Things i need fixed on my Lumia 920

I have a list of things that i really LOVED on my Nokia 5800 that i would like either Nokia or MSFT to fix or send an update for on my new Lumia920:
1- When you turn the volume down for either music or a video, the volume for the phone ringtone goes down as well. The volume for the ringtone must not be linked or should be controlled within the ringtone sub-setting option.
2- The WiFi must only connect when i launch the app that needs it. OR if the app has a "live tile" feature, it should ask me if i want the WiFi to stay connected for that app.
3- BRING THE T9 KEYBOARD BACK. i loved the option for the alpha newmeric keyboard on my 5800. Please bring it on this device.
4- In order to save battery, i usually turned my Nokia 5800 off at night. but since i had an alarm set up to wake me up in the morning, the device would automatically turn on or wake up to set off the alarm. Since the battery on my Lumia920 is really bad, i turned it off at night but the alarm didnt go off in the morning so i missed work!!!
5- Your YouTube app, isnt really an app at all. it takes me to m.youtube.com which i can do just on the IE browser!! there was a dedicated YouTube app on my Nokia 5800. Why did you leave it out on this "flagship" Nokia920?
6- The media library dosent turn when holding the device on ladscape!! I cut a piece in my dash to install this device while driving, the holder is landscape and i look like a retard going through my media library looking at it it sideways!! its embarasing!
i have a few other pointers which i will post later. I would really like someone to actually read this and get back to me. Also i would like other users to post their response if they have a fix or if they have similar tiny problems with their Nokia920 which turn out to be a HUGE inconvenience!
Thanks!

I always plug any smartphone in to charge over night. None of the Android, iOS or WP devices I've had have lasted a full days use when starting with a less than half full battery. If you relied on your 920 to wake you when it was low on battery when you went to bed, then that is - no offence - just silly.
I have a fat-boy charging pillow by my bed which I use every night before I sleep.
Secondly, do you honestly expect us to believe that you cut into your dashboard in order to look at your media collection in landscape mode BEFORE you tried to look at your media collection in landscape mode? Please. Yes, I wouldn't mind a landscape mode when swiping through albums, but it's not that big of a bother for me.
Agree on the volume issue.
I'll pass on T9.
Right now, the Wifi disconnects itself when the screen goes off. When the screen comes on, you can specify whether you want the wifi to be used every 15 minutes, 30 mins etc, or - like I do - instant notifications. How would you expect an app to know when to tell the system when to connect with wifi, if the system can't connect to tell you that the app needs to give you a notification/update etc ?!
YouTube? Meh, happy enough that I can watch the vids, used to use Metro tube which was better, but please understand that it is not Nokia or MS who makes the official YouTube app, it's Google.

Camera performance Lumia 920 vs N8

Hi all,
I just can't let it go. I am not happy with picture quality of my new Lumia 920. See crop of same thing taken with N8 and with Lumia 920.
I really hope Nokia do something about camera in Lumia 920, picture quality is not OK.

Hi, I'm late to this thread but have just tweeted @NokiaHelps exactly same problem- though I was going mad! It's just not up to the N8-00 tho' granted that was a stunner. Am hoping to get it repaired/ replaced- distance shots don't seem to focus as well as I'd thought, plus there seems to be more blurring the closer you get to the edge of the lens. Anyone got their 920 replaced? Just looking at a shot taken in St Mary's Street, Cardiff just before kick off last saturday! My opinion: some static features should just be sharper. I can't expect a flag to stay motionless, but iron lettering fixed to the side of a solid stone building should be razor sharp. I try desperately to hold the 920 as still as possible, but the moment of taking seems to introduce blur. My photos certainly never look like the demo ones on Nokia's site...

Lumia 920 NFC needed a reboot?

Hello,
I was trying to use tap to share to send pictures, contacts, etc. My wife & I both have an AT&T Lumia 920. We had the phones for a few days before I got around to trying this. No matter how I held the phones, I couldn't get it to work. I removed the covers we had purchased for our phones. It still wouldn't work. I turned NFC off & back on. Still the receiving phone did nothing when I attempted to share from the source phone (and this is the behavior I'm describing when I said "it didn't work" above).
Finally I powered off both phones & then powered them on, and then it worked perfectly. That was a relief to know that the phones' NFC chips do indeed work.
However, I would like to know why this even happened. I don't know whether it was a software glitch or indicative of faulty hardware. I have not yet tried to use NFC again for probably 5 days since then, so I cannot confirm whether it's been working okay since. However, it seems to me that it is rather important for NFC to work well given the tap to pay & tap to share & tap to pair functionality that is being marketed for these phones (not to mention the Galaxy S3 NFC advertizing that is really capitalizing on NFC [which most people I talk to really seem impressed with]). The phones' NFC implementation needs to be solid & not buggy.
So a few questions:
Is anyone else having this problem?
Should I start using NFC frequently to try to track whether the issue returns (this may drain my battery faster as I have NFC turned off to save battery since I'm not currently really using it, except incidentally).
Is this a hardware problem or a software problem?
Should I swap my phone out at AT&T? (I've only had it for 8 days so far)
Can Nokia confirm issues/bugs with the NFC implementation that would cause something like this, and if so, is a fix in the works, and if so, is there an ETA?
Thank you for taking the time to review my issue. I appreciate your feedback.
Sincerely,
Doug Mortensen

