[Q] Some issues with the Lumia 920 - Nokia Lumia 920

So I finally decided to take a leap...from my Android (htc one X) to Windows Phont (Lumia 920). The initial experience was good. The build quality of the phone and the response..the screen is great. So i switched off the One X and decided to make the lumia a full time replacement....thats when I noticed these issues...any else have the same?
Google contacts: Yes...Windows does accept a google account, but i noticed not all numbers went into my 'people'. I had to go and rename all second 'Mobile' to 'Car'. remove Others...etc etc...In the end it worked. Phew!
Power button - its a bit dodgy...the other buttons seem ok. the power button seems a little off. Anyone else notice this?
Whatsapp - Video cannot be uploaded. Clicking on the video button does nothing! (2.8.2 version)
Push email - Exchange and generally all push emails come really late! Is there something I can do to make it work the way its supposed to work?
Gmail email - My second gmail account cannot have 'as items arrive' option, though it allowed for my first account. How do I enable it?
Music app - As it starts...the music starts to play..but the phone doesnt respond..it hangs (typical windows!)..the home button etc does nothing for about 5-10 seconds..and then it responds
Music player (pause/resume) - So i was listening to some music...and then i got a call..pulled out my headset, the music paused..great..spoke to the other person on the phone...after the call ended, the music continued to play..from the built in speakers! how do I change the option to NOT resume on headset connect?
...i am starting to miss Android...a little bit.

Michy 4.1 rom tweak questions

LOVE this upgrade to my Athena
couple things I'd like to tweak and searches so far havent helped. I'll use this thread as these items come up
1) Voice Command. It doesnt seem to kick in when pushing my BT earpiece button (like voice dial did). I rely on voice dial, any way to turn off voice command and go back to voice dial?
2) Today screen. Any way to add a big clear battery life indicator. I use my Athena so much that i may go to an external battery pack velcroed to the back. For now, I'd like a big precise batt indicator though.
3) Youtube viewer security cookie error. It finds videos and makes thiumbs, but when I go to play one, the security cookie error appears.
4) Message count icons, would like them to be bigger!
5) When pressing on any SMS message from the list, I get bounced back to the today screen (!) and cant read it. Live messages are fine, just sms do this.
6) Can I add more rows of program Icons on the today screen. two just isnt enough!
7) How do I exit from icontacts (which I think is awesome!) but there is no red x to end it.
8) Favorite Today Contacts - how do I set which number it dials for that contact. Most contacts have more than one number and it doesnt sem to allow me to pick which phone number gets dialed for that contact.
Anyway, the GPS seems to lock WAY faster with this rom and 1.58 radio. have others seen this? Very happy as GPS used to take up to TEN MINS to lock at times which made it kinda useless.
Thanks all

1) I have the opposite problems, I cant shut the dam thing up.
2)there is a cab file called qwertymemory & dcibattery that puts two coloured lines each side the task bar.
3)Don't know, mine does it though
4)try using michy large today plugin cab file
5)Don't know
6)there is a program in the rom called tray icons that does this
7)try the settings in WKtasks
8)don't know
Update - little progess
Okay, I reflashed the rom. No change in SMS closing behavior. The screen shows SMS messages, I can go see the list, but when I tap one to read it get thrown right back to the Today screen.
Also, no change in YouTube, when I try to see a yoityube video it says "failed to get you tube security cookie". I wonder if AT&T blocks it somehow.
I tried the Michy big today screen and it was nice, but too much clock and I wonder if other today screens exist to try, and if so, where are they?
I could not find the "tray icons" program and still need to add a third row of program shortcuts.
Observation: the system=>memory program doesnt show "running programs" anymore. I guess Michy wants to go to task manager for those perhaps?
Update - You Tube fix found
Okay, the rom comes with YouTubePlay v1.0.0.7
the latest one is 1.0.0.11 and that FIXED the issue. In fact the rlease nots shows the fix for that exact error. But funny thing, even though the install of v11 said it would remove the old one, it didnt. Now I have two and one is useless I'd like to remove it but must be part of the rom. Oh well, youtube works *finally* on my device for the first time ever.
Thanks XDA forum !
of course. the 4.1 one is a lot old...it's normal
to michy
Hi Michele,
I was advised here that 4.1 is the most stable. One big issue is that it cannot display SMS messages. The SMS message list shows up but when click a single message to rwead it, the today screen comes right back.
Is this a known issue to you?
Would you suggest a newer ROM even though I need stable as possible?
Thanks for all you do!
Oh question too, what is the difference between 6.1 'diamond' and 6.1 'Full' rom?
thank you!
where can i find a copy of michy's 4.1 rom?
hello there. I tried everywhere to find a copy of the 4.1 ROM by michyprima.. I can't find it anywhere.. all the links seem to be DEAD.. can anyone REUPLOAD it for me? OR send me a working LINK? thank you very much..

