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.

    Nokia cannot support software that it does not have available on its devices. We suggest reaching out to: Windows Phone Preview for Developer Support for further assistance. Thanks for your understanding.

  • Lumia 1020 - Poor Performance

    This issue is fairly intermittent. I've had the phone since the week it was released in the UK and it's always had pretty decent performance in day to day use (Same with all the Windows Phone devices i've owned over the years).
    However, recently my Lumia 1020 has a number of performance issues.
    I am currently running the developer preview, but i've done this for a long time and not had issues like this. I'm just wondering if people have experienced any of the below (There are other times it will just generally become unresponsive to input, these are just a selection fo them).
    I'm going to wipe the phone today, but thought i'd check in case others are having the same problems. I don't think it's a hardware fault, but it does seem like some sort of background task is taking up resources. I've tried removing any apps I don't NEED to use on a daily basis but it still has the problem.
    I know i'm running developer preview...So I'm not moaning about the performance of my phone here (Although some builds through the dev preview ARE final code as far as I know), I just want to see if anybody has experienced the same problems and hopefully fix them.
    Scrolling through the start screen tiles are slow to show their contents. Sometimes the icons take 10 seconds to load. And when I move from the top of the start screen to the bottom fairly quickly, I will sometimes just end up with a black void (The Arrow at the bottom to move to the Apps list is visible.
    Getting into my camera roll from the Nokia Camera OR Nokia Camera Beta apps can sometimes be excruciatingly slow. I'm not talking a little annoying, but put down your phone and go get a coffee whilst it loads. It generally makes WP look bad if i'm trying to show somebody a picture I just took.
    Sometimes i'll tap a letter in the All Apps list, and the phone will just lock up for 10-20 seconds before showing the list of letters.
    Returning to the start screen sometimes shows "Loading..." or "Resuming..." for a long time (IMO it shouldn't do this at all, and never has in the past)
    Loading the camera app, or apps in general can take a painfully long time. Sometimes with apps like Skype when the phone eventually becomes responsive again the app crashes.

    I've tried that but it doesn't seem to help. I'm pretty sure when scrolling through the start screen (Except maybe right after the phone has started up) the live tiles should be instantly visible.
    I just got the Cyan update this morning, which I think puts me on the current latest stable release, as far as I know. I'm going to try doing a full reset on the phone (Should still keep me on the dev preview build w/ Cyan I believe?)
    Since getting the Cyan update, it hasn't made a difference.
    I am going to try a full reset of the phone, and if it's still performing this way i'll use the recovery tool from Nokia to roll back to the latest "retail" build. I'll lose Cortana until the UK 1020's get Win 8.1 Update 1 but it could fix my problems perhaps.

  • 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.

  • Nokia Lumia 1020 power consumption

    Hello,
    On 5th of October 2013 I bought from Vodafone Romania a Nokia Lumia 1020. OS version: 8.0.10328.78. Firmware revision number: 3049.0000.1330.1001. Manufacter Name: RM-875_eu_hungary_298.
    I'm syncing Microsoft Account daily (contacts only, no e-mail), one Outlook Exchange account every 15 minutes, one Google account every 30 minutes and one Yahoo! Mail account every hour.
    I have also configured Twitter account, Facebook account and Nokia account. The Facebook application (the one developed by Microsoft) has notifications turned off. For Twitter I'm using Rowi application and this one also has notifications turned off. On home screen I have the Me tile which displays notifications when there are new items on Facebook and Twitter.
    The Facebook settings are:
    - Notifications: No notifications
    - Lock screen: Off
    - Location : Off
    - Enable shake to refresh: On
    In Settings > Applications > background tasks > advanced I have:
    - AccuWeather
    - Battery Performance
    - extras+info
    - Facebook
    - HERE Drive+
    - Nokia Care.
    I never leave applications running in background (the multitasking list is empty).
    I'm on 3G. My data plan does not allow me to use 4G.
    For the most part of the day I'm at work, in the office, and I'm not using my phone. It stays idle. Glance screen is configured on Peak so my phone's display is turned off most of the time.
    I have WiFi turned off, NFC turned OFF, location turned off, XBOX syncronization turned off, music and videos syncronization turned off, find my phone turned off. 
    Today, I have received no phone calls, I have not dialed anybody, and my phone stayed on my desk for almost 9 hours. I did not take any pictures with my phone today.
    And yet, for the most part of the day (from 09:00 AM to 07:00 PM), the Battery Performance application showed a steady discharge rate of 2% per hour.
    Is this normal for a new Nokia Lumia 1020 in those given circumstances?
    Thank you.
    Cosmin Petrenciuc

