Just thinking, did you force close the Lumia Camera after using it? because its now running on background starting from v5 ?
*
Yeap, I force close it everytime. Doesn't help.

QUOTE(duttway @ Feb 3 2015, 12:57 PM)
wanted to ask tho the Lumia camera under Denim the quality is visibly better than cyan?
*
Quality is WAY better under Denim with Lumia Camera. Even using just Lumia Classic Camera also the improvement is noticeable.

I use Cortana a lot while driving, like calling/text/take note of something, even navigate home with Here Drive+ "Hey Cortana" + "Take me home" (While my phone is attached to the windscreen holder)

Its abit difficult for the phone to hear "Hey Cortana" from far, it works better if you speak it nearby or loud. So I just use my Microsoft Band to talk to Cortana most of the time while my hands is on the steering wheel, a much better mic receiver haha.
*
Wow cool!!! How's comfortable is Microsoft Band? All reviews point to it being uncomfortable. sad.gif

QUOTE(khyesiang @ Mar 13 2015, 07:59 AM)
Fuihh, nice set of gadgets. Hahaha my Cortana is like my girlfriend: always pretending she never heard me. laugh.gif

"Hey Cortana" is seriously less effective than "OK Google", but Cortana itself is useful nonetheless. No idea how to increase the sensitivity, always have trouble using "Hey Cortana"
*
Yes "Hey Cortana" is not as easy to use as "OK google" or "Hey Siri". Those 2 you can more easily call up, not having to worry bout how exactly you say it. On the other hand I do like that Cortana only responds to me hahaha. But if you have trouble with getting her to respond, I suggest retraining her. Speak loudly in the manner you would call her up in the most comfortable tone for you. I found that the tone is the most important thing, change it slightly & "Hey Cortana" won't work.

Retraining her in different tones?

No, not different tones. It only works in 1 tone. Also make sure u train her in quiet environment else sure fail one

kinda hard  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

its took me 20 time repeating " hey cortana" !! nearly gave up!  rclxub.gif
*
Ya, I also repeated a lot of times. But it turns out it because I have environment noise so it failed haha

Hahaha! Yeahh omg had to repeat so many times. Maybe I'll lock myself in a quiet room. tongue.gif Thanks!

No need till lock yourself in quiet room lah hahaha!!! But if environment noisy like have car pass by, car honking, door opening, stuff like that then sure fail one hehe.

QUOTE(evilpuppy @ Mar 13 2015, 04:02 PM)
yeah, look like cortana love to hear you whispering to her in quite room?  whistling.gif
*
Nope, even in a quiet room u still need to talk a bit loud, not whisper hehehe.

why is it so hard to implement "hey cortana" feature on any lumia (include low end phone)?

Android's Ok Google can works on almost any phone as long as you installed Google Now Launcher

btw, Malaysia variant Lumia 1520 has built in wireless charging or need to use a cover? im planning to get a 1520
*
Because Microsoft used a function only available in Snapdragon 800 chipset. This allows "Hey Cortana" to work even if phone is locked, asleep & use almost no extra power doing so.

"OK Google" works well but unfortunately is a power hog. I switched back to normal launcher on my Nexus 7 2012.

"Hey Siri" needs your phone to be charging for it to work.

QUOTE(mf_yamato @ Mar 16 2015, 11:28 AM)
not really hard i say... it was all under the setting....
dun need to install anything....

1520 has build in wireless charging

My phone cannot rotate screen if location is on. If I off it, then only can rotate. =.=

Mine can rotate fine even with location on, just that it takes like 3 - 5 seconds to detect

ya. if you google it, I'm not the only that got this problem.

Yes, I think all Lumia 1520, 930, Icon users have this issue. I noticed this right after installing Denim. There's kind of a fix if you not willing to try phone full reset, which some ppl have said fixes the issue. I'm definitely not going to full reset my phone. With the latest update of Lumia Camera, I found that letting it stay in the task manager fixes the gyro issue. But this doesn't fix it 100% of the time or is it instant. I just leave it at the task manager, wait 10 mins then I find my gyro working pretty much like normal. If all fails, restart your phone. laugh.gif

In pc... I know.. When Windows reboot-loop it meant something happen with your ram memory... Not enough memory.
*
Actually that is wrong, in Windows if you have a reboot loop, it usually mean your memory is failing. Same thing with phone, this seems to indicate hardware issue already.

want to know the procedure for claiming warranty, anyone have experience can share? what should I bring? need to bring receipt//box?
I heard nokia care service very bad, worry my phone will become worse after sending to service center
*
My experience here in Kota Kinabalu is bring receipt & phone. Phone will definitely not come back looking pristine lah, maybe slight tool marks. Only issue is how long usually have to wait for them to fix the phone. This was my experience with my old Lumia 920

QUOTE(Silfer @ Mar 20 2015, 04:18 PM)
in the end i factory reset my phone. Now battery life seems to be normal and the camera issue resolved.
last time i update to denim, battery life sucks kao kao. I suspect when update got cacat. Now use insider pro to check say my battery life can tahan to 2 days.  shocking.gif
*
Ah ok, really have to factory reset the phone to fix it permanently. Great. Anyway since your phone just reset, insider pro won't be able to give correct battery life estimation. Usually this takes a week or 2 after u settle down with all the apps configured & background tasks running.

