NOKIA Lumia 710: Touch screen focus no longer work...

Hello.
I've only had my Lumia 710 for two weeks.  Up until 4 days ago, the touch screen focus attribute was working perfectly.  I was taking pictures and it simply stopped working.
I've since tried resetting the camera options back to defaults with no luck.  I recently updated the phones software pn 10.18.2012 with no change either.  I also took out the battery and sim card out of frustration and obviously had no luck.
Aside from having to do a hard reset, does anyone have any suggestions regarding how to possibly fix this?
Maybe I'm missing an obvious and simple setting?  Maybe not. Lol
Thank you. :-)

Hi Oddmoore,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
Normally Nokia Lumia 710 should focus on the part you tap with your finger (and show a reticle while doing so) and snap a picture. There is no setting to switch this off, so it should be working by default.  We would advise you to reset your phone at Settings > About > Reset your phone. Just remember to backup your media files before doing so, because it will wipe your phone clean. If the issue persists, visit your local Nokia Care point and let them have a look. 
Hope this helps!

    Unfortunately upon this manufacturer's sponsored forum discussion of disassembly of devices is prohibited primarily due to warranty considerations and can only advise visiting Nokia Care facility. That said screen connectors are quite delicate and if not familiar you may complicate the issue trying to repair it yourself.

  • Re: Nokia Lumia 710's screen

    Dear Nokia technicians,
    First of all it's a really good phone & this is my 4th Nokia phone. The only problem is it's screen. See the attached pics & look at the upper right hand corner of the phone screen. This is a defect which can be seen through bare eyes but the Nokia care center(NCC) guy said that it's a regular feature. How can a defect be a feature of the phone????
    My brand new phone also had a flickering screen which the NCC replaced with the current defective screen.
    Though that defect doesn't hamper the functioning of the phone but WHY CAN'T I HAVE A NOKIA WITH PERFECT SCREEN??????????
    And it's also causing it's brand to deteriorate 'coz whenever my friends see my phone they asks me about the screen & I have to tell them that it's defective.

  • Nokia Lumia 710 Slide Screen sticking

    The right side seems to stick when I try to slide up or down, works okay on the left side of the screen, but sticks occasionally.  Any fixes?  Love the phone have had it a year, hope it's not dying cause the warranty expired.

    That is normal if it is a new phone. It will eventually get smooth when continually used especially when your fingers are oily.

  • Reinstalle​d Windows 7 home from Windows 8 now touch screen keeps droping (not working)

    Had to reload windows 7 home on my TM2 2151nr.  Touch screen worked but had to install updates to get the wireless to work. After updates installed touch screen and wireless worked. Got up this am and now the touch screen is no longer working.  Check and no other update had been installed had the update option turned off after both the wireless and touch had been working. 
    I have been trying to get the touchscreen to continue to work after having to install updates for the wireless updates.  Reloaded windows not 3 times, but each time the touchscreen function stops working.
    What next?

    Here are the factory specs for your HP TouchSmart tm2-2151nr Notebook Computer.According to the specs, this model shipped from the factory with Windows bit installed and a means to create your own set of "HP Recovery Discs". Provided you created these discs and used them to return the computer to a "factory like state", all drivers and software should be automatically installed.
    If, however, you are using a standard Windows 7 installation disc, you will need to load all drivers yourself. Most HP provides drivers for this model should be located on the HP TouchSmart tm2-2151nr Notebook PC Drivers page. If you are unable to locate some drivers please post the Windows Device Manager's "Hardware Ids" for any missing or unknown devices as shown in the example below;
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • My Nokia Lumia 710 stopped working during updating...

    My Nokia Lumia 710 was connected to my Pc by cable and was being updated. As the updating was going on, probably during the 7th or 8th step, it hanged and stopped responding. The updating could not complete. The worst is that the phone can no longer be powered off except when you remove the battery and after replacing the battery, it cannot boot, except to draw a diagram of phone connected to a PC. That was the stage in the updating process when it stopped working.
    Please, advice me on what to do becasuse the phone is of no longer use to me. I bought it in December 2012 and it got spoilt in April 2013. I have taken to Nokia Care centre around me. but the price they said they will use to repair it is equivalent to buying a new one. Please help.

  • No batteries for Nokia Lumia 710?

