    1020 Battery Drain

    Just like to add something to re-address this issue. Because I caught this faulty behavior on screen. I don't know how to attach pictures in posts here but here's what was on screen: On "Battery Saver" settings, 'time since last charge: less than 1 hour'. It was charged to full. But it states...

    My 1st and only drop!

    Freak fall. All glass, including bullet proof ones, will crack if hit from its edge. This phone screen's edge is sealed within its metal housing. Probably a drop where the entire impact rest on just one point along the edge ( as opposed to distributed along the edge on flat ground ), like maybe...

    The 1020 with external lenses - DIY

    That was what I thought Nokia should have done in the first place when they made the camera grip. Not for lens adapters but for screw on ND filters and polarizers. But then when I was thinking how it should have been designed, I realized why they didn't do it. The camera flash will be inside...

    Lumia 1020 after GDR3 Preview - No more yellow tinting post processing

    From what I understand, that is not tinting created in post processing. It's just the phone screen's color space not matching the actual color space. There's actually 3 sets of color space here. The one you see on your phone, the one used by Nokia ProCam, and the one used by screen grab program...

    Preferring my Moto X over my Lumia 1020 when it comes to quick shots

    Some people like quick snapshots, but for some people, having control over composition of light and shadow, is the fun part. That, is something phone's A.I. or SLR's meter does not know. For example, I took 2 test shots from the same spot. That is something software can't "see" for me...

    Barometer? For what?

    Besides GPS, maybe developers can write apps for skiers can track their descent speed, and bikers can track climbs of their rides.

    I thought i could save lots of pictures from 1 pictures easy

    A simple update can easily make multiple saves happen. Even without pop up dialogue for overwrite. But I think they assumed if we wanted a photo that's framed vastly different than the one we just framed, we would just take another photo. So its "innovative zoom" is still cropping in Adobe...

    Clicks and such noises when turning on camera

    Pamphlet says its Optical Image Stabilizer, and not to worry about it. So everyone hears it, including guys at Nokia. And they're very aware we'll hear it.

    Questions: 1020 grip and charging

    I have the grip case on at all times. But maybe I'm not using it or charging both units correctly. Manual doesn't answer anything, just how to charge with it connected, or not. I had depleted and charged full both units separately, after which, the grip had been on the whole time. However, I...

    Camera Grip as a case ??

    I got 1020 because I intend to use it as a camera with minimal phone/text and no media or internet consumption. So, I have it on at all times. And I like the bulk and weight. Makes it easier handle. In vertical mode, even though it is awkward, its bottom heavy feel is really, really nice. But...

    Pictures / Video taken with your 1020

    All clues point to it being a cloudy evening. You can still overexpose cloudy days by a bit to make it look brighter. There is a lack of not just blown highlights, but just lack of bright highlights in general. Shadows also indicate time is not close noon, that sun is closer to horizon. Plus...

    Going back to WP8 after a 90 day run with Android, couple of questions to ask about the 1020

    I've not tried Android yet. I was expecting W8 to have clumsy information architecture with redundant steps and illogical routes but I am quite surprised at how well thought out it is. Its interface and organization feels very Bang & Olufsen-like. It just need to have an easier way to quit...

    Remember the Promo Code MS gave out for screwing up the 1020 Pre-order ?

    eMail stated "good for your next purchase of $150 or more". Your 1020 does not count since you already pre-ordered it. If you had not purchased it, you won't have gotten the promo in the first place, which, is for your next purchase of $150 or more. My experience with MS is this. For its free...

    Another bad cnet review of the 1020

    Don't be mean. That's a drop test 1020 will survive unscathed and she won't.

    Nokia Lumia 1020 Keeps Freezing

    I would attribute this type of bug to OS software, which is not Nokia.
