Well, I hope you peeled off the protective covering that covers the lens? And try to focus by touching the screen to spot focus on an object or area of the picture. Try changing the settings to either spot focus or center focus? Save the setting after. Enjoy
There wasn't a protective covering that covers the lens, the phone came in a plastic wrap/bag. Also you can't alter the focus settings between center or spot focusing.
I will point out though that due to the location of the camera on the back, our sweaty palms will come into contact with the camera quite often so it's important to make sure it's clean before taking pictures.

Lumia 920: Nokia Camera flash won't function

hi guys,
just updated to Nokia camera from Nokia pro cam...afterwards my flash from my lumia 920 wont function anymore. anybody experienced the same thing before? need your assistance..
Moderator's note: We have amended the title of this post as this was moved from another thread.

Are you talking about the light that comes before you take a picture ? , thats not flash it's flash assist to let the phone Auto Focus work probably , you can turn it off from settings (Sorry i have no WP8 phone yet so i can't tell you where exactly , but other reviewers touched on this before.

Streaming From Lumia 920 to TV

Hi All. I haven't posted anything here for quite a while which is a reflection of just how delighted I am with my Nokia Lumia 800 and now 920. Thank you Nokia and Microsoft!
My 920 is SUCH a step up from the 800! I'm going to hang on to the 800 as a spare should the 920 need servicing but, as of yet, there's absolutely no sign of any problems with either phone or their accessories - the wireless car charger being my favourite.
This post is to ask about streaming from the Lumia 920 to my television. I often use my 920 to browse the web etc whilst sitting in front of the TV when I can't be bothered to get up and wander around the house looking for my laptop. Is there a device I can plug into my Sony TV so that I can stream data to it from my Lumia 920? I would like to be able to use my TV to get a much larger image of whatever happens to be on my Lumia 920 screen.
I'm not sure where on the forum to post this so apologies in advance if I've got it wrong.
Colin

Unfortunate the 920 does not have a TV out facility. It is however possible to stream media wirelessly from your phone to any tv linked to your home network using an app called PlayTo.

Lumia 920 front camera lens distortion (not dust)

Hi community,
Have a next issue - all pictures/video from front camera are distorted on top (I can see that upper edge of camera is just covered by glass curve - so the effect I'm getting is quite annoying). I've seen couple of videos on youtube made by 920 front camera - everything is OK there. Please see attached couple of images. Is anybody else having this issue?
Solved!

It was physical defect (so have no idea how your reset would help solving it) Got replacement from my carrier. Glass is flat this time - no curves on edges. So no "lens" distortion effect. Please see photos of the front camera and gorilla glass before and after replacement.

Syncing photos from Lumia 920 to Lumia 1020- Quest...

I just received my Lumia 1020-
I started up the Windows Phone desktop application, and wanted to transfer all the photos I had stored on the 920 to my new 1020; so I selected the photos I wanted to sync.
I got a message-
"You are deleting a large number of files-do you wish to continue?"
So, if I said yes, would I then delete the photos from my computer to match the relatively empty Lumia 1020?
Would I then lose all my photos?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

hi mate, you can download the Windows Phone app for desktop for Windows 7 to sync your WP8 device with your PC. it should install the drivers needed and appear in My Computer when you plug your phone into your PC anyway

Lumia 920 battery life suddenly changed

Hi, everyone. I am a newbie here. I had my red 920 since 11/9 and it has been great until this Tuesday. Previously the battery was great and after full charge it usually showed battery life 1day or even longer. This Tuesday I used camera a lot. The handset did get warmer because of flash and focus assist lamp. After that night the battery darin rate became really fast. After one overnight charge 100% battery only shows 9hours and drain rate was like 10% per hour. Any one has suggestions why this occured suddently? Do I need to reset the phone to factory?
Thanks a lot

Hi
I had similar issue I went to Microsoft store,they didn't understand the problem.
they said background tasks, WiFi,location service etc. Everything was offline.
The issue started after December patch update.
The system keeps dropping signal very often and it tries to reconnect to 4G and LTE making battery drain, This is as per the Tech at Microsoft store...
Use wall charger for 3-4 hours. That helps. Also let the battery drain to less than 10% and charge , Turn of all your background tasks that helps...
No word from Nokia yet., Wireless charger doesn't work well.
Also when i tried logging in from Lumia 920 to post this message, the popup login on the sign in doesnt work. Also when you post the scrolling doesnt work really well like on the desktop. Not sure if its the site issue or IE10 issue
The Spell check for Lumia is still not fixed. it suggested Aluminia... can some mod from Nokia put in a request to fix this ?
Regards

