Nokia 5230 display distorted!

After updating to the Nokia 5230 latest firmware version (V21.0.004), whenever the mobile receives a new SMS or call the display is showing up distorted (Snapshot included as attachment, take a look!). This is happening randomly may be every 4 out of 10 occasions. Not just when receiving the call or SMS but also when i activate the touchscreen by touchin it for performing any task. I have to either lock & unlock the touch pad to regain the display or wait till the mobile goes into standby after light time-out. 
Is there any option for me to revert back to the recent old firmware version (V20.0.005)?
How to get rid of this? I already tried reinstalling the latest firmware again twice but to no avail. This is the first time such an issue surfaced in my mobile usage.
I appreciate your response.
Thanks!

Hi, unfortunately it is not possible to roll back to earlier fw.
If you've tried to reinstall the fw, there isn't much more to do other than take it to a Nokia care point as this seems to be a fault only they can repair.
I've seen quite a few posts on this matter, and some of the users reporting such faults happened after changing their displays themselvs voiding their warranty, earlier (before updating). I'm not saying that is what you've done, but just to let you know.
The " funny" thing is that this thing seems to happen often while updating, so it could of course be software related.
If youre up to it, you could perform a soft reset to clear your phonememory and start out fresh, but it's unlikely that this will helps. If you choose to do so, you will have to back up whatever you need from your phone memory as this manouver wipes contacts, messages, apps installed on the phone memory etc.
If not, you will have to see a nokia care point, and you probably have to do it anyway!

  • Font size too small on some sites on nokia 5230

    I have nokia 5230.
    Some pages like m.youtube.com display small font size even when font size is set to large.
    Why is that?
    IF YOU FIND POSTS HELPFUL HIT THE BIG GREEN BOX TO THE LEFT WITH THE WHITE STAR IN IT THANKS

    It's the layout of the site, you can zoom the page you know , unless it happens to be an application, in which case just go to the web site through the browser and use zoom function on web browser.
    Good Luck
    Also you could try Opera mini and set zoom level in options to 140%

    how to change or adjust brightness in nokia 5230 new update.... i dont find brightness option in new update... reply asap... i do know the old settings wher brightness option was in settings->phone->display. but nw i dont find the brightness option in the new update...

    it wants a usb connection because it writes directly to the memory where the firmware is installed.
    since you don't have a usb cable, you can go to a Nokia Care center and ask them to update to the new firmware.

  • Nokia 5230 music corrupted files

    how can i delete corrupted music files on my nokia 5230 ..

    Nokia 5230 "Nuron" and Music Player (under 20.8.007)
    Corrupt file data was displayed under Albums, Artists, All songs, Genres and Composers within the Music Player application.
    By removing the memory card, it was verified that the corrupt data was stored on the card.
    The corrupt data was successfully exterminated by formatting the memory card. No other method was successful.
    **Warning** Back-up the handset using PC/Ovi Suite before formatting the memory card or you will lose data. (Alternatively, if you use the Backup function of 'File manager' on the handset, the hidden 'Backup' directory must then be copied from the memory card to a computer using a third-party application, like 'X-plore,' available from the Ovi Store.)
    Open 'File manager'
    Select (by touching) the 'drive' that contains the microSD memory card (E: )
    Open the 'drive' you selected (Options \ Open, or touch the selected 'drive' again)
    Format the 'drive' from the Options menu (Options \ Memory card options \ Format)

    Hi arun3390, 
    Welcome to Nokia Discussions Board!
    I advised you to reset your phone by entering *#7780# on your phone's keypad. Enter 12345 as the default lock code when prompted.
    If the issue persists, please back up your device's data via Nokia Suite on your PC (Tools > Back up) or on a memory card (Menu > Applications > Office > File Manager > Back up > Options > Back up now). Then enter *#7370# on your phone's keypad. Enter 12345 as the default lock code when prompted. 
    I hope this will help.

  • 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

    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

  • Nokia 5230 and Garmin Mobile XT

    Hi !
    I have decided to install Garmin Mobile on my Nokia 5230. I have asked the official Garmin support for informations about Garmin Mobile and Symbiaa S60 v5. They answered that the last version of Garmin Mobile is v5.00.60 and in theory it should almost certain work with S60v5 operating system (the version v5.00.50 should too), but the product is discontinued so they are not 100% sure. They sent me a list where I can still buy Garmin Mobile but I am not sure to spend 100€ because I'm not totaly sure if this will work with Nokia 5230. There's lots of info about Garmin v5.00.40 and v5.00.50 working on Nokia 5800 but no info about Nokia 5230.
    Is there any Nokia 5230 user on this forum with Garmin Mobile installed? If yes which version of Garmin Mobile do you have?
    Regards;
