Lumia 720 screen cracked

Dear Nokia Support team,
couple of questions on Nokia Lumia 720
- does the screen crack after falling from 3 ft given it is made out of gorilla glass?
- can this be covered in the warranty? my device is just about 8 months old, and performing quite well, but this screen crack has not been a pleasant user experience
Look forward to hearing from you
thx

Hi, this is mainly a user to user trouble shooting forum, but employees might drop by - however there's no guarantee.
However, I can answer this for you. Gorilla glass are not crack/shatter proof. Gorilla glass are tougher against scratches, but not even scratch proof.
So with the right speed, right angle and right surface it will break when dropped.
Cracking your screen from dropping it will not be covered by warranty unfortunately. You will have to pay for a repair/screen replacement.

Nokia Lumia 720 screen cracked =(

Kinda disappointed.. Thought it would be a lot tougher and it was just brand new.
Can it be fixed? Can the screen be replaced? Please someone reply, I'm really unhappy about the situation. I live in the Philippines BTW.
Solved!

Sorry to know .. But Yes, it can be fixed. Contact your local Nokia Care for more details on the cost ( as it will not be covered under warranty) as well as availability of the parts..

Lumia 720 screen retain impression of last visited...

Lumia 720 screen reatain impression of last visited page (if the I keep my screen turned on and keep the last visited page open for 3-5 minutes). The impression slowly disappear after 5-10 minutes if I switch to different page. Is this normal, because I have never seen something like this with any other phone?

Had the exact same problem with my Lumia 720 screen — the tiniest conceivable crack in the corner, and terrible screen jitters predating that. Went to Nokia Care and they told me the same thing they told you: broken, therefore out of warranty. And they quoted a fantastic price for part replacement. They wanted to replace the LCD and the digitiser. What I've been told to try, and I will just now at an independent repair shop (regardless of whether it voids the warranty, of which there's four months left), is to replace just the digitiser, because the LCD itself appears to work fine. This is much cheaper. Will tell you if that works — but in the meantime, what did you do with your 720 ultimately, and did it work?
Thanks.

Nokia Lumia 630 screen cracked

My 3day old Lumia phone screen cracked on it's own.service centre says it is physical damage.but it is manufacturing defect.they don't understand my point at all. Very poor quality screen &utterly useless service centre.

Welcome to the gang. I got my 720 repaired at own cost from Nokia. Breakage is not covered under warranty. After that many more problems started cropping up like button malfunction etc.
When i returned to Nokia for a check up as it was under warranty. Nokia refused stating that if a screen is repaired the warranty is void. (Sent via Paragon telelinks, Thane, India) to Nokia for repair.
So think 2 times before you spend 50 % of phone cost in sreen repair.
Thanks

Lumia 720 Screen problem

My Nokia Lumia 720 has been behaving strangely for a few weeks now. I can turn on the phone but then when I try to enter my PIN number the screen will not allow me to. The screen jumps around erratically. I've tried doing a soft reboot & a hard reboot with no real success. I've done some research on the internet look on Nokia forums to find a solution and I've come to learn that other people are experiencing the exact same problem. Last week I had an accident with my phone, it fell out of my hand and cracked the screen. It was a very small crack on the corner of the screen (the black part of the screen) The phone still works apart from the issue I had before the phone fell. I've just gotten back from a Nokia Care Centre in Bellville, Cape Town called Cellectro. The technician of the store had a look at the phone and suggested i have the phone's screen replaced at a cost of R1900 (One Thousand Nine Hundred Rand) before he can check if the phone's hardware is faulty....That don't make much sense to me because I had the problem before the phone fell. Please advise what I can do to fix the problem.

Nokia Lumia 520 screen cracked

I love my Nokia Lumia 520 but very disappointed with the thin glass on the screen. I fell over on the path and had my phone in my hand therefore when I fell over the phone screen cracked and now the touch will not work but the LCD is fine, the screen still lights up. I'm on waiting for a new screen so I can replace it myself but like I said seriously disappointed! I got this phone in June for my birthday and then one mistake it just cracked.
Solved!

Hi, josphatchoge13. To verify, those issues occured right after receiving your phone from the Nokia Care Point, is that correct? If so, did you try informing the technicians about it? By the way, are you also having issues with your SMS, MMS, mobile data connection, and voicemail? About not playing any sound, this happens regardless of what task you're doing on the phone which requires sound, right? If you have tried any troubleshooting steps, can you tell us what are they? We look forward to your reply. By the way, we're glad to see you in the forum again.

Nokia Lumia 520 - Screen Cracked, Touch Screen not...