Error code 8103010d appear on my lumia 920!!

so happy to get this handset!!! but there are few problems with it!!
can someone help me out plz!!
1st the battery life is so short! i got only 13 hours when i have 100% barttery
2nd is the internet sharing doesnot work!! my iphone 4 can connect the wifi from lumia 920, but it could not use the internet.
3rd, i have a upgrde for the network+, but i got a error code 8103010d when i download it on half way!
i hope the hardware is fine, all of it are bugs!!
the phone is under EE 4G in the UK

Battery life on my 12 day old 920 has stabilised at around two days usage between charges. I have Bluetooth and 3G switched off and only activate them when needed.
Wi-Fi tethering works fine on mine but you may have noticed that Wi-Fi is automatically disconnected when the screen times out and is locked so your iPhone won't be able to share the connection until the screen is woken back up again.

My windows phone 8 nokia lumia 920 doesn't show up in finder

I have a macbook pro laptop and want to download some music files to my windows phone from finder. I don't want to use the official windows phone app, where it shows up, but I do not prefer this app because it allows me only to upload full albums to my phone instead of single songs. By the way, it also shows up in iphoto, but not in finder. How can I solve this?

You should use windows phone app. only this way. as for me, i cant move photos from lumia 920 to iphoto. i think, promblem in USB3.0. but i dont want belive in it

Lumia 920 can take sharp pictures with an app

I have been thinking what to do with my brand new Lumia 920 because I am dissapointed with picture quality. They are simply not sharp, and I am not talking only daylight or night pictures. In my case MOST of the pictures are not sharp. However all Macro pictureas are sharp, and one of a hundred both daylight and low light ARE sharp.
My previous phone is Nokia N8 and wife have Iphone 4s so I know what to expect from a phone.
I have dowloaded app called Camera Easy and that app simply take SHARP pictures.
Here are two comparison, two sharp are of course taken with Camera Easy app, and two not so sharp pictures are taken with default Nokia Lumia 920 software. ( I have bought Camera Pro as well, but pictures have same quality as Nokia Lumia 920 default software, not sharp).
However there is one bug in Camera Easy app, it can save images in own folder somewhere on Lumia 920, but they are not listed on camera roll or albums???
(reason why I am covering my eye is because I took over hundred of pictures and looking in flash light that many times will hurt my eyes.... so some protection )
NOKIA, dowload this app and learn how to do things correctly

Lumia 920 Front facing camera blury, exaggerated s...

Hi,
I'm trying to understand if my frontfacing camera has a defect or it really is supposed to be that bad on a 920. I started noticing the images are always sort of blurry even though i try to hold it extremely still and that the colors are kind of bad.
What really put me over the edge was seeing my wife's iphone's result side by side. hers was crisp, clear, beautiful while mine looked like it was from a first generation digital camera.
Is this expected? has anyone else compared iphone 5 and 920 FF camera results side by side?
thanks

Hi Amakhan,
Traditionally front facing cameras have not had much technical focus as most people use the back facing cameras to take photos. However, with the advent of the Facebook-photogenic generation, there has been a sharp rise in the use of front facing cameras for impromptu poses.
Now, there are differneces in the hardware between the phones you have listed. For one, the Nokia 920 only has a 1.3MP front camera, while the HTC 8X has a 2MP snapper (which HTC claim is even better with their proprietary imaging technology). Obviously, photos are going to look better on the HTC as they have obviously focussed effort on their cameras. The same case could be made for the iPhone, as their adverts always seem to have people making FaceTime calls.
It all depends on your needs, if you find your front facing camera more important than your back facing camera, then by all means the HTC or iPhones are the phones for you. In upcoming firmware updates for the 920, the imaging of the front facing camera may be improved, but complaints about the quality are few and far between.
I sure hope the firmware updates will address this issue. This is my primary request at this time.
I don't think its right to have a dismissive attitude toward wanting a decent front facing camera. Nokia put the camera there, it should take good pictures. Facebook, youtube and myspace have been around for a long time. Many people like to take pictures of themselves. I dont think its wise to write off this segment of the market.
All i'm saying is that the phone has a camera. I'm sure it is able to focus. They just need to use some of the technology they use for the main camera in this one. I dont expect it to be as good, but it needs to be better.
For example, FF cameras are usually used to take pictures of the user -- someone with a face. you can use the algorithm published over a decade ago (http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/viola/Pubs/Detect/violaJones_IJCV.pdf), find the face, and focus on it like even the cheapest point and shoot cameras are doing these days.
The attitude that "this phone is not for that" is exactly why the iphone has done so well. Otherwise, why should we have internet or apps on the phone either -- heck, its for making calls.
It might seem petty, but I was literally in the car with my wife. we were goign to go return her iphone and ger her a lumia. she happened to snap a photo of herself on my camera. it was terrible. we turned around and went home. That's one sale lost. There are lots of poeple that use Facebook and want to take and post photos of themselves. Lets not give up on that market because we dont want to put some software into one of the cameras on the phone known for its camera.

