Recharge Lumia properly and Amber's problem.

Hi,
My Lumia 520 have been updated to Amber couple of days ago. I've noticed some problems:
- Battery seems to discharge quicker than before. When battery is fully charged, there's 27hrs left, while it was 30hrs left before Amber update.
- WiFi was not automatically turned off when I locked the screen.
Btw, I wonder how to recharge Lumia properly.
- I've read some articles about how to recharge Li-ion battery. They said that the battery should be maintained 40%-80%, and I should not charge my phone 100% and leaving it unused for hours.
However, on Nokia product support site, they said "always charged your phones fully" to extend battery life (???)
- On WP forums, people advised me to unplug the recharger as soon as the battery is full. Because, unlike Symbian, Windows Phone could not shut the circuit down and prevent electricity from going through the phone, which harms the battery and the hardware (???)
Please show me how to fix these problems and how to recharge tmy Lumia 520 properly.
Thanks a lot.

The update probably reset the battery calibration, just use the phone and it will re-calibrate.
You should just charge when you know you'll have a few hours to charge and the battery is around 20-30%. You can charge to full without a problem and there is no need to disconnect a Nokia charger when the battery has been charged fully. Obviously whatever is applicable for 3rd party chargers is your own risk.

  • Nokia Lumia 625 and wifi-facebook problem

    I have the ordinary problem with nokia lumia 625...everything works except facebook (when using wifi at home)...facebook app wont load,news feed in People tile wont load,internet explorer loads every page except facebook (nokia xpress has no problem)...only thing that works is facebook chat in messages...i have done firmware update of the router (belkin)  and it didnt work i really dont know where the problem can be...any other devices works fine (even lumia 800 had no problems), any other pages or apps work fine on wifi and facebook works on other wifis--belkin support says it is a problem of this model of the phone not in the router

    We just purchased a brand new nokia lumia 625 and are also experiencing problems with Facebook, cannot download newsfeed, also purchased a lumia 630 and have no problem using Facebook on that phone, Facebook also works on all our iPads and pcs, can only be a problem with the phone

  • Whenever I try to log in to my Gmail account, the page redirects for a loooong time, then says that it won't load properly, and that the problem may be caused by not enabling cookies, but I have them enabled. Any idea what the problem might really be?

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

  • Lumia 630 and treasure tag problem

    Hello,
    I justa purchased a tresure tag WS-2 and connected it to my Nokia Lumia 630.
    Bluetooth on my phone is on. I can setup the tag (i.e. name it).
    Software seams not to work properly.
    When i get away from the tag, the tag makes the sound, but my phone doesnt make any sound nor any written notification. Also there is no option to locate the tag in the Here map.
    Any suggestions or similar problems?
    Thanks in advance
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Did whatever you suggested but yet nothing.
    Option show in map does not appear at all.
    All notifications are set "on"
    Do you think my location may be an issue?
    I am in Greece and the phone is set in greek.
    Edit: Demonstration works fine. Both tag and phone make the noise

  • Lumia 620 and other storage problem

    Hi,
    I own a L620 and I'm having a lot of problems with the "Other" storage. Currenty it is occupying 2GB. I have reflash it and hard reset it a lot of times but it always keep growing...
    Is there any fix? What can I do?
    I'm thinking in but another mobile phone because of this...

    Have you tried copying many files to the intrenal storage? this should make the phone release space from other storage and once freed it will remain so. After this you can simply remove the files you copied.
    Otherwise a reset would be the only thing I can think of. This is an OS issue and it's MSFT who will (and should) be fixing this.

  • Map dosen't work properly and when you are type some events in CALENDER suddenly it will disappear (after 10 sec)

    Map dosen't work properly and CALENDER  has problem , after type events to some dates , suddenly disappear , it dosen't save.

    Anyone know how to delete this posting? Lack of response indicates I either asked the question in a stupid way or didn't ask worthwhile question to start with. I'm guessing it was a bit of both.

  • NFC - Disconnecting problem on Lumia 820 and Lumia...

    First, we have 2 Lumia 925 and 3 Lumia 820 all on Amber and latest updates. and having problems with connecting by tapping the phones with NFC tagged headsets which are:
    Nokia Essence BH-610
    Nokia Bh-221
    Nokia Purity Pro Bh-940
    and also JBL Powerup and JBL Playup.................
    Every time when tapping the above headsets or whatever with the Lumia phones mention above I have to retapp the the phone so they reconnect and bluettoth start to be activated.
    This has been going on for a while now and it is frustrating to use NFC which is far better implemented on my 808 Pureview which never fails this easy task..to connect and stay connected...without the hazzle...mentioned..
    There are also other audio and sound problems which have stopped our progress for going further with Lumia phones here and actually reconsider ...
    The gasply Tunein reconnecting and restarting playing after pausing and not hearing incoming sms and phone when connected to a bluetooth enabled NFC headset (if not the headset is on the head (purity pro) or in the ear (BH-610) at the time the incoming sms or email arrives of course)
    There are more examples and I can clearly see in this forum that Microsoft and Nokia dont have it all figured out considering there are a lot threads about sound, volume and that kind of problem related things.
    And this thing about not being able to have different audio levels for music, calls or whatever...come on...gosh.
    Solution?