Hi there,
I just recieved my Lumia 920 in the mail today and I was having trouble getting the NFC to work with the little test card they send with the phone. After a few trial and errors, I realized that the screen has to be illuminated. You don't have to unlock the screen, per se, you just have to touch the lock button to activate the screen and then NFC works immediately.
Now, you may have already known this, but being that I couldn't find any literature perscribing this, I thought sharing my findinds may be helpful to you or another reader.
Cheers!

Nokia Lumia 920 issues after latest update. Fix in...

Since the last update we are having massive problems on our Lumia 920 from ATT. Bad reception, losing Internet connection, etc.
We have over 30 920 deployed in our company. We did tests with and without the new patch and its like day and night.
Sitting in my office, i have 1-2 bars on the phone with updates, showing 4g, but cannot access any website.Plus constantly losing connection.
On the phone without update I have 2-3 bars, showing LTE and constant internet access.
It is horrible. We first thought it was related to the Access Point Software, but it is definitively the firmware.
Please fix asap. Not good advertising for those awesome phones.

This issue has already been covered on several threads on this forum. The update was found to cause issues on AT&T and was pulled part way through it's roll out. A fresh update is being prepared that fixes the issues. For more information contact AT&T or Nokia US.

Nokia Lumia 920 issues... that nokia CANNOT fix

I have got quite a few issues with this useless phone:
MMS messages: i cannot recieve them. i can with my iphone, its a nokia issue, they are unable to let me know what is wrong.
random rebooting: this shoudnt happen but it does, very annoying.
unable to connect to WPA2 Enterprise networks :a biggie for me, will install a certificate, but cannot use it, nokia CANNOT fix this issue
battery life is nothing like advertised, i was advised by nokia to disable data, disable wifi, disable EVERYTHING turning my premium phone into a dumbphone
the phone creaks, you can hear it on calls and video's captured
Nokia support is useless, they tell me they will call me back, but never do.
the camera is useless in normal light conditions heaps of overexpsed area's
anyone have any fixes for these issues?

As has been reported by many people here as a result of an equal amount of people bringing it up Battery life on the Lumia 920 will require a number of charging cycles to optimize, This has nothing to do with the phone but is inherent of the type of batteries used in modern day phones and not specific to Lumia 920.
Battery use may vary depending on a number of issues. If you are seeing mailsync, sending and/or receiving SMS and others be troublesome and require many retries it could be you are in a region where the signal is not very good. I am _not_ saying it's not the phone, just that it does not have to be, and frankly often isn't.
Nokia Drive+ is not available as a beta for nothing. If you can't deal with or won't be willing with using beta software then don't. The latest update has reportedly improved performance significantly.
How does MMS not working have anything to do with Battery, get the correct settings from your carrier. There's plenty of information available here on how to get this sorted.
What are your expectations of battery life? In general I would say for a phone like the Lumia 920 a normal working day should be quite acceptable and many users initially reporting shorter life have cone back in confirming that battery life has seriously improved over the initial few days/weeks of use.
And in conclusion, if you feel your device is faulty talk to Nokia using the contact details here. In such a case there is nothing anyone here can say or do to help you really.

Unlocked Nokia Lumia 920, there are sone things I'...

I'm 14 years old & I do independent schooling, so twice a week I work with my mom. I plan on buying a nokia lumia 920, but since tmobile doesn't have it, I understand I should purchase an unlocked one. My only concern is whether it'll work with T-Mobile's data plan, calling/messaging, and the internet. I dont know if this is a silly question, but I never learned about this kind of stuff in school, can anyone please help me out? Thanks!

AT&T Lumia 920 - 2 Freezes in a few days maybe rel...

