How to update a Nokia mobile phone

hiya this is the first time i am buying a Nokia 5800 Xpress music phone and i wanted to know what is the best and easiest way to update the phone's software or firmware? would it be via over-the-air (on 3G or wi-fi) or via PC?

Hi,I disagree with deepestblue, (sorry) fot 2 reasons.
1) Not all updates are available over the air !
2) It is always adviseable to back up first ( better to be safe than sorry), Google how to update softwate on Nokia phone and see what you find ! I know latest Nokia phones have user data protection, but think it is more advisable to use computer than phone !
The decision is yours, both methods are possible, so make your own choice, just RESEARCH first.
Good Luck

    Hi samuelbudol,
    Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
    What's your phone model? For Symbian devices, you can update your Nokia Store by visiting www.store.nokia.com using the phone browser. It will prompt you if there's an updated version available for download. If your device supports Nokia Suite, you can use this PC application to check and download the latest update for your phone applications including the Nokia Store.
    If this does not solve your concern, please let us know.

  • My nano SIM works in my Nokia mobile phone but "No SIM" when in my iPad mini

    I've been around the support loop a few times with varying levels of success, here is my story.
    Basically I expect to only occasionally require mobile data services so would like to move my nano SIM from my Nokia mobile phone to the iPad mini as and when required. I have a 500Mb data allowance on my current contract with Vodafone UK which I never use but would like to access with my iPad mini.
    The first time I tried it worked! I never tried to surf using it but it registered with Vodafone UK OK and had a good signal level. The second time “No SIM” or “SIM not installed” popup at bootup.
    Now irrespective of contracts, tariffs, data plan etc I expect the iPad mini to recognise there as being a SIM present every time and never give “No SIM” except of course when there isn’t one physically in the thing.
    Playing along to support and forum suggestions I’ve done a couple of device resets (software reinstalls) and various setting resets. But still “No SIM”.
    I’ve also spoken with Vodafone UK and am investigating whether this is in fact some restriction where they’ve restricted the technology so SIM swapping is not allowed. My Nokia E51 is not locked as have had it years.
    I just cannot get past the “No SIM” message though!

    Do have the details as to why that is?
    The single time it recognised the nano SIM and showed as being connected to Vodafone UK I tried to ring it to see what would happen, it just rang out until voicemail picked up but nothing happened on the iPad mini whatsoever.

  • How to call Sri Lanka mobile phones and land-lines...

    How to call Sri Lanka mobile phones and land-lines from skype? When i am in overseas how to use skype to call to Sri Lanka mobile phones and land-lines? Can i know the process, how to get skype credit?, how to get subscriptions?, what are the rates for mobile phones and land-lines?

    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
    Your account shows that you have an Unlimited World Subscription which includes calls to private landlines in Finland. Your Subscription does not include calls to corporate landlines or to cellphones in Finland. To call corporate landlines you need to Buy Skype credit and to call cellphones either credit or a specific Skype subscription

    I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

  • Is it possible to use a Nokia mobile phone as a modem for my ipad2, which hasn't, got 3G. If so does anybody know how?

    Is it possible to use my Nokia X6 mobile phone as a modem for my Ipad2, which is not 3G enabled. If so how?

    You need to download something called JoikuSpot from the Nokia Store, they were giving it away free last week. You then follow the instructions to basically set up a little wifi hotspot, look at the settings carefully and create a password to get on it, by default it creates an open network so anyone can use it.

    Go to Solution.

    The Nokia 110 will update over the air or it can be updated at a Nokia Care point.
    Open the application SW update (see icon below) to check for an update using the Mobile Data network.

  • How do I activate a mobile phone when say a level in lookout goes high and sets off alarm.

    I require to alert a user to an alarm condition both by web and mobile phone. I am not using a network just standalone PC

    If you're using a standalone PC, then you can send SMS messages to cell phones using the ASCII Object when an alarm occurs. You'll connect a modem to your Lookout PC and use the ASCII Object.
    You'll need to implement the SMS protocol in the ASCII Object.
    I am not sure how you can update a web page from a stanalone PC tho'.
    Hope this helps!

