Because is app from Nokia collection, you can use this trick and try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400715

It probably won't work due to being tied to the display driver, hence it won't work on the Lumia 520.

That's strange...make sure your settings are correct in the phone, under settings...
I have an issue with the HTC Hub as well but it is not location related. My HTC Hub does not play the sound effects regularly when I am looking at the weather forecast.
I have ensured that they are set to ON, have rebooted the device, etc but the sounds just refuse to play.
Anyone with a similar issue or any advise on this?
Thanks...

I dont have the Live Tile issue but my sound effects dont play as they should. I believe I had this same issue before I updated to NoDo.
Its not the end of the world for me if the sound effects dont play but it would be nice if they did.

Download and install SysApp Pusher from the store. There in the System menu you'll find Glance, tap it and follow the screen
I doubt it is possible to get 3 columns of medium tiles on your device. The screen is too small for it.
The 3-column thing is a registry change, we don't currently have the ability to edit the registry on the 520.
It would look pretty bad anyhow, given the low resolution of the 520.
Also, I think it's restricted to 720p or larger resolutions only, so no love for WVGA... Again, I'm not sure of this, but it looks that way.

I tried this method...but the app doesn't work after installing.....perhaps if there's a tweak or something for it....i am really desperate for it
but I have seen many reviews of glance app saying that they got L520 by some method...please tell me if anyone knows...
Also there was another request...can I get the windows phone 8.1 preview provided to only some developers....I can't wait a month for it
If anyone can send me the link or the method to install wp8.1 or just the action centre without the update would be just fine.
Thanks a lot.
No, you can't. There's nothing you can flash available yet, this was said many times...

That's interesting.
I have similar problems with extras+info after I have updated to Black
Are you on Amber or Black? Go to Settings >> extras+info. There must be indicated whether it's Amber or Black.

[Q] Nokia 530 Cortana newbie

All
Just purchased a UK unlocked Nokia Lumia 530 to play with. Ive noted that Cortana does not seem to be installed even though I am running Cyan which I thought was the latest version of 8.1?
Ive made sure my regional settings and keyboard are set to UK as I had read that this could cause issues if set incorrectly.
Any pointers would be appreciated

Yep, all of the above settings are set. I did note that when setting up the phone and often after a restart it defaults the date to 1st July 2014 so I've had to manually set the date. The sim, phone and account are all new.
Im assuming that I should see an application called Cortana listed. The particular feature I'm after is the quiet hours feature of Cortana.

did you look under settings ?
is there Cortana or quiet hours ?
because if i remember you need to turn on Cortana first.
Ive been right through the settings and cannot see anything about Cortana or quiet hours anywhere.

test it by setting everything to USA , and look if it then works
Set the phone to US. It restarted a couple of times and downloaded various language packs but no Cortana.
I cannot see Cortana in the app list or anywhere to enable it in settings.
Im well versed with IOS and Android including rooting and fiddling with Cyanogenmod so am not a total numpty when it comes to Mobile devices but due to being a Windows Phone newbie I could be getting something basic wrong...
Thanks for your help so far.
Woohoo.. Got Cortana working by fiddling with the regional settings. I've now got the phone set as A US phone and it's now working. The language for the keyboard can stay as a UK keyboard so the £ appears correctly when typing. Weather reports in Cortana show as Fahrenheit and not centigrade but I can live with that for now.
I guess this means that Cortana is not fully supported on my phone in the UK yet?

Cortana for UK comes with WP 8.1 Update 1 which is only available on some of the new devices & on Preview for Developers users.

Ive only had my 530 for a week and have not made/received many calls as yet BUT I have noted that the top of the phone does seem to get hot when on a phone call.
Ive signed my device up to the developer program which allowed me to download an update to the phone and hey presto, Cortana works when phone is set to the UK. Problem solved...
I guess Cortana doesn't speak the King's English ?

If you know how to use bugjaeger i can get you further
You don't need to know the app in and out but you need to know how to connect it to your watch at least.
is it possibile to do certain apps? i have a computer but is there for mobile? if there isnt reply please
I don't understand your question. I can only help you if you can use the bugjaeger app to connect from your phone to your watch. That's the only way i know how to do it. If you can't use that app i can't help you
