I thought the title would get your attention, but it really IS HUGE! What am I talking about? No, not that silly... The new Microsoft store at Northpark Mall, Dallas, Texas. The attached picture just does not do it justice. It's twice as long as I can show here and is very deep too. Opens...

Its installing (at the gears screen) as I type this on my PC now.... :sweaty:

Availability in North America (USA)? NONE. WTF?

The 'difference' would be substantial if you tried to print the two types of picture as a large size print (16"x20" or bigger). The 5MP JPG file will probably begin to look crappy at 10"x8" or so but the 16MP raw file won't show the same pixelation or other color blocking problems etc. If you...

I keep mine in a "Poetic Palette Ultra slim Hardshell Case for Nokia Lumia 1520 Sand Black" (do a search for that on eBay), that cost me less than $8. Why? I started out not liking cases for phones, but the 1520 is just so "slick" feeling I really did worry about it dropping onto a hard floor...

I pull it out of and back into a belt case kind of thing all the time. I do worry about it flying out of my fingers and onto the floor or me missing the case and it dropping. :cry: The screen glass sure does show up lots of thumb and finger prints; need to clean it more than most phones I have...

So by having to do some heavy tweaking to the EQ settings, to get a decent sound, are you really telling us that they are actually not all that good? Think about it - "Good" headphones should not need much EQ at all, should they?

For the benefit of the generation that have only ever used Instagram, there are two file formats recorded by the 1520... Raw with a file extension of DNG and regular file format, with an extension of JPG. The JPG format files (also called JPEG for short) are the ones that are usually the 5MP...

Nokia/Microsoft outside of the USA not rolled out the firmware fix for these sensitivity issues yet... US users got this a while back now... Nokia staff on the Nokia support forum were EXPLICIT about the fix and it rolling out:

Quick question for those of us interested in buying a headphone/earphone WITH a microphone in so we can take and make calls using it. I don't see anything in the US manual about it (I may have just missed it, so a page number would be nice) so as we in the USA don't get such a device in the...

Over seven days now, no more posts about this from me as the new firmware has fixed it for me. If you don't have the firmware, growl at your carrier, Nokia or Microsoft.

re: Lumia 1520 Bugs & Defects Get the latest firmware installed. I am told it fixes this.

I just powered up my 1520 to read some messages by pressing the button the right side of the phone. Lock screen on the display. I let it sit there for a few seconds as I moved something about on my table and then looked at the screen and saw the brightness dim a bit - by about 10%. As soon as...

Five days now. I went out at 4:30pm leaving the phone at home for the update and it is now the same time, five days on. As for the screen issues, I suspect that the thing is actually not sensitive enough for me to wake it up every time with a double tap.

We have been installing a 10Gb/sec backbone LAN recently. Forcing all LAN transactions over it makes the machine SMOKE! One day for WiFi.... One Day.
