Barbados Maps on Lumia 920

Hi,
I am going to the Carribean this week and wanted to download the maps of Barbados. However I couldn't find them in the list of downloadable maps. When I go to Barbados I can see all the roads etc as it loads the data on the fly, so the data is there... just trying to figure out how I can use them offline.
Thanks,
Christian

No Livesight in HERE maps on Lumia 920

After upgrading to HERE Maps on Monday I cannot see the new Livesight option inside HERE Maps.
It is not listed neither in Places nor in the map layers (Satellite, Traffic, ...)
Has anybody been able to use Livesight inside HERE Maps?
Does it work for you? If it does, in which country?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've found LiveSight.
When you have HERE maps open click on places. When you now click to choose a view you see LiveSight as one of the map options.

Lumia 920 on Black Amber - HERE Maps stops working

Hi,
After being trilled about updating and closing my applications using the X button on multi-tasking (finally!), I went into my Here Maps, or rather, I tried to open Here Maps, and it closed (probably an exception occurs and closes the app, just like when you develop WP apps).
So i've been searching the web.
Solutions that i've seen
1- Reset Phone (Done)
2- Soft Reset (Done)
3- Uninstall, Reinstall (Done)
4- Open while in Airplane/Removing SIM => still closes and crash
5- Uninstall Maps in Settings > Applications > Maps, I don't have Maps option (Even when I install/uninstall HERE Maps and/or HERE Drive+ and/or HERE Transit)
6- No updates available
7- Updated to latest version (I'm on black amber).
So after all that, i've been for 2 hours not able to solve my issue, which is (to recap):
Can't open HERE Maps on Lumia 920 (Black Amber), instantly crashes. I can still use Transit for getting my subway + bus infos, but can't use HERE Drive+ and Maps.
If there's anything more you need, please ask.
Thanks
Solved!

Lumia 920 Offline Maps

Could anybody confirm that Lumia 820 and 920 have real offline maps? Meaning that even if no SIM card is inserted in the phone or if I am out in the forest somewhere with no network coverage, or if roaming is turned of, that the maps really are functioning as they do in the Nokia C5-00.

Hi, thanks for your replies
How could I see that the offline Maps are working in "real" offline mode in the specification?
The specification for the Nokia C5, which I currently use, says:
Navigation features and services
OVI Maps
Positioning features
GPS
A-GPS
If I want to use the C5 in "real" offline mode and the roaming turned on, I have to disable the A-GPS function, which uses the network.
In the Lumia 920 I can't see that the feature GPS is available, it says only A-GPS.
Could it be that only the maps are working in offlinemode but that you still need a network for the positioning to work?
I purchased a Lumia 900 and returned it after discovering that it didn't have the GPS function, this time I want the be sure before purchasing a Lumia 920.

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.

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 India .. missing features and some sugge...

Alrito ppl..i have migrated from nokia 701 (Symbian) to Nokia lumia 920 (Windows 8)
Country : India
FW : 1232.5951.1249.1001
OS Version : 8.0.10211.204
No sim inserted as yet and right now using it in wifi mode only
Since i was a symbian user..some features are very very essential in my daily phone usage (though some are rare)
So the required features/suggested
Camera/Photos :
1.Red eye reduction
2.Self-Timer
3.Details of photos like size,location,resolution, etc etc
4.Number of photos like how many photos are there in an album or phone..
5.wat is the use of having albums tab when u cant create one??!!
Media:
1.Heard that Stereo FM is gonna come soon with the next update of accessing fm radio and can also radio transmittor ?
Hope its coming soon...
2.Cant the equaliser me edited? and also be accessed from the music player ??
3.MKV Format files doesnt play !! (Yes, i have tried it)
Others :
1.Internet explorer has a problem.. i use my ie whn wifi is on and later after swtiching off wifi
if i wanna close down ie..i cant because it jst keeps going back to the previous webpage which cannot load due to no access to net !!! plspls fix this .!!
2.Nokia MAPS as compared to my symbian nokia 701 ... the gps access is really really bad.. i had to use my old mobile for using the nokia drive option..
3.I know windows 8 doesnt have ny "file system" but i do hope they bring something like file manager for better access to many other things...
4.many other extentions like .zip, .rar dont work because of lack of apps and no basic functionality to access them..pretty bad for a person using the phone for office purpose..
5.Profiles should be evidently visible and i should be able to create seperate profile because just ring+viobrate, vibrate and flight mode is not enough..
6.In the groups under contacts...i really want to add people by selecting them and not individually...i know a very small request but it really helps...
7.In the groups under contacts...i want to see the number of people in the group..i dont want to count them manually.. a small feature again but i request u to add it too..helps a lot..
8.The counter for message,calls, etc and call logs for more than 30 days will be appreciated if it comes with the update because thn installing app for it is something i wudnt like..but this is a suggestions which i hope is implemented for better user experience...
will add some other requirements and suggestions as soon as i get better experience of my new phone

