NL 1520 problems :(

I bought my Nokia Lumia 1520 in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia a while back! it was the last piece left. after 1 month of usage, my camera button stopped working (it could focus, just couldn't take pictures). I adjusted some how but now my power button also stopped working!(it works when I long press it). the thing is both the button work when I press them with the volume down button I don't know whether it's a hardware problem or a software problem. help me please!! now I'm in a totally different country so I can't give it for repair I guess?? I live in India now.

hi mate, you will need to liaise with the business you bought the phone from and see if they will honour you. if not, you may try Microsoft India.

Nokia Lumia 1520 having problems with Voyager Lege...

I recently purchased Nokia Lumia 1520 and I am having some problems with Plantronics Voyager Legend. Before 1520 I was using HTC Radar 4G with Plantronics Voyager Legend and I don't have any problems. The problems that I am having are, when I am on a call using the Plantronics Voyager Legend the voice of the person will automatically switched between Plantronics Voyager Legend and 1520 through out the entire conversation back and forth. It does read all my text messages without any problems. Another problem is on my HTC Radar 4G once I turn on the Bluetooth under setting Bluetooth stays on even after I reboots the phone. On 1520 after rebooting the phone Bluetooth is off automatically by the Windows 8. Why does it do that? Are there any workaround or fixes for my issues

My Voyager Legend firmware is up to date. This Voyager Legend works with all my others electronics without any problems. Problem with Nokia Lumia 1520 only. I think the problem is 1520 Windows 8 OS. I am waiting on Plantronics to contact me but looks like I am at the bottom of the list. Does anyone know why after rebooting the 1520, Nokia Windows 8 OS automatically turn the Bluetooth off in setting, under Bluetooth everytime?

Nokia Lumia 1520 - Screen Brightness Problem

I have two Nokia Lumia 1520.
Both of them have the same problem. I will explain the problem to you in detail and before that let me assure you I am a Windows Phone long time user , have been part of the development , developed several apps for the platform and I have used Lumia 800 , 720 , 920 , 925 and now 1520. So I am well aware of all the settings , sunlight readability , automatic brightness etc. This problem is not due to any of these , I can assure you
Now the problem ,
I set the automatic brightness option OFF
I move the brightness to HIGH
Then I lock the phone
When I unlock the phone , the brightness drops by 10% suddenly without any intervention
This problem happens sometime. Some days I see this problem , some days I don't and there are few days where I see this problem very heavily.
I purchased another 1520 and it has the same problem. I am very sure , from my experience that this is a firm ware issue. This is NOT a hardware problem , but a serious problem from your software end. It is prudent that Nokia recognizes this problem and finds a solution to this. Interestingly , I am not the only one who is facing this problem , the whole globe is facing the same problem and for such a pricey phone , this is a frustrating experience - very frustrating. I am sending some links , which will show the problems users are facing:

The phone is rock solid and amazing except this irritating problem.
I have only few days within which I can request a exchange from the merchant. So if any Nokia official can confirm that a software fix is on the way , it would be super helpful
Nokia , please help !

I have Nokia Lumia 1520 Black.
I have also been facing the same problem with screen brightness.
The problem occurs only when the Brightness is in Automatic mode.
--> When the Brightness is set to Automatic mode & take out from dark location to bright location the display turns out to weird grey color.
--> And then if the brightness is set to low, medium or high display comes to normal.
Is this issue related to the hardware or software.
If it is related to the Software will you be able to fix it ? or else How about the replacing with the new one ?
Awaiting for the response.

Both issues are related to the hardware buttons at the bottom. To me, sounds like a hardware issue. Give your phone back to your dealer, who sends it over to a local but genuine Nokia Care Centre!

Problem with SD card files on Lumia 1520

Dear all, my Lumia 1520 keeps giving problems with files on SD card.
I normally put pictures and music files on the SD card but everytime when I restart the phone, all the files on SD card disappear. According to the WP app all the files are turned into other data and I have checked that a hidden file (with no data type) could be found in the SD folder with the equivalent size of all the files I put on the SD card.
What can I do about it?

I also noticed this issue with a Sony 64GB microSD card. I had some pictures/videos on this new card and suddenly all disapeared. The card space used by some files is displayed under "other" and phone message says something about the file format is unrecognizable hence it has placed them under "other" to be managed by the user via PC but I don't see "other" folder when my phone is connected to the laptop with Windows 7.
Can someone on this forum help me?

