Inability to update Nokia Asha 309

Despite waiting for over 6 months for the latest software update, it has not been possible to update Nokia Asha 309. Tried everything - Nokia Suite Update, OTA, and even Nokia Software Recovery Tool, only to get me to install the same version (5.85) on the phone.
The updates for the newer software versions, including, but not limited to, launchers for WhatsApp and YouTube, updated Nokia Xpress browser, Mail, Twitter, Facebook, VIDEO STREAMING (it's impossible to watch videos with the current software), phone memory management (really irritating to delete all those text messages everytime to make space for taking a photo), manual brightness control (life saver in broad daylight) - ALL of these things are something I'm missing out on. Take it to a Nokia Care, and you are given a reinstallation of the SAME software version.
I understand that support for the Asha series is limited (or probably absent), but hey, give the darn update that's been apparently sitting on your servers for OVER 6 MONTHS!

Actually, you missed update V 07.55 and V 08.22. Consequently you wait till day one of the release of your phone (December 2012). That is the firmware variant for India (country variant, CV). There, you go …

Both YouTube streaming (RTSP) and watching video files should work even today. What did you try exactly (Wi-Fi or 2G)?

  • Question regarding Nokia Asha 309, pls. answer

    Hi , I'm new here. I was planning to buy a nokia asha 309 and I want to ask some things.
    -How is the performance in this phone? is it good?
    -how about the gaming? does it lag like the asha 305??
    -how about the screen? is it responsive??
    thanks, I hope you can answer my questions

    Performancewise I would say this phone is somewhere in middle of Asha 305 and Asha 311. It's smoother to use than Asha 305 and big thanks for that goes to the capacitive touch screen (Asha 305 has resistive touch screen).

    Did you double check the Nokia Product Code on the label (of your phone) and within the tool? I am very curious why I do not see that code.

  • 'Nokia maps' in Nokia Asha 309

    Nokia has advertised that Asha 309 comes with preloaded 'Nokia maps' but there is not any type of map application. Can I download 'Nokia maps'?

    To download official google maps goto google.com from the default browser of your phone, then select google product and download google map.
    But recently there is some strange problem using google map which was not before. Now while loading terms and condition page it gives warning message and says: serious error & instruct to restart the app.

  • Nokia asha 309 destinator

    yo guys wanted to ask if any1 knows a good application for traveling , i mean i got a gps on my car a MLS destinator wanted to know if i could find something similar on my phone ?!!?

    Hi,
    Welcome to the forum!
    You can check the Nokia Store to search for the application like FMap GPS or similar application. 
    Here are the two ways to download an application from the Nokia Store:
    1. Using your phone - Open the Nokia Store > log in to your Nokia account > look  for the application > click on Download.
    2. Using a computer - Open the Nokia Suite after downloading it from here: www.nokia.com/nokiasuite > log in to your Nokia account > go to Nokia Store icon > look for the application > click on Download.
    Hope this helps.

  • Nokia Asha 303 - Update 14.87 - internet always on

    I just updated my asha 303 to version 14.87 and now my phone duplicated its apps and is always connected to the internet. If i disconnect wlan, a gprs connection switches on. How can I turn all connections off and connect only when I need them?
    And if it's not possible, how can I go back to the previous update?
    I already did a factory reset, but it didn't work...
    My configurations are the following:
    Settings/Connectivity/ Internet Connection -> Ask First
    Settings/Connectivity/ Packet Data Connection --> When needed
    Thanks

    Sounds like an app goes wild. Very difficult to track the one down which does this. Furthermore, because you have that duplicate app issue, I recommend: Nokia Suite » Menu » Tools » Software Update » there is a ‘reinstall’ below your phone, in that explanation. Did that help?

  • When is the next nokia asha 501software update ?

    Hi when is the next nokia asha 501 software update ?

    hi mate,
    Nokia does not specify when the next updates for devices will be. you will need to wait if/when there is an upcoming update, for which Nokia will usually state them here on the boards or thru a blog post on Nokia Conversations. bear in mind that the v14 update was only pushed last month to the Asha series.

  • Nokia asha 311 update

    @armagon and other employees
    Will Nokia Asha 311 get the new Nokia asha 501's user interface in an update?

    Hi mdkashem,
    Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
    You can check with the Nokia Suite if there's an available software update for your Asha 311. You can download and check the video tutorials on this link: www.nokia.com/nokiasuite
    ***The availability of the updates depends on many factors such as the product code, region and the network provider. You can check with your operator if they have approved the update to download for their customers.
