Lumia 520 : Discussion thread

[noob]

Are you sure about that (whatsapp)? I mean how does one get messages just after exiting the app (the back button exit) if the service is updated only once in 30 minutes? I am asking just because I am curious, and since you are developing for WP, I guess you'll be in a better position as compared to me to answer this

Yes. What i said is right. It is the push notification we get when the app is not in foreground.

WhatsApp does not have a logout mechanism. The application is designed to always be connected so that you receive your messages quickly, even when you are not actively using your phone. This is similar to how SMS works and allows WhatsApp messages to be delivered almost instantly.

This is for Nokia phones (S40/S60), but am not sure whether it's applicable to WP too

WhatsApp FAQ - WhatsApp is always on and connected, how do I log off?

There is an app called Stop the Music, I guess it kills all services piggybacking on the music API somehow. Maybe it can be used too.

Is there any third party music apps which have software equalizer for Lumia 520 ?

Just connect it like you would connect any android phone. Why do you use the app? Kill it via the task manager, just to be sure. The phone should appear below the drives in My computer.

Has anyone here bought Asphalt 7 Heat? Is it non-laggy and worth the buy?

^ We can try the demo.

Demo runs flawlessly on the 920 (1 gb version, never updated the game to the 512 mb version)

My IDBI Visa Debit Card is compatible with Windows Phone App Store. Pleasantly surprised.

Not really in a mood to download 512 MB demo. Just wanted first hand experience if anyone here has bought it.

Of course it does

Figured out my 2G/3G problem. Actually, BSNL's 2G is so pathetically slow on my phone that many app refuses to work with it and show Network error. Whatsapp, Internet Explorer work. I tested it with SpeedTest, and here's the result.

This was for a server in my own city.

And even my 3G was so slow, that I assumed it to be 2G. I am getting about 300kbps when I set it to 3G.

My battery life has considerably improved. Lasts the day, now. Cautious use + Few tweaks did the job.

If you can bargain, you can get it for 9.3~9.7k.

The mobile store people had put up 9.8K as their starting price, i'l try to squeeze in a 8GB memory card + Screen guard for 9.8K, so would bring the price of the cell to around ~9.4k..

L520 FTW!!
