Lumia 620 with black update - battery draining

Since the Black update my phone battery drains and phone shuts down without warning. battery saver is on! This never happened prior to the update and all my settings were as before the update and my usage habits havnt changed (minimal use)
I'm on OS Ver.8.0.10517.150 firmware: 3056.40000.1404.0001
- wifi is on (as before)
- data is off (as before)
- Location is off (as before)
Infact I do not have many of the apps I had on prior since the update did not pick up & restore my settings. The Microsoft account refused to let me log in after the update and I had to circumvent that by Adding my account thru settings which prevented my settings/apps from being restored.
Anyone else facing this issue of the battery draining and ...
is there a solution for this (other than re-installing the update which I havnt yet tried)?

Found this article on the support site and made sure I had these set. So far so good ... we'll know in the next 24 hours. I guess the update had turned on several other features I had off previously!

Nokia Lumia 925 with Black update - When low light...

The ambient light sensor doesn't seem to be correctly used in low light conditions.
In low light, with the phone "locked", just push the middle unlock button. The screen show the usual unlock screen, but at high brightness, for what seems to be a variable time (every time I do this), but not longer than 100-200 ms. Then the ambient light sensor starts to work, and reduces the display brightness.
This has only started since the black update. My Lumia 925 was working fine before, and now this display brightness problem has started. It only happens in low light conditions. If there is enough light (eg. daylight), the screen doesn't start with max brightness to begin with.
It doesn't matter if I'm using "glance" either. With this feature turned on or off, in low light conditions, this problem is the same.
I am now not using glance (I wasn't really using it before the update anyway), and I've set my screen brightness to a set value as a workaround.
OS version 8.0.10517.150
Frimware: 3051.40000.1345.1001
Hardware: 0.5.6.1
Radio: 3.2.04047.1
SOC: 8960
Solved!
Go to Solution.

So I've played with my phone more ... and I don't think there is a big problem. If I move to a room that is darker, and wait a few seconds, the phone unlock screen isn't bright when I hit the unlock button. It seems the phone now needs longer time to get used to the light conditions it is in.
Maybe the Lumia was always like this, or maybe the ambient light sensor has a slower response time now, and isn't polled as often for its reading, like it was before. More likely is that as I have been playing with the glance screen, I've been locking and unlocking quickly, while walking around. The phone hasn't had enough time to update the ambient light settings.
Interestingly, with the glance set to interval, I can still wake up the interval screen when placing my hands on the screen. I had left my phone for sometime on its own, then I lifted it up. Either my fingers or the movement triggered the glance screen to turn on. Or its has a timer as such, and just happened to turn on at this point in time ! Who knows (well I'll search for more info about the new glance settings now).
So it looks like there is no problem. Either its always been like this, and I'm testing the ambient sensor polling to the limits by pressing the unlock button often. Or the polling rate has been reduced (maybe to help increase battery life).

Issues with newest update, battery draining quickly, phone very hot

I recently updated my IOS to the newest edition. I do not know much about the techonological aspects of the phone and how it works, but I do know how to reboot the phone, reset the phone and close out all the applications so that there is no software running in the background.
Since updating the phone, I have experienced so many problems. The most unsettling one is that the phone is very very hot to the touch while it is syncing to my itunes and while it is charging.
I am not sure what is going on in the background, but currently I am in the process of studying for final exams and I don't really want to drive all the way out to see the Apple geniuses if it is something that I could possibly fix at home.
Also the battery is draining quickly as a result of whatever application is running in the background. I have turned my email off from push, it is now manual. I have also pretty much changed the setting of all the applications that use location or push for notifications because I am not sure what is making the phone run hot.
Any feedback would be amazing!
thanks

when you have a heating issue there isnt much you can really do.
To be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work.
First thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo.
If that doesn't work I would restore from backup. If that doesn't work I would restore as new. If all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one..

