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.

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.

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?

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 is pushing the newest update out to Lumia's now, available through Zune update. Firmware version: 1600.2483.8106.11500
This is meant to be the battery fix. Read more here.
Happy updating

I got an update from Zune, but it was OS update only. There was no firmware. Should I restore and try it again?
It'll come later, some have got the firmware and not the OS.
Thanks for letting me know.
I just got a similar reply on Nokia Support. They're being pushed seperately. The user I replied to had received the firmware, but not the OS update yet.
I'll try to be more patient.
I just did the disconnect trick, and it's downloading 8107, will report what firmware I have when it's done
---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------
Got 8107 + new firmware in one go
Tried the disconnect trick when the last update was being rolled out but wasn't working. :S I thought they fixed it?
Clearly not
Also, MVNO's are better supported now, my phone shows Giffgaff instead of O2-UK, not seen that in a while!
I'll give it a go.. Hopefully it works this time around.. Any tips?
Took me about 5 goes to time it right. Best tip is preserver I guess. I also turned flight mode on as I read that helps.

+1 to this. took a few attempts, worked in the end
Just managed to get it updating. It's getting new Windows verison, not sure about FW tho, will have to wait for it to finish and check.
Any noticable improvements yet? I know it's too early though
Mine only said Windows version, but firmware was included too. Auto-brightness seems better, diagnostic app contains more stuff. Charging now to see new capacity.
I just flashed back to 11451 via NCS, then forced the update through Zune.
I got both the OS update and firmware (8106.11500). I'm hoping this firmware is the answer to all our battery problems. Full charge capacity is sitting at 1483mAh. Will post back if it starts to drop (like on all the other firmwares)...
T-Mobile USA Zune Force Update Worked..
Flashed and have joy now..
Like others mentioned above, battery capacity reads 1481 rather than 1517; so was this the correction I wonder?
Will have to see how it performs over the coming days.
Autobrightness seems to work MUCH better; that alone will conserve some power.
Going to close down my system and go home now; I am curious if Bluetooth will be any better. I have a Nokia J - works better than non-Nokia, but have had to re-pair it a few times due to repeated connection dropoffs. Want to see if A2DP will work now. And of course, will try the camera to see if there is anything else good there (in spite of prior reports..)
Cheers
[1st Edit]
Ok, so far BT is holding together but we'll see.. I'll have to see if the belt holster throws it off. Still no A2DP though.. Podcasts, music, and Nokia Drive voices still play through speaker and won't route through headset.
[Edit 2]
Camera.. Nuts.. Spoke too soon. At work under fluorescents.. No pink spot. Came home .. Under halogen, spot is still there unless I use flash. So looks like nothing changed after all except the focus default setting (whoop dee dee... )
[Edit 3] Bluetooth seems very stable.. Going to try now with a non-Nokia earpiece..

Im using the mac os x windows phone connector not sure if thats the problem...

I picked mine up from an EE store yesterday and had a few issues when setting it up. The app store kept throwing up errors everytime I selected an app from a list, and my work exchange email just wouldn't work so I attempted a reset (Settings > About > Reset).
Bad move, now all I have is a Nokia logo on my screen. I've tried the 2 button and 3 button resets but have not seen anything on screen apart from the Nokia logo and the low battery screen.
That'll make it 3 x 900s and 1 x 920 I've returned this year. Probably time for me to give up on Nokia and just stick with Samsung.
Have you tried starting it up without the SIM in? May seem silly but my first EE SIM was faulty and it made my phone get stuck in a bootloop. One new SIM card later and it was perfectly fine again!
Only on XDA.

