[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
For me, its a different lag. My screen occasionally gets jumpy. Not bad, but noticable. My Samsung Focus had that when new, but after a couple updates, it became very smooth. I'm hoping the same will happen w the Lumia.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Oh, the jumpy'ness. I had that, but it went away after the first couple weeks. Not sure what was going on, but haven't seen it in forever...

That really pisses me off about the $100.00... My corporate rep is the one that told me that I wasn't eligible for it since I was an existing customer. Wouldn't be the first time they lied to me.

I could write a book on the issues my company has had with Rogers... Not going in to that today though, need to keep the blood pressure down :)
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
It's not currently happening, so hopefully it's gone, but a major reboot, like done after an update can make things smooth for a while without actually fixing anything, so will wait and see if it comes back.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Batt322:
everything is purple

I have the same issue, white's now have a purple hue, i didn't have before.
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
So, you had a normal white screen, but NOW it has the purple hue? I was worried about that happening with mine since I didn't have any color issues, but my whites are still white.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Laquox:
Updated mine today and I am noticing a bit of a slight hue difference on whites as one other person posted but it's barely noticeable. I did notice this update fixes the "responsiveness" of the back button I was dealing with for a while. Although on the other hand it seems the issue has jumped from the back button to the search button now.

(Still doesn't fix the camera button under lock problem that happens from time to time.)
[Nokia Lumia 900] Batt322:
Restored it

Yes, I had no issues with purple hue, or proximity sensor. It worked fine; the only issue was "Slacker Radio" causing the phone to freeze. I restored it back to the previous software, the purple is gone.
[Nokia Lumia 900] kwill:
Funny enough, now my whites and grays seem to have a very small amount of purple tint to them (not as much as the original issue):confused: Maybe I'm just tripping, but I had no color hues since the exchange of the device. And I've stared at the screen enough when I had the problem and after I changed out the device to notice the smallest change:D
[Nokia Lumia 900] charlyee:
I was worried about that but after the update by whites appear to be whiter. Too early to notice any other changes.

Whoever at Rogers told you the $100 credit was for new customers only was lying. Almost all of us over at the Rogers forum have gottent the credit -- as long as we bought the phone before April 21st (I think it was).

I myself got it as an 'upgrade' on my son's account.

As far as the update is concerned, we may yet see it here in Canada -- don't lose hope. It's just that Nokia decided to send it out to the AT&T users (louder and more of them) first. If nothing else, we'll probably see it bundled with the Tango release due out very shortly. In fact, I remember reading over at WPUser that someone who sent in a Lumia710 for repair got a replacement back wtih Tango already loaded.
[Nokia Lumia 900] shoey5:
Any changes to the Diagnostic app?
[Nokia Lumia 900] riffraffer:
Just re-booted my phone for kicks. Seemed to boot at least twice as fast....
[Nokia Lumia 900] aquanaut88:
Good Patch

- on auto-brightness, purple hue gone (low lighting);

- scrolling is smoother

Nokia is a class act.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
So did they finally turn off de-celeration on scrolling? That was another huge pet-peeve of mine...
[Nokia Lumia 900] boxcar8028:
The purple screen is fix. Not so sure about the lag. My lumia is smooth with no lag issues.
[Nokia Lumia 900] chrisz5z:
The update fixed my purple hue. The scrolling isn't smoother but the deceleration is definitely changed. Seems the rate at which it decelerates is smaller, which gives the illusion of it being smoother because it takes longer to stop. What i would like to see is a change in the physics of the scrolling that allow you to scroll faster

So far i'm impressed with Nokia. They said they knew how to fix it and it got released in a timely manner :)
[Nokia Lumia 900] Nissan350:
I never had any of the issues that this update "addressed" but I installed it in hopes that it would address the touchscreen responsiveness issue that every Lumia 900 suffers from.

The responsiveness did not improve whatsoever and the deceleration of the scrolling seems to be the same for me.

My HD7 and Focus S both dominate my 900 when it comes to scrolling speed and touchscreen responsiveness. Not sure why Nokia is not able to see the very apparent lag between your finger and the screen. The 800 has absolutely no lag at all. They are "fixing" all these issues but it seems they are dodging the responsiveness issue which really takes away from the awesome experience that Windows Phone offers.

