    Using 1520 with no case?

    I had a case for it then thought the phone was too thick with the case so I ditched the case. I have had my phone drop from the top of a refrigerator to the floor...did nothing to the phone, then dropped it out of my hands onto concrete, only part of the glass on the very bottom left part of...

    Another Microsoft Windows Phone fail

    my friend has a hyundai sonata, synced beautifully, my mom has a honda civic, synced just fine, maybe its a problem with the car settings or your phone settings? I've never had a problem syncing my phone to any car with bluetooth...(nokia lumia 1520)

    Google being evil (again)

    In some ways this is a smart business move, but indie labels are going to stop using youtube because, if I read correctly, youtube will stop allowing indie artists to post videos on youtube without subscribing to them, which means they will lose some users, not that I am crazy about youtube...

    Microsoft prefering other OSes for certain things, I'm making a video about it. Suggestions?

    yeah, they do, and I understand why. The thing about MS lately is that they have turned into more of a services company with skydrive, office, skype, bing, etc. The problem is that if they want their services to reach the most amount of people the fastest, then thats iOS and Androis as WP does...

    My own Windows Phone 8.1/9 concept ideas

    pretty good concepts, hope ms uses some of these. One thing I would like them to do is to properly resize content for bigger phones. I have a lumia 1520 and the addition of a 3rd row of tiles for the start screen is great, but the problem I mainly have with wp at the moment is that it just...

    [Real Users] My Lumia 1520 Review

    Re: Impressions after honeymoon period is over yeah, it sounds like you got a bad one, because mine has been rock solid, its stable, built well, and has the best battery life I've ever had on a phone, ever. Please describe what you mean "full of bugs" I hate it when people say "full of bugs"...

    Danger of over charging?

    Okay, I'm an electrical engineering major in school so I can explain this. LiON batteries and LiPO batteries have charging circuits that prevent them from being overcharged AND drained (as in, the phone will leave some charge left in the battery when it is so low that the phone turns off as to...

    What can I say? I don't follow the crowd

    You know, when I showed somebody my windows phone, the first thing he said to me is "what, are you in a support group for that?" I was on the floor laughing, but I do like wp because its different, I also have a 1520 and let me tell you, I've never ever had as many people have a reaction to a...

    Steam Machine?Neat?

    Steam Machine is neat, but In my opinion, the big thing that valve is going to have to do is convince the major developers, like EA, Ubisoft, Activision, Square-Enix, etc., that they should also port their games over to linux. Apple already has a hard enough time with this and they are apple...

    Are OEMs ruining Microsoft?

    Yes and no, there are benefits and disadvantages. When talking about PCs, the only reason why MS is as big as it is is because of OEMs, its a numbers game, you have apple, which is 1 manufacture, vs dell, hp, lenovo, asus, sony, toshiba, acer, etc. Thats why windows won the PC market and thats...

    Has Anyone Ordered the 32GB AT&T?

    I can see right now having the 16 gb model (which I have) for the 1520 could pose as a problem if its not enough storage space for you, but I'm pretty sure that I read correctly that with windows phone 8.1 they will let you install apps onto a micro sd card, so since the phone can take a micro...

    Should I buy Lumia 1520

    YES! It is the best phone I've ever had! I will warn you though about the size: the 1st week you have it, whether its lying on a table charging or in your hand, you will be like, man this phone is huge...until you get used to it, now I feel that its the perfect size for me and every other...

    Why didn't Microsoft include battery percentage?

    They probably didn't include battery percentage just because they thought the icon of the battery and how full it was would give you enough of an indication about how full it is. You can also check the battery percentage in the battery saver area in settings, but I agree, its something that...

    Sony or Nokia Windows Phone?

    the new sony android phones look impressive in terms of their specs but I've heard that in terms of ergonomics they are a pain. I have the new nokia lumia 1520 and its probably the best phone I've ever owned, and I have had samsung, lg, and htc phones in the past. Some of Sony's new phones are...

    java or c#

    This might not be the right forum to answer this question: So I'm an electrical engineering major in college right now and I'm trying to learn more languages seeing as all they really teach us in my undergrad courses is c and assembly. Both are useful to us because we will mostly be doing low...
