Movies on Lumia (920)

Hi all,
I am wondering if it's possible to put movies (for example avi format) on the Lumia (920) and more important how? I can't find my phone in "my computer" on my laptop and that way i cant't copy and paste files/ movies etc from my computer to my phone.
Hopefully somebody can help me out. I love to watch movies and series on my phone when travelling, but can't get it working.
Thanks in advance!

The Lumia 920 supports the following video formats for playback
3GPP formats (H.263), ASF, H.264/AVC, M4V, MPEG-4, VC-1, WMV 9
To connect your Lumia 920 to a PC you need Win 7 or Win 8 and you can then download and install the Windows Phone app for desktop to allow the synching of files between your phone and a PC/laptop.

Your phone should also show up in Win explorer so you can drag and drop files to their respective folders on the phone.

Issue with Internet Explorer on Lumia 920 Windows ...

The built-in Internet Explorer browser can't handle drop-down menus. On touch, the options are shown, the menu rolls out, but when lifting finger, it rolls back instantly so you can't make a choice. If trying to move finger to the sub-menu, the entire screen moves with the menu title fixed under your fingers, as when shifting a web page sideways. So the sub menu again can't be accessed. If using two fingers, the browser doesn't respond when selecting the sub menu. If pressing too long (>1 second) you're asked to share the link on e.g. Twitter... There seems to be no way of accessing the sub menu. So now I'm eternally logged on to LinkedIn since the logout is in an inaccessible drop down menu. Any way to solve this issue? When will this Internet. Explorer error be fixed? It's been there for months now.(May 2013)

I have the same issue on my lumia 920, love the phone but this is such a nightmare and pretty bad, considering the competition like i phone and Motorola g have no problems like this, plus its pretty embarrassing, i need this access for work, if there is no fix i may have to switch to another brand

Nokia Lumia 920 potential battery drain issue?

Can you Nokia confirm this? http://reach.jdbpocketware.com/topic/128305-to-nokia-ref-lumia-920/
The issue illustrated in detail:
Nature of Windows Phone buttons
Pressing either the power button or the camera button will cause the device screen to turn on, even when the proximity sensor detects proximity.
[IMAGE http://i.imgur.com/M2to9.png]
The lockscreen behavior
Upon power on, screen lights up and shows the lockscreen (or camera), which runs a timeout to auto power off the device if screen is not touched in X seconds.
But if screen is touched, the timeout counter is restarted, so continuous touching could lead into a loop, the "death loop" which won't let the device to power off (standby) and will consume battery life.
[IMAGE http://i.imgur.com/2HNdV.png]
New touchscreen technology
The Nokia Lumia 920 comes with a touchscreen that reacts to touch from pretty much any material such as metal or clothes. This can be dangerous.
[IMAGE http://i.imgur.com/4tbyY.png]
So here is a theory
When the phone is inside a pocket or bag it can be touched by other objects. These objects can press buttons and can touch/rub the screen. This will initiate the "death loop" for who knows how much time, could be minutes or hours, depends on how active the user is since body movement will produce friction between objects/clothes and touchscreen:
[IMAGE http://i.imgur.com/XMT0y.png]
The "death loop" will drain battery and battery is precious.
Solution?
Should be simple: screen must not power on if the proximity sensor detects proximity. Current version of Windows Phone does not take care of this. The big question is: will Windows Phone 8 take care of this? Is the Lumia 920 a potential battery drainer?

I don't understand why we have to spend our valuable time in the forums for days and nights to FIND HOW TO FIX THAT CRAB!! NOKIA company did not handout these devices FOR CHARITY.All of us had paid around a thousand dollars to buy this Phone. They have got to work overtime to fix it and publish a solution otherwise recall the devices back.

Nokia Lumia 920

Hello. why can't I move photos from nokia lumia 920 to iphoto? It's possible?

If it does not work like an iPhone then you need to contact Nokia support - it is not an iPhtoo for Mac issue - iPhoto reacts to cameras and phones that look liek cameras - if your does not then you need help from the phone people

I have a macbook pro laptop and want to download some music files to my windows phone from finder. I don't want to use the official windows phone app, where it shows up, but I do not prefer this app because it allows me only to upload full albums to my phone instead of single songs. By the way, it also shows up in iphoto, but not in finder. How can I solve this?

