Nokia lumia 920 slow charging

Hi,
I bought a new micro usb cable to have as a spare to charge my lumia 920 but have found that any micro USB cable that I use apart from the one that came with the phone will take forever to charge. The original cable when plugged into the mains will charge the battery from 10% to 100% in under 3 hours, any other cable can take up to 12 hours.
I have a battery app installed that tells me the % of charge per hour. The original charger gives me about 38% an hour while my other cables only manage 8% an hour.
anybody else experience these problems while using other cables?

Hello, all!
Slow charging is good to preserve the baterry. If you must recharge the battery fast, use the Nokia´s recharger, but if you leave the cell recharging the entire night, use de slowest as possible recharging mode. It´ll recharge the entire battery anyway and will preserve it for more and more future recharging.
Other tip: use the battery to the extreme end, until the GOODBAY message and recharge it for more 30 minutes, after the full bettery icon on display. It´ll preserve the baterry´s life for much more time and rechargings.
Thanks.

  • 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

  • Lumia 920 Wireless Charging not working - Known is...

    I have a Nokia Lumia 920, which works perfectly fine. I haven't had some of the other issues reported here with freezing, apps, etc.
    I have a Nokia charging plate and I've found that no matter what I do the wireless charging plate absolutely does not work. I've turned off Bluetooth, Wifi, turned ON Battery Saver, disabled every background app, even hard reset my phone and tried charging it from stock. The wireless charging plate doesn't even maintain the current battery state - The battery slowly drains hour by hour. I've also tried placing the phone on the charging plate in different positions to ensure it's making good contact. Nothing works.
    Is this a known issue? Is there anyway to identify a defective phone? Is there a possible fix for this? I love my Lumia, but this a killer feature I would expect to work consistently.

    OK, this thread is odd. My charging plate works fine. It has a side with a little ring and Nokia in it, and the other side has an oval of rubber around the periphery with the usual conformance writing on it that side Qi, CE, don't throw it on the trash icon,  Mine works just fine with the Oval down, and the Nokia in the ring up. Is that not what others see?
    I can turn it over, but it is touchy as to whether I can get the light to come on. Usually not. I assumed, initially, the oval went down to keep it from sliding around on the table, and Nokia went up because they want you to know it's Nokia. Has always worked that way. I wish there was a larger rubber something on the 'top' as the phone can slide and spin more than I think it should.
    For what it is worth, I much prefer the charge stand, but the plate is more convenient if I am going to travel somewhere for a while. Couple of days, just charger, week or so, might bring the plate for the hotel.
    BTW, I do get the connect noise when putting it on the charge plate. Sometimes it can take a second otr two. When I take it off, it can take several seconds to get the disconnect noise and the charging icon to go away. If I put it back on the charger before the disconnect noise and the charge icon goes away, it does NOT make a connect noise, though the light comes on. The light will also eventually go off at full charge.

  • Lumia 920 Wireless Charging Plate...where do i get...

    Hi,
    Just traded my iPhone 5 (Had every single iPhone since the Original) for the Nokia Lumia 920.
    I got it from Best Buy and I must say Im really impressed with the Lumia 920.
    Still learning the features on my new phone but im liking it so far.
    My question is where do i sign up to get the free Wireless charger?

    I believe the free wireless charger was only available from some network carriers only and not universally across the U.S. or other countries and territories. If you are unable to find a retailer of the charging plates, you can click the Nokia Support link at the bottom of this page to chat online with a Nokia representative directly, who will be able to point you in the right direction.

  • Nokia Lumia 920: problems when playing videos on p...

    Dear All,
    thanks to this great support community website, I will b hopefully able to solve my prob.
    Description:
    my nokia lumia 920 has got the latest Win8 firmware and Lumia Amber update ( with 3 UK) but when trying to play videos on my win 7 pc's,
    the actual video is corrupt or does not work properly,ie sound and slow immage processing.
    I have the latest win 7 codec pack on pc and tried apps like VLC,ITunes,Windows Media Player,Nokia Media Player,Nokia Video Converter and others without success......not sure what's wrong but video were ok with my old Nokia N8......perhaps the format is not recognised??????
    The fact that the pc plays the video means that format is not an issue but the quality is just terrible,video and sound.
    I used both the WP desktop app to sync and dragging and/or dropping file with no difference at all.
    DESPERATE,PLS HELP!!!!!!!!
    Any suggestion is very much appreciated......Many thanks in advance,
    Rgds, DD1  

