Do I need to press power button everytime to wake up the screen from idle? This is very annoying.

Is there a app for swipe to unlock for Lumia?

With GDR2 update you will get double tap to wake up the phone. any 920/820 users can confirm as they have already got their update

Windows Phone Device Stats: August 2013

Lumia 520. As noted last month, Nokia’s strategy of shipping high-quality but inexpensive new low-end Windows Phone 8 handsets is really paying off. The Lumia 520 is still the number one handset overall and its extended its lead this month to 18 percent of all Windows Phones in use, up from 13 percent a month ago. But if you look at just Windows Phone 8 handsets—leaving out 7.x models—the 520 is fully 30 percent of all Windows Phone usage. That is amazing. (In the US, the nearly identical Lumia 521 has 8 percent of the market, good for 4th place.)

Yup do recommend some good case/cover and screen guard for L520 please.Also does anyone have any idea how much each color shell for L520 costs officially ? Also is Cyan color L520 available from any retailer or only from Nokia Priority Stores ? Also i am seeing black/white L520 going for cheaper while other colors especially Cyan selling for more money.Is there shortage of Cyan or something coz i want Cyan L520 only.

Got it, downloading as we speak 14% through

Whenever I'm trying to download via 3G any big apps (80 MB +), the phone requests me to use wifi because of large file size. I have 3G. Downlowding big files is not a problem. How can I force Lumia to use mobile data use when WIFI is not available? :crazy:

I downloaded via WiFi, I guess you need WiFi for it.


Which Lumia model you own?

I don't own any, they're my parents
520 and 820, got amber update on 820, but no glance screen option in display+touch


how much is the total download size?

They didn't mention the size but it downloaded in less than 1 hr on my 1mbps connection

I found a very useful feature in Lumia :

How to Find a Lost Nokia Lumia 520

Losing a phone is sort of a matter of life and death these days especially if you have confidential files on it. If you misplaced your phone or someone has stolen it, then keep calm and follow the steps below so you can locate your phone and lock or delete all data on it remotely. All you need to have is a Microsoft account on your phone.

1. On your computer, laptop or tablet, go to The Smartphone Reinvented Around You | Windows Phone (United States)

2. Then sign in using the same Microsoft account as on your phone.

3. Choose find my phone. From there you can:

> locate your phone on a map
> make your phone ring even if its in silent mode
> lock your phone and set it to show a message so it can be returned to you
> delete all data from your phone remotely


But does it work if there is no sim card or if the sim card is changed?
