Need advice Lumia 2520 vs Lumia 1020

Im a traveler, moving from a place to another place.
Which is good for me
Lumia 2520 or Lumia 1020
I prefer tablet but it's sometimes troublesome for a traveler like me

If the OS is not the issue then have a look at the 1520..
The 2520 and 1020 is really apples and oranges, the 1520 is a huge (6") phone so you get the larger screen and it will make calls as well. Especially if your main use is web and email I'd say the 1520 woudl be a perfect compromise. The usual phone limitations (no Flash support for one) apply obviously..

I get no wireless signal in my home, so need a network extender for the Lumia 2520. Specs indicate LTE FDD network:Band 20 (800MHz), Band 3 (1800 MHz), Band 7 (2600 MHz). Does Verizon offer a network extender that will work with the Lumia?

I get no wireless signal inside my home, only outside, so I need a network extender that will work for the Lumia 2520, Specs indicate it uses LTE FDD netork Band 20 (800MHz), Band 3 (1800MHz), Band 7 (2600 MHz). Does Verizon offer a network extender that will work with the Lumia 2520?

We want to make sure you get service in your home Astromandata! I can check your area to see if you qualify for the network extender. What's your zip code? If it does qualify than you will be able to use it for your Lumia to support your voice services. Find out more information here: http://spr.ly/6585fNlt Is anyone else having this issue?

Lumia 2520 Windows RT 8.1 Tablet unable to activat...

About a week or so ago, my Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet with Power Keyboard (purchased through Telstra in Australia) wouldn't start and took me to the Windows RT 8.1 Recovery options. After unsuccessfully trying to use the recovery options to do a refresh, I decided to do a full Reset as all my data was either stored on a MicroSD card or in OneDrive.
Unfortunately, the device has not worked since. The cause of the problem is that when I reset the device (effectively doing a reset to factory default) and then going through the initial set up of Windows RT 8.1, I am advised that I need to activate the device, but the device failes activation and I am getting an error, Error code: 0xc004f012 the licensing software service reported that the call has failed because the value for the input was not found.
I am unable to use Microsoft Office as I am advised it isn't licensed and about 75% of Windows updates fail. I have now reset the device a few times, but I am getting nowwhere.
I rang and spoke to Nokia Australia Support today on 1300 366 733 and they advised me to search and run a command "slui 4", which started a wizard to perform a phone activation, but after selecting Australia as the country, the next windows, which is meant to provide the number to call and provide the installation ID from which I am meant to get an confirmation ID to enter. Unfortunately, the details of the telephone number and installation ID are never displayed, with the circling little dots going for ever!!
In essence, the Windows Activation process is looking for a Windows Product Key, which is not provided. Consequently, I am being asked for a Product key for Windows RT 8.1 even though you don't get one.
Although I will try with Nokia Support again tomorrow, I am starting to getting desperate! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

DB Jones

Nokia Lumia 2520 - stuck in updating mode.

I have a new Lumia 2520, which I began to commission today. I got it to look for updates, and it found a large number to download and install including one for the firmware. It appeared to download them, but then installation of all of them repeatedly failed, with the error message saying that an update was already in progress. I left it for four hours, still the same. Then from experience in commissioning Windows PCs I set it to restart and during the closedown sequence it came up with a blue screen and a message "Keep your PC on until this is done. Installing update 1 of 5".
Nine hours later the same message is displayed. The tablet is plugged into the charger, and is sitting adjacent to the wifi router: it has power and connectivity. Online information suggests that no update to this device should take more than 25-30 minutes. It just seems stuck: won't switch on, won't switch off.
What's wrong, and what can I do about it?
Thank you.

Hi, auchindrain. How's your tablet now? If you're still having the same issue, best to try the troubleshooting steps shown at this link: Lumia 2520 - Need help in fixing a problem?. Note that this link is intended for a specific region; search the same FAQ in the local MS Mobile support page: MS Mobile - Change locale.

Nokia Lumia 2520 Outdoor readibility/ " enhanced o...

Hello,
I'm a student from europe and keen to buy a tablet. I'm looking @ the lumia 2520 and must say that so far it is looking good! Most of all, I'm interested in the " enhanced outdoor readibility " and since I'm often on the go or outside that would be one of my prime concerns. I didn't realize that it was available until after I saw the ad with the dog.
I'd like to know, if anybody could explain to me a little more what that "enhanced outdoor readibility" actually is?
Because I still have my doubts! (not to mention the limited RT operating system) Is there a technology behind it or does it merely have do with good resolution and the 650 nits that you can also see in the specs. Does it go by a name...?
I'd like to learn a little more about it before I make a choice.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's basically the Clearblack technology Nokia developed for their phones but on the next level.
There are several articles around the internet explaining the technology, amongst others on Nokia Conversations here.

