Lumia 920 screen broken + other problems

Hi,
There are many videos posted about breaking lumia 920s screen and how difficult it is.
Well, mine broke without any effort. I've had the phone for 3,5 weeks, I have NOT dropped it or hit it anywhere nor have I scratched it with anything. I woke up yesterday morning and after writing one message and closing the monitor i noticed a crack/scratch on the right side of the screen where the buttons are located on the side (volume - lockscreen). I know most of you think I've thrown the phone somewhere or dropped it, but I have not. This crack seems to be somewhat deep but very narrow, like hair.
Has anyone else expriences such things?
Today I went to the place where I bought the phone and the boy working there said that "nothing we can do, won't go to guarantee" and he based his claim on previous complaints about other smartphones. However this GorillaGlass should be sturdy, but it seems that at least in my phone it broke by itself. I have the red version of the phone bought from Finland, made in China.
On top of this, some people say when talking in the phone that my voice is coming poorly or almost not at all. This is random.
Phone also gets -very- warm if used near the camera on the back of the phone, I do not know what chip is located in there, but the heating happens when an online software is being used that requires an internet connection - either wireless or 3G.
And furthermore, the headphones didn't really work long, the right plug began working on/off and making some scratching sounds after maybe 3 hours of use and it seems to work depending on the position of the cord.
Anyway, I am wondering if someone else has had their screen broken without any harm done to it? In my opinion this should NOT happen in less than a month's use of the phone. If searched from the internet (google), there are quite a few posts about scratched and cracks in lumia 920 screen but I did not find any posts from here with a quick look.
..And, is there anything I can do about this? it's a pity that this kind of obvious error in this certain phone I have is making it uglier and annoying me so much...
Cheers,
J

The only possibility for glass breaking is the temperature change actually. I was thinking about it myself too. And this is so strange because, as you mentioned, there are videos and info about the glass' hardness around the internet to be found. However, as I live in Finland and it is (real) winter here the phone has undergone temperature changes earlier too, even more dramatic than on friday morning when I took it outside with me for 5 minutes (was only -10 outside, 22ish inside) and this is not as big a temperature change that a phone should not last really as people do live in hot and cold countries.
Other possibility, which is also unlikely, is that the buttons on the side have something wrong with them or they have somehow bent the glass as the crack is at that edge of the screen.
The thing is, the morning I woke up, glass was fine, nothing on it. About an hour later I reply to a message and after locking the screen I see the crack. All this time the phone was on the table facing up. Luckily there is nothing wrong with the functions or anything else with the phone related to the glass, it just makes the otherwise good looking surface a bit ugly.
Has anyone reading this tried to use those "scratch fix solutions" found from webshops? That you apply on the glass and the scratch/dent/crack goes away? -though I doubt that's a good option to do, but it'll be a quick one and at least the crack won't bother me longer.
It is really stupid that otherwise a very pretty and seemingly great phone which I've already grown to like more than I thought I would in such short time (after N8) has this kind of a thing in reserve for me. =(
The live chat and call options are probably open during weekdays, thus I did not use them yet even though they were on the possible options in the nokia care (I checked it first before posting here in the first place). Also the closest Nokia care place is a bit far away, but let's see.
Again, thanks for replies.

Lumia 920 screen uniformity problem - anyone else?

Hello everyone,
Recently I have purchased Lumia 920.
It was purchased from one of parallel import shops (so there's that), but it was advertised as brand new.
Phone works fine, except that bottom of the screen is darker than top. It is not major but it is easy visible (checked with couple of mates and everyone saw it, so it's not just me being paranoid). Light fade-out starts between 10 and 15mm from bottom of the screen, is very gradual and that darker patch seem to have a bit of purple-ish tint. It is visible only on white background (Internet Explorer, for example).
I took phone back to the shop and they opened two remaining phones for me, plugged them and turned them on - both had approximately same uniformity problem. Shop people were really helpful, took my details and promissed to call me when new batch arives, but their opinion was that it's just the way screens are.
My opinion is that - maybe even unknowingly - they got batch of, how to put it? B-grade phones; devices that are not really faulty but have something a bit sub-standard, a minor defect not worth returning to factory for repair. My phone, for example, was defaulted to Italian, so I presume it was originally intended for Italian market, found a bit unsatisfying and re-sold (for lower price) to this supplier, something I think most manufacturers would do if product is not really faulty but does have minor issue.
Any thoughts on this? Has anyone noticed screen uniformity problem on their Lumia 920? Easiest way to spot it is in IE, blank white page, landscape orientation (so that search bar does not cover lower edge part which is most affected).
I like phone a lot and am planning to keep this one if new batch has same problem, but at least I want to argue their "Oh, they are probably all like that". I can accept this downside for buying phone below regular street price, but I think this should be something they admit, rather than trying to blame Nokia. Their web site should say something like "brand new with slight defect", not only "brand new". People should know what they trade for lower price.

