Notification light on lumia 925

Really need some kind of notification light on the 925, instead of having to wake up the phone to see what I've missed. The flashing windows light when charging would be an ideal notification light. Is there any hope of Nokia making this happen with a future software update? Is this even possible?

Wrong forum. You should be asking Microsoft and not Nokia. Incidentally it has been requested thousands of times over on the Microsoft site and you can vote for it using the link below.

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

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).

PUSH NOTIFICATIONS DOESNT WORK IN LUMIA 925!!!!!

I have tried Facebook, Instance, Viber. Nothing pops out in the lock screen. It seems only txt and phone calls only register to Lumia 925. I am on 3G/4G LTE connection and even on the wifi it doesnt pop out. Why is it like this? Any social thing doesnt come out
Any help?

I'm also having thesame problems now.
My phone used to work brillaintly, but then had a fault and I had to restore it back to its factory settings. Since then, the push notifications no longer work.
And I have double checked the settings. Also manually checked/activated the notifications in each individual app that uses them. But nothing seems to be working.
Very frustrating as I have friends around the world and we often communicate via Facebook or What'sApp and it was easy before - because I would receive FB messages like they were text messages, but they don't come through now.

Lumia 925: missing notifications when receiving te...

On my new Lumia 925 I am missing almost all notifications when receiving regular text messages. When I say 'almost' it is because I have once seen the icon on the lock screen and the screen with the floating clock.
I have configured messages to be shown on lock screen as well as mail, twitter and Facebook (and a couple more). Tweets (like DMs etc) are shown as icons every time - but not regular text messages.
Is anyone experiencing the same as I am?

I called 611 and their reply was they were unaware of this app/feature. For now I'm paying for their blocking service.
The 611 person recommended to visit nokia.com but it seems also a dead end. Still I'm trying to find out more info on why this app is not available.
However, I'm not ready yet to do so since I have a "Jump" contract that allows me to swap this phone with a new one after 6 months.
If I find out more I will update this message, I hope this can help

Lumia 925 capacitive buttons light on/off scheme

Hi everyone,
I have just bought a Lumia 925 and have been using it for 2 weeks. It operates on Lumia Cyan firnware with WP 8.1. The point that I do not understand is the capacitive buttons light on/off scheme. Buttons lights turns on and off arbitrarily. There is no matter you are using it in under bright or dark environment or condition, the lights turn on and off arbitrarily. Why? or is there a operation scheme that I could not realize?! Confused...

I vaguely remember being annoyed by that when I first got my 1520, coming from a 900. I don't know if they changed it, or if I got used to it. I tired just now, but I'm not sure what's supposed to make them turn off. Under what conditions would you need them to be off? I would understand dimming with the screen. Those who said they aren't always on, what do you do to make them go off? I tried battery saver mode and it didn't do it. Maybe I need to go in a dark closet?
I wish that was the worst problem I had with my capacitive buttons...

Lumia Denim performacnce is not good as Cyan. I have lumia 925 and it is heating more after upgrade.
What OS giant??
I reset the phone but still it is worst.
It heats like a hell.
Lumia is like wired phone. very poor battery performance.
So many Apps are not able to start.
I was happy with Cyan. Denim is not so great as expected.

Notification Light: Missed Calls / Received SMS

I'm really, really wanting to upgrade to a Nokia Lumia 925, however wondering when / if a notification light function is going to be incorporated into the Windows Phone range (or specifically 925). Simple, but handy feature - would like to know if it is in the works?
Thanks

Hi all,
I installed Cyan update less than a week ago (Finland). Everything worked fine, but today my Lumia 925 started to install by itself software updates after which it erased ALL information (pictures, personal software. addressbook etc) from the phone! I also received an SMS from Microsoft congratulating me for buying a Lumia! All the software that is left is the "original" as if I just had purchased the phone.
I logged into my Microsoft account but no information was recovered. I guess this has to do with cyan update.
Can you help me please?!

You should not need to use the software reinstallation tool in this case, simply perform a reset of the phone from Settings, provided the backup option was switched on before the update you will have a backup linked to your Microsoft account, and your contacts at least are automatically sunced with that anyway. Automatic back-ups are normally switched on by defalut.
When the phone starts after the reset, there is an option during the boot-up process that asks if you wish to reinstall an earlier backup. Again, as long as you had all options selected, the resotration would inlude all items from the last back-up.
With regard to the update happening automatically, the phone can (if the setting is switched on) download updates automatically but it is not installed automatically, you would have received a notification on the screen and you would have pressed to install, perhaps this happened at a time when you were preoccupied and you pressed without checking what the notification referred to.
The welcome message is an automated part of the initial boot-up process, even after resets and updates.

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.

Lumia 925 camera

Hi. I bought a new phone. When I start taking pictures, I quickly find out that something is wrong. All pictures look like they are out of focus on top left side. When I send phone to service, they say nothing is wrong. They said that all Lumia 925 are making the same photos. Can anybody send me your pictures, taken with Lumia 925 for comparison and to have proof they are wrong. If any of the people from Nokia are reading this, I also post 3 photos taken with my phone.
I also search for possible problems that make this affect. Angled lens make similar affect. If you whant more details, contact me.
From such a product like Nokia Lumia I didn't expect such a problem.

