Lumia 520 internet issues

My phone has been working fine since I got it a few months ago, but it got dropped on the floor this morning and since then some internet services has failed to work.
The internet app and the email app work just fine, except for twitter and Facebook websites. For some reason the Facebook and twitter app also cannot load anything. Text messages can be received and seen through the notification bar, but the messages app cant load them. Anyone know of a fix for this? Or shall I have to send it off for repairs?

Have you tried deleting them and then re-adding them to your phone?
If the issue persists, look into installing the 8.1 Developers Previer.
Alternatively, if you can puchase apps on your phone consider buying Metro Mail - it's a Gmail app with functionality similar to Android and iOS apps, and an app I use for work emails.

3G without front camera, what about skype users ???
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.

Lumia 520 - Internet stops working sometimes. Nee...

I have been using a Nokia Lumia 520 for 6 months. Sometimes the internet stops working. Only after removing and replacing the battery, the problem is resolved. It happens say 2 or 3 times a month. Is this a common problem? Does it indicate a problem with the hardware or software?
Thanks
Solved!

Switching the phone off doesn't really switch it all the way off, it just puts it into a kind of "sleep" mode, but the O/S is still running. How would it know that you've pressed the power switch otherwise? Even if it's interrupt-driven rather than the switch being polled constantly, the CPU still has to be running to register the interrupt (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrupt for a description of what an interrupt is).
By pulling the battery out you're forcing the phone to shut down completely. There's no way it can continue to run without power.

Lumia 520 download issues on whatsapp

As the header says I got a 520 when audio is sent to me over whatsapp I can't save it to my music, never ever had such kak with my n8.
also find that I can't download music or videos or anything without an app and half of them don't work and if a few do work they don't work together..... And why do they make it so hard just to make an mp3 a ringtone...... I've had the phone like two weeks and very unhappy, which is a shame cos I really like the look and moving tiles, Very sad. I would of gone with Samsung had I know this.
does anyone else have these issues?
thanks to anyone that can help.

FIles received/downloaded via 3rd party apps (whatsapp, UC browser, etc.) can only be accessed by these apps. To make a MP3 a ringtone all you need is to connect phone to PC and drag the MP3 from PC to the phone's ringtone folder.

Nokia 520- Internet Sharing Issue After WinPhone 8...

I recently updated my Lumia 520 (AT&T) to WinPhone 8.1 OS. Since the update was installed, I am unable to turn on my internet sharing (mobile hotspot). I receive the following message on the screen, "Connect not shared. To enable tethering on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611." I have spoken with AT&T technical support on several occasions and they do not see an issue with my plan. I also have a second device (another Lumia 520) on my plan that was currently running WinPhone 8.0 and successfully sharing internet as a mobile hotspot. Today, I manually updated the OS on that device to WinPhone 8.1 and as expected, the internet sharing functionality stopped working after the update.
I have looked through various message boards and posts related to similar issues, however I cannot find one that is directly attributed to the WinPhone 8.1 update.
Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Abi99
After I pulled the battery to get the product code, the error message when I try to start ICS changed to: Connection not Shared. Internet sharing isn't currently available
I am still on AT&T. However, I ported the number (not the device) out to T-mob and then back to AT&T 3 weeks later. I used the 520 on WiFi in the interim 3 weeks, and during this time, it received the 8.1 update notification, and I installed 8.1.
Which connection profile is choosen in Lumia » menu » settings » celluar+SIM » SIM settings?
Active network: AT&T
Data Connection: On
Don't Roam
SIM Settings: SIM
No data under APN settings (all fields empty)
add internet APN » APN wap.cingular » save » power off » power on: Does it work?
Tried, doesn't work
add internet APN » APN phone » save » power off » power on: Does it work?
Tried, doesn't work. But after this change, the error messgae goes back to the original one:
Connection not shared. To enabled tethering on this device go to ; http ~ or dila 611

Lumia 520 and File explorer issues.

Hi I have just bought lumia 520 and I am trying to trasnfer files using file explorer on windows XP.
Thing is when I connect my phone via data cable, a folder appears named "lumia 520 #2". But when I open it, it doesn't show anything in it. No folders. And when I try to copy paste any file, the paste option doesn't appear. When I try to drag a file, it doesn't copy.
When i click on the folder and go into properties it only shows camera options.
I can't think what's the issue here.
Please reply soon, it will be really helpful. Thanks

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.
The silence will fall

Nokia Lumia 520 problem with internet

Hey
My girlfriend bought today a nokia lumia 520 from an internet shop.
Now she is installing it and it seems to have a problem.
So our netwerk is 'telenet' where we have an abo wich include 1gb internet.
She installed everything like it has to, APN and stuff all ok.
Now she cannot connect to the 3 or 2g netwerk on her phone, it keeps saying we have to put 'roaming' on.
If we do this, the internet goes, but i dont think that is how its supposed, maybe she will have to pay a lot if she does roaming. While we actually dont need it.
Can you help us with this problem?

