Disable "Search" key on Lumia 520
Pretty simple. I want to disable the "Search" key on my Lumia 520. I find the base of my thumb activates it when reaching across the screen. Even if it didn't, I'd still rather de-activate it to limit accidental connections to the web - my data allowance is minimal and the overage charges are high.
Can this be done?
Thanks.

Javascript disabled on my nokia lumia 520
I have just bought a Nokia lumia 520 and downloaded the EBAY app but can use it properly when i try to reply to messages it all is says is JavaScript disabled you must enable it but i havnt got a clue how to do it
The official eBay app? I haven’t tried myself, however, this is a bug in the app itself, additionally the error message is misleading. I would contact their support. Did you do that, already?

Lumia 520 Unable find bootable option. Press any Key to shut down
I am facing this error on my Lumia 520 phone it suddenly went blank & a message is popping up "Unable to find bootable option. Press any Key to shut down" Please help what is this issue.
Ok, So even I had a Lumia 520 in India. Got the same error randomly one morning. Tried reflashing using Nokia Software Recovery tool and it doesnt work. So it IS a hardware failure and according to me it a sector of the memory has failed. I went to the
Nokia Care (out of warranty) and the guy there said that it would cost me INR 3600 (~$60). What the hell? I paid 120 for the phone and half the price for the repair? But if you are IN warranty, then you are lucky. Just send it to Nokia and they will fix it
for free. It is a hardware failure and you can do literally nothing at home. Just try the Nokia Software Recovery tool once, though it is a big download of 1.5GB -
Nokia Lumia 925 Windows,Back and Search keys don't...
Today i bought NL925 and found that Windows,Back and Search keys don't glow. When i contacted customer care i was told to contact Nokia Care Center. has anybody got the same problem ?
Hi, sasidhar_d.
Where did you purchase your phone? Did you try any troubleshooting on the phone? If yes, what are they? Have you tried restarting your phone by pressing and holding the Power and Volume down keys simultaneously for 10-15 seconds? If yes and it didn't work, it would be best to go and coordinate this immediately to your point of purchase since you just got the phone. Make sure to take the receipt with you.
By the way, which customer care did you contact? Keep us posted. -

Go to Solution.To partly answer your query.. once the No. of Items in the 'Applications' list exceeds 40 it will start showing up the Starting letters. Once auto enabled there is no setting to disable it except Resetting the device. But why do you want it to be removed ? Once you get used to it, its very convenient to search an item quickly ..
