If you are updated to Amber, Software release in extra+info will show as Lumia Amber.

could you please point out the imp. updates?
BTW I updated my phone to Amber, took almost 2 hrs 10 mins on 752 kbps speed. Noticed slight increase in the memory, earlier it was 1.86GB & after update 1.92 GB free.
Still Few cons for me...
1.No Alarm when Switched off the phone.
2. No Equalizer setting for music player.
3. Cannot directly close any background app by long pressing Back key.
Can anyone suggest some good music player with Equalizer Settings?

Those were never meant to come in this update. And 3 is a design change, rumored to come as "double tap to exit app" in the blue update due late february and close from the multitasking menu in the GDR3 (Bittersweet Shimmer).
And probably the music equalizer will never come to the l520, being limited to the L620 and higher models.
Just updated my phone. Datasense, color profiles, call/sms blocker, flip to silence and hopefully the others fix (got back some 200mb by the looks of it). Pretty decent update for me considering the L520 is the lowermost tier phone

No Doubts, its very decent update.
MS has to work on minor probs. like alarm when switched off, directly closing any background app etc.
Finally we need some very good third party Music app something like poweramp in Android.

I thought 520 does not have FM Radio but this chart says otherwise

Also, is it going to get next windows phone 8.1 update? I'm considering buying it. I really don't need high end phone and I like the look of 520 than 720.
Another quick question, will I be able to sync my gmail and google contacts with WP like Android? I did check official Q&A and it says I can but I read on this thread that I have to setup forward rule in gmail to outlook

Just need to connect the phone through USB, the phone and sd memory will be detected in mass storage mode and will be showing up in my computer.
For updating to amber via pc you need to download Nokia NSU software.

Remove both of those apps and then try. USB devices like the L520 dont need apps to be detected.
Also, do you have a net connection ?
If yes, leave the option to download drivers from the net ON. Not sure where is that setting on the PC though.

Nokia Ovi suit won't detect Lumia's and its for low-end Nokias.
Which OS you're using? If you're using XP, L520 won't get detected as 'Camera' i guess, but it won't be of no use.
Win7 and Win8 will automatically detect and show it as a mass storage. If it's not showing, then there's error with your MTP USB device driver in your OS. The only solution is to reinstall the OS..
Are you getting any error message?
Welcome to the Club.
I still didn't get the Lumia Amber update.
Anybody in Chennai got update for their L520?

welcome to club Lumia 520.
Being hardcore android fan I never considered this option untill I saw one in action & experienced.
