  • Nokia 520 switch on button not working

    Ive had a Nokia 520 for only 4 months and its broken as the switch on button does not light up the phone all other aspects of the phone are working.....3 are not interested and are still taking monthly payments for a phone I cant use unless someone contacts me and the screen lights up. I would like some good advice please as of how to fix this or have this fault repaired? Thankyou

    If the button is broken, you need to get it repaired at a local Nokia Care Center. But as an alternative, you can use camera button to unlock your phone, just hold the camera button for a second.
    If this feature is not enabled on your phone, you can enable it in Settings->applications->Photos+camera

  • Please help to use nokia 520

    hi i am rama, i have a nokia 520 but i confuse how to send a song file using bluetooth, please help...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    First, you need to activate Bluetooth by swiping left from the Start screen then selecting Settings > Bluetooth.
    Now open your music player and browse to the song you would like to share. Start playback of the song, then tap Menu (three small dots on the bottom right of the screen) then tap Share > Bluetooth > the name of the device you would like to share with.

  • Nokia 520 not broadcasting WiFi connectivity corre...

    One of the main reasons for choosing the Nokia 520 (with an unlimited data plan and very reasonable cost) was to act as a WiFi hub, particularly for travel and emergencies.
    My laptop has quite happily connected over the years to many WiFi hubs.  Simply search for the device and use the supplied password - but not with the '520/Win8.
    I have ensured that the WiFi s/w on the PC is fully updated to the latest versions.  The '520 can be accessed by another mobile phone in the 'normal' way (find device, enter password).  The PC will happily connect (again in the normal way) to my son's iPhone and use it as a hub.
    But whilst it can see the '520 it does not try to do things in the normal way - it asks for a 'Device Access Pin' (which appears to be an 8 figure code - but which is NOT the password - and entering anything but '00000000' gets a 'Failed Checksum'). It then enters a wholly new screen, but then fails to connect.
    The obvious issue is that the '520 seems not to be broadcasting the  correct information for a PC Wireless connection.  This currently makes it 'unfit for purpose'.
    Is this known and will it be fixed?  Otherwise the phone will have to go back and one that does work obtained (especially as I cannot say I am a big fan of Win8 compared to my previous Nokia E7).

    grschinon,
    Thank you for a very useful reply.
    The question I have, therefore, from anyone from Nokia Support - is why this limitation has been built into the Phone's software and will it be changed?
    For if the laptop (and many other devices) can connect happily to everything else (including the latest iPhone5), then the limitation is a particular decision by Nokia - and, most importantly, needs to be communicated to their customers.
    For at present I can only determine that the Nokia 520 is indeed 'not fit for purpose' for the purpose it was bought and I will have to think of taking it back and changing it for a phone that is.
    So, will a patch fix this issue, or will retailers have to publicise and communicate this fact to buyers so that they can make informed decisions?  An early reply would be appreciated.

  • Can I buy a Nokia 520 (i.e. on ebay) and replace my current phone?

    I want to buy a Nokia 520 to replace the phone on one line on my account. If I buy one and bring the phone into a Verizon store, will they be able to switch the phones for me?

    As long as it is a Verizon Wireless branded phone with a clean ESN. However, the specific model you are asking about seems to be an AT&T device. Even though the listing may say unlocked this only means that you can use a SIM from overseas in the device. VZW and AT&T use 2 different types of networks that require 2 different types of hardware.

  • Nokia 520 with 2013 Kia Rio Bluetooth

    HI Guys
    I have spent hours trying to get my Nokia 520 to fully pair up in my Rio car bluetooth.  It's driving me nuts!  I can call from the phone itself and have a full conversation no problem through the car system, as long as I initiate the call from my phone.  I just cannot use the car system to look for a contact and make a call on the car system directly.  When I try to call from the car controlls, it does not give me a chance to get to a contact and switches back to radio screen.
    I have tried clearing my contacts of junk, clearing my sim, taking battery out and restarting all systems but to no avail.
    Any ideas!?.........please??!