    Totally normal mate, you should get a wireless charger + shell and use your phone more and enjoy it between placing it on the charging plate on your desk!!

  • Lumia 1020 isn't recognized by Windows 8.1

    I just installed Windows 8.1 and when I plug in my Lumia 1020, it isn't recognized.  In Device Manager it shows up under "Other Devices" as "Nokia Lumia 909 (RM-877)".  I understand that the 909 and the 1020 are the same so no mystery there.  When I right click and tell it to update the drivers, it says that there are no drivers available.
    I read in another thread where someone was having a similar problem and powering off the phone and then reconnecting it via the USB cable seemed to cause it to be recognized.  I am not having any success doing that.  I have gone through the steps listed by Microsoft also without any luck.
    I also have a laptop running Windows 7 and my phone is recognized by that computer without any trouble at all.  So, I don't *think* it is a hardware problem.
    I went so far as to re-install my OS.  I patched it, updated the BIOS and didn't connect or install anything else (besides the patches) before connecting my 1020.  Once I hooked up my 1020, still nothing.  Can't update drivers from the internet or from the downloaded drivers.
    What is going on?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Look at other devices that are not loaded correctly.  Not the USB
    If your operating system did not come with Windows Media Player, install the Media Feature Pack for your version of the operating system.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/download-windows-media-player
    Use the USB cable that came with the phone.
    Connect the phone to the PC.  Turn it all the way off, hold power button and slide the screen down. The phone will turn back on and it will be detected, drivers should load.
    You should see it in windows explorer. It should install in 'portable devices' in the device manager.

  • Lumia 1020 is not seen by Windows 7 64-bit

    Hi,
    When I connect my new Nokai Lumia 1020 to USB, my PC (which is Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate) is not able to install the correct driver.
    When I connec the mobile, Windows installs driver for a device named as "RM-875|Nokia 909". It then says "
    There is no driver selected for the device information set or element."
    I have then updated the mobile's software to the recent version, but with no luck.
    I searched Nokia site for a driver and found nothing.
    How can I explore Lumia 1020 in Windows 7 64-bit? What can I do to troubleshoot this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Lumia 1020 auto focus in video when used in apps.....

    Hi. If I want to take a video clip up close using the Nokia Lumia 1020 on WhatsApp or Skype, the auto focus just will not fire. It stays zoomed out, and is only useful for taking clips really far away. This is incredibly frustrating given that I bought this phone for the camera. 
    Is this a bug in the phone? or is my phone broken?
    Auto focus only works when using the actual camera app. Skype and WhatsApp seem to ignore the "auto focus" setting that I've turned on in the default camera app and the Nokia Camera app...
    Really disappointed.  
    Jez

    not sure as i haven't used those apps myslef, but for example, if you use Vine, there is a setting in there that allows you to lock the focus. it appears to me that auto-focus isn't automatically enabled / enabled at all in certain apps. you will need to contact the developers of the apps themselves for further feedback, as this is a user to user forum only for Nokia products and services.

I am really disappointed and getting forstrated by Nokia...
    what can I do?

