Can not turn on Nokia Lumia 520 after Microsoft up...

Hi, I've got Nokia Lumia 520 with Windows Phone 8
before yesterday Microsoft update appeared on display and wanted me to instal. So I clicked on "instal" button and after that there was "restarting..." on the display for a while and phone went off. Since that I can't turn on my phone. I tried keep it on charger for a long time, I tried take off battery for a long time, I tried to hold all buttons combinations, but my phone is still dead. Do you have some advises or there is only one option to send that to Nokia for service?
Thank you for answers

First try rebooting by ressing and holding the vol down + power button for around 10 seconds. If it works, the phone should vibrate and restart. If this does not work you could try hard resetting, instructions as per link below. Faiuling that, you will need to get it to your local Nokia Care Point.

Hi, srikanth93.
If you are pertaining to Lumia phones that has the Windows Phone 8.1 software, yes, those are supported by the Nokia Software Recovery Tool. You can verify this info here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-ph/mobile/support/product/lumia520/faq/?action=singleTopic&topic=FA14298.... If the recovery tool is installed on your computer & it's still not recognizing your phone, try to uninstall it and install again. By the way, have you tried coordinating this with a different Nokia Care Point for a second opinion?
Note that the link will direct you to the local support page of the Philippines. If you're from a different location, go here: http://www.microsoft.com/en/mobile/support/locations/.
Best of luck and welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions. ;-)

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

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

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.

Sending videos through whatsapp in nokia lumia 520

hey so i been using whatsapp in my nokia lumia 520., i can recieve videos from friends and even forward the videos to others also.
But what i can't seem to do is send other videos that are there in my memory card/internal memory to other users thru whatsapp. when i try to attach a video file.,all i get is the option to record a video.
how do i attach a video and send it to others thru whatsapp..??
ANy ideas.

I can give you a correct answer. Forget about sending prerecorded videos using Lumia with Widows OS.
As Window phone does not allow all other App developers to access to its video library.
So it is not possible for sending video using lumia series for sure. I have 920 before and just switched to Samsung Android because of this issue

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.