Yeah, that's the problem with parallel import deals - you usually don't get local support as device was intended for different part of the world.
But. Completely coincidentally, I have received a call from shop this morning, telling me that new batch has arrived... so I went there, checked new phone with them (no problem with screen on that one) and got my phone replaced on the spot.
So I'm happy camper right now.

Lumia 920 screen is not rotating even though it h...

My Nokia lumia 920 had been submitted to nokia care several times for the phone used to get hanged.I was told it will be allright.my phone had been kept in their servicing centre for more than a month but then the same problem persists.And then I submitted again but still the same problem again.This has been continuing for many months.
Finally the screen will not roatate when the phone is kept at horizontal or horizantal position.
How many times do I have to go to Nokia care?I feel it is one of the worst service wanting to trouble their consumers.

As this platform is a user to user board we can't do much for you here. I suggest you file a complaint with Nokia Care on this.

Lumia 920 Screen will no longer rotate.

I've had my Lumia 920 for about a month now - it is a German Vodafone model. As of today while I was out at work I went to use it to send a text and they keyboard would no longer change orientation when I flipped the phone sideways. Nothing would rotate anymore, photos, web pages; its as if the rotation setting is not working. I looked to find one but I can't. I've heard a few issues on various forums like WPcentral about this and that it might be a software bug, and a search of this forum has another user whose rotation doesn't work, but I don't know why this would have just started, and I've tried hard resets and soft resets and nothing seems to fix it.
I would really like some information about this or a possible fix, as this is really killing the useability of the phone - that along with the random restarts which happen several times a day on average.

Wondering the same. I have seen this issue posted here and on Windows Phone Centrals website. It appear to be a recent issue. On December 24th Windows 8 installed the latest update "Portico" on my Lumia. On December 26th my phone used wireless charging for the first time via the JBL PowerUp. Those are the only relevant changes I can think of that may have caused my screen orientation to stop working on December 28th. I did notice my Lumia was hotter than normal when using the wireless charging. This is probably expected due to the copper coil needed for the wireless charging. That said, I don't believe the phone should have gotten as hot as it did. I am wondering if somehow the gyroscope got fused. Orientation no longer works at all and has been confirmed on IE browser, Email, Text, Picture taking, Picture viewing, Google app and Facebook app. In an attempt to fix this I reset the phone which Nokia told me to do. After I clicked reset the phone rebooted showing gears turning. After 2 hours the gear where still turning. A volume down power button reboot of the device was performed 6 times before the phone came back up. Once the phone came back up I chose not to restore the phone with the backed up settings. The phone was completely wiped and no old data was used. The problem still exists. At this point I am really hoping this is not a hardware problem. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please advise as this is a big issue for me and I would assume a lot of other users as well if it happens to them. I really like this phone and believe it is the best phone on the market. If this issue is in fact a hardware issue this could cause big problems for Nokia. I hope to resolve this soon otherwise I will have to return the phone and JBL PowerUp which is a very impressive audio piece.
FYI - I have had the phone since it was available in November without any issues up until December 28th..
Thanks,
N.

Lumia 920, screen rotation not working, loosen obj...

