I am excited about the big update coming, but I was hoping for more hardware wise. I was really hoping to see an upgraded 1020 out there.

Can anyone comment on the picture quality of the 1520? My wife is worried it won't take a good photo and is convincing her self she needs the 1020.

I am against it because of the hardware loss going down to a 1020.

My wife just got a 1520 and signed in with her love account.

It tried syncing then said "not up to date." So, we told it to sync again. She triple checked her login information and it is correct. She gets the error code 86000c0a when trying to download apps or update existing apps.

Any ideas?

Thanks guys. There was someone selling the 520 locally but wasn't able to buy it. Buddy said it was unlocked but when I went to check it out, it was still locked to his carrier. I did get a chance to play with it for a few minutes and it was really nice.

I bought my wife a 520 after she broker her 900 and was a few months away from an upgrade. I was impressed by the phone.

She now has the 1020 and that camera is really impressive. I sure wish Microsoft would make an updated version of it.

And, in other news, I took the otterbox off my 920 because it needed cleaned and I had forgotten how nice the 920 design is. And it is a shame how much the built in screen protector of the otter box ruins the beauty of the display. I'm rolling case free for a few days now!

I agree that the 920 is a rugged phone,and the 900, but my wife dropped her 900 and the screen cracked completely. Then she got a replacement, dropped that and the same problem.

Is there seriously no way to open my 920 up at work like a USB drive to transfer photos to OneDrive when using XP? The windows transfer app doesn't work on XP.

What you are able to use at work is outside of your control, but at the end of the day it is entirely unreasonable to expect anything in this day and age to support Windows XP or to complain when it doesn't. Any company that does so is going above and beyond.

It has nothing to do with our lovely IT systems here. It gave me the option to open and view files just like plugging in a thumb drive.

Nothing would show up.

My buddy has a 1520 and has an issue when he plugs his charger in it is delayed up to 1 minute for it to start charging. Anyone else getting this?

He has tried different brands of chargers with the same result.

We just tested it on my Nokia charger (wired) and it took nearly 2 minutes.

I have a 1520 and occasionally I'll see a delay when I plug it in to a charger before the phone registers that it's charging, but I usually just unplug it and plug it in again and it picks it up the second time. Is he using the charger the phone came with?

He is using the same charger, plus he has tried the two Nokia chargers I have.

My 1020 was dropped and the top part of the screen has a crack now. Since this is my second cracked 1020 I think it's time to finally invest in a case (something I could never even fathom doing with my 900). Anyone have any recommendations, I'd like something as minimalist as possible that may prevent it from getting another busted screen if dropped from 3 feet in the air.

My wife has it in pink/white and loves it. I was impressed with it enough to get one for my 920.

If you have prime, search nokia 1020 case, select PRIME ONLY, and the same case is there for $9.95 with the Prime shipping bennies as well.

I am on 8.0 and the media player refuses to remember where I left off in podcasts.

I am consistently having Bluetooth error now. If I receive a text while streaming music via Bluetooth there's a 50/50 shot it will hard lock the phone.

+1 for a Zune and ZuneHD fan and still baffled as to why Microsoft thought it was important or a good idea to kill the name, brand, style, software.

You had a fantastic piece of hardware. (HD)
You had a fantastic piece of software. (Zune Desktop, awesome look and style and now playing screensaver with cool text effects, good functionality, wireless syncing (Why is this not a thing today but was from WP5-7.5?))
You had a fantastic music based social network. (not sure how fantastic it really was, but it was unique and people used it, plus I liked the plays count and such as well as ability to share music with other ZuneHD's)
You had a fantastic mobile system and solution. (It freaking worked and it worked well, on both WP7+ and Zune)
You had a freaking 3D interface similar to the "New" Fire Phone. (Tilt your ZuneHD around, it was pretty snazzy)



Yet with all this and the dedicated users that have loved both Zune and Windows Phone, Microsoft almost looks like it wants to give up and just port all their unique software and features to the other devices even after pulling in Nokia and its own Phone hardware... I really hope the new CEO can do something to really downsize and reorg the entire structure to be more like WP7's focus but with speed we were seeing right around the 8.1 RTM release.

It seems like 8.1 was announced months ago, just like Mango and the like, and we are in freaking tech limbo till Christmas again. It is pathetic.

While I still dislike Android, my EVO LTE has actually been, reliable with the latest 4.3 update from HTC, and I am tempted to just stick with a HTC One or something down the road as there is still no Sprint cooperation and nothing new on the horizon for at least another year or more...

This post.

The experience is getting worse it seems and no one wants to support the platform. I emailed Starbucks asking they were working on a WP app. Here is a portion if their reply.

As we grow and evolve our mobile applications, we seek to develop on the platforms where we see the greatest opportunity. At this time we will not support the Windows platform but will continue to evaluate it as the landscape evolves.

If the ship stays the course I will finally be trying out iOS this fall, if the rumors of larger iPhones are true.[

Does anyone else have problems with, what I assume are, group messages. When I receive one it simply says "Get media content now (1kb)" but when you tap on it the same message refreshes, outgoing group messages also refuse to send.

My internet and MMS access point settings are correct, so is there any known issue on WP8.1?

I had this issue with ATT a while back. They had me change tons of settings, even gave me a new phone and the issue persisted. They had me turn off group messaging once and it allowed media content for a while, then it stopped.

After making a huge stink they had someone on their end fix something on the backend and it has worked since.

I know this doesn't help you, but it is how I had my issue "fixed".

Up until you thought of it, HERE Drive's purpose was to generate routes, not accept routes. That's an interesting feature idea but not really a fair criticism. So what you're really asking is "why doesn't HERE Drive communicate correctly with something that was invented after it was released??"

I see your point, but better question is, "Why can't HERE be updated to accept routes from Cortana?"

Or, why isn't Corta a using HERE to create routes?

I upgraded from a 920 to a 930 recently. The screen and camera are a good upgrade - the screen is bigger on a phone around the same size, OLED, but loses glance. The camera gets a lesser version of the zoom in functionality from the 1020. It feels a little lighter but has edges where the 920 had rounded edges on the sides to allow for the bigger screen.

Other than that its the same deal, so if you're having issues with Xbox music or lack of apps that's still there. Basically its more 920, so if you like your 920 now its more of that, just with more res and more megapixels - nothing really ground-breaking.

It is not just a 920. Bigger screen, better camera, better body design, quad core processor, and double the RAM.

Anyone using 8.1 with Ford Sync? If so, have you had problems with Bluetooth phone stuff? If I'm using Cortana on the phone, voice recognition is pretty good. If I use it through the car system, things seem like they have a much higher chance of getting garbled.

As an example yesterday, "directions to sequim washington" became "hot erections to swim washington", which was so completely wrong as to be amusing and screenshot worthy.

I am on my 920 using 8.0 with Ford SYNC and it is a loving nightmare. I am now worried about going to 8.1.

Upon further examination I see "Qualcomm Snapdragon" at the top and the keys are on screen, not capacitive or physical.