WiFi connectivity issues on Lumia 520

So recently my 520 has been having problems with connecting to the WiFi. The network shows up as connected but whenever I open IE or another app that uses WiFi it says that my phone is not connected. This is happening on all network that I have tried to connect to.
Note - The power button had stopped working, and the screen kept freezing so I had sent it in to repair. I got it back a couple weeks ago. I also updated to Lumia Black the day before the problem started.

Hi sir_bhojus,
Welccome to the forum!
You mentioned that the issue started after the Lumia Black update. Can you verify if the software is successfully installed by going to Settings > Extras + Info? Lumia Black should show there. Try also to check if all system apps are updated by scanning the QR codes shown at this link: Nokia Windows Phone 8 App Updates.
You also said that you have tried connecting the phone to different networks. Are they all secured Wi-Fi networks, or open ones? We suggest that you try connecting to different network types to further verify the cause of the issue. If you have administrator access to a Wi-Fi network, try to restart the router, and then connect your Lumia 520 first before other devices. Make sure that you're always within the Wi-Fi's coverage area. It may show that your phone is still connected though the data transfer is very weak.
Hope to hear feedback from you soon.

Nokia Lumia 520 - manual settings for internet

I have just got a Nokia Lumia 520. In the UK using Three everything worked well. I live in Spain and have swapped the SIM card for my Spanish Masmovil SIM - my deal includes 1GB of data.
The Spanish instructions on www.masmovil.es show a Nokia Lumia with different screen options and I cannot find "configuration" so I can set up the APN for Masmovil.
Help?

This is not a reply but additional information.
The link to the masmovil website - manual configuration is http://masmovil.es/en/configuring-devices/
Point 2 says choose "configuracion" which is obviously "settings" and I can follow through to step 4 when the display on the website says "click on ADD APN" also shown in Spanish as "agregar APN" however all that is shown on my Nokia below "Network Selection" which is set to automatic, is SIM Applications.
If I click on that I just get the "recargar" or "recharge" option ... which is not APN. I am on a contract so there is no requirement for Recharge anyway,
Confused? Well I am too ....

Poor internet connectivity of Lumia 520

Hi,
I'm using a Lumia 520 in India. My mobile network is BSNL South - 3G. It is noticed with great displeasure that my Lumia 520 phone has a very very poor data reception. In our area, the mobile network is not stable. The signal strength varies all the time. Data transfer is not at all possible on 2G. Lumia phones have only two 'Highest connection speed' settings - 2G and 3G. I do select the 3G (HSPDA) mode to connect to the net. Phone starts downloading the data. Soon, most often with in two minutes, as the signal strength varies, phone automatically switches over to 2G (EDGE) mode. Also, during this process, phone goes back to standby screen, closing the explorer. Add to this, nokia has provided a 'BACK' button, but no 'FORWARD'! The application has to be opened againg to complete all the done steps, for another trial! It is totally annoying that I couldn't even browse Nokia customer care site to lodge this comment!
Five of my friends gave up their Lumia phones and changed to Samsung Galaxy due to this complaint. Nokia is loosing the market here due to these minor problems. My Nokia N8 has 2G/3G/Dual options and had no problem with the same network. I was preparing to exchange my N8 with a Lumia 1020 or 1520, but dropped it, being tired and fooled by this Lumia 520 experience.
I've contected Nokia care and Priority dealer in my town - Kottayam, Kerala, India to fix the problem. Please note that the Nokia Care here has a 'don't care' attitude! They deal as the mistake was with the customers who purchased the Lumia and recommends to use it in the AS IS WHERE IS condition, if they want to!
Also, I wonder what was in your mind when developing a key pad with out left/right ARROW KEYS !
Recommendations:
1. Update softwate to provide maximum net speed - 3G,2G (Manual) and DUAL (Automatic) options.
2. Provide arrow keys and Delete key in the key pad.
3. Offer better service through 'Nokia service'

Again, as I already said, I couldn't connect to Nokia site. So I had written this post from my desktop an my phone turned waste. I've owned 3310, 7300, N95 and N8, from 2000 onwards, when mobile transmission started in Kerala. None of these phones made me dissatisfied. Still now, I'm a proud owner of my N8.

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 Explorer crashing

The Internet Explorer in my Lumia 520 crashes sonetimes. When I'm browsing it happens that the explorer shuts down and closes all the tabs I had opened. I bought the phone last week and it's the first Windows Phone I've bought so I'm not used to those kind of phones and their possible features. It would be kind if you could help me out.

Hi Shannia,
Glad to see you here on the Nokia Support Discussions.
When did this issue actually start to happen in your phone? Do you only get the issue when browsing particular websites like YouTube? Does the phone show any error message before it automatically closes? Is your phone's SW already updated to Lumia Cyan like tehviluattorj's 920? Any additional details you'll provide will surely help the community find the resolution to your concern.
