Hi all, is anyone experiencing this issue with your 920?
To reproduce:
- Power off
- Press power button and immediately swipe up to unlock
Will it unlock after the immediate initial swipe?
Which ROM/Carrier/Country model you have?
Thanks
UPDATE
After personally testing on several phones/brands, can confirm this is not a Nokia specific issue, it's a general issue with Windows Phone 8 (or at least most ROMs).
Phones tested and having this issue:
- Nokia Lumia 920
- Nokia Lumia 820
- Samsung Ativ
- HTC 8x
(all of them have Windows Phone 8)
Phones tested and not having the issue:
- Nokia Lumia 800
- Nokia Lumia 710
- Nokia Lumia 505
- Samsung Focus S
(all of them have Windows Phone 7.5)
This might not be relevant, but also tested on a Galaxy S3 (has the issue) and iPhone 5 (does not have the issue).
So since this is Windows Phone 8 related, I have created a Uservoice topic, please contribute voting so MS can resolve this soon:

Hi pckshd! I tried the same procedure on my Lumia 920 and dident get any problems.
The phone Unlocks as fast as i swipe the finger over the screen direct after pushing the power button.
Info:
Phone/Model - Lumia 920 (RM-821_eu_sweden_235)
Firmware - 1232.2109.1242.1013
OS - 8.0.9903.0
Best regards
Gustav
i too had similar experience. But it gets ok when i keep he mob unused for half an hour. Now i turned my display and touch settings to high and now not much of a problem. so try this.ok.:good:
Stop focusing on the details of life
bro... I tried it on my 920 too, it has the same problem. The problem is that the lockscreen doesn't appear right away after u press the button. If u wait for it to appear and then swipe, then u wont have a problem. I don't think it'll ever get fixed, prob has sth to do with the WP8 architecture itself. Don't focus on those problems, makes u paranoid. when I first got my 920, I always focus on the little things like how the top is not tight so u could press it down, and how the dust gets into the FFC. after a while I came up with the epiphany that no phone is perfect, u just gotta enjoy it and ignore the minor details. I can c that ur a huge wp fan cuz u got the 800. 920 is a big leap from 800, so y not enjoy ur time using it?
hope this helps u

True no phone is perfect but I was kind of used to the 800 responsiveness (and other WPs, different brands), now every time I grab the 920 I feel I have a heavy and laggard thing in my hand, its kind of not letting me be fast and agile with it...
Of course its a powerful beast, just would love to have that thing resolved.

How secure is the Nokia Lumia 920 / Windows Phone 8 OS, compared to other devices like iPhone and Android ?
Does the Lumia 920 have hardware encryption built in like the iPhone ?
An article below makes out the iPhone to be a very secure device. How does the Lumia 920 compare ?
I am not able to post outside links yet, so can you please google for "DOJ: iPhones 'too secure'; A key moment for the enterprise"
zdnet.com/doj-iphones-too-secure-a-key-moment-for-the-enterprise-7000002548/
Thanks
I'm guessing that you missed out on all the news before about iOS's security issues. The most recent issue was about the fact that Siri cold be activated when the phone is locked and will run what ever commands were sent... Without having to unlock. Generally,someone cold just take your phone, ask Siri for the contac list and they'd have instant access. Not sure if it's fixed. But for WinPhones, they are using secure microSDs. They won't work in normal readers and there's no way of unpartitioning it and repartitioning. At least none of my attempts were successful.

Hi,
i am interested in buying an Lumia 800 but i do not have any knowledge or experience with windows phone. I just want to try this system and the Nokia devices have a very good navigation software and a good camera. How big is the chance that a WP8 Rom will come to the Lumia 800?
Normally i use a Galaxy S3 and just want to buy a second device to play around and test somthing new. So please excuse my noob question. The L800 will cost around 200€ without a contract and i think its a nice alternative to my Samsung.
thanks a lot
lumia
its not going to happen the most you will get is wp 7.8 only the new line of lumias will have w8
if i were you buy the 820 or 920
rob:good:
I would like to buy them but they are too expensive just for testing and playing around. Is it impossible because of the hardware specifications or that there will be no WP8 Source Code available which can be customized with drivers etc. ?
Not possible mate..though u can have a word around here..

Hi,
Even if someone ports a WP8 for a current WP7 device he/she would have to disable all the specific WP8 functionalities which requires higher hardware specification (Dual core CPU and all) so it would be kind of a 7.8 with very marginal improvements.
So I dont think there would be much of a gain in trying to port in WP8 to 800
just my 2 cents and I can be completely wrong
Hee!,
I am an engeneering student and I do not think it is already fair to say porting WP8 will be posible, or not. It is true that the hardware of our current Windows Phone device doesnt reach the Microsoft hardware minimum for windows 8 device. Although this is their minimum, wich not only concludes the ´needings of the system´ but also ´marketings minimums´, for example: who would upgrade to a WP8 device if it is slower?
So not having the minimum hardware requirment doesnt really mean it is imposible to run WP8. Although it requirs a lot of porting and I am not sure if somebody will succees doing it.
Also one last point to mention, as you can find on the forum you can not update all Lumia 800 devices, depends on your bootloader, wich you cant know when you buy it on Ebay.
Does anybody know when Lumia 800 will get an official WP7.8 update? And will it be available in Europe?
they say , in the mittle of December...

