Nokia Lumia 535

Microsoft is still working on a fix for Lumia 535 touchscreen issue (http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-is-still-working-on-a-fix-for-lumia-535-touchscreen-issue)

We reported a few months ago that Microsoft was working on a fix for the known touch sensitivity issue (http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-working-on-a-fix-for-the-lumia-535-touch-sensitivity-issue) present on the Lumia 535 (http://www.neowin.net/news/tags/lumia_535). This update was then eventually released in select markets (http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-rolling-out-fix-for-lumia-535-touchscreen-issues). However, it seems that for some the problem did not go away as intended.
According to a post on an Italian Microsoft Mobile forum (http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Lumia/TouchScreen-Lumia-535/td-p/3021300/page/12), the company is still trying to fix the persistent touchscreen sensitivity bug affecting the Microsoft-branded smartphone. A PR representative went on to describe the steps taken by the company to address it:

"We are sorry that some of you have been inconvenienced by this situation. We've identified some models of Lumia 535 are presenting different anomalies on the touchscreen performance.
"An OTA (over the air) software update has been deployed in 23rd of December 2014, solving most of the problems but certainly not for all customers."
"Our Technical Support Operations team here in Finland, as well as the engineering teams in the US and China have the matter under investigation marked as urgent priority, in the meantime please use the troubleshooting offered by my colleagues in this thread."
"When our colleagues in the engineering team have identified the cause of the conflict, we will provide further information, whether this is another software update or an action performed on hardware at an authorised Care Point, (at this time Care Points have not received updated info regarding this topic, thus is useless to visit them)"
The letter also disclosed that Microsoft is closely looking into resolving the issue soon:

"We assure you that Microsoft does take matters like this very seriously and our teams are working frantically to resolve this concern for our customers. For the time being, we can only recommend that you use the troubleshooting provided whilst we work to ensure that the situation is properly solved, and that you accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused."
For a refresher, the Lumia 535's specifications are as follows:


5" qHD (960 x 540) IPS LCD display
Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor
1GB RAM
8GB internal storage (MicroSD card expandable)
5-megapixel rear camera with flash
5-megapixel wide angle front camera
Windows Phone 8.1 with Lumia Denim
Dual Sim capable

An ETA regarding the arrival of the fix has not been announced. However, while the fix is being developed, Microsoft has published an FAQ page on the Microsoft Mobile website offering suggestions for Lumia 535 owners who are currently experiencing touchscreen problems. The webpage can be viewed here. (http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/mobile/support/faq/?action=singleTopic&topic=FA144183)

Microsoft Lumia 535 Review: The selfie-oriented budget smartphone done right


(http://www.reddit.com/submit?url=http://www.winbeta.org/news/microsoft-lumia-535-review-selfie-oriented-budget-smartphone-done-right&title=Microsoft%20Lumia%20535%20Review:%20The%20se lfie-oriented%20budget%20smartphone%20done%20right) <section id="main" class="clearfix"> <section id="block-system-main" class="block block-system"> <article id="node-13532" class="node node-review clearfix">http://www.winbeta.org/sites/default/files/styles/watermark/public/20150116_133033.jpg?itok=GD32s3Fh
In the past, Nokia’s then CEO Stephen Elop talked about the top-to-bottom approach to releasing smartphones in its Lumia lineup. Nokia would start a new generation of devices by first unveiling a flagship packed with all the latest technology that the company has to offer, and as they progress towards the mid-range and lower-end more and more features are removed. Some key features stay to make these budget devices stand out from the crowd like Super Sensitive Touch for example.
Since Microsoft’s acquisition of Nokia’s Devices & Services business we are yet to see that cycle restart under a new brand, instead we’re seeing new budget devices getting released. The Lumia 535 which we are having a look at here is the first Lumia smartphone to carry Microsoft’s brand, followed by the recently announced Lumia 532 and 435, with higher-end devices like the Lumia 1330 expected to show up any time now, it seems the cycle has been reversed.
We can speculate all day as to why Microsoft might have turned the gears here, but we’re guessing the reason lies in the numbers. Windows Phone has as of late been faring a lot better on lower-end devices than on the high-end ones, so what’s so special about these entry-level devices? Let’s find out.

At first glance, the Lumia 535 carries the same design you’d find on other Lumia devices of its generation, in other words, it’s minimal. It comes in matte white, black, grey, and cyan, and glossy orange or green. Our white model here was selected purely because it was the only other color available besides black. While the store clerk sifted through the dozens of Lumia 535 boxes in storage to check for the available colors she told me that the orange, green and cyan ones didn’t sit on the shelf for more than a day or two, and that people would rather wait for new stock to come in than to pick up a white or black one.

