The 50mb restriction only applies to Microsoft store. You can download as much as you want with uc browser, there's no limit

d 50mb restriction self has been lifted to 100mb

Just got a Lumia 520 yesterday. I've been trying to find my way around the phone and it looks too empty for me. Maybe its because I'm used to android phones. But I don't wanna regret getting a windows phone. What should I do to spice up the phone

I use the same phone too. It may however look empty to you if you are new to the window OS. Try and get an active internet plan, if you are a gamer, or love social networking, there are so many apps you can download to spice up the phone - Instagram, PicMix, viber ... Check preevious posts for list. Though, for now, it has its own downsides but Overtime, you'll get to love the phone.

Thanks for replying. I have downloaded most of the apps listed here. Tried downloading a pdf file today and it took ages. Had to transfer to my android and I got the job done in no time. Also noticed the touch screen ain't too sensitive. I feel I made a wrong choice.

Wannna dispose the phone anyways. Wouldn't advice anybody to go for 520.

Pls i have htc window phone and whenever i want to download application it will give windows live id service is unavailable right now. Try again later. And i have working window live account i even did factory reset settings is still the same. Can you pls help?

If u have an internet connectn n a debit/credit card, its quitee difficult to complain bout d phone considering its price

no b to park plentyy game put 4 phone b matter cuz 80% or more of d goood games are paid apps

Please i need help. When i connect my lumia to my system, it detects it as a camera. Its pretty difficult knowing which file is which in the camera folders thereby making it difficult to copy. Plus, is there any way to use my phone as a modem

opinchinoo: d 50mb restriction self has been lifted to 100mb

Cool, there were some games I wanted badly then but couldn't get it. unfortunately, I've ported to Android

Windows 8 phone is not for everybody especially if you not that techy, else the limitations will drive you crazy.

Really? So you mean people that prefer Android phones to windows 8 phones ain't techy?

The limitations of the phone ain't something a techy person can cope with.

I believe downloading a PDF file is a function of your internet access and not the limitations of the phone.

As for the low sensitivity of the 520 , have your tried increasing it to high under the display+ touch menu settings . . .

To enjoy the lumia phones, you need to have the various GDR updates. We are expecting the GDR 3 next year even though a few of us have downloaded the GDR 3 via the developer permissions, all thanks to Microsoft.

I increased the sensitivity immediately I accessed the phone menu.

Will definitely get the GDR3 update.

For the pdf download, let me cut the phone some slacks and just assume it was the network.

Thanks.

Please I don't mean Android users ain't techy , it's a choice. Am referring to a beginner that choose Windows 8 phone for a start.

About the limitations, that is what I love about the Windows 8 phone OS.

Hahahaha. Is this the only touch screen phone you have seen dat works with gloves and nails?

OlamideGirl: i agree....d fone zz too sensitive o

Did u just say too sensitive?

Smh

I'm used to touching my andriod phone just once and it pops up but not with this one. Maybe I'm just a lil impatient with the phone.

Another flaw... No background light on the menu key so I have to grope in the dark trying to locate it.

comparing android n windows phone is jst plain stupidity (forgive the word. Couldnt find another) cuz its jst like wen pple compared java to symbian phones bck then. If u knw u couldnt adapt to a new OS, why change in the first place. About the touch, i dnt think u r using a lumia (IMO).

You're using Lumia 520 ,a budget phone, don't expect complete features. Next now you will complain that there's no camera flash

@Christine ... As for the touch, it's quite very sensitive and this is one of the edges it has over other phones. I've used so many other touch devices and I must say this is different, as in, it's on the forefront. For the background light, you don't wanna expect a low-end smartphone like this to have all feature. All these lapses are what are being corrected in the newer editions.

I'll just advice you stick to it for a while, you'll soon come to like it, or better still, go for higher models, or switch back to android. As for me, I combine the two, buh I just love the windows.
