Nokia Lumia 930 Bugs and Defects

Can't seem to set a new lock screen background, what's that all about? It just keeps reverting back, not saving changes.

Sorry for multiple posts, but I think I have a solution to the grey buttons I mentioned and the purple hue when turning on.

I went to settings, turned off sun readability in the display section. It seems to have helped.

Yes, the grey keyboard and some other grey areas are a feature; not a bug.

Yeah its what happens when you have sun readability turned on. Makes it easier to read, but looks bloody awful lol

After choosing a new picture you should wait a while. Only after the chosen picture is displayed as the current background picture you can hit the back button or the Windows button to look at the end result. Otherwise it will keep on reverting back to the original.

My initial reaction to the 930, coming from a 920, is positive but muted - it's not a quantum leap forward but happy with the upgrade. Can anyone please confirm if their volume rocker is "loose" compared to the power and camera button? All three on my 920 after solid but the 930 volume rocker is quite wobbly and if I hold the device sideways, I can produce a fairly nasty "hollow" sound. It doesn't feel secure and I wouldn't want it to stop working down the line! At the same time, I don't want to return it if that's just how it's been manufactured for the metal enclosure

All the buttons are nice and firm on mine. Certainly not loose or wobbly anyway.

Mine are kinda wobbly when turned sideways, but nothing to raise concern, its not as solid as other phones I've had, but i don't see it as a major problem.

Thanks guys - I like the build quality otherwise but it's concerning me quite a bit and I've only picked it up a few times so far

I frequently listen to FM Radio on loudspeaker mode and I've found it "mutes" for no apparent reason, and after 1 min it de-mutes, all on its own.
After 2 or 3 episodes, it begins to work correctly for hours.
(Always happened while stationary, so it's not a FM reception issue)

ANyone found that?

I confirm the volume rockers are quite wobbly and make a sound when I shake the phone.

I'm gonna return the phone (to Dutch website Bol.com) for the sound issues I have. It's so frustrating I can't simply play continuous music. I need to restart the phone several times a day. But I'm starting to like the phone a lot. Asked to give me a green one in return

I tried the volume rockers on a few demo units and they seemed slightly wobbly, but nothing that would bother me unless I specifically tried to find a flaw in it. Not really to a point though where they would've made any sound when shaking though.

I've been playing a but with mine and think I'll have to send it back. The volume rocker rattles with any slight tilt of my hand. The power button is wobbly too, but totally fine - there's just too much of a difference to ignore

Would you say that the volume rocker was the same level of wobbly as the power button? I'll try and get a video of it, but I'd happily live with it being wobbly if it didn't move so much as to make noise

Mine are nice and firm too...actually, maybe a little too stiff. Or then it's me that am too accustomed to the more prominent ones on the 920.

Are you trying to use one of those Microsoft placed for the Tiles background? Because you may not have access to that one. The folder itself is hidden in the phone and you can't delete it (at least I haven't found a way yet)...

Mine is quite wobbly especially the camera button but it doesn't make any sound when I shake it.

 

[kelumnk]

DJCBS, yes it is.
But I can access it for the background photo! but not lock screen!

 

[Windows Moan]

I have no idea if this has been mentioned before and If it has I apologise so..
No Google option in preferred search? It's there in Developer Preview!? Bing is very limited compare to Google - especially in the UK. It was annoying that there was only g.com and no .co.uk option.. but I could live with that!

Has anyone seen if the update available for the 930's fixes any of the issues.
