Nokia 1520 camera

I don't seem to get how to zoom with the 1520 camera. Has it got the facility?

Hi larryday,
Are you using the Nokia Camera? If so, you can zoom Nokia Camera with only one finger. To zoom in, swipe up, and to zoom out, swipe down. If you are using the built in camera app, you need to flick the screen with two fingers to zoom in and zoom out.

Nokia 1520 camera grip?

Hi!
I'm looking for some help to reach nokia for an idea. I would like to purchase the lumia 1520 and use the phone camera as my main point and shoot. However, a good grip and tripod mount compatibility option is a must for me. I saw the PD-95G camera grip for the lumia 1020. It would be nice if this accessory case was available and then also with an equivalent 3400 MaH battery in the accesorry. Does anyone know if one is in the make for the lumia 1520? If not is there any third party that comes close to such a case? If not, does anyone know how I can get in touch with microsoft?
Thanks.

I used the grip you reference when shooting video for portfolio assessments with my special education students. They were mightily impressed that my camera could also make telephone calls.
I'm trying to think if there were any down sides to using this grip/battery/cover/tripod mount with the Lumia 1020 and the only one that comes to mind is it holds the Lumia 1020 quite firmly and can be difficult to remove the device from the cover at the end of a long day of shooting and interacting with a classroom of wonderful but challenging students with intellectual disabilities.
In the past I used the Nokia N8-00 and the Nokia tripod mount that extended to hold the phone. This year I used both and found the grip to be a much more stable approach. If Nokia develops one for the Lumia 1520 you will want to grab it. I have two for my Lumia 1020 because the videos are mission critical in my job.
3390 - 6103b - 6133 - 6290 - 6301b - N78-3 - 5610d-2b XpressMusic - 5800d-1b XpressMusic, N900 RX-51, N8-00, C7 Astound, 808 Pureview, Lumia 1020.
Nicer phones and still no one calls me!

Lumia 1520 camera error

My lumia 1520 camera is always going black and sometimes it goes black and purple lines. I can't capture anything. I brought this from another country and now i haven't warranty in my country please help me to fix this.......
I'm not perfect in English so i think you can understand what I'm trying to tell... Please help me

hi mate, u will need to get in touch with your retailer that you bought it from and demand a replacement. otherwise try performing a hard reset first and if that doesn't work, then use Nokia Software Recovery Tool.

View Photos in Nokia 1520

Hi,
I am using Nokia 1520, while taking photos and viewing it, it is said that it will show only a 5MP photo in the phone (easy for sharing). My question here is how to view the original 20 MP High Quality pictures? Even i tried connecting to PC and searched for it but not able to find any.
Appreciate your help
Vinoth

Hi JVinoth,
Welcome to the forum!
Did you use the default camera app to take the 5MP images? If yes, you can use the Nokia Camera app to take and view photos with higher resolution. Just launch the Nokia Camera app, tap More (...) > Settings. You can change the Capture mode from JPEG (5MP) to JPEG (5MP)+(19MP for 4:3 Aspect ratio, or 16MP for 16:9). This means that though the Lumia 1520 has a 20MP camera sensor, the maximum resolution that it can take is 19MP.
Once you take photos using Nokia Camera, you can try viewing the high resolution images using a PC.
Let us know the outcome.

1520 Camera not working

The camera of my new, out of the box Nokia 1520 does not work. Tapping Nokia Pro Cam turns the screen black. Tapping Camera turns the screen black shows the text 'Allow the camera to use your location?" briefly, before returning to the previous screen.
Is there any help for this issue?

first at all be sure you upgraded phone OS to latest version
be sure you upgraded system OEM Nokia apps to latest version (app called SysApp Pusher can help you with that http://windowsphone.com/s?appId=19d44d9e-f18e-4df1-9bce-36335242ed2e and be sure you installed Nokia Camera app... set default camera app to Nokia Camera (under setting, slide to applications)...
if problem continue, make hard reset from settings - about - reset my phone
My phone: The queen and one and only: Lumia 920... ruler of the smartphones...

