I sold my Samsung Ativ SE WIndows phone earlier this year and I went to Android with the Samsung Galaxy S6.
I was very happy with the Galaxy S6, especially about the camera which is better then the camera on the 1520.
But after a while I started to miss the Windows OS more and more...
So beginning this month I decided to buy a second hand red Lumia 1520 for only 200 euro :D and I sold my S6.
And I must say that I'm glad I did it.
The 1520 is a great device!
However, I have a couple of questions.
It would be nice if someone knows how to fix this issues.

- On the lockscreen I see only a picture, no time or date?
- When I'm browsing apps in the store, click an app to read the details and then go back to the overview, it brings me back on the top and I need to scroll down again?
- Photos of contacts don't show up in the people's tile on my startscreen.
- Is it possible to install a xap file?

(I'm on the last build of Windows 10)

Anybody else on 1520 with Windows 10 expereincing this?

Thank you guys! Yes I am glad I'm back on Windows. I don't want to say Android is bad, but I've been on Windows for years. I had a Lumia 920, Lumia 930 and Samsung Ativ SE. I decided to give Galaxy S6 a try, because of the camera, more apps on Android and the Galaxy S6 looks just amazing. But I started missing Windows, and I realized that all apps I use are in the Windows store (except some apps like 500px and Dutch apps like "Marktplaats") but I can enter them via the browser.
And even when the 1520 is already 2 years old, friends and other people ask me which phone I have... They like the glossy red back and the size of the phone :)
