    I have a nokia lumia 520. When reading a web page maybe 75% down i apparently sometimes make some small movement that brings it right back to the top of the page. I am not sure what the move is. Does anyone know it is ?very annoying

    There's nothing you can do unfortunately. It's due to an incompatibility between Internet Explorer and the website, and while the website could correct it, they won't, as Windows Phone 8.X has such a small market share.

    It's fixed in Win 10 mobile, but I'm pretty sure that the fix was never put into WP8. Make sure that you're on the latest WP8 version available is the only way to check really.

    Sadly no. The 520 (and a lot of other low end WP8 phones) is just not able to run it unfortunately.

    I gave up on my 520 it was just too slow and W10 was much better. The 650 is dropped in place if you want a cheap upgrade. The future of WP is uncertain. I still like it though.

    MS have said they won't make anymore Lumia Phones.

    The talk is they will produce a surface phone aimed at business.

    I have a battered 640. I'm tempted to buy a 650 myself before they are all gone. Not sure if its worth it.
    I got a Android phone to switch to, but haven't moved my main sim yet. Not really a fan of Android. But more stuff works properly on it.
