Mystery of the sliding Lumia 920: phone develops a mind of its own when lying flat
Share:
Here's another experiment for you: Put an ice cube on top of the Dell. See if it slides off on its own as it starts to melt. It's the same principle.

I think this has something to do with the wireless charger of 920. It may interact with magnetic field of the laptop.

lol no, it was happening due to the low friction between smooth surfaces of Laptop and the phone screen. Small vibration from the spinning HDD of laptop caused it to slide. Check on wpcentral.

Oh my God Lumia 920s are possessed by VooDoo majic. Be careful. Hahahaha.

Of course the most important factor here is the vibration of the laptop caused by the HDD and the fan.

Why would you put ANY phone face down on it's screen? Am I the only one who freaks out if there's even a tiny scratch on the device?

The screen can't easily scratch on the Nokia Lumia 920.

and even though it dropped on the floor the screen wont be harmed

So what? That's the same as most newer phones with Gorilla Glass 2 Screens. Does that mean feel free to throw the device around on it's face?

Failed technology, they produced the phone in a hurry into the market, cause eflop had few months to prove WP8 will succeed™®©

Actually 'troll' it is already succeeding all over the world.

"Moron, they haven't launched the Lumia 920 in China yet."
Exactly.

This is just another AD, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is still the King! LOL!

isn't Nexus 4 and Optimus G users facing the same problem ?
17. Tsepz_GP posted on 10 Dec 2012, 06:24 2 1
Lol, was this really news worthy?
My GS3 does tend to slide due to the smooth back cover so even on surfaces that arent at a steep angle it does tend to slide more so than my S2 did.

hmmm... a phone with a mind of its own, now thats what i call a smartphone!

No, it's jedi Power built into the phone.. Connected to your mind through Qi..

Probably the Microsoft Lumia 920 is so disappointed that Android is 90% of the market in China, the single biggest market in the world, that it want to commit suicide in shame.
Not even all the sales of every SKU combined of Microsoft Lumia can overtake Symbian, S40 and MeeGo.

Are you some butthurt Symbian employee from Nokia who got kicked out?

No. Just a person who collects data and facts, not a fanatic of some cult or anything.

Are you a cult leader of some sort?

Call the Ghost Adventures crew to investigate. Probably the ghost of the late Steve Jobs haunting WP8.

Every single previous comment has at least one little red thumbs down next to it?

what's so special about it: put you phone on a table, make sure is set to vibrate and have someone to call you, voila!

"One thing is for sure - the attention to minute Lumia 920 details seems to be reaching iPhone and Galaxy S line levels"; you mean iphones and galaxies are starting to reach Nokia levels? Nokia has been in the business a lot longer than the other two and has legendary attention to detail and hardware quality.
