Lumia 920 battery max 6% and empty in a few minute...

Hi,
Yesterday I received my new Lumia 920 (32GB black). But I have problem.
The battery won't charge further than 6%. Even not if it is plugged to its original power adapter for 8 hours. Also not when trying to charge the battery with usb on computer. With that 6% battery I can use my 920 (with adapter attached) on all minimum settings just only for about 5 minutes. Then it will be empty and have to wait a long time before it has a bit power again. (My battery and adapter are not getting hot like another topic about batteries.)
Please help, What do i have to do!??
Thanks for help.

    I have my yahoo mail as my mail account on my mac mini.  While I am reading my emails, I keep having to give my yahoo password and "sign in" every few minutes.   What is going on?

    Network errors can cause the password dialog.
    The correct answer to a Mail.app password dialog is almost always cancel, too.

    Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

    try resetting your phone by turning it off and back on again. The servers may still be having a hard time keeping up, so you may just need to wait a little while and try again.

  • Lumia 920 battery life suddenly changed

    Hi, everyone. I am a newbie here. I had my red 920 since 11/9 and it has been great until this Tuesday. Previously the battery was great and after full charge it usually showed battery life 1day or even longer. This Tuesday I used camera a lot. The handset did get warmer because of flash and focus assist lamp. After that night the battery darin rate became really fast. After one overnight charge 100% battery only shows 9hours and drain rate was like 10% per hour. Any one has suggestions why this occured suddently? Do I need to reset the phone to factory?
    Thanks a lot

    Hi
    I had similar issue I went to Microsoft store,they didn't understand the problem.
    they said background tasks, WiFi,location service etc. Everything was offline.
    The issue started after December patch update.
    The system keeps dropping signal very often and it tries to reconnect to 4G and LTE making battery drain, This is as per the Tech at Microsoft store...
    Use wall charger for 3-4 hours. That helps. Also let the battery drain to less than 10% and charge , Turn of all your background tasks that helps...
    No word from Nokia yet., Wireless charger doesn't work well.
    Also when i tried logging in from Lumia 920 to post this message, the popup login on the sign in doesnt work. Also when you post the scrolling doesnt work really well like on the desktop. Not sure if its the site issue or IE10 issue
    The Spell check for Lumia is still not fixed. it suggested Aluminia... can some mod from Nokia put in a request to fix this ?
    Regards

  • Lumia 920 battery life issue

    I have a small battery queries on my phone, Lumia 920. The phone is new, I am approx. 1 month of goes perfectly, only last night I noticed a strange thing, I say. I had to hang up (shutdown) because I was in a medical practice with 12% battery status. After about 2 hours we reopened (power on) and found that my battery status shows 74%. And went so until the next recharge, about 36 hours. It is normal to happen? Thanks in advance.

    It is not normal but it can happen. Battery meters are very approximate and readings are based on output voltage which can sometimes temporarily dip or rise due to use. 
    You can minise the discrepancy by calibrating the meter. This is done by running the battery down and then charging till full without interruptions. 

  • Nokia Lumia 920 wont open applications and hot

    I've had my nokia lumia 920 for 4 months now and really liking it. In the last few weeks it has begun to misbehave.
    Basically when browsing internet or using apps the back of the phone gets quite hot and then when I try and open things like messaging or people or something lile that I get a black screen with "resuming" displayed and then the it simply returns to the home screen again. The strange thing it does not happen when I am calling someone or someone calls me. It seems apps not opening starts when the phone is getting hot and the only way to resolve it to restart. All this happens within 10-15mins of use.
    I know people have mentioned that some apps causing problems skype being one of them, but i dont have a great deal of apps just the usual stuff facebook, ebay, twitter etc.
    Does anyone else have this problem, is it hardware or software related, like i said my phone has been fine up until a few weeks ago would appreicate any feedback people may have on how to resolve.

    I had exactly the same problem, 4month old 920 that suddenly started playing up. I ended up doing a factory reset (down vol + power, then down, power,down,up or something similar). So no extra apps and the same problems, I would do around 6 soft resets followed by a factory reset a day before I gave in and took it to O2 for repair at the weekend.
    Whenever I got the black screen, (clock top right) and resuming displayed, the battery got really hot. After factory reset the battery cooled down but the remaining percentage had dropped by about 10%. I tried a factory reset and not putting my SIM back in but same deal. The only apps on it were the factory ones so I'm still not sure what causes the problem. Hopefully it will come back fixed and not just have a factory reset.
    If the repair engineer explains what the problem is I will let you know.

