Nokia 5230 V20.0.005 SMS restart issue

Hi guys,
The long awaited update finally came. I installed it and now whenever I send an SMS the phone restarts. It's very annoying. Does anybody know how get rid of this issue?
Thank you,

II'd like to say there is... but unfortunately not... mine restarts when I personalize a profile like General, Silent , etc , or change the Home Screen settings even with the new firmware...

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.

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.

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 .

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

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.

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).

Nokia 5230 Restarting

Hi Friends,
My Nokia 5230 is turning into black/white screen & restarts automatically while trying to do tasks like msg, playing music,...
I have informed the same issue to Nokia Care, don't know what they are doing, but after taking the device for 2-4days, they will info their's no issue, they have done software reset..
But still i'm facing the same issue, done servicing, no of times but no use..
Also facing this issue twice a week....
Kindly help me..
Waiting for your reply..
Bye..

To start with, check without the SIM and Memory card being in the phone . If it remains ON..insert the SIM and the MC but only one at a time to ascertain what is creating the issue. If SIm, then first try another SIM ( borrow it from Friends / Family members) and if that works fine, get your SIM replaced thru' your Operator. Most Operators will do that for free. If MC is the problem then back-up data from it onto your PC and Format the card. Check again ...

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!

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.

Having problem with my nokia 5230

Hi, i have purchased nokia 5230 one month before. After one week i have notied that my phone network has some trouble in automatically accessing the network. I am using airtel network and then i contacted the shop and they said it may be sim problem so they said to take duplicate of the sim. After taking the duplicate sim then also the problem existed. Again i contacted them. This they said to update the software, so i gone to nokia care and updated the software and they said the problem will be solved. Then after a day when ichecked again the problem exists. So again i contacted the nokia care this time they took the phone and said they send the phone to nokia for company service and said to come back after 15 days. Yesterday they called me the phone is ok and ready to collect. So got the phone and when i checked again this problem exists. This time i tried using another network Aircel and it shows no problem.

Is your 5230 set to dual mode (GSM + UMTS) in the network settings? Switch to GSM only and observe the difference.
