Lumia 520 wifi reception

Hey guys,I have become a great hater of Lumia 520...i only wish I didn't buy it.its said I can only update my phone os through WiFi connection...but every time I connect the farthest it downloads is 13%..then either restarts the whole process again.not to mention that the 13% it goes takes an hour.ill say pole deserve options,if I can afford to update through mobile data I should be able to do so,and if Nokia did so much care they could also have made it possible to download via PC and use USB cable to update.i hate it when I buy stuff with my little cash then someone makes decision on how to do what I want to do.lastly..nokia back then in the good days was the fone everyone used.u ddnt need to mention the brand only the make like say...3310,1100,etc.what happened,that young green smaller companies are making user friendly phones that fly off the shelf?like say,huawei,bird,etc...ill tell you,Nokia chose to use windows os while other bright brands go android,I wish's there was a way to change to android.i am greatly dissapointed and I'm having a hard time not to smash it on the wall.can someone from Nokia reply to me or I go on rampage on my blogs discrediting this piece of wood.i may not achieve much but I'll make sure whoever sees this dsnt fall where I fell .********@live.com.

  • Lumia 520 wifi

    I've searched for the issue but haven't found anything.My 520 connects to my home wifi and works great but will sometimes act like it has no connection to the wifi at all.I'll check the wifi settings and it'll show its fully connected to it but i have to turn the wifi off and then back on for it to start working again.If i'm missing something maybe a certain router setting for example i'd appreciate any help!!!

    I just got my lumia 520 and it cant connect to my my homenetwork wifi....my other android phone connect with no problem...i already reset my phone and restrt my router but still does not working...my sister and friend are having the same pronlem with their lumia 520

  • Lumia 520 cant connect to Wifi

    For heavens sake .Lumia 520 is a smartphone that cant connect to wifi. very useless. I have tried all those steps abt settings on the router without success. i love my fone but i feel disappointed with it..Feel like i can return it to shop

    Is it just your wifi that you have problems connecting to or is it all wifis? What router settings have you checked? Router settings can be a complex maze but there is no reason why the 520 should not connect unless there is an issue with your specific handset.

  • Wifi not working properly--lumia 520

    hi i bought new lumia 520 .... can i connect my phone with my computer ad-hoc connection through wifi...?   if yes then i am un able to connect it,..

    No DHCP and Ad-Hoc instead Access-Point mode, both are common configuration issues on the computer part. To check that: Which software or asked differently how do you create a Wi-Fi access-point on your computer?

  • WiFi connectivity issues on Lumia 520

    So recently my 520 has been having problems with connecting to the WiFi. The network shows up as connected but whenever I open IE or another app that uses WiFi it says that my phone is not connected. This is happening on all network that I have tried to connect to.
    Note - The power button had stopped working, and the screen kept freezing so I had sent it in to repair. I got it back a couple weeks ago. I also updated to Lumia Black the day before the problem started.

    Hi sir_bhojus,
    Welccome to the forum! 
    You mentioned that the issue started after the Lumia Black update. Can you verify if the software is successfully installed by going to Settings > Extras + Info? Lumia Black should show there.  Try also to check if all system apps are updated by scanning the QR codes shown at this link: Nokia Windows Phone 8 App Updates.
    You also said that you have tried connecting the phone to different networks. Are they all secured Wi-Fi networks, or open ones? We suggest that you try connecting to different network types to further verify the cause of the issue. If you have administrator access to a Wi-Fi network, try to restart the router, and then connect your Lumia 520 first before other devices. Make sure that you're always within the Wi-Fi's coverage area. It may show that your phone is still connected though the data transfer is very weak.
    Hope to hear feedback from you soon.

  • Timescale for firmware updates Lumia 520 ?

