Problem updating lumia 520

I cannot update my 520 with mobile data(3G). The phone update prompts repeatedly to connect with wifi. Why should it be like this? Is there any option to stop such a monotonous prompt and get the mobile data working for downloading the update? Hope to see a way out...

Though the official Nokia site mentions it as recommended way to update the phone, it seems WiFi is the only way you can do that ..

Timescale for firmware updates Lumia 520 ?

Can anyone explain why there is such a varience in which the same update gets released either from a phone supplier or Nokia.
For example I am with O2 in the UK. I asked about the Amber upgrade and the replies varied from "what is that I've never heard of it" to " We are not imformed of release dates so do not know" to a straight "no idea". to " keep checking in settings-phone-update"
AT & T have been selling the Lumia 520 for some time and their version has Windows Phone 8 build 10327 (GDR2) and Nokia’s Amber firmware update already on board.
I can not see Amber for example being different in USA and UK or Swaziland for the same phone.
So why such a delay
A very impatient

There is a difference between a sim,free (factory unlocked/unbranded) device and a carrier released version.
your challenge with updates when you have a carrier branded device is that the carrier usually has very few updates to devices. And, their firmware versions are different, which include bloatware.
it is either software they are paid to put in devices, or their own renditions of billing, WiFi calling, mapping, etc stuff. So, before they do any updates of firmware and push it out, they have to do their own version of QC whereas factory unlocked devices get updates when ever the phone manufacturer releases them, which is usually more often.
even,if you get your device unlocked, it will still require that the carrier push the update. So the care reps are usually going to very uninformed unless they truly are involved in the tech side and have genuine interest to learn more. From a corporate perspective, they usually are scripted and clueless, which for the companies sake helps them not to create anymore confusion with the customer base then already is there.
as for the varients of,different countries, good to think about the regulations each country has, as well as some of the functionality of the device. Some countries don't have 3 or 4g service, or MMS is different, or there are frequency differences or regulations on what can be done. This goes far more deeper than just having the language available.
hope that helps

The Lumia 520 does not have an equalizer. Because of this you will not see the equalizer app that drives one in a phone that does have one.

3G Network Connectivity problem on lumia 520

I have been using lumia 520 since the last 10 days but since the last few days once I switch the data connection to off,then switch it back again later I am only able to recieve 2G connectivity eventhough I switched the high connection speed to 3G.After 5-6 attempts by turning high connection speed from 2g to 3g I am able to recieve 3G but it again changes to 2G with the E symbol after sometime.Also my network is always on the lower side once I switch on 3G data connection.I have cut my SIM to MICRO SIM.Please help me with this issue.

Hi Waseeq,
You have to contact your operator for you to get a microSIM card. The possible cause of the issue is that you're not using an original microSIM card. Also, cutting your standard SIM to microSIM is not advisable as using it to your phone may damage the internal parts of the phone.

Storage problems on Lumia 520

The phone memory of my mobile gets filled by other files which i can check in my storage app . It doesn't show what it contains actually but it shows that 4gb of your memory is full and i don't know why . It has created a lot of problems for me as my phone becomes slow and stops functioning. My phone in empty 300 mb is occupied my apps and maps rest of memory should be free but only 2 mb of my memory is free

Hi, QaiserQewzd.
Welcome to the forum.
The Other category consists mostly of various operating system caches (temporary files), Maps and 3rd party application data. Also email, calendar, contacts and Office application data counts towards this figure, but are typically smaller contributors.
The figure shows how much content, downloaded through normal use of the phone, remains available for re-use. For example, when the phone is used to browse the Internet, or install applications and application updates, the caches related to these functions grow in size correspondingly. Another contributor to growth of this category is Maps data, whether it is downloaded on-demand when browsing around in Nokia Maps or when you download the maps of entire countries or other regions for off-line use. Furthermore, Photos, Music and Video create an index that grows with number the files located in Phone memory and in any inserted micro-SD card.
To manage the phone's memory, try these:
1. Remove unwanted stuff from your Lumia Windows 8 Phone by using the Storage Check application. Go to Settings > Storage check, swipe left, the screen will show you the amount of storage used by Apps, Downloaded Maps and Temporary files:
Select details under Apps to find out what apps you have on your phone, consider un-installing some of them to increase the space in your phone memory.
Select maps under Maps, the screen will show you the maps you have downloaded to your phone. Long press an individual map to get an option to remove it, or delete all maps.
Select clear under Temporary files to clear the files that are safe to remove.
2. Delete browsing history, temporary files, cookies and saved passwords in Internet Explorer (Settings > applications > Internet Explorer > delete history).
3. Delete previous map searches and temporary files from your phone (Settings > applications > maps > delete history).
4. Delete Bing search history, including Bing Vision and Bing Music searches (Settings > applications > search > delete history).
5. Remove old Office documents from your phone: Press Start, swipe left, and select Office > places (locations) > phone. Long press any document and then select Delete.
6. Remove offline mixes from MixRadio: Press Start, swipe left, and select Nokia MixRadio > offline mixes. Long press any mix and then select Delete.
7. If you have a PC, connect your phone to a computer with a compatible USB cable. On your computer, use Windows Explorer and browse to your phone to see a list of the folders: Documents, Music, Pictures, Ringtones, and Videos. Right-click the file you want to move, select Cut, right-click a location on your PC, and then select Paste.

Volume botton problem in lumia 520

I had noticed many times that my lumia's volume was not working even though I minimized volume.

have you checked that your back cover is sealed on the phone correctly, and also tried performing a soft reset? also check that you are up to date with the latest firmware for your device and that you are up to date with the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store.

After an update to 8.1 my windows phone nokia lumia 520 has encountered a problem with the speaker. I am uable to play any music neither am i able to hear any ringtone of any kind. The phone had no problem till an automatic update took place when i got connected

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

Problems after amber update in my lumia 520

I have updated my lumia 520. After it there is regular fluctuation in my internet connection even my data setting is on and battery is also discharging quickly after update.

hi mate,
have you checked that you are up to date with all the latest Nokia system app updates from the Store? also try performing a soft reset, and check your Network+ and Access Point settings in the Settings.

Amber update is not working in my lumia 520

sir,
i have installed new update in my lumia 520 .it installed fully and successfully but i cannot find of new features in my phone !!?? features like call+sms filter ,radio and so on.., how can i solve this problem.

Perhaps a more helpful answer is to install "Lumia System Updater". That app will allow you to check and update all the system apps on your phone (such as "extras+info", "about" etc.) that are required for the Amber/GDR2 update to be "seen".

Regarding an update in my lumia 520

I have updated my 520 a couple of days ago with lumia amber update...and now today it was showing me a new phone update. I tried to download the update but it got failed. After that i restarted my phone and it was showing no updates available.
what was that update about???
and why it disappeared???

no worries mate, yeah not too sure about speech update but if it is working fine now then wouldn't worry too much about it unless it popped up again and was causing problems.

Mobile network problem in my lumia 520

Once network gone, I have to Restart it then again mobile network come.calling proble occurs many times even network is dispayed. Network problem sshould be rectify.

Hi mbkrish,
Do you experience the network issue regardless of your area? Aside from calling, are the other network services working fine like SMS messaging and mobile data connection? Is this for a Lumia 520 as well? If so, I hope you're using a standard microSIM and not a cut one as this is what the phone is designed to use.
BTW, the reset that the Nokia Care Center recommended is the one under Settings > about, is that right? After the reset, have you checked if the system apps are updated? Go to Settings > swipe to applications > store > check for updates.
Let us know how it will go.
