Bug Ignored since Lumia Black released

[seq1]

I checked this on both Lumia 1020 and Lumia 720. Both with Cyan.
The issue occurs on a 720 but not on a 1020.

Happens to me all the friggin time.

Doesn't happen on my 920, still on Black with 8.1 DP and GDR1 update. Perhaps it's an issue only with the slightly newer lower-end phones?

In any event, speaking as someone who's been programming professionally since the 1970s, developers can only fix bugs if they 1) are aware of them, and 2) can duplicate them. So who has reported this to Nokia/Microsoft Mobile, and made sure that the developers have duplicated the problem?

Hello ,
I don't know why people are not reporting this bug but seriously I got mad with this bug.

Bug detail:
When phone light get low (dimmed) i.e 5 sec before screen times out (because of idle condition of phone) during this period if we Tap or whatever key we press then it doing function of Holding of that Tap/key instead of just doing function of normal key press or Tap.

To check this bug in your phone:
1) Set screen times out to 30 sec in Lock screen settings.
2) Go to start screen and do nothing for 25 sec.
3) As soon as display light get low (dimmed) Tap On any Tile (before screen goes out)
4) It will show Customize Tile instead of opening of that app.
5) Now touch anywhere on screen and that tile will be shifted to that point (it will also shift that tile if you press back button)

Note: 30 secs here is just an example , this bug is occurring on any value of screen time out you set. So it will occur when display light get dim.

The same way if you press Back button when light gets low it will start Multitasking Screen. And you can also try many more like type a key in message and etc..!!!

I found this bug in:
Lumia Black , Lumia Cyan , Windows Phone 8.1 DP , Windows Phone 8.1 Update DP

Lumia user please check this bug in your phone and reply and Non Lumia user alos check because I think this bug is in OS not in firmware.


P.S.: As per user's comments this bug found on : Lumia 520 , Lumia 525 , Lumia 720

1) It does not happen with my 928 and 822.
2) Have you reported the problem to Microsoft (and previously Nokia)? It clearly does not affect many phones and it certainly will not get fixed unless people report it. Assuming something affects everyone and/or that others are reporting your problem will result in a really long wait.

720: WP 8.1 Cyan+GDR1, and I try and this happens.

Tested on a friend's Lumia 510 and 520. Does not happen.

 

[Tushar Suryavanshi]

Everything all right on my 620 8.1 update 1 dev prev

 

[GohanGautham]

L520 Cyan no issues found! L620 8.1.1 w/o Cyan also no issues found! And also L720 and L1520 both with Cyan no issues found! Guess its only for a handful of people like dkp1977 mentioned!

 

[SlingLaker9811]

Does not happen in Lumia 800 and 720.

I have my screen timeout set to never. I lock the phone with the power button when I am finished, hence no issue.
L920

How to set the screen timeout to never?
The option used to be there in WP7, but I cannot find it in WP8.

It depends on the phone chipset. Lumia 820 and above have it, Lumia 720 and below do not.

It is not there even on my Lumia 1020

Edit: Just went through some threads. It is a feature available to phones with LCD display. There's some burn in issue on phones with AMOLED display if a static image is displayed on the screen for a long time.
