Reported Problems [edit]
Half Nokia Lumia 710 Users are having problem with their Nokia Lumia 710. The main problem is with the phone's battery. When the battery is low and put to charge the screen goes blank and the phone starts vibrating after which it is difficult to switch on the phone and after complete charging sometimes the phone gets stuck and then it is switched off by the user to switch it on again, when trying to switch it on it comes and gets stuck at the Nokia Logo screen and then the screen becomes black.
