Cheers to the sleeper hit of Windows Phone 8!

Plus, from Nokia Conversations:
The Lumia 520 will be coming to T-Mobile!

EDIT: Apparently, a Lumia 520 variant will be coming to T-Mobile, called the Lumia 521.

Does it have city lense ?...I herd that Nokia didn't put it on this device, is it true ?

Also does the device have glance ?

No Glance, no Double Tap To Wake

with that high spec( Processor name: Snapdragon™ S4
Processor type: Dual-core 1.0GHz
RAM: 512 MB), too bad it doesn't have any many supportive third party kickin' app
multi format video palyer for example, or no file manager, and so on.
it seems that this nokia windowsphone(and other windowsphone) is not focussing on what market want, but they try to put new ideas to the market.
better with windows mobile 6.0 for working, why don't the developer(microsoft) just change or combine the old windows mobile 6.0 with the touchscreen stuff, and deep penetration with social media and skydrive, instead of wasting money on something new with also cost more money to introduce it to the market?
after seeing all the reviews about (lumia)windowsphone 8 on youtube, they just keep me hesitate of buying the product.
still, there are many bugs need to fix with this mighty windowsphone 8(rever to the forums and uploads). immediately!!
yes there's nothing perfect, but at least we get what we really need and want. not just the commercials and offers that keep us confusing.
peace.

There's no way to turn the sound on automatically. It has to be done manually using "ringtones+sounds" under settings or accessing it by pressing up or down on the volume button.

Press the button harder after it focuses on the object.And btw everything works properly on this phone.So stop complaining.I also thought that this shutter button was a prob but it isn't.There are many things which we don't know abt Wp8.But keep experimenting.Hope this helped you.

The AT&T Lumia 520 and only the AT&T Lumia 520 has it.

It might be possible to get it to work by flashing the firmware, though.

Does the 520 work with any pre-paid carrier? Not Verizon/Sprint/T-mobile pre-paid but like Net10, AIO, etc?

 

[Leo Schatz]

Very informative, thanks.

Hi Brother,
It happened to my Lumia 520 also. What you need to do is, remove back cover, the button will be visible. Check the button is okay by pressing it using a pen. If that looks to be good, it has probably gotta do with the button on the back cover. Check that it is freely getting pressed and while putting the back cover in place again, put the downside part in place firmly at first and then the upper one. Hope this solves your problem.

Same here.

Hope it's not our hardware, but rather something that can be fixed in a software update.

Double tap to wake & glance wont work on L520 due to hardware restrictions.

 

[BlackGoku]

It does "not" work on AT&T Nokia 520s. I don't know where that information came from that it only works on AT&T phones; I called AT&T and was informed that it was a Nokia hardware problem not a AT&T restriction on the phone.

Go to youtube and watch wpcentral video by Daniel Rubino of Lumia 520 with Amber software though its pretty old now hence u might say that they removed the feature.Unlucky 520 users!
