Another Lumia 520 user without an equalizer

I have installed the latest updates and now get the equalizer that flashes for the blink of an eye then disappears. If memory serves, the owners manual said that the lumia 520 would give me equalizer settings when the headphone jack was in use. Just my two cents but seems like this should be a simple matter, please fix this.

Hi, smkumar0307.
With regards to your concern about the equalizer of your Nokia Lumia 520, this feature is not available or supported on your device.
In case your phone received an update for the audio equalizer which is the audio app version 2.1.1.1 (released March 2014), it only shows briefly the equalizer menu when starting the app but this doesn't mean that the equalizer support is included in your phone model. You may have noticed that the equalizer menu is shown for a short moment after which it disappears and the correct audio menu for Lumia 520 is shown. This is a normal behavior and there's no fault in the phone.
Have a nice day!

Lumia 520 worthy without music

hai nokia
i m really disappointed with absence of equalizer in lumia 520 as even few bugs s40 phones sounds great in front of this so called smart phone, why people should switch to lumia ? Which even not deserve to play smarter music.........

Maybe it's because your mp3s are not that great quality and you should use better settings to encode them. I assume you are not using the uually horrible quality you can find around the internet..

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.

Nokia Lumia 520(back,windows logo and the search b...

May I know if the lumia 520 (Back, Windows logo and the search buttons-on the front of the device) - does it have the white lights on lighted up when in dark places or it does not have any lights at all?
I have tried reset the phone, change the brightness to auto and restart many times still no lights on those buttons.
Please advise if there are other lumia 520 user out there and if there is any solutions or it does not have any lights at all.
If there is any solutions for it, please do let me know. First time user for windows phone.
Thanks in advanced.

Those buttons are not backlit on the 520.

Lumia 520 "Remote wipe of user data via Internet"

I'm interested in purchasing a Lumia 520 and read on the spec site that it can do "Remote wipe of user data via Internet" (http://www.nokia.com/in-en/phones/phone/lumia-520/specifications/).
Is there any special software that I need to be able to do this (like have it connected to a BlackBerry server in the case of enterprise BlackBerry devices) or is it as simple as stated on (http://www.noknok.tv/2013/05/02/how-to-find-your-lost-nokia-lumia-running-windows-phone-8/) where all you have to do is log into windowsphone.com where you can erase a linked phone?
This phone will be used for business so in case it is lost I need the ability te remote wipe it. Our company currently has a BB server and we all have BB devices, but with BB not doing so well I was thinking of getting a Nokia.
Thanks.

So far so good. That's great news. If I could ask one follow up question though:
Would it matter if the same SIM is installed on the phone? Lets say the 'thief' was able to get into the phone with a different SIM (if the security was not setup correctly) - would the phone be erased based on the SIM that's installed or on the IMEI number of the device?
Thanks
If there's no data connection, windowsphone.com cannot access your phone to send push notifications and if push notifications fail, then it will try to send SMS to your phone.
I just tried to ring my phone after taking out the SIM card, it was connected to wi-fi and I could ring it.

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.

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.

Bluetooth Handset - Lumia 520 cant find headset

I got a plantronics M50 Bluetooth headset and my Lumia 520 can't find it. Why won't it connect? Its works for my other devices that have Bluetooth.

Are you able to connect another Bluetooth headset to the 520? Disable the Bluetooth on both devices and enable them. Check if the phone will be able to find the Bluetooth headset this time. You may refer to below link for the Plantronics M50 user manual.

Lumia 520 Bluetooth Stutter

I am an IT Pro with numerous users with mobile devices. I recently started purchasing Lumia 520s as a replacement phone when users break their existing phones. I handed out three last week and all three users describe the same problem when using their device paired with their car audio system. Each user has a distinct vehicle with a different connectivity system.
The Lumia pair successfully with the car audio system and works properly for some amount of time. Then seemingly without warning when they are on a call (during or at the beginning) the phone audio begins to violently stutter. It cuts in and out rapidly (~ twice per second) to the point where audio is unintelligible. The only solution is to reboot the phone or turn bluetooth off/on.
All three users seem to be on the latest software release. I am very puzzled because of the consistency of the issue, but I can find no consistent chatter of this issue on the Internet and that seems odd to me given the statistics that I am experiencing.
Any thoughts?

hi mate,
have you tried performing a soft reset? if that does not work, then you may need to perform a hard reset, and failing that, a trip to Nokia Care is in order.

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 ..

I suppose the price difference between the 620 and the 520. Can't expect to pay bottom dollar and get all the features of the top of the range phones.

Nokia lumia 520 push notification problem with wha...

I have a Lumia 520, and i find that i do not receive push notifications for my whatsapp messages. I have to open the application before the messages come through. I would like to know how to correct this. I have checked all my settings.

On a HTC-forum I saw the next solution, and it works also for Nokia Lumia! That means it is a Microsoft Issue!
1) Unpin Windows store from start
2) ERASE Internet Explorer History
3) ADD new language to the keyboard (Settings-->keyboard-->add keyboards
(CHOOSE A LANGUAGE THAT REQUIRE DOWNLOAD)
4) When downloading is finished, it will ask to restart and install
5) After installation and restart do the following;
A) UNINSTALL WHATSAPP
B) REINSTALL WHATSAPP (you can get conversation history back when asked, so no problem)
After this the push function works, but there is still a delay up to 10 minutes! So when you test, be patient.
NO BETTER PRESSURE MEDIUM THAN ANTI ADVERTISING SO AFTER THIS EXPEDITION PLEASE CHANGE YOUR STATUS TEXT TO:
USING WINDOWS; THAT MEANS DELAY UP TO 10 MINUTES
When all Window Phone users display that message, Microsoft has to come with a final solution!
Please spread the word

Lumia 520 music player gets stopped with headphone...

Hi folks
I have a problem with my nokia lumia 520. When I am playing music with my headphones the music gets paused. It has been happening for the last week. It works fine on speakers but not with headphones. I have tried several headphones, did a soft-reset, uninstalled nokia music, but nothing is working so far. Phone wasn´t crashed or dropped to the floor, it is happening for no apparent reason. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi, Sedejaballevar. What's the model of your headphone & the other headphones you've tested with your Lumia 520? Does the issue happen when transitioning from one song to another or randomly during a song? Are your songs from your phone memory, memory card, offline mix or through online source (online mix)? Keep us posted.
