Lumia 820 storage drain

i have 820 and free space on phone keeps disappearing, and it says that my settings app "weight" 1.5GB and increasing. My friend has exactly the same 820,and his setting app is only 98MB (adding screenshots). so i want to know what the hell is happening with this phone? and p.s. yesterday phone had 500mb free space, & i did update extras+info's app (+-40mb) and now i have 5 to 80mb free space, it even doesnt show the real space sometimes... the phone also wants more free space for software update (470) but how the hell should i get such numbers when the phone is almost empty but still shows that he's full... and the second one of the popular bug's im countering is music duplicates, almost all of the songs has duplicate and not only one,some of songs which has not duplicate are even not working at all... and after some time they just dissapears... oh yeah,not only music duplicates, photos too(not from camera roll)... i think those phones are not completed or should i say the OS is not completed as half of microsoft products....
questions: what are the fixes for:
settings app free space drain
music duplicates REAL FIX (i tried few,helped for month)
photos duplicate..

Lumia 820 battery drain after "Black" update

Hi all,
Yesterday I finally received the black update on my NL820. After applying the update successfully I charged the phone to %100. Before I went to bed I had:
Battery at %94
Wifi - Off
Data services - Off
Location services - Off
Bluetooth - Off
Battery Saver - On
This morning I wake up and it is unusually bright outside - the phone powered off, the alarm didn't go off and I overslept for work. I haven't touched any other settings after the update. Everything is the way I used it before. What is it that could drain a battery in the space of 8 hours from almost full to power off? I've had this happen on the same phone twice prior to the upgrade as well but then I thought I've forgot data services on or something. This time I'm sure everything was off.
Please advise.
Martin

I have been using Lumia 820 since 1 year and have never faced any issues. But after the recent "black" update... my mobile battery drains out within few hours after i charge it 100%. I have to charge it 3-4 times in a day ..
1. I dont have any GPRS connection.
2. I use wifi at home (only evenings). The rest of the day.. I use it only for calls and texts.
3. I have tried hard reset, but that dint help.
4. After hard reset, I dint update my mobile software.
I charge it till 11pm and when I wake up at 5 am .. I see the mobile is switched off and I cant depend on the alarm to wake me up . That makes me so nervous.
Please bring out some solution to this problem. It is so irritating to charge the mobile for so many times in day.

Lumia 820 / battery drain while charging

I have the Lumia 820 with the Navigon navigation app installed. I went on a trip this past weekend and noticed a strange battery drain while driving to my destination. The drive was a little over 2 hours and I was charging the phone the whole time. I figured I would test it on the drive home. I charged the phone completely before starting the drive home. I was camping so I had to use the lighter jack in the car which is always on and charged the phone from less then 10% to 100% overnight. Again the drive was a little over 2 hours, had the Navigon app open and running the whole time and the phone was plugged into the lighter and the charging icon was registering a charge the whole time. The only other thing running was cellular data. NFC, Bluetooth, Wifi, Nokia Drive, all off. When I arrived home the phone was at 45% and was very hot.
I upgraded from the Samsung Focus and using the Navigon app in the same car never ever had less power when I I ended a trip to when I started a trip. I use the Navigon app all time so this is a real issue. I am also going to post this on the Navigon website.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I didn't have any problem with charging the phone, but I have another problem with the battery, I noticed that sometimes my battery started to drain so fast (I mean from 100 to 10 in less than 2 hrs!!!), even when I'm not using the phone! and when I pick the phone the area on the right hand side of the rear camera (which I believe the CPU located) is warm (it's not hot but warmer than rest of the phone). I managed my background tasks, etc. but didn't work. It seems that there is bug which sometimes the OS won't release (terminate) the processes (even after closing the app). I tried turn the phone on/off but didn't work until uninstalling the last application that just installed or opened. It happened 3-4 times and the last one was today when I opened my Nokia Music. At first I thought may be it's because of the 3G usage, but even after switching to the X-Box music to stream from my Micro-SD card the battery was draining fast.

Lumia 820 Storage Issues

My 820 refuses to clear 1.6GB of temporary files and says that there's 2.7 GB of music and pictures on it, yet I have moved all my media to the 16GB card and when checking on the PC, it says that there are no files there. I'm running low on phone storage and I'm having to delete apps in order to download new apps.
I've been told that the only way to solve the issue is to factory reset, although of course I'd rather not start again unless I have to.
Any ideas?
Thanks

WP8.1. on Lumia 820 is permanently synchronising G...

Hello,
My Windows Phone 8.1 at Lumia 820 is draining my battery. I think I found the cause: it is permanently synchronising one of the Google accounts I've set up. As it is syncing I can't open the account nor remove it - let alone edit the settings of the account. The other Google account is creating no such issue. I can't find anything weird in the settings of the Google account itself.
My Lumia 820 is fully up-to-date it says.
What can I do?

