Display Problem - Nokia Lumia 800

Hey guys,
I've received a Lumia 800 a few days ago and noticed something odd about the display. Sometimes the whole content of the display is moved to the left, and the part that is now out of view is then located on the right side of the screen. I could not reproduce this problem. Since the phone is working perfectly great I don't really want to send it in for a problem that might be caused by software issues... Should I be worried about this problem?
To make it more clear, here is a quick mockup of this error:
Regards Chris

I've noticed this twice so far, it happens as fast as a blink, when the whole interface shifts then moves back to normal almost instantly. I'd expect it to be fixed in a software update.

Thanks for your answer. I was really surprised when this first happened. But since I'm not the only one with this problem I'll wait for an software update.

Have seen that too. I think this can be fixed with a FW update. How can we report that problem to Nokia?

@ChrisK91 Hi, if restoring factory settings doesn't help, you can take the phone to local Nokia Care point or see if Sw update fixes it. ^JA

I have also noticed the same thing, although it stays like that for less than a second. Hopefully a software update will fix it.

I won't take my phone to a service point anytime soon, since this is a very rare occuring problem. But I think I'm on the newest firmare/software:
OS-Version: 7.10.7740.16
Firmware-Rev.: 1600.2479.7740.11451
Hardware-Rev.: 112.1402.2.3
Bootloader: 7.35.0.0
Chip-SOC-Version: 0.74.2.1

Same problem here, event on the start logo NOKIA.

I'm experiencing the same problem.
Most viewable in the start nokia splash screen.
I dunno if I'm on the last firmware, but I'm branded Vodafone.

I'm having exactly the same thing... it's almost like gpu driver isn't aligning correct or something like that...

I've noticed this as well. I'm on the latest FW update (11451). As you other guys have said it's not that annoying and it goes away in less than a second so I will not take care of the problem unless it's solved with a future FW update.

ok, I have now noticed that this seems to become worse... Sometimes my display stays this way for several seconds... I just contacted the Nokia support team to check if I can get my device replaced, just to be safe...

And what did they say ?

Nothing yet. That's because today is an official holiday here in germany, and i doubt that the support team will work on weekends. So I think we'll have to wait untill monday for an answer...

I have the same problem with my unbranded lumia 800, any solution?!

Nokia Lumia 800 screen issues

Hi guys,
I have some issues with the Nokia Lumia 800.
From time to time (sometimes really often), the display goes crazy, like moves by himself, without me touching it, for example if I am in the Y!Mail app, he start refreshing & stuff... like someone touches it - or even stops responding I must hit the lock/unlock button to work again, anyone have or had the same issues?
I can't send the Phone back because it was bought from TIM Italy, and now I am living in Romania, also I have the 11500 firmware, since the TIM didn't approved yet the update.
Does anyone knows if any of these issues (automatic touches, or the no-respoding screen until I lock/unlock it) has been fixed in 12070?
I'm pretty dissapointed with this phone because I paid 500€ for something with so many issues...
I have a Nokia Lumia 800 myself, and have never faced the issue. Yes, sometimes the app behaves weirdly but mostly it turns out to be the app issue. Never the screen or the OS.

Dodgy device? Or are these bugs still live...

Well I've had my Lumia for 3 days now. First 2 days were fine then today seems to have brought to light a load of bugs. It arrived pre-loaded with 12070 rev software and plugging into zune says im currently up to date.
1) When listening to music over headphones and I receive a text, the music volume seems to increase a notch or two. Not a lot just a little.
2) I've got the volume bug. First couple of rings are really loud then it goes quiet. If I plug my phone into charger that blares out at full volume as does the criticaly low battery noise. Interestingly if I set my volume to 8 or above it doesn't happen.
3) I couldn't end a call today. Just hung on "Ending call" until I switched the phone off.
Which leads me to 4....
4) When i turned the phone back on it said battery critically low. Before i turned it off I had some juice left.. maybe 15-20%. I went to battery saver and it was showing 10%. It then turned itself off with the "goodbye" message and was flat. I've got it on charge now and it's on and working.
Now from searching I see that the volume bug is supposedly fixed in 12072. But I was under the impression that things like the call ending bug were fixed ages ago? Has anyone on Orange UK received the 12072 update?
Does this sound "normal" or have I been sent a duff device do you think?
Cheers.
I sometimes experience the volume bug still with FW 12072 too... Your 4th point isn't a bug I'd think. Your battery was low (15-20%) and you have rebooted the phone. Rebooting costs quite some juice, so it's possible it went all the way down to 10%. Then it turned itself off, because the battery was empty, though it still showed 10%. That's possible, because it's a new device, your battery still needs to calibrate for more accurate numbers.
Thanks for the info. I guessed the battery might be something to do with that. The one I'm most worried by is the call not ending as that was supposed to have been fixed some time ago.
Is 12072FW meant to be out to everyone? Or is it just Orange UK being really slow with the updates again? (My Omnia 7 is still on OS vers 7740!)