You should use windows phone app. only this way. as for me, i cant move photos from lumia 920 to iphoto. i think, promblem in USB3.0. but i dont want belive in it

Missing features on Nokia Lumia 920

Aftter seven months, and some teething problems, I am generally very happy with the Lumia 920 but there are some important features from earlier models which have been lost, making the Lumia 920 more difficult to use than necessary.
Profiles: the ability to set tones, ringing volume, alerts, etc for everyday, meetings and occasions when silence is needed has been lost. Each of these options has to be separately configured every time
Bluetooth on/off on the home screen. Now I have to open Settings when getting in and out of the car and scroll down to Bluetootch
Text editing: it is impossible to position the cursor between letters in a word.
No FM radio: there is internet radio available for use when in wifi range but FM radion would be much more useful
No support for apps that record voice conversations or voice calls.
I doubt that the elimination of these features saved any real money. The loss of profiles is a real bummer.

Profiles: the ability to set tones, ringing volume, alerts, etc for everyday, meetings and occasions when silence is needed has been lost. Each of these options has to be separately configured every time
this feature is probably coming in the next update (GDR3)
Bluetooth on/off on the home screen. Now I have to open Settings when getting in and out of the car and scroll down to Bluetootch
there are third party apps to create connectivity tiles, and probably WP8 will have this feature in GDR3
Text editing: it is impossible to position the cursor between letters in a word.
tap and hold to the point to enable floating cursor, so you can move the cursor anywhere u want
No FM radio: there is internet radio available for use when in wifi range but FM radion would be much more useful
didn't you get the amber update yet? FM radio is enabled by amber GDR2+amber update
No support for apps that record voice conversations or voice calls.
did u check the store?
The silence will fall

Lumia 920: OneDrive not working after WP8.1 update

After 8.1 update to Lumia 920 OneDrive stopped working totally. In original WP8.0 SkyDrive worked as should.
- In start menu OneDrive icon/tile shows as "greyed out" and does not respond to anything. The only thing one can do is move or unpin the icon/tile.
- In application menu the only option for OneDrive is "pin to start". There is no "rate and review", "share" or "uninstall" available. Therefore cannot uninstall and re-install
- If looking from Store, it does not allow to (re-)install because it thinks that it is already installed!
I can access OneDrive from all my other devices.
I know that there are several people who have updated their 920 succesfully but that information is not very helpful to me. Looking from internet this has happened to a couple of other users too.
What should I do? Good suggestions welcome.

Hi @MrPanda ,
Always in case of trouble with accounts, please double check the time, date and time zone settings on the phone, and verify that there is an active data connection via mobile or Wi-Fi. Also, the strangest problems are sometimes resolved by shutting the phone down and starting it again.
Otherwise, the next steps are:
In Settings -> Mail + Accounts is there a Microsoft account configured, with your email address in small print? - Not a deletable mail account, but the account entered during first setup of the phone. - If so, long press and select Synchronise from the pop up menu.
In case the Microsoft account is missing for whatever reason, then the only option is a factory reset.
If it fails to synchronise, then please post the error code displayed, since that may give useful information.
OneDrive should start working once it has sync'ed ...
Hans
EDIT: A factory reset as suggested by @93tid must solve the problem. It is just that I had to perform a manual MS account sync to have the OneNote and Office Lens apps work properly after the upgrade to WP8.1 - and I wonder if something similar is happening here.

Lumia 920 seldom does not respond while in sleep m...

Hi,
I encountered the same issue along with another abnormal condition too. Phone turns into locked state and the screen stops glowing (blank black screen), indicating idle state. It doesn't respond when I press unlock button. Also it does not respond for Camera, and Volume buttons too. But, when I connect it to a PC in that state I am able to browse the phone normally via PC only. Phone still remains buggy. As a work around pressing volume-keys + power key + camera key simultaneously restarts the device and resumes to normal state. However, previous state of phone isn't restored i.e., device starts as it were normally restarted.