Hello,
I've been using my AT&T Lumia 920 for 8 days. Within the first week I have had 2 freezes. Both were while using Bluetooth, but that may be coincidental.
I am not happy about these glitches as I was previously using an AT&T Lumia 900 since April, and it never had problems like this. I expect the 920 to be an upgrade in every regard.
I am seeking:
An explanation as to the cause of these issues.
A permanent solution that will prevent these issues from recurring
The specifics of the 2 incidences are:
First incident:
I was driving & talking on my phone with my Plantronics Voyager Bluetooth headset. I parked at BestBuy & went inside continuing my phone call. In less than 60 seconds, I realized that it seemed like the person on the other end of the phone was being too quite. So I thought maybe the call dropped. I pulled the phone out of my belt holster & found that it showed that the call was still connected. But I could hear nothing. The screen was essentially non-responsive. Within about 1 minute, my screen went black & I couldn't get the phone to do anything. I kept trying to to a soft reset like I did with my Lumia 900 a few times (power button + volume up). This didn't work (I have later learned that the Lumia 920 uses a different button combinatino (power button + volume down). I gave up using my phone & asked the Geek Squad boys if I could use their phone to call my customer back to finish the discussion so that I could confirm I was purchasing the correct product for him. About 30-60 minutes later, I was still periodically trying to figure out how to get my phone to come back to life. I pressed & held two buttons (presumably power + volume down). The phone vibrated & rebooted. Thank goodness.
Second incident:
I was traveling & dictating an email (which I'm glad that Windows Phone 8 now lets us dictate outside of TXT messages. :-). My first attempt returned no results. I then pressed the microphone button again & retry dictating. At this point, it did something unexpected (I really don't recall the exact specifics). From that point, further attempts to dictate did absolutely nothing. I then decided that I'd just type the email instead. I picked up the phone & pressed in the body of the email. The onscreen keyboard appeared. But none of the keys actually typed or did anything. At this point (of course a bit irritated), I tried to get out of the email, and realized that the phone would not really let me do anything. It displayed the empty email and gave me a flashing cursor, but no buttons or keys would do anything. It was like they were all being ignored by the phone. Then I had this though.... After my previous lock-up, I had read a little bit online that some Lumia 920 users had experienced lock ups when using bluetooth. So I thought, maybe if I power off my bluetooth headset, the phone will break the bluetooth connection & maybe will release control of the phone back to me. So I powered off my bluetooth headset. Sure enough, the phone immediately returned to normal (although it did first quickly make a couple of sounds & display regarding the dictation [like basically the last time I pressed the microphone button, dictation wasn't able to come up, so now it finally did come up & then went away again all within about 1 second]). After powering off the bluetooth headset, my phone has been fine. No need to reboot. A few days have passed with no more issues.
So in summary:
Is there a problem with the phone's bluetooth support?
Is there a problem with my headset (I don't think so, it works on other phones just fine, and it works on this phone 98% of the time without problems)?
Who is going to fix the bluetooth problems & when (Nokia or Microsoft)?
Can they be fixed, or are they problems inherent with the phone's bluetooth chip which are irreparable?
Is there any sense in me going back to the AT&T store & swapping for another Lumia 920? (I don't think so. Seems like most everything else with the phone works well [I've had a few other isolated incidents with other things, but so far I've written them off as software glitches that Microsoft or Nokia will fix with time]).
Who should I be reporting this issue to (AT&T? Nokia? Microsoft?)? What is the correct support channel to get the issue resolved most quickly? (I am very willing to work with a competent tech support person to troubleshoot & track the issue over time if necessary in order to help facilitate identifying the root cause of the issue so that a proper permanent fix can be implemented by Nokia or Microsoft.
Have any other users experienced this same problem?
Thanks for your time in reviewing my issue. I have been very excited & enthusiastic about the Lumia 920 & Windows Phone 8. I have tried to promote it with my friends and family. However, when I hit an issue like this which didn't exist on my Lumia 900, I find myself feeling a bit embarassed & frustrated.
By the way, to my knowledge I didn't have any other programs running on my phone during either of these incidents (definitely nothing else running in the foreground).
Sincerely,
Doug Mortensen

Don't expect support here. Nokia does not bother to pay a tech or two to support the people who have bought the 920. Not really a point to these forums.
Anyways, i have huge bt issues as well. Cannot connect or see my jawbone. In truck with pioneer nav system (it is illegal here to use a phone without handsfree in vehicle) it links, but when i make a call or receive a call it shows the phone off the receiver icon so it knows call in progress, but i either get no sound from the caller... at all, or i get a robotic mess i cannot decipher. when i cannot hear anything, people can hear me, but when i hear robotic, people can hear me but with distortion. However, when it reads a text message, the phone voice is fine through the system. Because i have to turn bt off then to use phone, i have to return this handset and just go back to android.
Have also had this drop calls a few times now as reception is probably the worst i have seen in a decade... even drops in downtown core. Battery life poor because i assume its always struggling for a signal.

