Hey cortana beta really hard to teach unless your english is good and clear. ...the browser cant do the efilling thing. Unsupported..:-(

just remember keyword will do

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.

Fuihh, nice set of gadgets. Hahaha my Cortana is like my girlfriend: always pretending she never heard me.

"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"

Wow cool!!! How's comfortable is Microsoft Band? All reviews point to it being uncomfortable.

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.

The Band is ok its quiet comfortable for me, but maybe it wont be for everyone? some people have big wrist bone the part that pokes out? I do always wear it during sleep time. (Only times that's not Hot which makes me go sweaty)

Retraining her in different tones?

kinda hard

its took me 20 time repeating " hey cortana" !! nearly gave up!

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

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. Thanks!

yeah, look like cortana love to hear you whispering to her in quite room?

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.

Nope, even in a quiet room u still need to talk a bit loud, not whisper hehehe.

Still far to reach siri level.. Where hey siri can distinguish sound n hs noise cancellation. But i still love how cortana react wth us, not a boring assisstnt.. Probbly tke time for cortana to reach puberty..

Hey guys, just bought a used but mint condition 1520. Coming from the 925, I must say that this phone is on another level. So far, I'm pretty happy with the switch.

Unfortunately, the phantom touche issue is here but it doesn't detract from the whole user experience.

Anyone playing modern combat 5 here? Do u find that the gyroscope is too sensitive? Don't know is it gameloft or only my device problem...

Anyone knows of a good app for Dai Di / Big 2?
The store only carries Poker which is just Texas Hold em Poker..
I just wanted to play a few rounds without usingreal money.

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

not really hard i say... it was all under the setting....
dun need to install anything....

1520 has build in wireless charging

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.

See my answer above

power consumption mia problem kot


just like they dont want to put 4k recording into dual core phone because it's not fully supported

they dont want to integrate it ..in the end u guys complain ..not smooth la ..not working la ...etc
