I'm sticking with the apps that come with the OS because I don't want a Microsoft account to download apps. So I'm wondering if my 520 will get a Windows Phone 10 update and a new camera app that allows manual focus.

On my Lumia 520 I seem to be stuck with auto focus which sometimes produces blurry photos. Last night I took about 20 photos of the same traffic accident and they were all blurry. I tried tapping a few different parts of the screen, I tried pressing the button instead of tapping the screen, I...

I believe an app called the number, or maybe somehow my carrier did it. I wish there was a "how did this happen" button that could tell me whether there were screen presses of the number or whatever. I don't believe I literally pocket dialed it. I want a water resistant phone anyway. And...

My phone has that feature, but it told me it was an outgoing call. I blocked it anyway but it's looking like my phone is infected with something. No, I don't want to reset anything. I don't trust any apps because of the TOS most of them have about accessing all kinds of things that shouldn't be...

It looks like I somehow pocket called a number and a website tells me "Around 50% of people reported it as "Scammer/Fraudster." I never called that number before. It happened after I put the phone in my back pocket. 30 seconds later I heard a recording that said to press 1 if I want to be added...

Good news!

I converted this map to a 300 dpi jpg using this tool but when I uploaded it to my phone I wasn't able to enlarge it enough and I couldn't see it at a decent resolution. I had to save less than 1/4 of it for it to be clear enough when enlarged. Then I tried the full map at 150 dpi and I had the...

I think I found a couple. AJays 5 and Nokia Purity. The Purity is on that Microsoft page that I had checked. I thought I read that the volume controls don't work but now I'm reading that they do. The only problem is the build quality. The problem with the AJays 5 is the weight of the cord...

There's a model for the iPhone and a different model for Android according to this video. I'm afraid to order now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=metpkMuM2g4

Yes! I read about the problems and the fix and it sounds good. Someone on Amazon confirmed it should work with Nokia phones. I assume the volume controls work or else you wouldn't have recommended it. (the volume controls work, right?) I'll just do a little more research before buying. I hate...

Nope. I reviewed several and I don't see that they have volume controls. I'll buy one without volume control if I have to but if there's one with it I'd rather have that.

Anyone know what earbuds with adjustable volume (vol. up AND down) will work with the 520? I'm looking for something on the inexpensive side. I can't even find any at Headsets & Headphones for Mobile Phones - Accessories - Microsoft - USA

OK, now I guess UHS works on the 520. The manual doesn't say and I've been avoiding UHS. Shopping will be easier now.

UPDATE: Please post your offers in this thread. I'd like to give others the chance to tell me of the card isn't compatible with the Lumia 520. Compatibility is a requirement.

In case I wasn't clear, the price needs to be under $30 and I don't do gift payments. I think 4GB cards go for like $4-$6, so I wouldn't take one, for example, for $35. I'm looking for a "great deal" otherwise I'll go with Amazon or Ebay or a local chain. Here are some prices I found on Amazon...