Radio on Lumia 920 ??

I bought Lumia 920,my previous Nokia were E72(which has all applications which I need !) and there is NO radio !!? What you could do about this ? I'm listening the radio at least twice a day for about two hours..... I spoke with some other guys and they are very disapointed ,too !! Some help ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I just recently purchased Lumia 920 and am really disappointed with the phone. There were virtually no app on the phone usable. I had to connect to internet to download and make it usable.
Even after the update the camera was close to a 3 MP version. My HTC glacier (my touch4g) took better pictures.
on top it no fm radio.. can't we expect that Nokia would keep up the things that made them poplular in the first place.
Looks like they are trying to sell things like apple - one has to purchase useful apps eg even angry bird is a 0.99$, also people are suggesting bluetooth or streaming as solution for fm radio as if paying 600$ is not enough. They want user to buy apps and accessories. I believe this is just going to kill Nokia
What are we really supposed to expect. If Nokia does not fix the problems. they can say goodbye to the number 1 spot. Sadly with the current problems I cannot recommend nokia ever to anybody
Sorry to use this post to vent.. but bottom line is we should not be expected to pay more in daily use after having paid so much for a handset.

Lumia 920 India .. missing features and some sugge...

Alrito ppl..i have migrated from nokia 701 (Symbian) to Nokia lumia 920 (Windows 8)
Country : India
FW : 1232.5951.1249.1001
OS Version : 8.0.10211.204
No sim inserted as yet and right now using it in wifi mode only
Since i was a symbian user..some features are very very essential in my daily phone usage (though some are rare)
So the required features/suggested
Camera/Photos :
1.Red eye reduction
2.Self-Timer
3.Details of photos like size,location,resolution, etc etc
4.Number of photos like how many photos are there in an album or phone..
5.wat is the use of having albums tab when u cant create one??!!
Media:
1.Heard that Stereo FM is gonna come soon with the next update of accessing fm radio and can also radio transmittor ?
Hope its coming soon...
2.Cant the equaliser me edited? and also be accessed from the music player ??
3.MKV Format files doesnt play !! (Yes, i have tried it)
Others :
1.Internet explorer has a problem.. i use my ie whn wifi is on and later after swtiching off wifi
if i wanna close down ie..i cant because it jst keeps going back to the previous webpage which cannot load due to no access to net !!! plspls fix this .!!
2.Nokia MAPS as compared to my symbian nokia 701 ... the gps access is really really bad.. i had to use my old mobile for using the nokia drive option..
3.I know windows 8 doesnt have ny "file system" but i do hope they bring something like file manager for better access to many other things...
4.many other extentions like .zip, .rar dont work because of lack of apps and no basic functionality to access them..pretty bad for a person using the phone for office purpose..
5.Profiles should be evidently visible and i should be able to create seperate profile because just ring+viobrate, vibrate and flight mode is not enough..
6.In the groups under contacts...i really want to add people by selecting them and not individually...i know a very small request but it really helps...
7.In the groups under contacts...i want to see the number of people in the group..i dont want to count them manually.. a small feature again but i request u to add it too..helps a lot..
8.The counter for message,calls, etc and call logs for more than 30 days will be appreciated if it comes with the update because thn installing app for it is something i wudnt like..but this is a suggestions which i hope is implemented for better user experience...
will add some other requirements and suggestions as soon as i get better experience of my new phone

Camera/Photos:
1. You can use Nokia Creative Studio on the phone to fix red eye.
3. Install "Picture Info" from the store, it's free.
5. You need to ask Microsoft that question but it does show albums you've created in skydrive or facebook
Media:
1. Only a rumour, Microsoft at this moment does not support FM and the next update does not enable it. Even if the L920 did have the required hardware it would only work as a receiver, not a transmitter.
3. I don't believe Microsoft has added support for that.
Others:
1. Microsoft control IE featurs, if you press the menu dots then close all tabs you can easily exit.
2. Weird, GPS works well where I am, make sure you use it with a data connection.
3,4,5,6,7 & 8. You need to suggest that to Microsoft as it is their operating system, not Nokia's.
You can submit suggestions to Microsoft on the link below:

You can discuss things about the OS on Microsoft's forum:

Lumia 920 suddenly switching apps

2 weeks ago I had my 3 month old lumia 920 replaced because it locked on the widows boot manager screen. As soon as I got the new phone it was already having problems. It will suddenly vibrate and jump from screen to screen. Almost as if the back button was being pressed repeatedly. It happens more freqently when using an internet based app like marketplace or GPS, but happens other times as well. Any ideas on how to fix this or do I just need to take it back? Again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You may try a few things before taking the phone back..
First check if the phone has the latest System applications..especially the display+touch . You can find the QR Codes HERE
Once you update the application go to settings-->display+touch-->touch and select Normal ...
If problem remians try a Soft Reset : Press Power + Volume(down) keys until the phone vibrates (about 8-10 seconds). The phone will reboot. Then check again.
If no change then sorry ...