I have pre-ordered the lovely yellow 920 from Telstra Australia, in November, arrived around start of December. It is a fantastic phone to use, however there are several hardware and software issues influencing this experience in a bad way. Anyone have the same experiences with the folloing issues?
Firstly, I have noticed only in just a few days of using it, the screen can get obvious scratches very easily from normal use without screen protector film. Now, there is a pattern of many scratches from swipe up to unlock gesture. I though it would be as least do better than iphones
Secondly, I have noticed what feels like a chunk of loose object inside the phone, as I shake it quickly left and right, which could even be heard, as two hard object in contact with each other. I have no Idea what could that be.
Thirdly, the screen rotation simply stopped working one day without notice. Tried soft reset a dozen times and even hard reset to factory status did not fix the issue. This get me thinking, it might have been a serious hardware issue, or perhaps the accelorometer/gyroscope was damaged by that loose object inside the phone. However, today, all of a sudden it starts to work again.........Brilliant!.......not...
Another issue is that it could get Literally Burning Hot on the top right corner(front) of the phone in some circumstances. I understand electronic devices can get warm while operating, my Nokia N8 gets warm during intense operation such as multi-tasking Map, Drive etc, But it never gets to a point when you have to consider whether it is still safe to use or not, sadly, I have to do that with my 920 while video chatting,
There are even more issue with the software. A few random mornings in the past month, I wake up to a dead 920 on a wireless charging pad, only to be able to recover through soft reset procedure (Volum down + power). No idea why....
and sometimes as I accept an incoming call, the phone freezes on that screen. The call still goes through, three buttons are still alight and vibrates, but not functional. Again, only recoveralbe by soft reset.
Does anyone have the same experiences with these issues?
No matter what might caused these issues, to have all these occuring within a flagship smartphone, Me as a loyal Nokia fan (3210,6600,6220,3220,6300,N95,N8) is very disappointed.

I also bought Lumia 920 and had same issue with accelorometer. I have submitted phone in Nokia care and after 15 days they repired and given back. This happened in june 2013, now i started facing same issues again and my phone also get very hot while charging...... Can anyone advice how to get my device preplaced ???
thanks.

Lumia 920 restaring and freezing problem !!!

dear sir/madam,
I have bought Nokia Lumia 920 four months back. I have been facing restart problem the day I bought it. I went to Nokia care twice (khobar,SA). But still im facing the same issue. Every day it restarts 2 to 3 times. And sometimes im facing freezing problem also...once it get freezes I need to do hard reset, whenevr I do the reset, time and date changes to Sept 2012. Its really annoying. I'm fed up of using this phone. And im not at all satisfied with the service. When evryone was suggesting me to go for iPhone 5, I stood on Nokia Lumia 920. But these issues makes me to feel that I took a wrong decision. I had spent too much money this mobile but not worth it. I need to travel 100kms to reach Nokia care. That too on working days. Please make it worth when I go next time. Else I will SWITCH TO IPHONE!!!

now my phone got freezed and not booting up...i tried hard reset everything still..its dead from d past 2 days....pls help

If this isn't caused by you misusing your device I can't see why this shouldn't be covered by the warranty. It's clearly something wrong with it.
I would bring it to a care point straight away!

Lumia 920; Screen rotation problem, seems to be a ...

Hi,
Since a week I have a problem where my screen will not rotate anymore. When I soft reset the phone it magically works again, but after some usage with the phone it comes back and I cannot rotate it anymore until the nextt soft reset.
I hoped a hard reset / restore to fabric settings might help, but it didn't. Did not install alot new apps (only whatsapp actually). There are no updates available on the system to get it more up-to-date than it is.
Since the problem is gone when doing a reset (for a short time that is) I doubt it is a mechanical problem and I fear Nokia will not see it as a malfunction in their phone. Anyone has seen this problem?

I will do that, weird thing; When making a photo, It saved sideways in my album.
Hope the service point have a good solution. But was hoping someone new a quick fix.

6300 - blanks to white screen and other problems

Okay, it's my first post here. I've had a 6300 for about a year, and lately (in the last 24 hours) it's developed a serious problem. I cannot access text messages at all ("Message storage memory not ready"), nor my gallery. If I turn it on and leave it for a while, even if it's in the middle of something like a call, it will eventually drop to a blank screen from which nothing works (even the power button), or possibly a "please enter time/date" screen which has the same problem of nothing responding. The only way to turn the phone off after this is to remove the battery, but subsequently turning it back on again is difficult, working about 50% of the time (the other 50% being a blank screen).
If a reset is essential, I'd like a way to do so without losing any messages (particularly those sent since the problem started, since I haven't been able to access them yet), but I understand if this is not possible.
I've tried restoring factory settings, but it often reverts to this white screen before that finishes, unfortunately.
Thanks in advance!

how many messages have you got in the phone
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Nokia Lumia 800 - Screen and display problems

I'm having problems with the display on my phone, it has coloured lines going horizontally through it, such as those in the following photograph:
http://modmyi.com/attachments/forums/general-iphone-chat/39931d1209070920-phone-screen-dead-pixel-ex...
And the screen itself is coming away from the actual body of the phone, it looks as if it is about to fall off from the top.
I've only had this phone for about 3 months, so what do you think could be causing this issue, and is it covered by my warranty?
Thank you

It would be pointless speculating on the cause of this. Best thing for you to do at this stage is to present it to your local Nokia Care Point and see if they see it as a manufacturing defect or misuse. Manufacturing defects should be covered under warranty.