Known bugs on the jetstream. Please share/confirm

These are a few things that I have found while I've had the Jetstream. All are minute and I would still buy the Jetstream again even knowing about these small bugs because the jetstream is that functional to me.
Anyone want to check these out and confirm them?
Also, list other bugs you see and we can confirm then as well.
1. In gallery, touch and hold a pic, share to Picasa, at the window to determine which album to upload it to, it doesn't provide a list and therefore won't upload to Picasa via gallery. WORK AROUND: Download the app Photosync by Akira Soumi (Doesn't support bmp file uploads though, i believe) I use this app to sync my photos between my EVO, Picasa, and Jetstream.
2. Sometimes the music app will show a previously played song list when browsing into a new album song list. Ex: when browsing into arcade fire, the song list instead will be David bowie if he was played last. WORK AROUND: Do not select a song to play. Instead, long press on the ALBUM the song is in. Plays the album every time with no glitch.
3. When using google docs, no keyboard appears when attempting to type. Though, this is an android bug, not only on the Jetstream. My roommate has a Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 and his does the same.
4. Like 3, this one is not native to only Jetstream, I assume. On some text fields on webpages such as Photobucket or Picasa, I am not able to touch and hold to bring up the copy/paste menu. I wish they would put copy into the menu list for the browser.
I cannot think of others at the moment. I will add to the list as I find things. Perhaps an update will fix these annoyances. Please share.
EDIT: Added work arounds for two of my glitches I've mentioned

Im sorry you are experiencing these issues. So far i have not experience any of them at all. the only thing i dont like about is is the lag. For been 1.5ghz dual it sure lags, specially the browser.also, the memory is always below 140mb free. Is this normal?
Thanks
I have the music app bug as well, so bad that I just downloaded the Music app from Google and was done with it. I miss the lock screen widget, but the HTC Music app was too painful to keep up with.
Another bug I've found is with using a Bluetooth keyboard. When the keyboard is left paired until the tablet sleeps, when turning the tablet back on and disconnecting the BT keyboard the onscreen keyboard continually pops up. This happens even on the home screen, and in the music app. Pressing the back key to remove the virtual keyboard does so, but it comes back in a matter of seconds.
I've had to turn off auto screen rotation because it was far too sensitive.
Still no option to sync picasa web albums in the Accounts & Sync section (such as was available on the Xoom)

Yep, seems to be the case here too.
1. Notes app, confuses itself with too many file revisions, notes vanish from view, but are still present in .data.
2. Browser not syncing bookmarks from chrome.

Some times I can download by 400kb/S after while the speed come down to 45kb/S
To solve it. I should switch off the data conection and switch on again

see my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306673
but my LTE connection fluctuates wayyy more then a normal connection. i can do 3 back-to-back speed tests and get 10mbps, 18mbps, 4mbps, 23mbps (highest i saw) all while my signal is going up and down. Im calling this a bug since i happen to work for AT&T and know that the tower im connected to is only a few blocks and i radio tested my phone next to my tablet and my phone wasn't switching nodes/towers whatsoever.
and considering where i live theres prolly 20 LTE users at peak using the node since LTE isnt available yet and isnt planed till 2012ish. i know its one of the like 10 test towers in the city
ps, also calling it a bug cuz i switched the sim
ps and i dont knoow how to get a tabletinto test mode to see if it is somehow bouncing nodes/towers
pen issue
i use the scribe pen alot and notices that if i'm not using the pen pallet for a few minutes while in the PDF viewer - it won't open again until i'll quit the app and open it again. and that too is not so consistent.
My sound cuts off. Seems to need a reboot to recover.
**KNOWN BUG**
if you are in an LTE market and connect to LTE, the device boot-loops. HTC is working on a fix

I was in DFW last week with no boot loop. They are LTE. Seems like out happens in places that are about to light up LTE

are you saying that since LTE isnt officialy lit till tov 9th in boston (where i live) its causing that issue? HTC said it was a fix they need to put out
i have also noticed video issues, mainly a lot of android vanilla stock video options are removed from the jetstream... thus apps like Plex do not work and it is annoying as hell. Also I wish there was a way to get root and enable the wifi hotspot ability. If i pay for data I want to use it as i want.
Occasionally when pressing the home button i get a box that says loading for 10-30 seconds before my home screen appears.

