Quick question - I did a manual install of B330 last weekend, and everything seemed OK, until I was looking at web page on the way to work. When my phone is on 4G (switching the phone to 3G mode seems to stop the issue) it seems to be blocking mobile data so just to be on the safe side, I did a factory reset.
Anyway - still doing this (as I checked on the way home tonight). What seems to be happening is that Chrome is ending up in the Power Usage Firewall list as a power intensive app, and getting blocked. If I untick it in the firewall page it's fine, until I look at the next web page.
My question is how do I stop power intensive apps getting added to the firewall?
Update - my phone just doesn't seem to like 4G connections at all - any app that uses data just doesn't seem to want to work, unless I switch the phone to 3G/2G mode. Nobody else having this issue? Should also have mentioned that I'm on 3 UK.

Check your settings. I don´t have such a thing on mine. Power usage is just a warning at notifications panel.
As for Three 4G, check your coverage. I've read the indoors coverage is a bit disappointing.

I've looked through all the settings I can find, and nothing is immediately obvious to change - Three 4G doesn't exist in my home town, but has a strong signal inside and out at my workplace. Plus this worked perfectly in B180. (and colleagues in the same office use 4G on 3 without issue on other makes of handset)
As for where to see the firewall stuff - Phone Manager - Battery Manager - Power Usage Firewall.

The list is populated, but the apps are only blocked if you select them to be so.
Even touching the app from the firewall list (not touching the check mark), you may choose if the app still runs in background after screen goes off.
You may have something wrong at the mobile network settings. Have you enabled "Mobile data always on"?

Yes - as I mentioned before, the phone works perfectly in 3G mode, which would also require the "Mobile data always on" option. It's only when I enable the 4G option that the issues show up - 4G performance is so bad most of the time it times out, and on the odd occasion it does work (rare) - it is slower than 3G.
It's frustrating as this was never an issue on B180.
Have you tried with other SIM? My experience is that reception is as good as B180 with 2 different networks, one being Vodafone UK.

Signal strength is fine - there are colleagues in the same room also on Three who have no issues with 4G, suggesting the network itself is OK.
Try Activity Launcher e browse around the options, specially the settings. There are hidden options, not available through Emui skin.

I'll give a try next week - not likely to be in a 4G area again until then.
Thanks for the suggestions so far though.
Strangely enough, I ended up in a 4G area yesterday, but a different part of the city. Phone worked flawlessly on 4G. Back in the same city, at work - nothing on 4G. 3G is fine.
Hopefully, final update - was playing around with the settings on the phone and tried changing it from smart power plan to performance, and 4G now works fine in the city centre. Don't understand why it needs performance in the city centre, and works OK on smart a couple of miles away, but I can live with the couple of hours shorter battery life I get.
Thanks again for the suggestions though.

Hi I just purchased my Amaze two weeks ago, and am pretty pleased with it so far. There are a few small issues I've had with it, mostly with the HTC Sense UI (I'm used to stock Android on my N1 and G2X). One that is particularly annoying is the inability to disable the data connection.
For battery maximization I usually keep my Amaze on 2G, since I don't need my apps to update or sync at the speed of light, and only use 4G when I'm actively using the browser, using maps, or streaming music. (A capability the phones on crap AT&T don't even provide)
However, sometimes I would like to be able to turn it off altogether, such as in the rare case that the signal is not strong enough for data anyway or if the battery is really low. My Gingerbread Nexus One and G2X both allowed me to cut the data, but the Amaze only has the "always-on" option which doesn't guarantee that the data will shut off (originally it did, but doesn't seem to anymore).
Another more annoying problem that I have, which oddly enough I also had with my G2X, is that after some long calls the phone will refuse to download data, but will be stuck in "upload" (looking at the status bar icon). The only way to correct this is a restart or turn airplane mode on and off.

You CAN turn off data: go to:
settings, wireless & Networks, UNCheck Mobile network...done no more data,
another way: pull down the notification bar, on the bottom go to quick settings, then UNCheck Mobile Network.
If you want to completely cut off your cell reception put your phone in plane mode by holding the power button, then enable wifi only!!
Wow I feel really stupid...I always assumed "mobile network" meant total network connectivity meaning switching it off would have the same effect as airplane mode. I guess I still haven't fully gotten used to Sense and its interesting choice of terminology. Just today I found out I can't set a wallpaper that stretches over onto multiple home screens like stock Android.
Thanks for the help seansk!

correct, you cannot use scrolling background with sense UI, but you can with 3rd party launchers.
You can also turn off Data by...Dropping the Notification bar, on the bottom there will be a tab called Quick Settings. Select it and it will show a list of items to turn on and off....Turn Check OFF for Mobile Network.

