Lumia 620 shell #Fail

[Marty Larsson]

I've had my lumia a few weeks love the phone itself but the epic fail is the shell its such a bad build and stupidly made especially the power button as it likes to become stuck! Nokia should never make these shell type covers they are a joke and seem cheaply made, I'm on the verge of selling my Nokia 620 to buy a better built Nokia. Anyone else having problems with the shell cover?

on my 820, they've never made a problem.. I change them pretty often (especially the SD card) and it still works like in the beginning

I guess you get what you pay for your 820 is much dearer so the build quality should be much better, But my 620 is driving me made its not even the phone is the stupid shell case its clunked into!

This does not sound like a general issue with Lumia 620 shells. I believe you must have a dud unit and should have it replaced under warranty.

Personally, I think the phone is very well made for the price. It's survived almost three months with my 16 year old daughter without a scratch - so that's a big plus for build quality.

As much as i love it i think I'm going to have to bring it back haven't even had it 2weeks & I'm having problems with it, freezing/hanging a lot, dead pixels, power button is sticking & rebooting itself for no reason i think I've been dealt with a dud/faulty 620!

If you are in a place with plenty of sun your phone will try to make the screen readable. This is an option which you can turn off in your settings -> display+touch->sunlight readability. A dead pixel is different. You will see a spot on your phone's display which can be either yellow, blue or even white. The colour does not matter. It will be there all the time and there is no way you can remove it. That is a dead pixel.

Your unit must be faulty, I have it and the build quality is impeccable. Dropped it tons of times and NOT even a scratch.

I think your right, the rebooting isn't annoying me as much as the power button jamming/sticking minor in other peoples eyes but its driving me crazy lol
