Lumia 1320 Bugs and Defects

[hopmedic]

Use this thread to post any factory bugs and/or defects that you encounter.

Here are some terms you may come across in the troubleshooting process, and what they mean:
[INFO]Soft Reset: By pressing down the Volume Down + Power buttons for 10-15 seconds (or until the device vibrates) you can perform a soft reset on your device. This is a little bit like a factory reset for your phone's OS only you get to keep all of your personal data. Think of it like restarting your PC. This is the first thing you should try if your device is behaving oddly.

Hard Reset: By going to settings>about>reset your phone you can completely wipe your phone of your personal data (ideal if you're going to send in your phone for repair or sell it). Your phone will turn off and you'll see spinning gears for a while (up to an hour or so) and when it's done you will see the same screens you saw when you first turned on your phone out of the box. You'll have to sign in with your Microsoft account again and start over.

How to make your Lumia's batter last longer: See the thread over at the Nokia Discussion Forum here.

How to reset your device's camera: Go to settings>applications>photos+camera>reset.

Note that different people use the terms hard and soft reset differently, so you may find these terms used differently than explained here.[/INFO]

Please be as thorough as possible in explaining your problem, so that others will have an easier time helping you resolve it.

Sometimes when i wake my phone up by double tapping, it will go into fluorescent screen mode (colours all messed up etc) but i can still access my phone. I have to lock the screen again and unlock it again to get back into normal state. It happens twice already in 2 days. I did soft reset too. Should I take it back? Could it be a software glitch? My phone is on latest firmware (released 27 March 2014).

I faced this problem too. But after doing a soft rest and post the last firmware (released 27 March 2014) I haven't seen it happening so far. I'm not sure if its gone away as its something random. So I will have to keep my phone under observation. In fact it is a problem many of the L1320 users are facing so I don't think its a hardware issue.

Hello friends,

Not sure if it's an bug or an issue with my phone.
Usually (95% of time) i download apps and games from my pc and then
>transfer to my phone>restart>store>micro sd>check and install. (data network on)
But there are some issues,

1. Some large games e.g. Sims Freeplay, Asphalt 8
I download and installed following the above method and all went good.
Later after two weeks approx. i uninstalled them because i wanted to install some other games
and needed memory.

Again after a week or so, i tried to install Asphalt 8, Sims Freeplay. But it never detected in the option
(after tapping in store>micro sd)
Things i reconsidered would solve my problems after reading some threads here,

1. tried sync-resync with my MS ACCOUNT, actually all accounts
2. Restarted my phone once, twice?? Still No help
3. Tried moving the respective XAP file into some other folder in sd card.
4. Soft reset

Then i gave up, later on i felt it might be the issue because the game sizes were large, but..
Later as days passed, other apps and games within range even 2-15 MB faced same issues installing via micro sd.
Some of them are

Six guns
Hill Climb racing
9gag metro
tetris blitz
wordament .etc.

for me, its ardent to uninstall>install some games apps in a months duration.
Even if i dont do so, and i plan to backup my apps before updating my phone to 8.1
it would be of no use because they wont detect either (considering the fact that it is not a prob. with my phone but with the OS itself).

is it an issue that the once file downloaded it can be installed in phone within a certain duration of time, after that it wont be able to?

NOTE: I dont have current access to WIFI network, but only a limited 1.5gb/month data connection.
Also due to non availibility of WIFI network i am hardly able to update my phone because another issue following as,

Even if my connection is on, the download progression bar remains stuck to 0% always,
( Current OS version: 8.0.10517.150 ) Region: India/ Mumbai
even after trying to download other keyboard language files they remain stuck too on preparing download (which was a solution provided on one of the threads with same issue)
And there is no problem with my connection as it can easily download/browse via Store/ IE

I would love some help regarding the above issues, if any one has faced it or have any idea,
pardon me for my english,
Thanks

Yes apparently that used to happen with my 1020 and 620, you just need to wait for the Windows Phone 8.1 update to be released OTA in your region. It is one of those WP glitches. To be honest, it's a common problem I've seen it on 4 out of 5 1320's. So sit tight till the update starts to roll out. Twitter: @NikCR7

 

[raefonti887]

can someone update whether the screen glitches disappear after the software update? I called the NCC if they can update the software and see if the problem would persist but they gave very dissatisfying answers and the one I was talking on the phone kept on saying it's a display problem.

I'm not sure but I read an article about these glitches, I'm pretty sure Windows Phone 8.1 will solve this problem. I hope the Lumia Cyan update doesn't cause any glitches unlike the Amber update.

It's definitely a software issue. My 820 had this issue on Amber but solved on Black update.

On mine some older WP7.5-8 games produce a cracking sound when audio starts or stops. Sometimes double tap does not work. Otherwise everything else works fine.

 

[Tejinder Singh2]

Does anyone have screen uniformity issues? Mine seems to be yellow on left and blue on right in pitch white background. Anyone experiencing it ?

It seems to be running ok then twice today screen went to off but the Start, Back and Search buttons @ the bottom of the screen vibrated when touched, after 5 mins it restarts by itself and resets to 03.26 on July 26 2012...

Frustrating...

Maybe a new app. Clear your IE cache.

 

[Broadbandrocks]

Don't want to speak to soon but it hasn't done it since...

Thankfully...

Cheers for the tip...

I sent my phone to NCC and I just received the newly repaired phone, but after a few hours, it happened again. Might be a software bug. I still don't have the update. Philippine variant here, unlocked. RM-994

Iv updated to 8.1 and wow the difference is pretty good...no issues thus far and I've pushed it mostly to the max all day since I installed...

Jo here a beta 8.1 prularia tester
what do you mean with navigation barr, the actionbar?
its right on top, just swipe it down.

Background options in batterysensor depends of course on how many apps you got installed .
