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.

  • Downgrading Nokia 5230 firmware?

    I downloaded and installed the latest 20.0.005 update for my Nokia 5230, and it offered nothing in the way of performance gains and new features, but instead slowed the device down and removed the ability to skip through more than 4 songs per use. 
    Is there a way to downgrade from 20.0.005 to good old 12.X.XXX?

    It isn't possible to roll back firmware updates. I would suggest you try the *#7370# reset which I would recommend doing after firmware updates. Remember to backup your data.

  • Nokia 5230 firmware

    Type in your phone model here: http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update

  • Nokia 5230 and H.264/AVC playback issues

    Hi guys
    Can someone please tell me which H.264/AVC profiles do Nokia 5230/5530/5800/N97/X6 play?
    Thank you!

    ok;
    I've found this:
    "The problem is that the Real Player itself is not able to handle MPEG4 part 10 profile (also called H264 or AVC).
    I wish the Real Player could do this, because you can get a high quality videos with small file size using low bitrates.
    It plays only MPEG4 part 2 profile (also called ASP, similar to H263).
    My conclusions are:
    1. The device itself will be able to play H264/AVC given the proper software (The Core Player upcoming version?).
    2. The website is too enthusiastic and made a mistake in stating that 5800 can play H264/AVC out of the box. :-["
    Here http://forum.dailymobile.se/index.php?action=printpage;topic=7687.0
    So i suppose same is the case with 5230.

  • Upgrading Qt in S60v5 (nokia 5230)

    Hi all, I want to install WikiOnBoard (from the Ovi store) which apparently needs Qt 4.7.3. Having googled a bit, it seems that Qt is a minefield/nightmare of incompatibility and poor documentation. I'm hoping that someone here can shed some light.
    The phone in question is a Nokia 5230, firmware vers 50, with an older version of Qt (v4.06) installed. This was originally installed manually following instructions and download links from Nokia Beta Labs when installing the Nokia Wellness App. SInce my phone is PAYG, I'd prefer to avoid a data download (Nokias preferred method of installing Qt, it seems).
    So, my questions:
    1) Is it possible to install Qt 4.7.3 to a S60v5 device? Some sites seem to suggest that it is incompatible.
    2) Is it possible to manually download and install the Qt 4.7.3 components, and if so where from?
    3) Having once installed, is it possible to uninstall Qt 4.7.3 from a S60v5 device? Again, some sites suggest you can't.
    4) Will installing Qt 4.7.3 break previously installed Qt Apps?
    Nokia sure do like to make it hard to install stuff... Anyway, I'de appreciate any help or advice that people can offer. I've searched the site, but been unable to find any coherent answers. Thanks

    google it wid versions typed.either frm pc or phone.i ve done it.

  • Nokia 5230 Lock issue

    Hello,
    I am using a Nokia 5230 with firmware version 20.0.005. Recently I have unsubscribed my data plan and deleted all the access points in the Connectivity settings. The issue started to happen whenever i locked the phone and after some time the Select connection message comes up. I am not able to unlock the screen when this message is shown and the only solution is to remove the battery and insert it to make the phone accessible. Recently I also changed the setting of MMS connectivity and S/W update to manual, but the problem still exists. Have any one faced this issue and please let me know if there is a solution. Thank you.

    @jeyaganesh22
    Welcome to the forum!
    Although you would need to backup essential data first, you could always consider resetting device to "out of box" state by keying in *#7370# on dialler followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself).

  • 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

  • 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 - Issues in adding Contacts to message

    Hii,
    I bought a new Nokia 5230 and transferred all the data(contacts, messages etc) from my previous phone. I am facing some issues to send message. 
    When I add a contact from my phone book to the 'To' field, the contact is not getting added.
    That is, I opened New Message option and clicked on 'To' or the contact button on the bottom, I get Contact list. But if I select any contact from the list, the list gets closed and no contacts get added to the To field.
    I can send message by entering the number directly or by going to Contact list from the home screen-> Select the contact -> Select Message option.
    I had issues in getting message, but it worked after restarting the phone. I have some other applications which lists the contacts list, but the application crashes if I select the contact detail.
    I am using the latest version OS.
    Please help me.
    Thanks,
    Arun

    if you are using another apps for contact list, may be conflicting with native phone's contact list app.
    Remove that app and see if there is any improvement

    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...
