Is this normal for your touch screen to be inactive during cold weather on your nokia lumia 800? If so what are some remedies to get the screen to get the touch screen active. Maybe using a blow dryer to warm up your phone or using a phone sock case to reduce the cold temperatures in the morning. What are your thoughts on this topic?

I've been using it for 1 1/2 hours at -5°C with no problems at all.

I'm not shure if it works at lower temp or for a longer exposure at very low temp.

maybe your finger are too cold and not conducting o0?

There have been similar low temperature issues reported using N9, which seems ironic for phone designed in Finland. Do also wonder whether state of charge of battery is implicated in such behaviour as really need to be fully charged before taking out in the cold.

Just wanted to let you know that I used my Lumia 800 for music while it was outside during a party. We're in Sweden right now, and the temperatures that night were -15C. Absolutely freezing. The phone was on a chair, connected to a amplifier, playing random songs. 3 hours later, I picked up the phone, and it was frosted with ice. It was so cold, I was sure it wouldn't work.

Rubbed the frost off the screen, and it worked perfectly.

I remember on a cold morning I left it on the charger over night and the touch screen wasn't working.
