Navigation App with alternative routes Lumia 1020

Has anyone found a good navigation app that will give an alternative route?
With my android phone I've used Google maps and Scout.  I can't find one for the Windows phone.

Hi @ewand ,
There must be an option to make the Audi completely forget the phone, as well as removing the car from the list of known bluetooth devices on the phone, then start the pairing again. It is unclear from your previous post if this has been tried already? (Re-pairing can be interpreted in different ways).
I am puzzled why it would work on one phone and not the other similar phone.

  • Testing app with physical phone (Lumia 521)

    We are developing an app and need to test it. Since we are running VS2012 in a virtual machine, we cannot use the emulator. Can we load the program from VS2012 to the 521 for testing purposes?

    Please see the following link for using the Windows Phone Store Beta App Program. This will allow you to distribute the application as a beta app in the store. You need to provide all live id of your users and send them the link to the store.

  • Microsoft Update Lumia 1020 apps crash

    Just had a scary experience with this update.
    After updating ALL my apps crashed and my Lumia 1020 would only call, txt, go on browser and take photos. Luckily I found a solution via Twitter. You need to instal the Italian Keyboard, which will take an age to install and in effect do a further update to the phone and after migrating your data the phone works fine. I have tried it and it works, just be patient.

  • Lumia 1020 Freezes, Battery Heating Up, OS Crashes...

    Hi there everyone, this is my first post here, I hope I can get some help from you guys regarding my problem with my lovely Lumia 1020.
    10 days ago, I received my Lumia 1020 ( it was a gift from a friend from Norway), I live in Iraq. So warranty isn't provided here cause I went to Nokia Care in my country, they checked the IMEI and they told me that this phone wasn't imported by them, so no warranty is provided for it.
    Once I powered up my phone, completed settings,  it checked for an update and asked me to download it. And sure I did download it at once!. Kept updating until it reached the latest Lumia Cyan Update. Checked and saw I have a WP 8.1 phone. 
    Took some photos, here and there, everything was going good. Plugged in the charger to charge my phone. Then an hour later I went to check the charge and I was surprised to see my lovely Lumia 1020 heating up like crazy!!! .. I'm talking about severe heating, not a normal one due to charging.
    Plugged out the phone from the charger ( original Nokia charger provided with the original box ), and I tried to unlock it, but no way! it doesn't respond to anything at all, Glance screen was stuck at the time of an hour ago. Quickly opened my laptop and googled the issue and did a soft reset at once. Then put the mobile in front of the air conditioner until it cooled down. Time/Date was reset ( very annoying ) but everything was normal ever since until at some random time, the phone freezes. Sometimes it doesn't heat up, I wait for 5 minutes or so and the phone reboots by itself. But there are times that the phone is stuck for hours ( no heat though ) so I have to soft reset it manually. And there are times when the phone freezes and heats up like crazy and I soft reset it on purpose being afraid that something might happen to the phone.
    Googled everywhere, tried everything: Replaced charger, Replaced SIM card, Tried Airplane mode, Factory Reset, Nokia Software Recovery, Disabling Background apps, Disabling/Enabling Location w/wo NFC, Deleting FB & Skype, Disabling Glance & Double Tap to wake, Downgrading to WP 8 ( both Amber & Cyan via Nokia Care Suit ), ... etc everything software related has been tried. And the phone still freezes randomly. Which leads me to say that it's definitely a hardware defect that is causing these issues as my friend has the exact phone, everything enabled, and not a single freeze.
    I'm desperate here, if anyone of you could give me an advice, I would be thankful.
    Thanks and sorry for the long post!

    I'm sorry to hear about your troubles with it.
    As you mentioned here, you've done everything that can be done to your phone software wise, and it still plays up.
    And as you further mentioned, it's related to hardware failure.
    As your device is not covered by warranty in Iraq, you will either have to pay for the repairs down there or send it back to your friend in Norway who can then send it in for warranty repair/replacement.

  • Nokia Lumia 1020 Recording Questions

    I'm planning on recording a show that I am involved in with a Nokia Lumia 1020 (which I haven't actually got yet), but was wondering whether it's possible to use the 1020 as just a camcorder and live capture/save the video file to a laptop?
    I've heard ways of doing it with a camcorder and live capturing it straight into Sony Vegas.
    But getting a new phone sounds much better than getting a new camcorder or camera.
    Also, one other reason for me thinking of using the 1020 is because the previous cameras we've used to record shows haven't been great at recording in a theatre and seem to get a bit drowned in light, since the theatre itself is dark (especially at the back where the camera will be) and the stage is flooded with bright stage lights, it often makes the dances and dancers look bad.
    Do you think the Lumia 1020 would be alright with this situation?
    So, two questions there!
    Thanks,
    Joe!