    Camera resolution is low and can’t change resolution (Nokia N8 has better)
    Lumia 920 is 8Mpix, N8 is 12 Mpx, that said please elaborate. I am pretty sure that you will not be able to tell which phone took a shot if I show you one and don't tell you which I used.
    Navigation (Here drive + beta) not comes with traffic updates and not giving alternate routes. Yeah traffic update is in the maps but there’s no point in there (Nokia N8 has better).
    HERE suite of apps is relatively new and constantly being updated. I'll come
    NBA live streaming No App. And flash player not support. (IOS and Android has it) not on N8 also.
    Flash is dead, not available anymore for any up to date OS. Talk to the developer of an app on bringing it to WP8
    Alarm won’t work when the phone off (N8 will turn on and works)
    Your N8 is never really off
    Keyboard not comes with arrow (<>) keys. Can’t type a missing letter between a word, have to delete the word and type the whole thing again.
    tap and hold in textbox, cursor appears, move finger (while holding) to where it needs to go
    Music player app can’t close. Just pause the song.
    There's an app if you feel you must remove the player. Last I checked when paused playback is stopped.

  • NOKIA LUMIA 920 reciever cannot hear me...

    Dear Michaels,
    I contacted Lumia support in India for a sound issue i.e the reciever cannot hear me at all. This is for all networks contacting me. I am on Vodafone and using a blackberry at the same location the reciever can hear me well. I spoke to the tech support guys who advised me to take it to the repair centre. On saturday i decided to do a factory reset. Then the gears went on turning till sunday and my phone would not start or charge. I took it to the repair centre and told them about my issue. They opened my phone and said the phone has water damage and it is out of scope of warranty. I asked them how is it that the gears are still running when the phone is started and they could not answer and they returned my phone saying I have to pay them. I think this is ridiculous. I spend 38K on a phone and customer support says water damage which is impossible since the gears were still turning as you connected the phone to the charger. But the phone would not charge. I took the phone back home and restarted it and Voila it started working. However now my voice cannot be heard at all by the caller. So I basically have a big shiny brick in my hand. All calls are returned using a Blackberry Curve which is working suprisingly fine. Please advise I have mailed Nokia care in India they said simebody would get back to me no one has. It has been over 5 days since the email and 10 days since I have not been able to return a call.
    Pretty frustrating. You can try calling me on 0091-xxxxxxxxx16 and see how bad the Nokia Lumia 920 sounds and then try me on my Curve at 0091-xxxxxxxxx96 and see the difference in clarity for your own self. Both are Vodafone sim cards.
    please help.
    Moderator's Note: Phone numbers were removed. Please don't publish your personal contact information on a public forum.

    I sent my Nokia Lumina 822 to Nokia due to the fact I could not hear every now and then the person I called or called me.  I was told my Verizon to take battery out for a few seconds and then reinsert.  This worked for a while.  It eventually got worse.  I dealt with Nokia via chat on line and phone for a few weeks trying to resolve problem.  I realized my warrantee was up in ten days and discussed with them having the phone looked at.  Being on an extremely limited income, I could not afford the insurance.  The phone was sent back to me with a letter stating it had water damage and could not be fixed under warrantee.  Everything on my phone worked except what I have listed above when I sent the phone in.  Now I cannot even turn the phone on.  I should have received the phone back in the same condition it was when I sent to them.  Now they are giving me a run around that is beyond my comprehension.  They are rude and demand this is my fault.  I must have submerged in water, which I had not.  Now I have a phone that will not turn on.  This phone was synced with my computer and used on a daily basis when away from the house.  I cannot afford a new phone as I saved just to purchase this particular phone.  They say I have no recourse in this situation.  I am extremely tired of being taken advantage by Nokia and treated as a stupid old lady.  All I want is the phone back in previous condition.  Not much to ask for, right?

  • Download different file types on nokia lumia 920

    Hi, 
    I recently got myself a nokia lumia 920.. Great phone i must say, however i find this phone is more limiting than the iPhone, or a cheap black berry curve
    Firstly, you cannot download anything from the internet that is not compatible with the phone, for example, .exe, .zip, .dll etc etc. This is the most annoying thing for me, as i constantly need to download software, drivers and tools to copy later to my computer. The other night i urgently needed internet access on my PC, and wanted to tether using my phone, NO USB tether support - HOW LAME!. anyways, i got myself a wireless card for my PC, but did not have the drivers for it... And could not download the drivers using my Lumia. So i managed to get the micro sim working in my old blackberry 9300 curve, and successfully downloaded my wifi drivers. So not being able to download anything either than apps and pictures on this lumia makes it a huge fail, what is the use of having so much storage and high broadband speed on this phone?
    Next is the bluetooth,
    I hate it! cannot define what services to connect over bluetooth... for example: 
    I have a bluetooth enabled radio in my car, and connect my Lumia to it. Works great for phone calls, however if you lock/unlock the phone, type a message or use the phone in anyway, it cuts whatever is playing on my radio and changes it to bluetooth audio mode... Now with my previous phones, blackberry, samsung etc. i could set the bluetooth service to only work as handsfree, and not stream all my phone's audio through to bluetooth. With the nokia Lumia, there is no options when it comes to bluetooth, either on or off - LAME
    And then the magnetic charger....
    Does not work, charged the phone until full, next morning the phone is off - dead flat (6hours after fully charged)
    I exchanged the charger twice already, and sent the phone in for repairs, this problem is still not resolved. So i have been using my old blackberry charger to charge the lumia - lasts +- 1.5 days now with constant usage.
    The nokia lumia has all the basic smart phone stuff - GPS navigation, exchange email supp, sync drive(skydrive etc), USB connectivity and storage, and internet tether - but the limiting options for downloading and bluetooth make this phone less of a smart phone than my blackberry curve. This phone is just pretty, and should only be used by people who want something fancy and limited, or developers that need to test apps on windows mobile 8.

