Nokia Lumia 925 with Black update - When low light...

The ambient light sensor doesn't seem to be correctly used in low light conditions.
In low light, with the phone "locked", just push the middle unlock button. The screen show the usual unlock screen, but at high brightness, for what seems to be a variable time (every time I do this), but not longer than 100-200 ms. Then the ambient light sensor starts to work, and reduces the display brightness.
This has only started since the black update. My Lumia 925 was working fine before, and now this display brightness problem has started. It only happens in low light conditions. If there is enough light (eg. daylight), the screen doesn't start with max brightness to begin with.
It doesn't matter if I'm using "glance" either. With this feature turned on or off, in low light conditions, this problem is the same.
I am now not using glance (I wasn't really using it before the update anyway), and I've set my screen brightness to a set value as a workaround.
OS version 8.0.10517.150
Frimware: 3051.40000.1345.1001
Hardware: 0.5.6.1
Radio: 3.2.04047.1
SOC: 8960
Solved!
Go to Solution.

So I've played with my phone more ... and I don't think there is a big problem. If I move to a room that is darker, and wait a few seconds, the phone unlock screen isn't bright when I hit the unlock button. It seems the phone now needs longer time to get used to the light conditions it is in.
Maybe the Lumia was always like this, or maybe the ambient light sensor has a slower response time now, and isn't polled as often for its reading, like it was before. More likely is that as I have been playing with the glance screen, I've been locking and unlocking quickly, while walking around. The phone hasn't had enough time to update the ambient light settings.
Interestingly, with the glance set to interval, I can still wake up the interval screen when placing my hands on the screen. I had left my phone for sometime on its own, then I lifted it up. Either my fingers or the movement triggered the glance screen to turn on. Or its has a timer as such, and just happened to turn on at this point in time ! Who knows (well I'll search for more info about the new glance settings now).
So it looks like there is no problem. Either its always been like this, and I'm testing the ambient sensor polling to the limits by pressing the unlock button often. Or the polling rate has been reduced (maybe to help increase battery life).

Lumia 620 with black update - battery draining

Since the Black update my phone battery drains and phone shuts down without warning. battery saver is on! This never happened prior to the update and all my settings were as before the update and my usage habits havnt changed (minimal use)
I'm on OS Ver.8.0.10517.150 firmware: 3056.40000.1404.0001
- wifi is on (as before)
- data is off (as before)
- Location is off (as before)
Infact I do not have many of the apps I had on prior since the update did not pick up & restore my settings. The Microsoft account refused to let me log in after the update and I had to circumvent that by Adding my account thru settings which prevented my settings/apps from being restored.
Anyone else facing this issue of the battery draining and ...
is there a solution for this (other than re-installing the update which I havnt yet tried)?

Found this article on the support site and made sure I had these set. So far so good ... we'll know in the next 24 hours. I guess the update had turned on several other features I had off previously!

Nokia Lumia 925 Windows phone keeps shutting down

     I have had a problem for the past 2 months, my Nokia Lumia 925 with Win 8.1 keeps shutting down spontaneously. (I did not have this problem before 8.1) This is my third phone in the last 2 months (warranty program keeps sending me replacements) and it shut down for the first time this morning. All 3 have developed the same problem, the phone will shut down spontaneously and the only way to start it up again is a soft reset (Volume down + Power for 15 seconds). I have had a total of 10-15 shutdowns between the 3 phones and this is a conservative estimate.
     I am thinking that this has to be a setting or an app that I use (and few others do) that is causing the shutdown since I have only seen a few other similar issues in the forums. Here are some of the basic facts about my situation and some of the actions I have taken:
              - I have wiped the phones repeatedly (3 phones wiped a total of 3 or 4 times not including the initial setup of the replacement phones, which is getting really old--really fast).
               - I have tried turning off NFC, but that obviously wasn't the issue because NFC was off this morning when it shut off.
                - I have tried trimming the screen protector/screen guard I installed as suggested in one of the other forums even though that seemed ridiculous (I think that was a different model phone too, but I gave it a shot)
I have not noticed any common occurrence such as
                           --when a certain app is running
                           --when it is on/off charger,
                           -- When the battery is full or low (it was 24% this morning).
               -I have 2 chargers, 3 if you include the car charger that I have never had to use due to great battery life.
               - I have called tech support several times, all AT&T can tell me is that this is not a known issue and I should wipe it again. Nokia says the same and that I should send it back to them for repairs. That seems fruitless to me because I have had 3 different phones, what are they going to repair that a new phone won't fix?
       It takes me 3 hours to reinstall and set up my apps, I am getting very frustrated. I really love the way this phone functions, the software is good, the screen is brilliant and very sensitive, the camera is great (although a bit slow), and the size and feel are perfect for me...I hope that someone here on the forums can help.
Thanks for your help in advance...

