You picked one up via retail store or online ? Online still sold out.

Do you run/use gps ? Hows the battery with GPS turned on ?
*
Got it during the second sale on the Online Store, shipped here with a gateway service. been using for a few months i didnt really try a full Run on it, but the GPS can only be turned on if you select Run.

Battery life started with 36h-48h all time wearing with Heart monitor on + 7-8 hours sleep tracking (1 night), with the recent firmware upgrade battery life has gone up to 48h-60h 2x Sleep Tracking (2 nights).

Happy with the product rclxms.gif


Edit:- With current firmware it is only able to show English text font only, Chinese/jap/korean/thai/indian shows up in a block sweat.gif (It was only for sale in US for a reason)

Bro if you can find someone willing to open Internet Sharing on phone to you & he has got data to spare you could probably download the update.

Just so you know there is a slight chance of getting custom tax, i declared my item value as USD$199 over comgateway but to escape the tax normally ppl would declare a lower Value (but there is a risk in insurance) so it depends on you. I wasn't taxed (Lucky me) but some ppl got taxed when buying items around this figure. Taxed are minimum charged at 5% of total value declared then convert to RM

Find that restarting the Phone fix most of the rotation bug, but sometimes when taking picture with the new Lumia Camera V5 get real weird at some rotation angle when previewing picture in the app it self.

Any racing games that uses gyro to steer, Spiderman Unlimited (only the sections that use gyro like crawling on the wall, free falling). You try the games AFTER u used Lumia Camera, then you'll see what I mean.
*
Just thinking, did you force close the Lumia Camera after using it? because its now running on background starting from v5 ?

But this is not mocolo tempered glass screen protector right? This is dg film that u bought from leoyew right?

Im using Mocolo Tempered Glass, it looks the same like the picture above, the only problem is the none stick part is at the middle of the Front Camera, so it will have have ghost/shadow effect if you use the front camera. Try the other Tempered Glass that has a cut for Front Camera lens, I have checked all Tempered glass from the range of China to US & UK based branded Tempered Glass none of them will be 100% stick thats because Lumia 1520 has a Curved Gorilla Glass.

If you are worry that if the dust will go in the none stick part? I would say No it wont. The tempered glass actually sticks but not all the way.

"EHHH what phone is that, so big!"

1520 is second to none in terms of performance, and since I don't use my phone for games, I've found it hard to switch back to android, having tried HTC One (M7), (M8), Max, LG G3 in the past, always came back to my 1520. Only thing that changed was the colour tongue.gif

I bought mine Red Gloss color XD

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

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)

its just too bad we cant test "Hey Cortana, what song is this?" in Malaysia, or else we can give it a try.