    Same problem on Lumia 620, connecting by tapping to NFC-enabled headset like Nokia Essence BH-610.....disconnects almost directly and then tap again, connecting and firmly connected after that.
    Well, also worth mention not to be ok is that when disconnecting the headset by tapping the phone is that bluetooth doesnt switch of automatically. "On real" smart phones like Nokia 701, 700 and 808 Pureview bluetooth then disconnect.
    Time consuming all this.....not to mention all the hazzle when on the run...
    An example the other day after listening to Tunein radio, coming to a meeting and pushing pause and disconnectyed the3 headset.....a minute after that the Yunein-radio starting to play loud and clear through the phones loudspeaker....emabarrasing to say the least.
    Not reliable at all....lives on it´s own terms, not mine....

  • I am using my Ipad on a remote craftshow site and am having problems with battery lasting 8 hrs. Can I use a 12v rv battery to recharge it or atleast maintain the charg over longer periods of time? I have a dc adapter. thanks

    You should be able to use the battery if you get a car type charger which recharges mobile devices.
    The full size iPads use a 10-12W charger, whereas the mini uses a 5W charger. Many car chargers only supply 5W. But at 5W, the car charger should give you some extra time on your iPad. It would be best to use a 10-12W car charger.

  • I purchased a MyBook Studio 4gb external hard drive.  I can't get it to work properly.  WD have assessed it and say its fine and that the problem is with Apple?

    I purchased a MyBook Studio 4gb external hard drive.  I can't get it to work properly.  WD have assessed it and say its fine and that the problem is with Apple?  Any ideas?

    Hello EucaBlue!
    So in Disk Utility, with the external harddrive selected, go to the Partition tab, and then under "Partition Layout:" select 1 Partition.
    After than, verify that it is formatting the drive as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) under "Partition Information"
    Also verify that it's using using the GUID Partition Map under the Options button at the lower left of this window.
    Then click apply and confirm that you want to format the drive. It will ask you if you're sure, and probably for an Administrator password.
    Once your harddrive is formatted properly, you should be able to use Time Machine, or any other Mac backup software.
    Happy tinkering!

  • Data Roaming Problems with Lumia 610 and 710 phone...

    Data Roaming problem with Lumia Wndows 7.5 phones.  We have a Lumia 710 and also 610 phones on Virgin pay monthly sim cards.  We cannot get data raoming to work on either phone.  We have tried in a number of locations in France and Switzerland. Virgin confirm roaming and data roaming are set up on our account.  
    - I have purchased Data Passes.  
    - Settings>Mobile Network active network shows current operator
    - Data Connection is on,
    - Data roaming option shows "roam",
     - highest connection speed is 3G,
     - network selection is automatic.
     - Flight mode is off.  
     - Account settings are ok because everything works on Wifi.
     - Connection has been full bars showing 3G.  
     - I have tried hard resets of phone, manual network selection, deleted browsing history,
     - phone software reports that it is up to date,
     - I have run Network Setup which confirms phone has been updated network settings for relevant operator.
     - Telephone calls to Virgin from Switzerland could not resolve the problem.  
     - Discussions with Virgin since returning home have not been able to solve the problem.  It seems to be an issue with Lumia phones. 
    Can anyone help please? Nokia - why doesn't this work on your phones?

    I'm like what an OS this phone has. All I can say is that if you own MS stock dump it fast as the OS on this phone is so bad its not even funny.
    I think what they are trying to do here is a last ditch attempt to capture the online services market but it isn't going to work, because they have made this OS to weird.
    I'm a pretty seasoned user and I generally am able to get gadgets to work but dudes this puppy is something else. I have 14 days to exchange it so Im going to give it my best shot for another couple of days and see where it goes.
    The phone itself is pretty decent otherwise I would have returned on the 2nd day. Its pretty fast and the screen is nice and bright and if not some major concerns I wouldn't be a complaining.
    1st} There is no way to import your bookmarks into the phone without using a online service.
    2nd} I haven't been able to successfully export my old contact list from my LG P500 Android.
    The 710 seems to only use contacts that are stored on online services even though I have imported my contacts using the Contact transfer function on the phone.
    3rd)The phone won't shut off while charging even if you shut the phone down , plug it in and it turns on no matter what you do.
    The Zune software is all glitter and no meat too unfortunately.
    I really wanted an alternative and the phone is such good value and a local new Provider has a 27 $ a month unlimited everything, but luckily they have a 14 day phone exchange policy.
    I'm going to keep for a few more days and see if I can get it to work the way i want it to.

  • Nokia Lumia and gMail account problems

    Hi all 
    I have a Lumia 800 and I come from an iPhone.
    I've noticed, after a week of use, that the gMail sync is not "a real push".
    I've done a lot of test, and the results are not good.
    With the iPhone the mail is noticed immediately, with the Lumia 800 could pass a lot of time.. sometimes 15 minutes!!!
    I've also tried to set the account as an Exchange type, the results are the same!!
    The sync settings are correct: "as item arrives".
    Any suggestion?
    For Nokia and Microsoft: please try hard to solve this issue!!
    I'm really disappointed, besyde the battery problem now the gMail sync problem!