Hello, mariaadamsky.
We appreciate you reaching out to our community regarding your concern. You are using a Lumia 925 as well, correct? Did something happen to your phone that possibly caused such behavior? Did you try doing fixes on it?
Latest software released for Lumia phones is the Lumia Cyan. To confirm that you have it installed on your phone, go to Settings> extras+info. You can also try going to Settings> phone update> check for updates to check if there's an available update. Are your system apps also updated? While connected to WiFi, go to Store> ...> downloads to check for pending updates. Let's hope that the phone will not shut down while doing this process.
By the way, we can try other fixes that could help us identify the real cause of the issue. In case you wish to have it repaired in a Nokia Care Point, warranty claim may vary per region and Nokia does not have an international warranty. Also, creating a backup is a must to avoid data loss. Where did you buy the phone and where are you located right now? To know about the manufacturer's limited warranty, go here: http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/guides/Nokia_Manufacturers_Limited_Warranty_with_W....
We look forward to your reply.

Unable to update my lumia 720 with Amber update

I am unable to update my nokia Lumia 720 with Amber update, even though it is available in India. Plz help me in this.

hi mate, do you have an Indian country variant 720 do you? i would check this and also liaise with Nokia Care in your country directly as to the status of the update. if the update has just been published recently, then it can take a few weeks before it rolls out as it is a phased roll-out.

Problem with Nokia Lumia 925

This is what i encountered with my nokia Lumia 925 after 3 days of usage, i am not sure anyone besides me, facing the same problem.
- Overheating, after taking few photos, the phone feel a sudden of heat near the camera.
- Freeze, the phone freeze sometimes, and auto turn off the wifi, when you open it, it says you need to restart the phone, before can turn on the wifi.
- Music + videos apps, when you swipe your music in the apps, the apps freezes, but music still playing. Frustrated when you trying to change tracks.
- Video, i transfer some of my video via windows 8 to the phone, some of it lagging while playing the video. i have try numerous video format, it is still the same. I think it is a software problem. It works fine on my old lumia.
- Auto reboot, my phone has been reboot for 2 times, one time is after a called,another one is after i finish using my wechat application.
Lastly, i love lumia 925, i think the design and the pictures capability are what i really in love with, but i hope someone from nokia could tell me how to solve the above problems.

Hi, Di_vico. Does this mean you are not using the case anymore? Do you have a Lumia 925 as well?
As the concern is present with a case on, try doing the below steps. Let's check if these will correct it.
1. Press and hold the volume down and the power buttons at the same time until you feel a vibration (about 10-15 seconds). Your phone will restart automatically.