    Did you check the detailed Info of the Application ? Does it mention the functionality which you think is missing ?

  • Nokia Lumia 920 potential battery drain issue?

    Can you Nokia confirm this? http://reach.jdbpocketware.com/topic/128305-to-nokia-ref-lumia-920/
    The issue illustrated in detail:
    Nature of Windows Phone buttons
    Pressing either the power button or the camera button will cause the device screen to turn on, even when the proximity sensor detects proximity.
    [IMAGE http://i.imgur.com/M2to9.png]
    The lockscreen behavior
    Upon power on, screen lights up and shows the lockscreen (or camera), which runs a timeout to auto power off the device if screen is not touched in X seconds. 
    But if screen is touched, the timeout counter is restarted, so continuous touching could lead into a loop, the "death loop" which won't let the device to power off (standby) and will consume battery life.
    [IMAGE http://i.imgur.com/2HNdV.png]
    New touchscreen technology
    The Nokia Lumia 920 comes with a touchscreen that reacts to touch from pretty much any material such as metal or clothes. This can be dangerous.
    [IMAGE http://i.imgur.com/4tbyY.png]
    So here is a theory 
    When the phone is inside a pocket or bag it can be touched by other objects. These objects can press buttons and can touch/rub the screen. This will initiate the "death loop" for who knows how much time, could be minutes or hours, depends on how active the user is since body movement will produce friction between objects/clothes and touchscreen:
    [IMAGE http://i.imgur.com/XMT0y.png]
    The "death loop" will drain battery and battery is precious.
    Solution?
    Should be simple: screen must not power on if the proximity sensor detects proximity. Current version of Windows Phone does not take care of this. The big question is: will Windows Phone 8 take care of this? Is the Lumia 920 a potential battery drainer?

    I don't understand why we have to spend our valuable time in the forums for days and nights to FIND HOW TO FIX THAT CRAB!! NOKIA company did not handout these devices FOR CHARITY.All of us had paid around a thousand dollars to buy this Phone. They have got to work overtime to fix it and publish a solution otherwise recall the devices back.

  • Nokia Lumia 920 loads of issues after Denim update...

    Everything functions well, but after updating it to Lumia Denim + Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 I first got some weird installing issues, then it started randomly crashing, then it worked fine again, of-course it won't back-up as usual (so no hard-resseting for me), and the live folders seem buggy for no reason at all, but for some reason whenever I attempt to create a live folder it takes me 5 minutes and it won't ''accept it''.
    Also for some reason there is no ''Hey Cortana'' or maybe this simply isn't for the Nokia Lumia 920.

    Hi, TulaTheQuang. You may try checking if there is any update on the phone system apps by going to Store >... > settings > check for updates and see if these will fix the problem. If not, try rebooting your phone by holding the volume down and power keys at the same time for 10-15 seconds, release and the phone will restart. After this operation, you may need to set the date and time on the phone. Let us know what will be the outcome. For the availability of Hey Cortana, you may refer to this link: Will I get “Hey Cortana” voice activation after Lumia Denim update?. Link is applicable regardless of your region.
    Regarding your concern about the calendar, gilesrm74. The feature is currently unsupported on the device, but you may post your concern on this link: windowsphone.uservoice.com as a feature suggestion. And for the availability of Cortana, you may check this link: Full of features: Lumia Denim Update.

    If you go to outlook.com and login with the Microsoft account you use on your phone, then go to the upper right and click your name, select account settings. On the left menu now go to Permissions then Manage your accounts. You should see linked accounts like Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin if you have them. If Facebook is not there, you need to add it and give permission for them to be linked. If it is there, you may want to try and remove it and add it back again and then give it a little time to sync and see if that works