Indeed, the end-call bug should have been fixed already. I don't make a lot of calls, so haven't tested it yet.
The 12072 FW was a fix for Vodafone because they refused to roll out the 12070 variant. I don't know if it has been released to other Lumia 800's and honestly I don't really care Because I don't have Vodafone as well, you can just install the update with the CAB sender method

Ah right, interesting. To be honest the volume bug I can live with for now. My phone stays on silent at work anyway. It's just the call end one... I'll see how it goes and if it persists I'll get it changed.

There's a chance they fixed it when Windows Phone Tango / Mango Refresh will be released. This is planned in the first half of June.

Yup, I guessed Tango would be here soon. Hoping all the bugs will be ironed out in that. In fairness the battery life is better than my Omnia 7 and the camera also seems better so at least those two initial bugs don't seem to affect me.
Otherwise it's a stunning device. It's so much nicer to use than my Omnia 7.

We'll see what Tango will bring us And to be honest, I have a Omnia 7 around somewhere here as well, and I like it too. I like it's screen size, but it can't beat the delicious design of the Lumia 800 which is my primary device

Yeh the Omnia 7 was nice (even though mine had a really crippling data problem). I thought I would miss the larger screen but I really haven't noticed it. I have pretty small hands too so this has been really nice to use! The 900 was just too big for my tastes.

MS Realeased another GDR3 update (8.0.10521.155)

They said it's just a minor bug fixes, anyway, I've installed it on my L920 and, so far, didn't see any change...

It haven't been able to connect to my home wifi since the previous gdr3 update, and this one fixed it.

Wireless charging seems broken
Seems like wireless charging is broken on Lumia 925 after this update

Multi touch issues?

Hello everyone, I just got this tablet today and I'm having an issue with it. I was trying to play a music game and I noticed that when I touched both extremes of the screen the multitouch would release my fingers for some reason. I've recorded a video of it using a multitouch application just to make sure I wasn't going crazy, here it is:
Link to the Youtube video
Do you think it's defective? If anyone has this M5 10 tablet could you test it for me and see if you also have the same multitouch issue? Since I just got it today, should I return it? Or is it something that can be fixed?
Thank you.
Received mine today from Boulanger in France, i used the same software as you to test it. Everything is working fine, even with 3 or 4 fingers, using the same kind of routine you used. So i suppose that your tablet is faulty. Sorry mate.

I have the same problem bro! You can find my post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3777471

I have the same issues als well. You can see it very well with the App "Multi touch test" from Spencer Studios.
Has someone more info on this issue as the tablet is useless for me with those touch problems and I will send it back if there is no fix available in the near future.

