I would suggest you wait for couple of days as you’ll get Lumia Cyan firmware update first so you don’t run into any issues later.
The problem is if you upgrade to WP 8.1 before Lumia Cyan, you need to wait for a Bitlocker and low memory space fixes that the WP team is still working. If you do other way round, you don’t have to worry about it then.
In case ...

FIFA 14 requires a Windows Phone with 1GB of RAM to run, so unfortunately the Lumia 520 will not run this game.
If you search for FIFA 14 in the Store app, it won't show up as games or apps that require 1GB of RAM are hidden.
If you happen to open a direct link to the game, either on your phone or via the Windows Phone website, you should see a message ...

From the documentation for Word Mobile:
Word Mobile doesn't support all the features in Microsoft Word 2010 or later. If a document has content that's not supported, you can still open the document on your phone. The unsupported content won't be displayed though, and you might not be able to edit the document.

I don't think that it can be changed. The key combination is defined by Microsoft, and no customization can be made to it.

No, the battery should not be pulled from the phone every two days.
From a Windows Phone perspective
There is no need to restart your phone every few days. In fact, the only time the phone needs to be restarted is when there is a system app (eg. the glace screen app) or system update (eg. the Denim update).
From a battery perspective
Removing it from the ...

You should be able to transfer data to your new SD card using the Storage Sense app - you'll also see that there is the option to save new items (photos/videos/etc.) to the SD card, as well as the option to install new apps to the SD card.
Not all apps allow themselves to be installed on an SD card, and some may need to be moved back if the developer ...

I think you should first recover your phone and worry about Windows 10 later. After your phone is up again you can try the Windows Insider App and go to Release Preview Ring and see if you can get the updates. Because I think you will still be able to get the last update 10.0.10586.xxx.

Sounds like you may have Super sensitive touch enabled. This lets you use your phone with gloves, but can be annoyingly sensitive if just using your bare hands.
To disable this, go to Settings → touch, and set "Touch sensitivity" to normal.

As far as I know, both of those games require 1 GB of RAM(1), and the Lumia 520 only has 512 MB. So that's the reason you're not able to find them in the Store. This should be standard behaviour - apps that aren't compatible with your phone for whatever reason don't show up in searches.
You can always search for the app at WindowsPhone.com, or open the ...

So it worked when you tried with a different SIM right?? So its clear that its not your phone's problem :).The call conferencing is a feature that is given to a subscriber. May be the SIM you've tried, will have that feature. That's why its worked. Could you check to your local carrier ...

There are several apps that are able to play avi or mkv files. I did a quick Google search on Windows Phone 8 mkv. Here are some examples:
MoliPlayer Pro (costs 2.99, good score after 78 reviews)
CCPlayer (free, 4/5 after 400 reviews)
It's up to you to install, I didn't try any of them. I just want to show that there are apps available for playing videos ...

AFAIK the best option would be Threema. This messaging tool is made by a swiss company supporting end-to-end encryption and no need for any personal data if you don't want. According to the company any data will be deleted from their servers as soon as a message was delivered. I haven't tried it myself yet but I heard some good things.

Your internet speed is limited by your WiFi Speed and distance you are from the WiFi source. If your ISP provider gives you slow speed, you can try to upgrade your bandwidth - there is nothing that Windows Phone or your WiFi can do anything here :)

This is a rather nuclear option, but presumably you could:
back up your phone (Settings > Backup > Apps+Settings, press Back up now)
install the update
downgrade with Windows Phone Recovery Tool
restore from your backup
