Lumia 830 Bugs + Defects

[Chris_Germany]

I can also see the light coming out from a small seam on the bottom of my Lumia 830. I already changed my device twice because of this bug, but the each of my new devices have this small gap. It seems not to be an individual case.
Apart from this the Lumia 830 is a fantastic smartphone!

FFS! I said it multiple times (i think here and somewhere else):

<<<<<<<<<<<< *** !THERE IS NO GAP ! *** >>>>>>>>>

Take a picture and show me that gap! Come on, DO IT!

It is the glas! Its round on the edge...
Ah just think about it, have closer look, use your brain, and then tell me again that there is a gap...!

FREQUENT random Cortana activation. (20 times a day?)
Occasionally when not even holding the phone. (Although much more often noticed when doing things).
Either the search button is sensitive to slight gusts of air or there is a bug.
Lumia 830 with Denim. Not DP. No SD installed.

Either the search button is sensitive to slight gusts of air or there is a bug.

I can't imagine this being a software problem, something is probably wrong with the button itself. Unless you're holding it wrong (lol) I would exchange for a new device.

lol relax, any normal person seeing some light coming out from a seam would think there must be a tiny gap there.

Bluetooth audio (music) through my car frequently skips (every 30s).

Although this seems to be more of a 8.1 issue than the device as I saw other mentions of it.

edit: the known fixes and causes seem to work in this case

Cause: WiFi and Bluetooth on at the same time causes bluetooth audio to skip

Fixes:
1) Disable wifi
2) Toggle bluetooth while connected to force a reconnection
3) Soft reset (haven't tested this myself)

theres nothing to "think" about it. A closer look with good working eyes proofs: There is no gap.
And if people dont understand how light travels through glas...well...

I've got the RM-985. Running the prototype software or whatever, So this might be a problem associated with that but maybe someone knows of a possible solution or when the full software will be coming out? I have the Dt-910 wireless charging stand. In my old 925 I would tap the stand (nfc) and a little app displaying the weather and time would appear so I was able to use it as an alarm clock that conveniently displays the weather. Now with my 830, I tap and the DT-910 settings come up. Nothing else, and I can't see how to set that up again. ...and the phone has also been randomly rebooting lol

Inspecting mine closely it certainly looks like there is a tiny gap, about 0.2 mm or so, between the edge of the glass and the lip of the aluminum rim. There is no question though that the glass is properly glued in place so that there is no way for dust getting in. The other explanation could be just that the black coating is missing giving an illusion of a gap.

Either way: implying that people are stupid because they don't understand something is not very constructive. You can make your point without being rude.

 

[Chris_Germany]

Nope, i cant.
I just used a maginfiying glas...cant see anything.

 

[neville1355]

FWIW my 830 is absolutely flawless. No gaps, no light bleeding through at any point in the phone (whether it be through painted glass or other)

Well on my phone there ARE gaps because the bottom frame element isn't cut perfect straight but has 2 tiny bumps in it. You can even test it with paper. If I'll find a cam capable of some serious macro shots I will post a photo. And always remember to stay cool

My Lumia 830 is absolutely flawless, except two small problems one is like everyone here vibration stops randomly, I'm sure about capacitive buttons but I also think it stops for notifications too sometimes( yet to confirm for notification)
and second and bigger one is that mine's earpiece is muffled, sound is very low and distorted. anyone here having the same problem?
I'm thinking of exchanging the device but I don't want to.

Auto-rotation doesn't seem to be working properly. I have noticed this now in my browser as well as the photo gallery. Sometimes I just cannot seem to get the screen into landscape mode no matter what I do! Anyone experienced the same?

 

[anon(5340442)]

My phone isn't vibrating when I get a notification or when I touch the capacitive buttons...anyone else having that issue? Was fine all weekend, issue just started today.

Last night, I was on skype for quite a long time, suddenly it freezed, the phone started vibrating non-stop and all the buttons didn't respond. Thankfully with the 830 it is easy to solve, just remove the battery...

 

[gudbrij]

From India. Do you have any link or news source that say the back cover is being sold separately? Just curious. Ordered a Lumia 830 Black. Thinking of getting other (green, orange) back covers too.

 

[The_Judgement]

Usually that problem of low and distorted audio is because you have to insert deeper the connector.

I would prefer power + vol down but maybe it doesn't really matter if the system really is frozen.

Dear all
My N.L.830 restarts itself sometimes when I work with it , do you have same experience ? is it solvable ?

[pandhersaab27]

My 830 also stops vibrating sometimes, so I got it exchanged... And new one is perfect piece of hardware..