Guess I'm going back to my Focus S again at least until the next update.
[Nokia Lumia 900] RsSharKy:
everyone all talk about purple hue at low light

i actually have it opposite

mine will always have a purple circle in the middle of the screen under bright sun light

i hope this update will fix it
[Nokia Lumia 900] awagner:
better responce on the buttons... no more jacked up back button... no purple hue jumping out at me.
[Nokia Lumia 900] ragingclue:
Yeah the purple is gone and although I can't tell exactly what they've done to make the scrolling better, it is better. Like others have said, looks like they turned down the decel a bit.

Also, I could reliably recreate jumpy scrolling conditions in the WPCentral app. I no longer seem to have this issue. It happened in other apps as well, but that one is the one where I could most reliably realize the issue, so I used it to test to see if it was gone. There is still very slight jumpiness on rare occasion, but I would consider it as good as gone. Now I've only been playing with it for a couple hours, but I haven't had the jumpiness issue to speak of since the update. At times, before the update, it was so bad that it would actually result in me entirely losing my place in whatever I was scrolling through to the extent that I would have to re-orient myself entirely. I don't know if others experienced that, but it was ridiculously annoying. Seems to be gone now though.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Well, here's an update:

Rogers said the other day they have nothing to do with the update, and it's all in Nokia's ballpark...

Nokia said shortly after they don't know when it'll be released for Roger's in Canada.

Today I read that the President of Nokia America's said that the update was provided to all carriers, and that it's up to Rogers to approve it and push it out...

So does Rogers just have no idea what's going on in their network or what?
[Nokia Lumia 900] patrick_dube:
Parhaps somebody can catch the cab file while transferring and upload it where other users may update their phone with the Cab Sender tool?
[Nokia Lumia 900] jacklivehere:
I didnt have purple issue earlier.

but now when i use camera application with front camera, purple is really bad.

thinking of restoring old backup, any of u have this issue?

and also the DATA Tweak to allow 4G/3G/Edge speeds gone, but after entering diagnostic code it came back .
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
I'm with you....I am seeing more smoothness...

I do, however, see a purple hue in the front facing camera and mentioned by some....that was not there before. Since I really use the front facing camera...well....checking that problem was the 2nd time :p, I don't put too much worry in it....but I can confirm it.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Seed 2.0:
Sound levels fixed. Level 1 is what it should be, almost off. ;)
[Nokia Lumia 900] sitizenx:
I have a phone that never had the purple tint issue on low brightness but it always had the front camera purple tint issue under certain types of lighting. I'm not sure what causes it.

I haven't done the update yet.

Capacitive backlight still 5 seconds !

And yet Nokia didn't extend the backlight timeout for the capacitive backlight... No, please don't tell me to get used to it because I prefer to be able to see (if "it" is a woman then I don't mind groping around in the dark trying to figure out what's what :D)

My Cyan Lumia 900 is so gonna appear on craigslist.
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
Notifications off after Update:

All of my email notifications are now off, time wise. I just recieved a notification, 12 yrs early, several in fact.

And, I recieved some chat windows, 4 hrs after they were sent. I would normally just Hard reset after an update, but until Reinstaller is fixed, I'll have to wait....

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

So, because the default back light for the buttons is around 5 seconds...you're selling your phone??? hmmmm....
[Nokia Lumia 900] jacklivehere:
i never had purple issue earlier or with front facing camera

after update purple issue there and front facing camera freezes.

now trying to restore old backup.. hopefully it works
[Nokia Lumia 900] ragingclue:
Heh just be glad when they turn the backlight off, they don't stop functioning forever. That's what happened to my first one. Just outside the 30 days, capacitive buttons died altogether. Fortunately, the store where I got mine was cool and I got a new replacement.

On the front facing camera purple issue, I might test that out tonight, but it sounds like I should be glad I never use the thing.
[Nokia Lumia 900] ragingclue:
Hmm interesting. My uCell is no longer draining at 400mA as opposed to 100 with data off. I wonder if it was a uCell update or this update. With all the different phones which had battery issues with it, I'd have to assume it was a uCell update...?

Haha never mind. It dropped to 100 for like 2 mins and then settled around 360. And stayed there.
[Nokia Lumia 900] scaphil:
Funny, I never lost that tweak when I updated my phone.

I use to have the issue mentioned somewhere else in the forum of not being able to have cellular data and wifi on at the same time without causing issues with wifi. After the update, that problem went away. I can now leave cellular data on and use wifi.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Ugh, still waiting for this update in Canada :(
[Nokia Lumia 900] madhusurapaneni:
There seems to be battery problem going on after the update.

Quoting rdef from WPCentral forums:

1-The battery % reading now goes from 100% to 90%. It does not show any percentages in between. (this was verified by a few other members and me).

