The Nokia/Microsoft Lumia whichever is with you is certainly not without its foibles, in fact no smartphone in the world is even if it is Apple iPhone. I’ve been hanging out in dingy forums, wading through customer support, and investigating the downsides of the Lumia phones to bring you a set of possible fixes for what ails your smartphone. These are some of the common Lumia problems that I found and my top suggestions for how to overcome them. To be honest I have implemented these steps with some of the people who were having issues and they are satisfied with the result and outcome after applying these fixes.
Lumia Problems Issues: Rapid battery drain and overheating of Lumia
Modern smartphones, like the Lumia, are packed with features and people use them for longer than ever before. Yes, that is true. A phone was never been used for such a prolonged time earlier days. That tends to result in a major drain on the battery, and the device can also get very warm. There are a few things you can do to reduce the strain. If you still have persistent overheating and battery drain problems with your Lumia then there are other things you can try also.

Lumia Problems Issues: Random reboots or freezes
A few Lumia owners have run into issues with their phones randomly rebooting or freezing. The Lumia 1020 may turn itself off and on again during use, or even at rest. It may also freeze and become unresponsive. There’s a good chance this is related to specific apps or services.

Lumia Problems Issues: Poor voice call quality
A number of Lumia owners have run into issues with call quality. It may sound like the other caller has a lisp, or there’s a rustling noise or static during calls. The other caller may also find that your voice is cutting in and out during the call. There is a good chance also that you might as well be facing issues with the service provider.

A lot of people have been complaining about their Wi-Fi connection slowing to a crawl or cutting off altogether when the screen times out. Wi-Fi issues are very common, but this could be caused by settings.

Lumia Problems Issues: Double tap not working
A lot of users are having issues with this one mostly, the issue actually happens as when the screen is locked for a longtime the double tapping on the screen instead of pressing the lock button should wake the phone up but that does not happen in some phones. I personally use Nokia Lumia 1020 and the double tap feature was having issues unless I took the below steps.

After doing these I am now not facing any issues. For a testing I stopped using the phone for 46 hours and after that when I double tapped the phone wake up just fine. I have tried this with the people who were having issues with the double tap feature and by following the above mentioned steps their issues are also now resolved.