  • Using nokia mobile phone as a modem problem

    I want to link up two computer (running XP) throughh two modems.
    First, I set a PC that use 56k dailup modem as become a server (accept incoming connection), then connected by a PC that use nokia 6230 modem as a client and success. The 56k dailup can receive the call automatically and each PC can access the local area network to another.
    However, it has a problem when i try to use 56k modem to connect to 6230. it seems 6230 treat the call as a voice call and not answer to it and I must set 6230 as a server in my place.
    Then, i replaced the 56k dailup modem by a nokia 6610i and installed the lastest driver. However, the 6610i cannot dailup or receive call from 6230 except a voice call.
    Finally, i try to borrow another 6230 from my friend (two 6230) and all works fine.
    My question is:
    1. How can I set 6230 modem as a server to accept connection from 56k dailup modem automatically?
    or
    2. How can I make connection between 6230 and 6610i (they work as modems)?
    or
    3. What fuctions can make 6230 to connect to a 56k modem? (is it fax??coz i want to make sure another model i buy has this function)
    Thanks
    Derek

    Thank you Seraphim.
    I think you are right because i just borrowed another 6230i from my friend. Now i have 6230 and 6230i, the ringing tone of the server (receive side) is different to a vice call and the connection between two computers is success.
    I'm sorry if I may have made a wrong post here because i still have a problem in configing my 6610i as a modem in my windows. I have tried the "nokia 6610i Cable" and "nokia 6610i Infrared" Modem driver. I cannot dailup a call or receive data call. I saw the 6610i was trying to call out but all the calls returned "Disconnected" and even my home phone cannot be rang.
    All of the cases I have tried are (the mobile phone worked as modem):
    6230i call to 6230 (result: connection success)
    6230 call to 6230i (result: connection success)
    6230 call to Voice Phone (result: normal ring)
    6610i call to Voice Phone (result: no ring, disconnected)
    6610i call to 6230 (result: no ring, disconnected)
    6230 call to 6610i (result: no ring, disconnected)
    I have tried to set the 6610i in different windows (xp and 2000) but still fail and i also tried to replace the sim. card in 6610i by the one in 6230 but still fail....so the one i could guess is my nokia 6610i modem driver has some problems but i'm using the one that i just download today 26/03/2004, 1.0.2.4.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • How to update the Nokia 1520 using sd card

    I have a Lumia 1520. I do not have a WiFi connedtion for phone updates. The first update I did was yesterday and I had to find a free wifi hotspot. I understand that you can do this via a computer to micro SD card to phone. How do I do this? I can find no guide to tell me how as I have searched this site, google and Nokia + Windows Phone sites and can find nothing. I 'think' I can down load latest updates to my computer and move it to a SD card but how do I get the phone to run/install the update.
    A how to guide would be nice for this as its inconvienent to search out wifi hotspots all the time.
    Thanks again for any help!

  • Prompt to Update Account with Mobile Phone Number WON'T STOP APPEARING

    When signing in to Verizon a box keeps coming up to enter mobile phone number. I have been checking off "No Number" and it says account settings updated but the box keeps appearing. I have deleted cookies and history as instructed by cust. svc but that did not fix the problem. Using Firefox.

    Thanks for contacting us MsSusan. I just attempted this, to test it out, and was able to confirm it works. If you have either the Internet Explorer or Chrome browser on your device, could I have you try it again with either of those browsers (After clearing cookies) and let us know your results?

  • How to save files in mobile phone

    Hello good people!
    How can i save some information from my midlet to the mobile phone (eg, in a text file or something) for use the informations later, when the application is started again ?
    Thank you!

    If you want to save information at the first start of the MiDlet, you can use RecordStore.openRecordstore(NAME,false) then catch the exception to know if the recordstore exits, if not then you may create it and if it exits, it will be open and you may RecordStore.addRecord() to add record to it.
    hope this answers your question.
