Lingering issues with the Nokia Lumia 900: Purple screens, dead buttons & rattles

WP Central

The Nokia Lumia 900 seems to be doing well for AT&T and for some reason we can't leave our glossy-white one out of attain for long only in that location are still plenty of bugs and bug rolling in to our inbox at WPCentral. Although that data-bug is now history thanks to a quick response from Nokia these few, seemingly random problems are plaguing numerous Lumia 900 users. We'll get over a few:

Majestic screen - Grays appear with a purple hue when the display brightness is set up to low (or automatic and goes to depression). Although it could exist a software calibration issue information technology doesn't affect all Lumia 900s, in fact it's just a subset that are out there. Our ain glossy-white Lumia 900 has this and it'due south quite obvious when on the low-setting. You tin commiserate with others in our forum who are having this trouble. Nokia seems to be trying to isolate which builds it may be and you can submit your device information in this Nokia assist thread.
Camera push won't wake the phone - This event is caused when the device is powered off/standby and you hold the camera button to launch into the photographic camera app. Information technology's really easy to replicate: Run any app and get out it on screen and so ability off the telephone. Now try to hold-northward-launch the camera via the shutter push button. Information technology won't work. Turn the device dorsum on, get out the app, go to stand by and now try information technology and it volition launch. We've had it happen even without an app running nether lockscreen. (Thanks, Sepatown for the replication trick)
Vibrate characteristic rattles - We complained about this in our 900 review and even have a video of it compared to the Lumia 800. In short, the vibration feature rattles to unlike degrees on many Lumia 900s often sounding like an electric razor. Once again, the trouble is on some phones while not on others. Yous tin can follow the threads here at WPCentral and Nokia Support for more info.
Inline remote on headset issue - The Nokia Monster Purity headphones sometimes won't forward/intermission a track. Too, book rockers when the device is a slumber won't reply and/or require multiple pushes
Low volume is high - Even on "ane" the book is quite loud and doesn't outset to vary till "7".

Nokia sure has a lot on their plate and we know they are actively looking to address these merely the question is how much of this is firmware and how much is information technology Quality Control (QC) with the hardware? Nosotros should caution that not all Lumia 900 users are having problems simply even Rafael and I both have Lumia 900's with "purple grays" and my vibration rattles a bit likewise.

We'll be paying attending but for at present, you may want to read upward in our "Official Lumia 900 Bugs List" to see what others are maxim.

Update: Take our poll to see if others are having the same problems or non
