  • Made in China

    I've been waiting for months for vodafone uk to stock the 820. Finally I contacted them arranged for the upgrade. During the call I stated that I did not want one that was made in China. I have nothing against the quality but in these difficult economic times it seems right to support manufacturers that are as local as possible. Vodafone assured me that they were shipping phones made Finland.
    It arrived today and I was very excited until I saw the label n the box stating that it was Made in China. I haven't opened it, it is going back.
    Vodafone now say that they cannot say where the phones they supply will have been manufactured and the only option is to check with their stores to see what stock they have. It makes it very onerous for the customer to get what they want.
    Is there any chance that Nokia can provide an option for their customers where they can specify that they get a local manufactured product?
    At the moment I guess my old N8 will have to soldier on. If I can only get Chinese phones it takes away a major Nokia USP.

    Nokia has a plant in Hungary but that's it..

    As the 720 or a 720 variant will come to T-Mobile in the US I would assume the north american variant will support that band..

  • Lumia 720 screen cracked

    Dear Nokia Support team,
    couple of questions on Nokia Lumia 720
    - does the screen crack after falling from 3 ft given it is made out of gorilla glass?
    - can this be covered in the warranty? my device is just about 8 months old, and performing quite well, but this screen crack has not been a pleasant user experience
    Look forward to hearing from you
    thx

    Hi, this is mainly a user to user trouble shooting forum, but employees might drop by - however there's no guarantee.
    However, I can answer this for you. Gorilla glass are not crack/shatter proof. Gorilla glass are tougher against scratches, but not even scratch proof.
    So with the right speed, right angle and right surface it will break when dropped.
    Cracking your screen from dropping it will not be covered by warranty unfortunately. You will have to pay for a repair/screen replacement.

  • Lumia 720 screen freeze

    Hi my new Lumia 720 sometimes freeze up and only way out is a reset..... Any tips please? Is this a known issue? Is there any fix update planned to be released?

    Hello Musica,
    Thanks for the Prompt Reply.
    I'll explain in neat how this happened.
    OCCURENCE 1:  The first day
    1. I purchased my mobile on April 20'th, which is just 2 days after it was released to stores in India.
    2. That day night i just tried Wifi, contacts, people hub etc and was going well till then.
    3. I wanted to change brightness settings so, i was checking auto, low, high etc. I set it to Low, Then Locked the phone using the button on the side. After a minute i wanted to open up the Camera by pressing on the shutter button (when the phone is still in the locked condition). I did not see any camera opening up. I then tried to Unlock the screen and it dint. I tried almost everything, volume  up, down etc.. nothing happened. 
    I tried to connect the USB cable to the Phone and access it through laptop, and gracefully i saw that the folders appearing on the browser. Hence i confirmed that the phone had power supply and some part of it is still running.
    Please note that this just happened as i said 1) change screen brightness - changed few times between options, and finally settled down to Low 2) Locked the screen 3) Tried to Open camera by press and hold Shutter button of camera.  -> Thats it after that i was not able to see anything on the screen.. The screen was clear Black and even the windows and other two icons below did not glow for any operation i did.. 
    I had to reset the phone to get something on the display back again.
    And clearly to say that - This Problem is not re-producible in the same way again.
    OCCURENCE 2:  4-5 days later(This time luckily i dint want to restart, plase read below)
    1) I was in the "settings" menu searching something on the settings. I think i set the wifi on and came back to the settings main view.
    2) assuming wifi was on, i wanted to go back and open browser, so i press the back key and nothing happened. Still the settings menu was showing up. 
    3) So i thought it was stuck and tried to click something on the settings. Neither a touch nor any sort of selection was not accepted. instead the screen Freezed in the same Settings menu.
    4) NOW, i just randomly tried few moves on the screen just to try wake it up. And i found a glimpse of LOCK SCREEN coming down from the top (i think) in a slow motion (unusual than the normal appearance). 
    5) Now i have the lock screen infront of me, and i slowly slide it up as usual. The phone was unlocked and then i had the settings menu there which now resumed working.
    This was strange to me as a Software Programmer to realize why the lock screen appeared on the fist place and why was the settings menu first was not responding.
    Please note that this time i dint have to restart the phone luckily.
    OCCURENCE 3:  Seven days later after the purchase
    1. Installed photosyth. Took a photosynth capture
    http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=0b887c2e-aa42-4491-9c60-4d0fd43e6356
    2. If you see this photosynth image, in some place you will note a Green Color like coating sort of a paint on just the left of the church View. It sort of covers the leaves like a thin green Film. 
    3. Please note - that was the last frame i shot in the Photosynth lens before i continued to stitch. 
    4. Stitching complete and the image was just as you see in the above photosynth Link. 
    5. After this i wanted to use camera normally, and when i do so, i see everything as "that green color" which appears in the photosynth image that i mentioned.  i closed Camera and opened it again from the start menu, and NO... Still it was the same green. I wasnt able to see any objects that i aim. Fully green.
    6. Left with no options, but in a hurry to take a picture, i had to restart the device..
    These are the just three occurences that i had during these 10 days after purchase. 
    I tried hard later on to test the device by trying the same things, but never happened. I am particularyly bothered ONLY about the issue 1 & 2. Third issue is definely because of PhotoSynth causing something. May be it didnt flush anything out of the camera buffer memory.. or dont know what exactly made that green there in the image and later on the full viewfinder...  
    The device otherwise works exceptionally well and hence i dint want to immediatly go and check with Nokia Care, because the problem was not perfectly re-producible. 
    ==> What do you think? I certainly feel that it could be a software issue with 1 & 2? 
    1) Would you be interested in some logs in case the issue occurs again? 
    2) If the issue occurs again, and i just take the phone immediately to Nokia Care, should i suggest something to them on Your behalf so that they dont try to diagnose something wrong? Because if they reset it, reproducing the issue is hard. 
    3) Do you think i would need to ask Nokia Care to run any diagnostic tests for "this specific  issue"? Do you have such a test available & instructed to all Nokia Care Engineers?
    Please suggest.  Rest all things in the phone are fine and its absolutely smooth. Even if i exchange, i dont have guarantee / rather convinced that this issue will popup again in the new phone (if at all). So i want to know the root cause before i exchange so that it does not appear again in the new phone.
    Thanks,
    Binny. 

