Lumia 1020 Screen issue

Not totally sure how to explain this...
When the phone is at the lock screen, showing the clock on a BLACK background where the background is back lit. If I am in the Dark so theres no light source to glare off the screen, I can see what look like delamination under the screen, when I first got the phone 2 weeks ago there where 2 of these areas on the top right of the screen, there are now 4 areas.
I am not sure if its something to worry about or ignore, I could imagine if I was watching a video on a night flight or in the dark it would be annoying but it only seems to be visible when the screen displays black, you cant see it when the screen is off or in any other colour, to me it seems like a manufactuering defect on the screen but I have seen anyone else complain of this issue.
Any one else seen or heard of this issue?
Solved!

Lumia 1020 SMS Issue.

Been having issues for a few months now and haven't been able to find any solutions online. I'm having an issue where I can not send messages to certain numbers and I am just receiving the "Can't send" message as if I had no signal. What's even more confusing is that I have no issue receiving messages from these numbers, I am just incapable of replying. Currently this is only affecting a few contacts, but obviously this is an extremely annoying issue. If you have any advice or tips to solve this issue I would greatly appreciate it. Oh and I've just carried out all possible updates and still the problem persists.
-Thanks for taking the time to read this, MuirC

Hi MuirC,
We appreciate your effort in posting your concern on the forum. By the way, are you still experiencing the SMS issue? If yes, have you tried using another SIM card if it makes any difference? Make sure to use the original Micro SIM and not the modified one. You may also try checking this Nokia Lumia 1020 - Troubleshooter for a possible resolution. Any update is very much appreciated.

Lumia 1020 focus issue

Hi there,
Recently my Lumia 1020 struggles to focus unless there is a lot of light - it especially struggles with close or distant objects. Medium distance around 2 meters away in a lot of light seems to be the only conditions where the autofocus can nail it in one go. What is worse, the manual focus seems to have stopped working.
I am on Nokia Camera v 4.5.1.7 and have the Black update.
As someone who keeps promoting the Lumia phones to people I know, this flaw is deeply embarrassing when I try to show off the camera. And as the camera was the primary reason why I bought the 1020, this is also very frustrating.
Please help.
Thanks.
ps. I've done a factory reset twice already on my phone to resolve various issues and I've had to send my phone back to the factory once because of an issue with the speakers so I'm afraid if I have to reset my phone again, it will put me off this product for life.

hi mate if it doesn't vibrate this would point to a hardware issue possibly. in this case i would check that i am up to date with the latest firmware along with the latest Nokia system app updates from the store, and try performing a soft reset. failing that, a hard reset, and then nokia Care if still no luck.

Lumia 800: Screen Issues

Hello,
I seem to have a faulty device, and wish to confirm it. Two times now, I have noticed an artifact, where part of the screen on the left gets chipped off and appears on the right instead. This happens only for a moment or so, but obviously points to a hardware or software issue. I wonder if anybody else has this issue, and whether I should invoke my warranty in this case.
Thanks

The same for me and my friend, both with nokia Lumia 800.
The part of image appear at the right side.... and later come back to normal.

Lumia 720 screen issue

Does nokia care change my Lumia 720 screen

Hi, you're at MS/Nokias user to user forums and you're giving little on what's your problem other than you ask if Nokia care will replace your screen.
If it's within the warranty period and it's a warranty case they will replace the screen free if needed.
If its out of warranty and/or you have caused the screen to malfunction or break by dropping it etc, you will have to pay for the replacement screen/repairs.
A Nokia care point will however be able to answer you on this question.
Good luck!

If this isn't caused by you misusing your device I can't see why this shouldn't be covered by the warranty. It's clearly something wrong with it.
I would bring it to a care point straight away!

Nokia Lumia 1020 screen doesn't light up when i re...

title says it all, and no I will not do a reset on it so don't even suggest that.

Any screen protector or case in use, that may disturb the proximity sensor?
Is the screen otherwise performing as it should during and after a phone call?
A soft reset is advisable whenever the phone act up, and can be performed without losing data. Press and hold the volume down and power key simultaneously until the phone vibrates and restart.
We are running out of options to avoid the factory reset ...