Camera/Photos:
1. You can use Nokia Creative Studio on the phone to fix red eye.
3. Install "Picture Info" from the store, it's free.
5. You need to ask Microsoft that question but it does show albums you've created in skydrive or facebook
Media:
1. Only a rumour, Microsoft at this moment does not support FM and the next update does not enable it. Even if the L920 did have the required hardware it would only work as a receiver, not a transmitter.
3. I don't believe Microsoft has added support for that.
Others:
1. Microsoft control IE featurs, if you press the menu dots then close all tabs you can easily exit.
2. Weird, GPS works well where I am, make sure you use it with a data connection.
3,4,5,6,7 & 8. You need to suggest that to Microsoft as it is their operating system, not Nokia's.
You can submit suggestions to Microsoft on the link below:
http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions
You can discuss things about the OS on Microsoft's forum:

32 GB GREAT..
.. but a few things which i had in earlier Nokia phones were missing
i got Lumia because i beleive Nokia will make thier apps available for Lumia as well even thought its windows
a) Profile- Normal/silent/Meeting/Custom were missing. is there a plan to enable it ?
b) Playlist functionality... the N8 was just updated with a beautiful music app can u please have something like that for nokia music app.
c) Music player doesn;t support equaliser my e71,5800,n8 can do i why cant lumia do it ?
d) please provide nokia internet radio for Lumia ... no good internet radio app available...
e) what about the screen saver with clock date info.. that should be a easy fix for Nokia can u please lets have it
f) Bluetooth on phone is not detected by my portable music player it can detect N8 though why ? is it a bug?
g) can u please add the photo and video editors to Lumia store under Nokia App.
h) Can u please introduce Nokia bubbles...
i) Also the Nokia Sleeping screen...
j) How to enable nokia offfline maps ?
k) I am in US not able to get free unlimited songs are promoted on website.
l) Also add a good video tutorial in the phone like u had for 5800 XM or at least good help like in N8...
m) can we have the drag down menu from all screens like new N8 fix which provides control for bluetooth,WIFI, mobile data, silent mode...and also NFC...
NFC is cool the data transfer of foto happened in seconds... please market this .
n) SWYPE is missing.. can u add that.
o) also on my 5800 and N8 there were a few songs and Videos that came with phone why noting in Lumia...
p) Does it support USB on the go ?
q) why no SD card external slot..
These are a few things which will make Nokia standout from the rest of the sheeps in the market.
I love nokia. In our company they were talking about using Windows phone it could be NOKIA as integration is easier with Desktop.
by giving users a difffernt BETTER experience like SYMBIAN Nokia can make a good comeback.
Please prrovide answers iff already available...
called customer service got transferred to Manila>Philliphines they didnt know the answers...
Any questions please mail [email protected] die hard Nokia supporter.
Regards
K.R
KR