Sorry, couldn't find any place to post this. It seems that there is, at least on my phone, a semi-reproducible bug that stops the volume control from working.
Steps to reproduce (from clean phone, ie. just freshly booted, no remnant IE tabs):
1. Turn on phone.
2. Open music+videos (Xbox music) app. Play a song that is locally stored on the phone.
3. While the music is still playing, open up an Internet Explorer tab and navigate to youtube (m.youtube.com).
4. Play an HD movie file. I played Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" preview #9. Your previously playing music will stop playing.
5. After a few seconds, stop the youtube video playback by hitting the Windows button.
6. Go back to the music+videos app. Play a song that is locally stored on the phone.
On times that the bug shows up, the music plays at a fixed volume. Using the volume rocker will cause the volume display to increase and decrease, but the actual volume will not change unless you change the volume to 00/30, at which point the sound will mute. If the bug doesn't show up, repeat steps 3 through 6 until the issue shows up. You don't need to reboot in between attempts.
Interestingly, volume control still works if you go back to the youtube video. The issue shows up when using the loudspeaker as well as when using headphones. If nobody else can reproduce it, we can start trying to figure out if it's certain music file types or something that cause it. Diagnostic information below:
Model: NOKIA Lumia 920 Carrier: AT&T
OS Version: 8.0.9903.10 Firmware revision number: 1232.2109.1242.1001 Hardware revision number: 1.0.0.0 Radio software version: 1.0.202041.3 Chip SOC version: 8960

I've had the same problem. The screen won't blank during a call (like the proximity sensor isn't detecting my face/finger/hand). I keep hanging up on people with my ear. I've taken to locking my screen before putting it to my ear but anytime I get another call / text / voicemail / calendar notification / alarm while i'm on the phone (which happens a lot still) it lights the screen up again and makes it where i'm able to hang up with my ear.
I've factory reset, and had the phone replaced TWICE already. I'm on my 3rd Lumia 920 (and they all have the same issue!) This didn't happen until the most recent firmware update...so I think it was a problem created when they were trying to fix the other proximity sensor issue where the screen stayed on black all the time during a call.
Rebooting does fix the problem temporarily, but it always comes back. I'm tired of hanging up on people and hoping for a new model device from AT&T but they're giving me **bleep** at the moment.
TLDR: Factory reset, replacement devices don't fix the problem. It's a firmware bug. I'm on my 3rd 920 with the same issue. Extraordinarily frustrating.

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.

Questions before I buy Lumia 920

Hey everyone, I'm new here, I will introduce myself later because I am in a hurry and I need answers first
So please if you can answer my questions that will be great.
I want to buy the Lumia 920 tomorrow if possible, but I want to ask about stuff I've read about it that worries me.
First I've read that it has batterie problems and the batterie gets empty fast.
Second I've read that the phone gets too hot.
Can these things be fixed? Can they hurt the battery somehow? Because I've read that the battery can't be changed, and it's a very expensive phone here in Egypt so I don't want to have to throw it away if anything happens to the battery.
I want to ask about the music, can I download different music players/apps and use them instead of the original one of the phone? Because I want a music player that has last.fm live scrobbling. Also I want to ask if the music sounds good and pure in the phone and how loud can it get?
Now I want to ask about the cinemagraph thing, which I just discovered now, it's amazing.
Can I like make a cinemagraph from a video not taken by the camera? Say from a movie, then upload it on the Internet or on the computer as a gif picture?
About the Internet, is there 3G in it, like can I use sometimes WiFi and sometimes 3G instead? Coz there's not always WiFi everywhere and most of them are with passwords anyway.
Does it have Xbox Live Smart Glass? And does it only work with Xbox 360 or will it also work with Xbox One when it comes out?
And finally what colors are there for the Lumia 920? And does it come with earphones with it?
Please answer ASAP if possible.
Thank you

I may not have all the answers, coz even my experience with Lumia 920 was cut short due to, as you pointed out, heating problems.
Yes, there are battery problems, but it's all a matter of pure bad luck. You could get a perfectly fine device, with no issues, or the ones that are ailed by battery and other issues. Also, there are number of ways to improve your battery life, if the issue stems from improper usage.
Yes, there are some (read few) devices that do get got. Mine did. Never got it fixed and the repair team has decided to replace the device.
Yes, like any other audio-playing-capable phone, this one ,too, supports 3rd party music players. Quality of the music is fine for an average user. If you have a very discerning ear, you may find something to nitpick. Otherwise, for an average guy, it's fine, and loud enough.
I doubt if you can edit videos, not taken from your phone's camera, by using the cinemagraph app. But I'm just guessing here.
Yes, there are 3G, Wi-fi and LTE for data access
Apparently, it does support the Xbox Smartglass feature. Don't know if it will be supported by the upcoming Xbox One
The phone comes in Red, Cyan (extremely rare), black (the one I own), Yellow, White. I think that's it for the colour variety.
Bottomline, Lumia 920 is a simple, elegant, and in some cases, revolutionary device with a mesmerising screen, and this is regardless of my awful experience. It's just that I had the misfortune of getting a faulty device, followed by less than professional handling by the Nokia Care people. I just hope you don't end up with a faulty one and, if you do, I hope the service is up to the mark in your area.