  • Odd software behaviour Lumia 720

    I'm the proud owner of a Lumia 720 since July. I'm facing some odd software behaviour recently though. Without notice or any pattern, the current app changes to another one, sometimes four or five times while my phone vibrates like mad. It happens two, or three times a week, and there's no significant pattern but this weird "phone on speed" behaviour always ends in the Bing app. I thought rebooting was the answer but it doesn't. Does someone has any clue?

    Ugura,
    Thanks for your reply. I adjusted the touch sensitivity but that did not do the trick. Last night, I was already sleeping, suddenly my Lumina 720 played a song that I played before many weeks ago. That was quite odd too. With my phone connected to the charger, me asleep and there was that terrible noise from an old U2-song... And I could not stop it, nor could I lower the volume so I had to turn on my computer to find the keys to a soft reset and it was in the middle of the night.
    So I waited till this morning to reset my phone to it's factory-settings. Much to my annoyance- without any external app loaded, the phone went on nuts again. This time, while vibrating taking numerous screen shots... It's like my phone is haunted. A little poltergeist in it. I need some high-tec exorcism I'm afraid.
    Hope someone can help me further!

  • Lumia 720 glass breaks after first fall from 10 in...

    To my sheer HORROR,
    My new Lumia 720 slipped outta my hands, landed on my lap, and then slipped from there too, to fall on the floor. The glass was cracked severly.  Even then, the phone is operational, the MIC is off and the phone is not connecting to the PC, although charging is working.
    This is a serious design fail from NOKIA who are known for there Product Durability. Most of my previous phones were NOKIA (3310, 1100, 6630, lumia 900) and all have faced many falls but this phone (lumia 720) disaapointment.
    Its not even a month old, and I rush it to the nearest NOKIA care centre. (previous visit was after 2 days of buying and a software error while updating). the NOKIA care executives were friendly, but were asking me to burn my pocket (not just a hole) and shelve Rs.8500, for the screen and glass assembly. I was bewildered. Hence i took this to the internet. Lot of reading and back and forth made me realize there is a faint hope in this scenaio. The Nokia care people are happily showing off other lumia 720's with broken screen to me as if they are laughing "look you moron, there are other idiots too, who bought this phone." 
    Following are my finding on this issue:
    The repair cost ismore than half of the cost of the phone.
    The damage with such a minor fall, is still my reponsibility as NOKIA warranty policy will consider this as a ACT of GOD (or the customer),
    This site provides the digitizer assembly seperately for just $15. that means the actual damge done by me should not cause me more than $20 yet I am being asked roughly $140. that is 7 times more than the actual damage.
    I want to ASK NOKIA here, is this  how they are trying to mint  money from the customers. The reason I opted out of Apple, or Samsung, is beacause of our believe in Nokia. But this time it has failed me.
    Hello NOKIA, can i file a lawsuit againt you.