Just passing by this forum an saw this...
that's not normal my friend, for 900 or 920 devices, or perhaps you are unfortunately one of the most unlucky people alive. But statistically that suggest that you would have more luck staying with Nokia, the chances of there being 5 dud devices (assuming no user intervention helped them on their broken way) is astronomically high, changing to another brand resets that statistical analysis to zero, ergo if you are just an unlucky person you will more likely have problems with Samsung
Well all 3 of my 900's came from the same store and were white. I've always suspected that they were all from the same delivery and production batch so put that one down to bad luck. My L920 I think may well have been user error from when I did a hard reset, thinking that I couldn't connect to the app store because my phone needed a reset rather than because the store was down!
However, there are number of people posting in the WPCentral forum who have also killed their phone on a hard reset, so I tested my 2nd handset in the store before leaving and it survived a hard reset so I was happy.
I've now got a replacement and it's all good (apart from the horrid rattle when the vibration goes off for an alert).
My sister exchanged her L920 too as it was suffering from freezing everyday. Hopefully her 2nd handset won't be as troublesome.
I think wp8 is not stable because this is same problem in every other wp8 phone. Microsoft should do something quick before it's too late.

Apparently the rebooting bug is already under investigation .. switching bands from 4G to 3G and/or using different APN settings seems to work for some.

I know this may not be the right forum but I'll say this anyway. This here is a classic example of not understanding probabilities. Intuitively, this argument seems right - since you've already had 4 devices which had problems, the probability of having a 5th device with problem is very less.
However, in reality, the probability of getting a device with problems is not related to the past. So whichever device you choose, your probability of getting a dud device is same regardless of how many problems you've had in the past.
I know this doesn't help but I thought I'll take this opportunity to clear this up
My 2nd handset is now 6 days old and so far I've encountered the following
1) The loud vibrate rattle. I had this on my Lumia 900s so I'm really unimpressed Nokia haven't resolved this issue yet
2) Slightly crackly sound from the loudspeaker (not the earpiece) - this is a minor issue for me really
3) 1 random reset/lock up.
Honestly, it's issue #1 that actually bugs me as #2 is minor and #3 will get fixed in a software update at some point. 1 reboot in a week is fine.
SO my dilemma is whether I take the phone back again this weekend to exchange for one which doesn't rattle :S
I believe they all rattle because of the springs in the camera. You could get the 8x, it's arguably a better looking device with no rattles . However, it'll mean sacrificing Nokia software and that camera. 8x camera is very very good, but the 920 has the best cam of any phone (barring 808).

Hello all this is my first post as I am a new nokia 920 yellow owner. I wanted to comment to show there is currently a solution to bricked devices due to factory reset bug. I have not tested it but, it should be avaliable to everyone considering the people that buy online and don't have access to quickly exchange a device. I hope this helps out some of you.

Best camera, except for some reason Nokia's production camera firmware makes some things far too bright and edges in all conditions are not very sharp.

with regard to brightness, not even a £1000 DSLR can always get it right, experiment with white balance, artificial light can be a real problem to adjust for so quite often you need to set that manually, not saying that's your problem, but id strongly suggest you try changing those settings

I've been waiting for the Lumia 920 to be back in stock at the H3G shop here in my town. Now it's back but I've been feeling some bad vibes around the forums lately. I hear about users having reboots, lockups, dead phones, dust underneath the ffc, bad battery life, buggy browser, lag, light leaks, creaks, herpes and whatnot, so this got me wondering...is this stuff mostly bs or there's actually something wrong with this phone? Has anyone regretted his purchase badly so far? Did the Portico actually help or it's just too little and too late? Please let me know, because reading all of this stuff really puzzled my will. Keep in mind that at this point Android is no longer an option for me, so the only other phone I could go for right now instead of this one would be the iPhone5. I wouldn't mind waiting for something else to come out, but honestly this 800 feels a bit EOL right now and I'd really like to drop it, my battery is also starting to suck a bit so...
Looking forward to hear from you guys, I'm really starting to feel that itch, I've been using this phone for almost a year now, this is kind of a record to me lol.
You are unshure ... why should you by excatly this phone?
You mentioned all the negative threads but you could finde more positive threads about this phone.
It's just your focus. Go into a shop and test the phone.
If you buy and it serves the first week in a good way you can keep it otherwise return it.
I'm happy with my Lumia 920
I have my Lumia 920 (AT&T) for two months and I really love it!
I got the Portico update I the very first day and during the first week of use my phone hung up once. I was worried just like you because I read in the forums many users complaining about the stability issues they had, but honestly that's the only issue I've had with this device! No light leaks, reboots, dust, lag, etc..
There is strange rattling sound when the phone vibrates, but it's nothing to worry about and I got used to it anyway.

