USB Mass Storage on Nokia lumia 800 HOW TO


Hack Nokia lumia 800 for USB mass storage
Mass storage mode as most of you Symbian users know is when you connect your phone to your PC and use it similarly to an external hard-drive, which enables you to drag and drop files without the need for a third party software (such as Nokia Suite, Zune, iTunes etc…). Now apparently this isn’t a regular option on the Lumia 800 (possibly all WP devices- seeing as I haven’t tried any so I don’t know exactly).
When I got the Lumia 800 I just hate the way of syncing everything via Zune. I was searching for a hack to enable USB Mass storage mode in Lumia 800. I found it in Nokiabuff.com and XDA  that it can be enabled on other WP phones via registry hack. So I just tried it in Lumia 800. It just works.  Here are the steps to enable USB Mass storage mode in Nokia Lumia 800.

Steps To Hack Nokia lumia 800 for USB mass storage
step 1:
Open Registry Editor by typing “ regedit ” in start bar or in Run tool.

step:2
In the Left Pane click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and find a folder tree called SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Enum and then USB.

step 3:
Press Ctrl + F or click Find in Edit Menu at the Menu Bar and search for “ZuneDriver” make sure USB folder is selected before searching.
step 4:

It will find Zune Driver inside a folder tree called as VID_045E&PID_04EC&MI_00 . Just ignore all the stuffs and click Device Parametres folder tree.
P.S : Before we proceed rightclick Device Parameters and click Export in case if something goes wrong this will restore the registry to old state.

step 5:
When you click Device Parameters in the right pane it will display the registry values under it.

step 6:
Registry editing begins now
In the right pane double-click the registry value called
  • ShowInShell and change its value from 0 to 1 .
  • PortableDeviceNameSpaceExcludeFromShell and change its value from 1 to 0 .
  • EnableLegacySupport from 0 to 1 .
Make sure these three values are changed. Just close the registry editor and it will save those values.

step 7:
Remove the Lumia 800 and re-insert it again. You will see two portable devices in My Computer with a Storage capacity of  13.3GB. Now you can transfer your songs, pictures and videos to the Lumia without using Zune.
This trick consists of some drawbacks such as music added via this hack will show as unknown album in Music app.

But in our test the picture and video transfers to the device worked without any problem. Just make sure you copy the compatible formats to play in Lumia 800. This hack is faster that Zune as you can see the files pop up in gallery or video player as you begin to transfer.

After using USB Mass storage mode in Lumia 800 dont forget to eject device before removing the usb cable 

Note:
We are still not sure whether this hack works without Zune. We have removed the Zune but still the Lumia 800 managed to get drivers from Internet and we had to reapply this registry hack to enable it to show in My Computer. And the file transfers worked fine too. We are conducting further tests in different systems whether we can use Lumia 800 as USB stick without Zune. 
Update : You can use this USB Mass storage mode in Lumia 800 hack in any Windows Phone seven smartphones

Nokia lumia 800 calendar date problem Solved.



This is the common problem that nokia lumia 800
The 'day off' issue with birthdays is an issue with Windows Live, pretty much the same as having double entries in the Birthday Calendar.

The solution to this is to goto calendar.live.com, select and remove the birthday calendar. Now sync your LiveID on the Lumia to remove the calendar from the Lumia (in Settings/email+accounts press and hold the live ID, then select Synchronize). You then create a new Calendar by selecting New>Birthday Calendar on calendar.live.com.

This will create a new calendar which will then populate correctly and will be on your Lumia on the next synchronization.
