Moderator's note: We have amended the title of this post as this was moved from another thread.

Are you talking about the light that comes before you take a picture ? , thats not flash it's flash assist to let the phone Auto Focus work probably , you can turn it off from settings (Sorry i have no WP8 phone yet so i can't tell you where exactly , but other reviewers touched on this before.

Guess what, all these apps are created for iPhone, a device which does not support flash. So it should be obvious to anyone that supporting flash is not a prerequisite to developing these apps. There are apps in Microsoft store which allow you to view iPlayer, TV catchup and most online TV channels just fine on a Windows Phone 7.5 device.
While the app in question (Plex) would require a home-run server it does prove the point that it would be trivial to support Windows Phone for any of these channels.
Again, it's the BBC and others who simply choose not to support Windows Phone and not any technical reason which would make it impossible.
I know there are apps for ios, which makes sense seeing how it is popular, but leaving it out of wp8 makes no sense with less than 2% of all sales, of course no one is going to make the effort to make an app for it.
I say again, there is no technical reason to leave out the latest version of flash, seeing how it works on my n8. I shouldn't have to download apps to do the most basic of things. I am one of a big number of people who do not want / like to download apps, so why shouldn't we have access to content, that works on older devices.

Latest Nokia Camera and Nokia Camera Beta won't ta...

Did anybody noticed that the latest Nokia Camera and its beta version won't tag photos taken using smart sequence if it was not reviewed on the spot?
The previous Nokia Camera before the last update was ok. I'm not sure if this could be due to the latest Nokia Storyteller that messed up existing stories. I already uninstalled Nokia Storyteller but still face the same issue.

Nokia Storyteller Beta and Nokia Camera were both updated in the last couple of days, so it might pay to check out these and see if they resolve your issues.

Lumia 920 front camera lens distortion (not dust)

Hi community,
Have a next issue - all pictures/video from front camera are distorted on top (I can see that upper edge of camera is just covered by glass curve - so the effect I'm getting is quite annoying). I've seen couple of videos on youtube made by 920 front camera - everything is OK there. Please see attached couple of images. Is anybody else having this issue?

It was physical defect (so have no idea how your reset would help solving it) Got replacement from my carrier. Glass is flat this time - no curves on edges. So no "lens" distortion effect. Please see photos of the front camera and gorilla glass before and after replacement.

Camera Flash won't work after iOS 5 update

Okay so I had the iOS 5 beta from my friend who is a developer. My camera flash was working perfectly fine then. When I updated to the final version of iOS 5 I tried to use the flashlight and it wasn't working. I then tried taking a picture with flash on and it didn't work. It seems that the flash is completely not working. Any Suggestions?

Beta's are buggy, that's the point of the beta is to give it to people so they an file bugs.
Have you restored to the shipping iOS5 yet? Backup your data then update to iOS5 and perhaps it will be fixed.

Well, I hope you peeled off the protective covering that covers the lens? And try to focus by touching the screen to spot focus on an object or area of the picture. Try changing the settings to either spot focus or center focus? Save the setting after. Enjoy
There wasn't a protective covering that covers the lens, the phone came in a plastic wrap/bag. Also you can't alter the focus settings between center or spot focusing.
I will point out though that due to the location of the camera on the back, our sweaty palms will come into contact with the camera quite often so it's important to make sure it's clean before taking pictures.

Lumia 920 Nokia Drive + Beta My Location Freezing

Hi, first post, be gentle.
I am getting issues while using Nokia Drive + Beta, my position isn't moving when driving or taking 5 - 10 seconds to update then just freezes again.
it seems that i set destination, it finds me and my destination fine, i click start, it gives the first direction fine, i start driving and nothing, "my position" on the display doesn't move, the only way i can update it is "stop navigation" then "set destination" again where it picks up my new location.
i've ensured location services are on, location within the app is turned on, i've checked my connection is "online"...are there any other settings i should be aware of?
speed alert is off,
landmarks is off,
map colours automatic
updated maps
navigation licence is global
i am using it in a windscreen mount that grips the top and bottom of the phone with little "arms", i've tried in both landscape and portrait orientation.
bluetooth is on and hoping to be playing music at the same time eventually.
i have been having the general "freeze out" issue recently with the phone where i lock it and then it doesn't come back on without a button reset, 2 times since friday
any advice appreciated

I too had a similar issue, it was slow to update the other night when I needed GPS to find me a place my family and I were supposed to go to. I've had intermittent issues like that on my old N8 as well but I believe that was due to the network, rather than my phone.
However, now that you have mentioned that you have had to reset the device a couple of times, I suggest that you backup all your personal data first to your PC or other device, and then perform a hard reset. Ensure that you have the latest Nokia updates as well that are being pushed through the Store.
Failing that, you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care point for them to inspect, as it may be a deeper problem. To locate nearest Nokia Care: http://nokia.com/support

Lumia 920 broken flashlight?

Hi there!
Noticed today when i was going to take a picture with my Lumia 920, that the flash doesent work anymore. The flash is on.
Tryed download a "flashlight" app and see if the light would work, but its stone-dead..
Have had my 920 since late November and am overall satisfyed with it. Have experienced that the phone "freezes" and restarts as many other here also complained abouth though. Atleast 1 time per day my phone restarts.. And it about 3-5 times per day the phone completle lose services with mobile network, and it takes about 2-5 minutes until it finds reception again, all times... Strange faults, anyone got a clue?
Anyhow, about the flashlight. That counts as a warranty-fault i hope?
Best regards. FloRic

If it is due to a manufacturing defect and not misuse then it should be covered by the warranty. You could try rebooting your phone to see if that resets the flash before sending it for repair. You can reboot phone presseing and holding the vol down and power button until the phone vibrates.