I love nokia. In our company they were talking about using Windows phone it could be NOKIA as integration is easier with Desktop.
by giving users a difffernt BETTER experience like SYMBIAN Nokia can make a good comeback.
Please prrovide answers iff already available...
called customer service got transferred to Manila>Philliphines they didnt know the answers...
Any questions please mail [email protected] die hard Nokia supporter.
Regards
K.R
KR

a) Profile- Normal/silent/Meeting/Custom were missing. is there a plan to enable it ?
AGREE WITH YOU HERE. THERE IS JUST RING AND VIBRATE/RING/VIBRATE/SILENT   CURRENTLY ALL THE OPTIONS WE HAD WITH SYMBIAN ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON THE WINDOWSPHONE 8, WHICH IS NOT NECESSARILY A NOKIA CHALLENGE, BUT A WP8 CHALLENGE
i understand that, this is where nokia could provide a app like nokia Situations and a Nokia profile which would make it stand out in the crowd
b) Playlist functionality... the N8 was just updated with a beautiful music app can u please have something like that for nokia music app.
NOT SURE ABOUT THE LATEST NOKIA MUSIC APPLICATION ON SYMBIAN FOR THE N8, BUT THE NOKIA MUSIC ON THE LUMIA IS GREAT. AND IF YOU ARE IN THE USA, IT IS FREE.
I am waiting for the Customer service call back i have scheduled a call will check what they say. i dont want to reset phone. it messes up . doesnt work like new then. i have had issues in past
c) Music player doesn;t support equaliser my e71,5800,n8 can do i why cant lumia do it ?
THERE IS AN EQUALIZER ON THE 920, BUT IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE ACTIVATED, YOU HAVE TO USE A WIRED HEADSET CURRENTLY. EVEN ON BLUETOOTH, IT IS NOT ACTIVATED. I HOPE THAT THERE IS A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO FIX THIS AS WELL.
Lets see what does Nokia do with it... if they fix it like they fixed the signal problem last April
d) please provide nokia internet radio for Lumia ... no good internet radio app available...
e) what about the screen saver with clock date info.. that should be a easy fix for Nokia can u please lets have it
CURRENTLY A LIMITION, ONCE AGAIN OF THE WP8 OS. I TOO, HOPE THAT NOKIA CAN MAKE THAT A "UNIQUE" OPTION TO FURTHER DIFFERENTIATE ITSELF FROM ITS "COMPETITORS" ALSO SELLING WP8 DEVICES. I HAVE TO SAY, THIS I REALLY, REALLY MISS FROM MY N9.
f) Bluetooth on phone is not detected by my portable music player it can detect N8 though why ? is it a bug?
BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE BT TURNED ON. OTHER THAN THAT, IT WOULD PROBABLY DEPEND ON THE MUSIC PLAYER. WHICH I AM GUESSING THAT IS SOME TYPE OF SPEAKER BOX?
if it works with N8 that would mean the music players supports bluetooth. not sure What 920 is missing i read with WP8 there were file transfer issues.The music player is a portable bose music stand...
g) can u please add the photo and video editors to Lumia store under Nokia App.
h) Can u please introduce Nokia bubbles...
O o O o oo OO...
i) Also the Nokia Sleeping screen...
NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN BY THE NOKIA SLEEPING SCREEN, BUT IF YOU MEAN THE LOW POWER SCREEN, AGREED, BUT NOT THERE.
No Sleeping screen is where you have beautiful screen image simulation check link below

