Changing volume on my Lumia 920 doesn't work while...

I got this problem just yesterday. Whenever I play a song or a video on my Lumia 920, I can't change the volume while playing it. I can only change it before playing it. What should I do?

Try performing a soft reset by holding both Volume Down and Power buttons pressed until the handset vibrates and reboots. You will not lose any data or settings except Date and Time, which you can readjust manually. Check also that you are up to date with your phone's firmware and all system apps including the music one are also up to date with their latest versions.

Changing Map Default App on Lumia 920

Just got a new lumia 920, love the Windows Phone 8, not liking so much that Nokia apps have taken over default Windows Phone apps like Maps. How do I get default Maps app back. I know that underlying system components are still there because Local Scout uses Bing Maps and not Nokia Maps app.
Thanks
john

hmm. i actually prefer the nokia products.
you could try to uninstall the nokia maps.
other than that, i do not see anywhere in the device to change that.

Lumia 920 battery life suddenly changed

Hi, everyone. I am a newbie here. I had my red 920 since 11/9 and it has been great until this Tuesday. Previously the battery was great and after full charge it usually showed battery life 1day or even longer. This Tuesday I used camera a lot. The handset did get warmer because of flash and focus assist lamp. After that night the battery darin rate became really fast. After one overnight charge 100% battery only shows 9hours and drain rate was like 10% per hour. Any one has suggestions why this occured suddently? Do I need to reset the phone to factory?
Thanks a lot

Hi
I had similar issue I went to Microsoft store,they didn't understand the problem.
they said background tasks, WiFi,location service etc. Everything was offline.
The issue started after December patch update.
The system keeps dropping signal very often and it tries to reconnect to 4G and LTE making battery drain, This is as per the Tech at Microsoft store...
Use wall charger for 3-4 hours. That helps. Also let the battery drain to less than 10% and charge , Turn of all your background tasks that helps...
No word from Nokia yet., Wireless charger doesn't work well.
Also when i tried logging in from Lumia 920 to post this message, the popup login on the sign in doesnt work. Also when you post the scrolling doesnt work really well like on the desktop. Not sure if its the site issue or IE10 issue
The Spell check for Lumia is still not fixed. it suggested Aluminia... can some mod from Nokia put in a request to fix this ?

Lumia 920: Stuttering Sound @ Nokia Tune

Hi Everyone, I am facing a very unique issue with my Lumia 920.. Stuttering sound for first few seconds at default Nokia Ringtone... changing the Ring Tone will reduce the stuttering little bit but it is not going away....
However Music doesn't feel any stuttering or probably I am unable to detect it.
Any suggestions!

have you tried performing a soft reset (pressing the volume down and power buttons held together until the phone vibrates)?

Whatsapp for Nokia Lumia 920

Hi, I have whatsapp installed on my Nokia Lumia 920, how do i get the notification to show up on my lock sreen?
Also how do i change the tones when receiving whatsapp message?
Thanks, Rich

Hi mate,
I presume the settings woul be inside the app for WhatsApp tones, however it would also pay to check if there are any relevant ringtones under Settings > Ringtones + Sounds.
As for the notification to show up on your lock screen, I'm unsure if Whatsapp would support it, but if it did, the place to look is in Settings > Lock screen, under the area Notifications. There is an option to choose which app to display detailed status, and also which apps to show quick status.

Lumia 920 - most backwardish experience ever

I shall vent my anger at Nokia.
Recently broke my trusted E6 and having no time for contemplation went for top of line Lumia 920.
Trying to use the THING have been the most confusing experience i have ever had with any device/system in my life.
xxx experience started instantly: No support for Ovi Suite, you can not sync your contacts unless you sign in to online account when phone is initalised. Ok, i got over it, mowing on.
Trying to make first call - this device is not a phone! There is no T9 style dial !!! No speed dial !!!
Ok, found Rap dialler, but it is not native and WP8 asks for additional confirmation before allowing the call, which is displayed in upper left corner - most inconvenient for single handed use. And it does not show missed calls - so i have to keep separete apps on screen for making calls and looking and missed one.
Tried to configure home screen .. there is no switching of them, you have to slide, which is way more inconvenient too fast/slow and icons end not where intended.
UI is written for/by aliens. I still have not figured out the confusing behaviour of back button - when it closes application and when goes back.
Mowing on - No onscreen toggles for turning wireless, BT and sound on/off.
Constantly missing calls because ringtone is turned off and it is not visible when on screen. Yes, there is TOGGLE (another app you download) which is far cry of what Symbian Belle had.
The last one made my blood boil: you need the app to send contact details to someone!!!
I pulled broken E6 from drawer and brought to service center. I can't wait to have it fixed and back in business.
You shall be warned - if you like E6 think twice before downgrading to new phone

