ok just exchanged my lumia for another one cause of the back button problems. Now this new lumia does not have the back button problem, but i noticed that my inline controls are not working on this and i dont know if its just me, but has anyone noticed that even when the volume is maxed out at 30, it really isn't all that loud.

does your volume seem fine or is it a tad bit low? maybe im just exxagerating but compared to other phones it def seems low.
not talking about in call volume, that goes up to 10 and is kinda loud, but when you play a song and listen to it over the headphones, it goes up to 30 but even 30 seems a tad lower that the max volume on other phones. can anyone else confirm this too
Yep, that's the answer i was looking for. Listening to music/podcasts is what i use the phone mostly for and even though the volume is not that low, compared to my titan it just seems way worse. Not sure if i am keeping this phone past 30 days.
What kind of headphones are you using? I tried out my Apple headphones, they seemed the quietest, and cheap Sony in ear headphones, which were still quiet. Then I tried my Turtle Beach xbox headset and that went up way high, so its not like the device doesn't have the ability to go up high, I'm thinking its the headset. I can stand it for now, and I plan on buying some nice headphones soon. I'm thinking the Nokia in-ear Purity.

For the volume issue - I'm currently using Bose - in ear headphones (pretty old pair) and it sounds fine. BUT when I'm teaching either my Zumba or Turbo Kick class, it seems like the sound starts off pretty quiet when I queue up a playlist, and gets louder on the second track. It's kind of...odd? Example: This morning I had the volume turned up on the surround sound board in class - warmup track was horribly silent, but when the second song kicked in it practially blasted.

Speaker causing button reponse issues
Playing music or podcast through the speaker causes the touch buttons issues. When I put in my headphones, everything works fine. I tried it about ten times. It also happens when playing games. I'm pretty sure that's why the pop ups happen.

I updated pretty quick and may not have figured out the camera-from-off quick access before I updated. But post-update, my camera-from-off works sometimes, but not others. I haven't yet noticed if any specific prior action breaks the quick access. Power cycle seems to fix it though.
Not a biggie, but an annoyance. Pressing power first and then camera always works though.
I have the volume and camera button issue when the phone is "sleeping", turning it on and then trying it again works flawlessly. Same thing through the inline controls on the purity in ear headphones.
My back and windows buttons also act up exactly as others are describing. Playing any audio through the phone's speaker for a while and then pressing the home/back button acts as a long press. Plugging the headphones in solves this immediately.
I really care more about the back button issue, but I trust Nokia will fix it. Still very happy with the phone otherwise.

I think I found a reliable way to make the back button break. Go play penguin and get at least 8000 points, it would probably work with less, but you can do 8000, right? When you lose, press return to main menu and then press the back button. It should error in the way that everyone on here us saying it does. I got it to do it pretty reliably a few times, so give it a try and see if this is a widespread issue or if a new device is necessary to fix it.
like many of you, i just got the lumia 900 and i did update it. but i found 2 issues.
1. sometimes the phone will just indicate no service and the phone tile will say "emergency calls only" but i can still send/receive data on the network
2. the phone indicates 4g instead of LTE in areas i used to have lte

Im now having the issue of the camera button not bringing the phone out of sleep. I noticed it didn't work today. I restarted the phone and still nothing. Oh well. Still love it.
I get this too. You don't have to power cycle though; airplane mode on then off will do the job. Still, it's a very annoying issue. I didn't have this problem before the update.
I also saw issue #2. Try cycling airplane mode; that makes LTE start working in areas like that. I hope this gets fixed soon.
hey i'm gonna weigh in on the audio stuff too.
Headphones: I'm using these noise-isolating earbud headphones and i noticed there is a significant base level of noise (white noise). Definitely much higher than my laptop, haven't compared it to my other mp3 players. Don't know if a software fix can take care of that though. It's present in music and when sound is required, like keypresses.
Phone speaker for games/media: volume 1 is not all that low and each increment doesn't seem to change much
Call Quality: no complaints, but I haven't used it too much so far

The past two days I have dropped my signal, the first day I took it to At&t and they struggled to get it connected but finally did. Process was - turn off wifi, turn off phone, restart phone, turn on wifi. They told me it was "wierd" but shouldn't happen again. The next day it did indeed happen again. I'm a little worried it may be some type of bug.
I seem to be getting the disappearing keyboard bug-thought I left that one behind with my Focus!
