Lumia 1520.3 w/ AWS, 700Mhz and QI

[Non Chalant]

I Just went ahead and got one of each color, depending on my mood is what phone I'll use that day. Yellow and red in transit

Actually, it will come from Nokia in the Lumia Cyan update, which includes 8.1 and new firmware

True +1520

I would have put the money into new t-shirts.

Seriously. lol. But that could be a onesie.

Also you missed a couple colors.

I did a little more testing and it was definitely that solitaire game that made my phone heat up. It didn't get quite as hot as the day I first experienced it, but still very noticeable. I'm not a gamer so I don't know if that is something that is happening with other apps. I'd be curious to know if any of you are experiencing the same. On another note, I had my first spontaneous reboot this morning while in a twitter app. I hope that isn't something that becomes a regular occurance.

Ordered a black 1520.3 from B&H today. Can't wait.

Going to be using my $30 a month T-Mobile plan.

I experience the same with the unit heating up while playing solitaire.

 

[dclaryjr]

An update--I downloaded a different solitaire game and it plays fine with NO heating issues. So this is specifically about the Microsoft Solitaire Collection--deleted.

EDIT: I went to write a review on the app and discovered that the overheating is a VERY common complaint.

I get an errant tap now and then...not nearly enough for me to put it in the "dreaded" class. I've trained myself to have a very light touch when trying to swipe.

This 1520 really does epitomize love/hate relationship for me. When I'm typing with terrific accuracy, streaming live sports with nary a hit on battery life, etc. I'm in love and think this is the greatest smartphone to date, without question. When the swipe/tap bug starts acting up I think "oh dear, when is the 930 coming out? Will there be an LTE-compatible version? How much can I get for my 1520.3?" Maybe I'm just bi-polar lol.

On a related note, I've found that restarting the phone does ease the issue a bit if it's been especially bad.

This thing is glorious. Got my Incipio Feather case at the same time too.

Installing WP 8.1 now.

 

[mister2d]

Show the back. This case looks interesting.

This looks identical to the Nillkin Matte Hard Cover case.

I see. Well never mind then. I have the Nillkin in white. Hate it now. It's so dirty and it won't come clean.

 

[dclaryjr]

I don't know if the texture is the same or not. I thought the Nillkin was a little slippery, and I like a little more of a raised edge on the front.

My Nillkin wasn't slippery at all. It was soft and matte white. Here's my new one I just got today from Finland. It has that lovely leathery smell.

Well, rats, my Internet Sharing isn't working. The phone shows that it's on, and the iPad shows it's getting a signal, but everything I try times out. I have 5GB of sharing with my plan and I'm not close to that. I'd call T-Mobile but I'm guessing as soon as I tell them I have the 1520, they'll start singing the "not supposed" tune.

Check your DNS settings on your iPad to make sure it's auto populating instead of a manual entry.

Also try another device to tether.

 

[dclaryjr]

I cycled power on the iPad and all is well. Phew! That's a relief. There are some things (like participating in this form) that are SO much easier on a tablet than the phone.

Here's a pic of my Nillkin case. It's a rather hard plasitic, and the back has a grain that you feel if you run a fingernail across it. I like the way it looks, and the fact that there are cut outs for the buttons. I'll give it a trial for the day.