Just download "apn onOff" app on the market.. Then place a shortcut on your home screen
With the shortcut you can easily turn off/turn on ur data connection with going through steps
Old Sense was able to scroll wallpaper, but probably as 3d is ressources consuming, wallpaper scrolling would be a cpu kilker.

Has anyone else noticed their Lumia using 3G when it shouldn't be e.g. at home with a working wifi access point?
Mine has done this a few times and because WP7 is so clean and simple it's pretty hard to see what's actually going on - there's no data counter. And to make it worse the data icon shows in the status bar even when wifi is on. Ideally it would show one or the other.
Yes, I notice that too. It could be a bug.

Yup, I think it uses 3G when the phone is locked, as the phone seems to disconnect from Wi-Fi when you lock the phone. Another bug that probably needs addressing.
Yes! This affects me too.
It switches to 3G randomly when I'm on wifi and kills my data without me realising (or shows failed page loads when I have full wifi reception).
It also turns off wifi whenever I lock phone which seems to disrupt/cancel all push messages! Push messaging just isn't working.
So is this problem unique to Lumia 800?
i've noticed this too. it'll also present me with wifi hotspots to connect to, including ones it should be connected to.
as of now, i don't know whether it's an issue with locked or unlocked handsets. my handset was bought unlocked with no branding, but i've noticed some of the bugs i'm having don't seem to happen on network locked/branded handsets.
It's not a Lumia thing, it's just how WP works. Turning off wifi to save on battery use I guess. Android has the same default setting, although it allows you to change it.
I can understand it using 3G for background processes, like you say Android does the same thing.
What I can't understand is it using 3G when I am using the web browser on the phone, and the Wifi icon is lit at the top of the screen.

That's not the case actually, before the firmware update I used to get my notifications, after the update, I don't, I think Nokia did it on the firmware update.
Which firmware was this working in btw?
Oh and turning off WLAN when you have an active connection does NOT save power. It only saves power when there isn't an active connection because the 3G uses more for retrieving background data (eg. regular email, social networking updates) and *much* more for retrieving heavy data. I have tested this on numerous Nokia phones.
^ i got the opposite result - normally i have WLAN turned on at all times, because it always connects to wifi at home and at work. my battery lasted much longer (it lasted the night with 39% left, as opposed to going flat sometime in the night) with just the 3g turned on.
I noticed that wi-fi only stays on after you lock the screen if the phone is charging. Otherwise it cuts the conncetion. Very annoying indeed if you are downloading big games over wi-fi. However I get my notifications and emails just fine in any case. Remeber though, windows phone doesnt support proper push, hence why they cant get skype to recieve calls in the background. Facebook and whatsapp push always comes about 3-4 minutes later than needed.
Another thing that i have been testing for a while on various phones (nokia n9 included, not the lumia because it's too unreliable) and also got mentioned in this tread is wi-fi vs 3g consumption.
So my results are:
with 3 emails 15-30 mins sync or push for one, at least one push service eg, facebook, vkontakte whatsapp etc (where possible)
i concluded that if you just leave the phone there for a day in standby and dont use it, it drains quicker with wi-fi on. Everytime. Every phone.
However when using the internet eg. browsing for half an hour etc. wi-fi uses a lot less battery than 3g.
So only use the wi fi when you need it and switch it off for background tasks. (WP7 does that anyway, for a reason)
I just wanted to post on the XDA forums that there is a thread to help determine what is causing the "heat + battery drain" issue(s) on the Lumia 920.
http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nok...n-ATT-Overheats-Battery-Draining/td-p/1606012
Specifically, we've seen fairly normal battery drain when using applications, but when LTE data is introduced the battery continues to drain at a rate of 7-8% per hour even after the applications are closed. For example, streaming something like Xbox Music or Netflix over the LTE connection (wifi OFF), the phone warms up considerably and the battery continues to drain at a high rate even after those applications are closed. The same applications behave normally over 3G or Wifi, and the battery drain is not present afterward.
The "fix" so far appears to be disabling LTE altogether.
• Open Dialer
• Punch in ##3282 and hit Call
• At the Field Test menu, choose more options via the three dots (lower right)
• Select Settings
• Under network type, select "3G only". UMTS should be set to "Automatic".
• Change the "Toggle ENS" setting to OFF
• Back out, power off the phone, and power on again
Definitely interested in hearing other's reports on this issue. Specifically, does this happen with ALL Lumia 920 phones? Is this specific to this particular model phone? Is this a Nokia issue, LTE chip issue, or WP8 issue? Was this introduced with the Portico update?
Thanks.
Upon further testing.........
Disabling LTE is *not* the ultimate fix. Yes, it does help keep the battery drain down to more reasonable levels, but it does not solve the problem. I've subsequently tested with the little brother phone -- the Lumia 820 -- to see if the issue is on all WP8 handsets, on all Lumia phones, or even limited to post-Portico update phones (in other words, did Portico make this issue).
After some thorough testing, I can say with confidence that this issue is specific to the Lumia 920 and not necessarily all WP8 handsets or Lumia phones.
Detailed thread here: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nok...Overheats-Battery-Draining/m-p/1795212#M43837
I am currently working with Nokia to find a long-term resolution to this issue.
Please keep us updated, I'm very interested in knowing how to fix this problem! ??
I found that disabling bluetooth helps out.
Battery drain
To help reduce battery drain I do the following on my WP
I get a connectivity shortcut app. There are a few options available in the store. Anyway I pin airplane mode, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Location on my home screen and turn them off when I'm not using them. Turning off location turns of GPS, so you must enable it before launching Drive/Here. A lot of battery issues I think have to do with the phone being to aggressive (power wise) trying to search for signal. Whether its Wi-Fi a Bluetooth device, etc. I also disable Tap+Send (NFC) because I never use it.
And I go into background tasks and I block every single app from running in the background except the ones I am sure I want to run. Remeber the list where you can block them is for apps that want to run on a timed schedule, they can still run in the BG if you home screen out of them. For me the only one I allow is MS Weather (for the live tile). Disabling Nokia Drive/Here seems to help battery life for some people.
The biggest battery saver I did was forwarding my other email accounts (Gmail & Yahoo!) to Outlook.com, and then set that to only look every 1 hour (instead of the stock 30 minutes). My phone went from lasting 1 - 1.5 days to over 2.5 - 3 days with my typical usage (light usage).
I try not to use Live Tiles, or lock screen pictures unless I really want them (like weather for instance), as they help drain the battery quicker.
Anyway Nokia is really on top of their game so I think they will help contribute to WP to eliminate these issues. The only non-software related issue with the 920 is the dust in the FFC, which personally does not bother me but I could see how it might bother others.
##3282 isn't working for me after yesterday's update. Lets see how I do with the battery today!!!
The earpiece on mine does not work I can't hear anyone and top of phone gets warm I have sent it to nokia repair.

