Lumia 620's glove-friendly touch?

According to Nokia's website (in Holland) Lumia 620 is supposed to be glove-friendly: http://www.nokia.com/nl-nl/producten/telefoon/lumia620/
So far, my Lumia 620 does not seem to have this capability.
How is this possible?
It was one of the reasons why I bought it.

Unfortunately there isn't an adjustable setting for screen sensitivity on the 620. At least not for the UK variant.
Did you swipe LEFT after going to settings-->display+touch ?
Yes, indeed I did. On the 920 there is the word "touch" greyed out and swiping brings it to the fore to reveal the sensitivity switch but on the 620 the same option isn't available. There is only two settings for Display (Sunlight readability + Battery Saver brightness).

Lumia 620 touch buttons freeze

Hello, I have recently got a Lumia 620. I've noticed when I swipe down and my finger leaves the bottom boundary of the screen, passing over the touch butons (back, start, search), these butons freeze and become inaccesible until I touch the screen again.
Is my phone faulty? It doesn't happen on my previous phone, an HTC HD7.
(Other than that, I am really impressed with the 620!)

It's normal behaviour on that model to prevent accidental presses of the buttons. It detects your finger has left the screen and moved on to the buttons in one motion so disables them. I believe they have done this due to the smaller size of the device and closeness of buttons to the screen. They may tweak the behaviour in future updates.

Hi, borninwar. Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions! Just to clarify, does this happen all the time or is it intermittent? This may be basic but we just like to verify if you have tried to remove your back cover & its battery? You can also try to reset the phone using hardware combinations. Please note that this will delete all your files. If you can backup your files, please do so.

hi mate, this is a user to user forum only for Nokia products and services. as such, Nokia care points are independently run franchises, and in this case you will need to persist with Nokia Care until the issue is resolved to your satisfaction.

Disappointed with my windows phone!!(lumia 620)

I bought a new lumia 620 as a back up to my android(htc one x+)..but I am very disappointed with some of these glitches..
1. No notification centre..it's really a pain!
2. Can't pay via SIM card to purchase an app..
3. Can't play high mp4, mkv, flv videos though I think the snapdragon s4 is capable to do it..is Nokia waiting for a developer to put up such an app at the store?!!
4. Limited file download size...!!! It's worst...I got an unlimited data plan and don't really have to care..why Microsoft has to protect me!! Instead they should turn it to a feature by allowing the user to decide the restriction..for example: if u have a 1 GB data plan you should be able to set a restriction which would protect you when your overall usage exceeds 1 GB! I feel as if windows is trying to follow APPLE blindly..why make it so complicated instead of user friendly!!
5. My handset does crash and restarts at least once a day..
6. Battery drains out too quickly..something which is not expected from Nokia
7. Very few apps..most of them are **bleep**..if not they are too costly..I even feel Microsoft should reduce the price of app hosting
8. Whenever I share via Bluetooth..my phone hangs for sure and there is no option other than removing my battery and restarting..
9. If any unsupported file format is downloaded I don't know where is it stored..and eats up my memory...
I am even using APPLE IPOD with which I share a better experience than my lumia...
I am sure to ditch this useless paper weight within a month if no improvements appear..
Sorry if my language is rough but it's my frustration with lumia..and I am fed up..expecting a good update...
And these are what I know is all consumers want..Nokia and Microsoft should think about consumers satisfaction above all!!!
Thanks

Paying through your mobile account for apps is the responsibilty of your network provider to support this feature for Windows Phone, so you need to take your complaint to them.

HELP - My new Nokia Lumia 620 won't boot up, even ...

