    New Amber Update Problem

    Amber update bricked my wife's 822. I downloaded it at around 6:00 p.m. last night with no issue. Once downloaded, I immediately tried to install the update. I kinda forgot about the phone after that and 4 hours later noticed that the gears screen was still on. OK, now I was getting worried but...

    Official LUMIA 928 GDR2/Amber Update Thread

    My 928 updated a few days ago without any real issues that I could see. However, I will say that the glance feature doesn't work well in that the clock stays on nearly all the time despite my settings. Also just today I encountered something weird in that when I hit the power button to wake the...

    Does your phone rattle?

    Mine creaks and buzzes like a mofo. I really like my 822 but the creaks and buzzing is highly annoying. It makes it feels really cheaply made. The buzzing noise is heard when my phone vibrates. So when I am in a meeting at work and my phone vibrates to alert that I have a text or incoming call...

    for those who paid $99 for the 822 online

    Thanks for the tip!! Just saved me a hundred bucks on 2 lines! Even though I purchased my phones from my local store, I called and asked for the price match. I originally paid $149 for each phone before the rebate and had it charged to my account. The rep on the phone said she would price match...

    Just grabbed a Lumia 822, can not send a text picture??

    Never had a problem sending pic (from camera or otherwise) via text on mine.

    Power button

    My wife's button on hers is seems to be "sinking" into the handset. It is definitely pushed in lower than the power button on my phone. I'm worried that it is going to fail.

    Verizon Red theme color = Red theme color?

    Both reds look the same to me on my phone as well.

    Anybody having issues with speaker distortion?

    Occasionally when playing games or receiving a phone call, I will notice that the sound coming from the external speakers will have what sounds like a high pitched static distortion as best as I can describe it. For example while playing Wordament, the distortion happens when I complete a word...

    Rattle

    No rattle for me. BUT, there is some buzzing when the phone vibrates. A little annoying but definitely not worth sending it back for a whole new phone.

    Just ordered wireless charging charging cover / plate for the 822.

    I just purchased the silicone tpu case from the Verizon store yesterday for my daughter's 822. I noticed on the packaging that it states it will fit with the wireless charging backplate installed on the phone.

    Problems installing apps? Wordament won't install.

    Wordament installed fine on wife's and my 822. It also installed fine on my son's Trophy.

    Just wanted to give the 822 some love!

    My daughter and I have been using the Nokia Music service. I find it quite similar in use to Pandora. I will say that it is extremely responsive. For example, when you want to skip to the next song, it is near instant. No lag or buffering at all. Quite surprising really that it is that quick...

    Disappointed at verizon/nokia

    I agree. I was a bit skeptical about the 822 at first. But now that I have one, I think it is a fantastic device for the money. The battery life is very good lasting through the day and evening with moderate to heavy usage and still having about 15%-20% left late into the evening when I retire...

    Problems installing apps? Wordament won't install.

    My daughter is unable to download and install Wordament. Not sure what is going on here. I have already set my daughters permissions on windowsphone.com to allow downloads of both free and paid apps. I enabled those settings 4 days ago. Anybody have ideas as to what is going on and knows of a...