Thanks for the tip!
I also have 5-8% per hour drain. (actual offi. release .1308...)
all off, sync, loaction, WLAN every thing, fresh reboot, phone on my desk, not working with it, about 2 lines H signal.
when i switch to airplane mode....1-2% battery drain over a complete night!
its also no problem to activate airplane mode ON and afterwards WLAN additionally ON, then about 1-4% over a night!
i tried everything i found on the inet.
and i have my white L920 since Dec.12! (i did a "hard" update over PC in Feb. and also the the last release over the air...nothing changed)
so now i'm checking if this works for me and post results
I'm located in AUT with an unlocked, unbranded GER L920.
and we dont have LTE til now...maybee thats the problem..?!

So then how do you set your network speed?
u don't need access to ##3282...its also possible to "limit" within settings/network. (##3282 NOT working within f.e. Rapdialer!!)
I limit it to "2G" only when its more importand to have less battery consumption than inet speed
limited to "2G" in my region it shows me afterwards a "E" on top.
On this PIC i found in the inet is "roaming" deactivated.
I have to activate "roaming" also when I'm within my own network to have inet access (and the "E").
In my town, network operators share their mobile radio transmitters.
I limited direktly at my provider the access to a "real roaming network" for example a swiss network.
Because i'm most of the time near the border
maybee not possible in your version or provider?
I'm on a free GER version.
Definitely trying this tonight.

