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:

then you are in a problem.. you need to have WIFI to download files above certain size limit..

FFS!

It will take 2-3 more days to get delivered. There is some issue with the customs and that is why it has been delayed.

Does that work?

It never worked on my late 920. Not once, not even when I actually lost it :|

Yes It does work in India, I mistakenly rang my phone via Windows Phone when my wife was calling someone, the call was interrupted by a loud sound and her ears were hurt ! :p

You should try now to lock down your phone.

Which colour ? I'm using this flip case : Costs 280/- from local store feels premium and covers phone perfectly. Here are some pics taken with Lumia 520

@rdx_halo: I'll try again.

I was asked 750 rupees for that case from a upmarket mobile store here. Flatly told them on their face that I'd rather buy a new back cover than that for that price. Hunting for a screen guard over the weekend. But no case for the 520 :)

Have you bought the Memory card? Which class should we buy? I have noticed that the HD video bit rate is 8000 kbps.

no. if possible get class 10 without any second thought.

Class 6 is plenty. But it doesnt hurt to have a future proof card. That being said, AFAIK, UHS isnt supported - the card will work just fine, but dont expect any improved performance, overall.

EDIT: No Double Tap to wake coming for the 520 :|

If you have a Nokia Lumia 52x, 620 or 720, do not expect the update to bring the Double Tap to Unlock feature.
NOT FAIR NOKIA!!

Nokia Amber’s Double-tap to wake not coming to the Lumia 520, 521, 620 or 720 | WMPoweruser

I am planning to buy this phone for my sister. She won't be playing much games ( a few like temple run, subway surfer etc etc- Btw are these games on Windows :p ) and may click some pics but she'll be browsing net a lot on wifi. So will this a good choice for her?
How's it's battery life?

Temple run - Available.
Subway surfers - Not Available.
Battery - Enough for a day.

That lack of double tap tp wake up, although differentiation, is pretty lousy. That is going a bit too deep.

Really, what are the L620 users getting out of the Amber update anyways?

This is false. I just bought the Lumia 520, for at&t, it has Amber already installed and has double tap to wake. Not sure this Nokia community manager knows what they are talking about.


How is the build quality? How does it actually feel in hands?
It surely feels premium and very well built the back cover is satin like smooth.