2-usage is greater, even with screen off/idle--no background processes. I was burning 11-12% overnight. Now it is over 20%. Battery life with screen on, etc. is also worse for me, for sure. (still needs to be verified)

This is what I noticed apart from the above two:

3-when the battery is charged 100% in the morning, i usually see it going down a couple percentages and charging up to 100 again. I did not see that the last two mornings after the update. I stayed at 100%.

Can everyone here please check if this is happening with your phones as well so we can report it as a bug.

Thanks everyone.
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
Mine does this also. The diagnosis app shows the correct percentage, but the Battery Saver window does not (goes from 100 to 90). It does not really bother me on the top end, if it were the bottom end, it would be an issue. Although, they should be made aware and add it to their list of things to address.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Just an update:

Back in the day, people could force the Mango update on WP7 phones using the "cell off, wifi off, disconnection after 3 second trick"...

Just tried it on the Nokia to see if I could get an update... No cigar :( hahah
[Nokia Lumia 900] kwill:
Looks like I'm noticing concerns with my data now, that were concerns people posted about before the update. If I'm on wifi and then it has to switch to data, I had to reboot for any data throughput. And vice versa happened when I came home and my phone auto reconnected back to wifi. No actual throughput and I had to reboot or toggle wifi off and on.
[Nokia Lumia 900] hx4700 Killer:
Im looking at my battery in the diagnostic app right now and it shows 99%!?
[Nokia Lumia 900] madhusurapaneni:
Please check the battery saver screen for the battery issue after the update. The diagnostics screen seems to be fine.
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
Diagnosis shows it correctly, but Battery Saver does not.
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
I show 87% in Diagnostic and Battery Saver...working correctly here.
[Nokia Lumia 900] madhusurapaneni:
The problem is only between 100 and 90%. Once it goes below 90%, it is all fine.

How about other issues guys.. anyone noticing other issues..regarding battery life, drain etc.
[Nokia Lumia 900] hx4700 Killer:
Right now my battery saver screen says 93% plugged in

and

94% unplugged....

ok well after I plugged it in and backed out and went back in to battery saver it says 94% now.

I supposed I could post a pic if I used forward cam in a mirror :D
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
That's strange. Maybe it only happens when it's discharging from 100% down. Maybe when you head back up, it works properly.
[Nokia Lumia 900] hx4700 Killer:
Im wondering the same thing.. a bit ago it was at 100% charged and I tried to see what it was while it drained and I used it for a minute... still 100%. I thought, maybe not long enough and I fiddled a bit longer still 100%. I played a game for 20 minutes and not thinking I plugged it in and then unplugged it and looked and it said 96%
[Nokia Lumia 900] yaiba60:
Y'all try and top this !
[Nokia Lumia 900] hx4700 Killer:
ROFL... 520 days since last charge?!?!
[Nokia Lumia 900] awagner:
Had some issues on a trip I just took

1. Phone would reboot when the headphone pluck was removed from the jack the first day after I did the update. This happened twice and it totally locked up once. Has not happened since.

2. I saw some purple ghosting of the text when replying to emails.
[Nokia Lumia 900] sitizenx:
Top what? A guy using a flash on a self illuminating GLASS screen?

Here's how you take a picture of a phone screen... and maintain any kind of credibility.
[Nokia Lumia 900] FiyaFleye:
I think he was referring to the 520 days... I don't see anything wrong with his credibility
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Has anyone heard anything as to when Canada is getting the purple screen fix?
[Nokia Lumia 900] helio2k:
Rogers is more preoccupied with the lunch of the Samsung Galaxy SIII and not with our little miserable pink screen issue or the lag and battery life. Ach the have our money that way counts for them. The only issue for me is the pink screen no lag for me and the battery is quit impressive the phone lasts me for 24h easly with moderated to heavy use on mid brightens setting, better then my old Samsung Galaxy SII LTE.

Just having got the Lumia I was about to return it over the Back button issue and the search button issue then found an update available. Since the update I do not notice better recognition on my search button, maybe my screen protector is causing issue?

Do any of your Lumia's vibrtators sound cheap and out of line with your previous phone such as a Focus?

Also, in the long run have you felt that the bit larger size and square edges are an annoyance when in hand and in the pocket?
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
I currently own BOTH the Lumia and The Original Focus. I will say, the Vibrator sounds cheaper, but over time, it does not bother me any more. Also, the size and shape I was not fond of at first, compared to the Focus, but now, I really like it. It's still nice to hold the Focus, as it was a really nicely designed phone, but I cannot see going back now. You get used to the new feel and it just feels right after a while. The screen size update is very welcomed after a while. In the pocket, the size and shape is a non-issue.

