Nokia 301 Signal problems?

Today I Installed an update for my 2 Months old nokia 301.After installation I have no signal on my phone anymore.
What should I do?

Well for voice and SMS, you could switch to GSM-only (at least). No solution for data connectivity, tho.
I recommend to subscribe to that thread. If an software update is available, you’ll get an email.

stebenwulf, looks like garbage rather than Chinese.
Do you use the latest USB driver? After installing it, you have to go to the Windows Device Manager, right-click on your Nokia, and repair the driver. The Nokia must be attached at that time. If that does not help, try another computer. It that shows garbage again, either ignore the message or return this device, as well.

Nokia 301 app store problems

I have a problem with the Nokia Store app in my Nokia 301 (single SIM) RM-841 v.8.02 S40 phone. It's an unlocked phone.
I opened the store app and it said there was a required update. I said yes and it updated. However, after that, the Nokia Store app doesn't work properly and hangs, and it also displays the icon with a key over it. The Nokia internet doesn't work properly either after the store app update.
I tried to use the recovery tool wich I downloaded from Microsoft. I installed it, connected the phone with the appropiate USB cable, followed the instructions. The recovery tool detected my phone but after that, it just doesn't seem to work and it says installation failed and gets stuck at 10%.
What can I do to solve and/or fix the issue to be able to use the Nokia Store app again and the Nokia internet browser.
I have Windows 7 of 64bit.
Can anyone help me?

On the first (differ), you have to say YES, or the download does not work.
On the second (keep), depends on the app. However, I go for NO usually.
The built-in apps do not have the download URL embedded, when you first update. Furthermore, even the next updates are going to show that warning because the webserver scripts redirect while updating. Therefore, this message. Botching. This is actually a software-bug in the app and webserver scripts. With one experienced computer scientist, this would not have happened.
If you do not keep the data, you start all over – except for apps which store your data online, like the Nokia Store. If you start over, you make sure, you do not have RMS with unexpected settings. This is important, if you used an already updated app, which FOTA downgrades. Because you do not know, if FOTA downgraded an app, NO is the safe way. We saw that with Nokia Xpress on some models. Anyway, again, a software-bug because apps can be designed to handle unknown/future settings easily. Botching.

Nokia 301 problem - service messages / balance enq...

I bought a Nokia 301 mobile for one of my relatives at Christmas and am having such problems with it on Sainsbury's Mobile.
I popped the SIM card in, expecting the internet setting to be sent by text - but nothing. Then to make matters worse, every time I call to ask for a balance - it displays text as a service message that is completely unreadable! Like it is full of nonsensicle characters.
I'm just lost as to what's wrong with it. Even if I could find the internet settings but Sainsbury's website is useless. The balance enquiry is a real problem though - could it be a SIM card problem?
Any help much appreciated!!

it also seems strange that these settings aren't text when I put the SIM card in. Other network SIM's I have put it, these settings are all on automatically.
Receiving those settings automatically is not normal especially for big carriers like Vodafone. Not sure about Vodafone UK. Actually, your carrier could change one tiny piece in their global settings and a Nokia would work instantly. Anyway, Sainsbury’s says: ‘If you don’t receive the settings within 24 hours of activating your SIM, text WEB to 40127 for free’.

I am just dialling the usual number of *＃1345＃ but the text that apears as a Service Message is just crazy characters like Ω. I have never seen this before. The same when I call *＃100＃ for my number - just rubbish text.
OK. That is USSD. Because you cannot do anything wrong, like a wrong setting, this is a bug. Here in Nokia Support Discussions, we cannot fix such a bug. Therefore, you should report to the mentioned parties because only those have a chance to fix that bug. Not a solution but as a workaround, please, check your balance via the computer-voice at 40775.

