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.

My Nokia 5230 blurs, any help?

My Nokia 5230 has started to blur (there're lines shaking vertically) when i click the red button or unlock it. This doesn't happen all he time. I did some search and i found this is a common problem even for 5800. I have updated the firmware to the latest version. Is there any solution other than taking it to the store?

Why don't bring it to a Nokia care point immediately and get the problem out of this world?
Edit: What you could do though, if you want to eliminate software failure of any kind is to:
1: remove the memory card and check how the phone behaves without it.
2: Remove Sim and see how the phone behaves without it.
3: do a soft reset. This will wipe your phone memory so make sure you make a backup using ovi suit or nokia pc suite, or the onboard backup client (I suggest backing up to your computer).
Now, don't install your backups yet, but wait and see how the device behaves.
If the phone is still behaving like you mentioned, you will have to seek help at a Nokia care
point.
Note that these moves are likely not to fix such behavior and that it is that last thing you should be doing, but it might be worth a try if you want to try everything before you take it to a Nokia care point.
The choice is yours! Good luck mate!

Hi there,
I was wondering whether the Nokia 5230 has an error logging system for diagnostics especially for troubleshooting apps and the OS, your answers would be much appreciated.

Not in the manner of Maemo or MeeGo although not sure whether SmartInstaller for applications saves log upon this S60 5th Ed.device as in later devices, which is found in either c:\data\ovismartinstallerlog.txt or c:\ovismartinstallerlog.txt

How to connect my Nokia 5230 to internet using Blu...

I would like to be able to connect my mobile (Nokia 5230) to internet without using the GPRS connection.
The only option I can see, is to connect my mobile to my PC (which has an internet connection) via bluetooth or USB and share the pc internet connection with my mobile.
How can I do that?
I would like to use OVI store but the only option is "Send to Mobile" It seems that it is not possible to download a file on the PC and then send it to the mobile . If I coudl share my PC internet connection with my mobile I will be in a position where I could use OVI store
I found this post at,

What you're asking is not possible. There was a piece of software called GNUBox that might have done the trick but it seems to be more or less abandoned.

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 - 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.

Nokia 5230 Gps problem

Hello guys, I've brought my Nokia 5230 recently and I've soon discovered a problem with the gps function. The problem is every time I tried to see where I'm or the gps function it takes ages and it still can't detect any gps signal, I've been to many places, home, library, in my car moving through town and really it don't pick up any signals. Does it matter if I don't use internet at all? And are there settings that I have to follow? Thanks in advance.

Hi rexlee123
Sounds as if you are not utilizing the Assisted GPS feature which requires a network access point. Whereas you can set OVI Maps to "Offline" if regional maps downloaded, if you just rely on Integrated GPS reception will be quite poor. You need to check in Menu > Applications > Location > Positioning > Positioning server > Access point and also in Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Destinations - that WAP access point has not ended up in "Uncategorized" folder where not utilized.

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.

Nokia 5230 Firmware 20.x.x.x Issues

I am currently in possession of a Nokia 5230 purchased on Jan 2010 loaded with firmware 11.0.079 . I recently came across a slew of articles regarding the restarting defect caused when ugrading to firmware 20.x.x.x .
(/t5/Nseries-and-S60-Smartphones/Nokia-5230-RESTARTING-DEFECT/m-p/635260)
As of now I have no problems whatsoever in using my phone (except using the mailbox though) and my phone never restarts. Is it advisable for me to upgrade to the new firmware or abstain away from doing so. And as mentioned by other users Nokia Support dosen't seem to be very helpful in this regard.
If anybody has any idea over this issue please advice.

i m currently using 5230 with v20.x.x, (came with v12.x.x) and i never had the "restart defect" on v20.x.x, actually its a lot better/improved then v12.x.x. in many areas.
from my experience, i would recommend you to update to v20.x.x. but decision is yours.

Welcome to the forum!
The clue is in the TMO logo as this 5230 Nuron has product code only accepting firmware that TMO have authorised in the past.

Hi kunal12345,
Welcome to the Forum.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to upgrade your 5230 with Symbian Belle. Only the Symbian ^3 can be updated with Symbian Belle and your phone being a S60 it's not possible.

Has Nokia forgotten about some customers? The other users of the SAME phone (5230) seem to be getting updates...

Availability of updates depend on Product Code and Region.. also if the phone is Network locked. the update is possible only after an approval from the Operator...