The other day I accidentaly dropped my 520 in the street. The screen has a large thin crack from the top left corner to about the middle right of the screen. I can live with the crack, it's barely noticable, as it looks like a hair on the screen. However, the touch screen doesn't work either, which is quite a problem.
I've looked online and I have seen Screen Digitizers, which I believe are the glass screens which contain the touch technology. However, will I need to order anything else?

i have had my nokia lumia for 6 months and the screen cracked randomly in my coat pocket the other day,
as its touch screen i cannot use it at all.
I went back to carphone warehouse and they said i should contact nokia for help.
He also said the phone isnt a high end phone and doesnt have gorilla glass like the iphones.
I was a bit annoyed to hear that as i had assumed all phones had toughed glass and they recommened I just buy a new phone.
I have found a nokia care point in the area and
"It’s great when things work perfectly.
And it’s good to know you’ve got back up if they don’t.
That’s why we offer our 24 month warranty to everyone with a Nokia handset. It means you can carry on with your life without worrying about your phone.
And if something does go wrong, there’s always help at hand…" this is taken from the website "nokia care centre".
im going to see if they will fix it.
I dont think nokia should be selling them if they break randomly or soo easily.

Lumia 720 screen freezes

I am facing a touch problem on my nokia lumia 720. it freezes the screen when i press power key it gets back to normal. I have already hard reset the device. but the problem happens randomly so i cant show to nokia care representatives.

5 weeks after buying the 620 my wife's phone shut down inexplicably and would not respond to any normal buttons, charging etc. She did not know how to soft reset, took off the back cover, removed the battery, replaced it, and in trying to put the cover back on the (gently) the screen cracked and became completely unusable (the digitizer doesn't work).
Sent back through AIO wireless for warranty at AIO's recommendation... as this is her only phone we got a pay as you go which so far has cost us $70 in usage. AIO tells me today Ingram Mobility is sending back the broken phone - physical damage is not covered under warranty - oh but screen freezes, lock ups, unresponsive phones are covered under warranty.
$200 for the phone - now busted, $70 for the temporary replacement, and now I should buy another Nokia phone??
Is there any help from nokia on these issues? Unbelievable.

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/.
If you have other questions, just let us know.

Lumia 720 screen issue

Does nokia care change my Lumia 720 screen

Hi, you're at MS/Nokias user to user forums and you're giving little on what's your problem other than you ask if Nokia care will replace your screen.
If it's within the warranty period and it's a warranty case they will replace the screen free if needed.
If its out of warranty and/or you have caused the screen to malfunction or break by dropping it etc, you will have to pay for the replacement screen/repairs.
A Nokia care point will however be able to answer you on this question.
Good luck!

Nokia Lumia 720 screen hooked

What can I do. I have been having difficulty calling with my Lumia 720. The screen will just be stuck. I could neither scroll up or down, until I remove the battery and start all over again. This is getting embarrassing for me. I need an urgent response on what to do. My likeness for the phone is weaning.

Next you remove the battery, leave it out for at least 10 seconds and see if that helps. Does it still happen if you remove the sim? You could also try resetting your phone. Be sure to backup your data beforehand.

Lumia 720 screen freeze

Hi my new Lumia 720 sometimes freeze up and only way out is a reset..... Any tips please? Is this a known issue? Is there any fix update planned to be released?

