Asha 501 concerns

Hey friends,never and ever get Asha series phones. They are just a nice piece of **bleep**.The best example is Nokia Asha 501.
1.Just reset your 501 phone and check it,Your APPNOW app will be missing
2.Also the browser will be lost.(these are few defects and very recent ones)
None of nokia officials addressed this in any of the other threads where many of them complained,if yes then there should be a quick solution rather than taking excuses.
The biggest **bleep** is that "whatsapp is still not available for this device,so called SMARTPHONE by nokia ! " which was launched early july(in markets).
The marketing strategy was like cheating ,everyone including nokia priority dealers,retail mobile shop owners etc etc said that this phone would support whatsapp in a month or two. Even though after 4 months there is no whatsapp ! "The same word repeated everywhere "coming soon coming soon "
After that you(Nokia) said WHATSAPP IS NOT UNDER THEIR HANDS, But on 22nd its very clearly announced that whatsapp will arrive to nokia asha 501 through OTA update. So now the complete work is on Nokia ! So what are you doing right from that day ? or before ? Dont you take this seriously as it doesnt cost 40 or 50k ? Or low end phone ?
Pages like this damaging nokia reputation. Dont you seriously consider this ????

Buying an asha or not in the future will remain your own choice and noone is gonna force you about that.
WhatsApp is not created by Nokia, but is definitely created together. There are works done at both the ends. WhatsApp worked on creating a new version that can be run on the 501 and Nokia helped them with any modifications the system needed to be able to run it properly.
Everything seems to be ready now. Whatsapp announced that the app has been created and it will now be pushed along with a software update which should be coming within the next 10-15 days.
That page is not an official Nokia page and Nokia should not be held liable for the content published there.

Software update instructions for Nokia Asha 501

Hey,
software update instructions for Asha 501 can be found from here:
http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/new-nokia-asha-software-update
By default your phone is set to automatically check for updates every 8 days and you will be notified when an update is available for download. If you want, it's possible to force the update check immediately by switching off and back on "Check via mobile data" setting from the “Phone update” menu. The size of the update is around 8 MB, so it's recommended to use Wi-Fi for the download.
Check out also the attached .pdf document and/or this video:

Nokia Asha 501 OTA software update onepager v1.1.pdf ‏361 KB

Dear Nokia Software Employee,
Thank you for the new nokia 501 update.
However I am interested to get another new update concerning:
1) Wireless configuration:
It will include security mode of 802.1x, and EAP plug-in settings such as EAP-LEAP, EAP-PEAP, etcc....
2) Keep applications minimized instead of closed:
Sometimes there are some applications need to be minimized and not to be closed
Ex: Applications such Athan, Prayers, Quran, etccc...
3) Some Applications menu not working with screen touch but working with key buttons
There are some applications that you cannot use the screen touch under the menu
I will be greatful if the software will finalize the above suggestions
Thank you and Best Regards

Line with audio messages for Asha 501.

Line app updated with Audio messages feature and with Recently sent stickers. The app is better than previous version.

Asha 501 isn't supporter by Nokia suite, so you can't install apps from PC like any other Nokia phone.
You aren't able to access Nokia store via Wifi as well?. I would suggest a phone settings reset, you *will* lose data stored on the phone so backup before you decide to reset it.

Blank screen after Ending a call on Asha 501

I got a new Asha 501 last week. I am very happy with the product and its worth for the money spent.
However, two issues i have noticed so far and its bothering me a bit
1. after ending a call the screen goes blank and sometimes it takes a bit to end the call. This is very awkward during some important calls. would appreciate if there is any solution for this.
2. Mail app takes a long time to load the message contents. I know 2g is not the fastest connection but still this is too slow even for 2g.
best,
Selvan

1. On call, when you bring your phone near to your ear, the Proximity sensor recognises your ear and turn off the screen so that there is no unwanted inputs as the screen touches your skin. But when you pull it back, it turns the screen on again, but it takes 0.5-1 second to the Max.
If it takes longer, make sure there is nothing in front of sensor (it is placed on top left), like Plastic lamination, some accessory, dust or while you pull off your phone, your finger should not be there.
If it still takes longer, better make your device checked at Nokia Care. If found some problem, they will change the sensor.
2. The mail app is working perfectly fine for me on Wi-Fi. You should try loading some websites in browser, if it takes longer, check network strength, it should be strong on 2G internet (Personal experience- BSNL 2G, residing near Network tower, slow like hell, in INDIA). Try changing provider.

Hi Team,
It is really difficult for me to send text messages in My nokia Asha 501.The following are the issues i am facing.Please provide updates.
A)No option to send messages to contact groups (we cant create contact group).Even the basic nokia mobile have this feature.
B)After typing the messages we need to select contacts one by one by clicking on the + sign. No option to mark many contacts to send sms at a go.(Marking of contacts is a must feature of any mobile phones but nokia ASHA 501 lacks that.)
C)i have around 500 contacts, so its difficult for me to browse through all the contacts to select the one to whom i can send the sms.Also filtering of names is not of good standard some time filtering correctly and some times not filtering correctly.
D) please concentrate on the basic features first then concentrate on applications.There is noway to delete or uninstall the use less Assasin creed demo game app that is pre installed.
Thanks

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.

NOKIA ASHA 501 CAMERA SHUTTER SOUND CANT BE TURNED...

Dear Nokia ASHA 501 users there is a bug left by NOKIA in its ASHA 501 you cant switch OFF the camera sound there is ON?OFF slider which is left at ON mode by NOKIA its disabled at that mode you cant scroll it to OFF the shutter sound

If you cant turn it off its set up that way for a reason,its common in most countries for this option to be locked,due to privacy laws.

Email is not working in my Nokia Asha 501

I have a nokia asha 501 and there is mail. But we cant read the mail. What is the use of giving us an app which not even useful.

Does NOKIA ASHA 501, support exchange email ?

is it possible to configure asha 501 with exchange email, so that i can read office emails on phone?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I was not able to do so, because
could not find a built-in option
Mail for Exchange (Series 40) does not work
Mail for Exchange (Symbian) does not work
my company uses a self-signed certificate authority (CA) for ActiveSync and HTTPs connections (and the Nokia 501 does not allow my to add this authority to the known ones)
The Nokia 501 is based on a new operating system called new Asha software platform. I guess, this is the reason. IMAP, POP, and SMTP work for me.

Asha 501 can't fetch large MMS

My Nokia Asha will not receive pictures that are over a certain size limit.
If I send a large photo to the Asha 501, it says "Can't download message."
If I send a small photo to the Asha 501, it has no trouble displaying the photo.
I have 64MBs of free space, so that can't be the problem.
How do I remove the size limit?

If I recall right, the general MMS size limit is set to 300k in Asha 501. And in some countries the size limit can be as low as 100k. Also network operators may have their own limits. Same size limits (300k or 100k) apply to both sending and receiving MMS messages.
Typically phones would compress/downscale the photos before sending them via MMS, so this wouldn't be a problem. But if the sending phone does not compress the photo (for reason or other), then you may indeed run into this situation.