Everything is where you’d expect it to be on this device. On the front is the 5” display and the 5MP front shooter, more on these later. The right side is where the volume rocker and power button live, no dedicated camera button unfortunately. There’s a headphone jack at the top and the MicroUSB port at the bottom, the left side is clean. Towards the back is another 5MP camera, LED flash and a loudspeaker.

At 8.8mm thin the device is only out-slimmed by the Lumia 830 (http://www.winbeta.org/news/nokia-lumia-830-review-flagship-device-without-hefty-price) in this generation. It is pleasant to hold and has smooth rounded corners that don’t dig sharply into the palm of your hands (looking at you 1520!). Speaking of comfort, its 5” screen size is perfect for one handed use, and the Word Flow keyboard makes it that much easier to type one-handed.

Microsoft Lumia 535 put to the test, with Lumia Denim software

Review: Microsoft branded Lumia

On paper, the Lumia 535 looks like a very good deal, and it would be – had we not run into a number of serious input issues that were not successfully addressed by the latest software update. http://www.fudzilla.com/images/stories/2015/Reviews/Mobile/Microsoft_Phones/Lumia_535/1-Lumia-535-colors.jpg
The Lumia 535 was the first Microsoft branded phone introduced after the software giant bought Nokia’s mobile business. The phone proudly displays a Microsoft logo on both sides of the device, but aside from new branding, Microsoft did not change the traditional Lumia design. The Lumia 535 looks a lot like previous Nokia Lumia models. The Lumia 535 is going after the value segment, and has a number of interesting features at its price point of just €119.The phone sports a 5-inch IPS 960x540 display, 5-megapixel cameras at the front and back. A dual-SIM version is available too.
The 1905mAh battery is user-replaceable and should offer average battery life. The main camera packs a 1/4” sensor with a 28mm f/2.4 lens and LED flash. Performance is somewhat limited, as both cameras only support 848x480 video at 30fps.
The Lumia 535 measures 140x72x8.8mm and weighs 146 grams. It is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor clocked at 1.2GHz. It also sports 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal NAND storage, backed by a microSD slot. Microsoft also includes 15GB of free cloud storage with each purchase.

It appears that the a wide-scale rollout of Windows 10 Mobile (http://hothardware.com/tags/windows-10-mobile) in the United States can’t be too away. We reported earlier this week that T-Mobile (http://hothardware.com/tags/t-mobile) has started pushing the update to select Lumia smartphones in Poland (http://hothardware.com/news/t-mobile-pushes-windows-10-mobile-to-lumia-640-owners-in-poland), while the the wireless carrier is also prepping a German rollout in the coming weeks. Today, Windows Phone 8.1 (http://hothardware.com/tags/windows-phone-81) users in Latin America are reporting that their Lumia 535 (http://hothardware.com/tags/lumia-535) smartphones are being upgraded to Windows 10 Mobile — more specifically, they are being updated to Build 10586.39 courtesy of the CV LTA ROM.
While it’s great news that Microsoft and its wireless partners are showing some love to various countries around the world with regards to Windows 10 Mobile upgrades, we’re certain that Windows Phone 8.1 users (at least those that aren’t part of the Windows Insider Program (http://hothardware.com/news/windows-10-mobile-insider-preview-10581-fixes-upgrade-bug-holds-line-on-new-features)) would like to have some love aimed in their direction as well.

http://hothardware.com/ContentImages/NewsItem/36257/content/small_windows_10_LTA.jpg

Once Windows 10 Mobile completes its global rollout, it will initially be available on the following smartphones (http://hothardware.com/news/here-are-the-first-ten-lumia-smartphones-that-will-receive-windows-10-mobile):


Lumia 430
Lumia 435

Lumia 535
Lumia 540
Lumia 640
Lumia 640 XL
Lumia 735

In addition to the above legacy Lumia devices, Microsoft has released two flagship smartphones — the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL (http://hothardware.com/news/microsoft-gives-lumia-950-and-lumia-950-xl-owners-free-year-of-office-365-personal) — and the entry-level Lumia 550 (http://hothardware.com/news/entry-level-lumia-550-windows-10-mobile-smartphone-now-available-at-139) which come preloaded with Windows 10 Mobile. In addition, the mid-range Lumia 650 (http://hothardware.com/news/lumia-650-windows-10-mobile-smartphone-outed-by-fcc-leaked-confirms-metal-rimmed-design) should be released to the public shortly.