Hello Musica,
Thanks for the Prompt Reply.
I'll explain in neat how this happened.
OCCURENCE 1: The first day
1. I purchased my mobile on April 20'th, which is just 2 days after it was released to stores in India.
2. That day night i just tried Wifi, contacts, people hub etc and was going well till then.
3. I wanted to change brightness settings so, i was checking auto, low, high etc. I set it to Low, Then Locked the phone using the button on the side. After a minute i wanted to open up the Camera by pressing on the shutter button (when the phone is still in the locked condition). I did not see any camera opening up. I then tried to Unlock the screen and it dint. I tried almost everything, volume up, down etc.. nothing happened.
I tried to connect the USB cable to the Phone and access it through laptop, and gracefully i saw that the folders appearing on the browser. Hence i confirmed that the phone had power supply and some part of it is still running.
Please note that this just happened as i said 1) change screen brightness - changed few times between options, and finally settled down to Low 2) Locked the screen 3) Tried to Open camera by press and hold Shutter button of camera. -> Thats it after that i was not able to see anything on the screen.. The screen was clear Black and even the windows and other two icons below did not glow for any operation i did..
I had to reset the phone to get something on the display back again.
And clearly to say that - This Problem is not re-producible in the same way again.
OCCURENCE 2: 4-5 days later(This time luckily i dint want to restart, plase read below)
1) I was in the "settings" menu searching something on the settings. I think i set the wifi on and came back to the settings main view.
2) assuming wifi was on, i wanted to go back and open browser, so i press the back key and nothing happened. Still the settings menu was showing up.
3) So i thought it was stuck and tried to click something on the settings. Neither a touch nor any sort of selection was not accepted. instead the screen Freezed in the same Settings menu.
4) NOW, i just randomly tried few moves on the screen just to try wake it up. And i found a glimpse of LOCK SCREEN coming down from the top (i think) in a slow motion (unusual than the normal appearance).
5) Now i have the lock screen infront of me, and i slowly slide it up as usual. The phone was unlocked and then i had the settings menu there which now resumed working.
This was strange to me as a Software Programmer to realize why the lock screen appeared on the fist place and why was the settings menu first was not responding.
Please note that this time i dint have to restart the phone luckily.
OCCURENCE 3: Seven days later after the purchase
1. Installed photosyth. Took a photosynth capture
http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=0b887c2e-aa42-4491-9c60-4d0fd43e6356
2. If you see this photosynth image, in some place you will note a Green Color like coating sort of a paint on just the left of the church View. It sort of covers the leaves like a thin green Film.
3. Please note - that was the last frame i shot in the Photosynth lens before i continued to stitch.
4. Stitching complete and the image was just as you see in the above photosynth Link.
5. After this i wanted to use camera normally, and when i do so, i see everything as "that green color" which appears in the photosynth image that i mentioned. i closed Camera and opened it again from the start menu, and NO... Still it was the same green. I wasnt able to see any objects that i aim. Fully green.
6. Left with no options, but in a hurry to take a picture, i had to restart the device..
These are the just three occurences that i had during these 10 days after purchase.
I tried hard later on to test the device by trying the same things, but never happened. I am particularyly bothered ONLY about the issue 1 & 2. Third issue is definely because of PhotoSynth causing something. May be it didnt flush anything out of the camera buffer memory.. or dont know what exactly made that green there in the image and later on the full viewfinder...
The device otherwise works exceptionally well and hence i dint want to immediatly go and check with Nokia Care, because the problem was not perfectly re-producible.
==> What do you think? I certainly feel that it could be a software issue with 1 & 2?
1) Would you be interested in some logs in case the issue occurs again?
2) If the issue occurs again, and i just take the phone immediately to Nokia Care, should i suggest something to them on Your behalf so that they dont try to diagnose something wrong? Because if they reset it, reproducing the issue is hard.
3) Do you think i would need to ask Nokia Care to run any diagnostic tests for "this specific issue"? Do you have such a test available & instructed to all Nokia Care Engineers?
Please suggest. Rest all things in the phone are fine and its absolutely smooth. Even if i exchange, i dont have guarantee / rather convinced that this issue will popup again in the new phone (if at all). So i want to know the root cause before i exchange so that it does not appear again in the new phone.
Thanks,
Binny.

Nokia Lumia 720 screen has black patches within on...

Hi,
There is a major concern in the case of my Nokia purchase with respect to the below issues
1) Quality of product
I bought my Nokia Lumia 720 from an online retailer and in a week, I discovered there is a black area on the screen which became very obvious in the white backgorund (I couldn't notice it earlier because Windows mainscreen uses colored tiles on black background). Please see the picture attached.
Just in a week ? Or maybe it's a manufacturing defect
2) Quality of Customer service level and support
I reported this immediately to the Nokia Customer care through an email and they asked me to take to the customer care centre. I wrote them stating my concerns and if I can get a replacement. They didn't discuss it and just asked me to visit the Nokia Care.
Having submitted it at a service centre in Bangalore, India, they were clueless about the issue as it was their first experience with Nokia Lumia 720.
They concluded that the battery has bulged and they need to further investigate. And they tried to put blame on me assuming I might have put the device in water, over charged it or if I fiddled with the battery
I've not done any of the above and I told them, for users the battery is not removable
They argued that it is possible to remove because they could remove. I told them, fine but I haven't
They informed me they'll update me.
Only after I enquired two days later (they haven't bothered to contact me), they have sent the device to the headquarters in Delhi and will take 10 days minimum. And I'll have to pay for repair
Pay for the repair ?
What I can't take it is they told there would be an amount charged for the repair.
3) Fairness of treatment / Customer satisfaction
It's been one week since I purchased the mobile, I'd sent out my first email bringing up this issue. I've paid full money to purchase this. I've already informed that I have not taken my device near water or over charged it or dropped it. It has been a very normal usage.
I've co-operated in every possible way. And if the device is found damaged in a week, shouldn't it be replaced ?
I had raised the same concerns via email but I've stopped getting any response from email specialists at nokia care after an initial reply.
I'm worried because there is a similar description of the issue in the following video and the person got an immediate replacement
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYsK0c-wXvI
Since I bought it from an online retailer, I had no option but to visit the Nokia Care.
I'm feeling like a fool as I purchased a Nokia in 2013 much against the popular opinion of getting a Samsung or an Apple.
Will I get a replacement ?

Black Patch on Nokia Lumia 720.jpg ‏876 KB

So far I am thingking it is a heap of junk.
Any Ideas?
