Marks underneath screen of Lumia 820

Ive had my NNokia Lumia 820 approx 4-5 weeks and though Ive got no software problems with the phone, about a week ago, I noticed what looked like smudge marks on the underneath of the screen, at the top under the speaker and in the bottom left corner of the screen, about a third of the way up. I just happened to notice in the daylight today and have noticed that the marks are growing in sixe, especially the one in the bottom left corner, nearly halfway across the screen. I suspect its a build quality issue as Ive never had this issue with a phone before. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same issue?

Here you go. Forgot about my work blackberry, which has a flash which showed it up quite nicely. Perhaps the other guys can confirm if this is the same as their's.
I'm starting to think it's actually an imperfection in the front of the screen, rather than behind. If you scrub quite hard with a cloth you can get rid of it (mostly), but as soon as your finger goes over that area it's back. Like that part of the screen has imperfections that cause it to smudge/stay smudged more than the rest of the surface. Just a hypothesis, probably wrong. Unless it gets worse I'm not too bothered about it.

  • Lumia 820 Screen Unable to Power Up

    Hi,
    I'm facing this problem and I've been trying to debug the issue for the past few hours of whereby the screen will not power up but the phone is definitely working(the buttons will lit when I press the power button, the phone will ring and vibrate when I call it, there will be a sound when I take a screenshot, and the phone will vibrate when my phone receives an email).
    I was using this app http://www.windowsphone.com/fi-fi/store/app/the-ssh-client/e8aa1299-e011-486c-9f61-3232c892b17b before the screen failed to start(but I've used this app for quite a while before in other days and nothing happened).
    Phone Condition:
    1. Screen is not turned on(failed to start)
    2. Phone is working(read above)
    3. My computer(Win 7) can detect the device, but there are no files inside the Lumia 820 drive(there are files inside it before that).
    4. Battery was ~50% when it had problems and now its ~29%
    Things that I've tried:
    1. Soft Reset - Holding Decrease volume button + Power Button
    2. Holding all four buttons
    3. Holding power button(weird, but this doesn't seem to reboot the device anymore)
    Things that I have not tried:
    1. Flash it
    2. Charge it
    Well, any other viable solutions?
    p/s: I've browsed through here and some other sites as well before asking here.

    Did you try this key combination for your 4 button reset? 
    Step 1- Make sure the charger is disconnected.1. Switch the power Off.2. Press and hold the Volume down and connect the charger, if succeed an exclamation mark (!) is shown on the screen.
    Step 2 - Then input the keys in the following order:1. Volume up2. Volume down3. Power4. Volume down
    Step 3 - The phone will reset and boot up automatically. Please note that this may take several minutes.
    Please note you will lose all data doing this. 
    If the above doesn't work then it is likely a hardware issue and you should have it checked out at your local Nokia Care Poibt.

  • My screen got cracked of Nokia Lumia 820

    I have a Nokia Lumia 820 and its front glass got cracked. My display is alright but my touch is not working on the crack but elsewhere on the screen touch is working fine can someone tell me the problem and its cost. I am living in India.

    You will need to contact Nokia Care in your area, they will provide a quote for replacing the screen. It's impossible to say what it will cost because each authorised repairer will provide a quote that includes both the components needed and their labour cost for carrying out the work, so just see the Microsoft web site for your country and you'll find information on how to get the phone fixed in the support pages.

  • Bit of touch screen not working Lumia 820

    Hello!
    A couple of months ago I bought a Nokia Lumia 820. And after a while I broke the digitizer. Got a new one and replaced it myself. The problem now is that the digitizer now does not work properly, a bit of it doesnt work, the second line on a keyboard when the phone is positioned upward. I have read somewhere that this could mean a faulty digitizer, but the thing is when I use the nokia search button on the lower rigth corner of the phone that activates the bing search the whole screen works fine and I can even input the pin code.
    So my question is this can this be a software problem rather than hardware, because I really dont want to buy a new digitizer and then realize that the new one wont work either. Or could I have made an error when I was replacing the digitizer.
    Thanks in advance for your replies

    It's a hardware issue, either a faulty digitizer or you damaged something when fitting it.

  • Cracked screen on password protected lumia 820

    i cracked the screen on my lumia 820 and can no longer enter my password. is there a way i can access my photos from the device? even when i connect it to my computer it still requests the phone be unlocked which i can no longer do. any suggestions? thanks in advance

    You could try hard resetting it as follows. With the phone powered off, press and hold the vol down +power+ camera buttons. When the phone vibrates, release the power button and release the remaining two buttons 5 seconds after that.

  • Lumia 820 broken screen

    Hi all,
    I am in big trouble with my phone lumia 820. It slipped from my hands couple of days ago and screen went blank immediately thereafter.  LCD is not displaying anything and I am not able to do anything with it. 
    If new panel (screen, lcd, touch) needs to be fixed then its costing me too much..I can manage with the broken screen but lcd display should be working. 
    Can someone please guide me with the simplest and most cost effective way to do it. ??
    Regards
    Kapil Khanduja

    If the screen is broken, it's broken. There is no way to fix it adn it needs to be replaced. This is not the place to discuss self repair or otherwise. Let's just say Google and YouTube are your friend.