a) Profile- Normal/silent/Meeting/Custom were missing. is there a plan to enable it ?
AGREE WITH YOU HERE. THERE IS JUST RING AND VIBRATE/RING/VIBRATE/SILENT   CURRENTLY ALL THE OPTIONS WE HAD WITH SYMBIAN ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON THE WINDOWSPHONE 8, WHICH IS NOT NECESSARILY A NOKIA CHALLENGE, BUT A WP8 CHALLENGE
i understand that, this is where nokia could provide a app like nokia Situations and a Nokia profile which would make it stand out in the crowd
b) Playlist functionality... the N8 was just updated with a beautiful music app can u please have something like that for nokia music app.
NOT SURE ABOUT THE LATEST NOKIA MUSIC APPLICATION ON SYMBIAN FOR THE N8, BUT THE NOKIA MUSIC ON THE LUMIA IS GREAT. AND IF YOU ARE IN THE USA, IT IS FREE.
I am waiting for the Customer service call back i have scheduled a call will check what they say. i dont want to reset phone. it messes up . doesnt work like new then. i have had issues in past
c) Music player doesn;t support equaliser my e71,5800,n8 can do i why cant lumia do it ?
THERE IS AN EQUALIZER ON THE 920, BUT IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE ACTIVATED, YOU HAVE TO USE A WIRED HEADSET CURRENTLY. EVEN ON BLUETOOTH, IT IS NOT ACTIVATED. I HOPE THAT THERE IS A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO FIX THIS AS WELL.
Lets see what does Nokia do with it... if they fix it like they fixed the signal problem last April
d) please provide nokia internet radio for Lumia ... no good internet radio app available...
e) what about the screen saver with clock date info.. that should be a easy fix for Nokia can u please lets have it
CURRENTLY A LIMITION, ONCE AGAIN OF THE WP8 OS. I TOO, HOPE THAT NOKIA CAN MAKE THAT A "UNIQUE" OPTION TO FURTHER DIFFERENTIATE ITSELF FROM ITS "COMPETITORS" ALSO SELLING WP8 DEVICES. I HAVE TO SAY, THIS I REALLY, REALLY MISS FROM MY N9.
f) Bluetooth on phone is not detected by my portable music player it can detect N8 though why ? is it a bug?
BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE BT TURNED ON. OTHER THAN THAT, IT WOULD PROBABLY DEPEND ON THE MUSIC PLAYER. WHICH I AM GUESSING THAT IS SOME TYPE OF SPEAKER BOX?
if it works with N8 that would mean the music players supports bluetooth. not sure What 920 is missing i read with WP8 there were file transfer issues.The music player is a portable bose music stand...
g) can u please add the photo and video editors to Lumia store under Nokia App.
h) Can u please introduce Nokia bubbles...
O o O o oo OO...
i) Also the Nokia Sleeping screen...
NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN BY THE NOKIA SLEEPING SCREEN, BUT IF YOU MEAN THE LOW POWER SCREEN, AGREED, BUT NOT THERE.
No Sleeping screen is where you have beautiful screen image simulation check link below
http://store.ovi.com/content/212990
j) How to enable nokia offfline maps ?
FIRST YOU WILL WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU INSTALL THE MAPS FOR THE AREAS THAT YOU ARE GOING TO WANT TO VISIT.
I installed the maps i still get message u are not online , went online the system understood i had map then it says it can work offline.. didnt have this issue with N8. the GPS in Lumia and map app seem faster though..
OPEN NOKIA DRIVE/MENU/CONNECTION/TURN TO OFF FOR OFFLINE USAGE
k) I am in US not able to get free unlimited songs are promoted on website.
I AM IN THE USA AS WELL.   SEEMS TO WORK SWELL HERE. OPEN THE NOKIA MUSIC AND SEARCH, JUST LIKE PANDORA. MAYBE CHECK YOUR LANGUAGE SETTINGS TO BE SURE THAT ALL OF THEM ARE SET TO UNITED STATES. I HAD THIS ISSUE IN THE BEGINING. THEN REBOOT.
I checked i dont see option in nokia music app. see N8 it has tabbed playlist/artist view. that looked cool to me
l) Also add a good video tutorial in the phone like u had for 5800 XM or at least good help like in N8...
...I THINK THAT FOR THE WORK THAT GOES INTO IT...AND MOST PEOPLE JUST DELETE IT OR NEVER VIEW IT....NOT NECESSARY. KIND OF LIKE INCLUDING A MANUAL THESE DAYS.
Yes but thats what made Nokia stand out from Appy and Sammy lets not loose the good work already put it.
m) can we have the drag down menu from all screens like new N8 fix which provides control for bluetooth,WIFI, mobile data, silent mode...and also NFC...
NO DRAG DOWN, BUT I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION.   THERE IS A CONNECTIONSAPPLICATION IN THE STORE THAT WORKS WELL THAT YOU CAN PIN INDIVIDUAL NEEDS TO YOUR SCREEN.
The nokia shortcut were much better i could just click to switch on switch off. the more i think about it the more i like N8 and think why did i go for something else...
NFC is cool the data transfer of foto happened in seconds... please market this .
YES!!! BUT I THINK THE INDUSTRY IS NOT GOING TO ADOPT THE NOKIA "NFC" TAG AND INSTEAD ARE GOING TO USE THE TAP TO SEND TYPE OF VERGIAGE AS THE SAMSUNG DEVICES USE THE SAME LANGUAGE THERE.
Industry is crazy they didnt heed even to SIM sugggestions by Nokia but if u have money u have power.. Knowledge and exp dont count these days. Nokia productts are safer robust i always stand by them Hope it becomes leader again and we get Phones like N8 symbian again with looooottttts of good functioanlity.
n) SWYPE is missing.. can u add that.
AND THE CONGREGATION SAID IN SYNC....AAAAAAAAWWWWMMMMMEEEEEEEEEN!
THERE IS A SWYPE APPLICATION IN THE STORE BUT THE IMPLEMENTATION IS REALLY QUITE POOR. I REALLY MISS THIS FROM MY ANDROID, SYMBIAN AND MEEGO DEVICES. I HOPE THERE WILL BE ENOUGH PRESSURE THAT MICROSOFT INCORPORATES IT.
AS FOR THE APPLE USERS, MOST DONT EVEN KNOW IT IS AVAILABLE TO USE, AND UNTIL APPLE INVENTS IT, THERE IS NO OTHER COMPETITOR TO FORCE IT. I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO SEND A MESSAGE TO WP8 TEAM FROM MICROSOFT.
o) also on my 5800 and N8 there were a few songs and Videos that came with phone why noting in Lumia...
p) Does it support USB on the go ?
NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN BY USB ON THE GO, BUT YOU CAN CONNECT TO A PC ON WP8 AND STILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE OPEN PARTITIION ON THE DEIVCE THAT YOU CAN TRANSFER SONGS, VIDEOS, PICTURES, AND RINGTONES TO.
check the link below
http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/nokia-n8s-usb-on-the-go-support-demoed-lesser-phones-turned-in/
q) why no SD card external slot..
...CLOUD! VERY FEW DEVICES COMING OUT NOW ARE INCLUDING THIS OPTION AND IT IS MISSED. BUT THE CLOUD IS YOUR FRIEND, ESPECIALLY AS THE SPEEDS GET FASTER AND FASTER TO CONNECT TO IT.
but thats where i need a bigger data plan and pay more dollars later, SD card is better i think Sammy and HTC have it
called customer service got transferred to Manila>Philliphines they didnt know the answers...
THAT IS SEEMINGLY ALWAYS THE CASE. YOU GET BETTER AND FASTER CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM THE CUSTOMERS....HERE ON THE BOARD.
HOPE ALL THIS HELPED YOU.
BTW...YOUR MESSAGE WILL MOST LIKELY BE MODERATED FOR INCLUDING YOUR EMAIL.

