Lumia 520 hangs on regular basis and needs battery...

It's a quite new phone and not much installed on it, however a few days ago it started to hang on a daily basis. When it hangs nothing can be done, no button works or screen and the phone become basically useless. battery must be removed in order to reboot it. 
is there any known issue with the lumia 520 or would that be my phones problem warranty covered?

have you tried to hard format the device through the settings?
if it still continues to do this after a hard format, then i would bring it in...frozen and request a replacement device, especially if you just purchased this device. you should not have to deal with this issue if it is that new.

    I have a nokia lumia 520 an update popped up on my screen telling me to install so I did and now my phone has been stuck on rolling gears for 15 hours I've tried all the suggestions about resting with all the buttons but nothing is working somebody help

    If the charger is connected, disconnect it and wait till the Battery dies. Then reconnect the charger and wait upto an hour to see if the phone switches ON on its own. If not, try the Resets that you tried once again ..

    Hi Ethan6661,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you do not have access to the computer you normally sync with, it may be necessary to use one of these methods to erase your phone and remove the passcode:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
    Best,
    Jeremy

  • The plug in container for Adobe Flash eats up 100% of my CPU on a regular basis and I have to go in to task manager and kill the process.

    Screen updates become very slow and intermittent. I then start task manager to see what is using either ram or cpu, and invariably it is Plug-in container for Firefox using most of the cpu resources. When I kill the process, I get the message at the top of the browser that Adobe Flash plug-in has crashed.
    I understand that Flash is useful/necessary for many applications, but is there a way to limit the resources it uses?

    Do you have Logitech gaming software installed on the PC? If so, perhaps try the suggestion from the following post:

  • New nokia lumia 520

    my new nokia lumia 520 hangs. 
    its been only 20 days i brought my new lumia 520.
    Case : I just completed call. the screen got blacked out. we can still get incoming calls.
    we have the option to switch off. when it asks to slide down. it never happens. not able to slide it down.
    Solution - i removed battery and replaced. (This is very bad solution but i had no other option)
    tried - done power off and also volume down button with power off. it dint work.
    So disappointed!!

    hi mate, as a precursor to taking your phone to nokia care, you can check that you have the latest firmware updates for your device, and that you are up to date with the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store. also try performing a soft and then a hard reset if that doesn't work.

  • NOKIA LUMIA 520: I cannot see my call log date wis...

    Dear nokia support team and members,
                                I cannot view my call log date wise. If i receive call or If I missed a call I need to scroll down to the respective call entry like a treasure hunt in the call log history.
                               My brother has Lumia 610 which is a old version of wondows i.e.,7.5 mango where in he doesn't have this kind of issue at all. Being a updated model nokia lumia 520 should have this feature and should also expected additional features..But this is really disappointing ..
                                Please help me to solve this issue..
    Thanks !

    No, the date and time is correct. Even then the problem is same....

  • Lumia 520 battery draining extremely after officia...

    I updated my Lumia 520 from black to cyan. Before battery was ok. But now battery is draining extremely fast. After one hour use almost 30% gone.I did hard reset but still situation is same. Please Nokia rectify this problem fast. I Googled and founded so many people have same problem after cyan update.

    I have update my Lumia 920 to cyan around 2 months ago, and since then my battery was draining in less than a day mostly iddle. Before the update I could go 2 days and have still 20% left.
    I have researched the problem, and found that a lot of people are facing the same issue. Shame on Microsoft/Nokia not to acknowledge the problem. I have tried every option suggested on the various discussion board without any success. The only thing I didn't tried was a hard reset for obvious reasons.
    Last week I went on vacation, and used an international sim card, and suddenly my battery life was even better than before the update. I could go more than a day using my phone intensively (GPS, Pictures,...), and still have at least 30%-40% at the end of the day.
    When I came back home, I return the original sim card, and change the following things in 'cellular + SIM':
    1. I set  data connection off by default, and will turn it on only when needed (most of the time at home or at work I will use wi-fi anyway).
    2. In Network selection I select my provider instead of choosing automatic, and select 3G. I will change it to 4g when I turn the data connection on.
    It has been 15 hours since the last charge, and my phone is still at 90%. It seems to work for me (it might not work for every body). In any case it's only a work around until Microsoft acknowledges and fixes the problem.

  • Infopackage in process chain failing due to short dump on regular basis.

    HI Experts,
    There is a daily process chain in which one of the element (infopackage) fails due to short dump on regular basis (At least twice in a week) please find the message below
    Runtime Errors         DBIF_RSQL_SQL_ERROR
    Exception              CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB
    Short text                                                                               
    SQL error in the database when accessing a table.
    And in job log it is showing ARFCSTATE = SYSFAIL
    We are able to resolve it just manual update and the process goes fine no issues but my question here is what is the exact reason for this and how to resolve it permanently or decrease the frequency of the error.
    Please if any one can tell the root cause and the solution to avoid the issue in future on regular basis.
    and also can any one elaborate what is ARFCSTATE = SYSFAIL,for trfc check we don't have access to SM58 in ECC side
    and trfc is fine in bw side
    Appreciate for not giving the general solutions like repeated solutions already posted in SDN
    with regards,
    musai

    You can contact your BASIS person he can help you reg table space issue. it says used space is 98% and free space is 1.03%.
    ask your basis to set a threshold to check the space and send a mail notification to all daily regarding the space allocation and utilization.
    ARFCSTATE = SYSFAIL means the TRFC did not processed properly to the BW system from source.
    Monitoring object with information about tRFC and qRFC calls that are waiting to be executed in this system; after they have been executed, they are deleted from table ARFCRSTATE.
    Are there any hung TRFCs which are not processed to BW side. have you checked it
    first check
    load monitor -- menu -- environment -- job overview -- status of job(is it finsihed or not?) - check the job log -- ther try to find out the hung TRFc
    press find --tyep "sysfail" ok -- it will display all the hung or fialed TRFCs which are not processed to BW system.
    if you find the hung TID with respect to your load.. next goto SM58 trasaction to process the trfcs manually or use the load monitor menu -- environment -- transaction RFC -- source sys -- it will take you to same SM58 screen -- click F8 it will display the hung TRFc in that duration.
    select the TRFc and click on F6 to process them manually.
    also check the loackwaits anddead locks in ST04/DB6COCKPIT.( ask basis to check) if any dead locks are there they will take care of it.
    check for short dumps in st22 if any and try to analyse.
    Check the SM21 system logs.

  • Lumia 720 hanging.

    Good day! my Lumia 720 hanged 2 times already and i cant get rid of it, i can't turn it off, nothing at all. The first time it happens i waited for it's battery to drain, and then i charged it and then it became functional again, that was 4 weeks ago, then it happens again today, guess i will wait  for it's battery to be drained again. My Question, what is wrong with this phone? and what can i do to get rid of this "Hanging issue"?

    Hi @neps01 ,
    A soft reset should work in this situation: Press and hold volume down and the start button until the phone shuts off?
    I have seen this on my 720 a couple of times since the Cyan update. Do not know why it happens, and have not been able to reproduce a sequence to trigger the hang, but I am waiting for a new graphics driver and/or an update to touch.

  • What's the difference between XI basis and regular basis?

    I am an SAP basis admin for years.
    Now my corp starts to use XI.
    What is the difference between XI basis and regular basis if there is any?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    No difference... Basis is Basis (Technical consultant)... According to me its just terminology changed. i.e. SAP Administrator instead of SAP basis.
    For XI you may need to additionally control the Java stack administartion along with ABAP stack.
    Please go thourgh the below link to know about SAP NetWeaver Administrator, then you may compare with regular Basis activities
