Lumia 520 eating phone credit/balance

Hey.
I recently bought Nokia Lumia 520. It's quite awesome phone. But there's one problem. My phone credit/balance keeps somehow decreasing a bit even though I haven't called or sent any messages. It eats about 10 cents in 6 hours. I have shut every other background application except Whatsapp.
I'd appreciate your help!

Hi @Armqus ,
e-mail sync, reporting the location to Microsoft, updating live tiles, and definitely WhatsApp!, there are several built-in features of smartphones that eat small chunks of data.
Possible workarounds is to turn mobile data off or turn power save on with the "always" option selected, but the only real solution is to get a data plan from your provider to fully enjoy the phone without extra bills.

Hi,
Please refer to following article and check if help you to turn off Narrator.
Use
Narrator on my phone
However, this issue seems to be more related to Windows Phone. I suggest that you should post the question
in Windows Phone forum. I believe we will get a better assistance there.
Hope this helps.

How to connect Lumia 520 to Zune

i've recently bought a new nokia lumia 520.
the phone is amazing!
On my pc i have windows xp service pack 3
i installed zune and connected the mobile to pc but zune is not detecting it.
how do i connect the 520 to zune?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

you don't use zune for wp8.
just connect your device with a usb cable to your pc and it should auto--detect, then auto-install the drivers and then you can just go to "My Computer" and you will see "Lumia 520"
it will show up as a drive and you can just drag and drop mp3/docs/etc to your device now.

Can I use a higher capacity battery in Lumia 520 - Windows Phone ...

You can, if you can find one with the right size and voltage. There's always a risk with third-party accessories, you should judge that for yourself.

Well if you got the Phone Pggray43 at a Local Corporate store in your Area) you should be able to return it as long as you have all the contents.! Phone, Charger and any other accessories that came with it the Box of Course.. As long as you have not went past the 14 Day return.. the store can go over what you used as in Air Time and Data..
Now if you've went past the 14 Day return you be Liable to pay a E.T.F = Early Termination Fee the fee for this is around $300 so hopefully you have not went past the 14 Day return window the Manager if Available is the one I would talk to tell them your on Social Security and you just can't afford a phone as this I'm sure they'll work with you to get something solved..
Hope ya have Good Luck.! b33

As farby said, did you get the updated version AND verify the versions number as explained in post linked to?
AQUOTE FROM THE LINKED POST:
User Expectations & Recovery efforts:
For users who have already unusable devices, we’re continuing to research this situation. There is no guarantee that using this updated version of the tool will recover an already-bricked device. If your device is showing the red Nokia logo, please do the following:
Ensure your device has a good power source (connected via USB cable that can transfer data and charge the device simultaneously)
Close the WPRT, re-open, and take the update to the new version of the WPRT. The new version is1.2.4
Once he new version is installed, re-attempt the flashing process.
If your device is not recognized, click the "My phone was not detected" button and continue the attempted recovery process
If your device is on a blank/black screen and is unresponsive, you may attempt the same steps as listed above. Devices that do not have the red Nokia logo on the screen are in a different state and will not have the same recovery rate should they be recoverable. Please do try to recover and share your results.
So while the cause of the failure is know and the application is fixed there is no guarantee that a an already bricked phone will recover with the new version. Also I suggest you post your questions and results in the linked post as it is most likely the team working on this will post updates and see your responses.

