Lumia 2520 Screen Flickers

I'm experiencing a screen flicker with my Lumia 2520. It only happens when I try to play certain games. I've tried turning off the auto brghtness, but it still does it. Previously, if I closed the app and went back in it would fix it. Now it doesn't. Very annoying. Any suggestions on what to try?

Hi TheGimper,
Welcome to the forum!
You mentioned that the issue only happens when playing certain games. Are these games downloaded from the Store? If yes, have you tried removing and re-installing them? This step will help us determine if the issue is caused by these games.
Here are some other troubleshooting steps that you may try:
1. Restart your tablet. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen. Select Settings, hit Power, and then tap Restart.
2. Refresh your Windows system. Refreshing your Windows system will reinstall Windows without removing your personal files, settings, the applications that came with your tablet and applications that you have installed from Windows Store.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen and tap Setting. Select Change PC Settings > Update and recovery.
Under Refresh your PC without affecting your files, select Get started and follow the instructions on the screen.
3. Check if the tablet's SW is updated. See this link for more information: Nokia Lumia 2520 - Update your tablet software.
Let us know how it will go.

Lumia 1320 screen flickers.

I have a Lumia 1320 and I've noticed a slight flicker on the screen. The flicker occurs only when the screen's brightness is low, no matter what I'm doing on the phone. It flickers even on glance screen. After some research online, I found that other people have this problem aswell. Is this software or hardware related? Is my device faulty?
I found a video demonstrating the same issue but on another device. The flicker is the exact same on my L 1320.

You can see the flicker clearly at 0:15 sec. It is more noticeable off camera.
After some research online, I found that its not an issue only on 1320 but on other devices aswell. Cmon Nokia, this phone has been on market for over a year. Issues like this should be fixed already. What should I do? Should I go on Nokia Care Center and ask for a new device? Screen replacement?

The thing is though that from what I've read online other people have this issue aswell. Which means that I don't have a faulty device. Which leads to the conclusion that it's either software related or a general hardware issue of all (or at least a batch) of L1320. Either way, this device has been on the market for over a year. Shouldn't this issue have already been addressed?
I've read on another forum that a fellow owner of a L1320 with the same issue changed his screen twice on Nokia Care Center, and the device still had the issue.
PS: Nokia Support replied to me this morning on the e-mail that I've sent them regarding this issue. You won't believe what they told me in response: "Set the display brightness to high to stop having this issue". Unbelievable.

Lumia 2520 Screen Jumping Problem

Hi.
My Lumia 2520 (Bought in Jan 2014) keeps jumping back to the start screen even if I don't press the windows button. Problem started a few months ago and it is getting worse and worse. Sometimes it works without problems but every now and then it jumps back to start screen for several times (for example 20 times). It may jump back i.e. from IE, E-mail or Calendar. For example, during writing this message my device has jumped back to start screen (ans sometimes back to IE) for five times... When 'the jumping mode' is on moving the device seems to make the problem even worse. My device is up-to-date. Hardware problem / repair needed?
Kind Regards, JR

Hi, jrfin.
Welcome to the forum!
How's the tablet doing? Did you happen to solve this issue? If yes, that would be a good news. If no, check this and try the listed workarounds: http://www.nokia.com/us-en/support/product/lumia2520/product-troubleshooting/. Just take note that the link is intended for US region.

it doesn't seem to be confined with a specfic model. also, it mostly indicates software rather than hardware issue.

Lumia 720 Screen Flickering/Jumping

About a month ago, my lumia 720 was suddenly started flickering. I tried all the possible ways to fix it including
1. Soft Reset
2. Hard Reset
3. Make touch sensitivity to normal.
4. Auto adjust brightness off. etc
None of them worked at all. Then Finally after 3 days of suffering, I got an idea. I removed the screen protector and then I realized the problem got solved. I was very happy.
But after a Month now the problem came back. Its now even more serious. I tried all the steps previously did and all failed.
Isn't there any possible solution except going to Nokia Care? Because the problem does not occur all time.. so even if i go to nokia care, i may not be abble to show them the problem.. Plz Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, PelicanPils.
The Nokia Software Recovery Tool is only compatible with Windows 7 OS or newer. Are you able to use it?
Your phone has one year manufacturer's limited warranty. After 12 months, you will be charged for any repairs from any Nokia Care Point. It is your discretion if you will continue with the repair process or not. To know more about the Nokia Manufacturer's Limited Warranty, see this: http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/guides/WC_B9229743_EN_1.pdf.
If possible, you can also visit a different Nokia Care Point for a second opinion. To locate one: http://www.nokia.com/in-en/store-locator/.