I'm worried my Nokia Lumia 620 is a lemon, and the Care Centre will just keep taking it in for repair. The reliability so far has been disappointing, especially as I was giving Nokia a try after a 10 year break, and also trying out Windows Mobile / Phone after a 6 year break. I want to recommend it - I'm continually being asked by friends and colleagues what I think of my new phone.   Nokia will be smart to just replace it.
The details: my Nokia Lumia 620 won't boot up today (again). It hung on boot this morning with the Nokia Logo. That was over 2 hours ago. It had this problem during February, and I returned it twice for repair to the local Nokia Care Centre. I guess I'll take it in again later today, but it just feels like a lemon handset so far.
Timeline:
Handset purchased in local Nokia Store on Jan 29 2013 ( 7 weeks ago)
Handset gave "Exclamation-Mark-Screen-of-Death" on Feb 19 2013 (3 weeks old handset)
Local Nokia Store sent me to local Nokia Care Centre, handed in overnight "for repair"
Phone returned on Feb-20-2013 after software refresh.
Worked fine for 1 week.   Problem returned Feb 26 2013. (4 week old handset)
Nokia Care Centre "replaced motherboard" on Feb 27 2013.
Has worked fine for 3 weeks.   Now Lumia 620 won't boot this morning - no Exclamation Mark, instead it's the Nokia Logo on boot.
The handset is 7 weeks old.
Hard reset (side-button-combination) hasn't worked either.
Any advice on getting this working, repaired or replaced?

Update on the repair - it didn't work. I returned the phone to the Yau Ma Tei Nokia Care Centre on March 20th, and was given what was termed a 'replacement' phone. I was pretty happy. All was well. But two days later when I tried to make a phone call using my headphones, I noticed that only the left audio channel was working through the earphones. I tried a second pair of earphones and the same problem. The audio was only working through the left channel. On a new phone. How strange.
So was it really new? My suspicion is that the repair centre has used old returned parts (parts they perhaps term as refurbished) - so in fact my replacement phone is my old phone assembled with old and refurbished parts. Was it in fact a refurbished phone assembled from refurbished parts? Frustrating when they tell me it's a replacement phone.
That was back in late March. I posted a couple of tweets and Nokia responded. They even phoned me to try and help. However no offer of a new phone. All they suggested was that I revisit the Nokia Service Centre. For a 4th time.
That was about 6 weeks ago, and I simply haven't made the time to go to the Service Centre again. It's hard to find the time when my last 3 visits have been so unsuccessful.
Sometimes you just get a lemon. It happened to me once before with a different manufacturer when I was on a contract and had to live with a phone for 2 years that kept cutting out during calls. Same problem - the manufacturer attempted to repair it, but it just never worked properly. That was 10 years ago. Now it's happening with my new Nokia. Luckily I'm not on contract this time. I've read good reviews for the Lumia 620, and overall it's a pretty decent handset in every other way.
But the issues this particular handset has been plagued with has overshadowed any positive feelings I have been having. I'll probably be cutting my losses and changing handsets in the summer.

Lumia 620 (Amber) does not find a Bluetooth 4.0 he...

I purchased a BT4 heart rate monitor (Polar H6) after my Lumia 620 got the Amber update as the update promised to bring BT4 support to my phone. On the Nokia specifications page for my phone also states that Lumia 620 supports "Bluetooth 4.0 + LE". However, my phone does not find the heart rate monitor and I cannot pair the devices. It does find older bluetooth devices and the heart rate monitor worked fine on my friends iPhone.
Is there really support for BT4 LE in Lumia 620? Has anyone gotten Lumias to work with BT4 devices?

Just found this when googling how to build my own BT4 LE app:
http://developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Introduction_to_Bluetooth_support_on_Windows_Phone_8
"Warning: At time of writing (24th October 2013) no public APIs have been made available by Microsoft for accessing additional features of Bluetooth 4.0 LE on any device.
Underlying support for Bluetooth 4.0 LE is enabled on Nokia Lumia 520, 620 & 720 by the Nokia Lumia "Amber" update. All other Nokia Lumia WP8 smartphones are expected to receive BT LE support as a future software update."

