hello I have Nokia Lumia 530 I face screen black when turn on either select menu it remain black
hey i have lumia 520 when i make any type of call it turn black what is its issue
Lumia 530 has no proximity sensors and it happens to one of my clients (I am a mobile technician). I reinstalled the software and still happens. Worst thing is that the touchscreen doesn’t work after a call and the phone has to be restarted. Anyone with some answers? Thank you.
Yes Lumia 530 does not have a proximity sensor so and issue with this is eliminated. It seems to be a peculiar issue.
Hi, just cut the piece of screen guard near your front camera and Voila! The issue is resolved. That stupid piece of screen guard! 😡
