Has been using lumia 520 for around 3 months and so and its working perfectly fine for me. Everything works smoothly, my phone didn't lag even once since I bought it laugh.gif

That's alright!!!
However if you are not in a hurry, wait for Lumia 525, it is almost the same like 520 but the processor is better and the RAM is 1GB and the price would be around a bit higher than that smile.gif Consider that as well biggrin.gif

when is the expected launching date?

hi guys, noob question. I'm finding way on how to save battery and I came to this;

Close any apps or features when you are done using it so they will not continuously running in the background.

how to make sure I close the apps? is it enough with the back arrow?

Any error given? Shouldn't be any problem: http://www.nokia.com/global/support/softwa...n-asia-pacific/

no error, it just if I check on phone updates, it said my phone is updated to most current one, I believe is GDR2.

I've check the version, it's the same as in the link.

Then you should had latest Lumia Amber firmware + GDR2 update.

If you referring that Extras + Info section in settings didn't show Lumia Amber, try update it using following QR code:

or this link:

http://windowsphone.com/s?appId=2377fe1b-c...f3-fc517345a3c0

Or you can download lumia updater apps to access extras + info on Apps store.

P/S, seems now need to change region to US only can download it.

I downloaded Lumia Amber Check, it says that my phone is updated to GDR2.

but when I check at extras + info, it stated Lumia Amber.

why got two different version in my phone?

First thing need to clarify:

GDR2: Grand Distribution Release 2 by Microsoft for WP8.

Unlike the first GDR1 (Portico), where Microsoft release the update to phone owner by themselves.

But after GDR1, Microsoft had changed policy and will release the GDR to all WP8 phone manufacturer (Nokia, Samsung, HTC, Huawei), let the phone manufacturer doing their own hardware testing and may bundle it with their own firmware update, so different phone manufacturer will release GDR2 update different time.

For Nokia, Nokia choose to bundle it with their own firmware update (Lumia Amber) and release it to all Nokia WP8 phone owner.

So if you had Lumia Amber firmware on your phone, your phone had already updated with GDR2. Since the GDR2 is bundled inside Lumia Amber update when you download it.

thanks for the explaination bro. so my phone is updated to the latest one right.

I thought Amber have FM radio, but I cannot find it.

FM Radio is located at XBox Music + Video, need earphone as antenna to hear it.

Only Lumia 620 don't support FM radio after update to GDR2 due to hardware limitation.

my phone don't have XBox Music + Video, so need to install from store?


QUOTE(Atomars @ Nov 26 2013, 11:03 AM)
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.

got glance, but can do nothing. sad.gif

From your apps list, search from alphabets M, you should find Music + Videos.

Inside Music + Videos apps, you should found something like this:
