Glance Screen for Lumia 625

Hello. I just bought this monster phone, the Lumia 625. I'm kinda wondering why it does not have the glance screen on it? Is it available for installation?

Why is it so crucial?
Well, as far as I know any other mobile phone manufacturer doesn't have that feature so that's really setting those Lumia phones apart from other phone models, whether it's iPhone or Android.
I'm almost happy with my Lumia 930 and Icon but there are two mistakes Nokia did when they released those models:
1) glance is missing. OK, it would've costed more money to order those kind of displays from the subcontractor but it sure would've been worth every penny even though the phone would've been more expensive. Just look at the prices of iPhone 6. Just would've had to set the price below iPhone (to gain more market share within global mobile phone market) and advertise the glance. That's a brilliant feature and I miss it. But like they say "minimum effort, maximum gain"...
2) 41MP camera and xenon flash. Should've Lumia 930 been equipped with the similar camera & flash & glance like Lumia 1020, it would've been the greatest phone Nokia has ever released. Bigger display, quad-core processor etc. compared to Lumia 1020.
I sincerely hope Microsoft would combine all those aforementioned great features in one of them future phone models. Until then, IMO Lumia 1020 is the best phone Nokia/Microsoft released. 41MP camera, xenon flash, glance and the one of the easiest phone models to replace the screen/display if it gets broken

  • Black Update for Lumia 625

    Could someone help me? I have a Lumia 625 and I wanted to update it to Lumia Black. I always look at this website (http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/wp8-software-update/wp8-availability-in-asia-pac... to check tha availability of the update. I'm from the Philippines and the website says Black update is already available in Lumia 625 but I check for updates in the Settings and it just says: "Your phone is up to date. I bought the phone from UAE. What could be the problem with my phone? Please help me.

    @Abi99 Good news! I think I got the update via the Nokia Software Recovery Tool because I'm so curious about the program when I last checked my product code. It says that I can install the update 3056.40000.1349.2001 ( I'm sorry I didn't took a screenshot of it from my computer because of my excitement) I followed the instructions and it started downloading . It took almost an hour before it completed the download. My phone started rebooting and then the Nokia logo was shown (with a red background and a status bar) so I thought it is already installing the update to my phone. It took 20 minutes to install. Again it rebooted and started like normal. My apps were wiped-out by the update. The initial setup also appeared (thank God I had a backup on the cloud). I went to the Settings>extras+info and to my surprise, it shows that it already runs Black update. Did I just did the right thing to update it via Nokia Software Recovery Tool?
    (I'm really sorry that I wrote a lengthy explanation)

  • Lumia Denim available for Lumia 625 in Sri Lanka L...

    My Lumia 625 is not updating to the latest Lumia Denim. It's currently on Lumia cyan.

Please resovle. Thank you

    In the Software Recovery Tool, what is your 7-letter code (Product Code: 059…)? No Windows computer or USB: The same code is printed on your phone. That code determines your firmware variant which determines your current version. We can check together what is up with your variant, only with that code.

  • Lost Outlook icon on screen for Lumia 800

    'Outlook'' icon is deleted from main screen. It is also deleted from icon list. All Outlook account data is still in Settings. How to get back Outlook icon on main screen?

    Hi kaspars31
    You can try to perform a reset on the phone by going to Settings > Abount > Reset. This reset will delete every data that you have on the phone and restore the default settings of the handset. After performing the reset, set up your Outlook account again and check if you will able to see the "Outlook" on your phone.
    Alternatively you can use Zune software to update/restore the software of your Nokia Lumia 800. Zune software can be downloaded here .

    Thanks :)

    Hi LuzoApps,
    Based on your description, I see that your Lumia 625 OS is Windows Phone 8.1, but your computer OS is windows 7 home premimum SP1, then you can not install Windows phone 8.0 SDK or developing Windows Phone 8.1 on your computer. So you
    can not register your Lumia 625 for Windows Phone 8.0 or Windows Phone 8.1 development.
    For more information, please try to check system requirements for the Windows Phone 8.0:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/uk_faculty_connection/archive/2012/11/02/windows-phone-8-sdk-requirements.aspx .
    Besides, please also try to check the following article about how to register our phone for Windows Phone development and how to troubleshoot the registration:

  • Replace screen on Lumia 500?

    Lumia 500, 800 and 900 series looks kinda similar and I am wonderig if they perhaps have the same monitor?
    The glass is cracked on my Lumia 500 and I am trying to get a replacement screen for the phone. I guess the display and the glass is one piece, so I will have to replace both?
    I can't find a replacement screen for Lumia 500 on Ebay. It seems hard to get spare parts for the Lumia phones...

    There is no such thing as a Lumia 500. Maybe you mean the 520?

  • Lumia 625 glance screen

    When i have bought nokia Lumia 625 it comes with Lumia amber update. And now i have updated to Lumia black update. In my Lumia 625 no glance screen before black update or after black update.

    It cannot be prevented. The phone does not have the hardware required for the feature to work.

  • Glance screen update for lumia 520

    Why will 520 not get glance screen update..? Im aware tat both 720 n 520 chip set ram everything is same.. But y shld 520 users miss it?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I was told that the type of screen used on the 520 wasn't compatible with glance screen which could make sense as the screen is of noticeably lower quality than the one on the 620 and 720. So perhaps it wasn't possible to add that feature without it being a massive battery drainer.
    I don't think they've withheld the feature just to make you buy a better model.

  • Lumia 730 wifi issues and glance screen option

    Hello Champs
    I am having issues with wifi.
    Though the wifi is connected, i was not able to use internet either browse / apps.
    The wifi only works then, need to off and on.
    This is happening right from the start of purchase. 
    Sometimes i use to soft reset and use, it works fine for the halfday and there goes issue again.
    Previously i was using Lumia 720, and upgraded to 730 due to dual sim, with the same wifi router at home and at office.
    Could you please help here.
    Also why there is no Glance Screen option in Lumia 730.
    Why Why...lumia devices(hardware) differ from one device to other devices though its a same combinaiton of Hardware + Software.
    Regards, Siraj.

  • Lumia 625 "hangs" for 10-15 minutes and then resta...

    Hi,
    Just purchased a new Nokia Lumia 625 on 27 August 2013. From the afternoon of 28th the phone would hang and no activity can be performed on it. After about 10-15 minutes it will start by showing NOKIA -> Windows Phone -> normal screen. This has happened four times since then. My concerns:
    1. How do I prevent it from "hanging"?
    2. How do I restart it when it hangs?
    3. Unable to remove the battery so as to allow it to reboot as the batteries are screwed to the body. By removing the battery it should be easier to reboot the phone.
    4. Surprised at this behaviour within 48 hours of purchase.
    I shall appreciate a solution for this issue.
    Thanking you in anticipation.
    Regards,
    Rajiv K Khandelwal

    I think its a common problem with lumia 625.
    Same experience for me on a new phone brought in amazon.com.
    Same day 10-15 times hanged and had issue with even restart. Screen gets dead and it switch off as it wish .
    Night phone was on with full charge morning i saw it was switched off.
    The worst part is replace did not happen in nokia care as it was purchased from net .
    This means they dont support / replace if its purchased from other sources.
    I was really dissaponted with quality and performance of product from nokia.
    Better go for andriod device where atleast all basic things works. Micromax phones are far far far better than this.
    I belive windows still in the reboot and restart mode, please come out of it and give some simple and working product.