Dead Screen and other Problems

Hello,
I have a friend that has an 30GB IPod that will not turn on.
the Serial No. is 4W6037ZJTXK.
Model # is A1136
What is happening is I turn the switch at the top on and with just battery it is dead, but when I connect the USB charger cable, it will blink and then power down. There is nothing showing up on the screen, it just flashes and dies.
It was didn't get wet or was dropped to my knowledge.
The warranty is up so sending it back to Apple is not an option. (unless I am over looking something)
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

I had a similar problem. the cell slipped from a ht of 2 feet and the glass is shattered. The display touch screen is still working. The local Nokia care center sent an quote for $ 200 siting that the glass along cannot be changed.
Its insane for a cell bought at $564.
The glass replacement has to be cheaper and there should facility to change it at reasonable cost, since glass is always fraglie.

Streaming From Lumia 920 to TV

Hi All. I haven't posted anything here for quite a while which is a reflection of just how delighted I am with my Nokia Lumia 800 and now 920. Thank you Nokia and Microsoft!
My 920 is SUCH a step up from the 800! I'm going to hang on to the 800 as a spare should the 920 need servicing but, as of yet, there's absolutely no sign of any problems with either phone or their accessories - the wireless car charger being my favourite.
This post is to ask about streaming from the Lumia 920 to my television. I often use my 920 to browse the web etc whilst sitting in front of the TV when I can't be bothered to get up and wander around the house looking for my laptop. Is there a device I can plug into my Sony TV so that I can stream data to it from my Lumia 920? I would like to be able to use my TV to get a much larger image of whatever happens to be on my Lumia 920 screen.
I'm not sure where on the forum to post this so apologies in advance if I've got it wrong.
Colin

Unfortunate the 920 does not have a TV out facility. It is however possible to stream media wirelessly from your phone to any tv linked to your home network using an app called PlayTo.

Lumia 920 Randomly Reboots / Cannot Be Turned Off

Hello,
I have just bought a Lumia 920 today, and now have the problems described in the thread subject... Every few minutes while idle, the phone will power down and immediately power up again. This does render the phone useless to me...
When trying to shut it down to remove the SIM card I noticed I cannot even shut it off. It would instantly turn itself back on again.
Did anyone else notice this kind of behaviour from their Lumia 920 (or maybe other phones as well)? I was really looking forward to this device and this really ruins it for me
Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Same thing on my Lumia 920 unit from ATT, received just today via online purchase. Began resetting within 30 minutes, and continues to do so, especially in places like voicemail and phone functions. Also fails to register initial settings like search engine (on every reset, goes back to Bing instead of Google) and other things I've had to re-configure 3 or 4 times. It took about four tries to get a Texas map database to download, despite using a home wi-fi right next to the wireless router.
I don't think this is a SIM problem at all, because the rests don't always take place in the phone section. And I've even turned the cell phone data feature off, and still the reboots. It MAY be the micro-USB connector, because since I've been charging the phone while initializing it, the resets happen with it inserted. But this is also the data cable, so if the unit resets all the time while moving huge chunks of desktop data, then it is useless. If the micro-USB connector is that rickety, more trouble is down the road.
This is a real shame, becuase I like the phone and was ready to switch from iPhone. Now I'm stuck with something I have to send back and try to get my old iPhone to work again, so at least I'll have some cell phone calls.
About eight hours of my time loading music, getting familiar, and configuring for my home desktop windows 8. If my Windows 8 desktop rebooted my machine eight times in only a few hours of initial usage, I'd be going back to old desktop as well.
Again, very sad, because this seemed to be a great phone with great features at a low-low price. I guess when it seems too good to be true, it is. iPhone may be falling behind in some ways, but at least it's been a reliable phone for three years.
Lucky I have 14 days money back, return to old phone, no questions asked. But it took less than half a day to figure out the phone didn't work.
About the only possible fix would be some firmware upgrade promised to fix it permanently, but they had better make a big deal about publicizing, or have a million returns on their hands.