The only complaint I have is that it's sometimes hard to type using one hand due to the larger size. The Focus was simple.
[Nokia Lumia 900] boxcar8028:
This is my second Lumia, the first one had buttons that would rattle when the phone vibrated making it sound really cheap. My new Lumia, is much better no more rattling much more solid feel. But I do wish the vibration was a bit more powerful, sometimes I can barely feel it in my pocket. Im okay with the size and the shape of the Lumia 900 but its hard to know the orientation just by feel. I love the look of the Lumia (cyan) people would stop me and ask what kind of phone is it :D:D:D
[Nokia Lumia 900] Thresher:
Thanks for your input. I am going to hang onto it for a few days and see if these issues become non issues. That Focus is an excellent device for sure.

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 AM ----------

I do think the buttons are the vibrating issue, thanks! Now I have to figure out if it is worth the effort or time to exchange and possibly have the same sound as SuperSport mentioned.

What do you gents think, you think any Windows 8 phones will come out in the next few months that would make me regret hanging onto the 900 or more that the newer phones won't be offering much more than a 900 with a Win8 rom or factory upgrade?
[Nokia Lumia 900] hx4700 Killer:
Most everyone agrees the noise is from the camera when vibrating. If you switch from photo to video mode and back you will hear a very familiar click.
[Nokia Lumia 900] FiyaFleye:
Vibrating isn't normal. I went through six lumias and got a perfect one.

As far as the size... Why would you buy a 4.3" phone & expect it to not feel big?

Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
[Nokia Lumia 900] Thresher:
I know what you are saying Fiya, it's on me. I guess the jump from 120grams to 160 grams is 40 more grams than I could appreciate until it was in the pocket.

The square corners sorta make pocket bulge a more notable occurance though. Also feels like it is harder to pull the phone in and out of pockets with those corners and a rubber case. Gotta find something more like a smooth gel case.

FWIW, the Titan II at 4.7 inches is light than the Lumia so it's not always smaller screen = less weight.
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
Called Rogers today to ask about the update and as usual, they said they do not know anything and it's up to Nokia.

So I called Nokia Canada and I asked and they said they are working on the update but there is not definite release date.

I urged them to get it fix because it's really not acceptable for a flagship phone to show such anomalies.

The hoping/waiting game continues!
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Thanks for checking in to that, and posting the deets as well... I think it's nuts they haven't done anything yet...

I'm still waiting for the fix from MS to fix the issue with attachment downloading from Exchange too :(
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
Yeah it's very frustrating to sit and wait. Back in the E71 days, I used to debrand right away and get the updates from Navifirm as soon as they popped up.

Now I am more anxious since we still need the Tango and then the 7.8 update.

They better hustle!!!
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Here's an update:

On Roger's forums, someone asked when Canadians will be reciving the purple screen fix that AT&T customers received...

Original Link:

http://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/forums/forumtopicpage/board-id/WindowsPhone/thread-id/879/page/1

On Page 2, "RogersNicolas" responded to the question of when will Rogers provide a purple screen fix and said:

Looks like we won't get it for a while (end of July)... I'm guessing we wont see Tango or 7.8 until way way way after that too...

Big fail rogers!
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
July? No that's too close they should keep it until Christmas as a gift and then deliver 7.8 when wp10 is out.

I think they are lying because MS and Nokia already worked the update out for AT&T. The rest is up the carriers.

So here's another WTF...

I just did a Twitter search for "Lumia 900 rogers", and say that a bunch of people have tweeted Rogers Support asking when the purple fix will be released. Rogers keeps on saying they are waiting for the update from Microsoft...

After talking to Nokia support on the phone today to ask them about the firmware update, I was asked to send an email.

So I did and I waiting on an answer.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Any word on the email?
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
Just got off the phone with a service recovery person called Joyce from Nokia.

She said they are aware that Canadian customers are still suffering from the purple hue issue, but she does not know when they will be releasing the firmware. She did not sound knowledgeable in this topic since she is obviously not a software developer. She kept telling me to send the phone for repair and I told her that people sent it in already and it can't be fixed since it's a firmware issue and not a hardware issue.

I mentioned how at&t customers got the update a month ago, and we're still left in the dark and she repeated the same lines over and over again.

To be honest, she couldn't care less and I felt I was talking to a wall.

Very disappointed to say the least. Shame they're doing this while they should be going above and beyond to attract more users to their economically-suffering company!