Lumia 620 buttons failure

First of all,
I am **bleep** right now!
My phone (lumia 620) is only 6-7 months old and I am getting sick of it.
After a month the problems started. He crashed sometimes without a reason, the screen did weard things, etc
And now I had it. My lower volume button is broken. My sound is now standing on 10/30, I use this phone as alarm and thats pretty load. I also use it as a mp3 but I cang lower the volume. I already checked if there wasnt just some dust between the buttons by opening the case, but it didn't helped at all!
7 months!!
I see a lot of users have the same problem and the only thing you guys say to us is: "Go to the nearest nokia repair center."
Maybe something is going wrong in the production process?!
My phone only fell once 2 months ago, the only thing he had was some scratches on the case, but it worked fine until now. So dont say its my own fault.
I am really angry and I think I won't gonna buy another lumia.
A friend of my bought also a lumia and after 2 months his start button was jammed!
You guys better fix this problem fast!
Cheers

We're sorry to hear this. However, the best option to get the phone fixed is what you have mentioned in your post and that is to bring the phone to the Care Center for assessment.

Lumia 620 video format - Panasonic TV

I had previously had problems with DLNA streamiing - http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nokia-Lumia/Lumia-620-quot-Play-To-quot-app/td-p/1772318http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nokia-Lumia/Lumia-620-quot-Play-To-quot-app/td-p/1772318 and have now been in discussion with Panasonic.
They seem to be claiming the Nokia Video format is not compatibile with their TV sets ( well mine anyway, a TX-L37DT30B ).
The Panasonic manual seems to say it can handle MP4 files of type H.264 BP/MP/HP with AAC/MP3 audio.
The Nokia web site for the 620 says "Video recording formats: MP4/H.264" and "Audio recording file formats: 3GP, 3G2"
The Panasonics DLNA "file manager" can see the video and reports it as 1280x720p MP4 file, but it stutters badly when played back via the 'Play To' Beta app.
So the questions basically are:
Am I missing something,
Are these video/Audio formats compatibile?
And more importantly, should the Lumia 620 be able to play back video on a Panasonic TV? (Any other panasonic users out there).
Thank you

Beta forum - that will have to wait then. I've had two attempts to post to it (from different browsers) and both failed. After pressing <submit> to make the post it gives a message "server unavailable" (or some such nonsense).
I tried to post:
I'm trying to stream Lumia 620 video to a panasonic TV using DLNA via a BT Home Hub 2B. The phone connects wirelessly to the router, and the TV connects via powerline Eth adapters to the router.
Whilst I can connect and see photos on the TV, video is just a stuttering slide show.
I originally posted here - http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nokia-Lumia/Lumia-620-video-format-Panasonic-TV/td-p/1810002 and was advised to post on the Beta discussion as well.
The video stutters when played by DLNA, but the same video transferred to an SD card via a PC, plays OK in the TV.
I've been on touch with Panasonic and they seem to be blaming the phones video format for not playing in the media server, yet their brochure for the TV claims it can play 720p MP4 videos.
Any ideas?
Should the Lumia be able to stream its own videos to a Panasonic TV?
Thank you.

Heating issue of Lumia 620

Hi,
my Lumia 620 gets heated soon & it does not seem me to be normal as my roommate has also a Lumia 620 & it works okay.no heating I've seen..
what is this??

Overheated would mean you can't touch the phone. I am fairly sure you mean to say it gets warmer.
If it get's too hot to hold you obviously have an issue there and you should have the phone checked,

Lumia 620 - Over sensitive screen, is this a fault...

Hi
In certain situations the screen on my lumia 620 will turn mega sensitive. It will detect my thumb above the screen and input letters and characters I am not touching. Sometimes it will even input letters on the bottom row when my thumb is over the top row, or it will think I am long pressing- and I will get accented characters pop up as if I am holding the key.
Locking and unlocking usually solves it, but just now it did it twice In a row. Is this a fault, or just a quirk?

It is generally on the onscreen keyboard that is affected. It becomes impossible to type when it suddenly registers every movement of my thumb- as if I am dragging across the screen, when I am not. Do you imagine this to be a hardware fault?
