    SMS alert tones for 520

    Many thanks. I spoke with Nokia today and they confirmed that with Amber you can only use the tones from the preloaded selection for TEXT/IM, Email & voicemail. Also that the Black update will be available for Amber versions - guess we will just have to wait! Regards

    SMS alert tones for 520

    Many thanks for your response - now we know. Do you know if 'amber' updates to 'black'? I realise that the 520 is essentially a budget phone relative to the many smartphones on the market but I would have thought that existing software could easily be carried over. Regards

    SMS alert tones for 520

    The traditional - dit dit dit, dah dah, dit dit dit tone for an incoming text message is distinctive and more audible than anything on offer in the Windows/Nokia selection (in my opinion). I have recorded the alert in Windows as suggested in the Nokia manual in both a Wav and a MP3 format. On...

    Here Drive

    In Here Drive Navigation, you are supposed to have turn by turn voice guidance. I have all the 'settings' correct to give me this, but after the initial instruction on starting the journey there is no further turn by turn voice guidance given. Sorry for the confusion - I missed out 'no'.

    Here Drive

    I have checked that the voice has been selected for 'voice guided directions', but after the initial 'turn right at .......' there are is more voice guidance throughout the whole journey. The mapping seems to be perfectly OK but looking at the map too often is distracting. Any ideas