Unfortunately I cannot help you with the fact that Widowsphone is totally different to Symbian and there is a huge change when you switch. I personally switched from an N8 to a Lumia 800 and then to a Lumia 920 and 820. Like you I found it very strange at first but 18 months down the line, I have adapted and now find it different but easier to use than Symbian in many ways. There are things that still annoy me but I now work around them and there are features that I now cannot live without.
Back to your gripes, I might be able to help with a few.
T9 or Qwerty, you do get used to it. The word prediction on the 920 is very good once you get used to it.
Missed calls and other notification are shown as icons on the lock screen and then as numbers on the tiles once you unlock.
The homescreen unfortunately is the way the UI is. Need to talk to Microsoft about that but again, you do get used to it.
For toggles, download an app called connectivity shortcuts.
To send a contact, goto People>Tap on the contact you want to share>3 dots>share contact>tick>select the sharing method you wish to use.

Lumia 920 / Problem with Store App

Right after I bought my Lumia 920, a added few applications (viber, instagram, etc.) using store app.
After few days, everytime I tried to open Store App, or even visit the market page using browser on my device, I got the same message:
''Service unavailable at the moment. Check again in a little while.''
My phone is totally blocked for downloading new Apps. I'm not able to, for example update ''What's Up'' App beacuse it's redirecting me automatically to Store. This haven't been changed for a while, about month or two. I even updated phone regulary once update was available, nothing changed after that. All other stuff is working perfectlly, so I'm not sure what could be the problem.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Is everything ok with your Microsoft account? You didn't change your password recently or anything like that? Try logging into your microsoft account just to make sure everything is ok.

Nokia Lumia 920 India Launch ! - Some Observations...

Hi,
Being a Nokia fan for years .. I decided to write this .. I hope people at the right level from Nokia see this.
We all know Nokia Lumia 920 has probably hit all the right spots with Users abroad and the best thing is they are loving it a lot. I probably would like to be one of them soon.
However I have certain concerns,
When Nokia launced Lumia in India people had high hopes including myself however one thing that I have always found going wrong is the 'PRICING' .. yes such insanely high pricing at launch .. why ? Look at the pricing of Lumia 800 at launch (around 33k) . Look at the pricing of Lumia 900 still (31k) ? .. Lumia 800 now sells around at the price of 19k !! - almost a 40% drop in price.
The basic thinking in the minds of people including me is 'Don't buy a Nokia phone immediately on launch !!'. Why can't this be changed ? - Yes everybody wants to earn profits but in a situation wherein you are more in search for Mindshare .. This does not make sense. Obviously I am no one to teach anybody anything but this is what I feel & what I have felt for years.
If I buy a Nokia Lumia 920 at launch only to find that after 3 months the pricing has come down by 3-5k .. I will not be a Happy Consumer.
Nokia - Launch Lumia 920 at a very competitive price (so that the likes of SGS3 & HTC 8x will feel ashamed) .. Arrive at a price & keep it steady for real long so that the initial adopters are happy & others come to know that Nokia's pricing is real good and will stay that way for long.
Nokia's Lumia are pretty good phones .. they never lag when compared to Android etc however they have not been well received by people here in India. The most common answer that I get is 'Bluetooth not there - can't transfer files' , 'Can't use memory card ' & 'Apps not available'.
Nokia - you have to change this mindset of people because with Windows Phone 8 these things are no longer hindrances ! .. especially Bluetooth & Micro-sd support.
I am expecting your Ads to have this .. be it on Radio or TV or Internet.
Can we have right people on the Job ? - Recently I went to Hypercity Mall (in Mumbai) (Nokia booth). I took in my hand a Lumia 510. I asked how much RAM ? .. to my surprise he answered 512 Mb .. and I was like What ? I asked him to recheck - still the same answer. He said we have confirmed. The phone actually comes with 256 Mb of RAM.
Now imagine what happens to a consumer who brought this phone from him ?
Nokia - Please get the right people at task for Nokia Lumia 920 & 820 because there you have got some real innovations like PureView, OIS, Wireless Charging etc. Ensure that users get the right demo of all the innovations. First impression will be the Last impression.
At Malls (without Nokia booths), the 2 phones Lumia 800 & Lumia 710 lonely guard the booths .. with rarely anybody there to explain about them. Just on the side of it I find Samsung's booth with all the latest flagships standing there & probably someone to explain about it - however Android needs no explanation these days will all aware about it (& even if not aware they know a phone with it is Cool!).
Nokia - Please set your own booths for Lumia (both WP8 & WP7) & assign one of your Guys per Booth. I really don't know the dynamics of setting up booth at a mall & the financial impact of it. All you need to do is differentiate your Lumia's from others.
Alternatively you can have a Lumia Van (or Lumia Vans) running around the City with all the possible Lumia's on it for doing Demo's. All Lumia's - since a person can come up to check a Lumia 510 too & not having a specific Lumia means Dissatisfaction for the user.
Nokia Lumia 920,820 & 620 are gem of a phones .. Hope everything is done right with them in a price sensitive market like India & I hope that Nokia you are listening to a User's opinion here.
Here's someone who wishes real good things for Nokia. Good luck with the launch of Nokia Lumia 920, 820 & 620. Desperately waiting !!

