    Windows vs. Android

    I have used Windows devices since my first smart phone. An HTC Pure. My latest was a Lumia 1520. I loved the Lumia line but it seemed that Windows 10 kept getting more bugs instead of fewer with each update. Slow texting. Individual ringtones for contacts not working, always sounded the default...

    windows 10 mobile is bad microsoft suuuxxxxxx

    I've been using my 1520 for going on 2 years now and no problems. My wife had a 1020 and upgraded to a 950 and has had no problems with either of them. My son and daughter just had to have iPhones and my son has had his replaced twice because of bugs and hardware issues and my daughter is on her...

    Buying advice 950 vs 950 XL

    I went from the 920 to the 1520. I wasn't sure if I would like the larger phone but decided to try anyway. It took about a week to get used to using and holding the phone but now I love it. In fact, I will stay with the 1520 until AT&T starts offering the 950XL.

    Have you still got your 1520?

    Same here. And about the same timeframe. I will still be using it for the foreseeable future until AT&T decides to offer the 950XL.

    Some app problems after hard reset, what can I do?

    Some app problems after hard reset My SD card in my L1520 would always need to be scanned after a soft reset. It was only a 4GB card so I took this opportunity to reset my phone and install a 32GB card. Everything went great. Took a while to restore everything but it eventually reinstalled all...

    Hard reset . I got a question?

    Re: hard reset .. i got a question I just did this yesterday. The phone should ask you if you want to keep the info on the SD card. You can if you want but I didn't. The SD card was the reason I did a hard reset. When my phone came back up and started the restore process, I went into storage...

    Band vs Band 2, what's the big diff?

    Other than the barometer, I don't see much of a difference. I have the Band 1 and don't see much of a reason to upgrade at this point. Now, if my band breaks I will try and get it replaced with a band 2. I got mine at best Buy and got the 2 extra year warranty so I have 2 1/2 years left on it...

    Good navigation app to replace Here Drive+

    Thanks, I'll give Co-Pilot a try. On a side note, I did figure out how to get MapFactor to map an address. I first start MapFactor. I then do a Cortana search for the address. Tap on the map that comes up and then the Directions icon. Then tap Start Voice navigation and MapFactor will plot a...

    Good navigation app to replace Here Drive+

    I have been using Here Drive+ since getting my first Lumia 920. I like the app but it has some limitations. First is that it isn't very smart. I can set a destination and travel there fine, but on the return trip it likes to take a different route instead of just reversing my previous route. The...

    Trade in old band

    My wife and I just got our bands from Best Buy about two months ago. We both sprung for the two year replacement warranty. So maybe in a couple years band 3 will be out and our band 1s will break.

    Lumia 1520 VS the "New" Apple iPhone 6s - (and I am still dying of laughter)

    As a still proud 1520 owner I have to chime in here. My 1520 in everyday use still outperforms my kids iPhone 6's. Both of them have only had their phones for a few months and one is already complaining about the speed, battery life and a defective haptic feedback motor. The other kid complains...

    Need help installing Win 10

    I upgraded my V8P to W10 but it acted a funky sometimes so I wiped it and did a clean install from a flash drive I made with the media creation tool. The only problem was, I couldn't get it to boot from the USB drive so I had to start setup from Windows. After that it went well and installed...

    Getting a Band today! One question so far...

    I as well. Unless there is some decent improvement in functionality/features, I will stick with Band 1 as well. Now, if there are features added that I want to Band 2 then mine, and upper management's, bands will get gifted to Jr. management (kids)
