I am running the latest insider build on Lumia 950 (OS .36, firmware .02020). I am sure before the updates there have been an option to turn on sunlight readability enhacements. However, cannot find it anywhere in the settings, Extras including, anymore.
The camera is beast when I click in shadows, night or other places. But when it comes to sunlight, it fails badly. I've tried multiple settings but it just don't work. Due to photo editing apps in Lumia. They are best editing apps & I'm able to correct them though it.
When I click a photo of someone in sunlight, it puts yellow tint all over him and everywhere else. Skin colour also changes to full yellowish.
W shooting video in bright sunlight the LCD screen on Samsung S5 smart phone blocks out the screen from the clare. How do I correct that to have a clear LCD to look at.
Even though I'm eligible for iPhone 4 upgrade and love my iPhone 3G I'm seriously considering switching to VZW simply because at&t is intolerable here in NYC (first it was data, now it's voice).I set my sights on Incredible and played with it at the VZW store. I can live with it fine. One thing that concerns me is screen visibility under sunlight. I use iPhone quite a lot on the street and really grew to appreciate how visible its screen. Any opinions from those who used both phones on how Incredible stacks in this regard against iPhone?
I keep playing with the settings I want my Screen to stay lit when I am outdoors? I got this clear black display, and I go in sunlight, and it dimms so much I cannot see it at all. I have played with a bunch of settings and it keeps doing it?
So I had my bold for about 3 months now... I'm always constantly on it; always checking BBM's and text messages. One day I noticed that the cursor would move as I am typing a message. I was like wtf but I ignored it... then it kept happening and I noticed that this only happened when I was outside and had my phone out...
I tried using my phone under my desk lamp and there's nothing wrong it. It's something about the sunlight when I'm using my phone that makes the trackpad move in different directions.
I left my iPhone on the table and I came back in about 30 minutes later to find it in direct sunlight, will this damage the iPhone in any shape, way, or form? For example, the display, battery, etc.?
I was in the the winter sun today and my iphone 4s was sitting on the table for about 30mins in direct sunlight. when i went to leave i noticed a yellow patch on the middle left side of the screen. has anyone heard of this happening and if so is it fixable. my phone is still under warranty.
Has anyone else run across this issue? If I have the Nokia 808 in Creative mode and manually adjust the ISO, sometimes I get dark images. This is in bright daylight with my subject completely visible and well-lit in the view finder. It doesn't really matter what the ISO setting is, the pictures will come out dark. If I choose Automatic and then back to Creative, it will "fix" it.
That's not entirely true. I don't know what fixes it. But it will return to normal. I tried to make it happen before writing this note, but could not repeat it indoors. It's possible the bright sunlight was part of the problem...as if the 808 overcompensated for all the light.that gave me an idea...looking at the EXIF properties of the dark images, Lightsource is "Unknown".On the properly exposed images, it says "Daylight". Perhaps this is a clue?
My N8 screen is going black whenever I am making calls in the bright sunlight. So I cannot view the dialler at all and unable to end the calls. This problem really annoys me a lot.
Cant understand why the backup to PC of vital Lumia phone information such as contacts, calendar and messges can not be easily and quickly achieved as with the Nokia suite and N8. I believe it is synced automatically to Sky-drive but I cannot find evidence of this. I would like to have control of this data for easy retrieval and stored on my PC. Windows phone software on my PC is sub standard in comparison with Nokia Suite. It is clunky, contacts cannot be backed up, photos have no picture reference when transferred and the overall Windows Phone software on my PC is second rate in contrast to the Windows Phone 8 phone experience. Can anyone enlighten me on how I can easily copy my contacts to PC. No problem getting contacts into the phone. Just unclear on how to get a copy of them out.
I recently bought a Nokia 1020 and i suspect that there are something wrong with the camera. The quality of the photos that i take are, in my opinion, nowhere near the ones you can se in reviews and those released by Nokia.
To me it looks like it's only the middle part of every photo that is correctly focused. The edges are very blurry. I have no case on the phone, no dirt on the lens and i have tried to reset the camera and reboot, no difference.
I will attach some photos on which I think you can see it clearly. The images are very sharp in the middle but when you move towards the edges it quickly becomes blurry. Both pictures are taken in daylight with Nokia Pro Cam, all settings on auto.
The pictures are the high resolution version: FileSnack | Easy file sharing FileSnack | Easy file sharing.
New to the Windows mobile phone... I use my Windows phone for business and do a lot of conference calls. With my iPhone I used to be able to put the phone number with three commas and then the passcode to the conference call in the meeting request (format = 555-555-5555,,,12121212#). By using this format my customers could just click the link in their iPhone and it would auto-dial the conference number along with the passcode so that they did not have to remember the passcode while driving.