  • Volume & Back Button Bug Lumia 820

    Hi all,
    I bought my wife a Nokia Lumia 820 about 2 months ago and up until now she's been extremely pleased and impressed with it. However yesterday she encountered a weird bug which we cannot fix.
    Am not sure how she managed it, but the volume display now remains visible always at the top of the phone display and volume is set to 0 and cannot be changed. In addition the back arrow (bottom left) no longer works in any app as it now just tries to close the volume display in the header.
    I see a number of people have reported issues with low volume but I could not find anyone else who has the same specific issue with the volume display always showing.
    Steps taken to try and resolve this:
    Rebooted phone (holding power and volume down)
    Backed up the app data etc and did a factory reset
    Removed the battery and rebooted
    Ensured that the phone had the latest updates
    After the first reboot the display did seem to resolve itself until I then clicked on the volume controls on the side of the phone. This then caused the volume to go straight down to 0 and then the display stuck and had the same problem again.
    Also on some of my attempts to reboot the phone, a white exclamation mark showed up after the reboot and the phone was frozen so only way to try and get past this again was to reboot again and again until it disappeared.
    Something is obviously wrong but am not sure whether it's a software glitch or an issue wiht the handset.
    Can someone help shed some light on this else I'm going to get a lot of earache from the wife soon?
    Thanks a lot, Matt

    We have 3 Lumia 820 and one of the handsets behaved like you folks describing..
    Did some resets, soft or hard, cant remember,but finally gave the handset to the shop and they sent in in for a reflash by Nokia.

  • My problems with Nokia Lumia 820

    I was a big fan of Nokia until two months back when I purchased Nokia Lumia 820. It's been two months and I'm having tough time with the handset.
    First it was the heat issue. I know smartphones are tend to get heated up due to processors. But my mobile gets heated up in less than 5 minutes when I play games like real football, wordament and even simple games. I thought I got a bad device out of the box. When I say heated up it's not warm, its hot and uncomfortable hotness. I can't hold my device until the heat subsides. I visited the Nokia care for raising the heat issue but they said they can't do much and updated my mobile to the latest firmware (1308) and asked me to check after the update and the heat issue is still the same. Just when I thought things can't get any worse it did. My mobile has visited Nokia repair factory already twice in less than two months of purchase. The first major problem occurred three weeks back when the display would be switching on and off randomly and finally the mobile got bricked. The screen went blank completely and the device was unresponsive. Along with that complaint I've again raised a complaint about the device getting heated up uncomfortably. 14 days after I submitted my device to Nokia care I got my device back only to find that the screen isn't responsive to touch in the middle within a week's time. The upper part and the lower parts are responsive, it's the middle strip that's not responding to touch.
    I've again given my mobile to Nokia care and they have sent it to the repair unit. In two months of my purchase the mobile has spent more than 4 weeks at Nokia repair outlet. It is still undergoing repair in the Nokia repair factory. I had least expected this from Nokia.
    Some of my friends who have windows 8 phones from Nokia haven't experienced any problems so far, not even heating problem. It's safe to say that the problem is only with my device.
    It's two months old and I've got it from the Nokia priority dealer.
    What'd you call a device which spends more than 40% of the time in the repair factory in two months of the purchase. Even the 3 months EMI's haven't been payed fully.
    I've encountered lots of inconvenience after purchasing the device.

    i am too having the heat issues..of nokia lumia..820 its been 1 mnth i hav been w8in for my nokia lumia to be in my hand...but..its giving too much problms..it gets soo hot widthinn 5- 1- mins.. highly dat i hav to end up d calll..n i kinda felt sensation on my thumb fingr. ..n i m also havin the hanging up issues..but yesterday my phn was hang n the phn was swwitched off...n its still swtich off..,when i chrg the phn no rexn is seen..

  • Please help!! problem with rebooting lumia 820

    I only got my Lumia 820 yesterday and it was fine then today the camera stopped working, i tried taking the battery out, and putting it back in then switching it back on - still no luck. Then i went on the nokia website and looked up the troubleshooting advice where it advised a reboot. I tried the reboot, seemed to be going fine but now it wont switch on properly!! when it gets to the switching back on part of the reboot it vibrates then the nokia logo comes up on the screen but stays like that and nothing else happens!! please help, really dont know what to do!
    p.s i stay an hour away from the nearest  phone shop otherwise i'd have popped in when it was just the camera not working!

    If you tried the advice from guide return it back to point of purchase and get it exchanged.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

    Guys, I am planning to change my phone soon. i am using Nokia E6 for last two years and confotable with its performance. Though I had a bitter experience (you can read my experience HERE) at the begginning, it never came back after rectification done at nokia care. I am happy with its performance now. However, since it has a small screen, sometimes i feel difficult to select a link with finger while surfing through internet. That is the reason i am looking for a new one with bigger screen size. I was actually looking for Lumia 820 or 720 for which I am still confused to decide one. Request the experts to help me to select one. Which is better for my moderate use? i am using my phone mainly for calls, emails, photos and web browsing. I am not curious about games, music etc... Please help me to chose one.

  • Lumia 820 video playback problem

    I've recently bought a Lumia 820, my choice partly influenced by the 2  to improve video recording, in particular at live music gigs. Whilst it does seem to be avoid the "wind tunnel" sound effect I've had on previous phone videos, each one I've played back has major blocking on both the picture and the audio, with neither being in synch, and therefore virtually worthless. I tried yesterday just filming a small crowd gathering, so no amps or loud noise, and have exactly the same problem. I'd set the video to record in high spec, so should I opt for the lower 720 spec, or is it a different problem altogether? And how do I solve it, before I get increasingly frustrated at having messed up and missed out on some valuable footage?!! Thanks.

    What is the file format of the video you are trying to play? You can try to reset the device (soft reset). To do this, press and hold the Volume Down key and Power key until phone vibrates. If no improvement, I would recommend updating the device. You can set the phone to notify you when update is available through these settings:
    Settings>Phone update>Place a check mark to "Tell me when updates are available for my phone"
