Nokia — Lumia 520 restarts randomly

Address:Karnataka

Your service is NOT good at all, so POOR, WORST ever probably because the technicians working there have no knowledge about software and hardwares.

My Lumia 520(3 months old) has a problem, it restarts randomly once every day. Not sure when but I can tell you that it happens for sure, because whenever it restarts, the sound volume level resets to 15, and always I have to set it to 21. It is so annoying to have such a melon, so I decided to give it to Nokia Care to identify the problem after trying all those steps like resetting to factory settings, checking the battery and all other things like changing the sim card etc.

At Nokia Care, they said that there is no problem with the hardware, so they upgraded the software(OS). But after returning home, I checked the OS version, it was the same as earlier, which is the latest already. Few minutes later, when I was using the phone(One Note), it restarted again.

This time, Nokia Care guys told me that they are going to use the phone for couple of days to observe the behavior, then only they can send it for repairing if they find any issue. I got pissed off, asked them whether they are going to look at the screen constantly all the time. They said that is the only way to find if restart happens automatically. However, I could not let them use the phone for such dumb testing. Probably because you don't have any software or hardware tools to find out such fault! That is hilarious. I just wanted a replacement for that it you couldn't find the issue rather then doing random tests on that.

Okay I am now going to live with this until I buy a new phone, won't be obviously Nokia. Till then I will suggest each and every person I meet not to buy such craps(services are poor too) to end up in such a situation. I am going to post it everywhere, whenever I find time to do so.

All I need is a replacement. Again, it will be your decision whether you want to replace it or not, but one thing is sure, I will make sure that people know about it how pathetic your service is. It's again because, the technicians couldn't identify the problem, now they want to use the phone for couple pf days until they see a restart, and when they see it, probably they would send it for repairing. As per them, this proces might take 10 to 15 days. If they don't feel any problem, they would return the device without sending it for repairing. My question is, do you perform such DUMB testing on a SMART phone? What if that guy is sleeping when the phone restarts? lol. Don't you have any software or hardware to identify the fault? If no, tell me how your guys at factory going to solve the problem?

Whatever it is, I need this device to be replaced ASAP, because it's just 4 months(actually less when this problem started a month back) old.

Afterall, it is all about the ethics a company can have in their business. People will know about it how ethical your business is, if you talk nonsense in such cases.

Nokia — Phone restarts again and again

Dear Sir/Mam,

I am Prateek Jain from Bhopal. I have purchased a Nokia handset 7230 on 21-Aug-2010 having ESN/IMEI No. [protected]. After 2 or 3 months it restarts whenever its themes are changed.
I gave the handset to the authorized service center at SAMEER CARE, E-5/3, Opp. Habibganj Police Station, Bittan Market Arera Colony, Bhopal-462016, Ph:[protected]. I was following up with the customer care about my handset from 16/11/2010. Whenever I go there, a new version of Software is uploaded. But the problem remains the same. Later on the handset was replaced from Delhi, but with a new problem. The new handset begins to hang anytime. Once again it was sent and a new handset is provided to me having ESN/IMEI No. [protected] on 25-Jun-2011 with Job Sheet No:[protected]/110622/5.
Restarting problem of my handset has not been solved yet. Instead of being solving my problem same reaction is given each and every time from last 7 months. Please help me.

I request You to take action as soon as possible. I'll be thankful to You.

Regards,
Prateek Jain.

Locating a Nokia Care Centre (NCC) is very Easy !
SMS “NCC<space><City Name>” & send it to 55555, within few seconds you will receive the list of NCCs in that city.
I got my device back on the same day I submitted to Nokia care, CMH Road, Bangalore.
However, I don't have any Job Sheet number given. I am sending you more details in mail.

I hope you are willing to resolve the issue.
Till now, this issue is not resolved, I hope people should be aware of the fact what happens if they go for a Nokia Device. They should know the risk of the PAIN they could get.
Nokia Lumina520 with Microsoft software updated to 8.1.
Symptoms: Phone locks up and wont turn on until connected via a usb cable to a computer or charge point. or remove and replace battery and power on or connect to charger or press start button then wait 15 seconds and then press start button again. Battery discharging very fast sometimes.
Date time gets messed up.
Alarm un-reliable, sometimes works, sometimes does not.
Phone battery area getting very hot sometimes. Hot battery - obviously overheating.
I first noticed the issue immediately after updating to Microsoft Nokia Lumina 520 software revision 8.0. Internet forum cases mentioned that there were similar issues caused by the new Microsoft 8.0. Eventually Microsoft released a new rel 8.1 and an app to address the issues. This sent me on the wrong track and I presumed the problem was software related. I tried many possible solutions to hopefully get by until the software got better. I ran the Microsoft software fixer app provided by Microsoft/Nokia. Shortly after that I updated the software to their latest revision 8.1. Used electronic contact cleaner to clean the battery contacts. Tried using some backing behind the battery and also slightly bending contacts as forums mentioned bad battery contact after time in use. This due to age and mechanical vibration etc . Tried cleaning the battery contacts. Did several soft resets on the phone, which were possible in software 8.0 but seems the same technique does not work for 8.1. None solved. My service provider internet support technician was a token force.They advised to go to their local O2 / 3 phone shop. There I was told to send the phone back to their repair centre. They would wipe it completely back to factory settings and I might not even get same phone back again if they could not solve it. Naturally I did not do what I would consider a stupid move. They said that many smart phone makers products were giving all sorts of problems. For the Lumina 520 the shop person said they were not aware of the symptoms I described. Then I explained there were many same complaints on the internet forums for the main companies involved ie Microsoft, Nokia and the service provider. The shop person said they were not aware about this .
Solution:
To my surprise replacing the battery with a new low cost one from e-bay solved all the issues and immediately. Now the phone works correctly again. Now the battery lasts like new.

Comment: I am an experienced electronics eng. This is why I did not hand my phone to the service centre, why I tried so many possible solutions before eventually finding one that solved. Hope this helps you ... Gerry (Ireland)
