* What is Glance Screen Feature..?

 This feature is essentially a standby screen which displays the clock, battery level notification and allows the device to be awoken from sleep with a double tap. screen shot is given below.

This feature would also allow to wake up the phone with just a double tap on the screen. This should improve battery life of smartphones with AMOLED displays as it would turn on specific pixels rather than the entire display, unlike LCD panels.



  Lumia 520 and 521 (US version of Lumia 520) will be disappointed to know that the Glance Screen feature will not be available for their handsets as has been revealed by Nokia. This comes at a time when CEO Stephen Elop has been pressing hard on the success of this budget-friendly smartphone in countries such as India, China, and Thailand. These low price models have even been sold out at some places, giving a boost to the market share of Windows Phone 8.

In some other news reported by WPCentral some users of HTC 8X have been experiencing some difficulty after receiving the GDR 2 update. They are not able to use or even restart the device and this happens only when playing music on the smartphone. The update for Lumia series is expected to arrive later this month or in early August.