Real Mail Problems On Lumia 1520

Just got my first Windows phone, because I have always used Windows... remember 3.1? I have used Androids and iPhones - but never great fit for work AND home use. So, there is enough software available on tablets to start making them a real business tool. But who wants to carry around a tablet and a phone? I am sorry, I move around and work in a lot of different businesses, so a backpack or a messenger bag just is not an option. So I look at and play with a demo Nokia Lumia 1520 - wow - looks great, pretty light, pretty thin, beautiful screen, responsive, Office - hey, maybe I do not need a tablet and a phone after all!! The keyboard is a really nice size and if Microsoft proportions it better in 8.1 it would ROCK. I can actually fill out forms and do some real work on this. Not to mention a lot of the new features of 8.1 - this looked like a real keeper. Researched and it has some nice reviews. All of the reviews I have read were pretty positive - no major problems mentioned.
Bought it. Brought it home and started to set it up. I have never had a problem setting up my work e-mail on any android or iPhone I have ever used. I work for a non-profit which by law has to have a secure mail system. Like I said, I have never had a problem setting up mail before on any android or iPhone. But it is a "no go" with the Nokia 1520. This became over 8 hours of reasearch and talking to Microsoft Support. Guess what - because the 1520 has an SD card capability and cannot encrypt the SD card, the phone cannot be used with Exchange Mail if it requires security settings. Remember, by law my mail has to be secure. So when I try to use my e-mail I get the message "...requires that certain security policies be enforced before you can sync your information. Contact a support person or your service provider. Last tried x minutes ago with error code 85010013"
My phone calls to my office phone are digitized and sent to me through secure e-mail. Opps - no longer get phone messages easily. Cannot get work e-mail unless I bring a computer, another phone, a tablet, or go back to my office between travels. That size advantage has just disappeared. The phone is not a brick, but it is close to it. I think that Nokia should put a warning on their web site, along with Microsoft and ATT, that "THIS PHONE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SYNC WITH ALL EMAIL ACCOUNTS"
OK - 1520 uses Microsoft OS, mail uses Microsoft Exchange, and they cannot work together. This problem has been known for quite some time now. No patch. No solution. Microsoft is aware of the problem. When I asked if they were working on a solution the reply was do not count on it - they may or may not be - they do not announce patches. So for a $600 phone(I got 32gb) would you take a chance that maybe sometime down the road that phone MIGHT be able to access secure mail? Do they expect to sell this phone to a lot of business clients with corporate e-mail accounts? To be honest - I see this as being a No Brainer. Obviously, ATT, Nokia, and Microsoft have... What a waste for what would otherwise be a great phone!

I'm having the EXACT same problem.

Problem sensitivity of the screen on Nokia 1520

I'm very disappointed with the problem of Nokia 1520 screen sensitivity. I will never again rely on Nokia.
They expect to fix the problem with an update. Nothing more. Thank you

sorry to hear the problems you are having. i assume you have checked and installed the latest firmware for your device. have you also installed the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store, and performed a soft reset?

Nokia Lumia 1520 out-of-the-box problem

I just got the Nokia Lumia 1520 from Germany and I took it out of the box all good and pretty, but when then I go and charge it since it didn't turn on at first (I have this british charger and a european adapter) and put it in the phone. I left it for a while to charge since the windows start button started flashing and now when I turn it on, it shows the Nokia start screen, then it shows that it's charging and then there comes a blue screen that flashes and it vibrates after that. Again the Nokia start screen shows and the blue screen flashes again, vibrates and Nokia screen again and so it goes endlessly!
I have never gotten it to start it just flashes the blue screen and turns off again
See the video:

WHAT DO I DO HELP!

Sounds to me like the charger you are using is not powerful enough. Are you using the charger that came with the phone? You mentioned adaptors etc so thought you may be charging with another charger. You could also try charging with high output usb chargers, typically ones for tablets.

Dell Inspiron 1520 - disk problem

Hi. I have Dell Inspiron 1520 and even if I set hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda or 255, disk still makes clicking noises. Hdparm command fixed that in ubuntu, here it doesn't. Is there any other way to stop clicking? Ty.

Disabling disk power mangement in the BIOS worked for me. If that doesn't to the trick, is the hdparm command getting run at every boot (appending it to /etc/rc.local is an easy way)?
cheers,

Rotated photos problem on Lumia 930, 1520 with Denim update

There is an issue with photos taken on Lumia 930, 1520 with Denim update: camera uses EXIF rotation property instead of properly rotating the picture. As a result, apps which don't properly support EXIF.Rotation show photos rotated.
To reproduce, take the photo in vertical orientation on Lumia 930 with Denim update. Open Instagram official app (as an example), try adding new photo ->> you'll see that the photo is 90 degrees rotated.
Now question: is it a feature or is it a bug?
And if it is a feature, where is it documented?

Thanks for reply.
Well, I am a developer writing my own app. And what I see is a sudden change in phone camera behavior, which affects and annoys lots and lots of users of my app (VK for WP), Telegram messenger app, and Instagram app, which I used as an example, because
it is well known.
It does seem like a feature to me now, so would't it make sense to have some native support for it? For example, make BitmapImage pay attention to EXIF and correctly rotate?
And again: is this change documented anywhere?
And please, bring my question where it was originally posted.

