QUOTE(adam ultimo @ Dec 16 2013, 01:37 AM) the under-performing camera of the 1520 as reported by others is really worrying me. 1520 is OK and fine for day shots, just the lowlight and high ISO shots tak boleh pakai because of cramped pixels. |

QUOTE(fantasy1989 @ Dec 15 2013, 11:09 PM)  Motion Monitor – Rocking a Nokia Lumia 1520? Then check out Nokia’s new Motion Monitor app. It requires the Nokia Black firmware update and a Snapdragon 800 processor, therefore only Lumia 1520 owners can take advantage of this app that will track your activity without needing an accessory. Get in the Windows Phone Store. (Free/Lumia 1520 only) Me in Latest NOKIA Black firmware & no more updates found when checking Phone Updates. |

i was dead set on getting the 920 over the weekend, until i got "poisoned" by my cousin to try out the 1520. was thoroughly impressed with it , and decided to delay my purchase and carry out my research if its worth the additional 1k.
it was all perfect, until i saw the low light pictures and videos. i mean, wth nokia. my n8 can shoot better video lah. i hope its a software issues, and can easily be resolved with an update. until then, i will not consider it at all. |

Facing "Call Forwarding" unable to disable problem.
 First of all, before using 1520, I already deactivate Voice Mail from UMobile center. These 2 days I'm testing the 1520, found that the "Call Forwarding" was TICKED enable. My itchy hand to disable it. It becomes GREY OUT & found the ICON on status bar is always showing ON. That happens after I restarted my phone. Now I can't ever disable the ICON at all. UNTICK those BOX below "Call Forwarding" remains same. And I had tested those GSM code ##21#, ##61#, ##63#, ##67# also no use. How could I make it disappeared? Now don't know would affect calls to be divert or not, the divert number all listed to +601812xxxxxxx, weird... :s |

NOISE NOISE NOISE everywhere! HTC one got the biggest pixel in the market today at 2μm, hence the good lowlight video performance, only lose out for still details as it is only 4MP. I think the 1520 issue is more hardware limitation than software. The only software 'fix' we as owner can do is to manually lower shutter speed for lowlight shots, hence lowering the ISO a bit. But this works for static objects only as moving objects will be blurred.1520 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Note 3 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « htc 1 ( yes this even this phone can shoot videos with less noise ) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by hox: Dec 16 2013, 07:36 PM |

Nokia representative said this is due to the F2.4
 If like that maybe in future if they were to reduce the noise, they might just soften the photo or video.... CODE Thank you for writing Nokia Careline. We would first like to thank you for choosing our Nokia Lumia 1520 as your preferred device. In response to your inquiry, kindly be informed that DNG file always comes together with 5MP oversampled image with the Aspect ratio set to 4:3. On the other hand upon checking and comparing Nokia Lumia 1520 Camera F-Stop/Aperture is f/2.4 to Nokia Lumia 920 Camera F-Stop/Aperture which is f/2, the differences may cause the said noise. However, we will take note of this for further study. Nokia places a great deal of importance on all useful comments from our customers. Constructive feedback is highly valued as this serves as part of our basis in improving our products and services. Kindly be informed that the latest Nokia imaging applications, Nokia Camera, Nokia Storyteller, and Nokia Refocus, are available in the Store. Please make sure to visit the Store and download the apps to enjoy imaging at its best on your Lumia 1520. We hope for your kind understanding regarding this matter. You may like to visit our website at www.nokia.com.my for more information and support for your Nokia device. If you have further inquiries, please write to us again or contact Nokia Careline at 1300 881600. We operate between the hours of 9.00am and 6.00pm, five days a week. Kind regards, Estila V. Nokia Care Representative |
