Stiff Battery cover for Lumia 520

Today I configured my first Lumia 520 and it was an 'interesting' experience.
I have 2 complaints:
1. Whilst the battery cover adds a nice feel to the phone, it is stiff and very difficult to peel off.
2. The online instructions provided for peeling off the battery cover frightens me, that I will bend the motherboard, hence break the phone.
This was an issue associated with wearing mobiles around ones waist causing many repairs. Motorola models seemed the worst affilicted.
I'm filled with trepidation.

The technique described in the online instructions lets the back cover be removed with very little force. You just have to be sure that you insert your thumbnail between the soft outer cover and the hard inner shell, and not between the hard shell and the screen.
At first glance it can seem that you are supposed to put your thumbnail into the cutout for the earpiece, but that's not right. There's a narrow, hard ridge that runs right around the edge of the screen, and you insert your thumbnail outside that ridge to peel away the soft plastic case that clips around it.
Hope that helps.

Bluetooth Drivers for Lumia 520

Windows Vista can't find bluetooth drivers for Lumia 520. Where can I download these from?

File Transfer Protocol is not supported in Windows Phone. To my knowledge you can use OBEX to transfer files provided obviously both sides support this.

Dolby audio settings for Lumia 520

As every nokia Lumia windows phone 8 device has a Dolby audio settings with a equalizer in the settings menu, there are presets and a
custom one. This is not available in Lumia 520. This is utter discrimination,just because it is a low end Lumia device. If Nokia didn't want to give us Dolby audio settings, then why show a audio menu like in other devices and when we open its blank. This is teasing us. They shouldn't have put the audio settings in the settings menu for Lumia 520. Firmware. This is very bad nokia. Either update the firmware by removing audio from the settings or just give Lumia 520 users a equalizer. All the devices have the same chipset 520,720,620. A qualcom msm8227 with 2 krait cores and same adreno 305 gpu. But 520 doesn't have the equalizer , the other devices do have it. I expect a. Prompt reply. Nokia.

I am so disappointed with the way this lumia 520 turned out to be. There is no speed dial function, when even typing the numbers you have to type it,fully without the phone giving suggestions. There is no means to go forwards when using internet explorer, and you cannot set personal ringtones unless you use a computer or an app that does that. It is so messed up and uncool. I just hope all these are corrected in the amber update, speaking of which we don't even know when it would be released.

Gdr2 for lumia 520

any idea when the gdr2 update(coupled with amber) is gonna be available for Lumia 520.
Also what changes does it include?

WPcentral is a techblog, they work on rumour and unconfirmed information and like to speculate. Here on Nokia Support Discussions specualtion on future releases is not allowed. When it's ready Nokia.MSFT will tell us and until then anything you hear or read should be considered speculation.

Equalizer For Lumia 520

Hii,
Wanted to ask how i could get an audio equalizer for Lumia 520? Went through a few topics that say 520 doesn't has the hardware to support an equalizer. Is this true?
Moderator's note: We have amended the subject as the post was moved to the correct thread.

breath_in wrote:
it is a quite stupid answer that you have gave. we cant expect an equliser in a phone.... which is called a smart phone...( i dont know that still holds with the lumia 520)
when the basic functions are lacking and yu justify with "it is an entry phone"
that is upsurd...
then what the hell are we suppose to do with this candy shaped thing that we bought using our cash.. just throw it out and wait..
Then may I ask why L520 doesn't have a 41MP camera, just like the one in 1020? Equalizer maybe a basic feature of an MP3 player, but definitely not a basic feature of a smart phone. Smart phones may play music files, but that doesn't mean that they will have all music player features.

Where to buy Nokia Xpress-on cover for Lumia 710 ?

Does anyone know where I can buy Nokia Xpress-on cover for Lumia 710 in Australia? Or anywhere overseas that will ship to Australia. Nokia lists them on their website but not how/where to purchase.
I notice customers in the U.S. are getting free covers. Is this going to be available to other countries???

I emailed Nokia NZ about the covers, they said they'd get back to me... 2 months still waiting and yes a new cover would be cool. Mines too black, always getting lost.
Yellow would be awesome. Perhaps they'll extend the cover offer to the rest of the world one day

Purchasing battery cover for nano plus?

I emailed creative support team and asked if I could have a new battery cover for my zen nano plus, someone emailed back and said to <EM>''purchase'' </EM>one you have to call them and talk to someone about it. I cant believe I have to actually "PURCHASE" one?

At least you got email back. I emailed them about wanting to buy a replacement cover for my GB MuVo TX weeks ago, and got no reply at all. Do they just ignore you if the unit is out of the warranty period? I'd happily pay a reasonable price for a replacement.

Brightness Slider for Lumia 520 with cyan?

I officially updated my Lumia 520 to cyan and was searching for Brightness & Tint slider. Where is the Brightness & Tint slider under display setting? Has it been properly updated or I missed out something? I saw this feature in Lumia 630 which was running cyan update.

Thank you for your reply, as you mentioned I checked under Settings > Display and I got 3 option under it, Sunlight readability, Battery saver brightness, and Colour profile, under Colour profile > Colour temperature & Colour saturation Sliders. My all system apps are up to date including display app, but I am not getting Brightness profile and tint option under it. Is the brightness profile option available to Lumia 520? If yes then why my lumia 520 doesn't show it? I have attached my Lumia 520 display setting screenshots, just have a look.
Thank you!

Battery app for Lumia 710

Hello everyone, I hope you can help me with a problem I am having.
I own a Nokia Lumia 710 handset, originally on Vodafone, now unlocked. I am trying to find a battery app for the phone, but I am having no luck whatsoever.t I want a simple app that will put the battery percentage on the front screen, with just a battery icon and a percentage total, to say that I have, say, 25% battery left. I know there is a battery option in the settiings menu, but I don't want to hunt it out, I want it right there in front of me, where I can see it immediately. I have looked on the Marketplace, but I cannot find an app of this kind. Does such an app exist?
Kind regards
Rishtongirl

I don't think there is anything available yet.
This may not be possible due to restrictions within the OS itself not allowing access to that

Why do you say you were stuck with the 800. Microsoft and Nokia put out the update for the Lumia 505, 510, 610, 710, 800, 800C and 900?

What he meant was the older 800 isn't upgradable to WP 8 from WP 7 and wanted to know if his 520 would be stuck at WP 8 only with no major upgrade path in the future.

Ear phones for lumia 520

I had recently bought lumia 520 red one. I Want to buy NEW IN-EAR RED Colour Ear phones. Checking the nokia india website, it shows all the earphones as COMING SOON. So any Idea where should i buy them or any other alternative?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi mate, i believe the earphones you are looking for do not come standard in the box for 520. You are therefore looking for something along the lines of the Purity earphones or the ones that come in-box with higher end models such as the 920, 925, 1020 etc.

Is their is any solution for it?

rohoit2013,
Welcome to Nokia Discussions!
The reason is that Windows Phone devices, including the Lumia 520, does not support native Java.
Hope this clears
