Hi,

I am pretty sure that the admins that decide which devices get their own forums will never ever find this thread :crying:.

You should use this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1660354 to ask for a device specific forum.

It is usually a good idea to include some details about the size of the community for that device, and what kind of development is

currently going on...providing links would probably be helpful!

Thanks!

This is a copy paste from a web site:

(Nokia is pushing out a firmware update for the handset which brings it to 1028.3562.1402.00xx in EU and 1028.3534.1347.2001 in US)

Did anyone get it?

If someone did, did you notice any differences? Any fixes?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Budniu:
No change.

You can get that FW from Nokia serwer and flash via Nokia Care Suite: http://www.windowsmania.pl/romy-333/%5Blumia-1520%5D%5Bstock-rom%5D%5Bblack%5D-1028-3562-1402-0002-z-pl-8936/

It would be nice to have a dedicated area for finding good info and help. :)

Yep.. Me too. I just bought the 1520 yesterday. I was confused between the note 3, the one max, the ultra z, and this Lumia.... I bought it yesterday, hopefully I took the right decision. The device is extremely attractive with a respectable performance

Hi,

I went for the Note 3 but am now trying to sell it so I can get a 1520. I'd be really interested to know how you get on with the 1520. Is there a way you can keep us up to date or maybe chat via PM about it?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fozzieb:
I have the Note 3 and the 1520, the nokia is great but the apps still let it down a bit.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super_Sport:
see i owned a lot of Android devices before. i am always ready for an Android device.... Android is all over the place. but this Lumia (1520) is something different. maybe its difference because its a NOKIA after all....... a one of a Kind Nokia........ + High End Hardware Specs.

i wanted something different this time. i can say that i am satisfied with it since day 2 . its a "Head Turner" too wherever i go :)

the apps, the restrictions of Windows phone : Oh i can live with that. all what i need i can find (basic apps).... so.. i think it was a good decision

Thanks. Using the 1520 now and loving it so far. I was bored of Android and find the Windows thing a refreshing change actually. A few things I miss like haptic feedback on the keyboard for one and not being able to adjust the volume for different things but hey. Overall it's a superb phone.

Still no device section for poor Lumia 1520.. I just posted my request here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50967223

May be more requests we make, more the chances of getting one.

Having used androids, Galaxy S/ Note phones, this is a breath of fresh air. Also this is the first WP that can match Android flagships in terms of HW/ performance.

Apps -- if you use microsoft services, i.e. xbox /onedirve -- makes your life easier too..

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrHRH:
After using it for a few weeks now, I must say I'm frustrated with it. The battery life is ok but nowhere near what I was expecting. I saw a couple of videos on Youtube where people have claimed to still have 63 % battery left at the end of a heavy day's use. In my experience that is ludicrously optimistic. With a heavy day's use I have to charge the phone after about 14 hours. With a moderate day of average use I'm down to about 35%. Unfortunately this phone definitely does NOT give you peace of mind re the battery. If you want to use it to its full potential you will need a charger at hand after 14 hours or so.

There's a few other things that I find exasperating. Not knowing how much battery is actually left without having to trawl through at least 2 menus is just bizarre. Live tiles only update every 30 mins. Again, WTF? The settings menu is farcically disorganised. There's absolutely no logical order to it at all. They seem to have used a random generator to come up with the settings list.

No way of browsing files on the device or the SD card. Do they think everyone with a Windows phone is technically illiterate?

There are all sorts of leaked, supposedly credible sources of information about the 8.1 update which will miraculously teleport the Windows phone into 2014 with the features that have been available on Android for about 4 years. I have serious reservations about the validity of these claims.

I thought I'd find workarounds for these ridiculous omissions in the Windows OS but sadly I haven't. I find myself having to use the Note 2 to do things that should be doable on the Lumia. Due to the above I've put the 1520 up for sale. Let me know if you're interested.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
There's no smartphone in the world that will run for a full day at full CPU and GPU utilization (say, playing system-stressing games) constantly, at least not with the stock battery. The 1520 doesn't have the best battery life among all WP8 devices, but it still does better than equivalent Android devices. People define "heavy day's use" very differently.