Cheque printing problems on Epson 1520

Hi there,
I am having problems trying to print cheques on an Epson Stylus 150. I have created a 'Z' version of device type EPESCP2. To this device type I have added format ICI (which is the closest match to our cheque size). When I try print some cheques nothing is output to the printer. I am wondering whether I need to change the actions in the format for the Printer intialisation and Reset after exit. Below is what the current entries are which is what I had taken from the actions held in device type DINA4. Does anyone know what should be entered against the actions?
If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.
Printer initialisation
reset
\e\0x40
designate codepage IBM 850 for slot 0
\e\0x28\0x74\0x03\0x00\0x00\0x03\0x00
select codepage from slot 0
\e\0x74\0x00
set line spacing 6 LPI
\e\0x32
set page length to DINA4 (=70 lines at 6 LPI)
\e\0x43\0x46
cancel bottom margin
\e\0x4F
set left margin to 0
\e\0x6C\0x00
select LQ quality
\e\0x78\0x01
select non-proportional spacing
\e\0x70\0x00
Reset after exit
no action

Hi B. Richards,
To solve these kinda of problems please consultant a BASIS guy who can only help You out.
Are else create a Customized page format for Cheque printing and then create this page format in Device types thru SPAD T-code and then try to print..

1520 USB charging problem

I have a 1520 that wont charge over usb using the supplied charger which works as I've tried it on another phone. It either stays at a percentage and doesn't move or actually discharges whilst plugged in although every indication is that its charging normally, wireless charging works though. Anything I can do or is it back for repairs ?

Try to press and hold the power and volume down buttons for about 10-15 seconds until the phone vibrates. You may have to reset the date and time after your phone restarts. Hope this helps.

Ext3+dir_index vs JFS, XFS, ReiserFS. Choice problem

I'm a linux noob.
Going to install Archlinux to new laptop Inspiron 1520
Right now playing with Archlinux on vmware.
I want my laptop be fast, and of course choosing right FS is important in this regard.
Let me sum up all i read so far about different FS.
ext3 vs XFS, JFS, ReiserFS:
- ext3 is most stable, most supported. But also slowest.
- XFS, JFS, Reiser are much faster, but have stability and or support problems.
- ext3 with dir_index is fast, almost as fast as others.
- noatime,nodiratime considerably improve performance of all these FS
So here are my questions.
1. Will ext3 + dir_index + noatime,nodiratime be up to the par with XFS,JFS ?
2. Does disr_index enabled by default on latest Arch or do I have to enable it manually ?
3. What other advantages besides speed JFS,XFS have comparing to ext3 ?

Yes indeed fragmentation can cause a significant penalty in performance, especially if you are copying large, very fragmented files. But for a desktop system people usually deal with smaller files than ones downloaded in large torrents; at least that was my impression for my previous post. The thing about XFS being designed as it is, is that it doesn't handle fragmentation of large files well. Basically, the extensive use it makes of B+ trees make it particularly cpu intensive for working with reads that are non-continuous and hence is particularly hurt when copying highly fragmented, large files. This isn't quite as pronounced in JFS (but the performance hit is there) because it's cpu usage isn't as high as XFS; and it's algorithms are more optimized for working with smaller continuous reads than XFS (to my understanding). This is probably the main reason why XFS has a defragmentor and JFS does not.
One thing that fragmentation of a JFS filesystem will have a major effect on is performance of a VMware virtual machine whose image is highly fragmented on JFS. I mentioned this in the wiki article. If you use VMware with a growing image, I recommend somewhat regular defragmenting of the JFS partition, otherwise the VM will be significantly impeded. I imagine this situation is true for other file systems other than JFS. Also, if you torrent frequently with large files, then I would suggest regular JFS defragmenting in this scenario as well.
Gullible Jones wrote:Re JFS data loss: bug reports have been filed. See here and here.
The first report is most likely due to the fact that JFS journals metadata only. This is also the case with XFS, Reiser, and ext3 (with the popular journal=writeback implementation). Caching data losses like the first bug report seems to describe what has been known to happen with other file systems on linux and not JFS. Nonetheless, JFS has never hidden the fact that it journals metadata only as journaling both metadata and actual file data incurs a big performance hit.
The second bug report could easily be a hardware failure. Indeed with both the log and no inodes being dumped to the lost+found directory, I would not jump to judgment that this was necessarily a JFS issue as that would imply JFS failing in SEVERAL different places. It is more likely that the issue was one with hardware.
As I said before, neither one of these show that JFS conclusively looses files in its own right. If you really require journaling of both metadata and file data, then ext3 is the only option for linux (with no journaling /etc/fstab optimizations); JFS and other journaling file systems don't do this as it significantly reduces performance.
Anyway, I am done going on about this; if people are hellbent on believing JFS looses files, so be it. Personally, I have never had a data loss issue with JFS despite years of use and abuse in the spectrum of possible hardware and software configurations.