Screen flickering in Lumia 710.

Hi, I recently buy a retail Lumia 710 and noticed that under bright levels others than high (low, medium and auto) the screen bright level flicks when scrolling apps with high contrast elements in screen, like Internet Explorer or between menus with white background. This is noticed by other users :

Lumia 2520 replacement screen

Can anyone please advise me on how to get a broken display replaced on my Lumia 2520 tablet. I haven't been able to find anyone yet. (I live in the UK in the South East).
Thanks in advance.
Gizafiva

Unfortunately no Nokia care centres that I have called can get hold of a screen, and have no idea when they will be available.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a more direct route to getting it fixed.
it is looking like I'll be without the tablet for a good while longer :-(

Lumia 2520 keyboard and touch screen won't match

I have a very strange problem with my Lumia 2520. I bought the keyboard for my Lumia 2520 and for a while everything worked well. But now more often than not I can no longer use the normal touch screen at all - or the keyboard. If I start the tablet without the keyboard, it might not respond to normal usage via touch and I actually have to insert the tablet into keyboard to have any use for it at all. And sometimes even when the tablet is inserted in the keyboard the keyboard won't respond and the only way to get the blasted thing to work is to use the touch screen.
Has anyone else experienced this sort of trouble? If so, did you simply recover the factory settings and start from there? Or what else did you do?

Hi Tiriol,
Welcome to the forum!
Did something happen to the tablet or keyboard before this issue came up? Make sure that your Lumia 2520 running the latest software. You can check this link for the steps on updating the Lumia 2520's software: Software Update for Nokia Lumia tablet with Windows RT.
Hope to hear your feedback soon.

Nokia Lumia 2520 - stuck in updating mode.

I have a new Lumia 2520, which I began to commission today. I got it to look for updates, and it found a large number to download and install including one for the firmware. It appeared to download them, but then installation of all of them repeatedly failed, with the error message saying that an update was already in progress. I left it for four hours, still the same. Then from experience in commissioning Windows PCs I set it to restart and during the closedown sequence it came up with a blue screen and a message "Keep your PC on until this is done. Installing update 1 of 5".
Nine hours later the same message is displayed. The tablet is plugged into the charger, and is sitting adjacent to the wifi router: it has power and connectivity. Online information suggests that no update to this device should take more than 25-30 minutes. It just seems stuck: won't switch on, won't switch off.
What's wrong, and what can I do about it?
Thank you.

Hi, auchindrain. How's your tablet now? If you're still having the same issue, best to try the troubleshooting steps shown at this link: Lumia 2520 - Need help in fixing a problem?. Note that this link is intended for a specific region; search the same FAQ in the local MS Mobile support page: MS Mobile - Change locale.
We'll wait for your response. BTW, welcome to the Microsoft Mobile Community!

Lumia 2520 - Windows button fires arbitrary

hi, I have purchased my lumia 2520 about 4 months ago. Everything just worked fine but since last month the windows button just fires arbitrary. i do not touch the button, the lumia just arbitrary starts to vibrate and than changes to home screen.
may somebody can help?

Welcome to our community, reza2520. Any activity that you have done on the Lumia tablet prior to this issue? Have you already tried restarting it to see if there's any difference? Is it up-to-date? If you haven't tried checking it, here's how: Software Update for Lumia tablet with Windows RT. We look forward to your reply.

Lumia 2520 Touchscreen Unresponsive

Just got the Nokia Lumia 2520 from AT&T.
Started up the device.
At the "Region and language" screen, the touch screen is completely unresponsive. I cannot hit 'next' or tap any of the drop down menus.
I've tried restarting the device several times.
Is there a workaround or is this device defective?
Since the device has a preloaded SIM and a partial charge, I don't understand how I could be sent a defective device like this from AT&T.

If restarting does not help then it does look like you've been given a defective device. I suggest you return it to AT&T and get a replacement. Chances are it was never switched on by AT&T to test it when they added the sim.