It seems also that the external SD card loads quite slowly after a fresh boot. It takes a good 15-20 minutes to load all the mp3s into the music app from the sd card. It should not take so long.
bizarre split screen noise on top half
ok I found this thread and have the jetstream since Sept '11.
awkward thing I notice is that flash does not want to work via opera browser.
in generic sense browser the flash works but playing videos via full screen flash player the screen splits with noise, static overlaying the top half of the screen. Can any one else please confirm this?
lastly I enabled pin lockscreen and upon restart and attempting to unlock the screen upon startup in landscape mode the device will just do this boot loop. I noticed you can avoid the bootloop if you unlock in portraitmode.
settings app would just close out if I attempted to enter the power setting in the list. hard reset fixed that.
tablet completely froze out when fully charged trying to perform an encryption. Had to enter the recovery mode and factory reset.
Anyone else having the flash player split screen when watching a video?
No flash issues here in stock browser or Dolphin for tablets.

Style over substance?

So, I’ve had the device for over a week now. I bought the phone as a spare one as I’m traveling abroad a lot and was tempted by navigation (Nokia Drive) and Zune subscription. The phone seemed to be a great option to put a local sim in.
But:
1. No way to change mms settings for local sim
2. Nokia Drive isn’t offline navigation as promised. It still needs the internet to calculate or recalculate the route.
3. Zune is impossible to use as there’s this annoying clicking noise while skipping the track
4. The ringtone and vibration is so soft that I keep missing a lot of phone calls
5. Facebook app for wp7 is a mess when it comes to messages section which I often use. Some messages come as text (baked in integration) some come via Facebook app and some don’t come at all (despite being notified by Facebook app). App developer advises to use web version to access the messages.
6.No WiFi priority (even if you’re in WiFi range and the phone is in standby it still uses 3G, rather than WiFi to get push notifications and sync with your email, calendar, etc)
Don’t get me wrong. The build quality and the screen is absolutely fantastic, but performing day to day tasks is a struggle! Oh, I don’t have the battery problem. Battery life’s been really great for me.
What do you think guys?
WiFi priority would make a big difference I reckon.
I've taken to switching 3g off when I'm either in the office or at home on a wifi network and it has noticeably prolonged battery life.
Nokia do need to have a look at releasing some software fixes sharpish. I read somewhere else that the two updates they are promising in the next month were on the cards before the phone went on sale which smack of a rushed release date to me.
Nokia maps does work offline at least mine does Yu have to download the maps for the country tough it won't just have maps for the world built in as that would take gigs of space

Hey buddy..
nice info buttttttttt
1) Navigation is offline if you have downloaded the maps and have gps on ... i tested it this morning with network off.....and it worked fine .
2) vibration has been mentionwd a few times and nokia are improving the strenth in the next update in a few days or so now so thats cool as i agree its to soft .
3) wifi priority is also being fixed in the next update along with xbox sync or straem to xbox thing its basically an app whoch you can link to your xbox and play music wirelessly through your tv or view pics on you phone through your tv etc ..
4) facebook are making a new app for windows 7 which will make it more like the iphone facebook app so that should be ready v v v soon .... well actually knowing fb a yrs time haha
5) zune is bollox i agree and hopefully we wont have to use it soon as i can see this phone being hacked v v soon to use mass storage
have a great day buddy and excuse my spelling lol i cant spell v well hahah
I don't get the Zune hate it is by a long long way the best media manager I have used though if i had a clock that would annoy me but I think thats something to do with your setup as mine dos not. Only thing I found is its a bit slow to start and its remote control is a use is a bit iffy. As for what its sposed to be used for is managing music a challange anyone to five a better easier smoother bit of software. Esp when ot come to album art and fixing track names etc

No. Nokia Drive doesn't work offline. Check here http://www.nokia.co.uk/gb-en/support/faq/?action=singleFAQ&caseid=FA136278_en_US
Zune is lovely if not this annoying clicking sound while changing track.
The problem is, the device is not really usable at the moment. I know, there will be updates, but why to rusj it to the market.
I want something that works out of the box rather than wait for updates.
Don't get me wrong. I love the device but at the moment it doesn't do what was supposed to do.
Seems perfectly usable to me.
On a side note all smartphones have issues on release however I don't see one which makes this phone unusable.
2. Nokia drive has offline maps.
3. No clicking sound on Zune for me.
4. Phone volume could be higher so I turn up the volume more than normal but isn't a deal breaker.

