have you restart your phone??

Yes, I already restarted my WP. It prompted me to restart when I changed to United States.

But anyway, at least now I can download "Six-Guns" where I have trouble downloading it before.

I know lots of you like putting Asian lengluis as wallpapers, and good news is, there's an app to let you do that easily called Chinese Girls available for free for a limited time.

I use 500 Backgrounds for that btw. I prefer sultry shots =)
*
So, Windows Phone Store also offers free apps for a limited time ? I didn't know that.

But I like to use nature wallpapers, therefore I just use LockScreen Free.

Thanks for the info anyway.

50% of what 500 Backgrounds offers are nature stuff. I'd highly recommend that app.

And yeah, lots of free apps that come around. Download myAppfree and Appdeals to keep track of them. And subscribing to a WP RSS feed and the WP subreddit helps too.

Almost all Disney games are free now fyi.

Cool, thanks for the tips. I appreciate them.

Wtf windows phone. I took several photos this afternoon and now when I want to find it, they were not in the photos app and nowhere to be found. It happened just a few days ago with the smart camera, I took several bursts and the phone hanged.

Hmm, what Lumia model do you use ?

L520 does not support Glance, but the settings are there after updating.

But you can't change anything in there and therefore is useless on L520 lol.

maybe they put in 1GB ram so the device can be more future proof?? hmm.gif  hmm.gif

All I know is, some heavy apps lag when running on 512MB of RAM.

For UI and other light apps, it is still quite smooth though.

I tried many, but I stuck with the default one in the end. Its gonna be a major update either before or during the WP8.1 update btw to keep it in line with the W8 one.

Other music apps that, to me, are the creme of the crop in the app store are Audiotica V Beta (have to download via link), Nokia MixRadio and Spotify (could use major improvements but what the hell).

I don't like the default music player, too slow (with all the animations) IMO.

What is the reason that I can't see Facebook Beta in my L520 store? sad.gif

If you are in Malaysia, use this link http://www.windowsphone.com/ms-my/store/ap...d5-a87b33247ec6

Make sure your phone number is correct before downloading. If not, it will not download.

I actually don't use Facebook app much in WP8 lol.

I installed it, but rarely use it.

Therefore, I don't notice any notification difference.

I just read that L520 is the most popular WP.

Probably because of the price.

hey, anyone knows what is the average file size for a song in Nokia MixRadio?

is it normal size 3-5mb, or is it compressed?
*
The music streaming ?

I'm guessing around 1-5 MB.

That depends whether you use Nokia Music or Nokia Music+ too.

But the biggest question is: Can I, as a Lumia 520 user, upgrade to WP 8.1?

It would be great if L520 can run WP8.1.

But if not, I guess that's the reason for L525.
