That's how it should work, right!!
Why do you expect the calendar to show past events?

maybe for you
but i like to see all the events in one month
be it past/present/future
there should have been an option atleast

congrats
mohit9206 on your purchase..
welcome to the family

my suggestion
get a matte screen guard should cost abt rs150 in local shop
& a flip cover from the roadside for abt rs150 more (for the time being)

yet to find a good cover online from reputed brands

For screen guard get some antiglare,antifigerprint matt finish screen guard. I guess veegee is available in most online sites ₹ 300-350 for pack of 3.

If you prefer flipcase then Nillkin case is best option but you need to get it from china thru aliexpress.com OR dhgate.com.

Its personal preference , after investing ₹550/- on capdase case I realised its not for me.

The usb cable provided is very short.Why does Nokia always provide such short usb cables ?
Also i bought some cheap SGP back case and cheap screen protector.

WP is so secure that system files can't be accessed by any apps.
Even the apps from store operates in a limited sandbox and can't access system areas.

Through Nokia software updater ? Nokia suite is not detecting the 520.
I guess ota update is available only to selected users.
Whether it's detecting as a mass storage first? If not, there might be a driver issue problem.
I got my Amber update late by mid of November, just hit the 'Software update' under settings once in a day or two.

I didn't get any notification for Amber update, i manually checked and update.

First I'm confused that is Amber = 8.1 ?

Phone is not showing any update,I checked.

And yeah of course mass storage is being detected. There's no need for any driver for that.

Also, I've read somewhere that Nokia suite isn't made compatible with lumia phones intentionally. There was a update, Nokia suite v5.0 which purportedly supported lumias, was taken down later.

Amber is not 8.1. MTP USB driver needs to be there in your OS, in order to show the mass storage devices. Since Windows takes care of installing the driver by themselves, it appears like that.

I did what gearbox said. Btw what is this Nokia suite ? I am aware of only the retail updater for Nokia, but that one clean-flashes your phone.

Edit: Read your second post as well. No, Lumia phones dont use the Ovi/Nokia suite of old anymore. I had once read about a trick where you can force the phone to give you the OTA prompt, but dont remember it now. I think it involved repeatedly checking if there is an update :>