    I would be sure that you have nothing on your device memory to ensure that you have enough memory. it is going to record in 1080p unless you choose otherwise. so the file is going to be big.
    I do not believe there is a way to record using your 1020 and have it live save to a memory outside of the device memory. at least, I have not heard of or seen anything to say this is possible.
    coloring, imo, should be pretty good. so long as there isn't any lights aimed directly at the camera. I have been very happy with its videos that it creates.

  • Lumia 1020 car mp3 music conncetion breaks down a...

    Hi was riding with Iphone connceted to my audi for many years without problem. I have with the Nokia Lumia 1020 the following isues:
    a) when connceted I can only play when having logged in-->this is acceptable
    b) when phone than is operational with MP3 music, it disconnects ater 5-6 minutes. sometimes longer but most likely 5-6 min in 90% of all cases. Than I need to reconnect. this is disturbing as i have my phoen 
    for pictures and for music...
    any clue?..any spacial things I have to change in the software...let me know?
    ape

    There were a lot of Bluetooth carkit issues upon the Lumia 920 which improved with release of Amber update, so hopefully this will be attended to in a future update. Ironically music streaming is via A2DP profile, whilst most of issues with 920 were related to HFP = Hands Free Profile.

  • Lumia 1020; app update error 80073cf6 after cyan ...

    I updated my Lumia 1020 to the Nokia Cyan firmware today. Most of the app updates went fine but now some updates from the store are stuck with the error code 80073cf6.
    I tried restarting the phone but that does not help. Any ideas?

    The "error code 80073cf6" in Windows 8 on PC's suggest trouble in the store cache on the device, and there are procedures to reset and clear this on a PC - but this is only possible on Windows Phone by performing a factory reset.
    I hesitate to advice a factory reset of the phone since it is a lot of work, and may not solve the problem! Also, since this is trouble between the Store and the phone, it may be solved in an update of the phone or the store later.
    I would sit tight for a while (days or weeks ...) unless the apps are important here and now, and keep an eye on new updates to the phone, and retry the download once in a while, but it's your decision whether to try a factory reset.
    Microsoft have information of devices failing to download apps from the store, and if your specific trouble affect enough people, changes are likely to be made (days or weeks ...)

  • Lumia 1020 with Cyan, disconnecting from Audi Blue...

    My UK Lumia 1020 worked fine with my Audi RS4 (with 2010+ RNS-E update), until I upgraded it to Cyan - now it disconnects and reconnects about every 60-90 seconds. I've tried re-pairing the phone, even tried a reflash back to factory settings (with Nokia Software Recovery Tool) and it's still doing it.
    I had an old HTC 8x that did the same on the previous navigation system I had in the car (a 2007 RNS-E) and that happened when a software update was pushed out - I had the device replaced and held off applying the update, and it stayed working.
    My wife has a 1020 which has exactly the same OS software and firmware version number, and it works just fine in the same car.
    Any ideas or other things I could try? It's driving me nuts...

    Hi @ewand ,
    There must be an option to make the Audi completely forget the phone, as well as removing the car from the list of known bluetooth devices on the phone, then start the pairing again.

  • Lumia 1020 battery life with here+

    My Lumia 1020 battery life is very poor when using here+ for navigation. The phone also gets hot. Typically it only can be used for about two hours.
    Even when connected to the car cigarette lighter outlet the battery consumption is faster than charging and the phone gets hot.
    Is this normal or should I send it for service? The phone is about 4 months old and in normal use the battery life is more than one day and I have not noticed any heating either. I have installed all available updates regularly. I have also installed the maps I normally use into the phone.

    Thanks,
    I understand TomTom is not a phone and has less fuctions than Lumia. For this reason its power consumption should also be lower. I believe though, that a phone maker like Nokia has put a lot more efforts to reduce and optimise power consumption.
    I have now been testing with a 3.1 A charger in the car and it is able to charge the battery while navigating. The device does get hot, however, but as you say it is normal.
    I did also try to use it when biking and was using a 10 Ah Powerbank with 2 A outlet. That did not seem to be able to overcome phone's power consumption, but the battery was slowly reducing charge. This arrangement would anyway allow several hours navigating, which is quite enough for normal use. Without this external battery its useless for longer biking or walking tours, unless you turn off navigation when it is not necessary. This is a bit complicated, though. TomTom is even worse for this kind of off-line use, its battery seems to be quite small.
    I also noticed that it is important to remember to turn off navigation when keeping the phone in pocket, it really gets uncomfortably hot there.
    I'll also have to study Lumia's manual a bit more carefully, as I had often difficulties in changing targets and turning off navigation. Probably just because I had misunderstood some instructions.

  • Lumia 1020 auto focus in video when used in apps.....