How are you taking the photos , physical camera button, onscreen camera button or touch to focus and take ? The only one that looks to be 'out of focus' is the third one , which actually looks more blown out due to the light source. All the photos look to be focussed perfectly in the centre in each case. I honestly don't know if there is a fault with your phone, but as you have already had the phone checked I just wonder if there is anything you may be doing inadvertantly that is affecting the result ?
Also which camera app are you using, you don't by any chance use the standard camera app and have the default set at close up ? As I say I really don't know the cause of your issue but if it has been checked I am just trying to think of possible reasons . You can of course try Nokia Care again.
Good Luck

Nokia lumia 925 display problem

Hi everyone,
I have owned Lumia 925 and having trouble with its display as it gets low in din light. It gets lie even greater than the phone's default low level.

It's the same on my 920 and 1020. When brightness is set to automatic the screen does dim down to a level below the phones low brightness level when in a dark or dimly lit room.
There isn't anything that can be done about this other than setting the brightness level to one of the manual settings and disabling automatic brightness.

Lumia 925, earpiece audio trouble (voice calls)

Background: I am a T-Mobile USA subscriber. Previously owned a Lumia 710, then switched to 810 when it became available. Great products; I've been very happy with both. Two weeks ago gave the 810 to another family member and got the Lumia 925.
I love the 925. The screen is great, the phone is light, and the camera amazing. Except for one thing. The first day I had the 925, I noticed that the audio from the earpiece did not no sound right. While on calls, the earpiece had a nasty buzz to it, sounding like a damaged speaker. The audio quality while on speakerphone was perfect, so I could not blame T-Mobile's network. I took the phone back to T-Mobile and they replaced it, no questions asked.
The second 925 sounded great. The earpiece audio was clear, without any buzzing or audio glitches. I was a happy man and everything was great, that is, until yesterday. Now the second 925 developed a similar bad audio quality during calls, but only from the earpiece. The speakerphone sounds fine, and using a bluetooth headset sounds fine also. It is not easy to describe the "badness" of the audio but there is a significant decrease in quality. The audio level seems to be down; with the volume all the way up, you can barely hear the other caller. The audio also has a buzzy, muffled quality to it, almost as if it is coming out of a tin can, and it is not easy to understand the caller. I tried calling my old Lumia 810 and the sound on the 810 is just fine. The trouble seems to be only the earpiece on the 925.
This morning I went back to T-Mobile and they replaced the SIM card. I'm not sure how that would help, but they said it should help if this is a network issue. That was 5 hours ago and the audio quality has not improved at all. I have also performed a full phone reset, then reloaded my previous settings, but the problem persists. At this point it appears to be a hardware issue, but it is very odd that it happened on the first 925 right away, and on the replacement one as well, but after two weeks. Beside the bad earpiece audio the phone works great. The apps work as they should, and the camera is lovely, but if I first need the device to function as a phone.
I am debating if I should try a third Lumia 925. I am a bit reluctant, as I'm afraid that it might break again. At least now it is within the 30 day return period, but what if this issue happens later? I would love to stick with Lumia but these issues with the 925 are worrisome.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

I'm having the same problem with my Nokia Lumia 925. Voice in the earpiece audio is otherwise ok but when the other person is saying the S-letter in a word the earpiece audio makes it sound like other person is having a lisp or something. It's really annoying. Same effect comes when other person on the line is inhaling or exhaling. There is this whoosh sound the earpiece is making on S-letters, inhale - exhale sounds and on other low frequency background noices. Phone was like this from my first calls after unboxing. ...
I was thinking how to describe my audio problems with 925 but you did it perfectly! I have exactly the same problems with the S-letters, inhaling, exhaling etc. which makes every voice call more or less annoying experience.
I was thinking to replace the unit but the longer I read this thread, the more I start to think this is "a feature" i.e. bad design and/or poor HW choices. That said, ff this is so common issue, I wonder howcome there wasn't anything about this in those several reviews L925 was subjected to when it was released. Or are the reviewers so busy in testing the 'smart phone' feature that they do not spend time to mundane stuff like voice call quality.
I love the phone otherwise; looks great, has fantastic camera, crisp and cleat display - anyhow, had I known about this, I would have left this to the store.
EDIT:

I was making a Skype call from my Lumia 925 yesterday and with Skype the earpiece audio was clear and there was no whooshing disturbing the call. So i guess the speaker is working properly in Lumia 925 but the problem might be in 3G/4G reception (or somewhere else) that disturbs the call quality creating this whooshing in a call.
Havent' tried myself but if this is true, this starts to sound like some voice codec issue. ...which would be strange since one would think that the same speech encoding/decoding implementations are used in all Lumias so why would there be problems specifically in 925.
The good with this option would be that it's probably possible to fix with SW update. Provided that Nokia is aware of the problem or better yet, interested to anything about it.