Nokia 1520 shortcomings and lack of proper support

I have been given a Nokia 1520 as a gift (after i had suggested i liked it). I have owned it for 3 weeks roughly and it's been a total saddening experience. Amongst the countless issues i am meeting are:
- The infamous oversensitive display issue. Can't type any sms or email straigth without having multiple characters repeated over and over. This also means that while i try to scroll the screen i happen to open unwanted apps or unwanted links in the browser or in newsreaders. Also, trying to select a tile to resize/unpin it, it most often results in opening it countless times before i actually manage to unpin.
- Lack of a keyboard allowing me to input Traditional Chinese with Pinyin (It was requested in 2011, ie 3 years ago).
- Timed stroke writing for chinese characters means that if you are too slow (as most westerners writing chinese are) you can't even write characters (maximum timing is 0,8 secs).
- Lack of any form of quick input like swiping or so. Multiple issues also at downloading languages for the keyboard. A nightmare.
- The OS won't allow users to select single words or place the cursor in a specific position inside a word. This can be done in some places but not everywhere.
- Bing Translator honestly sucks and there is a huge shortage of dictionaries and language related resources in the market (nothing comparable to Pleco or Hanping
- Lack of a decent notification bar and a LED telling people they got mail or messages or calls when the phone is muted. This caused me to lose two important jobs.
- Very poor/shaky reception for the phone and Internet. Where my Galaxy Note 2 works full broadband, the Nokia connection goes up and down or is none at all.
- I took the device to Nokia Support Centre in Taipei and the person in charge was a kid who not only didn't know anything about the, now well known, issues of the device but he also got very arrogant, talking carelessly and with a very bad attitude and claiming "people shouldn't buy phones without being able to use them" and "if you tried it before why you complain now?". Tested the phone for 2 seconds and he decided it had no issues, so apparently no chances to have the phone sent for a repair/substitution.
Is this the path Nokia and Microsoft are taking with Windows Phone?
I am so disappointed that i am considering reselling the thing and going back from where i came from, IE Android.
It's a shame Nokia hasn't learned how to treat users yet. I am particularly disappointed at the defective device and at the attitude of the part time, lazy, sleepy teenagers they use in Taipei to cover the service making customers run (or worse since some of those guys really push your patience far above the limits, maybe they don't like foreigners or they are scared at speaking English, whatever it is, it's very uneasy and unpleasant). I have never seen such a bad service for a such a malfunctioning device in my life. I have owned maybe 20 or more devices to date (including old Windows Phones) and never had so many negative experiences piled up all together at the same time
I just wish i had been given a device with some other OS rather than a device with a Beta version of an OS supported by part time staff.