Phone heat up when playing normal 2D game for only 30mins.
Is a common issue?
*
Depends on what your definition of 2D game is haha. Most are actually 3D but put in 2D overlay. In fact these so called 2D games heat up more than some good well optimised 3D games.

QUOTE(ikram_p @ Mar 30 2015, 03:33 PM)
Yup.. Normal like that. Some game not fully optimize for Lumia n some game require high resource..try candy crush, if not hot after 30min. Your phone is good.
*
I won't say not fully optimize for Lumia, but not optimized for Windows Phone in general. Weirdly simple games like Candy Crush, Frozen Free fall heats up the phone quite badly.

Hope the flagship use w10, without degrading what Lumia 1520 has... Well feel like crying, the day where innovation n improvement stop in term of Camera r&d.
*
Well they did give us Lumia Camera 5, so still have camera software R&D hehe. But Lumia 1520 is actually a unique phone which sadly didn't sell well.

QUOTE(H3artBreakKid @ Apr 8 2015, 06:49 PM)
i doubt that though. demo-ing the wp10 with lumia 1520 seems like they wont intro a new flagship so soon. plus the OS itself already running so well on it without any hardware upgrades(using the current highest spec for windows phone, 1520/930/M8). the only thing they need to upgrade would be the camera, bring back 1020 camera spec!  rolleyes.gif

well could be possible also as they already made a few low & mid spec lumias with 'Microsoft' name infront  smile.gif
*
Microsoft already confirmed a flagship is only coming AFTER Windows 10 ships, which is Summer 2015. So I'm guessing July to August timeframe only. Also I doubt they will bring back 1020 camera spec. The idea is excellent but unfortunately not what the mass market wants. As have been shown by all other phone makers, ppl wants to be able to take pictures fast, with almost no delay to next shot, variable frame rate videos, on the fly filters & panoramas. Microsoft needs to get those basics covered well before thinking of putting more unique features else ppl will always complain. Now I love lossless zoom & Lumia Camera 5 so don't get me wrong, just that till today our beloved 1520 still can't do stuff like variable frame rate videos or even take good panoramas!!!

Anyway, the next W10 Technical Preview is coming this Saturday 1am MY time so get ready if you wanna try it brows.gif

Just now my battery 85% take picture using lumia camera 3 4 shot then phone shutdown. After restart left 10%..

Tonight I will update to w10. Grrrrrr

Yours really sound like hardware prob. W10 won't help since it actually sucks battery more.

I'm not sure what the main root cause. Because when I charge the phone reach 100% in 20minutes from 30%. Several people have same problem by referring to link I post before. Seems like battery not calibrated properly.
*
Yap that sounds like battery issue liau, not calibration prob. No OS update can help. Good luck with getting battery changed by yourself. Scary to me haha

Maybe 2 weeks later get new battery bought from ebay.

I'm quite technical person hehe.. So I think no problem.

Repaired laptop and some old phone by my self. Also have a air gun for repair my laptop 2 years ago.

Cool! I used to repair laptops also years ago haha. Phones nowadays just too hard to fix without leaving tool marks for me hehe.

Great phablet but over sensitive screen is driving me crazy. My 1020 is almost perfect except for slow camera. Now using 535 temporarily. Already tried all the solutions available online but no fix.
*
U mean 535 touch screen issues? I also using a 535 as 2nd phone. Have to say the touch screen issues r disappointing.

QUOTE(apecx92 @ Apr 11 2015, 01:08 AM)
anyone get the update. getting server error here.

The technical preview is up liau now. They had some server errors till like 2am or something. So who's gonna install it? Hehe

That is correct. Microsoft said if W10 not showing try again later.

QUOTE(fantasy1989 @ Apr 11 2015, 10:05 AM)
wp10 TP?

you select slow ring or fast ring?

slow ring = older update with fix

fast ring = new update without fix (more bug)
*
No slow ring for new insider users

QUOTE(acbc @ Apr 11 2015, 10:45 AM)
No. My 1520 has over sensitive touch screen. Very annoying. The 535 is ok. Less sensitive.
*
Oh ok. That's odd my 535 almost as sensitive as my 1520. Worse is the 535 have issue tracking 2 fingers or more accurately. I found that ever since I changed how I store my 1520 only on it's back, I've had very little phantom touch issue.

Well the preview is still in alpha mode, lots of bugs and glitches... Some app like office cant be launch n some apps game need to be reinstall. Read at wpcentral, they got some pretty good advice to install or to stick with current firmware.
*
Yes it's alpha stage now which is why I will only test on 535 hehe. Office is removed, not can't launch hehe. Specifically it's some apps on SD card will fail to open after upgrade. It's random unfortunately.

Ah ok. Well this is OS preview, was never meant to fix those bugs. Also the touch bug is actually hardware issue, not something that can be fixed with software.