    Hello, victovic2000.
    Thank you for posting and welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions. 
    Sorry for the inconvenience it is causing you. By the way, how was the phone now? Is it still doing the same thing? Is it happening to the default camera only or same with the other camera app? Did something happen to your phone prior to the issue? Is your phone's software up-to-date?
    You may check if there's an available software update for your phone by going to Settings > Phone updates. Note that a stable internet connection is needed. We encourage you to use Wi-Fi instead. You may also consider doing a 'full reset' by going to Settings > About > Reset your phone. Make sure to backup your files to avoid data loss. Here's how: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/how-to/wp8/basics/back-up-my-stuff.

  • Nokia Lumia 1020 with three hot pixels on the CCD....

    Okay, i have a two weeks old brand new Lumia 1020 and noticed that whenever i took a photo or record a video, i get an L-shape of three hot/bright pixels somewhere in the middle of the photos or videos themselves, which could mean these hot pixels are burned on the camera's CCD directly. I can also see them live on the Lumia's screen, though if i zoom in on the live view passed a certain level towards the maximum zoom, they vanish. But, on most zoom levels and of course when no zoom is used, i can see them clearly, unfortunately...
    The attached image shows these three L-positioned bright pixels...
    Also, check the video below for better understanding; i'm just shooting the black plastic frames in-between my two monitors, to get a dark area for easily spotting the three bright pixels. When i zoom in and out, you can see that passed a certain zoom point, they dissapear and reappear. Also, when i move the camera around, they follow along the movement. The video is a cropped-down version of the 1:1 1920x1080 original version, just to get a smaller file size: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g9zfcy3vivb1nku/HotPixel​s.mov
    So, i'm wondering...
    Is this serious hardware mulfanction problem valid for a phone replacement, or this is something that warranty may not cover ?!
    Thanks...

    It's hardly deep hacking. The repair facility opens the phone, takes out the camera module and puts a new one in.
    Your warranty does not entitle you to a full replacement unless the phone is not repairable (in genral) and this should be a painless and easy fix.
    While in some countries you would be entitled to a new phone if a fault is detected shortly after buying the device you said you bought it a week ago which would generally be too much time gone by for that so I anm pretty sure it's a repair.

  • Lumia 1020; app update error 80073cf6 after cyan ...

    I updated my Lumia 1020 to the Nokia Cyan firmware today. Most of the app updates went fine but now some updates from the store are stuck with the error code 80073cf6.
    I tried restarting the phone but that does not help. Any ideas?

    The "error code 80073cf6" in Windows 8 on PC's suggest trouble in the store cache on the device, and there are procedures to reset and clear this on a PC - but this is only possible on Windows Phone by performing a factory reset.
    I hesitate to advice a factory reset of the phone since it is a lot of work, and may not solve the problem! Also, since this is trouble between the Store and the phone, it may be solved in an update of the phone or the store later.
    I would sit tight for a while (days or weeks ...) unless the apps are important here and now, and keep an eye on new updates to the phone, and retry the download once in a while, but it's your decision whether to try a factory reset.
    Microsoft have information of devices failing to download apps from the store, and if your specific trouble affect enough people, changes are likely to be made (days or weeks ...)

  • Nokia WH 930 and Lumia 1020

    i would assume that they would work too. i have WH-920 and all the controls work fine with my Lumia 1020. have you checked that you are up to date with the latest firmware for your device and that you are up to date with the latest nokia system app updates frmo the Store? also try performing a soft reset.

  • Lumia 1020 locks up

    Bought the phone on 8/23/2014 - it started locking up immediately.
    Sent the phone to repair on 10/19/2014.
    Returned on 10/27/2014, but the repair ticket did not indicate they did anything to it.
    Still locks up, so I tried to send it back for repair, but they now claim it is no longer under warranty.
    Is this how Nokia stands behind their products? As soon as their is an issue, they drop it off warranty?
    I would love to just throw the damn thing away, but it is under a two year telephone contract.
    So I go to the webiste to try to get assistance with what has now become a somewhat desperate issue.
    No phone contact info, no chat support, no help whatsoever.
    Am i just screwed for buying Nokia?
