my lumia 620 wont load data, send/recieved text or make call on 3g or H. only do when on edge or H+. works fine on other phone.why?

Maybe you need to look at your carrier settings again.

On Topic, I do get lags and jerks with the 620. Not horrible and not in any way all the time, but enough to make you stop in your tracks and go 'huh'. The most frequent thing is that the lockscreen gets 'stuck', like a jammed sliding wardrobe door: You can push it along but it doesn't fully unlock. Something I've never seen with 1Gb WP8s or WP7. I need to press the power button twice to get it to go away so not a huge deal. App resume is often slower but again not terrible. For how little I paid for it though I'm not complaining. If I'd bought a similarly priced Android it'd have been lag city.

Bought a brand new (i.e. not refurbed) Lumia 620 yesterday (9/6/2013). After charging the battery then turning the device on for the very first time, going through each setup step and so on... then when it came to the time zone setting, e.g. UTC, London etc. the screen went mad and looked like the screenshots in the first post of this thread, as in the screen was all repeated over itself. Althought totally unreadable to us humans, the phone seemed to think nothing of it and it still seemed to respond to scrolling and selection. Interestingly enough, clicking randomly on the screen to choose a time zone, though i could not read the time zone, and then clicking back into the time zone selection, the screen was still messed up - but not on the previous page. Locking the screen and then unlocking the screen seemed to cure the issue temporarily and so I was able to finish off the setup process, albeit having chosen a wrong time zone.

Having had that as a first 'welcome' to WP8 and Nokia Lumia Phones... not a good start at all.

Following on from that first screen error event, the screen did a similar thing again on the lock screen, where the time and date and other text is written - it was all messed up again, but the actual background photo looked ok.

Between the two errors I'd not installed any apps or done any entry of data, it was and still is just as new, but unboxed so there is no software that I'd installed causing the issues.

5 minutes into owning the phone, checked for firmware updates using the phones built in check and it did find one. Having successfully updated the phone, the screen unlock messed up text issue has happened again three more times, so the phone is going back to the shop. Not a good 24hour start to Nokia Lumia ownership and I'm tempted to send Nokia a bill for doing their Research & Development for them, plus fuel to take it back to the shop!

Meh. Anything can be bad every now and again. If you've had problems as often as I've had issues with e.g. Apple computers, then sure you can get upset - but if this is your first time, jeez suck it up and take it back.

Update to my last post - took the Nokia Lumia 620 back to the shop and they replaced it without hesitation. Although the people working there hadn't seen the issue before, that in itself told them it was faulty as they've sold lots of Nokia Lumia phones and only had very few returned and none with the same fault as mine was displaying. New phone is perfect, not a single glitch so far *touch wood*. My best guess would be that it was a manufacture fault, perhaps a transistor in the graphical processor or the screen itself. I wouldn't have thought it was software on this occassion - but - the only other time I have ever seen a similar glitch to this was on an old laptop I installed the beta version of Windows 8 on. Due to it's old graphics card, although I could get it working with proprietary drivers, it often displayed a similar graphical glitch to what the Lumia 620 showed. Whether that's just pure coincidence or something to do with Windows 8 & Windows Phone 8, I do not know.

To fatpigeon... thanks for the pointless comment. Quite clearly not my first problem and even if it was, does not mean I should just accept it. Maybe you should consider trying to fix issues rather than live with them, it will get you further in life - and definitely further with computers!