Lumia 920, screen rotation not working, loosen obj...

I have pre-ordered the lovely yellow 920 from Telstra Australia, in November, arrived around start of December. It is a fantastic phone to use, however there are several hardware and software issues influencing this experience in a bad way. Anyone have the same experiences with the folloing issues?
Firstly, I have noticed only in just a few days of using it, the screen can get obvious scratches very easily from normal use without screen protector film. Now, there is a pattern of many scratches from swipe up to unlock gesture. I though it would be as least do better than iphones
Secondly, I have noticed what feels like a chunk of loose object inside the phone, as I shake it quickly left and right, which could even be heard, as two hard object in contact with each other. I have no Idea what could that be.
Thirdly, the screen rotation simply stopped working one day without notice. Tried soft reset a dozen times and even hard reset to factory status did not fix the issue. This get me thinking, it might have been a serious hardware issue, or perhaps the accelorometer/gyroscope was damaged by that loose object inside the phone. However, today, all of a sudden it starts to work again.........Brilliant!.......not...
Another issue is that it could get Literally Burning Hot on the top right corner(front) of the phone in some circumstances. I understand electronic devices can get warm while operating, my Nokia N8 gets warm during intense operation such as multi-tasking Map, Drive etc, But it never gets to a point when you have to consider whether it is still safe to use or not, sadly, I have to do that with my 920 while video chatting,
There are even more issue with the software. A few random mornings in the past month, I wake up to a dead 920 on a wireless charging pad, only to be able to recover through soft reset procedure (Volum down + power). No idea why....
and sometimes as I accept an incoming call, the phone freezes on that screen. The call still goes through, three buttons are still alight and vibrates, but not functional. Again, only recoveralbe by soft reset.
Does anyone have the same experiences with these issues?
No matter what might caused these issues, to have all these occuring within a flagship smartphone, Me as a loyal Nokia fan (3210,6600,6220,3220,6300,N95,N8) is very disappointed.