Which is of course something I would have liked to avoid. However, it seems to be the only thing left as the soft reset didn't work either

How to set storage location in Nokia lumia 820 for...

Hi,
I would like to know if and how to define the storage location in my Nokia lumia 820.
I have recently purchased a micro SD card by Kingston and would like to download and install apps, like games who require more storage then my Nokia 820 supports(8GB).
I saw that the only available option set is to choose the the storage for music + videos and pictures from settings/phone storage but no option set could be found for the apps or others.
Please help me with some guidelines or with a proper workaround as I tried unsuccessfully to find the understanding for this in various resources.
Thank you for considering my request.

Lumia 820 major Battery Drain issues

Having used my Lumia 820 since last December it has been great but in the last 2 months I've suddenly found my Battery draining really fast. I replaced the battery thinking as it is 7 months old and I am not the best at charging properly it might have an issue but the new battery is exactly the same immediately.
I've isolated it to two things - playing Music via Audiocloud or Nokia Music (triples battery usage such that 75-80 minutes of playing flattens my battery, and using Here Maps route navigation which give about 60 minutes before flattening a fully charged battery. On a recent road trip even with the phone being plugged into a charger the whole trip several times the phone switched off as all power drained.
Any suggestions?

No they aren't. Any application / Game or other such thing that requires higher processing power will result in generating more heat thereby making the phone felt somewhat WARM and will also drain the battery relatively quickly. Only if the phone is getting HOT, you may get the device inspected by Nokia Care technician ..

Lumia 820 Music Sync issue.

I installed 16GB micro SDHC card into my Lumia 820 and set as default for music and pictures. I try to sync music between my mac and phone. But the end of the sync, error message comes up which says all the music can't be copied. When I check the storage section on my phone. Music and video shows 0 and seems like all the music is in "Other" section. Couldn't see anything under "Music". Tried Google and can't find any solution. Please anybody can help me. Thanks a lot.

I have also experienced the same issue and wasted about 4 hours of my life yesterday attempting to deal with it.
Music syncing to SD is horribly broken on the 820, on both 1232.2109.1242.1001 (original) and 1232.5951.1249.1003 (portico) firmwares.
I have ended up in a state where I have had to factory reset to fix the mess on 2 occasions now, on both original and portico firmware. This issue is definitely not fixed in portico.
For some obscure reason, particularly when using the desktop sync app, if it fails and tries again the music app gets very confused and displays an array of duplicates. If you perform an SD card format whilst in this state, the music app still 'thinks' that some of the music is still there and displays it as such. The only way to fix this erroneous display is to factory reset, which is far from ideal.
A workaround to the duplicate issue is to *not* use the desktop Windows Phone app, which seems to be horribly broken.
The Metro app often says that it 'Cannot copy the file to your phone' but it actually has without any issues, go figure.
I also noticed that some SD cards simply don't work properly in the 820.
I firstly tried a brand new Samsung 32GB which intermittently stopped working when syncing, dragging and dropping, and downloading on the phone causing the store to refuse to open necessitating a reboot.
I'm currently using a Transcend 8GB which does not exhibit that problem.
I tested the Samsung on my PC and it works fine, but I returned it to Amazon as faulty and exchanged it with a Sandisk 32GB, so I'll see what happens with that when it arrives I guess.
I don't know if this is a Nokia issue or a Microsoft issue. But someone needs to step up and fix this, because a 'switcher' from another platform will return the device immediately.
I've been a Windows Phone user for some time (Omnia 7, Lumia 800, then 820), but seriously, this issue was really making me consider my choice of platform.
Music syncing to SD *needs* to work and it needs to work reliably.

WP8 Nokia Maps Lumia 820 - Offline Maps Can't Dele...

Hello,
I have a Nokia Lumia 820 with approximately 1GB of memory free.
I am trying to download an offline map (approximately 150 MB) but I am always getting an error stating: "Not Enough Room, you need at least 1,137 MB of free space on your phone to get this map".
I get the same message when I try to delete a previously downloaded map!
Anyone had this issue before? Any help wuld be appreciated.
Thanks.

Go to Solution.

One year later, this bug is still around: Nokia Lumia 1520 (1028.3562.1402.0001) with HERE Maps 3.5.486.8.
In our German section, there is a guess, this relates to ‘maximum memory use’ (quota) which we all know from our Symbian days until Nokia Maps 3.01. It looks like the quota is fixed at 50%. Or stated differently: If your map data is larger than the remaining free memory, you get this error. or stated correctly: If your remaining free memory gets smaller than your existing map data, you get this error.
Therefore, my solutions are:
to remove a very large country like Russia or China,
(three dots, horizontal ellipsis) Options » Delete all maps, or
to use a memory card and Lumia storage check beta.
The beta version still works on my Lumia Black. Because the now included Storage Check does allow Maps on memory card, you still need that beta. And because you cannot search and find that app from the internal Windows Store, you have to enter the above link into the Internet Explorer within your Lumia – or you download and install the XAP file manually.
Consequently, to download the whole HERE world, one needs a 64 GB memory card.