Nokia lumia 2520 two observed bugs

Yesterday, i bought a nokia lumia 2520 (UK) and till now i observed two bugs:
1. Reader App froze the screen. I was reading a pdf and the screen froze, the solution was to hold the power button to hard reboot the device.
2. Infinite restarting. i shutted down the table with 3% of battery. After that i tried to turn on the device and a infinite loop of restarts was started, and it continued even after "Automatic Repair". In order to solve the problem, i plugged the power adapter.
Probably these failures caused because of the Windows RT OS, and i would like to inform nokia about them because the tablet (hardware+nokia apps) is awesome.

I'm having a similar issue here in the US. I bought my Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet 5 days ago. It has crashed on me everyday and generally have been able to get it to reboot. I tried a hard reset and yesterday tried to do a "refresh" of Windows RT. It worked fine after everything and so I used it last night and put it away without charging it because wanted to see if the battery would last with it off overnight. I woke up this morning (9 hours later) and the camera light keeps blinking and it won't boot. I left it to charge for two hours and it still has the blinking camera light and even though the Windows button vibrates, there is nothing on the screen. I have tried to power off and on, I have tried to hold down power and volume down for 70 seconds (both numerous times now) with no luck. It seems to have bricked, minus the blinking light and vibrating windows key. Anyone else have any suggestions? I really would hate to return it cause last time had a problem AT&T tried to screw me over with sending a used device instead of the new one I paid for.

Lumia 2520 recovery image

Hello everyone....
I would know if anyone knows where can I find the recovery image for Lumia 2520... Tried to find it but couldn't...
If anyone has the Lumia 2520 can do this procces
http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/storage-files-and-folders/create-a-recovery-drive
and upload this to cloud (such as dropbox for me)
I would appreciate it because I am from Greece and Nokia doesn't support this tablet... They tell to send it in another country to repair and this could take 3-4 months....
Thanks in advance...
Lumia 1020 -> The apotheosis of Nokia

Hi everybody. I'll copy the same thing I posted in WindowsCentral forums here hoping that someone will be able to help me:
I just received my Lumia 2520 and as soon as I got my tablet activated, downloaded a couple of apps it suddenly switched off. When I switched it back on again it showed the 'sad face' BSOD (Attached Image 1).
Then it kept restarting and showing the same message over and over again with a few exceptions when it showed some particular errors instead of the one above (and hanged for 10+ minutes at 100%) (Image 2).
This kept on going but then I managed to get to the 'Diagnosing your PC' screen followed by 'Choose an option' screen (Image 3) where I would be able to reset my device to the state it was when it got out of factory...if I had the Recovery Image written on an USB drive!
The question is, could someone who has the 2520 create the image and share it with me, please?

Mirroring possibilities for Lumia 2520 into TV?

I want to mirror my videos (i.e. Online ondemand movies) and etc into my LED TV. What are the best solutions at the moment for Lumia 2520?
I also got iPad and Apple TV and I'm looking for solution which handles mirroring into TV as easy as with iPad.
Lumia 2520 is awesome tablet by the way. Forget iPad Retina screen quality, Nokia Lumia 2520 goes far further with its brilliant screen.

Several sources confirm that Lumia 2520 has Miracast support.
http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/windowsexperience/archive/2013/11/12/windows-8-1-on-your-big-scre...
"... When you use wireless display, you have a source and a receiver: your Windows 8.1 device is the source, while your TV or projector is the receiver. If your display already has Miracast support, you are ready to go. If not, Miracast adapters provide an economical way to add wireless display to your existing TV or projector.
Wireless display works on new Windows 8.1 wireless PCs. This includes Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2, Nokia Lumia 2520, and Intel Atom Generation 3 (“Bay Trail”) and Intel Core Generation 4 (“Haswell”) systems. ..."

“Similarly, we’ve created a special version of Nokia Music for the Lumia 2520. We offer free full track streaming, just like on your Lumia smartphone, and we’ve really taken advantage of the great screen size to use high quality artist images to make the app look as good as it sounds.
USB 3.0 support and Micro-HDMI connectors, together with support for DLNA and Miracast, make it easy to connect the Lumia 2520 to larger screens and audio systems."

Need advice Lumia 2520 vs Lumia 1020

Im a traveler, moving from a place to another place.
Which is good for me
Lumia 2520 or Lumia 1020
I prefer tablet but it's sometimes troublesome for a traveler like me

If the OS is not the issue then have a look at the 1520..
The 2520 and 1020 is really apples and oranges, the 1520 is a huge (6") phone so you get the larger screen and it will make calls as well. Especially if your main use is web and email I'd say the 1520 woudl be a perfect compromise. The usual phone limitations (no Flash support for one) apply obviously..