While I agree that the lack of easy access to the exact battery percentage is annoying (though there are tons of apps you could pin to the Start screen to see it in just one tap), in practice it doesn't matter. If I can estimate to within about 5% how much battery life I have left - and I can - what's the need for exact numbers? Also, the Battery Saver feature kicks in at 20%, and the low battery warning is (I think) at 10%.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaviUnic:
You are correct.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super_Sport:
if I understand correctly, I can put the URL to the pocketfilemanager, the file will be downloaded to the "downloads" folder... I can then copy/cut it to the " pictures" folder... Connect the phone to Pc... Grab that file out.

that's the procedure? That would solve my problem cz I have high speed internet at work, and wish to download large files in any format (.rar, .iso ....)

I see that I can send the downloaded file by Bluetooth too.

if this app can do the above, let MS close whatever it wants... I don't care for a "root explorer" like app on wp8, as long as I can download any file, and send it to PC

I got the 1320 ( the little big brother ) and i have a good batterylife.

Well i am a modderate user, its hooked on Wifi only, no internet/dataconnection.

But wat does it means a modderate user?

So i trie to explane what i have done the last two days.

Not al is on the clock so its all approx

Here it goes

24/7 gps, screensettings low ( its to bright for my eyes, got alway everything on the darkest settings ).

Synch with Xbox/music is off, just like double tap and glanche, not needed.

Yesterday morning i have unplugged it, fully charged.

Did a few phonecalls ( about 10 minutes ) navigate about 4 hours, took some pictures.

Webbrowsing and reading about 2 hours, whatsapp Messenger and facebook ( lets say 10 minutes )

Reading ans answering mail, no pushmail or autosynch....i am a big boy so i deside when i check my mail.

Played stuppidbirds go for about 20 minutes.

Got a batteryconsuming clock and a daycounter running in the background.

Its now on 1 day, 18 hours and got 9 hours left.

In compairison with my other phones, i think it does quite nice.

At least i am content with it.

It has the same batterypack as the 1520, but the hardware is ofcourse less.

I don't see it happening

I really don't see them updating a forum for us. I have been on xda for a long time as well and when I first came it was a lot of windows mobile because of high customization and buzz, now that has shifted to Android. I love my windows phone I have owned 6 total and currently using the 1520 that I modded to have Qi, now I have moved my wife a 4yr iphone user to windows phone. I wish they would start a forum for us but again they seem to just let windows phone in the back burner but I hope I am wrong. I check this site nightly because of all the buzz and support it gets from developers but sadly not the same site as in the past. (not knocking anyone)
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naenee:
I think that if there's really too much news / development / etc to fit in a general Windows Phone 8 section, more forums will be created.

But for as far as I can see, there's just not that much going on, even with Windows Phone 8.1 on the horizon along with some new devices.

Perhaps it's also the matter of the Windows Phone platform being rather closed, apart from apps/games, there's not much for consumers to develop, whereas Android seems the opposite in that respect.

The need is far greater for Android to be nodded than the current offering of Windows..

I've been playing with Androids for some time now,and have found they need all the help they can get...They are getting better but..they still have some serious qc issues spread out over the various brands and carriers

This phone is the first one that I have ever owned that has great connectivity...most of my past Androids needed to be rooted..and flash all of the various radios to find the best and even then it wasn't very good everywhere I go.

I am unfamiliar with how one goes about doing this with a. Windows Phone..but I don't need it now..perhaps fixing the apps some have issues with..doing something with the tiles for themes ..I don't know..

But..I would love to see what can be done,and do know that someone here can do it..cause it is XDA...and that's what they love to do...

Well why should there be multiple threads about each phone

In the base the os is al the same.

No matter if you own a 520 or a 1020, it works the same.

you only have the risk that a lot of questions will be double posted.

