Bugs / Defects with your Lumia 925

[metalchick719]

I figured I might as well drop into this thread to post, although I have only noticed two issues with my 925... Every so often, I'll notice the screen flickering, not when I'm on the home screen but while I'm using an app. The other issue is that the screen sometimes goes very dark, even when the battery isn't 20% or lower. Not huge issues, though.

Does L925 Support USB OTG?? Can we move apps to it???

no windows phone currently supports OTG.

But there was a rumour that Windows phone 8.1 supports USB OTG.....

yea I hoped so too, but there doesn't to be any official word on it.

And my system storage keeps on increasing..... It was around 2.97 Gb yesterday but today its 3.03 Gb.... No effects even after deleting temporary files....

Installed WP8.1 on my L920, and liked it much better than 8.0 (I had switched to back to iPhone and kept the 920 in a drawer, because I couldn't stand the lack of notifications in WP)

Unfortunately the 920 is quite heavy and massive, so I just got myself a 925.

It's nice and light and has an even better screen than the 920 but........ it overheats to a point that the phone is not warm, but HOT!!! Just like the 920 has always been doing.

So what, is Nokia unable to make phones that don't over heat?

When I first got my 925 it used to over great but maybe only for the first couple of days so maybe it busy had to warm up to the user (no pun intended) cuz it stopped since then!

I hope that you are right!

At least this time I did not make the mistake to buy the devise in Russia (unlike my 920), a country in which "customer service" does not exist in the dictionary... So if the 925 is defective, I won't have any problem sending it back.

I was doing some speed tests and noticed something that could be a problem or could be some clever programming.

While my 925 gets good LTE bars in my area, it usually shows bars with no designation after them when I'm at home. I always assumed that was due to obstructions or heavy loads.

When I did the speed tests specifying 3G/4G preferred, the history labeled the test as over WiFi.

Then I noticed that whenever I turned WiFi off in the phone, I immediately had bars suffixed with LTE and if I turned WiFi back on, the LTE immediately disappeared.

Does anyone know if this is from the phone's WiFi transmitter interfering with the phone's LTE communications?

Or is it some battery saving strategy to turn LTE off when there is a good WiFi connection and the phone set to prefer WiFi?

Or none of the above, in which case why does it do this?

Just flicked my camera on for the first time since 8.1 update and now its gone strange. The image is basically pitch black, even tho I am in a well lit room.
Its picks up light from the tv/laptop but everything else is black.

Any ideas?

A couple of mods went thru the bug thread in the 8.1 section and pulled all the fixes into an organized list.

Thought I noticed the camera problem needing a phone restart.
Anyhoo look thru the OP it's way easier to find fixes now.

I've had instances in which coming off a WiFi hotspot did not successfully fall back to T-Mobile until I do something drastic like toggle airplane mode, or more commonly, reboot the phone.

Don't know why...

I'll note that the problem was evident on GDR2 and GDR3. Haven't really used my 925 much since 8.1.

About 2 weeks with the L925 now, and the overheating keeps happening. As soon as I start using Whatsapp or FB Messenger for a few minutes, the top of the phone gets really hot.

Battery life is ok........ when you don't use the above mentioned apps. As soon as I use them, battery discharge rate gets up to 35% per hour!!

My L920 was acting similarly. I'm starting to think this is an OS issue and not a hardware issue....

Are you on 8.1? If you are then hard reset and don't restore from backup.

Anyone else having problems with the battery percentage being wrong ? I've had I it fully charged 100% turned off and turned back on immediately and reads 83% upon startup

I got myself a new Lumia 925 as well after having destroyed my Lumia 820's screen beyond repairing. I have an issue though, updates for apps are not shown in the WP store, I always have to manually check for any app updates. I haven't found out what causes this issue, or how to solve this problem. Anybody got any tips or similar experiences?

 

[bigsee]

The 8.1 will provide a searchable updates in store a.f.a.i.k.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Mobile Nations mobile app

so basically I'll have to wait till wp8.1 is released and search manually every app? Is there no way to solve this earlier?

 

[L925]

The store doesn't show me the new updates, I have to open the app and update it from there.