I also bought Lumia 920 and had same issue with accelorometer. I have submitted phone in Nokia care and after 15 days they repired and given back. This happened in june 2013, now i started facing same issues again and my phone also get very hot while charging...... Can anyone advice how to get my device preplaced ???
thanks.

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.
Click on the blue Star Icon below if my advice has helped you or press the 'Accept As Solution' link if I solved your problem..

Lumia 920 - temperature issue

Sometimes the temperature of my Lumia 920 will get so hot that the SIM card will stop registering. This results in the phone throwing up a SIM error.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything I can do?

what usage patterns of your phone? if it is heating up unnecessarily in daily use, with apps such as HERE Drive+, Here Maps, and Games shut down, then sounds like something is wrong hardware-wise. to be on the safe side, i would check that battey draining processes such as Location in the Settings, and Tap + Send are turned off, and that you have the Portico update for WP8 downloaded and installed, by chjecking Settings > Phone Update. also ensure that you are fully up to date with all the latest Nokia system app updates in the STore.
failing that, you can try performing a soft reset (pressing the voluime down and power buttons together until the phone vibrates), or if that doesn't work, then a hard reset (Settings > About > Reset your phone). please bear in mind that this wipes everything, so you will need to make a backup of personal data to PC and/or online storage first.
failing that, need to take your phoen to Nokia Care for inspeciton: http://nokia.com/support

Lumia 920 features availability

Hi,
Can anyone from Nokia please advise at which countries apart of Europe & Americas all of the maps features of the Lumia 920 will be available when it ships in anyone of the available countries?
Also, is the screen made of Gurilla Glass 2?
Thanks,

Lumia 920 Randomly Reboots / Cannot Be Turned Off

Hello,
I have just bought a Lumia 920 today, and now have the problems described in the thread subject... Every few minutes while idle, the phone will power down and immediately power up again. This does render the phone useless to me...
When trying to shut it down to remove the SIM card I noticed I cannot even shut it off. It would instantly turn itself back on again.
Did anyone else notice this kind of behaviour from their Lumia 920 (or maybe other phones as well)? I was really looking forward to this device and this really ruins it for me
Thanks in advance!
Solved!

Same thing on my Lumia 920 unit from ATT, received just today via online purchase. Began resetting within 30 minutes, and continues to do so, especially in places like voicemail and phone functions. Also fails to register initial settings like search engine (on every reset, goes back to Bing instead of Google) and other things I've had to re-configure 3 or 4 times. It took about four tries to get a Texas map database to download, despite using a home wi-fi right next to the wireless router.
I don't think this is a SIM problem at all, because the rests don't always take place in the phone section. And I've even turned the cell phone data feature off, and still the reboots. It MAY be the micro-USB connector, because since I've been charging the phone while initializing it, the resets happen with it inserted. But this is also the data cable, so if the unit resets all the time while moving huge chunks of desktop data, then it is useless. If the micro-USB connector is that rickety, more trouble is down the road.
This is a real shame, becuase I like the phone and was ready to switch from iPhone. Now I'm stuck with something I have to send back and try to get my old iPhone to work again, so at least I'll have some cell phone calls.
About eight hours of my time loading music, getting familiar, and configuring for my home desktop windows 8. If my Windows 8 desktop rebooted my machine eight times in only a few hours of initial usage, I'd be going back to old desktop as well.
Again, very sad, because this seemed to be a great phone with great features at a low-low price. I guess when it seems too good to be true, it is. iPhone may be falling behind in some ways, but at least it's been a reliable phone for three years.
Lucky I have 14 days money back, return to old phone, no questions asked. But it took less than half a day to figure out the phone didn't work.
About the only possible fix would be some firmware upgrade promised to fix it permanently, but they had better make a big deal about publicizing, or have a million returns on their hands.

Lumia 920 overheating when running Here Drive+

Any suggestions as to why my Lumia 920 overheats to the point of shutting down when trying to navigate with Here Drive+
Doesn't matter if I have it running on battery power or via a Nokia DC car charger, same effect, it gets hot and then shuts down
version 4.0.5410.0
maps 8.30.51.121
Lumia 920 WP8

Similar issue with Lumia 920 (WP8) heating up when using Here Drive. I've resorted to using it only for short amounts of time to avoid excessive heat buildup. When I use Here Drive, battery life is significantly shortened also which is another reason why I don't leave it running during long drives. If the phone does overheat, it tends to exit out of the Drive app and I sometimes I don't realize that Navigation has stopped working until I look at the phone!
And no, I do not use live traffic data as I do not have a data plan on my phone.