@Anis108: Actually I always liked the phone, I love the design, the sturdyness, the screen, the camera, wireless charging, Nokia goodies, and overall I'm just in love with the platform. However I'm also concerned about the reliability of the phone in the software department and I'm also concerned about how the thing can hold up through an extended period of time, since I'm planning on keeping it for a good while. Holding a phone in my hand for a few minutes can't really tell me much about these things, and even a week may not be enough to me, since I tend to be quite picky. Getting a new device is always a big leap of faith for me, especially on contract.
@Boshko: thanks, this is the kind of feedback I'm after...I just wanna hear the good, the bad and the ugly about this phone, because obviously reading topics made by people having issues will make the phone look bad, whereas those about how great the 920 is will gather mostly hardcore fans. I just wanna hear some random opinions to make up my mind here
AW: Is this phone really THAT bad?
Portico fixed my random reboots...

I've had mine since it was released. Love it. Great design, functions beautifully. Haven't had any of the issues posted. I must be living right.
Have mine since it was released last October. No major problems. I've rebooted twice because I think something was sucking my battery too fast. Uninstalled couple of stock apps (stock portfolio, finance apps) and things are back to normal. Love the camera even though I don't use it everyday. Battery life is awesome for me - I routinely get close to two full days (about 40 hrs or more).
All in all, I'm a happy customer.
As far as forum problems, you have to remember that you're more likely to hear what's wrong with the device rather than the positive. Those who have problems come and post their issues so that they can be resolved with other people's help. If you are happy with device and have no problems, you're less likely to post your positive experience.
I'd say don't go by the forums - try the phone yourself and see if you like it or not.
My $0.02.
Using the phone for month and a half I can say it was a good purchase:
Depending on the use that you have intended for it, it may be what you are looking for.
If you are a person who likes to hack things, and wants to see how can you make the phone more customizable via tweaks and those stuffs, then this may not be the ideal for you as this thing is very encrypted and secure(for now).
If you are a corporate guy office and exchange will suit you because are optimized for the platform and consume very little battery.
If you are a globetrotter (travels a lot) then the GPS Navigation apps will suit you.
For the battery life there are two points:
on the first 2 weeks the battery will calibrate itself and you may see that after that time battery life is considerably better.
All the apps that runs on the background only runs for 2 weeks if not opened by you, WP8 has this by default, to enable background running again or to reset the counter just open the app (Microsoft did this for battery life)
I don't have dust on my ffc, camera is very good, phone is solid and at first feels kind of heavy but one gets used to it.
the WP8 is still an ongoing project, so many things are missing on the software side, but are on their way.
Overall I like this phone because I bought it and fulfilled my expectations: Sunlight readability, screen usable with gloves and true offline GPS Navigation, those are what I need for doing my job and the phone is very good at it.
The downsides: Some apps make the phone really hot (not optimized GPS Apps, like "Navigation 3D"), the battery consumption increases way more than other smartphones in low coverage areas and drains the phone quickly (30% more o less), still many software features missing.
So far after portico I have had 3 reboots(1 freeze but occurs on specific hardware calls, like turning "bluetooth on" on very rare conditions).
I plan to stick with this phone for a while, after 3 years with android I felt that the platform was not bringing nothing new, new physical design yes but the OS was always the same and nothing new since android 2.3.