Lumia 1020 screen broke after a short drop

warranty won't cover it because it's physical damage
where do i go to get a screen replacement? I currently live in BC,Canada.

hi mate,
you can either stay with your Nokia Care point or consult local phone repair shops. those are your only options, but i would recommend Nokia Care as they do a great job.

Lumia 1020 lock screen problem

Have you tried a soft reset ? Press and hold both the Volume Down and Power key for 15 seconds. After 15 seconds, the display will turn off and the phone will vibrate and restart.

Black spot on Top center of screen Lumia 1020

I purchased Lumia 1020 few days back and I found in dark rooms a block spot appear on top center of screen in dark room when glance screen is on. Also I want to knwo is there any update coming in India. I already have win 8.1 in my device.
Thanks in advance,

Hi, vik4290. Glad to see your post here. What exactly happens to your phone prior to this? Is it also visible when the phone is turned off?
Try adjusting the Brightness & the Colour profile by going to Settings > display. You may also check if the phone's system settings are updated: Settings > Applications > store > check for updates.
Let us know how it will go.

Lumia 1020 Freezes, Battery Heating Up, OS Crashes...

Hi there everyone, this is my first post here, I hope I can get some help from you guys regarding my problem with my lovely Lumia 1020.
10 days ago, I received my Lumia 1020 ( it was a gift from a friend from Norway), I live in Iraq. So warranty isn't provided here cause I went to Nokia Care in my country, they checked the IMEI and they told me that this phone wasn't imported by them, so no warranty is provided for it.
Once I powered up my phone, completed settings, it checked for an update and asked me to download it. And sure I did download it at once!. Kept updating until it reached the latest Lumia Cyan Update. Checked and saw I have a WP 8.1 phone.
Took some photos, here and there, everything was going good. Plugged in the charger to charge my phone. Then an hour later I went to check the charge and I was surprised to see my lovely Lumia 1020 heating up like crazy!!! .. I'm talking about severe heating, not a normal one due to charging.
Plugged out the phone from the charger ( original Nokia charger provided with the original box ), and I tried to unlock it, but no way! it doesn't respond to anything at all, Glance screen was stuck at the time of an hour ago. Quickly opened my laptop and googled the issue and did a soft reset at once. Then put the mobile in front of the air conditioner until it cooled down. Time/Date was reset ( very annoying ) but everything was normal ever since until at some random time, the phone freezes. Sometimes it doesn't heat up, I wait for 5 minutes or so and the phone reboots by itself. But there are times that the phone is stuck for hours ( no heat though ) so I have to soft reset it manually. And there are times when the phone freezes and heats up like crazy and I soft reset it on purpose being afraid that something might happen to the phone.
Googled everywhere, tried everything: Replaced charger, Replaced SIM card, Tried Airplane mode, Factory Reset, Nokia Software Recovery, Disabling Background apps, Disabling/Enabling Location w/wo NFC, Deleting FB & Skype, Disabling Glance & Double Tap to wake, Downgrading to WP 8 ( both Amber & Cyan via Nokia Care Suit ), ... etc everything software related has been tried. And the phone still freezes randomly. Which leads me to say that it's definitely a hardware defect that is causing these issues as my friend has the exact phone, everything enabled, and not a single freeze.
I'm desperate here, if anyone of you could give me an advice, I would be thankful.
Thanks and sorry for the long post!

I'm sorry to hear about your troubles with it.
As you mentioned here, you've done everything that can be done to your phone software wise, and it still plays up.
And as you further mentioned, it's related to hardware failure.
As your device is not covered by warranty in Iraq, you will either have to pay for the repairs down there or send it back to your friend in Norway who can then send it in for warranty repair/replacement.

Lumia 1020 doesn't focus up close (macro)

According to the specs, the Lumia 1020 should be able to auto-focus as close as 15cm. However, my phone consistently has trouble focusing that close. Typically, if the subject is between 15cm and 25cm away and I hold down the shutter half-way to focus, or touch the screen on a focus point, the focusing system temporarily focuses, but then immediately "pops back" out of focus.
SOMETIMES I can focus up to around 15cm, but it's not consistent and so I've been finding it difficult to get macro shots in general with the phone.
Has anybody else had this problem, or is possibly just an issue with my specific phone?