    I am in Perth, Western Australia and I am one unhappy customer
    Last Friday I went to Battery World to get a spare battery for my new Nokia Lumia 710 as I'm travelling overseas.
    They don't have them. I phoned JB HIFI as I bought the phone from them. They don't have them. On Saturday I phoned Nokia Care. They said they had a shop at Morley (quite a distance from me).They also said go to JB HIFI (I told them they don’t have batteries), **bleep** Smith, Harvey Norman or Telechoice. I went to each of these, they don’t have them and never have, nor did they give any indication that they ever would have them.
    I went to the Telstra Shop. The chap kindly looked up the address for Nokia Customer Care here in Morley, Perth, Australia – he commented that I could not phone them because their phone number was no longer on the website. Therefore there was no way of my checking that they had a battery before I went there. I drove quite a distance to Morley. When I eventually found the business I was greeted with Business Hours 09:30 to 17:30 Monday to Friday.
    When I returned home I phoned Nokia Customer Care. I told them I had driven to the business and it was shut and it would have been nice to have been told that before I drove there. They told me that’s quite right they are not open on Saturdays. I was once again told to go to JB HIFI, **bleep** Smith, Harvey Norman, Telechoice. I told them they had already told me that and I had already established and told Nokia Customer Care that they did not have batteries and never had them.
    I was told they would send through a query (?to God) and I would receive an SMS in 24-48 business hours as to whether there was a battery available at Nokia Customer Care. Today I received a voice mail telling me that there are no batteries available at Nokia Customer Care at Morley. Once again I am told to go to JB HIFI, **bleep**  Smith, Harvey Norman, Telechoice.
    I feel like I have been sold a phone for which there are no batteries. With every other mobile phone I have owned I have always had a spare battery, especially when travelling overseas. No wonder it was “cheap”.
    I am now faced with travelling overseas with a phone for which there is no possibility of purchasing a spare battery.
    I sincerely hope that no-one is buying these phones to run their business with.
    I am extremely disappointed and I would advise that nobody purchases this product. Which is a shame since I was happy with the product. It simply never occurred to me that there were no replacement batteries for this product. If I had known that I would not have purchased it.

    Hi rednomad,
    Thanks for your contribution and thanks for posting.
    Sorry to hear you are having a hard time finding an additional battery for your Lumia 710. The Lumia 710 uses the BP-3L battery which should be available through any Nokia Care Point. A list of Nokia Care Points in Perth can be found here. If the battery is not available they should be able to order one for you.
    Also if you search for 'Nokia Lumia 710 Battery BP-3L' on the web you will find a number of sources within Australia which will be able to provide you with this battery model. Make sure though you buy an original Nokia battery.
    Hope this helps,

  • Nokia lumia 710 & dropbox.

    Why can't I vieuw most of my videos ( mp4 ) with dropbox on my nokia lumia 710 please ? Are they too long ?
    Thanks for your help.

    Well some app/program is not tidying up after itself. It is difficult to advice which not knowing how you use your phone and what apps you use. The ones I mentioned earlier are some of the more common culprits. If you can figure it out then you may have to resort to resetting your phone if it continues to drop to a critical level.

    Hello, comima. Yes. You have to use the Zune software to sync or transfer your files between your phone and your computer. Also, you won't be able to update the phone's software without the said tool. To know more about it, you can visit this link: Get to know the Zune software. If you decided to uninstall it, your files are still saved on the computer. In case you would like to delete the photos at the same time, just look for the folder on your computer. We look forward to your reply.  

  • Memory storage distribution in nokia lumia 710

    I am using Nokia lumia 710. I have downloaded 4 games and taken some photos and videos from my mobile. Mobile is giving instruction to delete something and showing full memory. I think it shouldn't happen because it has 8 G.B. Internal memory. So what to do to solve this problem.

    Have you downloaded a lot of map data for Nokia Drive? These usually account for a large amount of memory usage. Also clear browser cache, check emails, especially those with large attachments and also messgges.

  • How do i get adresses from iphone to nokia lumia 710

    how do i get adressbook from iphone or mac tot nokia lumia 710?

    If you want your photos to end up in iPhoto, just do a normal sync. If you don't want to use iPhoto, or if you just want to put your phone photos in a normal visible folder on the desktop, luckily when you plug in the iPhone a Mac sees it like a camera or card reader. This means the iPhone will show up in common applications that have an import-from-camera feature. I've copied photos off my iPhone using Apple Image Capture, PhoneView, and Adobe Lightroom, for example.

  • Facebook stopped working on Nokia Lumia 710

    I cannot access or add my facebook account to my Nokia Lumia 710 windows phone. Earlier today the people app stopped updating notifications from facebook. When I looked at the account info it said the account "required attention" I tried to sync then re-enter my password. The phone then said it had trouble connecting to facebook. I deleted the account then tried to re-add it. When I tried to add it said "something went wrong"

    Same issue here with my lumia 800. I went for a run last night about 9pm and was doing the same by the time I got back about 9:45pm
    Anyone else had this?
    The Facebook app doesn't work either. Facebook mobile works so I can access it so I know the password is correct.
