    Lost phone locking

    Hi All, Whilst overseas recently I unfortunately lost my 520. I had to wait until I got home to issue the lock phone command from the PC but all it appears to do is send a txt message to the mobile phone number I registered which seems pointless if the person who found it just buys a new sim...

    Annoying thing with HERE Drive

    I haven't tried either of those things, but I guess that should be the first thing to do.

    Annoying thing with HERE Drive

    Hi All, I am finding that when using HERE Drive the last word of the guidance is getting cut off. Eg, In 300 meters turn 'blank', leave roundabout at the 'blank'. So I decided to install another GPS Voice Nav app and it works just fine (but it's only a trial version). Has anyone else had this...

    Integration with car nav system

    I read somewhere a few months back there is an app for iOS that put the images of the phone's nav software (as dismal as it is) on to compatible multimedia type systems found in modern cars these days, sort of like a remote screen thing where you see what is on the phone screen is mirrored on...

    lumia 520 change network IP manually?

    As Corepc said, typically you would configure the WiFi router to assign an IP address to a specific MAC address rather than forcing the device to have a fixed IP address.

    Can't dial number from Bluetooth connection

    Well, strange thing is it works ok in my wife's car, so I'm not sure it's 100% the phone at fault here. Just annoying that two other phones work fine in my car when my own phone doesn't.

    Can't dial number from Bluetooth connection

    Hi All, I have this annoying problem I can seem to sort out. My phone has paired to my cars radio fine (2012 Cruze), I can receive calls via Bluetooth no problem, I can view my contacts list on the cars radio, but if I press the call button on the radio nothing happens. If I dial using the...

    Auto Time Sync so wrong

    I did a search on here trying to find an answer but it appears the Auto Time Sync has been broken since Nov 2012 Is the time sync done via the cellular network (currently with Vodaphone in Australia) or WiFi? Either way, my 520 can sometimes be days out, it certainly never gets it right, what is...

    Stopping the phone vibration

    Thanks for the voting link, seems kid of pointless though, looks like a bunch of votes and complaints have been going on for a long time. Would certainly seem like a pretty simple set up item to add in though.

    Nokia PC Suite vs Windows Phone

    I have to say I am so disappointed Nokia have abandoned the Lumia range with their PC Suite software. The recommend (from Nokia) alternate software is Zune, but it's not alternate, it's some awful wanna be iTunes software (well, to me it is). On my old Nokia phone with PC Suite running, when a...

    Stopping the phone vibration

    Hi All, Just wondering if there is a setting to stop the phone vibrating when actions are taken, eg, pressing the Windows key,or the back button, I find it very annoying, there is no need for the vibrating feedback, I can see on the screen what is going on. TIA

    First thoughts on the 520

    I got mine for $175 AU, for that price you just can't fault it. Even if some bits might feel cheaper than it's big brothers just keep telling yourself how much you paid!