    Can anyone explain why there is such a varience in which the same update gets released either from a phone supplier or Nokia.
    For example I am with O2 in the UK. I asked about the Amber upgrade and the replies varied from "what is that I've never heard of it" to " We are not imformed of release dates so do not know" to a straight "no idea". to " keep checking in settings-phone-update"
    AT & T have been selling the Lumia 520 for some time and their version has  Windows Phone 8 build 10327 (GDR2) and Nokia’s Amber firmware update already on board.
    I can not see Amber for example being different in USA and UK or Swaziland for the same phone.
    So why such a delay
    A very impatient

    There is a difference between a sim,free (factory unlocked/unbranded) device and a carrier released version.
    your challenge with updates when you have a carrier branded device is that the carrier usually has very few updates to devices. And, their firmware versions are different, which include bloatware.
    it is either software they are paid to put in devices, or their own renditions of billing, WiFi calling, mapping, etc stuff. So, before they do any updates of firmware and push it out, they have to do their own version of QC whereas factory unlocked devices get updates when ever the phone manufacturer releases them, which is usually more often.
    even,if you get your device unlocked, it will still require that the carrier push the update. So the care reps are usually going to very uninformed unless they truly are involved in the tech side and have genuine interest to learn more. From a corporate perspective, they usually are scripted and clueless, which for the companies sake helps them not to create anymore confusion with the customer base then already is there.
    as for the varients of,different countries, good to think about the regulations each country has, as well as some of the functionality of the device. Some countries don't have 3 or 4g service, or MMS is different, or there are frequency differences or regulations on what can be done. This goes far more deeper than just having the language available.
    hope that helps

  • Lumia 520 update to cyan

    Can I update my Lumia 520 to Lumia Cyan by mobile network?? Please help me.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The following workarond was suggested by some user on this Forum .. 
    Only thing you may try is ..
    ... provided you have another (spare) Lumia ..
    1) Put your SIM in the spare device ...
    2) Activate "Internet sharing" on the second device.
    3) Connect the device that you want to update, to the hotspot created by the second device. Now, this device thinks it's connected via WiFi, but you're still using your own mobile data plan ...
    If this doesn't work, there is no other go but to find a WiFi Network ..

  • LUMIA 520 MUSIC APP FAILING TO UPDATE

    Can anyone please assist me on getting my Lumia 520 music app update itself on wifi. For a long time now it always gives an error message. Other apps are updating whenever there is a new update.

    Hi Nyax1,
    What is the exact error message that you're getting when you try updating the Music app? Have you tried downloading the app update via mobile data connection? This is the default Music app and not a downloaded one, correct? 
    Make sure that the phone's SW is updated. If you're phone is already running the Lumia Cyan SW, make sure that Update apps automatically and Only get updates over WiFi are both enabled under Settings > swipe to applications > store.These settings will allow automatic update downloads for all apps you've installed in your Lumia 520, though some apps have their own inbuilt auto update features.
    We'll wait for your response. BTW, welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions! 

  • Music Player Clarification Lumia 520

    I recently got Lumia 520 for my wife, but i'm surprised not to find a "Search" button within the "Music Videos" & "Nokia Music" apps. I'm wondering how how i seach for a specific song within any of above apps?
    Sorry if this is stupid question... I'm fairly new to Windows

    The separate Music and Video apps replacing the Mucis and videos hub have a search button..
    Search for 'Xbox musc' and ' Xbox video' in the store.
    These two apps will replace the music hub anyway in the coming Windows Phone 8.1 update. This update also has global search so when you use the search on the startpage (or press the seach button) and enter the songname the phone will find the song on the phone as well as on the internet

  • Nokia Lumia 520 offline maps can not be downloaded...

    Hello,
    I had downloaded offline maps earlier on my Nokia Lumia 520 and they worked very well. But after resetting my phone to original setings (which deleted all the previously downloaded map), I can no more use them. When I try to download offline maps, it gets stuck on 10% or something like that and then says "We can't reach maps library at the moment. Make sure flight mode is turned off and check your and mobile data or WiFi connection, then try again.".
    Tring to resolve this, I had already done following things-
    1. Again reset the phone
    2. Soft reset the phone
    3. Updated the HERE MAPS and HERE DRIVE
    4. Tried downloading it from settings > Applications > maps > download maps
    5. And lastly I was using WiFi for downloading and my Flight mode was off
    I need this feature working on my phone at the earliest.
    Please suggest a solution for this asap, NOKIA!!!
    Thank you.

    Hi, kanishkk. Glad to hear that you're now able to download your map data. Based on the information presented, the issue can be on your connection. If the same issue occurs, try to download using your cellular data to further isolate the issue.
    Feel free to post your concerns and suggestions on the most appropriate board.
