  • Nokia Lumia 520 in Moldova

    I want to buy a Nokia Lumia 520 here in the UK to give to someone living in Moldova, next to Romania.  Is there any reason the person cannot use it in Moldova, in the same way as she can in the UK, where it was bought?  I know that the mobile phone warranty does not cover Moldova, outside of the EU.  Thanks.

    Hey, Apart from the warranty I would like to provide you with this information which I have found on internet for you.
    See every mobile device works on some frequency bands and that need to be present in mobile to work in a particular region , it may support one or more than one band. As per Nokia UK website Lumia 520 supports 
    WCDMA network: 900 MHz, 2100 MHz (this is 3G frequency)
    GSM network: 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz (this is 2G frequency)
    1. Now UK frequency bands where you live are:
    2G capabilities GSM 900, GSM 1800
    3G capabilities UMTS 900, UMTS 2100
    4G capabilities LTE 800, LTE 1800, LTE 2600
    So Lumia 520 in your region support 2G and 3G
    2. Now Mandova frequency bands where the mobile device will be operational:
    2G capabilities GSM 900
    3G capabilities UMTS 2100
    4G capabilities LTE 2600
    So Lumia 520 of UK should work atleast for 2G at GSM 900 frequency and 3G at UMTS 2100.
    Hope you were looking for this kind of reply.Any further questions ping me up.
    -Thank you

  • 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.

  • Nokia Lumia 520 Texting

    Hello, I've just bought a Nokia Lumia 520 and need some help with texting.
    I sent a message to all my old contacts giving them my new number.
    I sent the text to 25 people but only 2 acknowledged it. My mother was included and she was in the room and did not recieve it.
    Is there any chance it has not sent to everyone? How do I correct this?
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Did you have enough balance? Also check Sms calling center number in settings under messages.
    It takes time when you send sms in bulk, sometimes it fails. Try sending it in lesser numbers like 5 or
    10. If it fails its most likely to be service providers problem.

  • Nokia Lumia 520 1GB REBOOT

    Hi lumia people
    I recently bought the Nokia lumia 520 and am disappointed that it doesn't have 1gb ram so i cant play games like fifa (my fav) but i heard that there was going to be a Nokia lumia 520 reboot where it will change from 512mb ram to 1gb, is it true and when will it happen?

    It's already happened, the model with 1GB ram is called the Lumia 525 and it's already on sale in some countries. If it's not yet available in your country you will need to contact a retailer or Nokia directly in your country for more information.

  • Nokia Lumia 520, Several frustrations please help.

    Just brought a Nokia Lumia 520, seemed like a good choice some cpu/gpu/ram as the 720, bigger screen than the 620, would have got the 620 if it was a 4" screen. 
    I use a smartphone for these reasons.
    Text: Nokia 520/Windows Phone does this well.
    Calling: Nokia 520/Windows Phone does this well.
    Email: Nokia 520/Windows Phone does this well.
    Reading articles/browsing the web: Frustrating.
    Internet Explorer doesn't display a large number of pages correctly.
    When a website has a menu (links) to swipe through instead of swiping to the next one it both swipes and opens the link, every time. m.IMDB.com for example.
    What can I do about this?
    Music: Frustrating. 
    The volume button on the 520 seems very cheap, it's just a loose bit of plastic on the case it's self, is this normal?
    I'm currently a premium member of Spotify, the Windows Phone Spotify app forgets when settings are changed, when I try to stream in high quality it always goes back to normal (which sounds pretty bad). There's also no "extreme" quality option.
    Xbox Music Pass, this just seems like a really poorly made app, I've signed up for the premium streaming (as a Spotify alternative). But to get to it I need to click on store\then music, type in the artist I want, and once the music starts, i need to constantly click the "..." button the "more in store" button to change songs within the album, the list it's self doesn't even show you which song is playing, you need press the "<-" button to see the title. And on top of all that instead of the nice clean background there's a picture of the artist, but the picture is stretched and blurred and looks horrible, very off putting.
    Also is the a way of seeing the "status bar" type info without pressing the volume button?
    Please help me, I'm tempted to go back to Android but really don't want too.

    If you hold the back button down without letting it go then all screens that have been left open can be scrolled across screen 1 tap on desired screen opens it as start screen. Same with internet explorer hit the .......... At bottom of screen select tabs and it puts every page visited as a small tile with a. X in corner they can be closed in seconds in the one screen without ever hitting the back button. Hope this is helpful.

  • No WhatsApp in Nokia Lumia 520

    Why there is no WhatsApp in Nokia Lumia 520 ! Not in Windows Store for Nokia Lumia 520. Seven days back it was there.

    Welcome to Nokia Discussions, sanjaygoodearth.
    According to Nokia Care: "The WhatsApp app has been temporarily removed from the Windows Phone Store due to a recently discovered issue with how notifications are handled on Windows Phone 8.0 Update 3 (Lumia Black on Nokia Lumia phones). We are in the process of working with WhatsApp to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

  • Nokia Lumia 520 screen cracked

    I love my Nokia Lumia 520 but very disappointed with the thin glass on the screen. I fell over on the path and had my phone in my hand therefore when I fell over the phone screen cracked and now the touch will not work but the LCD is fine, the screen still lights up. I'm on waiting for a new screen so I can replace it myself but like I said seriously disappointed! I got this phone in June for my birthday and then one mistake it just cracked.
    Solved!

    Hi, josphatchoge13. To verify, those issues occured right after receiving your phone from the Nokia Care Point, is that correct? If so, did you try informing the technicians about it? By the way, are you also having issues with your SMS, MMS, mobile data connection, and voicemail? About not playing any sound, this happens regardless of what task you're doing on the phone which requires sound, right? If you have tried any troubleshooting steps, can you tell us what are they? We look forward to your reply. By the way, we're glad to see you in the forum again. 

  • Unsupported File Format (nokia lumia 520)

    My Nokia Lumia 520 will not post pictures to social networks, transfer them to my computer, set them as my lock screen or even edit them. I purchased the phone only a couple of months ago and it was working perfectly, but then it would just come up with 'Unsupported File Format' when i tried to do anything with them. I did a full system reset, but the problem remained and I don't know what to do. I still have warranty on it and don't know wether swapping it would do any good. Please help!

    Hi cjford,
    Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
    Are you still having the same issue? If so, have you tried the suggestion given by nj15? Did you reset it by going to Settings > About > Reset your phone? Are all the pictures taken from your phone's camera or came from other sources? 
    Keep us posted.

    Ray is correct, Windows Phone only play YouTube videos (thru YouTube clients or the mobile website, or thru YouTube videos embedded in webpages themselves).
