I switch between a Nokia 1520 and a Galaxy Note 4. The Band has to be factory reset, then re-paired with the new phone (I've found that the pairing in Bluetooth has to be deleted and then re-paired). Then go to the app on the phone that manages the Band and "unregister" the band. It will then...

I've always liked cases that include a flip-cover for the screen and convert to a stand for reading. I got the Belkin cased when I first got a 1520, and recently picked up a second one on e-bay as a standby, as the original is getting a bit frayed. This case adds very little thickness, and the...

I have a Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Note 4, 1520.3, and 830. I Generally switch between the 1520 and the Note 4, generally use the Note when on a consulting engagement and have a higher likelihood of needing to take notes on the fly. I really prefer the Windows OS, specially with the...

I'm on my 2nd 1520 (got the itch for a Note 4 and traded in my AT&T 1520). The thing I love about the note is the digitizer and the apps that I use most often. I found that I missed Windows Phone and the 1520, so I picked up an unlocked 1520.3 from B&H Photo. I love the 1520, but while I love...

Yes. I've used my band with both Windows phones and my Note 4. She just has to download the Microsoft Health app from the Google Play store, and remember that the band is paired using the normal Bluetooth pairing process but after pairing, the connection is made through the app. All...

I bought an AT&T off contract 1520 at the Microsoft store about a year ago. I have a "Device addiction", so I bought a used AT&T Note 3 off of e-bay. I kept switching back and forth - love the Windows OS, missed some aps and inking on the Note, and really don't like Android. When I was...

I traded in my AT&T 1520 for the Note 4. After a few months I missed the WP operating system that I way-prefer over Android. I bought an unlocked 32gb 1520.3 from B&H and love it. However, a few things made me switch back to my Note4. First, I travel a lot, and almost exclusively on United...

I had an AT&T 1520 purchased from the Microsoft store and used it for 7 months without any problems. Foolishly traded it for a Note 4 (mainly for the digitizer and a few missing apps). While I like the Note, I really prefer Windows Mobile over Android, and I just ordered an unlocked 1520-RM938...

I just picked up my 1520 yesterday, and so far, I'm thrilled with it. Having said that, I've used convertible notebooks with Wacom digitizers for years, and inking in OneNote is a really useful tool for me in my work (client interviews in consulting projects). I take notes all day and then...

That did not work. However, I found the thread about hard reset (volume button down, power button), and it did a soft reset just fine. Didn't erase anything, and seems to be working just fine. Ron

I was loving everything about my 920 until this morning when it completely froze. I was dialing into voicemail and it comnected and locked up after 3 seconds of connection. The screen is frozen and nothing I do will un-freeze it. Off to the AT@T store today for a replacement Ron

iPhone 5 or Windows I'll throw in my 2.5 cents. I was a long-time Windows Mobile user, with a long string of HTC phones on AT&T, the last one being the Tilt. I made a few forays into Symbian with the Nokia 9300 and 9500, as well as the E51. The networks were so slow back then, I couldn't...

My thinking is that I want to use my upgrade on the next device I'll have for a few years. I wanted to try out WP to get a sense of it, and the no-contract Lumia 900 seems to be a good way to do it. I'll probably sell my unlocked Galaxy Note phone, as I picked up a G Note 10.1 for note-taking...
