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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

[email protected]

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?

[email protected]

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?

[email protected]

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.

[email protected]

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.

[email protected]

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?

[email protected]

nothing at all. There are no incidents to be reported.

[email protected]

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.

[email protected]

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.

[email protected]

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.

[email protected]

Alright. I understand Nokia does not make the glass, so I have also contacted corning regarding this issue.

Robbie

I see, may I know what information they have provided you?

[email protected]

Nothing yet, I just emailed them.

[email protected]

If they do send me any information, should I forward it to you?

Robbie

Okay let us know what information they have provided you. For the mean time your best option is to have a replacement from your point of purchase.

Robbie

Yes, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Robbie

I will be providing you a reference number of this chat conversation.

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.

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.

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