j) How to enable nokia offfline maps ?
FIRST YOU WILL WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU INSTALL THE MAPS FOR THE AREAS THAT YOU ARE GOING TO WANT TO VISIT.
I installed the maps i still get message u are not online , went online the system understood i had map then it says it can work offline.. didnt have this issue with N8. the GPS in Lumia and map app seem faster though..
OPEN NOKIA DRIVE/MENU/CONNECTION/TURN TO OFF FOR OFFLINE USAGE
k) I am in US not able to get free unlimited songs are promoted on website.
I AM IN THE USA AS WELL.   SEEMS TO WORK SWELL HERE. OPEN THE NOKIA MUSIC AND SEARCH, JUST LIKE PANDORA. MAYBE CHECK YOUR LANGUAGE SETTINGS TO BE SURE THAT ALL OF THEM ARE SET TO UNITED STATES. I HAD THIS ISSUE IN THE BEGINING. THEN REBOOT.
I checked i dont see option in nokia music app. see N8 it has tabbed playlist/artist view. that looked cool to me
l) Also add a good video tutorial in the phone like u had for 5800 XM or at least good help like in N8...
...I THINK THAT FOR THE WORK THAT GOES INTO IT...AND MOST PEOPLE JUST DELETE IT OR NEVER VIEW IT....NOT NECESSARY. KIND OF LIKE INCLUDING A MANUAL THESE DAYS.
Yes but thats what made Nokia stand out from Appy and Sammy lets not loose the good work already put it.
m) can we have the drag down menu from all screens like new N8 fix which provides control for bluetooth,WIFI, mobile data, silent mode...and also NFC...
NO DRAG DOWN, BUT I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION.   THERE IS A CONNECTIONSAPPLICATION IN THE STORE THAT WORKS WELL THAT YOU CAN PIN INDIVIDUAL NEEDS TO YOUR SCREEN.
The nokia shortcut were much better i could just click to switch on switch off. the more i think about it the more i like N8 and think why did i go for something else...
NFC is cool the data transfer of foto happened in seconds... please market this .
YES!!! BUT I THINK THE INDUSTRY IS NOT GOING TO ADOPT THE NOKIA "NFC" TAG AND INSTEAD ARE GOING TO USE THE TAP TO SEND TYPE OF VERGIAGE AS THE SAMSUNG DEVICES USE THE SAME LANGUAGE THERE.
Industry is crazy they didnt heed even to SIM sugggestions by Nokia but if u have money u have power.. Knowledge and exp dont count these days. Nokia productts are safer robust i always stand by them Hope it becomes leader again and we get Phones like N8 symbian again with looooottttts of good functioanlity.
n) SWYPE is missing.. can u add that.
AND THE CONGREGATION SAID IN SYNC....AAAAAAAAWWWWMMMMMEEEEEEEEEN!
THERE IS A SWYPE APPLICATION IN THE STORE BUT THE IMPLEMENTATION IS REALLY QUITE POOR. I REALLY MISS THIS FROM MY ANDROID, SYMBIAN AND MEEGO DEVICES. I HOPE THERE WILL BE ENOUGH PRESSURE THAT MICROSOFT INCORPORATES IT.
AS FOR THE APPLE USERS, MOST DONT EVEN KNOW IT IS AVAILABLE TO USE, AND UNTIL APPLE INVENTS IT, THERE IS NO OTHER COMPETITOR TO FORCE IT. I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO SEND A MESSAGE TO WP8 TEAM FROM MICROSOFT.
o) also on my 5800 and N8 there were a few songs and Videos that came with phone why noting in Lumia...
p) Does it support USB on the go ?
NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN BY USB ON THE GO, BUT YOU CAN CONNECT TO A PC ON WP8 AND STILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE OPEN PARTITIION ON THE DEIVCE THAT YOU CAN TRANSFER SONGS, VIDEOS, PICTURES, AND RINGTONES TO.
check the link below
http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/30/nokia-n8s-usb-on-the-go-support-demoed-lesser-phones-turned-in/
q) why no SD card external slot..
...CLOUD! VERY FEW DEVICES COMING OUT NOW ARE INCLUDING THIS OPTION AND IT IS MISSED. BUT THE CLOUD IS YOUR FRIEND, ESPECIALLY AS THE SPEEDS GET FASTER AND FASTER TO CONNECT TO IT.
but thats where i need a bigger data plan and pay more dollars later, SD card is better i think Sammy and HTC have it
called customer service got transferred to Manila>Philliphines they didnt know the answers...
THAT IS SEEMINGLY ALWAYS THE CASE. YOU GET BETTER AND FASTER CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM THE CUSTOMERS....HERE ON THE BOARD.
HOPE ALL THIS HELPED YOU.
BTW...YOUR MESSAGE WILL MOST LIKELY BE MODERATED FOR INCLUDING YOUR EMAIL.

