    Lumia 1520 front broken glass but display and touch intact

    Just buy a spare screen on eBay and do it yourself. Plenty of videos to show you how to do it and it's not that bad. Be aware though, the last two screens I have received have had major issues (part of the same purchase/return, same supplier). Hopefully your luck is better than mine.

    Is the Lumia 1520 still worth to buy??

    Absolutely. Still a few available these days on eBay for less than $200 for the RM-940 (U.S.) version. At that price, with the components and the internals, it's amazing. The 2GB RAM is VERY good because of how Windows Mobile is designed, storage is same as others, camera is still excellent and...

    1520 broken screen - way to operate it at all?

    If you can spare the cash ($50) go for the new screen, it'll take about an hour to replace and can be done pretty easily. Since it's out of warranty anyways, who cares if you screw it up?

    10.0.14295.1000 is disaster for my phone !

    Same here...I was on the slow ring but was delivered this update too. Not sure how. Could be on my end. But it broke the account integration with my Live/Outlook account. So now you have the following: - Any contacts saved to Outlook don't show up. So I'll have my previous conversations marked...

    14295.1000 L640 massive battery drain

    Good to know I'm not the only one. I had the battery drop off (though not as much as some other posters here), the lock screen would struggle and a weird syncing issue with Outlook. My wallpaper stopped updating to Bing image of the day and my mail stopped syncing. This killed the texting too...

    [WM10] Lumia 1520 Bugs & Defects

    re: [WM10] Lumia 1520 Bugs & Defects Few things: - Battery life was terrible initially but turning off Skype-integration with messaging and doing a vanilla reset helped massively - Proximity sensor works better for me now - Definitely not as fluid as WP8.1. Messaging is still incredibly slow -...

    Windows 10 Mobile or Roll Back to 8.1?

    Apart from the quirks and the bugs, WM10 is far superior to Windows Phone 8/8.1 in just about every way. I wish the software was polished more and that they'd fix the bloat but it's a step in the right direction.

    "Can't send; one or more recipients invalid" Texting bug

    So, what you're saying is, since I tried out the "beta" software, I deserve to have my phone screwed up? That's not a very good argument because a) WM10 has been out for a while - the least you can expect is basic things to work fine (contacts, phone, messaging etc) and b) I'm on the slow ring...

    "Can't send; one or more recipients invalid" Texting bug

    So the latest (?) update broke my phone. My Outlook email stopped syncing with my phone so I deleted the account and re-added it. Now it works but my Live contacts are gone. I have been texting my friends for the past few days and they are gone. Only people with phone numbers listed on Facebook...

    Switching platforms? | Thinking of leaving?...comment here!

    I'm heading that way soon too because Microsoft just can't be bothered with a clear strategy. They try something for a few months then scrap it if it doesn't meet expectations. Way too fragmented a strategy to have in this space and especially when you're starting behind. I still don't like...

    American Express Windows 10 Mobile

    Okay, the recently updated app doesn't work for me. Boots me out to Edge everytime I try to log in...is this a regional thing? I'm from Canada so wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar issues? Couldn't find a thread like this one so I started it to ask this.

    WM10 Battery Drain on 1520

    Tried, just like Captpt but to no avail. Usage remains stubbornly high. Battery is going down 3-4% an hour when I have only 2 apps with background tasks enabled (Cortana and MSN News). What is interesting is that it stays closer to 2% (still terrible for stand by) when I restart my phone and...

    WM10 Battery Drain on 1520

    Similar problem on 0.36 build too. For me an obvious culprit is the Messaging app. The app is spiteful. Hangs up often, is very slow to respond, has trouble showing me sent/received texts, heats up the left corner of my phone and often shows me duplicates of old conversations. Everything else...

    The Windows 10 "I'm Installing" Thread

    For those getting the errors while installing, did the same errors come up when the "Get Windows 10" app first scanned your system? If no, then that is concerning. The whole point of that app, as I imagined, was to point out any potential issues in your system so that the installation process...