    Hi. If I want to take a video clip up close using the Nokia Lumia 1020 on WhatsApp or Skype, the auto focus just will not fire. It stays zoomed out, and is only useful for taking clips really far away. This is incredibly frustrating given that I bought this phone for the camera. 
    Is this a bug in the phone? or is my phone broken?
    Auto focus only works when using the actual camera app. Skype and WhatsApp seem to ignore the "auto focus" setting that I've turned on in the default camera app and the Nokia Camera app...
    Really disappointed.  
    Jez

    not sure as i haven't used those apps myslef, but for example, if you use Vine, there is a setting in there that allows you to lock the focus. it appears to me that auto-focus isn't automatically enabled / enabled at all in certain apps. you will need to contact the developers of the apps themselves for further feedback, as this is a user to user forum only for Nokia products and services.

  • Having problem with the Lumia 1020 camera

    I got my Lumia 1020 today (from ATT). The camera worked fine when I took some pictures with auto settings. Then when I decided to change the settings the camera apeture closed completly as it was taking a photo...but didn't open again. And still doesn't open. I tried to do factory reset and nothing. Still having this problem. I tried to see if there is any update .. nope. I went to Settings --> Applicatoins and on the camera option there is a Reset Camera. I press there but nothing happen. 
    So now everytime I open the camera I see just a black screen with no options on the screen. 
    Is anyone having this problem?

    Hi nrabishek,
    Welcome to the forum! 
    When did the camera issue start to happen on your Lumia phone? Is it for a 1020 as well, or for another Nokia Lumia phone? Did you try doing the same troubleshooting steps mentioned in the previous post? You may try doing the other fixes shown at this link: Nokia Lumia 1020 - My camera is not working correctly.
    Let us know how it will go. 

  • Lumia 1020 reframe image not working with Lumia Bl...

    The reframe function in the Nokia Camera app on my Lumia 1020 overwrites the original full-res image when saving after a reframe. 
    I have Lumia Black and Nokia Camera app v4.5.1.5
    There was an earlier post that Dec versions of the Nokia Camera app would solve the problem or that turning off Skydrive auto-upload would solve the problem but those didn't work on my 1020.
    Nokia Support always tell you to reset the phone but since that is not guaranteed to solve the problem, what are options can Nokia Support offer?

    Just checked this and it works fine for me. I can reframe and save, close the app then browse the gallery, open the image from there and zoom out again to the full image and save.

  • Is it possible to sync Lumia 1020 with Windows Con...

    I was considering a Lumia 1020 (or perhaps an upcoming version with same camera capability), but something seems to be wrong there.
    For now I am still using a Nokia N8 together with Nokia Suite. I can sync my Windows Contacts *including the contact image for each contact* (where available). Also, when I am on my desk, I send and read received SMS messages exclussively on PC, phone connected via bluetooth. No cable, no cloud involved, I even don't have to touch or look at phone itself.
    Some time ago, during one of the Nokia Suite upgrades, I remember it said something like „added compatibility with Lumia phones”. However, these days I read that Lumia is only compatible with Zune, which AFAIK is merely a multimedia sync platform.
    I don't want to upload my contacts in cloud (any cloud, regardless the owner).
    I don't want to install Outlook. I seem to remember that the Outlook version I already have cannot use the xml Windows Contacts, but only the older Address book or something. As for contact pictures, no way.
    So, question: assuming I own a Lumia 1020, can I use Nokia Suite the same I was used to ?
    If not, Zune is able to handle the Windows Contacts in same way ?
    What about sending and reading received SMS messages using the PC ?

    That I begin to understand. I don't care much about what brand, but for my work I do care about a very good phone camera with xenon flash and a good associated PC application where I can copy and paste strings to and from SMS messages (among other things). So it seems I have to look elsewhere.
    Too bad. Nokia 808 was a perfect thing for this purpose, but unfortunately it was never marketed in my geographical location. Now things only gets worse.

    Wrong. I tested direct contacts sync between a Samsung Galaxy tablet with my PC using their dedicated application, Kies. The contacts imported well into the tablet, *including contact pictures*, which is what I am looking for. I didn't checked the messaging since the tablet was not a phone, but I suspect that it also works. Unfortunately the actual photos taken with Samsung phone cameras that are equipped also with xenon flash are of lower quality than those taken with Nokia 808 or Lumia 1020.

        If you feel this way you should actually not be on the internet anyway.
    No really. I'm on internet since 1995 when only meteorological clouds were in existence and I didin't encounter any problem browsing the internet then because of that. In 2004 the software that accompanied my Motorola E398 was able to do both address book sync and handle SMS messages just pure and simple, via cable or BT. Then my Nokia N73 and later Nokia N8 were able to do same things through Ovi/Nokia Suite, still directly, including contact pictures sync if on Windows Vista or later.
    Today (2015 already) I've been told that things have evolved, so I can no longer exchange some trivial information between two devices located near to each other, but instead I have to use thousands of miles distances, to have an account somewhere, to be logged in, etc., only to transfer something between myself and myself, actually the same something as yesterday.
    Frankly I'm glad to hear that this internet is not for me.
    Without wanting this specifically (on the contrary), it appears that I am forced to consider also this company not (or no longer) compatible with me.
