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.

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.

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.

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...

Image open problem in nokia 5230

Dear All,
I have nokia 5230 mobile & i am using from last 10 months but from past few days i am facing problem regarding image/songs open problem. whenever i trying to open image my phone gets hang & it shows nothing in it but i have 100 pics in memory card, same problem is with songs whenever i put some songs in memry card but songs gallery after refreshing shows nothing.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Vipul

im not sure what to do about the images but the same happened with the songs. here is waht i did:
1. make sure you have the latest firmware installed (fw. 50).
2. when it is installed copy all tracks to pc and install nokia ovi music.
3. delete the folder called 'music' on your memory card.
4. open ovi music and add songs to playlists and copy to device. this will create a new folfre called 'music' and the error should be fixed
if that fails you should try a program called lcg jukebox as this is a much better music player

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!

Call log issue in nokia 5230

I have reloaded the software twice from Nokia site & several times selection for 30 days call log is selected, but all in vain. Can anybody help??

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 - US Version Unlocked

Hello All,
I recently purchased a Nokia 5230 Unlocked US version. I am having problems with dropping calls! I am on the AT&T GSM/WCDMA Network. When I got the phone, I upgraded the firmwares, ran all the updates etc. Seemed good for several days then I started to drop calls or get errors when trying to dial out... Network Busy/Connection Errors ETC. So I tried a new sim card... Seemed maybe to help a bit but still having issues. I think the issue maybe related to other issues Ive been reading up on other unlocked nokia devices... A firmware upgrade is needed for switching between GSM/WCDMA/HSPA.
Is there anything else I can try before I give up and send this back to Amazon? Im deeply saddened my e71x NEVER DROPPED calls on AT&T.
The Nokia 800# Support is a total joke. No Help at all. This is also very sad. This is my 6th Nokia phone.

bump!

Nokia 5230 - cant update to v20.0.005

Just bought a Nokia 5230 from Argos. It had v11.0.079 firmware installed. I've tried updating the firmware to v20.0.005. I used the *#0000# OTA method. However, the latest firmware that it found was v12.0.089 so I installed it. I've tried again to get v20.0.005 but it says I have the latest firmware.
I'm on a Vodafone contract that I've been on for the last 5-6 years. I have it at half price so never get a phone upgrade so I always just buy a new phone every couple of years or so. I'm on such a good tariff that I prefer to keep it that way.
Any ideas why I can't get the v20.0.005 firmware? I haven't tried it via the PC yet as I dont have the required cable (where can I get one of these?).
Thanks

Firmware is tied to product code not phone model .
In your case it will be Vodaphone at fault .