Iphone 4s IOS 7.0.4 update battery drain issues

I hope this gets to apple in regards to the issue of the battery drain. I have been following several discussions for the past couple of weeks and everyone seems to have some type of idea on what the problem is. I'm not a service tech or gadget know all, but I have been performing several "Nonscientific" test to see what is draining my battery.
I have a 4s that has always had good battery life. It seemed to run consistent to what was detailed in the product specs. I would only need to charge it every other day on limited use or the next day with heavy use. After updating to the latest update (IOS 7.0.4), the battery would drain in less than a day on limited use which is a couple of text, couple of email checks, 3 to 4 phone calls at less than 10 minutes each - no internet searches or game play.
So, after reading everyones suggestions in the forums and trying them, the battery still drained just as fast, if not faster. I read a post somewhere regarding “Bluetooth” constantly searching. So, I saw mine was doing the same. Someone replied to that person that it should not be the issue, as it does not use much power to run its task. (I found they were wrong)
Here is my nonscientific test, but a good one. (for the record I had nothing on in the notification center, Do not disturb off, only thing on in Privacy - location services was google maps, Siri, Yelp, and Find my phone; iCcloud was off; background app refreash was off; email fetch data was off; everything else was off)
Day 1 - I fully charged my phone several hours, I unplugged it at night before going to bed, did a hard reset to make sure every app was off, and only opened the settings app and made sure the Bluetooth was onand searching. I checked my phone 6 hours later and saw the battery drained from 100% to 56% with no usage other than just being on and in sleep mode. That would mean it drained at 7.3333 % an hour. Some would say that acceptable. - Its not when there is no usage. The battery would die in 13 hours with no usage.
Day 2 - I repeated the test (as above), but turned off the bluetooth. I checked my phone 6 hours later and saw the battery did not drain at all. I started with a 100% and battery was still at a 100% with no usage other than just being on and in sleep mode. I opened a couple of apps and closed them to prevent them from running in the back ground and noticed I lost about 2% of charge after usinging it checking an app or 2. I put it back to sleep mode and checked it again in an hour and saw it only drained 3% down to 97%. Very acceptible.
Day 3 - I repeated the test, but during regular day hours with limited use of the phone (with bluetooth off). I was back to getting close to a normal battery drain I was experiencing prior to the update. I know that IOS 7.0.4 uses a little more battery power to run as it has different features and abilities, so the battery drain was not like it was before, but a lot better.
So, my experiment concluded to me that the new update is causing the bluetooth searching to run in the back ground continuously and causing the battery to drain unacceptably fast on my phone. This is a program issue that can be fixed by Apple. I find it unacceptable to have to control my bluetooth manually, as I never had to do it before and I shouldn't have to do it now. I hope Apple will fix it soon. I‘ve been a apple product person for years, and enjoy the products, but lately they have been not been satisfactory in the phone business. I have been playing with a samsung galaxy thats looking very promising, if apple doesn’t fix the issue everyone is having, they will loose business to competitors.
Please fix the issue!

Hi Folks,
iPhone & iPad2 battery drain issue SOLVED!!!!!
I had a serious battery drain problem on THREE devices using different iOS .... it was a simple fix and had certain characteristics that you may be able to relate to ......
Devices;     16GB iPhone 4 with IOS6
                  16GB iPhone 4S with iOS7.06
                  32G iPad2 with iOS7.04
On or about Feb. 28th all three devices started to drain the battery like crazy losing about 20%/hour on the iPhones and 10%/hour on the iPad2 .... After messing around with settings, browsing forums and looking at what was common between the three devices I concluded the problem was with a single Microsoft Outlook/Live/Hotmail email account in the iOS native mail app .... I deleted the email account on all three devices (along with other unrelated Microsoft accounts on each device) and did a hard reboot (hold HOME and top LOCK button simultaniously for about 10 seconds until the apple logo appeared).
I then re-created the common Microsoft Outlook/Live/Hotmail account on all three devices in the iOS native mail app ...... SUCCESS! Now all three devices are behaving normaly with respect to battery drain ......
Hopefully this will be useful to others in this thread ..........

Unable to update my lumia 720 with Amber update

I am unable to update my nokia Lumia 720 with Amber update, even though it is available in India. Plz help me in this.

hi mate, do you have an Indian country variant 720 do you? i would check this and also liaise with Nokia Care in your country directly as to the status of the update. if the update has just been published recently, then it can take a few weeks before it rolls out as it is a phased roll-out.

Problem in updating my Lumia 620 to black

Hi,
Black update is available in my country for Lumia 620. But my phone is not getting black update. Whenever I check for update it says your phone is up to date.

@rdg4444 your phone is a Malaysia variant and after checking Availability in Asia Pacific, I can see that the 620 black update is not in distribution yet for Malaysia variant. The "Coming Soon" in availability page means that it's approved and will be in distribution in a few days.

Lumia 920 locks up with Black Update

I'm using an unlocked Rogers (Canada) phone on T-Mobile (USA). My phone had been working fine with the Amber update but as soon as I updated to Black it started hanging and acting weird. These are the symptoms:
1. If I have a device pin setup it hangs as soon as I type in the pin or if I hit the emergency call button.
2. If I don't have a pin, most apps don't start. They say they are loading but after 30 seconds or so they drop back to the start menu.
3. It never successfully reboots, I have to use the soft reset key sequence (power + volume down) to get it to restart.
4. I see missed incoming calls but the phone gives no indication when you're actually calling it.
Things I've tried:
1. Soft reset.
2. Hard reset.
3. Flash to pre Black using Nokia Software Recovery Tool. (no longer possible since it downloaded the black update this morning)
4. Restoring backup after hard reset.
5. Picking all the defaults after a hard reset.
6. Changing the region on startup after a hard reset.
7. Changing the keyboard layouts (remove some, add a bunch). This the one setting I seem to be able to get to.
8. Uninstalled all apps I could (I can't see what games are installed).
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this problem? I'm in the US and the phone is Canadian so it's going to be a pain to send it in anywhere.
Thanks!

that's really a bummer.
I went through the same thing/similar when I updated my 920 to black.
I had to hard format and use the NSRT to reinstall the firmware completely 10-12 times until it finaly took the firmware correctly.
other than that, seems you have done everything you could to troubleshoot it.