This would appear to be a genuine issue with the 1520. Do not have one so could not comment
- Yes indeed i can grant you it's genuine. Haven't sent an email in the last 2 weeks. Just too frustrating.
I know there is several Chinese language settings but as I am not Chinese could not comment beyond this is not something Nokia could do anything about as it is a core OS issue and not a hardware/firmware one.
- Well, it's easy to see if you have doubts. Enter: Settings-Keyboard and go search for any form of input that says "Traditional Chinese with Pinyin (PinYIn is the romanization of chinese characters. You type say "Wo" and the chinese character for "I" pops up amongst other choices. This has been existing from day 1 in any decent keyboard. It has been requested at MS suggestion board 3 years ago. Is still to be implemented. I find it hard to think how they can sell these phones here (especially considering the relations between China and Taiwan and the fact they use simplified/traditional respectively). It's not only a mad marketing move, it's also politically sensitive. No one normal does that here, believe me.
There's several swiping keyboard shortcuts such as typing special characters or numerals (tap hold the 123 key and swipe to the desired character)
- Sure, then do one thing. Download any swiping keyboard on an Android device and then compare the speed at which you type and amend words. The WP keyboard is primitive. The fact you can't resize it combined with the screen oversensitiveness make it useless. Other Nokias are much much better, but you can't beat a real swipe keyboard, especially if you type as a profession. How can someone use such a keyboard on a device in 2014 is beyond me and and anyone else who has used an Android but even a Blackberry in old times. It's simply inefficient compared to anything else out there. Then we can argue on what we like or not but surely not on its lack of productivity compared to else (whatever else)
As long as the app does not use it's own code anywhere you want to enter text tap and hold to have the cursor appear and swipe to the location wanted.
- Then do a test. Take an email sent by someone else. Then go to the portion of text he sent you in the REPLY mail you are writing and try to select one of the SENDER's words. You'll see it's impossible. Then move down and try to select a single word of your reply. You'll see it can be done. Different menus pop up based on where you are or which app you are.
Same is TEXT PREDICTION. It works in some places, doesn't in others, even when you'd need it
Never used it, as far as I heard especially since tha latest (recent) update this got a lot better)
You don't. Try to be a foreigner permanently based abroad and the usefulness of these tools (Dictionaries, translators, etc.) will appear immediately, especially when you have to handle or even study characters based on ideograms. Now, Android (Which i insist in saying i don't like due to their philosophy), offers not only a good mobile translating app (including a function where you take a picture then just scroll your finger on the words you want to be translated and translation pops up in a moment) but if you don't like it you can also find a wide choice of tools (Pleco and Hanping being among them and their developers having no intention to expand on WP for now and some not even in the future). In this perspective, what for you is useless or secondary, for people like me (and other expats who do business and work abroad) is a killer application. Google got it. Microsoft and Nokia, it seems, don't.
Never understood the obsession with a notification bar when your apps and services all give up constant updates and notifications on their tiles. I would not want a blinking light on my phone ever. If you are unable to check your phone even once an hour that is really not the phone or OS problem. Don't try and pin your own negligence on the phone that just makes you look silly.
Let's try to be constructive. This OS must not be built based on what you as Blog Admin like or don't like. It has to be built to cater for a wide range of users. Now, you don't like that led because apparently your tiles make you happy. I, don't spend all my day watching tiles. I work too so the phone goes in standby and since it's permanently muted (no ring, no vibration), LED is key to understand when i get emails or sms' or other notifications. I am not asking a multicolour LED as in Samsung devices (which allow you to assign a colour and vibration combination to different accounts so you understand based on colour and vibration what is important and what is not; but at least a basic primitve LED telling people "Hey you got mail or SMS". If it's not a LED, a screen notification waking up the phone from standby would to as well. As far as i know it's not present. It was present in many Android devices as both standard or third party app since the very first basic versions.
So you use a Note2 and 1520 at the same time? this may well have nothing to do with the phone and it won't be the first time it turns out a WiFi router is actually at fault.
So what do you do? Go to Starbucks and tell everyone to stop using the free Wi-Fi because your Nokia 1520 needs a dedicated connection and i threaten to suit Starbucks for not letting the King have the whole bandwidth for itself?
Galaxy works fine. Nokia doesn't, especially when broadband gets weaker (Taipei has Wi-Fi also on Metro wagons and any restaurant or other outlet you may think of). Core point is everyone is there reading their content on their mobiles. I am there trafficking with settings and **bleep**. Ended up using my Galaxy which works fine.
Those are not Nokia owned nor operated stores, go complain to them
Let me explain you a basic of marketing so you understand when it's not the case to defend a brand beyond reasonable limits even when you administer their blog.
If i, as a customer, enter a BLUE SHOP carrying a big, huge, NOKIA brand with all people wearing Nokia shirts i (and the other 23 million users who almost stopped to buy Nokia in Taiwan) assume whoever is running it, is running it on behalf of Nokia (Officially or unoficially doesn't matter as they get the license to sell from Nokia in any case). So, if your licensee works good, people are happy and buy more; if the staff shows signs of laziness, arrogance, treating adults without respect, showing ignorance on device's issues (They didn't even know about the global issue of oversensitiveness or about keyboards...the phone was an alien in their hands), people RUN. And i did RUN.
If you combine the bad support with the fact that the device is actually malfunctioning and lacks a lot of basic functions that in 2014 are given for granted, i beg to think that the only users left once they try the phone for one or two weeks will be some Fans of the brand and a few people who need it to watch movies and take pictures but you don't need a phablet for that. When you sell a bad device and have an as bad support that instead of solving the issue denies it you are turning the market in a self-help environment where users get angered (And you can see how many there are about Lumias and 1520 starting to get on top of the list). So, as much as you and I may stay argue in your blog, i think that if this issue is not solved this OS doesn't have much future.
Finally, a phablet is a sophisticated device where screen size, hardware and software package combine to offer a certain experience that ranges from entertainment to work IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT (Not in your garden, in your living room or when you show off the device to friends to let them see all those useless tiles which you can't even interact with as they open when you want to resize them etc. due to the bad screen). It means the device must be ready and functional in your country or in mine or wherever you live. In this case, Galaxy and their cheap plastic trash got it right with the Note family. Others like HTC and Nokia are lagging behind and 1520 in this respect is not helping people who want to jump from Android to Windows Phone to make that jump.
Test the device simulating the job a professional user doess (typing mails all the time, text messages, interacting with web content, copy/paste, translating and sharing data, sending data to other apps in a snap), then multiply that for 7 days a week and then experience the frustration accumulating day after day. In my case, this is further amplified by the fact that i come from a device that has spoilt me allowing me to do things in a snap.
This phone, as is, is no game!

