Well I've now reinstalled the apps I use reasonably frequently. As advised, I've been careful to disable background operations in these apps that I don't actually need. All the background tasks that I do want are still working. I'm very pleased. Thanks again.

Thanks so much to Al_2 and fwaits. Based on their advice I decided to be more assertive and uninstalled most of the apps listed in the background tasks advanced section. Hay presto! The remaining apps' background tasks sprang back into life. Not sure it's possible to draw a solid conclusion from...

In the Microsoft forum the Microsoft person said a hard reset may not fix the problem as it'll probably just come back. But I'll try Al_2's suggestion.

Week four for me now. I'm starting to fear this is going to be permanent.

I've applied GDR2/Amber. The problem remains.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I have tried the previous poster's suggestion anyway: Is battery saver off? Yes Do you have a working internet connection? Yes ... are you within your usage limits? Yes But, yes, I'll report back after the GDR2 update.

No, I don't think it's push notification related. All apps will update once if they are run, etc, but not after that. Also, some of the apps involved, like Simple Calendar, don't require an internet connection. GDR2 is now available for my phone. I'm going to update this weekend in the hope...

Hello. I own a Lumia 920. I've had it since it since February. In July all of the background tasks for apps from the marketplace stopped running. A few weeks later they started up again. Then a few weeks after that they stopped again. I'm now into the third week of them not running. For me the...

Sigh. This was a genuine fault. I am fully aware of the normal behavior - I've had this phone for a month and had WP7 phone for 2 years before. The "many seconds" I referred to was as many as 30 - obviously not normal. Clearly I should have waited longer before opening the thread but I was...

It stopped doing it this afternoon, so I seem to have posted prematurely. False alarm.

From yesterday there have been delays of many seconds in response to pressing the power button on my Lumia 920. This appears to be a software problem, not hardware problem. Pressing the button to switch the phone on or unlock it is fine. But pushing the button to lock will dim the screen but...

I've just got a Lumia 920 and am finding this behaviour REALLY annoying! In some cases it replaces the album title, album art and artist name, all apparently based on fairly common track title. I find myself looking at the listing thinking "what's that track - I don't own that". The solution is...

Can anyone recommend a good pull-tab-style pouch for the 920? There seem to be plenty available but I'm concerned that a few have reviews that suggest the 920 doesn't actually fit in them properly, which I'd be keen to avoid.

Any progress on this? I too am looking for a recomendation for a pull-tab style case for a 920. Amazon has plenty of products listed as "lumia 920 case" but they are all clearly generic cases. Of those that get reviews they often say that it was too small.

Well I'm intrigued. How can a device be "4G ready" and yet not support 4G on a particular network? I'd be interested to know what the explanation from Nokia is - are you going to call the careline number?

This is on the Clove Review page for the 920: "Re 4g, all Lumias are 4g ready, including yours. However, it currently needs to be updatedby firmware from EE in the UK. Later, when more companies offer 4g (and EE exclusivity ends) we would expect Nokia to send a firmware update ota to enable 4g...

This is frustrating. I was planning to get an unlocked 920 from Clove, mainly to break the hold the operators have over the updates. But I also want it to be 4G-ready for when 4G becomes more widely available next year. Have you tried contacting who you bought it from for assistance? In the case...