    Welcome to Nokia Discussions, KiwiJim.
    We need to know more information about the current software version of your Lumia 520. To get this, on the home screen, swipe left, go to settings and choose about - look for the Software entry.

  • Nokia 520 no sound, cannot make calls

    Last week my Nokia 520 that i have had for three months has started to breakdown. When playing music on the phones speakers or playing anything that had sound on the phone it stopped working. My headphone socket still works. The strange thing is my ringtones and alarms still work through the speaker? I had completed a factory reset and still it has not worked.
    Now i cannot make calls my phone rings the person i cannot hear them at all they cannot hear me? Im really disappointed and want to know has anyone else came across these problems? Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    okay here is what happend, yesterday after 3 to 4 hours after I posted the problem heoundre, the s came back. I did NOT reset the phone or did anything, It was on the table and when i unlocked it there was sound. which was really frustrating cuz i could not find out what was it that caused the problem. then today in the evening i was playing this game, and again the sound went dead again.
    I factory reset the phone, nothing happend. what the hell is going on with my phone. I can take my phone to nokia care centre but they will keep it for days. and I think the speaker is okay thats why the sound came back. right? Please I want a reply from some nokia support staff. this is serious.
    Thanks

  • Nokia 520 restarts with SD card after Amber

    hi
    My Nokia 520 restarts with a SD card inserted. I have used a Sandisk 16Gb and then a Samsung class 10 card.
    The issue was not present before the Amber update !!
    Could anyone who has experienced a similar issue suggest a solution ?
    thanks
    ran

    hi 
    thanks for the answer. Actually the Italia Nokia support suggests to use class 10 cards and specifically Nokia cards. The Sandisk website also suggest to use only certain models of SD cards and all of them are class 10. The first SD card i have used is a Sandisk and it is not a class 10, maybe a class 6. I saw that lots of users are affected by this issue and i would like to know how they solved (if they did).

  • How is possible to save a pdf document from a email to the memory of my Nokia 520?

    I installed Adobe Reader to read the pdf documents present in the memory of my Nokia Lumia 520 and those arrive by email.
    Particulary important for is to save, the pdf that arrive by email, in the memory of my phone but I didn't understand how it is possible.
    Someone can help me?
    Thank you
    Mauro

    Now it's impossible to save PDF files to memory or SD card because Windows Phone 8 simply doesn't allow this action for 3d party apps.
    That's why all available readers can't do it.

  • Amber update for Nokia 520 - Windows 8 - Vodafone ...

  • Amber update for Nokia 520

    Hi,
    Could someone please tell me if the Amber update is available for the 520?
    I keep reading that it's available but the update doesn't show it on my phone.
    I contacted Vodafone and they told me it's nothing to do with them.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi JG4545,
    Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions. We apologized for the delay of the release of the amber update. adrianhughes is right. It may depend on your network provider. You may contact them to verify the availability of the Amber update for your phone. However, upon checking on the global website: http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-updat​e/wp8-software-update/availability-in-europe/ the update is already released for your country. We ask you to be patient as the update for the Nokia Lumia range are always release gradually.
    You may also try turning off and on the flight mode on your phone, go to settings > flight mode. After this, you may try to connect again to your router and manually check for available update.
    Let us know the outcome. Thanks! 

  • Lumia 620: Reset error, Stuck on gears screen

    Yeah. I tried to do the Amber update on my phone, but it restarted during the update and it said I didn't have enough space for the update because it wanted to redownload the files rather than use the ones already there. I couldn't clear any more space because of the Other Storage bug so I tried resetting my phone to factory settings. It has been stuck on the gear screen for an hour now, and I've turned it off and on again several times to no avail. please help, because this is becoming frustrating and annoying very very quickly.

    Stuck on running gears for over 8 hours!