OS version, 8.10.14157.200, no longer works with bluetooth in my car - Nokia 1520

I installed OS version, 8.10.14157.200 on my Nokia 1520 and now the Bluetooth connection to my car is choppy and can't hear the other party on the call, nor can they hear me. It will allow me to connect to the car but doesn't work at all. I did select the
advanced connection option but results were the same.
Any suggestions?

I just fixed it on mine somehow.
What I did:
- Took RDC out of full screen mode
- Dragged the RDC window over to the MBP monitor from my secondary monitor
- Quit RDC hoping it would remember it's on the MBP monitor.
- Started RDC back up and it opened on both monitors.
No idea what in there worked, but it's working now.
Good luck.

Nokia Pro Cam photos post-processing makes yellowi...

Hello there! I'm here to report a common problem which happens while taking pics with Nokia Pro Cam on my lumia 920. When you take a pic it has right colours and is very sharp but after apps' post-processing the pic turns yellowish and a bit softer. It doesn't look too good after that treatment. I'm asking for patch that would prevent this problem. While I was at Windows Phone central-forums I saw that I'm not alone with this issue.
There is photos when one can see this issue.
First is just after taking pic and second is after processing it. I guess one can see very clear difference.

I see the same thing on my 620 (yes, I know Pro Cam is not officially supported by the 620 and would not work as good as on 920 or 1020, but I found a way to get it the interface is just so much better)
When I take a picture with manual focus, in the screen the pic looks sharp, but when i open the gallery, it changes (wll, postprocesses) to blurry
just a reminder, using unsupported apps may cause serious hardware problems in short/long term. i'm sure u won't be happy when u see melting plastic parts and some smoke on your device

Nokia 1520 Screen Sencitivity Problem

Hi..I have nokia 1520..for last 2-3 days i m facing problem of screen sencitivity. I m opening messages bing is opening. Screen is geeting minimize autometically. Please let me know what should do?

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!

Nokia Pro Cam: Color Temperature / Balance

As a creative I purchased this phone as to take better photos. As it does that sometimes others the auto color balance doesn't get it correct. Using the limited manual settings isn't very good either as usually they are worse. If anyone at nokia reads this would you please consider adding in 3-4 steps between each color balance setting so if say "sunny" is too warm you can go a step in one direction or the other to fine tune how it looks. Adding this feature would really make it a better application and help get perfect photos everytime. As of now the iphone auto color balance tends to look betteer, eventhough the quality of the Nokia images are better if the color isn't as pleasing then its all for nothing. Please add finer color balance / color temperature controls to the Nokia Pro Cam application!!

Photoshop CC has made Camera RAW available as a filter. That means it is easy to use it on video.
Can you do anything in Camera RAW to a video that you can't do the hard way with color correction and levels, etc, in Premiere Pro? No. Is it easier because you are used to the sliders? You bet!
This first frame is from a video I shot to test the codecs my camera can use. The trees are rather dark, because, well, I didn't care when I shot the video. I was concerned with the movement of the juggling toys.
But if I take it into Photoshop and use Camera RAW I can do very quickly what would take a lot longer, for me, in Premiere Pro. You will have to take my word for it that the color of the shirt in the corrected frame is more realistic. The Camera RAW settings were pretty much what I do to almost all of my photographs. Very slight adjustment to exposure, a little clarity, bring out the shadows, bring down the highlights that are too white and bring up the contrast.

