I bought Lumia 520 1 week back, i'm facing the problem while playing music. Once it started to play, if i try to reduce or increase the volume, it is not working. It is just playing with the same volume(when it starts to play). Please suggest me is there any setting have to change or phone issue?

              Microsoft upgrade blunder gives people one more reason
              not to buy a Windows Phone

              By Preston Gralla

              As if people needed one more reason not to buy a
              Windows Phone, Microsoft has given them another: A
              Windows Phone 8 device you buy today may not be able
              to be upgraded to Windows Phone 8.1. Then again,
              maybe it can. Either way, Microsoft isn't saying. This is
              no way to help a struggling smartphone operating
              system.

              Computerworld's Matt Hamblen tried to find out from
              both Nokia and Microsoft whether existing Windows
              Phone 8 devices will be able to be upgraded to Windows
              8.1. The bumbling non-answers he was given are
              astonishing.

              Hamblen got in touch with Nokia and asked whether
              Nokia's Windows 8 Phones, including the high-end
              Lumia 1020 and the lower-cost Lumia 520 would be
              upgradable to Windows 8.1. A Nokia spokeswomen
              emailed him this answer:

              "We don't comment on future products, but
              Microsoft has confirmed that smartphones
              running Windows Phone 8 will be upgradeable
              to Windows Phone 8.1."

              Seems pretty clear, doesn't it? But clarity, apparently,
              isn't something that Nokia or Microsoft is interested in.
              Two hours later she sent back a non-clarification with
              this non-answer:

              "Microsoft has confirmed that smartphones
              running Windows Phone 8 will be upgradeable."
              Upgradeable to what? you might wonder. Nokia isn't
              saying. Either is Microsoft. The company told Hablen
              that the Windows Phone operating system:
              "is upgradeable ... If or how individual devices
              are upgraded has not been announced."
              Thanks, Microsoft. That clears up things.

              Jack Gold, an analyst at J. Gold Associates, was harsh
              but right on target when he said this to Hamblen about
              Microsoft's refusal to provide an answer to whether
              Windows Phone 8 devices will be able to be upgraded to
              Windows 8.1:

              "Of the majors, only Microsoft seems to be hiding
              the facts or at least not being straight about
              them. Users have a right to expect a yes or no
              answer" as to whether their specific devices are
              upgradeable. In this case, both Microsoft and
              Nokia are at fault for not being straight with
              their customers, which seems like a repeat of the
              same story we saw the last time Windows Phone
              had a major upgrade."

              The upgrade he's referring to is Windows Phone 7 to
              Windows Phone 8 --- Windows Phone 7 devices couldn't
              be upgraded to Windows Phone 8. And Gold was being
              gentle with Microsoft here, because he calls the
              company one of "the majors" when it comes to a
              smartphone operating system. Windows Phone 8 has a
              market share of only around 3% . Calling Microsoft a
              major is a bit of a stretch.

              Microsoft is so far behind in the smartphone market that
              it can't afford blunders like this. Any phone you buy
              should be able to be upgraded to at least a point release
              in the operating system -- from Windows Phone 8 to
              Windows Phone 8.1, for example. People expect that,
              and justifiably so.

              Microsoft should also be honest with people about
              whether phones they're considering buying today will be
              able to be upgraded to a minor operating system
              upgrade in the next several months. Not to do so is
              arrogance -- and when you've got a 3% market share
              you can't afford to be arrogant.

              If I were considering buy a Windows Phone today, I'd
              cross it off the list. I'm sure other people feel the same
              way. Why buy a phone that may not run the newest
              operating system that will be released in a few months?
              And why buy from a company that won't answer the
              most basic question about a phone's capabilities?