If this is true then the battery life will be pretty sweet I reckon. My phone has been on for 5 hours today so far with 3G off and has used 14% with lots of texts, couple of phone calls and an app install (bandwidth tester to check that I was using the wifi connection and not 2G). That's normal use for me and yesterday, I had used 25% by this time, so much improved.
Well how odd re offline maps I just tryed it again and dissable network and works fine ??? Unless it allows for the maps even though network is turned off ,?
You're trying to say that white is black! It doesn't work offline. You've got your offline maps, but if you want to search for POI or find a route it needs the internet connection.

[Q] Which ROM to fix those problems?

Hello everybody. I'm a new one on this forum and have only basic knowledge about ROM's, so please be undestanding. I have installed the ICS with Cyanogen Mod, the newest update. I am happy with the new system, but there are a few problems which I would like to solve.
1. Volume mute - when I listen to music on Power Amp and an sms or call comes, the music mutes and doesn't come back to the volume after I answer the call/sms. I haven't found anything in settings to fix that, is there a solution?
2. Facebook sync - I can't synchronize the contacts from Facebook with the contacts on my phone. I click on "Facebook" in "Accounts" menu, turn the Fb on and nothing happens.
3. Multiple selection in contacts - I have to be completely blind or stupid, but I can't see the option of multiple selection in contacts anywhere. And it's disturbing, when I want to delete a few contacts at the same time, for example.
4. Battery life - the system sure runs smooth and nice, but requires a lot of power. I know that listening to music needs a lot of energy (and I listen to music on my phone very often), but when I had the previous Android version it was still consuming less energy. Now I have to charge the battery almost every day (previously every 3-2 days).
5. Music equalizers - they simply just don't work. Previously when I turned them on I heard a difference, now - none.
6. Youtube - previously I had a Youtube app and I could watch films in HQ. Is there a similar app for this system, some codecs, etc?
Yes, I know this doesn't look really professional, but I don't know how to solve those problems and I tried to explain everything in a simple way. So, is there a ROM that will fix those problems? I would really appreciate Your help.
Cheers, Kaja

Skype - Latest Version - Video Quality Sucks?

I've been using Skype on my Flyer since last November with great results. I bought my GF one for her Xmas too and we've always had good quality calls when I'm away from home.
She made the mistake of doing the update to HC a few months ago and since then our calls (from her side) were of poor quality - the video image was more pixelated and the video appears to jump back in time every so often.
I just updated to the later version of Skype the other week and now it appears that my video quality also sucks. It was excellent before.
Any ideas?
I had to remove and re-install Skype tonight as we couldn't get a video call to work at all....the cameras on both tablets would not activate and we were both left with black/blank screens.
Same here on my View, quality has been poor recently.
Plus I can't stay logged in for more than 20 minutes. It automatically logs me out and closes by itself and when I try to log back in I have to redo my password. I tried unistalling and then reinstalling but still the same.
Does anyone have the same log in problems as I do?
Have you contacted the creator of the App?
I have another issue with Skype that is strange, most of the time I launch the app and it logs in but no contact show up - turns out that it will somehow login without my password. It's not really logged in but for some reason a blank version of Skype is running - I need to log out and then login with the password and it's back to normal.
I've become used to this but it is a pain.
I left feedback for Skype complaining about the recent lack of quality of calls on both Windows and Android platforms.
Skype used to be by far the best option out there on Windows but recently I've been using MSN and Yahoo as the quality is vastly superior.
Is this what happens when Microsoft get involved?
One other thing that I noticed last night is that when the call starts my video is upside down (in my view). I then have to rotate the tablet to portrait mode and flip back to landscape to get it oriented properly. Anybody else having this problem? The other party sees my video in the correct orientation.