Nokia 1520 Usability

Hi,
I have been using Nokia 1520, Nokia Lumina Black Edition Windows Phone 8 for about 2 month, I find the phone really lack of basic functionality. Compare to Android and iOS.
Does anyone know where Bluetooth Shared File Store on Windows Phone 8?
I've been scratching my head about this one, no file manager so where does the Bluetooth shared files(pdf) store ?, Tried the Office Hub Icon (It is not in the document folder).
I have also notice that you only have one chance (and I must said one chance) to open with an appropriate app.
If you missed that chance, you can't find it (even it is already downloaded).
For example:
After the file finish downloaded onto Nokia 1520, you'll see a message tap to view done ... on top of the screen, you need to choose the appropriate app to open it.
Problems:
1. When a file finish transfer my phone go into powersaving mode (or lock screen), I then tap on the message while I am on the Lock screen (That it I have lost the opportunity to find my file) - (Once Chance).
2. You can send multiple file, but you can only tap once on the message (One Chance)
My annoying work around is to re-send the file (That mean there is another copy somewhere that use up my phone storage).
Another mind bloggling thing about Bluetooth Connection, I've seen question in the forum about bluetooth connection.
After the phone is paired with PC (You click on connect, it would connect for a few second and then disconnect, I was always under the impression that it mean the bluetooth is not working when it was disconnected after a few second).
From what I have understand so far is, Bluetooth connection only stay connect during file share and then disconnect.
I think if this is by design, then Nokia should documented some where that it is not mean to stay connected.
Can't Open PDF Link
When visit site that does not return file type of pdf (you have no way of open/download the document) as it is become unsupported document type event if you surf the Store.
Can't Easily Share file between program.
Let said if I have a pdf document on the phone, I want to open up in different PDF Reader Program. I have to put into the Document Folder for Office Hub to recognize then I can select which Program to Open With (No setting for Default Program - you have to select every single time).
Each Program that you open with seem to get a copy of this same file.
Viewing Multiple Account in 1 Mail Program
(This really need to have it own topic, since it have so many gotcha).
1. Linked Mail (Not obvious, someone in this forum was able to point me to this functionality) to allow viewing multiple mail account from 1 program (but this have it own limitation - you can't distinct which account the email is coming from unless you open the email and find there is a small text with the account name).
2. When you are creating a Draft email and you switch to another app, how do you switch back to your draft. You have to Tap and Hold on the Back Key (<-) then find the draft email that you are currently composing.
3. How do you find the sent folder for the mail account?
You have to Tap on ... Then select folders ( Not as simple as Android or iOS, just swipe/tap a button to show all the folder).
Viewing Video File
1. There is no option to lock the key, alot of time I accidentally tapped to the next section of the movies.
2. No easy access to the volumn control on screen when play back the movie.
PDF Viewer.
I am still waiting for a Good PDF Reader (With basic functionality, Highlight, Adding Bookmark).
I have try Acrobat Reader (But look like no one interested in improving it, the program is not optimized for Nokia 1520, therefore text is not very clear, I have raise the issue but no response).
I have sent the feed back to Microsoft regarding the default PDF Reader (Can't add bookmark, No Highlight), but no response. I guess, I am only a small fish in the pond.
ePub Viewer.
I am not sure is it me or what, most of the ePub Reader is Line Justified which leave a big gap between the text and it really annoy me, but no setting to turn this off.
Regards Dat.

And add up A) Oversensitive screen that doesn't allow you to type properly B) Lack of Traditional Chinese with Pinyin insertion (been asked first in 2011) C) Lack of consistency in when it allows you to select one single word or position the cursor accurately VS selecting whole words (It's OS selected not like Android that allows you to do what you want) D) Terrible support both online and in person (In Taipei i had a terrible experience) E) Free gift vouchers that you can't use because either your email or your current location DO NOT MATCH the gift card. In short it sucks 360°
