Sorry, having a bit of trouble understanding what you are saying. Exactly what is displayed when you go into Settings?

Re: Find my phone issues

Definitely some confusion ..as Do not get any such options on my Nokia Lumia 920.

Think there are no settings available on the phone and its always 'Active' .. When in need log-on to your Microsoft account and take necessary action from there ..as seen in Second Attachment ..

Re: Find my phone issues

Hello,

 

I had the same issue when I got my device. It's a bug in WP8. When you activate the find my phone, in the settings it will show that it's deactive however it's on.

 

When I did hard reset my device, I couldn't find this toogle switch anymore. Find my phone now appears as a menu with 2 options to select.

 

I have no idea why although I still have the same OS version.

Re: Find my phone issues

find my phone toggle wrong on lumia 920, won't refresh automatically

Brand new lumia 920. Under find my phone, reads off - inside options, toggle is on.

No other options show up. Can't get it to refresh periodically. Can only find phone from windowsphone.com when clicking refresh, but it should be updating itself just in case it gets lost and powered off.

Where did options go?

Re: find my phone toggle wrong on lumia 920, won't refresh automatically

I got a replacement phone last Saturday and the date and time was being set to August 31 9:47

 

I tried soft reset and hard reset, neither of them resolved it. Another problem with that was "find my phone" which shows off on the settings menu, when clicked shows it being turned on. I don't see the 2 options that I had on my first phone.

 

Got it exchanged today and I have the same problem. The guy said it could be the software issue. Not sure what to do.

Fixed mine with a soft reset , then it hang, had to do the volumedown+camera button reset, still hang, did the volumedown+power+camera, then released power, then release the others. Finally restarted fine and restored backup. Almost thought I had it bricked.

Make sure your backups are fine (settings, apps) - not all settings are saved, review them afterwards. A few apps may not restore - seems like updates. Hold the download, click cancel, then reupdate them from the store. This happened with all the new renamed nokia apps (Here...).

Good luck

Re: Find my phone issues

Hello,

 

sorry I "re-float" this topic, but I was having the same problem but with a Lumia 720 (RM-885).

Firmware is 1030.6409.1311.0003

 

I see nobody has attached a pic showing the problem and for this reason I attach it. The words are in Spanish as I am from Spain.

 

Does the hard reset solve the problem?

 

Thanks in advance

Re: Find my phone issues

Do not think a Hard Reset will solve this as seen different Menu options on different devices (May be different Variants..) as seen in the attachment..
