I'd like to automatically get all my apps downloaded to my 1520 that I have on my 920. How do I do that? Thanks!

Hey, go to settings-->backup-->apps+settings-->create a backup. While setting up your 1520 you will be informed that there is a backup available and if you want it to be installed. If you accept; restoring/downloading process begin and all apps will be automatically downloaded. You're lucky, because 1520 sports GDR3 and Lumia Black, that means you're able to restore backup via Wi-Fi. Its impossible without GDR3 update... ;) only cellular restore on GDR2.

Weird I had the back-up on in the 920 settings, it said it was backed up 16 hours ago, and I did not get a message while I was setting up the 1520. Will I have to do a restore?

Not really sure why is that. Here you can find more info:

Maybe you didn't log in to your Microsoft Account while setting up?
