Nokia Lumia 920 sensitive screen might be a battery hog the way Windows Phone manages touch

If I go skiing I just leave the phone at home or I turn it down.

Add a password to the lock screen. Problem solved!

and I dont think camera buttons on the phone are not very sensitive

Nokia will have to do something to fix this problem or else that could be a big problem on the part of the consumers when they're using their lumia 920 already

Looks to me like someone is trying REAL HARD to engineer a controversy without ANY evidence and only pure conjecture. I suppose the next article will be on the 920 having an antennae coupling issue when you hold it...or misplacing cities and towns in its global navigation suite. Do you really think the Finns would release something without testing it in real world conditions? Do you think they forgot everything when it came to designing the 920? Go back to drinking your Koolaid.

Are people so dumb even the author, common people. Its a known fact that all Nokia phones dont turn on unless the proximity and light sensor turns on. If the phone is in the pocket or in any bag even by press the on button the screen wont turn on.

Why cant people with nokia lumia or any other phones test it by covering the proximity or even the light sensor and try to turn on the screen, it wont work. It did not work for mine. So i am sure this issue that the author or the other guy who wrote the letter has not researched before posting this.

First we'll wait for Lumia 920 to hit the market. Then we'll try to draw conclusions. Btw, I stll think the Samsung Ativ S will be a better device, both in terms of battery life and quality.

The solution to this issue is, screen must not power on if the proximity sensor detects proximity. Current version of Windows Phone does not take care of this. The big question is: will Windows Phone 8 take care of this?

I have not pressed any button on my Lumia 900 in my pocket once in the past 4 months. This is making something out of nothing. If the button could be hit by mistake in a pocket, that could happen to most phone out there in the market.

Until some reviewers get it in their hands all we can do is speculate. Lets give Nokia the benefit of the doubt, surely they have taken this into account and know what they are doing.

the sensor can save all that issue..when the screen is locked,,the sensor can act as lock too..like if someone was calling,,and when u put ur phone onto ur ear,,the phone automaticlly off the lights so in that scenario, sensor can also be use to act as a lock too.because inside the pocket is a zero visibilty area.the same when we put the phone near our ears to answer calls.. i hope you got my point guys.. its not that big problem anyway.

Hey guys never mind this article. When Nokia announced the Lumia 920 they said that while the phone is in your pocket, the proximity sensor will not let the screen light up. This wil not be an issue, Nokia already thought about that.

All thumbs down from me, cause i don't like the OS and the Phone but love the Nokia 8800 series....

Good discovery, but no one has to teach Nokia, they would have done lots of research before bringing the technology to the market, so it won't be half-baked!

Talk about a crazy standard for Nokia- they are asked to defend against a speculative claim for a unreleased product by someone who has never even held it. Slow news day?

more easier solution although their is not such probem found yet lock the screen if press too long on and static response unlike in games which have motion all over the screen. it will work i know i make solutions like these in my projects :P
