Nokia Lumia 520: Lumia Black Update

Hello, I have a Nokia Lumia 520.2 (GoPhone)
I am eagerly awaiting the black update as I have heard in may include support for my bluetooth keyboard I would very much like to use.
I am still showing "Lumia Amber" and I am wondering if I am getting glitched out of an update.

does anyone know if Black is available for this rom?
059S2D1 RM-915 LIGHT SWAP ENG GLOBAL
OS Version: 8.0.10211.204
FW: 1030.6409.1314.1002
ive tried checking for updates multiple times over a few days span is this rom portico?
would anyone know what a good "stock" rom would be for the 520?
my device is a AT&T GoPhone Lumia 520.
i flashed to this 059S2D1 RM-915 LIGHT SWAP ENG GLOBAL rom to get Internet Sharing working on my Straight Talk sim but if this rom wont receive updates that worries me a little bit.
thanks in andvance!

Nokia Lumia 925 with Black update - When low light...

The ambient light sensor doesn't seem to be correctly used in low light conditions.
In low light, with the phone "locked", just push the middle unlock button. The screen show the usual unlock screen, but at high brightness, for what seems to be a variable time (every time I do this), but not longer than 100-200 ms. Then the ambient light sensor starts to work, and reduces the display brightness.
This has only started since the black update. My Lumia 925 was working fine before, and now this display brightness problem has started. It only happens in low light conditions. If there is enough light (eg. daylight), the screen doesn't start with max brightness to begin with.
It doesn't matter if I'm using "glance" either. With this feature turned on or off, in low light conditions, this problem is the same.
I am now not using glance (I wasn't really using it before the update anyway), and I've set my screen brightness to a set value as a workaround.
OS version 8.0.10517.150
Frimware: 3051.40000.1345.1001
Hardware: 0.5.6.1
Radio: 3.2.04047.1
SOC: 8960
Solved!
Go to Solution.

So I've played with my phone more ... and I don't think there is a big problem. If I move to a room that is darker, and wait a few seconds, the phone unlock screen isn't bright when I hit the unlock button. It seems the phone now needs longer time to get used to the light conditions it is in.
Maybe the Lumia was always like this, or maybe the ambient light sensor has a slower response time now, and isn't polled as often for its reading, like it was before. More likely is that as I have been playing with the glance screen, I've been locking and unlocking quickly, while walking around. The phone hasn't had enough time to update the ambient light settings.
Interestingly, with the glance set to interval, I can still wake up the interval screen when placing my hands on the screen. I had left my phone for sometime on its own, then I lifted it up. Either my fingers or the movement triggered the glance screen to turn on. Or its has a timer as such, and just happened to turn on at this point in time ! Who knows (well I'll search for more info about the new glance settings now).
So it looks like there is no problem. Either its always been like this, and I'm testing the ambient sensor polling to the limits by pressing the unlock button often. Or the polling rate has been reduced (maybe to help increase battery life).

LUMIA 520 REFUSES TO UPDATE

i bought a used nokiq lumiq 520 and he factory reset it and it has the old software so I tried to update but it says no updates available when I know there is. I want cortana so badly please help

That should be correct. WP8.1 and Lumia Cyan will only be released at some point within the next three months or so. Cortana will come only with that update and will be available only for the US region in the beginning.

Lumia 620 with black update - battery draining

Since the Black update my phone battery drains and phone shuts down without warning. battery saver is on! This never happened prior to the update and all my settings were as before the update and my usage habits havnt changed (minimal use)
I'm on OS Ver.8.0.10517.150 firmware: 3056.40000.1404.0001
- wifi is on (as before)
- data is off (as before)
- Location is off (as before)
Infact I do not have many of the apps I had on prior since the update did not pick up & restore my settings. The Microsoft account refused to let me log in after the update and I had to circumvent that by Adding my account thru settings which prevented my settings/apps from being restored.
Anyone else facing this issue of the battery draining and ...
is there a solution for this (other than re-installing the update which I havnt yet tried)?

Found this article on the support site and made sure I had these set. So far so good ... we'll know in the next 24 hours. I guess the update had turned on several other features I had off previously!

Lumia 520 uninstall software update

After update a network+, my phone usually lose signal(no network). Is it imposible to uninstall it?

Once you install an update, you cannot uninstall it. I suggest you to take out your sim card, clean it with a soft cloth and put it back in. Also check if there's any other system app updates using the Lumia System Updater or SysApp Pusher and update if there's any.
And do not forget to restart your phone after any update, the updates should work without a phone restart, but sometimes restarting really helps. You may restart (soft reset) your phone by pressing volume down and power keys for 10-15 seconds, until the phone vibrates. Or you may remove the battery.
If these suggestions doesn't solve the problem, you may try a Phone Reset (hard reset). Do not forget to backup your data before reset and please read Restore a backup to my phone topic before doing a hard reset.
The silence will fall

Why still nokia lumia black update is not yet avai...

Nokia has announced the GDR3 update for all of its windows 8 phones but still lumia 620 update availability shows waiting for approval. Lumia 620 has better specs than 520 but lumia 520 got the update ahead of 720 and 620. What may be the reason for this delay!!!?

If they tell you the reason is there something you can do about it? You will eventually still need to wait regardless of what the reason for the delay is. asking repeatedly about the availability will not expedite the release.

LUMIA 520 MUSIC APP FAILING TO UPDATE

Can anyone please assist me on getting my Lumia 520 music app update itself on wifi. For a long time now it always gives an error message. Other apps are updating whenever there is a new update.

Hi Nyax1,
What is the exact error message that you're getting when you try updating the Music app? Have you tried downloading the app update via mobile data connection? This is the default Music app and not a downloaded one, correct?
Make sure that the phone's SW is updated. If you're phone is already running the Lumia Cyan SW, make sure that Update apps automatically and Only get updates over WiFi are both enabled under Settings > swipe to applications > store.These settings will allow automatic update downloads for all apps you've installed in your Lumia 520, though some apps have their own inbuilt auto update features.
We'll wait for your response. BTW, welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!

Lumia 520 battery draining extremely after officia...

I updated my Lumia 520 from black to cyan. Before battery was ok. But now battery is draining extremely fast. After one hour use almost 30% gone.I did hard reset but still situation is same. Please Nokia rectify this problem fast. I Googled and founded so many people have same problem after cyan update.

I have update my Lumia 920 to cyan around 2 months ago, and since then my battery was draining in less than a day mostly iddle. Before the update I could go 2 days and have still 20% left.
I have researched the problem, and found that a lot of people are facing the same issue. Shame on Microsoft/Nokia not to acknowledge the problem. I have tried every option suggested on the various discussion board without any success. The only thing I didn't tried was a hard reset for obvious reasons.
Last week I went on vacation, and used an international sim card, and suddenly my battery life was even better than before the update. I could go more than a day using my phone intensively (GPS, Pictures,...), and still have at least 30%-40% at the end of the day.
When I came back home, I return the original sim card, and change the following things in 'cellular + SIM':
1. I set data connection off by default, and will turn it on only when needed (most of the time at home or at work I will use wi-fi anyway).
2. In Network selection I select my provider instead of choosing automatic, and select 3G. I will change it to 4g when I turn the data connection on.
It has been 15 hours since the last charge, and my phone is still at 90%. It seems to work for me (it might not work for every body). In any case it's only a work around until Microsoft acknowledges and fixes the problem.

As you tried already a reset, did you consider the Nokia Software Recovery Tool on a Windows computer as well?