Nokia 820 Signal \ Reception Problem

Just taken delivery of a Nokia 820. As a die hard iPhone user, I pleasantly surprised myself by just how good Windows OS is and the build quality of the handset.
But I'm going to return it.
Signal is dreadful compared to other phones (tested in the same place) and my battery is destroyed by it constantly looking for signal or switching between H, H+ and on a special occasion - 3G!
I notice a lot of people have the same problem with the 820 and 920. Is there a fix or is the hardware faulty? I've tried all the solutions listed in this forum and elsewhere. Annoyed that reviewers said nothing about this.
My phone is SIM free and on the EE network in the UK.

Same on my 1020. Sim card I use frm my 808PV, there simcard works fine. Operator said that 3G is working fine and problem is the phone... But I found many similar complaints from all WP phones not only Nokia make. Problems should be addressed to MS... Hope Nokia will help it's loyal users to deal with MS

Nokia 301 v8.02 update 3G problem

Hello
So after the update same thing happened as before with 2.51 update. No 3G!
2G works and factory reset doesn't help. What is the deal with this?

After I updated my Nokia 301.1 to version 08.02, it's basically a piece of junk now!!
Who is in charge of this???
The phone doesn't work at all.
It loses it's connectivity randomly all the time.
It isn't able to send or recieve a textmessages.
Batterylife is completely rubbish now. Before I could have it for up to 7 days without charging. Now it loses it's batterylife after 1 single day!! How is this an improvement???
The same decrease in batterylife happened after the last update! Then the batterylife decreased from 10 days to 7 days. Please stop trying to fix a phone that was all right out of the box, but after 2 updates, it's completely useless!!!!
WHAT DID YOU DO??????????????????????????
I tried to reset it to factory settings, nothing changed.
I live in Norway.
I use OneCall as my operator.
The code on the sticker on the back says: 059Q8X2
Fix this now please!!!!!!!!!!

Nokia 301 icon issues following latest update

I have got a Nokia 301 which usually works fine.
I`ve just updated the phones software to the latest version. My problem is: -
When I click on the Mail icon, nothing happens. So I can`t see my email account I added.
Is there a way of sorting this out?
Many thanks.
Ned1

I have previously deleted the email account and then added it back in.
The problem this time is when i click on the Mail Icon, it doesn't open up.
I don't really want to do a factory reset. If i have to i will.
I just wandered if there was a way of bypassing the Mail Icon to access my email account, or deleting the icon and reinstalling it.

Nokia 301 Feature Request in Next Update (Current ...

Hello,
If anyone know about below points available in current version the kindly reply the way.
Feature request for next update.
1. When I view sms it does not allow me to view previous or next using right or left navigation. All the time I need to close current sms view and move down or up for previous or next sms and open it.
2. Instead of adding "Sim Manager" bar, it can show on top of the screen network signal symbol like regular other mobile view.
3. In Personalise view setting, add few more option to have quick access on front screen display.
4. When we open menu, we need to navigate using up-down-right-left key, instead after opening menu we can have keypad shortcut from 0 to 9 atleast.
5. For demo application, allow us access to remove once demo expired. This will freeup space.
6. Wall paper for active screen is already available to user to customize but we can not change wall paper for manu and when locked.
7. Mail application does not show bigger size mails.
8. If we rename any video file extention to say from video.3gp to video.txt but still video player detect that video. There is no way to hide any video or image or any file. Need to have some way.
Thank you in advanse.

Nokia 301 random crash

My Nokia 301 crashes and reboots randomly when I make a call or shoot a photo.
It freezes, goes white-screen, and reboots. Seems the crash occurs more times when I use a bigger-sized wallpaper (I mean data size) or shoot a more-colourful photo.
I have updated to firmware v2.51, battery is fine. Currently no more crash when calling, but often crashes when shooting a photo. I went to shoot natural scences like flowers, grass and sky. The phone crashed agian and again.
Maybe the phone has trouble handling complex images?
BTW, after I updated to v2.51, when I try to download SW update again, it always says "404" before any other message is displayed.