Hi slon!
Welcome to Nokia Forum!
Let me answer your question in the same manner you have presented it.
1. How can I configure networking option for individual application (it was standard option before, see N8)
- Can you tell me which particular application/s you are referring to? The phone prioritizes WLAN connection over 3G to ensure quality customer experience.
Example: Nokia Maps - when downloading map data, it would require you to use WLAN as phone would require high amount of data.
2. Where can I find the option like: Automatic, Always ask, WLAN only when using access to data connection
- These options are not available on the device. However, you can find some settings that are similar to what you are looking for:
Settings>Wifi>Tap on Advanced> you will have the following options:
Notify me when new networks are found
Automatically connect to Wi-Fi hotspots
Send information about Wi-Fi connections to help discover nearby Wi-Fi
Keep Wi-Fi on when the screen times out

Discovered cause of Battery Drain lumia 920/820

Hi,
I just registered to tell you following:
I discovered the culprit that is responsible for the "semi random" battery drain.
@Home my Lumia 820 "shines" with a good battery life.
@Work:
- without any additional Installed app
- no active background task (except standard entries: "extras+info" and Nokia Music)
- every (backround)sync disabled (mail, also xbox, music.....)
- display low
- disabled location service
- closing all apps with multiple clicks on back-button
- uninstalled skype
- disabled apps @ lockscreen
- battery saver on
- backup disabled
- nfc disabled
- microsoft account sync only 1x per day
- disabled roaming (my provider is a roaming monster :-) roams into networks of other providers).
- 2x fully discharged + fully charged + 12 hours on powersupply
- and every other suggested energysave option/action i could find on internet and here in forum -> except hardreset
With all above mentioned methods the battery still gets/got literally eaten away at work in IDLE.
I had it next to me with monitor off. Only checked once per hour and it died in ~8-11 hours. No call no message no nothing.
I was curious why it only happens at work: The difference of the network coverage is, that at home it is far more inferior. I have to search for a spot in my house where i can use it for calling somebody.
So Internet is not even an option (also no HSPA+ coverage throughout the village). Normally you would have less battery life at places with less connectivity. But not in that case.
I investigated further: on the way to work I use it for surfing ~50min - 1hour -> there i loose 7-9% of my battery. (very good result for driving with car => many connection losses)
As soon as I reach the city where the Lumia reaches the HSPA+ network it begins to drain veery fast.
HSPA+ needs much more power than UMTS and I guess normal HSPA!
I compared the behaviour with the Samsung Galaxy S3 (colleague's phone) and noticed a small but profound difference:
After you "wake" the S3 from idle it will show on the screen, that it uses UMTS and not HSPA/HSPA+... as soon as you start surfing or start an app that connects to the internet the S3 switches immediately to HSPA+. After a little time the Samsung switches back to UMTS.
The lumia behaves differently: It detects HSPA+ and uses it. Also in idle!?
I followed this obvious lead and wanted to disable HSPA/HSPA+ -> unfortunately it only lets you disable 3g as a whole (UMTS/HSPA) so I switched to 2G only.
While I am writing this my L820 is unplugged 6hours now and
after much heavier use than normal (mailing, surfing with 3g while driving 45min home [which dropped the charging-level multiple times faster than gaming!], 1h gaming, 10 minutes calling)
the remaining battery life is at 70% with estimated time remaining: 1day 7hours left (after writing the whole story it went up to 2days 4hours with 69%... but i guess thats because its idleing).
This behaviour is also the explanation why some people are affected and some aren't.
Summary of change: from initially 8hours idle and not even touching the phone -> to finally using it now with 70% after 6hours with 1day 7hours time remaining.
Additional info: I live in Austria (Europe; no kangaroos ;-)) --> so I have a Lumia 820 with the german firmware without the update, which was released in USA and Canada:
Revision: 1232.2109.1242.1001
So please implement a similar function like the Samsung S3 ... or just as a start: let us manually turn off UMTS, HSPA and HSPA+ separately! Surfing with 2g is no fun.
Sorry for the extensive and long story/facts ;-)
Regards
V4mp