Headphones Promotion for Lumia 920.

Hello my name is Gabriel Georgescu. I wanted to write you before I posted my dissatisfaction with a phone call that I just had with your Customer Care line (877-906-6542.) First I wanted to say that I have been a long time Nokia customer - my last phone being the Nokia N97 (which was purchased off contract.) Before my recent purchase I was a customer with T-mobile for over 8 years, but I chose to move to AT&T for your flagship product (Nokia Lumia 920.) On the date the 920 became available at the AT&T stores I went and purchased four lumia 920s (1 black - for my dad, 2 red - for my mom and myself, and 1 yellow for my wife) and 4 wireless pads. As of this writing I still have not received the yellow phone nor did I receive the wireless pads. I noticed that since our purchase, the price of the phone was cut in half over the weekend and there is also a promotion for free headsets at http://www.nokiaholidayheadset.com/. When I inquired about the possibility of honoring this for my 4 purchases the lady told me that she could not help me and that I could return the phones and go and purchase them again from the Northridge location. I will do that if I have to, but the only reason I purchased these phones was for the great customer service that Nokia is known for and the quality that you produce. Again I only switched to AT&T for your product, not for AT&T's service. I have been staying away from them for years, but your phone made me take the plunge. We are already buying 2 Nokia JBL PowerUp Speakers and I am an outspoken promoter for your phones, but in this instance I was wondering if you could help us take advantage of this promotion or if I will have to return the phones and purchase new ones in order for us to also get the headphones. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance Gabriel.

Firstly this is a user to user support forum. If you wish to contact Nokia directly you should use the "Nokia support" tab to the bottom right if this screen.
Since you purchased your phones from AT&T, you should really be contacting them about this. How AT&T choose to srll the phones, their pricing policies and promotions are a matter for themselves and nothing to do with nokia. Nokia will have little or no control over them.

Lumia 920 internet data

Hello, I bought a lumia 920 with att, I have already unlocked it throough them to use it in mexico with telcel, I have inserted the telcel sim card 4g lte, and everything works excellent including my telephone line, but I do not have data, my plan includes internet data but I do not get it, I cant navigate or use intternet, only via wifi but not through telcel.
Do I need to install mexico´s software? or do I need to move some configuration?
Thanks a lot
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Couple things you could try:
1. settings/keyboard/add keyboards
then add the Spanish (Mexico)
see if this will alow you to auto-configure the data for Telcel. It could have an issue since it is not a factory unlocked device.
(this may sound wierd, but in order to get my tethering to work on my factory unlocked 920, i had to add the Spanish language pack, so it is probable)
2. Get the Telcel data settings and add them in:
settings/access point
then after you add the access point, be sure that you tap it to activate it.
hope that helps.

Lumia 920 and Netflix

On my current phone, Samsung Nexus, I've noticed improved quality on Netflix movies. Has anyone viewed Netflix on the Lumia 920 and noticed the support of Netflix in HD?

Not sure you'll get much of an answer to this till the 920 is available

Lumia 920 4g?

I see that the phone will only connect the the G3 network. What about G4? When will that be offered? There is no point in upgrading to a Lumia 920 without being able to connect to G4
*NOTE: This post was moved to a separate thread and the title of this and subsequent responses changed to reflect the move.

Looking the U.S. AT&T Nokia Lumia 920 specs it isn't surprising it doesn't look like an unlocked version will work on TMobile. However, there is a global Nokia Lumia 920 on Nokia's web site that looks like it will work unlocked on TMobile.
I'm thinking about getting an unlocked phone so I can take advantage of a cheap TMobile month by month plan ($30 with 100 minutes/unlimited text/unlimited data). Sure, I could get the Nokia Lumia 810 they just announced for TMobile but I'd prefer the better phone. In fact, I might end up sticking with Android because I'm not really interested in a mid-range phone.
Am I right the global version is fully compatible with TMobile (specs below) and will an unlocked version be sold in the U.S.?

i seriously am astonished by the marketibng strtegy of the lumia phones. first thing if you already have a launch date in mind start advertising about the relesase two weeks prior to it or a month proir to it saying about the release date, so people just dont have to wait not knowing when you people will release the phone. there are chances that people might wait if you people give an idea to the consumers.... only the hardcore will wait..
dont fail on marketing, please move fast.. otherwise you'll in india too...