Hi Andrgin, which is your problem? In my case I have the problem only if I touch the screen with two fingers. In this case seems that the tablet, after 2 sec, can't recognize anymore the touch. I'm waiting the response of the support for the ticket that I opened, hopping that they can tell me that is only a software problem and not an hardware issue, let's see...Anyway I have your idea too, I bought this tablet to play music game and is really useless with this problem.
When I touch the screen with 2 fingers at the same time and do not move them for about 1 second the tablets looses the touch of both fingers. It does not happen if I dont put both fingers down at the same time (more than about 500ms), move the fingers around while they touch the screen. Also it does not happen with 3 or more fingers.
To me it seems like the system treats the as a gesture.
I made a video about it:
youtu.be/PXXakOw_1Hk
I also thinks that the system treats this as some kind of a weird gesture. I don't think it is related to the hardware. I'll ask the Huawei support soonish because it really is annoying with cytus 2 for example or even pdfs when you want to pan soon and have 2 fingers on it and then your touch input gets removed.
This is with the 10 pro
Could it be, I hope that you are right but is really strange that only some devices have this problem, if it is a software problem, all the devices with this software need to have the issue.
I think all have this problem. So far everybody that said he does not have this bug had tested it the wrong way. You have to place both fingers at the same time and do not move them. If you move them while touching the screen it still works.
And no I dont think it is hardware related.
I also experienced this (talked about it in another thread), but it must be more complicated than that.
It's not something that systematically happens whenever i put two fingers down a the same time. It works just fine most of the time, but occasionally notes will drop, always in the same spots, in the same songs. "Pointer location" shows the touch is still being registered, if that's anything to be trusted.
I'll take the occasion to ask again since there seem to be other people who play music games in this thread: beside the touchscreen issues, has anyone noticed a slight delay on the audio feedback? I'm talking about a 100-150 ms delay from the moment i touch the screen to the moment the corresponding sound effect plays. The touch itself is registered correctly, but the audio lags behind for some reason.
Either way, i sent back the 10.8", gonna have the 8.4" here by tomorrow i hope, will update on how this one behaves.
It does not matter where you place your fingers only that it happens at the same time (less than about 500ms) and you dont move them for about 1 second.
About audio I dont know. Most time I had sound off.
It may be a general Android Oreo bug, although the article speaks about Android 8.1, not 8.0:
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-8-1-oreo-multi-touch-bug-fixed-june-update/
Maybe Huawei used parts of Android 8.1 for the M5.
A fix from Google is planned for the June security update.
Just tested the 8.4", after installing the new update. Interestingly enough, it didn't seem to drop any inputs.
The sound delay, however, is exactly the same, and it baffles me no one else seems to notice it.
On top of that, i think i got a defective unit, as the charging speed starts off at 3300-3400 mAh, then drops to 500-600, never to rise again. So much for quickcharge.
Battery also seems to run considerably hotter for no apparent reason: 37 degrees Celsius while charging at that pitiful speed, no other apps running.
For reference, the 10.8" never exceeded 32 degrees, and that's while charging at max speed, with apps running at the same time.
Overall, this tablet has been nothing but a huge disappointment, i'll just refund it and wait for something else to come out at this point.
Edit: it charges normally when the screen is turned off. When the screen is on, the charger seems to provide enough current to offset whatever i'm consuming, plus those 500-600 extra mAh, so no matter what i'm doing that speed doesn't change. The 10.8" was charging normally, full speed minus whatever power i was drawing, so i'm still pretty sure something's not right.
@chris_g I really hope it could be the problem but wait two more months it's really frustrating! For now I haven't received yet one answer from the support...
Not really good news from Italian support, them tell me that no reports was received about our problem, so them suggested me to try to reset the device to the default to see if is a software problem. Did you guys found something else? I'm really thinking to request the replace of the device.
Just to be sure, could someone give me the mail of the international/English support? I want to try to write a mail also to them.
Cheers
I got the M5 Pro from amazon.it and the warranty check showed that I get warranty in most European countries. I opened a ticked with the Austrian support providing all the info they needed. They said they dont know of the problem so far and will forward it. This was over 1 week ago and I did not receive any response yet.
Replacing the tablet will not solve anything because every M5 (at least the 10" versions) have this bug.
And no it is not an Oreo bug because my Mate 10 (also EMUI 8.0) works fine. I guess it is some code Huawei added to support the pen.
Firmware Finder already shows a EMUI 8.1, but it is not approved for installation yet. I guess we will get Oreo 8.1 in a few weeks/months and this bug will hopefully be fixed in the new version.

Don't be so optimistic on that one, as Google themselves introduced an all new multi-touch bug in the 8.1 base. Thus one bug will maybe just be replaced by another one, as Google already stated that they'll have the bug fixed in the June update soonest. Let's hope Huawei uses the patched June base to upgrade our tablet to 8.1.
Sent from my HTC U11 using XDA Labs
Huawei already ships Android 8.1 with the P20 so I guess we are getting the same code. I never heard about multi touch problems there so I guess Huawei has already replaced that faulty Google code. With all the people complaining about late Android updates for existing devices, but there is a reason most vendors wait until they release a new Android version for the masses. Google phones are simply beta test devices.
I have the 8.4" wifi model. It suffers the multi-touch problem but not the sound delay problem. I tried the drum pad app, sounds play instantly as soon as I touch them.