I have to same problem with camera and like your problem freeze just when the photo is big size.
Nooooookia, I want UPDATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I buy this phone for 3.15 MP camera and camera not working. How is this posible ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not got my nokia 301 from 1 month which is under w...

I have given my nokia 301 in nokia care hisar,haryana for the charging problem then they said me to take the mobile in 10 days but now 1 month has gone and i do not receive my mobile which is under warranty

Good day, amanloura065.
Welcome to the Nokia community.
When was the last time you contacted the care center and asked for your phone's repair status? What did they tell you? Note that the repair duration may vary depending the complexity of the issue and availability of spare parts needed.
We hope to hear from you soon.

Netqin ... or any firewall on Nokia 301

Hey,
i used a workaround on my C5-00 (dont use this phone now, cause the quallity of phonecalls was pretty bad) for whatsapp: Used netqin Firewall to block whatsapp internetconection. I don´t wanna be online all the time.
Is it possible to turn off the internetconnection in a s40 device, like the nokia 301? My Samsung Galaxy has a option to switch the mobile internet on and off.
If not, is it possible to get a similar workaround like explained above? (Firewall to block whatsapp... only establish a connection if needed) Does Netqin runs on s40?
cheers

hmmm would be super nice if apps are only active if they are on the screen ... more isnt really needed i think ... Problem will be a internetconnection out of my home country ... 3G is pretty expensive there for me
i dont need a smartphone ... just a bit internet for whatsapp, emails.... nothin more.. no apps.. no maps.. no nothin...
i see that i opened this thread in a wrong Topic... can anyone (Mod) change this thread to the right Topic?

Nokia 301 - the screen goes white

Hello,
I have a Nokia 301 and his screen goes white sometimes. When that is happening, I can still use the phone (I can open the music player for example).
I bought the phone with this problem! I was with the phone at guaranty (after 2 months), but they canceled my guaranty because "mechanical shocks".
What can I do? I have update to the last software.

Have you dropped the phone before? Have you tried sending the phone to a Nokia Care Centre?

Nokia 301 Dual SIM flash file or flash theme

Hi nokia,
from bangladesh. Few days ago i bought nokia 301 dual sim phone. Software version was 2.33 after update it now 9.04. My problem below:
1.It is unable to support flash file or flash theme. The home screen is blank when apply. Flash file is not open. It looks "file not support". But my privious phone(c2-01) it was supported. Please help me to suppopt flash theme or file.
2. Youtube video loading only 60% then looks "no response".
Dear nokia please help me to view flash file and apply flash theme at any way and give a satisfaction reply to view youtube video.
Moderator's Note: The subject was amended as we have moved this post and created a new thread for the topic.

Sounds like your file system gets corrupted each time you update WhatsApp. Did you update WhatsApp manually already? If that shows the same behaviour, I would send in that phone because the cause could be hardware related (broken flash memory).

Nokia 301 no update available

Hi, i recently purchased nokia 301 and I do experience rather poor battery performace (which was one of the things for which i bought it). Therefore i decided to update software of the phone. Version of SW in my phone is 2.51 from June of previous year. Nokia page of my home country (Czech Republic) states, that the lates version available is 8.02 (http://www.nokia.com/cz-cs/podpora/produkty/asha301/softwareupdate/). However when i follow instructions how to update SW through OTA, my phone states, that there are no updates available.
Any suggestions?
I cannot use Nokia Suite, since it is one of those new phones no longer supported.
I bouught it in store, therefore problem should not be caused by provider...
Thanks in advance
PM

@ThatRottenGuy please, give us the 7-letter code written on the label of your phone (product code). That determines the firmware variant which determines the version you get. If you cannot wait, you can check the latest version with the help of the Nokia Software Recovery Tool. I recommend that tool over a Nokia Care Centre because they are using the same tool and earsing your data. Therefore, you should back-up your data via Nokia 301 » menu » Settings » Sync and backup » Create backup. You need a microSD for this. Alternatively, you can use the Nokia Suite …