Video not working in Nokia Camera (Lumia 920, Lumi...

Hi,
I've just noticed that the video function of Nokia Camera is not working.
The camera function *is* working.
Video *does* work using the standard Camera app. (so the camera _can_ take video!)
I've reset the camera, restarted a few times, still no joy.
this is for v4.5.1.7 on a Lumia 920 running Lumia Black software.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the Nokia camera app.

Beyond that, Nokia are entirely responsible for both the quality of the hardware they make and the software they provide to run it. They may choose to outsource the software creation, but they can't outsource the responsibility.
Not exactly. Nokia does not write or maintain the interface software to the MTP client in Windows Phone. This is part of the core OS and as such is the responsibility of Microsoft. The specifications clearly state the software requirements and for the most part if these are met things work as expected.
The minimum requirement is Windows XP SP3 with Windows Media Player 10. The MTP drivers are included with WMP here and in later versions of Windows are part of the OS. The software on the phone is only a client to this software and will expect the host t o be properly configured and set up to be able to communicate. It is fairly certain that in this case it is the host which is not working properly as I have myself seen multiple minimal spec system doing fine.
The point of the discussion so far was that the instigator assumed we (or I if you must) were basically saying he should update to 7 or 8 which is simply not the case. From the first response it wasmade clear what the min spec is. The phone as is is fine so there is no issue there at all. From a personal point of view I think it would benefit anyone greatly to at least upgrade to Windows 7 at least for too many reasons to mention but obviously anyone is free to stay with XP but they should not expect the rest of the world to do the same or expect indefinate support for a decade old OS. There is no current OS fo which the 10 year old version is currently still supported. The fact XP still runs most software is a testament of it's sturdyness and quality, but it will fall behind very quickly over the next few years.
Windows XP is an end of life OS for which mainstream support ended FOUR years ago and extended support will end in a year. At best it is now in maintenance mode with only critical patches being released but no further development of the OS has been done for a few years now. Windows 7 is the de-facto version of Windows now and it should be he minimal requirement for any current and future software development. XP support should be seen as a bonus.

hi mate,
have you checked that you are up to date with the latest firmware thur checking in Settings > Phone Update, and that you are up to date with all the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store? if you are, and you are still encountering problems then it appears you will need to visit your Nokia Care point for inspection of your phone.

Lumia 920 Camera won't turn on after taking out of...

Hi everyone! I have a problem with my lumia 920. Everytime I take it out of my jeans pocket, the camera won't turn on (from the side button or camera app). It'll open and show camera icons that i can't touch and then just exit out of the app. I usually have to reboot the phone (sometimes twice) and then the camera will work. Has anybody ran into this problem? I haven't reset the phone, but I don't want to because I have a lot of apps and data I don't want to lose. What should I do? Also, everytime I reboot the phone, my volume goes to 19 instead of staying at previous 30. Is this common with all windows phone? Please and thanks!

Yes I tried that and no luck. Now the camera doesn't work even after 3 reboots. I did the full reset on the phone and the phone got stuck on the spinning gears so i had to unbrick it and now I'm back and the windows start screen and the camera works. It's only a matter of time. I might have to get ANOTHER replacement device

Nokia Lumia 920: problems when playing videos on p...

Dear All,
thanks to this great support community website, I will b hopefully able to solve my prob.
Description:
my nokia lumia 920 has got the latest Win8 firmware and Lumia Amber update ( with 3 UK) but when trying to play videos on my win 7 pc's,
the actual video is corrupt or does not work properly,ie sound and slow immage processing.
I have the latest win 7 codec pack on pc and tried apps like VLC,ITunes,Windows Media Player,Nokia Media Player,Nokia Video Converter and others without success......not sure what's wrong but video were ok with my old Nokia N8......perhaps the format is not recognised??????
The fact that the pc plays the video means that format is not an issue but the quality is just terrible,video and sound.
I used both the WP desktop app to sync and dragging and/or dropping file with no difference at all.
DESPERATE,PLS HELP!!!!!!!!
Any suggestion is very much appreciated......Many thanks in advance,
Rgds, DD1

Camera resolution is low and can’t change resolution (Nokia N8 has better)
Lumia 920 is 8Mpix, N8 is 12 Mpx, that said please elaborate. I am pretty sure that you will not be able to tell which phone took a shot if I show you one and don't tell you which I used.
Navigation (Here drive + beta) not comes with traffic updates and not giving alternate routes. Yeah traffic update is in the maps but there’s no point in there (Nokia N8 has better).
HERE suite of apps is relatively new and constantly being updated. I'll come
NBA live streaming No App. And flash player not support. (IOS and Android has it) not on N8 also.
Flash is dead, not available anymore for any up to date OS. Talk to the developer of an app on bringing it to WP8
Alarm won’t work when the phone off (N8 will turn on and works)
Your N8 is never really off
Keyboard not comes with arrow (<>) keys. Can’t type a missing letter between a word, have to delete the word and type the whole thing again.
tap and hold in textbox, cursor appears, move finger (while holding) to where it needs to go
Music player app can’t close. Just pause the song.
There's an app if you feel you must remove the player. Last I checked when paused playback is stopped.
