BACKGROUND APPLICATION ON NOKIA 206

How can I keep my applications (such as whatsapp) running in the background on my nokia 206? I want to be receiving notifications each time I receive a message in the application, even when I am doing other things on the phone

Hi paulbandawe,
Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
Upon checking, the Nokia Asha 206 does not support multi-tasking which explains why 2 apps can run simultaneously or run in the background, with the exemption for the music player.

Nokia 206 mail not even opening

Hi,
Having this problem with my Nokia 206 dual sim, that the mail button within messaging doesn't do anything, nothing opens when I press it
Obviously this must be the email application of the phone. But it doesn't do anything. Have reset defaults, have now updated to latest software even, no change it still doesn't open??

We have a lot of reports of this recently. Unfortuantely, we do not know the cause or a good solution, yet. My advice is to go for a local, but offical Nokia Care Centre. they do a ‘refurbish’ of the whole software. Because these centre are very slow, if possible in your legislation, return your device to your dealer, request a refund, and go for the next mobile device.

Nokia 206 no Whats app!

Bought the single sim version in UK today and it has no whats app! It is locked to 02 network could this be why?
By doing *#0000# it brings up the following
206.1
V03.58
RM-873
Does this version now have/support whats app? I thought only dual sims didnt have it?!

Generally speaking background execution on Nokia Asha phones is possible only for a few special apps, like the preinstalled Music player, Whatsapp..
oh, and Whatsapp is currently indeed only available for the single-SIM version of the device. Same for all device models. Possibility to have it working on dual-SIM devices is being investigated.

Nokia 206 does not turn on after update

Hi
Just got a Nokia 206
Updated the software. Itupdated and restarted fine
Then I checked for updates again, and it updated a second time
Everything went fine, and the phone restarted. It said "Update Successful" or something like that
I remember that the SW version was from May 2013 (first update was MArch 2013 I believe)
I tried to update a 3rd time and it said that there were not more update availabale
I was happy !
I checked that internet worked, sent an email, everything worked fine
Then I turned off the mobile to try another SIM card, but when tunring it on, the screen goes black, then "NOKIA" is displayed on the screen for few sec, then the phone turns off
I tried to :
_ different SIM cards
_ using 1, 2 or 0 SIM cards
_ holding power button up to 10 - 15 sec (hopping it will do some reset)
_ tried to find a hard reset button, but did not find...
So basically, the phone is not turning on. Only "NOKIA" is written for few sec, then phone turns off again
The phone is un-usable as such
Please Nokia, what should I do to fix that ?
Regards
Bastien

when I plug the power supply, the charging icone shows up
When I try to start the phone then, the screen gets all white for less than a second, then black for 1 to 2 seconds, then all white for less than a sec again, then turns off
When I press again, it goes back to the charging icon (the white and orange battery charging)
Also, I forgot to mention that sometimes, it does not do the short vibration it used to do when trying to turn on

Nokia 206 Medial player not working properly.

Dear all members,
I have recenlty purchased a nokia 206 dual sim mobile. Some features in the phone are very good, but video player has some problems. If i play mp4 converted file 320*240 15fps file, it shows "this file could not play well in your phone". I tried to reduce the 320*240 10fps, but the same msg again coming. Also the streaming video and audio at the middle of the file not matching. The audio is going faster than video streaming. Is it medial player problem or phone problem?. Also with youtube videos online also if lenghty files played same thing happed. Please help me about this problem.
Thanks in advance.

@_m3gz4_ no, I cannot recommend any other video player, because the media player in a Nokia Series 40 is highly optimized because it is written in the native programming language of that platform. Therefore, I would like to go one step backwards: Did you try MPEG-4 Simple-Profile encoded media as well? Did you consider to go for another mobile phone with a faster processor (CPU) and/or a dedicated graphics processor (GPU)? If you go for a used Nokia 700 for example, you would be surprised by the difference.

Nokia 206 always connected to the internet

Hallo,
my Nokia 206 connects automatically to the internet and downloads a few kilobytes soon after turning on the phone. It remains connected then although I don't use the internet connection at all. Why is this happening? I am paying a fixed price per kB for internet connection and don't want to pay for each start of the phone. However, I don't want to turn mobile data off since I do use the e-mail and MMS functionality.
Best,
Jakub

Hallo once again and thank you very much! The restore settings tip actually solved the problem!
It's funny because I've tried restoring the phone once before already with no luck, but I likely messed with Viber afterwards again that time. The phone now appears to connect just when I need it (checking mail & MMS) and I hope it keeps this behaviour for its entire lifetime.
Thanks again to everyone for their responses!

PHP MysQL Background Application

Has anyone used PHP / MySQL / ADDT to develop a background application that is clocked based? Essentially, I'm just looking to fire off a stored procedure every "n" minutes. Is there a way to write / configure an app to do this?

Hi Jim,
Are you looking to have it trigger every so many minutes while the page is open or completely in the background?
Completly in the background:
You might want to add a cronjob that runs the php script every so many minutes.
or
While page is open:
You can set a meta-refresh to run every so many minutes so it refreshes, re-runs the script/page that is open.

Have you tried both sim cards on single mode? This purpose is to isolate what is causing the issue.