I can confirm that my battery drain problem is related to LTE on my US Lumia 920, at home where signal is weak I get fantastic battery life, less than 2% drain an hour, lasts for well over a day with moderate usage. My work however is located in an LTE zone and as soon as I enter this area battery life becomes catastrophically bad, several times the phone has died on me before my shift even ends. Something like 15% drain per hour, sometimes worse., I pick up my phone and even though it has been completely idle for hours it is a bit warm to the touch. I have no idea what it is doing when it is just sitting there.
Trust me, I have tried all the tips from all the other users, none have worked. This is not a problem with background applications or some feature being switched on, I have tested this phone running bare bones no apps or a fully day on "battery saver" mode which seems to make no difference, the problem persists. The only way I can make it through the workday is if I put my phone into Airplane Mode, the drain then completely stops, again at less than 2% an hour.
I am amazingly frustrated by all this, my Lumia 900 never had this problem with LTE, I almost never gave the battery a second thought with my 900, but with the 920 I am constantly worried about being stuck with a dead phone, I have almost no apps installed on the phone because I am afraid of any additional drain on the battery. I have to put my phone in Airplane Mode if I plan on spending more than an hour in the civilized world, I am so unhappy with my experience and I really miss my Lumia 900. I really wish Nokia would acknowledge that this a problem with some 920 handsets, and it is a problem, we are all not suffering from some sort of mass delusion. I have spent weeks troubleshooting and trying to find the cause. I really don't know what to do at this point.

Nokia Lumia 920 email : how to do search on all em...

Hello all,
This is a feature i miss from my previous iphone 4.
I have multiple email accounts linked together (hotmail, 2 google accounts) on my lumia 920 email client app. I have set all email accounts to sync emails from past one month. However when i do a search for a particular keyword (eg: barbecue) , which might be present on one or all of the email accounts, probably on or before the one month time window, the email client can search only on the hotmail server and not on the google servers.
This was a feature i enjoyed with the iphone, in that it can search on all servers (linked) for the keyword I' looking for. Am I missing some setting ? or is it a limitation of the windows phone 8 email client ? or is it a limitation for nokia lumia's implementation of the windows phone 8 email client ?
Hope someone can help me out.
Thanks and Regards,
Kiran Antony

Hello all,
Wooowww.. I found the soluton on web..!!
http://www.wpcentral.com/quick-tip-gmail-settings-windows-phone-8

However, its slightly annoying that i've to sync all calendars and contacts in order get the mail client be able to connect to the server. A change in this behaviour is desired.!

Lumia 920 - internet sharing doesn't work: Connect...