Questions before I buy Lumia 920

Hey everyone, I'm new here, I will introduce myself later because I am in a hurry and I need answers first
So please if you can answer my questions that will be great.
I want to buy the Lumia 920 tomorrow if possible, but I want to ask about stuff I've read about it that worries me.
First I've read that it has batterie problems and the batterie gets empty fast.
Second I've read that the phone gets too hot.
Can these things be fixed? Can they hurt the battery somehow? Because I've read that the battery can't be changed, and it's a very expensive phone here in Egypt so I don't want to have to throw it away if anything happens to the battery.
I want to ask about the music, can I download different music players/apps and use them instead of the original one of the phone? Because I want a music player that has last.fm live scrobbling. Also I want to ask if the music sounds good and pure in the phone and how loud can it get?
Now I want to ask about the cinemagraph thing, which I just discovered now, it's amazing.
Can I like make a cinemagraph from a video not taken by the camera? Say from a movie, then upload it on the Internet or on the computer as a gif picture?
About the Internet, is there 3G in it, like can I use sometimes WiFi and sometimes 3G instead? Coz there's not always WiFi everywhere and most of them are with passwords anyway.
Does it have Xbox Live Smart Glass? And does it only work with Xbox 360 or will it also work with Xbox One when it comes out?
And finally what colors are there for the Lumia 920? And does it come with earphones with it?
Please answer ASAP if possible.
Thank you

I may not have all the answers, coz even my experience with Lumia 920 was cut short due to, as you pointed out, heating problems.
Yes, there are battery problems, but it's all a matter of pure bad luck. You could get a perfectly fine device, with no issues, or the ones that are ailed by battery and other issues. Also, there are number of ways to improve your battery life, if the issue stems from improper usage.
Yes, there are some (read few) devices that do get got. Mine did. Never got it fixed and the repair team has decided to replace the device.
Yes, like any other audio-playing-capable phone, this one ,too, supports 3rd party music players. Quality of the music is fine for an average user. If you have a very discerning ear, you may find something to nitpick. Otherwise, for an average guy, it's fine, and loud enough.
I doubt if you can edit videos, not taken from your phone's camera, by using the cinemagraph app. But I'm just guessing here.
Yes, there are 3G, Wi-fi and LTE for data access
Apparently, it does support the Xbox Smartglass feature. Don't know if it will be supported by the upcoming Xbox One
The phone comes in Red, Cyan (extremely rare), black (the one I own), Yellow, White. I think that's it for the colour variety.
Bottomline, Lumia 920 is a simple, elegant, and in some cases, revolutionary device with a mesmerising screen, and this is regardless of my awful experience. It's just that I had the misfortune of getting a faulty device, followed by less than professional handling by the Nokia Care people. I just hope you don't end up with a faulty one and, if you do, I hope the service is up to the mark in your area.

Lumia 920 - most backwardish experience ever

I shall vent my anger at Nokia.
Recently broke my trusted E6 and having no time for contemplation went for top of line Lumia 920.
Trying to use the THING have been the most confusing experience i have ever had with any device/system in my life.
xxx experience started instantly: No support for Ovi Suite, you can not sync your contacts unless you sign in to online account when phone is initalised. Ok, i got over it, mowing on.
Trying to make first call - this device is not a phone! There is no T9 style dial !!! No speed dial !!!
Ok, found Rap dialler, but it is not native and WP8 asks for additional confirmation before allowing the call, which is displayed in upper left corner - most inconvenient for single handed use. And it does not show missed calls - so i have to keep separete apps on screen for making calls and looking and missed one.
Tried to configure home screen .. there is no switching of them, you have to slide, which is way more inconvenient too fast/slow and icons end not where intended.
UI is written for/by aliens. I still have not figured out the confusing behaviour of back button - when it closes application and when goes back.
Mowing on - No onscreen toggles for turning wireless, BT and sound on/off.
Constantly missing calls because ringtone is turned off and it is not visible when on screen. Yes, there is TOGGLE (another app you download) which is far cry of what Symbian Belle had.
The last one made my blood boil: you need the app to send contact details to someone!!!
I pulled broken E6 from drawer and brought to service center. I can't wait to have it fixed and back in business.
You shall be warned - if you like E6 think twice before downgrading to new phone

Unfortunately I cannot help you with the fact that Widowsphone is totally different to Symbian and there is a huge change when you switch. I personally switched from an N8 to a Lumia 800 and then to a Lumia 920 and 820. Like you I found it very strange at first but 18 months down the line, I have adapted and now find it different but easier to use than Symbian in many ways. There are things that still annoy me but I now work around them and there are features that I now cannot live without.
Back to your gripes, I might be able to help with a few.
T9 or Qwerty, you do get used to it. The word prediction on the 920 is very good once you get used to it.
Missed calls and other notification are shown as icons on the lock screen and then as numbers on the tiles once you unlock.
The homescreen unfortunately is the way the UI is. Need to talk to Microsoft about that but again, you do get used to it.
For toggles, download an app called connectivity shortcuts.
To send a contact, goto People>Tap on the contact you want to share>3 dots>share contact>tick>select the sharing method you wish to use.