Nokia 206 - Send message to nokia - charged £1

Got new Nokia 206, inserted sim powered up got a message saying need to send message to Nokia and may be charged (no idea what is in the message), checked PAYG balance and I have been charged £1 for the privelige = not happy.
Is this a subsidy to nokia? in order to use the phone we need you to send a premium rate SMS?
Can anyone elaborate what this message was (not saved in sent messages) and why Nokia are sending to premium rate number?

Well its just an activation message which helps Nokia in activating the warranty of your phone and other services such as Nokia Life.
But that's optional, it also tells you that premium sms rates will apply. So its your mistake if you didn't read it properly and continued.
Make sure you don't do that the next time. Skip it if it asks your permission to send an sms. Anyways, it won't bother you anymore

Can Web dynpro Java application run as background application

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to execute the Web dynpro java application in background without opening the application in a web browser.
We just want the WD java application deployed on the SAP Web AS server to be invoked and get executed as a background application by some external web application. It should not get open at any point of time in a web browser.
Can anyone suggest if it is possible?
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag

Hi Anurag,
Since Web Dynpro is "SAPu2019s standard UI technology based on MVC for developing user interfaces" (see http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-wdjava) it is by design not possible to run 'in the background'.
There are other possibilities to develop server processes per your requirements, such as developing web services or servlet development.
Web services are the de facto standard for executing business logic on a remote server. However, as I understand your external web application is not capable of sending web service requests, have you tried the servlet approach?
See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce711core/helpdata/en/3f/f8bc3d8af79633e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm for more info on how to develop a servlet using NWDS.
Take particular attention to the sub-topic 'Servicing Client Requests' of the above guide
Hope this helps!

How to install J2ME application on Nokia 6600

Can you help me in How to install J2ME application on Nokia 6600.Is it enough to build the application using J2ME wireless toolkit or we need any other Nokia SDK for it.

hi, it is not very difficult. I have done it this way :
1) i have set the following mime type in my web server (JRun 4):
text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor for the jad extension
application/java-archive for the jar extension
(in Jrun 4 i added them in the mime.types file in the lib directory)
2) i have published a wml page like this :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//PHONE.COM//DTD WML 1.3//EN" "http://www.phone.com/dtd/wml13.dtd">

<wml>
<card id="main" title="App Title">



<a title="Download App" href="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/App.jad "> Download </a>

</card>
</wml>
to download the jad file
3) then my AMS has started and i could download the application, which runs successfully.
Anyhow I had to configure 1 wap profile and 1 java profile in my M50 according to my provider configuration, and I bet you had to do so if you have not yet done it. I have successfully used a gprs configuration.
I am in Italy an so I have the italian provider's configurations. If this may be usefull to you i may send it.
Feel free to ask.
Hope this helps.

Security code - Nokia 206 Dual SIM

Hello,
I'm having trouble with my Nokia 206 Dual SIM mobile.
My kid changed the security code, and now she can't remember what it is. I've searched the manual, support sections and forums, but most of the solutions I can find suggest taking the phone to a Nokia Care Centre. Unfortunately, I have no idea where to find one of these near Brisbane.
Another suggested option is to send it by post to Nokia Care Direct, but this seems ridiculously unnecessary for what should be a simple passcode reset, not to mention expensive.
I've already taken it to a Telstra store, a Virgin store and a mobile repair store, but all were left scratching their heads.
In the case of a forgotten iPhone passcode it's easy enough to restore the device, so I'm sure that I must just be missing something glaringly obvious. I don't mind losing my data, but I can't even figure out how to perform a factory reset.
Any help to regain control of my phone will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Raj

Hi Dveterant_1,
Welcome to the Microsoft Mobile Community.
Are you trying to reset the phone, but you can't as it's asking for a security code? Or are you unable to access your Asha 206 as it's asking for a security code? In case you've missed @singhnsk's post, the only way to have it fix is to reinstall (flash) its software in Care Points. See: FAQ - I have forgotten the security code for my Asha.
Note: After flashing, all the personal data (contacts, calendar data, etc.) in the phone may be deleted. BTW, the link is intended for the United Arab Emirates. You can visit your local support page for future reference. See below link:

Hope this helps.

Nokia 206 connectivity issue

Hello.
I recently purchased a Nokia 206, and it's been working without a hitch so far. I have my connectivity options set to "deactivate when roaming" (it's not in English so I'm not sure if that's exactly what it says in English), and the internet/data option would only come up when checking my e-mail or sending/receiving MMS. However, today I opened facebook on my phone, and after I disconnected facebook, the network icon wouldn't disappear from the top of the screen (the upper case E with the square around it). I'm assuming this means I'm connected to the internet, so I tried to turn it off, but the only option available was the "mobile data" option, which I had to disconnect. Now, whenever I want to send or receive MMS, or check my inbox, I have to turn it back on. This is very annoying and different from what it was before, which was fine and dandy.
What can I do to fix this? I don't even have the "packet data/transfer" option where I could just switch it to "always on" or "only when necessary" (which, even when the first option was activated, it wouldn't be connected to the internet, and would only show the upper case E without the square around it).
Thanks.

Think I fixed it. Facebook notifications were set to activated.
