Guys,
After reading Lumia 920 battery - Your opinions I was wondering how many of you have issues with the phone overheating, especially in the upper part of the phone. I consider myself a moderate user, but find my phone unusable at most of the times due to the heat and battery life being extremely poor.
Now, it hasn't been like this from the beginning. I got my phone back in November and till recently was a very happy Nokia user indeed. From around May time I have been experiencing some serious issues with the phone - to start off the apps updates stopped coming through and I performed all the actions recommended by other users on this forum and the Nokia Community forums - unpin the store tile, clear Internet Explorer history/cache, soft reset, uninstall Skype, hard reset - you get the image - I was determined to fix it before sending the phone to the boys at Nokia. But no matter what I did there was no progress and I finally ran out of patience in July. I sent my phone away to Nokia, got it fixed (or so I thought) - the updates finally started appearing again.
From then on I started experiencing SERIOUS issues with the battery draining and overheating. Once again, I am way beyond the switch the Bluetooth, NFC, background apps off... Put it this way, I spent a lot of time trying to figure it out. The battery goes down by 20-30% overnight when the phone does absolutely nothing. That happens on both - the wi-fi and network data connection. No matter what the settings are and what I do (or don't do) with the phone it keeps discharging by around 7%/h on average. Oh, the apps updates stopped coming through once again.
Recently I sent my phone to Nokia again and asked for a replacement, apparently I got it (despite the body of the phone and the cosmetics remain the same). The IMEI has changed indeed, but the first things I noticed after switching the phone on is THE HEAT. It almost burns your hand while restoring the backup and installing the apps on my home wifi. Now I realise that restoring a back-up may be an intense task for the CPU to deal with, but come on, losing 10% of battery in 10 minutes and literally burning my hand?
Did Nokia play a joke on me? Is it possible to change IMEI in the phone without replacing it? I am slightly suspicious as the cosmetics of the phone are definitely the same as before, this has been confirmed by them today. I get all kind of thoughts now as my patience, like my battery, has been drained.
Opinions and experiences welcome!
