Top 5 Issues and Solutions for the Nokia Lumia 920

There is no doubt that Lumia 920 is one of the main actors of Nokia’s Lumia series. It runs a Windows Phone 8 operating system. However, this smartphone inevitably has some hardware and software issues like other phones.nokia-lumia-920

Issue 1: Battery Drain

People are always complaining about the rapid battery drain problem on almost every smartphone and Nokia Lumia 920 is no lucky to escape this fate.

Possible Solutions

1. Check if any background process stuck or not. A stuck process easily drains your Lumia 920 battery.

2. Disable apps you aren’t using: NFC, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, mobile data, etc.

3. Reduce screen brightness.

 

Issue 2: Random Shutdown

Some users have reported that the device randomly switches off while in use. This is also a common problem for the Lumia 920.

Possible Solutions

1. First try to do a soft reset by holding down the Volume Down and Power buttons together until the phone vibrates three times.

2. If the soft reset fails, then try a hard reset (Camera + Volume Down + Power buttons at the same time). Hold all three buttons down until the phone vibrates then release power button and hold volume down and camera for a further five second. Remember by doing this you will lose all data, for it's basically a factory reset.

 

Issue 3: Overheating

Nokia Lumia 920 is overheating after some time (20 minutes to 1 hour according to some users’ reports). Overheating problem is a general issue for most smartphones.

Possible Solutions

1. Check the running tasks by pressing the back button for long so as to close all running processes.

2. When the Lumia 920 handset performs some programs that needs searching for permission to use location services, it may cause the Lumia 920 overheating problem. Try to launch every program you installed one by one and accept the terms and conditions.

 

Issue 4: Blurry Photos

Lumia 920 is famous for its photographing. But the blurry pictures taken by the device may annoy you.

Solutions

1. If you use camera shutter key, then you should first half press the camera shutter key and wait till camera locks focus on the scene.

2. If you take pictures by tapping on screen, then you should tap on the part of screen where you want to focus, then take the photo.

 

Issue 5: Lumia 920 Freezes

Some users complaint that their Nokia Lumia 920 freeze when people use the bluetooth headset or Wifi.

Possible Solutions

1. Some users encountered with this problem after installing Viber. Uninstalling Viber might solve user’s freezing problem.

2. Some users point out that when the WiFi or Bluetooth is on, it may freeze and the battery may drain very quickly possibly due to large amount of data transfer. So you can try turn off the WiFi or Bluetooth and see if it helps.

3. If you still cannot figure out what the problem is, you can try a hard reset (Camera + Volume Down + Power buttons at the same time).

      this cellphone has a inner battery and in order to protect it from overextended periods of charging or incorrect charging devices, it has a kind of “break” inside that jumps (or melts, depends of the problem) when it detects continuos overcharging or a wrong supply of power, maybe this is why your cellarphone doesn´t switching on and only an authorized Nokia service could fix it.

      • BY Harry

        That fusible link requires a lot of heat to disrupt the battery, so try another idea. The issue is the battery charging circuit implementation which is a faulty design. And yes, I have been designing those a few years.

    A really annoying problem from my Lumia is the over-sensitive keys at the bottom of the phone (back, home, search) as it seems whenever I’m on an app they activate, switching the screen away from the app or game. What can I do to stop this?

    My nokia lumia 920 screen keeps on freezing, the 3 keys at the bottom and the screen stays lit up but there is no response when I touch it, this happens about 10 times daily and a soft reset solves the problem for a little while but then happens again, I still have not found a solution to this problem and it’s doing my head in, it’s my second 920 as the charger burnt out my old one but nokia would not tell me the cause instead just gave me a new one had this one just short of a year and would love it if someone has a solution to the freezing problem

      My 920 Power Button is unresponsive, a new flex cable does not fix the problem. Soft reset is not possible due to power button not working. Hard reset doesn’t solve the problem. I’m finding out this may be a software glitch in win 8.1? Anybody know anything?

    I’m very thankful for your advice.Actually my lumia920 has a proximity issue, So i tried the soft reset & it worked!!!.
    And one more thing ,My phone switches on even i switch it off while charging. So can u suggest me what to do?

    • BY gohamfather

      that´s not a problem anamika, is a normal function of the phone system in order to check if the source of charging is correct. For a long life battery, charge your cellphone when it´s has “0” power, and disconnect it when it alarms you that it has a full/complete charge, otherwise the inner battery could damage.

      I had this problem of phone turning off and on when its dead and being charged. I changed my charger and the problem reduced significantly, though hasn’t died out completely. Check if changing your charger helps