Facebook Notifications Delayed - Lumia 820

Hi all,
I am experiencing a very weird problem with my phone (lumia 820).
My facebook notifications at times work fine, but many times randomly alert me on the top of the lock screen (ring tone and all) of notifications I read or checked days ago. It is starting to bug me as I keep thinking they are notifications that are recent and actually need checking.. but they wouldn't be. I am always connected to a 3G network and never use wifi as it drains too much of the battery life plus I do not need it since i find 3G enough.
Please let me know about any sort of quick fixes i can do to try solve this problem. Also let me know if anyone else if experiencing this problem too!
thanks!

Notifications for FB can be sporadic.
Same thing happens if you dont read gmail,you keep getting notification.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Lumia 820 - Offline Map data on SD card

I have same problem on my Lumia 820. Other map applications also failed. After trying many quick options i then used Nokia Software Recovery Tool to reinstall the phone software (latest black version). Here Maps and Drive did then work but I found it was not accessing map files from the SD drive (settings back to original defaults). I then used Lumia Storage Check app to try and change map storage from phone to SD card. Then when trying to check the maps using the same app I found it would tell me overall folder size of map folder but not show me the list of maps stored. I then went back to the Here Maps app and found it was again no longer working. Changing the default storage back to phone using the Storage Check app immediately solved the problem. Therefore it looks like the problem is caused by the Lumia Storage Check App and/or the SD card. My next step - and I know almost nothing about the technology here - I tried to clear the map files from the SD card in case they were corrupted. I could not do this as the files were write protected. However i was able to delete one subfolder. I then went back to Lumia Storage Check and again set map storage to my SD card and again tried to look at the map files listed using the app. To my surprise it started working and the list of country maps on the SD card appeared. Also the Here Maps and Drive+ appsare now working with the storage set to the SD card. Other mapping software eg Run The Map is also now working. Given my explanation above perhaps someone with real technical knowledge can provide a proper explanation and solution.

Sounds like the memory card itself is corrupted. Please,
format your card via Nokia Lumia » Menu » Settings » Phone Storage » tap on the card » (at the bottom of the screen) format SD card.
install the latest version of the Lumia storage check beta …
open not the Settings but Nokia Lumia » Menu » Lumia storage check » (swipe right) Details » Maps change » Store maps on SD card
touch the button maps below and install the desired countries
This works here for my Nokia Lumia 820 with Nokia Black.

Lumia 820 crashing (?) frequently

Hi!
I own a Lumia 820 and I'm pretty happy with the phone but I have one issue.
Sometimes the phone just stops working. This happens when it's fully charged, when it almost has no charge, when it's been turned on for hours or days, I don't see any pattern, it just happens randomly and it's very annoying.
It never happened while I was using, only when the screen goes off after innactivity.
Basicaly the screen is black, and the phone doesn't respond at all to any input. I have to disconnect the battery, connect it again and turn it on again.
The phone is fully updated and has no other issues.
How can I solve this? It's pretty tricky to try and go to the Nokia store to activate the warranty since I can't really demonstrate the issue at my own will.
Thank you

But now I dont have the Amber updates... I try to update the phone but it says it's already up to date...
Hello MMaia, i think you do have the Amber update, but what you dont have are the Nokia uodates such as "extras and info" "glance" "storage check" etc.and until you have these it wont show up in "extras & info" that you actually have the Amber update. If you have the "Smart Cam" app installed try and open it, if it works it means you have the Amber update installed, if you dont have "Smart Cam" installed try downloading it from the store, if it lets you download the app this also means that Amber update is installed. And finally you should get a notification soon that that there are updates available,these will be the Nokia updates you are missing.

Nokia Lumia 820

My Lumia 820 is a week old, issue i am facing is my phone does not power off. It says slide down to exit, goodbye but comes back on again.
can someone pls help

hi mate,
have you checked that you are fully up to date with all the latest Nokia system apps from the Store, and that you have Portico update for WP8 installed? if you are, then try performing a soft reset (taking the battery out), or if that doesnt work, then a hard reset (Settings > About > Reset your phone). please bear in mind that a hard reset wipes everytrhing, so make a backup of all personal data first to PC and/or online storage.
failing teh above, you will need to take your phone to Nokia Care for inspection: http://nokia.com/support