I've never managed to get as close as 15cm, I've so far been standing further back and then digitally zooming in. if you have bright light then the technique works exceptionally well
some of the bods have been getting some great shots using the manual focus, have a look at this thread from a while back
http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Pictures-and-Videos/Lumia-1020-impressive-camera/m-p/2124983#M10511
I've had the phone since the 17th Sept. and it's a great camera but I think it needs a different mindset, it's not as simple as just point and shoot. One thing that struck me on using it after an SLA is how wide angle the lens is, it's like shooting with a permanently attached wide angle lens, and I think this is the cause of the problem.
I think I need two extra elements to make it into an awesome macro machine.
1) something like this http://www.olloclip.com/ to refocus the lens onto a small area. (if you couple this with the 1020 camera, it would be amazing not far off a small microscope)
2) an app that will save your manual setting as a list of favorites so you don't have to constantly set them back up each time you turn the camera on.

Lumia 1020 touchscreen registering ghost input (an...

I was looking to get some guidance on whether the issues I'm experiencing with my Lumia 1020 are known hardware/software issues, or indications of defective hardware that I should get replaced under warranty. My Lumia 1020 is an AT&T phone in the US.
The main issue I'm having is, on occasion, the touch screen seems to behave erratically, registering input even when I am not touching the screen. I can't seem to figure out how to reproduce it reliably, but it seems to happen at least once every day. The phone seems to think something is touching parts of the screen, as it launches apps, types garbage on the keyboard, bounces the lock screen up and down, etc, all without me even touching the device. And of course, when I do touch the device, it either doesn't register, or 'fights' with the ghost input, and basically doesn't do what I want.
The only partial solution I've found is to try and turn the screen off and on a few times (just pressing the power button normally -- not doing a full reboot). Sometimes this works, and sometimes it doesn't. But overall, this issue is extremely irritating and problematic. Has anyone else experienced something similar?
Now, in addition to the touch screen issues, I continually find that hte battery indicator is not accurate, even after a full charge. It regularly reports significantly lower than what I think the actual charge is, and when I reboot the device, it seems to correct itself. For example, the phone is plugged in and charging over night, but when I unplug it in the morning, after a few minutes it shows it is down to less than 20%. I reboot the device, and sure enough, it's back up to 97%. Known software issue, or do I have a bad device?

Hello guys, I also would like to report a problem with my Lumia's 1020 touch screen. The problem occurred the very first day I started using it. Please see the attached images for reference.
1) Usually, the first row of live tiles starts right under the time that is located at the right upper corner
2) After the problem appeared, all the tiles are shifted down by approx. half size of the smallest tile. I can drag all the tiles back to its normal state, but when I press back button ("<-", located at the bottom) to get back to a default arrangement of tiles, I again get back to the situation where all tiles are shifted (please, see pictures).
3) My phone software versions are on a separate print-screen.
4) Software restart didn't help and I have these gut feelings that the issue is on a hardware side of the Lumia 1020, probably digitizer's firmware.
5) I had similar issues with Lumia 920 which I had to return due to its touch screen problems.
I would be very glad if this issue could be resolved for me.

Lumia 1020 Windows Key bug after Denim Update

Hey guys,
I recently updated my WP 8.1 OS to Lumia Denim. Looks like there is a serious bug in the update. Sometimes when an application is open like messages, whatsapp, cortana search and then when you click on windows button, instead of going to home screen the application is refreshing. Its really annoying. Please let me know how to fix this issue.
I have recorded the issue I am facing. Please check the video here.

Hi, ssckm1087. Welcome to Microsoft Mobile Community. Have you tried checking if there is any update on the phone's system apps? You may try doing it by going to Store > ... > settings > check for updates. If this did not work, try performing the workarounds provided on this link: My phone does not work or respond as expected. Let us the outcome. Link is intended in the Philippines but it still helpful.

Lumia 1020 - No Speed Dial

Having just moved from Android SGS4 I am shocked to find that the Lumia 1020 (possibly the most expensive mobile phone on the market) does not have speed dial under the phone pad keys. Forget about the inconvenient pinning of a contact to the home window which requires nine tiles to replicate the keypad version found on almost every other phone in existence! If the message bank number can be stored under key 1 then there is no reason why up to nine other numbers could not be stored under the other keys. IMO this is a serious failure with this phone especially for a business user. I hope that a software update might fix this issue.

There is none you pin a contact to home screen from people hub,or you can try this app .