  • No sound from my nokia lumia 720

    Hi there, only had my lumia 720 for a week and all of a sudden no sound, no key tone, no ring tone, no alarm. I have tried various things, reset etc. But no luck. My husband has the same phone, and has also experienced sound problems. Im sure nokia must be aware of this and it seems many people have the same problem. Is there anything i can do, without sending back to provider or visiting a care centre?

    I have the same problem..  No ringtone, no keypad tones, can't play songs, no alarm... Regretting after buying this phone. I got this phone a month back. Only the next day after buying this phone, there was some problem with volume keys. I had sent this to nokia service centre, they repaired it and then it worked for some days.. Again in a week's time, I noticed that I couldn't listen to songs, there was no ringtone and no alarm also I have tried all the options (recording a video as well ) but no luck. The only option left is a soft reset, which will erase all my data and downloaded apps. This is very annoying, I don't want to do this again. I have already done this once It was very painful to download apps and copy the data back. If you are aware of any other solution.. please please please help I was never a nokia fan.. but don't know why this time I thought of relying on this phone brand. I know the phones this company provides are very sturdy. But they are not so good in manufacturing smartphones. "Nokia+Windows" was something that made me buy this product. :-| Now i know, Nokia is good in only basic phones Need help...

  • Nokia lumia 720, horrible service. Demand refund ...

    Need your help!
    Ref: 1-14870426163 [SR# 1-14905564118]
    Big issue with Nokia Lumia 720, people calling can't hear a thing.
    It has been 9 days since I raised this request and a month since I first turned my phone in for service. Completely frustrated with your service. I demand that you take  back the phone and refund and compensate me for the inconvenience you have caused me.
    My email to Nokia care ....
    I purchased a new Nokia Lumia 720(Serial No: 357297054233805) from Croma in Bengaluru a couple of months back. Within two months of purchasing the phone, there was an issue with the ringer. When someone called, I would hear no ringing at all. When I played music on the speakers, there was no sound. I didn't expect this in the least from such an expensive Nokia phone.
    When I gave the phone to Nokia Care centre in Bengaluru (Ms Silk Technologies Marathalli), they fixed the ringer the next day, but managed to get scratches on the back panel and introduced an issue with the volume controls. Now even when I reduced volume to 0 sometimes I could still hear the music play on the speakers or headphone. After having waited an hour and a half, they asked me to leave the phone with them saying they will replace the back panel and fix the volume issues.
    I had to go back multiple times to Nokia care, leaving my phone and being without a replacement handset for days.
    I had called the Nokia contact centre number and raised an issue and requested that you replace the handset. However after days of patient waiting, the response from you was dismal.
    Ms Silk Technologies (Nokia care) called me the other day to inform that the phone was fixed again. They couldn't tell me what had gone wrong or how the issues were fixed. They simply said the volume issue is fixed and the back panel is replaced.
    When I reached the centre, I had to wait for an hour again before they handed me the phone.
    They had replaced the volume panel to fix the volume issue.
    However, instead of replacing the back panel, they had replaced the touch screen instead!!!
    Why replace a good, original working touch screen???????
    They then asked me to wait and proceeded to replace the back panel.
    When I tested the phone again, I found that there was a defect in the touch screen they had replaced.
    They made me wait some more time before replacing the touch screen again. I don't understand why they replaced a good touch screen in the first place.
    Again I could detect faint marks on the back panel where they had tried to remove the touch screen. They told me they have to manually lift the touch screen from the back panel and that only your factory had equipment which could neatly detach the touch screen from the back panel. What nonsense is this!!
    While waiting at the service centre, I managed to speak to quite a few people around there who had issues with Lumia 720 phones. Clearly, you have some major issues with this handset.
    It was quite late in the evening before I was finally handed the phone.
    Please note, I now have a phone which is not even a couple of months old but which has the the following parts replaced
    -. ringer
    -. touch screen
    -. back panel
    -. volume controls
    Clearly this was a faulty piece that was sold to me requiring replacement of so many parts. Instead of replacing all these parts Nokia should simply have replaced the faulty handset.
    However I still decided to take the phone.
    Next day when I started receiving calls, people calling me complained they could hardly hear me and I could hear a good amount of static noise. I had to speak up real loud or even call them back. Further after some time, I was not able to hear anything when someone called. Can you imagine my horror.
    Somehow after restarting the phone, I was able to hear when someone called. However people are still complaining sometimes they can hardly hear me and I continue to hear the static sound.
    I'm completely frustrated at this point. I complained to Ms Silk Technologies and their response was that I leave the phone with them again.
    Thanks but no thanks, I have been running behind them and you since 3rd Dec. I can't afford to waste more time running between work and nokia care.
    The decent thing for Nokia to do at this point is to refund my money and take back the phone.
    I'm completely frustrated with this experience. I had expected a much more robust phone from Nokia, alas that has not been the case.

