Asha 501 and a2dp

hi there
i recently bought an asha 501 and didn't look too good at the bluetooth specs beforehand. this prooved as a big fault! i saw that it's bluetooth 3.0 so i thought that it has to support a2dp. but i had to learn that i doesn't. why?! even my sony ericsson p990 does supported this and this was like 6 or 7 years ago!
folks from nokia out there pls pls make a software update supporting this! beside that (and some other severe gaps in the software. e. g. no google calendar sync, no contacts sync, no whatsapp) i like this phone very very much! it's simple, fast, small, very user-friendly, fastlane is awsome, it has long battery life, the screen-keyboard is awsome too (much better than the one from android by the way!).
so can i count on a firmware update any time soon?
any answer is appreciated!

I can only guess because that bug could be anything (even the Bluetooth name of your phone could be a problem, something in the profile records, it could be a tiny bit).

Normally not.

Version should not matter either, that is the design of Bluetooth. Furthermore, there are a lot of A2DP 1.0 devices out there, I bet they work with your Volvo.

Well, I guess it is the same, at least my Nokia Asha 503 behaves very much the same as my Nokia Asha 501. Or stated differently: I have not found a difference, yet. Why do you not go for a Lumia?

  • Asha 501 and USB problems with MAC OSX 10.9

    I checked everywhere and I could not find any threads about this problem, so I'm asking here, in the official support forum.
    The problem is:
    Connecting the Nokia Asha 501 to the mac (via USB cable), and selecting "external memory", the memory card is mounted and I can browse the contents, BUT the photos show corrupted. I even lost some, because I tried to open them in the Preview app on the mac. (take a look at the attached photo of this post, a screenshot clearly showing corruption)
    Importing the photos via Bluethoot works, and the photo on the phone are showing fine. The memory card is okay, I checked with an external card reader.
    Also:
    - This problem does not show with Windows 7/8
    - This problem does show with other Mac OS X
    The phone is updated, I flashed it with the Nokia Software Updater and I formatted the memory card.
    Any help?

  • WH 205 on Asha 501

    I lost my factory headset of nokia asha 501 and so I bought a new wh 205 headset. The sound quality is really awesome but the microphone doesnt work or it is unsupported on 501. Is there any way that I could make the headset fully compatible on my asha 501 by using some sort of adapters or connectors or stuffs something like that???? Or is there any other way to make it work???
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The phone ships with Nokia Stereo Headset WH-109. The other headset model I know for sure the phone to be compatible with is WH 208.
    WH 205 is an older headset model (shipped for example with number of old Symbian phones), so it probably has not been tested to be compatible with Asha 501.

  • Asha 311 Vs Asha 501

    I'm confused between Asha 311 and Asha 501.
    Both are available at roughly the same price.
    Asha 311 has 128 mb ram meaning butter smooth UI and lag free experience. It also has many apps most prominent the Whatsapp and also has 3G
    Asha 501 has a beautiful swipe UI,good looks and numerous improvements over S40 and most importantly it has a development path going forward.
    I'm a little suspicious about buying Asha 501 because it doesn't have whatsapp and there's no news on when or if Whatsapp will be made available for Asha 501 and it has only 64 mb ram so i think UI transitions will be slow and not smooth and the experience will be laggy.

    its better to go for 311 because its developd from nokia developer platform 2.0 where as 501 from nokia developer platform 1.0 . So its better to choose 311 and its having more ram and as a result u can run so many apps of different kind without lagging. Click accept as solution if u r satisfied.

  • Asha 501: A2dp works on asha platform?

    Hi,
    I just want to know whether we can expect a2dp(play songs via bluetooth device) in the asha platform. Is it the new asha platform not supporting it?
    Or else Nokia is trying to push its users to the LUMIA version of mobile.  Even the basic phones are supporting this feature now a days.

    I can only guess because that bug could be anything (even the Bluetooth name of your phone could be a problem, something in the profile records, it could be a tiny bit).

  • Asha 501: VoIP, TLS and certificates

    Hi
    I've recently added sip account to my Asha 501. It works great when I use UDP or TCP transport, but when i switch to TLS it can't connect to the server. I think, this may be caused by self-signed server certificate.
    So, is there a way  to add my own certificates to Nokia Asha 501 ?

    Hi.
    I am trying to use TLS in voip environment  and I am in a cross roads.
    The guy who manages the asterisk server sent me two certificates: One CA.crt and another User.pem.
    I have been able to make the asha 311 accept the CA.crt (after changing it to a ca.der file, according to this post: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Asha-and-other-Nokia-Series-30/HOW-TO-INSTALL-ROOT-Authority-CERTIFI...
    But when I try to download the User.pem certificate, I get a message saying "no gateway reply".
    So, I have two questions. ONe is, do I relly need these two certificates - is it that the asterisk guy is over complicting things?
    The other is. if I need this pem file, how can I make the mobile accepct it?
    thanks in advance.

  • Asha 501- email account doesn't open images and ca...

    I'm using my gmail account in the asha 501. I cannot see any option to download the attachment to my phone.
    Also, it takes all the time on earth to open large messages, though I agree its 2g speed but its taking a lot of time and round sign revolves and nothing happens and I need to quit that msg.
    Any solutions for this..

    Have you made any comparison using WLAN access point instead?
    Have read elsewhere however that "You can quickly reply, forward, download attachments which you can save to downloads folder and access them later, the whole experience was average because it seems HTML support is missing and many of my Emails were not formatted properly when it comes to line breaks and paragraphs".
