My AT&T L520 received black OTA today. Seems a little smoother, but I still have 1.2gb of Other.. My hotspot unlocked as well.

I have a Telus (Canada) Lumia 520 and the update is still 'waiting for approval', but something I noticed on the screenshots posted was that the Hardware Revision Number is different from mine. Its 1.6.0.1 and mine is 1.0.0.0. Does anyone know what the difference is?

Received the Black update for my AT&T L520 here in California as well as a number of Microsoft updates. Just sat down to start playing around with my phone to check it out - will report back later.

Before mine updated, my HRN was also 1.0.0.0 - now it's 1.6.0.1

Also, the Nokia North America Availability web page for the Black Update also still shows "Waiting for approval" for AT&T L520's here in the US so hope your Provider releases the update for you soon!

PS - love being able to finally add Custom Notification Sounds!!!

I received my update (AT&T L520). I had the Developer's Preview GDR3. The double tap to wake appears to be working much more reliably.

How did you get your hotspot unlocked? Did you pay for a tethering plan?

Also received the Black update on my AT&T 520 today. I do have the Developer's Preview GDR3. The double tap does work, did not work before update;. Unable to see any info on the phone concerning the 4.0 upgrade to the Bluetooth.

I didn't sign up for tethering, I'm on a 2gb mobile share. I don't think it includes tether.

The Lumia 520 is supposed to have Bluetooth 4.0 enabled with the Amber update.

Any ringtones/sounds you put on your phone will work for SMS notifications but there appears to be a 10 second maximum length limitation.