    Unfortunately it is not possible to handle refunds or complaints via this forum. You need to contact Nokia directly in your country and submit a complaint about the service you received from the care centre.

  • Lumia 720 battery problem

    I have been using my lumia 720 for almost a month now...
    right now i am experiencing sudden loss of battery charge retention
    Except my 2G connection all other network services are disabled(i have turned off location services, 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, 2G Data Connection, no back ground applicatons either). 
    To test i fully discharged my lumia then charged to 100%
    The "Battery Saver" in "Settings read" - Remaining battery life : 100%
    Estimated Time remaining : 1 day 18 hours(Then i made a couple of calls(not more than 1 minute)
    Then Remaining battery life : 97%
    if i play music it drops to 50% in less than couple of hours
    Are any of you experiencing this??

    @Libbra - are you on 3G or WiFi? both the wireless connection options will consume more power. 
    Try this out, charge your Lumia 720 overnight. Unplug in the morning, and find out if there is any change in your battery charge retention.
    i had tried out the above and battery charge retention improved. it lasted 4 days with occassional browsing over WiFi, some calls over 2G and occassional Nokia Maps Navigation. it didnt die on 4th day but i charged it up anyway.
    The problem i reported earlier still prevails. if i remove the battery charging once it reaches 100% the charge retention is not good. 

  • Lumia 720 without Cortana?

    I installed Lumia Cyan in my Lumia 720 this August, but I still can't put my icons in folders and I don't have Cortana in my mobile. Why?

    Actually Lumia Denim has nothing to do with either Cortana being supported outside US region or Folders. These are part of the (main) first iupdate for Windows Phone 8.1 expected to see an official release next quarter and available now through the Windows Phone Developer Preview program.
    In the next update support for Cortana will extend to UK and China with (limited) alpha support for some other regions including India. More informwation is readily available elsewhere but we can't discuss this, or provided links, here due to the policies implemented on Nokia Support Discussions.

  • Problem with store app, lumia 720

    hi
    i bought lumia 720 few weeks ago, and because i can't download apps from the windows store directly (cuz i'm from syria), i have to download them to the laptop then move them to the SD card, and later open the .XAP files from the store app.
    the problem is that THE STORE APP ISN'T WORKIING, it keeps saying "service unavailiable right now. Check back in a little while".
    so now i can't download any thing on my lumia and this sucks
    plz help..

    Hi, Adeptbe. Thanks for posting your concern on our community. Does the issue occur regardless of the connection you are using? Does the date and time of your phone are properly setup? Check it by going to Settings>date+time. Also, try checking if the Microsoft account on your phone is syncing properly. Do it by going to Settings>email+accounts>press and hold Microsoft account>sync. If you encounter any error message, you may check it in here: Common Windows Store error codes. Let us know if you need further assistance.

  • In Some part Touch is not Working in Lumia 720

    I got my lumia 720 three months back.
    It was working fine.
    Suddenly day before yesterday my 3 touch keys(back,search,windows) didnt work.
    So i reset my phone.
    And after that i found that, From bottom to about 2.5 cm touch is not at all working throughout that area.
    Please help me.
    After reset two options ll be there. Emergency call and get started. M not able to select any. Because it is within that area where touch is not working

    What reset did you perform? Is this by going to Settings > About? Did you also try to press the down volume and power keys together for 10-15 seconds?
    If the touch screen is completely unresponsive, sending the phone to a Nokia Care Point is what I'd suggest.
