lumia 810 is the best phone that I have ever used, love it