Example: 555-555-5555,,,12121212#. (autohyperlink for iOS) VS 555-555-5555 Passcode 12121212 then press # (caller can hyperlink the phone number but has to remember the passcode and dial it while driving...)
By using this format you could just click the number and it would dial the number pause then auto add the passcode and # to enter the conference call. I think Blackberry used to use a similar format to achieve the same thing.
Yesterday, I went running with my Lumia 1020 listening to music and using the Runtastic app. The music stopped - I looked at the phone - it was turned off. I tried powering on, but to no avail. I should also mention that upon leaving, the battery was fully charged and this happened after some 20 minutes. When I came home, I immediately put the phone on the wall charger and expected it to power on after a while. I checked it after 3 hours and nothing, the phone was still stone-dead and what was even more worrying, completely cold - no heat-up from charging.
I tried connecting it to my PC - the computer didn't even recognize ANY device was connected to it. Just to be sure, I tried Nokia Software Recovery Tool, but sure enough, it was not able to detect the phone. The phone seems to be dead meat now, but when I put it on my desk wireless charging stand, the stand's indicator lights up, although the phone does nothing and stays that way.
I just added a 32GB SD card to my Lumia 1520. I'd like to move some of the items that are on my phone (photos, music, files for work, etc.) onto the card.
Also, I've seen threads on here that mention issues with music that has been moved to the cards not being playable. I have enough issues with my phone giving error messages on the music app now without adding another complication.
Yesterday I updated my Lumia 1020 to Lumia Cyan. I've been using WP 8.1.1 with developer preview. Today I left my phone at home, I didn't use it and when I tried to pick it up I actually got scared, it was so extremely hot that I thought it will explode. After few seconds I got warning that battery is low but I know that it was around 70% when iI left it(I've left it only for 1 hour). I turned it off so it could cold before I charge it.
nokia lumia 1020 has just gone dead no response from the phone tried hard and soft reset nothing happens tried plugging in a charger into charger port on the phone and still nothing before it went off the phone had half battery life in it and was expreincing phone freezing up and the phone slowed down and now wont come on at all i have had the battery replaced and still no joy the phone shop tried to flash the software and no connectivity with computer also the phone shop checked my old battery with another lumia 1020 and that worked so the issue wasnt the battery
I've recently bought a Lumia 950XL. After few days of usage it started to behave strangely which led me to think a hard reset was needed but all those problems appear again after a day or two of using the device.
The problem is when I leave the phone for an hour or so, when I press the power button the display doesn't turn on but the iris scanner starts scanning and even unlocks the phone and after 1 or 2 seconds the screen turns on! The problem doesn't end here unfortunately. The brightness of the screen sets to its lowest and changing it doesn't have any effect it at all. The only working temporary fix is to restart the phone which is not really convenient.
There is no voicemail for me to see my voicemails. There is only a link a the bottom that dials vm. Any way to get it back? on my 930 insider win10 I just had to call VM once and then the tab appeared.
After moving an App from SD to Device, replacing SDXC with a larger capacity SDXC, that App name no longer is found on device and when I try to reinstall it I get message that App is already installed. The App Notifications still functions but no longer accessible by its name. To load it for use I must search its name in Store, find it then click OPEN, or click on its notifications.
Re formatted D: SDXC card to no avail. Removed SDXC App still exists on Device and functions but same story cannot be reinstalled or uninstalled.
Casting with the 950? I have a Roku 3 and several smart TVs capable of casting, but how to actually cast from the phone. I'd like to knows how to do it using something like Plex or the YouTube app.
I realize there are many who's been using WP10 and thinks it's good, but it just seems to me Mail, Music, Calendar, I could go on has taken a step backwards. I want the 950, I just want it running 8.1.
came off an app last night and the screen went blank ever since then been unable to turn back on I have had the phone on charge but still nothing I have tried a reboot but still nothing
I used to set up static ip in my previous device L925 in the wifi section when it was running win 10 technical preview. But I am unable to see that feature in my L950. Do i need to install insider preview in my L950 to get static ip. Phone is currently running 10586.29.
I got an att lumia 950. When I'm in the camera app settings, it only lets me select a maximum of 16 mp. Not the 20 I was under the impression of having. Is there something I don't know or understand? Maybe I misread all the spec sheets that state 20 mp?
I am using Nokia Lumia 710 phone and when I am on call and if I want to perform some operations like (this is just an example.) "putting call on HOLD" then phone screen is going off and on .... sometimes I am not even able to perform any options
