Bug in theme effects-Nokia 5230

Dear friends, I'm using Nokia 5230 for an year. I noticed a bug with theme effects after update to v21.x.x and this bug is not recovered by Nokia upto v40.x.x. The bug is when you press Options then You will see an option call "Show open apps. *" the star symbol is covered by white background(square) instead of black background(square), it is very annoying, it happens only when theme effects are set to on.
I found the same problem with my friend's new 5230.

Nokia should release a update to fix this. It happend after the update to v21.x.x.
How to report this to Nokia software developers.

Change theme effects on Nokia N8

I saw many videos on YouTube showing where different and more striking effects that bring Symbian Belle. Even in the video of the new FP2 effects are better. Can those be changed?
Belle Symbian Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wWshwXrZ8hE #!
Belle Symbian FP2 Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACpffbEzDqk&feature=player_embedded
The effects of FP2 I like, since they are similar to those brought Symbian Anna.

you can put a lot of theme effects on your N8, there are a lot to choose from, even the ones that are like FP2 ones.
There are very easy to install, and it gives yor phone a better appearance

Nokia E5 theme effects??

hey everyone, I was want to know that does the Nokia e5 have the same theme effects for all themes?
Because whichever theme i set the theme effect is the same, that is when i move cursor on an icon theres a slight bounce and when I open an app theres a round loading clock with colorful bars. Is it the same for everyone else?? because i suspect that the theme effect is different for each theme and its not change from theme to theme in my phone. Theres a theme called colors by mmo available for free on ovi store, i turned on theme effects for the first time after installing it and i think the theme effects of that theme are stuck on my phone and won't change

the effect will be the same for all themes.
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Theme effects on Nokia n81 8gb

Did anyone notice the theme effects option on a n81. If so, what is it for? I mean I didn't find any difference whether it is on or off. It is at Menu> Tools> Settings> General> Personalization> Themes> General> Options> Theme effects.

Do a hard reset, and then try again to install the n gage application into your phone.
Hard reset (the three key code/reset). Turn off the phone. Press and hold three keys together, the green/talk key, the * key and the number '3'.Then, turn on the phone and don't let the three keys before you see the nokia hands logo/nokia boot up screen.Warning!You will lose ALL your phone's data/files!

Nokia 5230 - Wish List for Next Firmware Upgrade

heya guys,
I'm using Nokia 5230 with the latest firmware, V 12.0.089.
The following are my wish list for the next firmware upgrade:-
1. Messaging > Sent Items: Please include short cut icons to Forward, Create New and Delete as in Inbox.
2. Log > Recent calls: Unnecessary option for Call > Voice Call.
3. Settings > Personal > Themes > Call image > Theme image: A bug with certain 3rd party theme (e.g. JustBlack - 5th theme). During lock mode, screen is totally blank during calls & alarms.
4. Settings > Application mgr. > Installed apps.: Too much application will cause an error of "Application Manager Memory full" and auto exit when selecting "Option". During error, phone memory is around 25MB, Memory Card is around 2.5GB/4GB.
5. Ovi Map > Drive / Walk > Set Destination: Please do an icon based UI for History, Favourite, Search & From Map. The list is to small to click on to (when driving) :-)
6. Organize > Please include multiple selections. E.g. Mark/Unmark > Mark / Mark All. Easy to move multiple applications at once to any folder.
That's all for now i guess. By the way, Nokia rocks!!
Thanks in advanced.

Please integrate swype for messaging in the next firmware of 5230. Also kinetic scrolling for messages and contacts. If possible the homescreen of symbian^3.

Firmware upgrade Nokia 5230 - SLOW device!

I see that the device 5233 had an firmware upgrade availibe from 12.1.089 to 12.1.092. This upgrade is now not availible for the nokia 5230. This device is much slower than the 5233 and 5800.
Is there a way to make this upgrade also soon availible for the nokia 5230? Because this device has now only the firmware version 12.1.089

try to uninstall them and re-install on memory card not phone memory
it's the reason if you installed these apps on phone memory
+ change the messages to be stored on memory card not phone memory

Nokia 5230 video playback and recording

I own the latest nokia 5230. The problem is :
1) When I doing video record using setting TV high quality and Widescr. high quality, it seems
     that my video skip on certain seconds. Using email high quality and below doesn't give any
     problems but the quality is very poor.
2) The problem also occured on playback. Realplayer can't play the skip second on recording
      and then run as normal back after certain time.
It happens all the time as long I used both video setting. I just want to know the solution for this or there is any video recorder software like ETI Camcoder in Nokia s60 series?
Sorry for my bad grammar. I just don't know how to describe this problem. Thanks a lot.