Couldn't say it better..
I've had mine now for about 3 months. Came from (Smart phones) HTC OneX, HTC Evo 3d, Samsung Galaxy S, Moto POS, HTC G1. The 920 is without a doubt, for me, the best phone I've had yet. Everyone's analysis is subjective. Mine is no exception obviously. I will say only this. I have no qualms what-so-ever about recommending this phone to others. Both the hardware performance and the OS for me have been exceptional. Maybe I'm lucky or the exception.
Unfortunately, I'm one of the victims here. To start off, I LOVE this phone - I really do. It has everything I could want, and when it does work it is amazing (wireless charging, NFC, beautiful screen). However I personally am on my 3rd phone. The first 2 had problems locking-up forcing me to do the "power + volume-down" reset. The second phone also got a large piece of dust under the front camera. Fortunately, the 3rd one seems to be working. My wife is on her 2nd phone - same locking-up problem however hers only seemed to lock-up when being wirelessly charged. Now, a friend of mine who just got one is having the same wireless charging lock-up problem.
So I have to ask - what the hell is going on with this phone? By now, Nokia should have all of the "kinks" worked-out, Portico has been delivered and we're still seeing this crap? Oh - and I forgot to mention the "rattle" when vibrate is turned on. Grrr.....
I'm now using an HTC 8x for a while as I moved to China and haven't gotten my 920T yet, and guess what? The 8x works like a champ. Just wish I had wireless charging and more flash storage and I wouldn't go back to the 920T....
Is it just me or does it sound like that people that have flashed from a non stock ROM are the ones that are talking about the most issues? Is debranding and unlocking really worth all the issues this seems to be creating?
I have had mine stock for 3 months now and have not had one single issue that anyone in this entire 920 section has complained about. There is one very tiny light leak if I look down at the screen from the speaker end at an angle that I would never normally look from so it is irrelevant to me.
It just seems that the one common thing that most of these issues have is they are all on flashed phones.
I don't see the point of unlocking and debranding if the phone works for you as it is. We all know from past models that even unlocked there is very little you can do to one of these to customize it.
I have always been taught that if it is not broken, then don't fix it. If it works and does what it needs to as stock then why not leave it stock? Seems a lot more dependable that way to me.
I had rebooting Issues with me german Lumia 920 until I flashed it to the Austrian Portico ROM (I live in Austria). I didn't want to wait for the Update. But I have not had any issues since so flashing seems not to be the culprit. Many of the other issues did not occur on my phone at all.
I'm very happy with it since Portico . Before Portico I had some reservations but that was mainly due to the anxiety that it might reboot again (happened every few days).
Let me just tell you now, I am a perfectionist in the worst kind of way. I have issues with this phone but for some reason, they don't bother me. I'm willing to put up with them, I LOVE this phone so much. I have the light leaks but they're not apparent unless you put your eye very very close to the screen, in the dark and inspect the inside edges of the phone. If I press on the SIM card tray, the chassis of the phone creaks a bit but it's also the thinnest part of the phone so it makes sense. My phone locks up in standby every now and again so I have to reboot it but volume down + power but it only started happening AFTER the portico update. Also, ALL the Lumia 920's rattle when they vibrate because of the OIS in the camera. It's normal. I turned off vibration anyway, cause I don't like it.
I can tell you, the camera is NEXT-TO-NONE, stills and video. The call quality is excellent. The display is awesome and the durability is excellent and I love the cleanliness of the OS. NFC works on this phone the way it SHOULD work. Intuitively. I'm really good with phone as I used to work for a carrier but I couldn't for the life of me get NFC to work on my galaxy nexus, or my S3. They will be updating the phone this holiday season and it can only get better from here! :good:
I have no problems at all from mine. Fantastic device.
well the core functions work flawlessly as compared to other smartphones.
catches gps signal easily for me, camera starts in instance, typing is comfortable and more accurate than android and entire UI is fluid as opposed to android and iphone5 for me.
only problems are the light leak, battery life (but almost all phones have battery life issues unless u use blackberry on 2g signal).
and the dust settles between screen and chassis very easily.
I love mine, the camera is great so is the screen.
Don't have any of the problems that others have had, the only issue for me was once I updated the nokia apps to the here versions, my battery life died a death. a quick uninstall fixed that. but now I only have the map app, will try the others one at a time to find the culprit.

to these songs and get instead : "We were unable to determine the media usage rights for this content" error Lumia 920" Its DRM related I think...Does anyone have a fix ? thanks for the help and sorry if its the wrong thread...
Thanks for your insights guys. Actually I kinda made up my mind, I'm getting the 920 either tomorrow or early next week, still can't decide between white and black tho, any suggestions? Are there any differences in terms of durability?
No problems here.
Go into a hospital and you'll see people with problems, you shouldn't assume humans are rubbish.
Go onto a forum and you'll see people post with problems, you shouldn't assume everyone will have problems.
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...