Video focus hunting / Camera keeps refocusing while filming

Hello,
My wife's been having a Honor 10 (COL-L29) for a little over half a year. Everything fine except the camera is constantly hunting for focus. Every few seconds it is refocusing by moving the lens from close-up to infinite and back to correct focus. I've tried it with the latest camera included in software v9.1.0.326 but also with a random 3rd party app. You can clearly hear the focusing camera elements moving.
The most annoying part is during video recording. And since we have a 7 month old baby, she's filming him a lot.
I've tried searching online but nobody seems to have complained about something similar until now.
My OnePlus 5 doesn't do the same thing in the same environment, so I cannot blame some colors, textures or similar.
Will also try posting on honor/Huawei forums in a moment.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated!
yeah, I got that problem too..... a bit annoying. Maybe I did not realize, but as far as I remember.....it was not happened on EMUI 8.1. The problem starts after updating to EMUI 9.
Yeah I've had this to after the last software upgrade.
I've been chatting with a support rep today.
Interestingly, she talked like she was aware of the problem (she immediately recognised what I was thinking about) and she asked me when did the problem appeared (like it was introduced by an update).
Clearing the camera's and the phone's cache didn't help. I was thinking of checking out if another phone has the same issue (if I can still find one on display).
Otherwise the rep advised me to go to a service center or contact the seller.

Huawei has released a patch pack that seems to solve this problem for Honor 10 in China (COL-AL00 COL-AL10 COL-TL00 COL-TL10). I guess the oversea version is on it's way
Im in the UK and I'm already on .326
I have the same problem and running .326 version .
Glad that i am not the only one.
I found out that if after u ar starting a video and manually do a focus with one finger it stops hunting focusing after.
I first discovered the problem after upgrading to emui 9.1.
Hope this will help others!
I was to the service center some 4-5 days ago. The guy there took a look at the phone, I showed him the issue and he acknowledged it. He ordered a new camera module, a mainboard and something else (I didn't understood what he said): I'm waiting for a call from the service center for the actual parts replacement.
So after what u said then this is a hardware problem not a software problem and i should find the nearest shop and have look!
I'm afraid that it's 400 km from me the neareast shop.
I don't know what it is. I am checking for a new software version on a daily basis (until I'm called that the parts arrived).
I only reported back what the dude from the official service center told me.

please don't forget to let us know how it goes with the new hardware....
So yesterday afternoon got the parts exchanged: mainboard, cameras & back plate. Apparently the back plate cannot be glued back upon removal. The whole thing took some 3.5 hours.
Weirdly the mainboard came with some version 8.1.0.1xx EMUI. I don't know if it was preinstalled of the service tech guy flashed after assembling the phone.
The problem is gone but I cannot say for sure if it is the old software or the new hardware.
When trying to update the software (before restoring with HiSuite) I only got a small version bump (still 8.1.0.1xx). HiSuite was proposing me an update but didn't take it. I want to film something, update, film the same again all while the phone is on a tripod pointing exactly at the same scene.

I just got a new Honor 10, a week ago. I made all the EMUI updates before testing the camera. I noticed the horrible focus in and out problem, and I was prepared to send it back to the seller. After I searched a bit, I found this thread and I realized it may not be a hardware problem, but a software problem. I'm now downgrading to EMUI 9.0 and hooping the HiSuite allows me to downgrade later to 8.1 to test if the problem disappears. BTW, the post processing of the photos in low light is also horrible, especially with people's faces. But I want to keep the phone because of the size, price and specs.
Do you have any more information about your case? Had you the opportunity to do the tests with 9.1?
I haven't update it yet. My wife keeps on postponing it.
Right now it is on 8.1.0.104 and it wants to install 8.1.0.151.
The problem seems to be almost gone, except for critical situations (carpet with high contrast pattern), but even then it is barely noticeable.
It will stay on this software for the time being...

I have an update on my side. I downgraded to 9.0 and I still had the problem. But when I downgraded to 8.1 the problem simply disappeared! I'm using the build ending in 151, so I think you can upgrade to that version with no problem. If you upgrade to 9.0 and the problem continues, just make a backup before upgrade, and then you can downgrade to 8.1 again and restore with HiSuite (very simple and fast do downgrade).
When you have the problem, you can "fix" it downgrading to 8.1 with HiSuite, but we don't know why some people have the problem, and apparently a lot of people don't have the problem at all. If your works now with 9.0 or 9.1, it probably have something to do with some hardware change in the Honor 10 production that caused the problem.
anyone tried other camera app? I'm gonna try Open Camera
I've tried some random app. I don't remember the name, but the behaviour was the same.
I've mentioned this in the initial post.
I seems that I only have de problem with 9.1 (in the 2 version available). I 'm testing 9.0 and it seems ok.
