I originally posted this on the Nokia Care site, but believe some of you fine people may be of some great help as well.....
I have the Nokia Lumia 1020 and have been using it as my primary phone since its launch in the states. I love the phone and, up until now, I haven't had any issues. However, I'm currently on a trip overseas and I've had nothing but trouble with the phone. It continually freeze, requiring me to issue a soft reboot (volume down + power buton hold). Even after issuing the reboot, the phone doesn't always act in the desired behavior. I find myself issuing the reboot several times in a row. Moreover, the phone starts to get really, really hot and acts strange (changes my time, etc..). Here is examle of what I go through, step by step:
I'm navigating my phone, normally. Looking at pictues, browsing the web, pretty basic stuff
The phone will freeze on whatever screen I'm on. I have seen it screen while I'm in the Nokia Panorma app, 6tag, and in a handful of basic apps/built in functions
No keys or buttons are responsive
I issue a soft reboot by pressing the down volume and power button at the same time for 10+ secs
Very rarely does the phone reboot and act in a normal fashion. It will usually freeze right away and I have to issue the reboot again, and again, and again
Eventually, the phone will reboot into a somewhat working session.
My date and time is set to an aribtrary one, even though I have my phone set to automatically obtain the time (I'm currently +12 ahead from my EDT origin). It actually sets my date back to March (it is currently October) and an earlier time
Any text messages I receive come in and are not sorted to the bottom of the current conversation (I have to hunt them down from previous conversations within the same thread) - I think this is due to the date/time issue
I have had situations where my last photos taken got deleted (i.e., probably never saved correctly before the freeze)
The phone will get really, really hot
My Situation/Setup
I live on the east coast of the US (GMT -4)
I'm curently in Singapore (GMT +8)
I have the phone set to roam internationally
The phone is roaming on a 4G signal
I have the date/time set to a 24 hour clock and to get time automatically
I have wi-fi enabled, but I am usually not on a network when I freeze (I have been though)
OS version: 8.0.10327.77
Firmware revision: 3045.000.1325.0001
RM-877 ATT-US varient
Lumia Amber software
I've tied uninstalling any apps I *may* have loaded since the issue began, but I have had no luck. I've also messed with the date and time to set it manually. Again, no luck. I'm about to disable photo and video backups (I currently have them set to "best quality").
My questions:
Anybody else having this issue
Anybody have an idea as to how I can solve for it.
Thanks in advanced for any help.