I have seen the same in multiple forums.

And what do you get.....

A L520 thread

A L620 thread

720

820

920

1020

1320

1520

630

635

925

935

521

525

And with mostly the same issues....cause they are not phone related

but WP related.

just my 2 cents
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thals1992:
And that's not even including the exclusive 822, and 928 to Verizon, nor exclusive HTC's (8XT anyone?) and Samsung's (Odyssey and the upcoming ATIV SE.)

I do believe there is a use for device specific forum, but not here. There isn't much use for one unless someone is actively doing hacking/development for a specific device. There is a second use would be contain speculation, nonetheless, its purpose would serve would to catch any remedy and complaints about cellular hiccups or potential design flaws.

Also, remember WP users are a minority here. The guys above mods (e.g. the xda admin/mod committee) all keep us around as a courtesy. They pretty much all use Androids, though I can't vouch for everyone on the list. I had sent in a complaint several months ago about how there were never any WP news/app reviews and now the portal is essentially unusable due to them improperly tagging their own posts.

well, i don't mind using other forums to get/share what i/other needs but it would be great to have 1520 serious section here. yes, there are no custom roms atm and will it ever be like on android phones, i have no clue. but it would be good to have a place to share opinions and help each other. it might be not so "popular" right now but the fact is, that number of users are growing fast. since there are xy phones with almost dead threads on forum, i don't see reason not to have one for 1520.

My main reason is to debloat it, make a backup, and install a ROM that is faster and cleaner than the stock one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ultramag69:
The general philosophy is, if you need to ask you don't need to root...

It can cause issues for people if the don't know what they're doing and is likely to void your warranty.

It is thought best to leave it stock until you have tested your device to make sure it's working right and won't need warranty service or you may end up paying twice for your new toy...

In a nutshell, rooting means to gain root access to your system. You are able to access, alter and delete your actual OS.

This has many benefits for those who like to modify and theme their devices. It also allows backups of the current firmware and allows altering the base functions of your tablet like speed of CPU, governing power usage and replacing the stock recovery/kernel with altered ones that give more access and choices.

However Samsung, in their infinite wisdom (and the influence of the almighty dollar), decided too many people were screwing things up by altering their devices and have now added Knox, a security feature that has no relevance to most lay users...

As it's main objective is to provide a safe shell to use the OS, any breach triggers a Knox warranty void eFuse(?) that they have been using against people when they try to take in for warranty.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] EliteMover79:
I am not trying to be rude but at some point all of us were new to rooting. I am still learning but really like the straight up android experience. I do love the killer features on this tab, though. So you can root and still have the multi windows and pen windows and even the 4 window multi screen? If this is the case I am very happy to hear that. I would like to root but will probably wait a little while so I can enjoy a "new" experience on this beast.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ChrisNee1988:
If I were to root, it would be to get all apps compatible with pen window and multiwindow. Also to use gmd to get gestures similar to windows/ipad. Foldermount is great for moving app/game data to the sd card. Adblock to block ads. I still havent pulled the trigger because of knox but its really tempting!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ddavtian:
Rooting by itself doesn't change tablet features, doesn't add more features. It gives you power to make changes. After rooting you have exact same tablet. But now you can install apps that make all apps available in multi-window or add 4 way option or freeze installed apps that you don't need. You can install stock based ROM (see CleanROM) that is very smooth and fast. But have to be careful, to know what you're doing.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] EliteMover79:
That's true, what I meant was , can you root , load a custom rom and still have the multi windows and spen window? Because a true google android experience would be amazing with the cool Sammy features we have stock.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ChrisNee1988:
Clean rom is based on touchwiz, I don't believe there are any stock roms for this device yet. If you install a stock aosp rom, you will lose all or most of those features

So far I've taken the button completely out and it still is doing the same thing, and I tried another battery with the same results.

I'm thinking I didn't plug something back in (I've checked and checked and can't find anything) or I overheated something and broke the connection