Nokia Lumia 2520

I have the Lumia 2520 keyboard cover. I have had to replace it within one week of purchase. The reason for this was that some of the keys did not work. Now the same issue is happening to the replacement. More and more letters are not working on the keyboard. I am so tired of it I don't feel like trying to get a replacement. Nokia did a poor job on the keyboard for the Lumia 2520.

hi mate sorry to hear of your experience. in this case you will need to persist with your retailer/Nokia Care until the issue is resolved to your satisfaction

Lumia 2520 Screen Jumping Problem

Hi.
My Lumia 2520 (Bought in Jan 2014) keeps jumping back to the start screen even if I don't press the windows button. Problem started a few months ago and it is getting worse and worse. Sometimes it works without problems but every now and then it jumps back to start screen for several times (for example 20 times). It may jump back i.e. from IE, E-mail or Calendar. For example, during writing this message my device has jumped back to start screen (ans sometimes back to IE) for five times... When 'the jumping mode' is on moving the device seems to make the problem even worse. My device is up-to-date. Hardware problem / repair needed?
Kind Regards, JR

Lumia 2520: "0% available (plugged in, not chargin...

I purchased a 2520 in January. It's a great tablet and even better now that I have the power keyboard.
However, I have noticed one thing.
When the charger is plugged into the 2520, no problems.
When I attach the 2520 to the keyboard and the charger is plugged in, no problem.
When I unplug the charger while the 2520 is attached to the keyboard, it sometimes reboots and it sometimes doesn't.
If I undock the 2520 from the keyboard and unplug the charger, the 2520 goes dead.
I noticed, when it was plugged in, via the Desktop, using the battery icon, that Battery 1 says: 0% available (plugged in, not charging)
Does this mean that the tablet battery is dead?

Hi DrPhibes,
Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
When did this issue start to happen? Did something happen to your Lumia 2520 before the charging issue came up? What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far for this issue?
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take several minutes before the charging indicator shows any progress. Though the tablet works fine when the charger is plugged in, try leaving it idle for a few minutes and see if the battery indicator will increase from 0%.
Try also to restart the PC before re-charging it to refresh the tablet's software. if the issue continues, check this link for more troubleshooting steps to try: Nokia Lumia 2520 - Need help in fixing a problem?

Silverlight on Nokia Lumia 2520

I am trying to watch BT sport on my Nokia Lumia 2520 but says I need Microsoft Silverlight. Any ideas how I can do this?

Hi Jennifer,
I believe the Lumia 2520 is a non Intel\AMD processor, maybe ARM. This would mean Silverlight is not supported.

E-mail on Lumia 2520 Tablet

Tried to set up my comcast.net e-mail account on lumia 2520 in mail. Seemed to take information, but does not work and cannot remove it or re-enter it. also got message about not being able to do a POP 3 account. Any suggestions

I just saw yes.. Did not actually know they removed that. Frankly however, I believe any modern day server will allow POP and IMAP anyway. Especially for a mailbox seen and used on multiple devices IMAP would IMO be a much better protocol.
Anyway, this is an 'issue'with the OS and if you want to hav ethis addressed there is really nothing anyone here (or an Nokia Care really) can do.

When is the Lumia 2520 going to be back on sale in...

So I understand why the Lumia 2520 was withdrawn from the shelves, but isn't it time a modified charger was available?
Is there really nothing that can be said about when the product might be available again? Even a very rough guideline would be useful. Is it going to be days, weeks, months, years?

You need to contact Nokia UK directly to see what they say. Twitter is probably the best method for getting an answer out of them. They really have handled this very badly.
Personally i'd be looking at other tablets that run full Windows 8, not Windows 8RT as there's much more choice and they do a lot more. You may also want to see what Microsoft announce at their Surface event later today. With Microsoft buying Nokia's devices and services division the 2520 is probably going to be obsolete fairly quickly.

Lumia 2520: No battery sign

On my 2520 RT tablet it shows a red cross (not available) through the battery sign. The tablet works fine. However it should be nice to see how much power is remaining. I own this tablet since a week, and first the battery sign was available. It seems to appear (don't know for sure) after a windows update.
Does anyone how to solve this problem?