My experience is that, I reset the cellphone and after doing this twice and connecting to the internet and waiting for one hour, Microsoft gave me an update for my battery saver and since that time everything is ok, including the battery. I always believed that the updates have problems to be installed completely most of the time, so it's better to reset or download it via the computer and instal it with a cable( using Nokia Software Update). But if it doesn't work, please don't panic. The updates are coming and just be sure that you have reset your device without choosing the setting backup, for you must start afresh. Good Luck.
I updated to N900VVRUBMJE last night and woke up this morning to a SIM NOT INSTALLED (or similar message, I didn't save it). I fixed it by simply rebooting. I'll keep an eye out to see if it happens again. I've never had that happen on this phone (I've had the note 3 since the day it was released).
MJE wifi connectivity problems "staying connected"
I feel ya. I'm having problems with my home wifi. Works fine as long as i have at least 1 bar of service. I live about 1/2 mile from a cell tower but i think my home is in a dead spot because i can only manage to get 1 bar, if i go into my bedroom i loose signal all together but have full wifi bars but even with full wifi service in my room it still constantly drops wifi, i can only seem to manage to stay connected as long as i have 1 bar of service. I have already went into wifi settings and made sure the wifi auto switch was unchecked. I also opened root explorer went to efs, carrier opened hidden menu with texted editor turned the ON switch to OFF. Still no luck. So i changed it back after about a day. Im starting to wish i would had gotten the HTC Max.

Changing the Hidden Menu text from off to on only gives you access to the hidden menu...it does not do anything to change wifi or any other settings. Once you've set the hidden menu from off to on, you then have to go into the hidden menu by dialing *#27663368378# and then at the ServiceMode screen, press the hard menu button, then select Wifi, then press the button under WIFI POWER SAVE MODE to turn it off.
See the full thread here!
I did notice a decrease in LTE signal strength after updating to MJE and I have since flashed back the MJ7 modem and everything is back to normal.

I also noticed a tremendous decrease in LTE strength, but flashing the MJ7 modem didn't fix it for me unfortunately. I'm going to install SS, root, and flash CleanROM to see if it gets fixed somehow.
Overall, can those of you have that already installed the JE update provide any input as to how has the performance of the update has affected the performance of the phone?
I'm running Beans B4 right now, and would like to update to B5, but have to take the JE update in order for the ROM to work.
Any further feedback would be appreciated. :highfive:

I didn't notice any change in performance...either positive or negative. My initial OTA update did break video recording for some reason and it just didn't 'feel' right. So, I did an "emergency firmware recovery" via Kies and everything worked great after that, so I guess something just went wrong with the original OTA update. I didn't have any volume/sound issues to begin with, so I don't see any major difference...but I've seen lots of reports that people who were having issues are pleased with the results.
I did however notice that my LTE signal strength was terrible. I went to our local mall, where I usually have one or two bars, but can always make and receive calls. I kept getting 'no signal' & '1x' indicators. I got home and my wife said she called me six times...I didn't get a single one. I checked my signal strength while sitting in my bed & it was 106dBm. I then flashed the MJ7 modem that night & afterwards my signal was at 97dBm sitting it the same spot. The next day I went back to the mall and called my wife with no problem. I had her call me at five minute intervals as I moved throughout the mall and I received every call. That might not be scientific results...but I won't go back to the MJE modem. The good news is that you can update to MJE and still use the MJ7 modem like I did.
Hope that helps!
My experiences have been positive so far. My LTE Speeds have increased quite a bit. The only thing I've noticed....one of my Apps, Camera2, will NOT open, it simply crashes,
Hi All I have the Mate 20 Pro and absolutely loving it apart from the below problem.
WiFi keeps dropping out. It's definitely nothing to do with the wireless router as all other devices working perfectly and my previous SAMSUNG S7 never had any issues they only started when I got this new phone.
Unfortunately its causing serious issues for me as I can't get data connection downstairs and rely on WiFi.
I've read others have problems and apparently Hawai cut corners with the WiFi and put a poor quality device inside?
Is there anything that can be done or is this definitely a hardware problem and something I just have to live with I. E. Not being able to use it on WiFi?
It shows full bars on the WiFi status symbol top left but will connect one minute and the next minute can't even load a new page, Facebook comments, or will just pause and start spinning on a video.
Bump!! Same problems! My Galaxy S7 and S8 always worked flawless with notifications and internet connection switching between wifi and 4G. Mate 20 pro drops out. Now also remembering my old Ascend Mate 7 did the same. Huawei problem, but is there a solution?
I have tried various settings in the wireless and developer settings no luck. I cant seem to find the usual android settings to keep wifi on always...
Did you guys check under Settings/Battery/More battery Settings if "Stay connected when device sleeps" is ON?
Pretty stupid to hide it there (Samsung had it in the right place under WiFi settings) but whatever.
My Wifi NEVER disconnects at home or work and I DO get emails even if the app is set to pull every 30 min (so it wakes up properly and pulls data). Plus unlike my old S7Edge, WiFi reported power drain is always below 1%...so negligible.
I've noticed Youtube keeps losing connection when using Chromecast