This could be caused by a slow memory card...try this to confirm...
backup your card data in pc, format your memory card..
then make video. .... i hope no bugs in video
i have same problem i am using china made card
try faster card and update your phone software ver
good luck

Nokia 5230 v40.0.003 - Contacts Bar Missing

Hi there, thanks for reading.
I have a problem with my Nokia 5230. I've had my phone about 9 months, and I've been very happy with it. Today I finally got round to installing the v40.0.003 firmware update.
All went well except...
Ovi Maps not updating (which I can live with)
The contact bar disappearing from the home screen (which I can't)
Searching the net found a few people with the same problem, but no solutions. I've seen mention of the appearance of the contact bar 'changing' but no definition of what this change actually is.
Here's what I've tried so far:
I checked the home-screen settings, it's still on the contacts bar theme and contacts bar is checked on the relevant screen.
I've tried changing to another theme and back, both with and without restarting the phone.
I've tried reinstalling the new firmware.
I've tried a soft reset
I've tried a hard reset
I've even tried a hard reset without the sd card followed by a re-flash.
I restored the full backup from before the update, which put most things back the way they were before the resets, but the contacts bar is still missing.
It's a feature of the phone I use a lot so I'm not happy about losing it.
If anyone can offer suggestions as to what I might have missed, I'd appreciate it. Just hope I'm not S.O.L until the next firmware update. (If it's relevant, I'm on Orange PAYG, and have access to my Fiancé's 5230 which is still on 20.0.005)
Thanks

Yes, the Menu>settings>personal>home screen>home screen theme is set to contacts bar
in Menu>settings>personal>home screen>home screen both contacts bar and shortcuts boxes are checked.
Prior to v40 I had a total of 5 contacts stored on the contacts bar and have been using it ever since i got the phone last year.
I wish it was as simple as needing to turn it on, but I did undertake basic troubleshooting (and more) before starting this thread as my first post shows.
I'm not the only one with this problem on orange either (x6 but same symptom)
/t5/Xseries/x6-contacts-bar-gone-software-prob/m-p/873775/highlight/true#M7504
Orange include their own fugly homescreen theme in their custom firmware so probably don't care if they break the other ones.
My Fiancé has a 5230 as well, she doesn't use the contact bar (so wouldn't care if it went AWOL) so I might upgrade her firmware as well to see if the same thing happens.

My nokia 5230 has killed 2 intenso 4gb microsd car...

I have a 8 months old nokia 5230, and it has just made 2 microsd cards useless.
The first one didn't work after 2 months, just stopped today, i took the battery out from my nokia, restarted it, still nothing, could this be the mobile's fault?
it also does turn off from time to time, goes a little bit slow, i don't have anything like some programs there just the original games and songs.

Hey, so they fixed the problem with the Bluetooth by having me do a complete reset of the phone. Be careful doing this because it can delete all your contacts/pictures/whatever is saved on your phone. I would suggest taking it to a tmobile store and having them show you how to backup the info first. When you're ready, you hold down the send, end and camera buttons, then hold down the power button until the power goes off. Then release the power button and wait for it to reload, you can release the other buttons after the logo disappears. This worked when a normal power down and even a battery pull didn't fix it for us. Hope this helps, just be careful with the reset. I lost a lot of phone numbers because I didn't realize what would happen.

Having problem with my nokia 5230

Hi, i have purchased nokia 5230 one month before. After one week i have notied that my phone network has some trouble in automatically accessing the network. I am using airtel network and then i contacted the shop and they said it may be sim problem so they said to take duplicate of the sim. After taking the duplicate sim then also the problem existed. Again i contacted them. This they said to update the software, so i gone to nokia care and updated the software and they said the problem will be solved. Then after a day when ichecked again the problem exists. So again i contacted the nokia care this time they took the phone and said they send the phone to nokia for company service and said to come back after 15 days. Yesterday they called me the phone is ok and ready to collect. So got the phone and when i checked again this problem exists. This time i tried using another network Aircel and it shows no problem. Now it clear it has some problem with airtel network. Please can any one help me to sort this problem. I am using software v20.0.005.

Is your 5230 set to dual mode (GSM + UMTS) in the network settings? Switch to GSM only and observe the difference.

Nokia 5230 Hardlocked sim

Hi all
I am new here and its the first time I am writing a post so if I am at the wrong section please forgive me.
I have recently purchased a nokia 5230 nuron from eBay and at the site it said that the phone was unlocked but it wasn't. It was giving me the massage of an invalid sim card so I emailed the guy and he gave me some unlock codes to do it. I have tried them and nothing happend so I google a few stuff and found out that I hardlocked the phone and now it might be unusable. Is there any help that you can provide me with or the phone is useless now?
Thanks a lot in advance.

As Scooby said early, the Nokia Care Point can reset the counter giving you 3 more attempts to enter your code. What they won't do is to unlock it for you or give you te unlock code. You will still need to get the unlock code from the network it is locked to. Since your phone is from Spain, chances are it is locked to a Spanish network. Proof of ownership is going to be difficult as you are not the original owner and do not have the original receipt. You could ask the seller for the receipt or better still the unlock codes but chances are if they had access to either, the phone would already be unlocked.
My advice would be to return it to seller for a refund because the item is not as described.

N86 theme effects cause auto rotate to lag

When theme effects are enabled on the n86, when I try to use the auto rotate feature it hangs for 5 seconds, with part of the screen covered strangley.
I heard it was fixed or at least improved at some firmware version.
I am currently using the v20.
It seems my phone operator allows to update to at most v21.
But I'm kinda reluctent to update in fear of losing the opearator installed software and settings and stuff I changed to, especielly in case something goes wrong and I have to hard reset.
The questions is, was it really fixed or improved in v21, and how safe those updates are? (Chances of failure or issues?)

You normally get improvements with software update, and it is advisable to hard reset and not to backup settings as they can cause conflict with new software (just back up contacts and calendar) but it's up to you, you should be able to get apps etc back afterwards, and theme effects will always slow down phone as they use about 3 meg of the phone memory !
If it was me I'd install the latest software I could lay my hands on, but it's not !!
Good Luck