Hello all,
I'm experiencing a serious problem with the lumia 920. It seems impossible to share my internet connection. Something I normally use for several hours a day. If this problem can't be fixed soon, ill be forced to swithc back to iphone or htc.
Problem description:
When turning "internet sharing" on:
Connection not shared - There is no cellular data connection to share right now. Check your cellular settings and signal, and try again.
Important remarks
Belgium - cellular provider is Mobistar
I can browse, sync email, etc over the provider's network ans send and receive MMS.
Provider does not block internet sharing. Have always used this.
OS Version 8.0.10211.204
Firmware revision: 1232.5957.1308.0002
Access point :
Nokia Access Point version:3.4.1.7 - db 2.0.0.100 - lib 1.2.0.7
The default access point provided in the Nokia Access Point app does not work: can't even browse.
Using a manually added APN:
Data type (default / LTE) tried both. Everything keeps working - except internet sharing...
APN pro.web.be (for professional subscribers)
MMS APN mms.be
MMSC address: https://mmsc.mobistar.be
What have i tried to remedy the situatiuon?
updated the Nokia Access Point app
changed language to spanisch using OTA update (silly, but read on a forum this might help)
soft reset of the phone (often!)
deleted the manually created access point
Hard reset of my phone
I'm interested, of course, in any tips to solve this serieus bug / issue / problem.
(my best guess is that Nokia tries to help their customers with the Access point app, but fails to do so).
Please, if any of you experience the same problem please respond to this post so we can get an idea about how big of a problem this is.

Hi,
I had the same problem. But I let it go after weeks of corresponding with Mobistar.
Yesterday I went to a Mobistar shop, the guy tried lots of thing I already tried (different apn's, ...).
Then he told me the it's a problem with business clients. They have to use the apn web.pro.be, where internet sharing doesn't work (he doesn't know why).
But, that if I call to Mobistar and ask to activate apn mworld.be on my telephone number, it should work.
Today I called Mobistar Business (you can find the helpdesk number on your invoices), asked to activate mworld.be to have internet sharing access on a windows phone.
Half an hour later, using mworld.be as apn i have internet access, and I can share my internet connection.
regards,
Stijn

Why my Lumia 920 takes shots in res. 720x1278 in...

why my Lumia 920 takes shots in resolution 720x1278 instead of 3553 x 2448 and I cannot find the way to change in the settings. Is it a bug?

Has nothing to do with Corporal_Hicks said, that is for auto-uploading and backup of photos that you have taken.
Are you sure you are not using the front facing camera but the back one? Try Resetting the Camera in the Settings under: Settings > Applications > Photos + Camera, and if that doesn't work, a soft reset (pressing the volume down and power buttons together at the same time until the phone vibrates).
Let us know how you get on.

How to create Playlists on Lumia 920

Its very annoy that i cannot create my own music playlist on lumia 920. can some one help me in creating my own playlists?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks Gary for your reply, But its all hell process. previously i have samsung galaxy phone its very easy to create playlists of songs that i like. Nokia or windows sucks..... i am getting all unwanted songs when i added songs to add now playing and worst thing is i cannot delete unwanted songs from the playlist. Its all mess. and the worst thing is the volume control it is same for music and ringtone, if we reduce the sound while listening to songs it reduces the volume of the phone ringtone which leads to missed calls.

Lumia 920 Developer Edition & Cyan update

Hello, I have the Lumia 920 Developer Edition and recently got the 8.1/Cyan update. Previously, it was running the latest 8.0 ROM version for the device:
RM-821
059R4H6
My carrier is T-Mobile USA and I was getting their HSPA+/LTE signals just fine with peak download speeds upwards of 11MB/s. After the 8.1/Cyan update I received last night I now only get regular HSPA signals and my download speeds peak at 1.5MB/s.
What changed? Will this be fixed?

I spoke with T-Mobile USA support yesterday and they are looking into it. Your idea that 4G might be disabled in the Cyan/8.1 version of this Nokia Product code might be true, but if so why would they do that other than by mistake? If that is the case I hope Microsoft/Nokia fixes it soon and sends the update OTA.
Another problem I am experiencing with this update is that the Internet Sharing feature cannot detect that my cellphone contract has tethering enabled (I've always had it because I need it for work) and it is sending me to the T-Mobile web page for upgrading my cellphone plan. The T-Mobile representative said that this shouldn't be happening and they will have it fixed soon.
This behavior makes me think that this ROM update is not "negotiating" with the T-Mobile USA network correctly. Whether it should be fixed on the carrier side or the Nokia side I don't know. However, if T-Mobile can fix the Internet Sharing feature without anything being done on the Nokia side I think they will also be able to allow this updated ROM to get 4G connections by making some small configuration changes on their side.
If they are able to do it I will definitely say that T-Mobile USA is the BEST carrier in this country. I already recommend it to everyone I know (unless coverage is an issue). I would recommend them even more strongly. I hope T-Mobile USA is reading this!!!
