Be sure to set it up to download maps to the card; see post 476 on p. 32 (or this direct link).
Thanks for the link!

No activation required. Once you eliminate the attempts by the phone to activate itself, set it up like any other Android tablet (Nexus, Galaxy Tab, etc). See my answer in post #505.
Thanks! I appreciate the info!

I've never bought a non-contract phone--how do these work? I see the Tracphone at Kroger requires the purchase of at least 30 days of talk time, but the Net10 says you can make that purchase after you get the phone home. Do they need phone "activation" to work as an Android tablet, or will they work with Android right out of the box (sign in to Google Plus and start downloading apps)?
When I grabbed them at kroger i did not have to buy the minutes right then...you can buy them later, if you choose to, or not at all. I believe some even transfer there current dumb phone accounts over to the new smartphone if they have tracfone already.

I've never had a Windows phone; I went from a Pocket PC/Bluetooth flip phone/GPS receiver combination to an Android phone. I still kind of miss the Pocket PC so I think the Lumia 520 might be an easy way to revisit Windows. At this price I couldn't resist it.

If the GPS app is as good as the reviews indicate, the Lumia will be dedicated to GPS duty for me. I hate the way turning on GPS runs down a phone battery. $20 for an extra phone beats $100 for a new Garmin, which was my other alternative.

Speaking of Amazon deals, the Fire HDX 8.9 is listed as an upcoming deal for tomorrow, starting in about 3.5 hours.

For my LG Optimus, and I think most LG phones you can skip the activation sequence by doing this:
When on the language selection screen --
Press these keys in this order: Volume Up, Volume Down, Back, Home

It worked for me and if you google "Skip activation on LG phone" you will find numerous videos and similar instructions for many different models.

Hope this helps somebody.
Cool - thanks for posting that tip

For those curious about activation, as per Amazon's Q & A for the Nokia Lumia 520:

Quote:
Can I connect to wifi networks without a sim card in it?

Yes you can. You can essentially use this as a wi-fi only media device similar to how an iPod touch works. Ignore the requests to activate the phone when you furst boot it up. And then put it in airplane mode so it stops looking for the sim card.

I got the phone too. I wasn't going to get it, but then I remembered I had a $10 credit sitting in my account. So now I have a $10 MP3/ streaming radio player.

I've been looking through the apps wow they are really limited. We need to start a thread on this phone so we can figure out what to use it for and which apps are worth trying.