Problems on my Lumua 620 after Black update

The battery backup of Lumia 620 is really very very disappointing. I cant believe the Nokia manufactured phones will have such low battery backup. It hardly gives a backup of 7 hours. With WhatsApp, Hike and other messaging apps, data connection has to remain switched on all the time and i understand that with data connection on all the time, i cant expect a 2-3 days of backup. But at least it should give a backup of 16-18 hours. I can manage with that amount of backup. Moreover, i don't have any games on my phone and have allowed the least possible number of apps to perform background tasking, brightness is at the least, wifi and Bluetooth are swithched off except when used. So, where lies the problem??
Second, if i start chatting with some friend of mine in some app, the phone gets heated up unusually near the top of the back panel. The heat level rises alarmingly and bounds me to close the app. If the processor is so weak, then why didn't Nokia use a faster and a better processor on the phone.
Thir, the phone runs slow if i open two apps. It is really very disgusting.

Do you use an genuine Micro-SIM? Did you try the Nokia Software Recovery Tool via a Windows computer already? If the same happens after that and because this does not happen with mine, did you consider a hardware fault of your particular unit?

Lumia 620 with yahoo mail - can sync and recieve e...

hi
I have a lumia 620 and have set up email with my yahoo account - it can sync and recieve emails fine but if i try to send or reply to emails it comes up with "you need to update your account settings" anyone got any ideas? account name and password are correct so i just cant understand it
cheers
dave

iSync itself is only for syncing Contacts and Calendars to non-Apple mobile phones via a USB or Bluetooth connection. However the iSync application does provide access to a couple of settings that affect system-wide syncing.
To turn on the Sync menu, open iSync's Preferences, and then check the *Show status in menu bar* option

Contacts copy lumia 620 with broken screen

Hi,
Is there any way to get contacts copied from lumia 620 if the screenclass is broken and you can´t use the phone?
What i can do is to connect it to my pc via usb. Contacts are only in the phone not in skydrive etc.

You can't access the phone details unless the phon is unlocked when you attach it to USB. Then again contacts are not available through USB either.. If you did not sync contacts to skydrive at http://people.live.com or did not use one of the many backup tools/apps available you will not have access until your screen is replaced.
When sending the phone off for repair make sure there is a clear instruction with the phone not to reset or update it.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi timvb,
Thanks for posting here.
Where did you buy the phone? Is it tied up to a certain operator? Have you already tried going to Settings > Phone update to manually check for updates? The availability of SW updates per device model depends on your region, on the phone's variant, and on the operator's approval. When updating the phone's software, make sure that its region, date, and time settings are set correctly. This link will give you more information about SW updates: Software Update for Nokia Lumia with Windows Phone 8.
Let us know if this information has helped you.

Dead lumia 620 after software update

Hi all,
My lumia 620 is not working anymore after I installed the software update. It seems the screen does not react anymore... So I can't give in my pin code.
A few weeks ago I replaced the broken screen, and all worked perfect. Ever since I installed this damn update, it doesn't work anymore.
It's a pity, because I like this phone.
Anyone can help?
Thanks a lot!!

Who replaced the broken screen? If it was you yourself we cant help and your warranty is void!
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520

TS3899 Ios 6.1 has problem with wifi and battery drain. Want to go bac to ios 6.0

Have been having a lot of battery drain in my ipad and also intermittent wifi

Hi,
How can I Test my iPad WiFi & battery? is there a hardware test?
A real easy test...
Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A." The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC. Do NOT use an iPhone charger. Do NOT use an iPod charger. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

Last 4.3 update battery draining

until now i only got 2 maybe 3 days on my phone when i used it normaly(mostly calls, ocasional internet, viewing mail or online video) and after the last update i got 6 and a half days i took a screenshot to prove it to you.
how much did you get before and after the update? is it just me or the battery life just got better?

Topic title refers you have a battery draining problem. Next time try to select a better title. It looks you have only 1-2 hours of screen usage but yes after the update battery last longer. Before the update I was just getting 3 hours of screen usage but now I am able to get 4-5 hours of screen usage, additionally it doesn't get hot as much as it was. Thanks for the update sony

Does iOS6.1 help with the increased battery drain on iPhone 4s that iOS6.0 presented?

Does anyone know if the iOS6.1 does anything to remedy the increased battery drain on iPhone 4s that was presented with iOS6.0?

I upgraded to ios 6.1 when it first came out a couple of weeks ago and in the last 2 days am experiencing rapid battery drain...not sure if that's the cause.
