Nokia Lumia 1020 Bugs and Defects

[photobriangray]

I reckon we have a firmware update inbound. Mine do light up when charging now. Wonder if it is glance related. Anyway, now that I know they work, I will likely wait it out.

Has anyone else come across an issue while talking on the phone. Where in you hear a rustling or wind....Not sure if it's just mine or if it's something from the Lumia's. My last phone was the Titan II. Just curious if it's just me. If so I may try and take it back see what the MS store can do. Put that warranty to good use.

I'm assuming that the LED lights for Back, Windows, and Search are the result of both charging and/or proximity/light/motion sensor detecting brightness in the room. In a dim lit environment, it may flicker as the result of it being brighter or dimmer at any given moment. I'd bet they're on in the dark, and off in bright areas.

And as others have noted on the 925, they definitely light up when charging.

No, I've not... in fact, just the opposite... all of my calls have been crystal clear which is a dramatic improvement over the 920.

I know what Glance is, but what is "Peek"? I don't see that option anywhere, and my 1020 received some system app updates yesterday (including display+touch)

It's part of Glance... if you go to the Glance section, pick it from the drop down of options (Off, Always on, Timed, Peek). Peek makes it so it will stay on screen for about a minute after display turns off and after that only if you wave your hand over it or some other event happens.

Here's a question for the other anal ocd members in here. Anyone else notice the black on black splotches you can really only see when you are trying? My 900 had it horrible, my 1020 has it but only a few spots. Still annoys me. Best way to see it is download dead pixel checker and then put it on black in a dark room.

 

[Broomcorn]

Yeah I noticed that too. It has to be just the right conditions to see it, but it is there.

My eyes must not be as sensitive, because I don't think I see what you're describing.

So dmfar I've had mines since noon on Friday and everything seems to be working fine. I do get frustrated when taking a picture using the pro cam since the app lags horribly. Even with the update. So does the oggl app as well. Hardware wise I love the device. Only thing that I want is the ability to control the vibration just like we control the screen touch within the settings. The vibration is really light and I can't even feel it when it rings. It's too soft.

Agree about vibration... I have a feeling I won't be silencing my notifications anymore at work, which surprisingly will only really annoy ME, lol.

Mine has that too. Really only visible at night when the glance screen is on. Not much if annoyance, but it is there.

Returned the phone for an exchange and have had no problems, and the leds seem to work normally too

what was the issue with the phone? I'm close to returning just on merit of all the little issues, lint under glass, pieces of dust under camera glass, misaligned speaker grill and the dark splotches...but one thing I've learned, sometimes you downgrade into bigger issues when you exchange.

I find rebooting the phone will get the apps to show up in the app store as needing an update

Here's an idea... inspect it before leaving the store.

Crashed 10 minutes ago when using Groupon, the app was loading local deals then froze, even power button stopped responding, waited for about 10 minutes the phone rebooted.

Picked mine up Friday noon ... just before taking my boys to "Pacific Rim" IMAX 3D.

Some odd behavior ... the phone would should no cell signal even though I had one ... calls and data.

Sunday morning we went grocery shopping in the local Stop and Shop in Fall River, RI. As usual, the signal is very iffy there. However, this time, when the signal came back, it was only for voice: the cell data connection did not come back even though the phone indicated 4 bars of LTE. I can make calls, send text messages, but no data connection, no MMS. Everything works over WiFi.

Spent some time with ATT tech support. I excused myself as soon as they told me the 920 sim was incompatible with the 1020 (I had picked up the phone at the Microsoft Kiosk at Providence Place Mall.

Thinking a exchange is in my future.

Go to Settings, Access Point, and switch to an alternate profile and see if that helps. It could be that AT&T sucks in that area, but I've seen that help.