Nokia Lumia 920 India Launch ! - Some Observations...

Hi,
Being a Nokia fan for years .. I decided to write this .. I hope people at the right level from Nokia see this.
We all know Nokia Lumia 920 has probably hit all the right spots with Users abroad and the best thing is they are loving it a lot. I probably would like to be one of them soon.
However I have certain concerns,
When Nokia launced Lumia in India people had high hopes including myself however one thing that I have always found going wrong is the 'PRICING' .. yes such insanely high pricing at launch .. why ? Look at the pricing of Lumia 800 at launch (around 33k) . Look at the pricing of Lumia 900 still (31k) ? .. Lumia 800 now sells around at the price of 19k !! - almost a 40% drop in price.
The basic thinking in the minds of people including me is 'Don't buy a Nokia phone immediately on launch !!'. Why can't this be changed ? - Yes everybody wants to earn profits but in a situation wherein you are more in search for Mindshare .. This does not make sense. Obviously I am no one to teach anybody anything but this is what I feel & what I have felt for years.
If I buy a Nokia Lumia 920 at launch only to find that after 3 months the pricing has come down by 3-5k .. I will not be a Happy Consumer.
Nokia - Launch Lumia 920 at a very competitive price (so that the likes of SGS3 & HTC 8x will feel ashamed) .. Arrive at a price & keep it steady for real long so that the initial adopters are happy & others come to know that Nokia's pricing is real good and will stay that way for long.
Nokia's Lumia are pretty good phones .. they never lag when compared to Android etc however they have not been well received by people here in India. The most common answer that I get is 'Bluetooth not there - can't transfer files' , 'Can't use memory card ' & 'Apps not available'.
Nokia - you have to change this mindset of people because with Windows Phone 8 these things are no longer hindrances ! .. especially Bluetooth & Micro-sd support.
I am expecting your Ads to have this .. be it on Radio or TV or Internet.
Can we have right people on the Job ? - Recently I went to Hypercity Mall (in Mumbai) (Nokia booth). I took in my hand a Lumia 510. I asked how much RAM ? .. to my surprise he answered 512 Mb .. and I was like What ? I asked him to recheck - still the same answer. He said we have confirmed. The phone actually comes with 256 Mb of RAM.
Now imagine what happens to a consumer who brought this phone from him ?
Nokia - Please get the right people at task for Nokia Lumia 920 & 820 because there you have got some real innovations like PureView, OIS, Wireless Charging etc. Ensure that users get the right demo of all the innovations. First impression will be the Last impression.
At Malls (without Nokia booths), the 2 phones Lumia 800 & Lumia 710 lonely guard the booths .. with rarely anybody there to explain about them. Just on the side of it I find Samsung's booth with all the latest flagships standing there & probably someone to explain about it - however Android needs no explanation these days will all aware about it (& even if not aware they know a phone with it is Cool!).
Nokia - Please set your own booths for Lumia (both WP8 & WP7) & assign one of your Guys per Booth. I really don't know the dynamics of setting up booth at a mall & the financial impact of it. All you need to do is differentiate your Lumia's from others.
Alternatively you can have a Lumia Van (or Lumia Vans) running around the City with all the possible Lumia's on it for doing Demo's. All Lumia's - since a person can come up to check a Lumia 510 too & not having a specific Lumia means Dissatisfaction for the user.
Nokia Lumia 920,820 & 620 are gem of a phones .. Hope everything is done right with them in a price sensitive market like India & I hope that Nokia you are listening to a User's opinion here.
Here's someone who wishes real good things for Nokia. Good luck with the launch of Nokia Lumia 920, 820 & 620. Desperately waiting !!

Hi slon!
Welcome to Nokia Forum!
Let me answer your question in the same manner you have presented it.
1. How can I configure networking option for individual application (it was standard option before, see N8)
- Can you tell me which particular application/s you are referring to? The phone prioritizes WLAN connection over 3G to ensure quality customer experience.
Example: Nokia Maps - when downloading map data, it would require you to use WLAN as phone would require high amount of data.
2. Where can I find the option like: Automatic, Always ask, WLAN only when using access to data connection
- These options are not available on the device. However, you can find some settings that are similar to what you are looking for:
Settings>Wifi>Tap on Advanced> you will have the following options:
Notify me when new networks are found
Automatically connect to Wi-Fi hotspots
Send information about Wi-Fi connections to help discover nearby Wi-Fi
Keep Wi-Fi on when the screen times out