Nokia lumia 920 only showing as a camera on Window...

Beyond that, Nokia are entirely responsible for both the quality of the hardware they make and the software they provide to run it. They may choose to outsource the software creation, but they can't outsource the responsibility.
Not exactly. Nokia does not write or maintain the interface software to the MTP client in Windows Phone. This is part of the core OS and as such is the responsibility of Microsoft. The specifications clearly state the software requirements and for the most part if these are met things work as expected.
The minimum requirement is Windows XP SP3 with Windows Media Player 10. The MTP drivers are included with WMP here and in later versions of Windows are part of the OS. The software on the phone is only a client to this software and will expect the host t o be properly configured and set up to be able to communicate. It is fairly certain that in this case it is the host which is not working properly as I have myself seen multiple minimal spec system doing fine.
The point of the discussion so far was that the instigator assumed we (or I if you must) were basically saying he should update to 7 or 8 which is simply not the case. From the first response it wasmade clear what the min spec is. The phone as is is fine so there is no issue there at all. From a personal point of view I think it would benefit anyone greatly to at least upgrade to Windows 7 at least for too many reasons to mention but obviously anyone is free to stay with XP but they should not expect the rest of the world to do the same or expect indefinate support for a decade old OS. There is no current OS fo which the 10 year old version is currently still supported. The fact XP still runs most software is a testament of it's sturdyness and quality, but it will fall behind very quickly over the next few years.
Windows XP is an end of life OS for which mainstream support ended FOUR years ago and extended support will end in a year. At best it is now in maintenance mode with only critical patches being released but no further development of the OS has been done for a few years now. Windows 7 is the de-facto version of Windows now and it should be he minimal requirement for any current and future software development. XP support should be seen as a bonus.

Premiere Elements 9 no longer supports video files from Nokia Lumia 920 (it used to do)!

I've edited many videos from the same phone (.mp4) with the same software before (last time was 8 months ago). Now the software claims that the "file format is not supported or the required codec is not installed". How can it be? I haven't uninstalled or installed any codecs. The phone is the same. I can still open the old projects on Premiere Elements. I need to get this fixed so I can edit my videos!

nome2014
In the case that you are presenting, are you importing new Nokia video into a new project? You say that you can open old projects in Premiere Elements. Do the old projects contain Nokia video from the same camera? If so, open one of the old projects and try to import the new Nokia video into that old project. Imports or not?
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 9 running on? Are you running the program as the 9.0.1 Update? If not, please do so either
a. from Help Menu/Update in the opened project
or
b. from the 9.0.1 Update downloaded from Adobe online (Premiere Elements closed during download and installation).
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4929
I have just downloaded a sample from your Nokia Lumia 920 (1920 x 1080 @ 30 frames per second* AVCHD.mp4) and had no problems importing it into a new Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 project set with the project preset of NTSC DSLR 1080p DSLR 1080p30.
*Potential issues....
the Nokia video comes with a variable frame rate, in my case, 4.201 to 30.090, showing a value of 29.272. Premiere Elements (any version) is known to have issue with cell phone video recorded with a variable frame rate. The problem can manifest itself as audio out of sync or just not being able to import the video at all. Remedy...take the video into HandBrake and convert the variable to a constant frame rate.
http://handbrake.fr/
Do you need a step by step how to on that? If so, we can supply one.
From what I have read, the Nokia can record with AVCHD video compression as well as MPEG-4. Both have a .mp4 file extension. Is what you used before the same video codec as you are using now? Please check the camera settings.
Please review and consider. You can post a sample of your problem video here as a Dropbox link, and I will road test it in my Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 that is working with a sample download from your brand/model cell phone.
We will be watching for your follow up.
Thanks.

hi mate,
have you checked that you are up to date with the latest firmware thur checking in Settings > Phone Update, and that you are up to date with all the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store? if you are, and you are still encountering problems then it appears you will need to visit your Nokia Care point for inspection of your phone.
