Lumia 520 : Discussion thread

[Flash]

Guys, you should've joined for the Lenovo Vs Nokia fight soon..

Thank you for joining us ["Other storage problem" owners club].

-There's no permanenent fix as of now. But you can try apps like "Shrink storage" and "Storage cleaner" from Windows store to freeup some memory.
-You can also try installing "Lumia storage check" app to clean temporary files. Check for an app with huge-cache(app data), uninstall it and reinstall it. That will cleanup lots of space.
-Clear your browsing history.


Both these readers can't react to PDF's stored on SD card. Copy the docs to "Documents" folder in Phone storage, and there you will see.
There's a PDF reader i've heard, which reads PDFs from SD card, but can't remember the name now.

Used shrink storage, even though the area under "other storage" is still the same, the total free phone memory has gone up significantly..

Try running the "Storage cleaner" app multiple times.
For every run, it will reduce some space (in MBs). Stop it, when it no longer reduce.

For once, there wasnt much of a fight really. I mean, the L520, if not for the limitations of WP8, wipes the floor with the Lenovo in question. As a matter of fact it wipes the floor with nearly everything else beneath 15k AFAIK. If thats not VFM, then I dont know what is.

What is the solution to the pdf issue?

I dont have a problem with the OS of Lumia ,I actually enjoyed it more over the androids ,which I believe everybody is bored of as of now. They might say a Zillion apps for android and too less for WP8, I say so what, a lot of apps on android are pure trash. WP8 came as a fresh breath.

Does Lumia 520's video camera focus the image automatically, or does it feature the ability to focus the image manually?

 

[pranav0091]

^ No manual focus in the stock app and its not getting the the pro-camera app from Nokia, but I guess the pro-shot app should help.

@Gearbox, can you try out the app called pro-shot and let us know ?

Yes. Pro-shot got manual-focus, but it's not that much good with 5MP of L520 (i've tried indoors)
Isn't the pro-camera app specific to Lumia 1020 (atleast, as of now)?

Here's the screenie from Wstore..

Hey, Gearbox, here's a small tip. use longer shutter speeds and lower ISO on a stable phone> you will be surprised

Thanks for trying it out

The pro-camera app is coming to the Pureview branded Lumias soon, although right now its only on the 1020. But then the 1020 isnt even available yet

Why the hell Nokia used Glass to cover screen ? 520 and 620 don't have Gorilla Glass, just very cheap glass that will break when falling from 40 cm to the ground. Already I have read several reports of broken screen glass online.

My Phone has dropped 3 times from waist height. Still as Good as new... Very robust, I would say.

You need to save all the documents in the Phone memory under "Documents"..

You can also try creating a "Documents" folder in SD card and saving the file there, though i havnt tried this.. If it works then do tell me..

Won't work..

 

[pranav0091]

^ It does. Open it via the Office app. Dont create any subfolders inside the default Documents folder, just dump all your pdfs there.

 

[ShankJ]

well the office just checks data on the following places-Phone, E-Mail, SkyDrive.. How would it check under SD card??

 

[pranav0091]

Format the SD caard using the phone and see if it creates the default folders.

Does Lumia 520 use Micro simcards? Another question, does the mediaplayer allows song queuing and creating platlists?