Lumia phones are mostly phones as some testing tweaking devices. So i'm wondering, what you expect, as long as 800 is flashable only with qualcomm bootloader. New ones have only Dload, which is not hacked yet. Lumias are not like androids - completly different ROMs, patches, flashable apps,... Lumias are great, fast, reliable phones. Not for messing around.
i think you will try lumia920 or lumia820/822,lumia800 only have wp7.8

welcome to the club.im in the exact same position
From what i have learned so far
there is roms to download,but not a rom that completly changes the phone. The windows platform is way more locked up than the android os, so overclocking and all this stuff is not possible. I anderstand that the windows platform is so well polished that its not nessesary to do something with it. ive just got my 800 too, and also feel like an completly noob coming from android.Good luck!
I'm new to lumia 800 too been running it for nearly a month and impressed. Started with iPhone,Android now Windows not been disappointed so far.

good to hear! think ill be satisfied as well. i dont care about the best camera,or biggest screen,or the most apps.. i use the phone mostly for browsing and sometimes games. Ive seen test where the lumia 800 have been as fast as the iphone 4s, and sometimes slower,and sometimes faster. thats enough for me I also like thath even tho the phone doesent always load the pages on the browser fastest all the time,it shows contents first and is readable first i cant wait to get the 920 later. bet the browser there is very fast
Wait a few weeks, maybe just a few days, and you'll get an update to WP 7.8.
Hello people..welcome to WP! B)
Lumia 800 with HW rev 2.3 (settings>about , HW revision number) can be fully unlocked with root access , if you have one..ill help you unlock
Lumia 800 with HW rev 2.4 cannot be rooted , but there is another way to unlock it for temp you , you can PM me ill let you know since the tuto is not allowed here on XDA.
cheers
I recently required a Nokia Lumia 800 as a backup for work, updated it to 7.8, now i'm wondering will we see anymore updates or bug fixes in the future?
I think the main problem with the Lumia 800 is listening music is terrible on this device, when you first listen to a track more so quiet ones there is a distinct clicking sound at the start of the track, plus the volume low aswell and lack of any real bass, my S3 on the otherhand is superb, but the S3 also had that audio clicking when it first was released, which Samsung did sorted out pretty quickly.
Will this get sorted out at all, or have Nokia decided right you've got 7.8 that it for you lot, if you want more updates buy a Windows Phone 8.
hey there!
next week I'll buy a new phone, and I think that it's going to be a Nokia Lumia 800...
so I have some general questions about this phone:
is it a good phone, worth buying?
is it lagg free?
are there custom ROMS?
are there bugs on the stock ROM?
can i run android on it?
can i play pokémon on it?(eventualy with an emulator?)
are there a lot developpers for the nokia lumia 800?
can it play music loud?
is the windows app store big? (less,even,or bigger than the android play store?)
(i googled some questions, but the xda-developpers are the most trustable ppl for questions like these)
thanx anyway
is it a good phone, worth buying?
It's everyone's own opinion, but for me, defenitly YES.
is it lagg free?
Ähm... well, yes, WP7 is a very smooth running OS with little hardware requirements. With new 7.8 version, there are sometimes some lags in scrolling, but not really often, and not annoying.
are there custom ROMS?
Yes, But you need to modify your phone to qualcomm bootloader, before you can do this.
are there bugs on the stock ROM?
i didn't realy recognize any, but there might be some. Same with every os
can i run android on it?
No. What for?
can i play pokémon on it?(eventualy with an emulator?)
haha, yes threre's a gbc emulator called "purple cherry", works great
are there a lot developpers for the nokia lumia 800?
many? hm... no, not many too many for wp7 in general, but definitly good ones
can it play music loud?
Yes, with custom rom with removed "volume limit"
is the windows app store big? (less,even,or bigger than the android play store?
way less than android store, but what for? you need quality, not quantity.
There's nothing i'm really missing. so...
I'm happy with my Lumia 800 and it's worth buying. When I unlocked bootloader I won't leave my phone ^_^
There's everything I need and want.
Are there any lags? Of course not. Last time I've experienced a lag (there were 2, maybe 3) was on WP 7.5, but now with 7.8 I almost forgot what lag is ^_^
i'll buy one!
ok, thanks for the (very fast!) answers!
you guys convinced me to buy one!!
thank you so much guys
You're welcome. surely you won't be disappointed, I would never change WP for android.
If you have any questions - ask boldly
update
well, i'm randomly thinking of another question: what is the difference between WP 7.5 and 7.8? and how can we upgrade the luma800 to 7.8?

It's pretty simply. What you need is just to plug your phone on USB to PC and run Zune
Between 7.5 and 7.8 the biggest difference are tiles. On 7.5 you had only two sizes, medium and big and couldn't change their size but now, on 7.8, you can easily make your tile small, medium or big.
In 7.8 there are 20 accents to change colors your tiles and everything to this one you like or your mood is.
Also, in 7.8 there is Bluetooth sharing (which is not avaiable on other phones with 7.8 - it's just for Nokia only but other phones can bypass it ^_^) and Ringtone maker - from Nokia too.
They added Google as a default search (before there were only Bing and Yahoo).
That's the major changes.
thanks
well okay then, again, thank you very very much
