Invizibleyez Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I have had my Lumia 920 for almost a week now, and I love it, but 2 things are scaring me. The screen seems to scratch really easy on mine, so I guess a screen protector will be needed which I never needed on my LG Quantum. The phone also gets very hot and burns through battery quickly while I am at work. I hope the battery thing gets fixed with an update, however I guess the screen scratching thing I will just have to deal with.

Muhammad Farrukh Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 You are scratching Gorilla Glass 2? You sure you are using it with your hands? :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1119980-problems-with-lumia-920/#findComment-595325104 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invizibleyez Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Its scratching while in my pocket. My cheap old LG Quantum survived the same pocket for a year and a half and only got 1 little scratch. This phone has way more scratches on the screen already. Same pockets with nothing special in them. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1119980-problems-with-lumia-920/#findComment-595325124 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudtrooper Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 No scratches here.. The heat can be a problem.. try disabling NFC radio and also turn off any apps in background that you don't use. I do expect we will see some updates to address battery/heat. What else do you keep in your pocket with your phone?

Draconian Guppy Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Edward scissor hands. Can you return it? Gorilla glass shouldn't scratch easily, as a test, try doing so with a coin yourself (gorilla glass is harder than the coin, so it shouldn't scratch) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1119980-problems-with-lumia-920/#findComment-595325138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bguy_1986 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Its scratching while in my pocket. My cheap old LG Quantum survived the same pocket for a year and a half and only got 1 little scratch. This phone has way more scratches on the screen already. Same pockets with nothing special in them. I keep mine in my pocket and I don't have a scratch on it. Not sure how you are getting scratches on yours.... I do have the battery problem, but if I feel it getting warm, I reboot it and it seems to fix it. Some have said if you turn NFC off, that will fix the issue.

Invizibleyez Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 NFC is off and all I have in my pocket is a soft plastic I'd holder and maybe a couple sheets of neatly folded paper. Nothing that should cause scratches. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1119980-problems-with-lumia-920/#findComment-595325266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 From what this video shows, scratching shouldn't be very easy with this phone. Can you take a picture, OP?

daniel_rh Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 The simpliest thing that can scratch a Gorilla Glass is dust, make sure your pocket is clean enough... Keys no problem, knife no problem... dust, can be a problem Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1119980-problems-with-lumia-920/#findComment-595325322 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invizibleyez Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 I saw the video you posted on WPCentral the other day. Didn't really make me feel better, since my phone hasn't taken anywhere near that kind of abuse, yet has scratches. I'm trying to find a great technique for taking pictures of scratches on a highly reflective surface. It's not as easy as I thought it would be.

Invizibleyez Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Yes I am sure I bought a Nokia Lumia 920 in white from AT&T The dust argument would make sense if I didn't have a different phone in the same pockets for a year and a half with gorilla glass that didn't get scratched the same way.

Invizibleyez Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Technically, I would expect scratches on my screen if I went jogging with my phone in a box of thumbtacks and sandpaper, but, not in my pockets. I'm thinking this may be a flaw in the glass possibly related to the heating up/battery issue. I am trying to find out if gorilla glass 2 scratches easily when it is hot/warm.

Invizibleyez Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 I contacted Nokia about this. So far, they seem to be less than concerned. If anyone wants to read my conversation with them, here it is. I edited the conversation a little for privacy reasons. Robbie: Hi, my name is Robbie. Thank you for contacting Nokia Care Chat. How may I help you? invizibleyez@aol.com Who should I contact regarding issues with my Nokia Lumia 920 display scratching very easily? Robbie I am sorry to hear that. Let me see what I can do to assists you with your concern. Before we proceed, may I know your full name please? invizibleyez@aol.com Willy Wonka Robbie Thank you for the information Willy. May I know what exactly happen to the phone while the screen display have a scratch? invizibleyez@aol.com I was carrying my phone in my pocket as I always have done at work. There is no case or screen protector, and there were no sharp objects or hard objects at all in my pocket. Robbie I see, I would like to inform you that the Nokia Lumia 920 corning gorilla glass is a scratch resistant glass. Robbie Not fully scratch proof and it may have a scratch. invizibleyez@aol.com I do know this. it's actually Gorilla Glass 2, which is scratch resistant. I have subjected it to the same environments that my older phone was subjected to, which has Gorilla Glass 1. That phone never had an issue with getting scratched in the same environments and conditions. Robbie Thank you for the information. However it depends on the usage of the phone if it will have a scratch on it. invizibleyez@aol.com I would expect some superficial small scratches as it is a very high gloss finish, and also protrudes from the phone slightly on the front, however, my biggest concern happened yesterday while at work, with nothing at all in my pocket, I noticed a sudden deep scratch, seemingly from nowhere. I can actually feel it if I run my fingernail gently over the surface. Robbie I see, while your phone is on your pocket did you bump yourself to any hard edges? invizibleyez@aol.com nothing at all. There are no incidents to be reported. invizibleyez@aol.com I am certain this is an problem possibly with a batch of the Nokia Lumia 920, as 2 of the forums I frequent have users reporting the exact same problems. Robbie I would like to inform you that we do not have any information regarding to forums or other third party websites. invizibleyez@aol.com That's ok, I was just letting you know what I have come across. Robbie Thank you for understanding. Since it is a hardware issue and we do not have any procedures can be done on the phone. Robbie Your best option is to contact your point of purchase for a replacement. invizibleyez@aol.com Are there any kind of batch codes or anything I can try to track to see if this is related to all Lumia 920s or just a specific batch? Robbie There are not specific batch code for the Nokia Lumia 920 phone that are release. invizibleyez@aol.com Alright. I understand Nokia does not make the glass, so I have also contacted corning regarding this issue.

I hope the battery thing gets fixed with an update, however I guess the screen scratching thing I will just have to deal with. Rule #1 when buying a new phone: 1. Put a screen protector as soon as possible (preferably at the store). That is the very first thing I did on my Galaxy Note 2. I put a military grade screen protector and got a hard cover for it. Those things are expensive man and you need to protect those suckers.

majortom1981 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Make sure you turn off Nokia drive in the background. You can prevent this in the settings. Its known to cause battery problems Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1119980-problems-with-lumia-920/#findComment-595359036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BajiRav Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 If you bought from an at&t store, go back and ask for a swap. It might be a just a lemon.

frett Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Thank you for posting this, OP. And thank you for posting your conversation with the Nokia rep. I kept laughing out loud when the rep called you Willy. I wonder how the conversation would have gone if you really HAD given them your name as Willy Wonka. :) Anyway, I agree that your situation seems pretty unusual. And from the photo, it seems REALLY unlikely that that scratch on the right came from dust in your pocket. It just doesn't have the right "look" to it. I agree with BajiRav. but do not return it for the scratching reason. Don't even mention it. Simply tell them it's overheating and exchange it.

floopydoodle Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I always wash my pants with the pockets inside out just to get rid off sand or something else that might scratch my phone. A screen protector on a lumia 920 would look ridiculous, and it probably wouldn't stick to the edges of the curved glass.