  • Nokia Lumia 920 from AT&T and the 8.1 update

    First of all will the Nokia Lumia 920 from AT&T get the 8.1 update or will it have already been considered EOL? Also when will the 920 from AT&T get the 8.1 update and whatever update is included with that from Nokia?
    Stephen J. Mayer

    “Windows Phone 8.1 will become available for […] every Lumia […] running Windows Phone 8 […] in a [firmware] package called Lumia Cyan – starting this summer.” When Lumia Cyan is available for your Nokia Product Code, you get a notification on your phone automatically (see Menu » Settings » Phone Update).

  • My Macbook Air will start and then after a few minutes the HDD fills up with 29Gigs and I have to reboot!

    when i run my macbook in safe mode it is perfect fuctionality and shows 29 gigs free space of the 120 total of the flash drive, however, when i start normal it works good for the first few minutes and then i get the startup disk is full error message and then it will momentarily lock up. I turned off the time machine which has been locking up since April 25th, and it will also act "glitchy" while it is working for the time until the storage is full pops up.
    I have erased tons of stuff and have almost 30 gigs free, but then it just fills up - is this a virus?? HDD issue?? I have had no problems until recently with one time the computer locked up and it has gotten worse over time - i am open to suggestions - thank you

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • I have just upgraded to IOS 7 and for some reason iMessage and face time will not work. It asks me for my Apple ID username and password and when I enter then it tries to sign in and then after a few minutes comes up with cannot activate try connection ?

    I have just upgraded my iPad to iOS 7 and now FaceTime and iMessage will not allow me to sign in. I enter my appl I'd and password but after a few minutes I get a message to say cannot activate try network connection then try again no matter how many times you do this it will not sign in. Any thoughts ?
    Thanks neil

    try resetting your phone by turning it off and back on again. The servers may still be having a hard time keeping up, so you may just need to wait a little while and try again.

  • Droid 4 battery reporting 90% then dying within a few minutes.

    I have a droid 4 for about a month now, but lately it has just been dying for seemingly no reason. When I plug it in it shows batter at 5 percent. When I start it up it shows battery at 90%. Then it dies a few minutes later. I think when android is on I can't trust the battery reading. Do I need to replace the phone?

    You most certainly shouldn't lose battery signal so rapidly, flagrant99.
    Is there anything that was recently added to the Droid 4 that could deplete the battery life? Have you installed a battery saving application from the Play Store?
    Is the phone charging normally? Are you using the wall charger vs. USB charger?
    Here are some battery saving tips that you can use, but it honestly sounds like we may need to replace the battery for you as long as it hasn't been exposed to any liquid or physical damage.
    If you'd like, I can ship the battery to you or you can go to a store to get a replacement (if they have them in stock).
    If you want me to send it, feel free to DM me with your name/number.

  • Can't get rid of ads popping up and open up every few minutes.

    Every few minutes i get pop up ads and/or windows that open and play music or videos. I can't get rid of this and it's using all of my internet and slows it down a lot.

    You should check with a mal- / adware scanner.<br>
    There are several scanners for example Malwarebytes or CCleaner.<br>
    I myself like and use Malwarebytes, see for info and free download https://www.malwarebytes.org/

  • ITunes on new Macbook Air is slow and laggy after a few minutes. What could be causing this?

    I recently updated from PC to a 2013 Macbook Air i5 with an upgraded 8GB of memory and I copied over my iTunes library. However, when I've been using iTunes for a few minutes (specifically after editing the info of one of more songs), it gets very laggy and slow. I then have to quit iTunes and re-open it for it to run smoothly again. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

    Ignore all other sounds except at time frame  3 to 5 seconds in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0edpFdRZyFo
    If your macbook is making that noise being woken from sleep mode, its normal and the noise of the laser tray. in the superdrive resetting, disk or no disk.  (ignore the fact the video says 2010 macbook, superdrive makes the same sound).
    Is that the noise you are hearing?
    Ah yes, heres  the SMS sensor sound >  is that it? 
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66xMoTEFH7Q
    Thats a protection sound of the HD heads parking themselves to protect the HD from damage.  Are you moving the Macbook at all when you hear the sound?