2. Check that your device is running the latest software version. Go to Settings > phone update.
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-ph/how-to/wp8/basics/how-do-i-update-my-phone-software

the phone is almost 3 years old they may not update it.. But then again there are suprise around every corner sometimes. People with the 830 are waiting for an update also.When the update came out the phone was about two years old. Now we expect GDR2. On the Microsoft update page there are seven AT&T Lumia phones. There would be eight but the 830 is no longer listed. Did AT&T have it removed ? Only three of these phones have the Denim update available, that is 37.5%. Is AT&T even trying, I don't think so. The same models of phones all over the world have been updated. Now WP10 is coming up. Microsoft says they will update WP10 directly, no carrier in the middle and they say it will be available to all phones and only phones running Lumia Denim, OS version 8.10.14219.341 or higher can be upgraded. So, the phone has to have at least Denim before you can update.Will Windows 10 update be available for my Lumia phone? We bought two 920's from AT&T in 2012. Wife is still using hers and I replaced mine with a 1520.3 last year. It has Qi wireless charging and 32GB memory, not the AT&T version. We no longer have a contract and never will, using 'bring your own phone'.The other 62.5% of the Lumia phone users with AT&T probably feel the same way.

Nokia Lumia 925 speaker phone is always "ON"

I just got a Nokia Lumia 925 replacement phone a couple of days ago and upon first using the phone feature the speaker phone is always ON, without the speaker phone tile being selected. If I click on the Speaker Phone Tile nothing changes, the phone remains on speaker phone when I talk on the phone. Is there a settnig I need to change or do I need to replace the phone.
In addition to this annoying problem, I can't answer calls in my car via handsfreelink. I can connect my phone to the car, I can hear the phone ring in the car when someone calls me, but the minute there is a connect I can't hear the person at all. I think it is related to this speaker phone problem.
Note: I haven't dropped it or got it wet. It's a brand new phone.
Thanks!

hi mate, check that the phone is up to date with the latest firmware along with the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store. also try performing a soft reset.

Nokia Lumia 925 Camera problem - Ranlie Basas

I have bought Nokia Lumia 925, and i has camera problem. My Nokia Lumia, not working properly. Please help. Best regards, Ranlie Basas

hi mate, have you tried resetting the Nokia Camera settings to default, and also checking that you are fully up to date with the latest firmware for your device, along with the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store?

Nokia Lumia 925 No Display After Switch On

When I switch my Nokia Lumia 925 off and then turn it back on again I get no display.
I know its on because I can press the on/off/ button and the soft keys will vibrate when touched.
I can even take a picture using the camera key, confirmed with a flash but I have no display whatsoever.
Anyone else experienced this issue? Soft reset seems to the the trick but I get the same issue everytime I turn my phone off and turn it back on again.
I love the phone to pieces but this issues are starting to dwell on me and whether I made the right choice.
My OS info if it helps is:
OS: 8.0.10328.78
Firmware: 3047.0000.1326.2005
Hardware 1.0.0.0
Chip SOC version 8960

In the light of this, my advice is to take it back to where you bought it from. There's clearly something wrong with your unit.
The Lumia 925 is a great phone. Don't let this bad experience change your opinion of the model. You may have had bad luck with yours, but it doesn't mean that *every* Lumis 925 suffers from the same fault!
Have it looked at by your nearest Nokia care point or, if you got it from an operator, contact them instead for the procedure to follow. They might even be able to give you further advice and things to try that could fix it for you without having to send it off.

Does nokia Lumia 630 support denim update

respected sir myself Amol I want to know that does Nokia Lumia 630 support denim update I am from India if not then when it will be available.
thank you.
best regards,
amol

Hello,
you can check here ([1]) which release is available for your device. For the Lumia 630 in India that is the Cyan release.
[2] reads "For all other Lumia Windows Phone 8 smartphones, the update will start rolling out during Q4 2014, following partner testing and approvals", so I think
it is only a matter of time when the update is deployed to the Lumia 630 in India.

Lumia 925 apps not updated Error:80060010

My wife's Lumia 925 does not update apps. In the store tile it shows number of pending apps, but when opening the store, I only can see adds of various apps. Sometimes get Error code 80060010. What's wrong?
I do not have similar problems with my own 1020.

Good day. Visit this link: I cannot download or update apps from Store and see if the workarounds will do the trick. The link may be intended for the US, but the content is applicable wherever your location is. Keep us posted. ;-)

Transfer My Data app is the latest version.