Got this review of Lumia 720 at flipkart.com..an online shopping website in India..how much of this is true??
i intend to buy a 720 but this...
"I hate neither Windows 8 nor Nokia. But I really do hate their combination - Nokia Lumia 720. I own this phone for more than a month and now I really want to get rid of this. I want to dicuss only the cons of this phone, as all the pros (if there is any) will be ignored with the intensity of the cons.
1. No dedicated folder structure. Nothing like a "Gallery" or "My Files". So there is no question of copying files from one folder to another because there is no folder at all.
2. Its true than you can use a external memory card. But the only action you can perform on the files in your memory card is delete. No copy , paste or even "Rename". If you have to do any of these you have to connect the phone to a Computer.
3. Yes, Bluetooth is there. But you cannot rename your bluetooth. Ok fine. What is there in a name! But what happens to the files you recieve via bluetooth. If you are lucky, you will find them in your "Saved Pictures" . But in most the cases you wont see your recieved files at all.
4. You cant download a video file. Its true that there are you tube downloader applications. But you can view these videos only within these apllications . You cant save them to your SD card. Some may ask what is the big issue in it. But guys, these video applications use the phone's internal storage memory and eventually the phone begins to hang.
5. The most funny thing I found in this phone is "File multiplication". Suppose you took a photograph or downlaoded a music file today. Tommorrow you can see 2 copies
of it in your phone. The next day 3, then 4 and so on. But if you delete any one of these, all will be gone Dont think that any virus has affected my phone. Bacuse form day 1 its so.
(Combining points 4 and 5 together and a previous comment. Somebody said its possible to download videos using UC browser. First thing , UC Browser for windows itself is a piece of **bleep**. It hangs every 1 minute. Second, if you download a video and export it your phone, sometimes it gets exported and sometimes not. If luckily it got exported, it begins to multiply as I said in point 5)
6, The battery. With the internet and all the background tasks OFF, and with no live tiles on the home screen, the maximum time I got with the battery is 11 hours. If i turn all features on, it drains in 5-7 hours.
7. You cannot open the PDF or .txt files present in your SD card. Only those PDF files you download via internet can be opened. Again you cannot PDFs you download in your SD card.
8. Applications can be saved to phone only, not in SD card.
9. I still dont know what is happening to my internal memory and what is occupying it. Anyway its full now. And only thing I could do is to uninstall the present applications.
10. These comments are from my experience for more than a month. Today I dont have this phone to experience not bacause I sold it, but because its dead now. For any other phone you can try removing the battery, re-inserting it and restarting. But what can you do with this internal battery?????
Again I want to tell you an awkward experience with this phone. I am a techie and has a habit of listening to music while coding. One day in office, I connected the Nokia headset and started the music. But music was playing via loudspeaker only. It was not recognizing the headset at all. I tried to stop the music. But none of the keys worked, Not the pause button, not the volume keys, not the back button. I tried to switch the phone off. But it didnt work either. I had to cover the loudspeaker with my fingertip for about 10 minutes helpless and suddenly the phone switched off. With relief I removed my fingertips and I couldnt believe what happened . Music was still being played from the Switched Off phone. Again for the next 2-3 minutes I had to cover the loudspeaker before the music stopped. I switched it ON again only after reaching home. If I had sold the phone that day itself. I wouldno have to keep a dead phone now in my hands."

Does the ATT go phone lumia 520 Work on Net10?

I just got a Lumia 520 ATT go phone and i'm trying to use it on NET10. when I insert the sim i get a "sim invalid" message on the phone tile. but when i insert the ATT micro sim that came with the phone it works fine. any solutions?
I've tried two diffrent Net10 ATT micro sims and both failed. Does the phone have to be unlocked first? caude i was under the impression It would work as long as i got the ATT sim card

If the phone is unlocked you should not have a problem, if it is locked to your carrier you can't use another SIM but it should work fine while roaming (expensive though..)

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.

Updating Nokia Lumia 520.

I tried updating my Lumia 520 yesterday night.
The download was completed and then I set it install updates, post which I went to sleep.
On waking up today morning, I found that my phone is near bricked.
All I can see is the gears turning symbol which I presume they have added to show update process.
Phone is not starting now.
The process has been on for a few hours now.
Any ideas???

I had same problem with mine as its a contract i get all you can eat data.......but it needed wi fi connection to download it, and as i have not got tethering agreement it would warn me when trying to use mobile internet sharing.....a week later i was traveling to my sons i used free wi fi on bus....it took the 4 hour journey and another 5 using sons wi fi . I found patience is needed and giving in and resetting it because it appeared to have froze on cogs and gears In my case it paid off and no problems ever with my lumia 520 apart from apps that require wi fi connection.
