Nokia 5300 help

hi, i seem to be having difficulty installing 3rd party applications on to my phone. The installing starts but then it stops saying the "filesize is too large" when in fact i'm trying to install the app on the mem car (1gig). Also i'm having a similar problem when i try to set an mp3 as a ringtone the phone says the file is too large to be a ringtone. what gives?

What is the size of your 3rd party app?
The phone shouldn't complain about the size of a ringtone.
Give step-by-step instructions how you assigned the ringtone.
The size of the 3rd party app is 1.2 mg.
I've tried two different methods to set an mp3 as a ringtone:
1.-menu/settings/tones
-selected ringing tone
-open gallery/memorycard/music
-select song
-"Cannot be set as ringing tone"
2.-menu/gallery/memorycard/music
-press options for highlighted song
-select 'Use Tone'(greyed out in menu)
-"File size too large"

  • Nokia 5300: please help!

    i have a problem with my nokia 5300 xpress music phone! I can listen to the radio with my headphones, but when i play my music, it only plays via the loudspeakers and not through the headphones!! i've emailed nokia and they've repeatedly advised me to check that i'm using nokia original accessories and i am using the ones that came in the box! so i duno what the problem is!! is there some setting that i have to change to play the music through the headphones instead of the loudspeakers?? I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out! Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    If you haven't emptied your trash while the phone is connected, just re-connect your phone to the Mac and then empty your trash. While you deleted files from your phone's memory card, the Mac actually doesn't delete it until you run the "Secure Empty Trash" command.
    hope this helps

  • Help needed for moving sms.Nokia 5300 Xpress Music

    I'm using Nokia 5300 XpressMusic, is it possible or any ways for me to move or copy my inbox messages stored in the phone to my 2G Micro Sd Card?~ thanks.

    Not a feature of S40 devices to designate memory card as SMS storage AFAIK, so you might have to backup to Nokia Suite if too many on phone.

  • Help to format memory card (Nokia 5300)

    Hi everyone.
    I have a problem with my Nokia 5300. The problem occurred about two weeks ago and then escalates up to today, where it now has gone all bad.
    The problem is my memory card. I haven’t changed it, so it is the original card that came with the phone.
    It started with, that my phone couldn’t find my memory card. Then I had to shut down the phone and start it up again. It worked.
    But now, I can’t get my phone to see the card. I’ve tried to take the card out of the phone and then inserted it again.
    When I do that, the phone can see the card, but when I try to enter it, it says that the card isn’t formatted and therefore can’t be accessed.
    According to the Nokia 5300 manual, I’ve to enter the memory card to format it – so it’s quite a paradox. I would like to back my card up, but that doesn’t seem to be a possibility.
    Is there a way to format the memory card or is there someone with a explanation and/or a solutions to this problem? It’s really frustrating.
    I just updated my phone, so the newest version of the software is installed. I’ve backup my contacts, messages and calendar – and some of the pictures from my memory card. I could access it in the beginning of the backup / update, but suddenly it disappeared.
    Thanks
    - Emil

  • SECURITY CODE CHANGED IN NOKIA 5300 XPRESSMUSIC

    Hey everybody, this is my damn NOKIA 5300 XpressMusic and dont know who changed the security code.
    Now I m getting 1dum tension, please help me.
    None of the following gets me off the problem:
    I need a security code
    to switch off
    to switch ON/to enter desktop
    to connect to computer via PC
    to use bluetooth
    in fact without security I can't get anything.
    moreover the IMIE number is damn confusing it goes under the battery.
    Let me see if this is the real support from whole of the NOKIA company!
    Moderator Note: IMIE number removed

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You should never post your IMEI number on the internet as criminals can use it for dodgy purposes.
    The default security code is 12345, if this has been changed and you have forgotten the code then you will need to visit a nokia care point/service centre.
    They will be able to reset the code but you will lose all stored data. They will need to see proof of purchase before performing this procedure to ensure that you are it's rightful owner.
    It is not possible to reset it yourself.

  • Install games in nokia 5300

    hi. i´ve bought a nokia 5300 but i do not know how to install games on ti. i´ve got nokia pc suite 6.8. when i download games there are to files, on with .jad extension and another with .jar extension. help me please!

    There's two way:
    1-If you've already installed Nokia PC suite, just double-click .jar files then click OK. A Messenger box "Install completed" will go out, telling you that the selected game is installed.
    2-(only for Nokia s40 3rd Edition): Connect your phone to PC, select Data Storage Mode. Open your Memory card (Display as Removeable disk in My Computer), then copy .jar game & paste it here (or wherever you want on your card). Using this will save your phone memory (so limited on s40 3rd Edtion phone), but you've to play the game from your Memory card

  • Nokia 5300 chinese language setting missing

    My phone is Nokia 5300 Express Music. The first time i'm using Nokia PC Suite, going to update some software. The software is firewall update. After updated, i realized my phone language setting is changed. Chinese and Malay language is gone and others language like romana, deutsch and something else was appear. I think maybe is the software updated so the language setting also changed. So i might need help to change the language setting back to chinese cause i need chinese language to use for my phone book in chinese words.
    Anyone is know about any software to help me fix my problem???
    Hope to hear some good advice and help from nokia supporter.
    Thanks & Regard!

    Your phone was intended for sale in a part of the world other than where you are. The importer/retailer installed the appropriate language packs for you but didn't tell you that this was the case. If you have a gripe against anyone, it's against the importer/retailer.
    We can't direct you to the Nokia care points for your country because we don't know what your country is. What you can do is go to http://www.nokia.com and follow directions to support for your country from there.

  • Nokia 5300 ringtone problem

    Hi, i recently bought a Nokia 5300, and for some reason, i am not able to play certain ringtones. Most don't work and the error message that it gives me is "File size too large" which i don't really understand.. why there would be a limit on the size of the mp3 being played as the ringtone.. and also, some mp3s, will say "Not allowed by activation key"... any ideas?

    It looks more like a corrupt memory card.
    Connect the handset to your computer in mass storage mode and recover what you can off the memory card. Disconnect the phone and then format the memory card. Reconnect and copy your data back to the phone.

  • Nokia 5300 "Error in Connection"

    Hi,
    I am having trouble with my Nokia 5300 phone recently.  At certain places where i stay at, my phone will experiece the "error in connection" problem.  I bought this phone overseas and currently use AT&T as my service provider. 
    At home my phone will show i have reception but when i try calling it will give me "error in connection".  I try my sim card on my friend's phone and it works.  When he tests his sim card in my phone same error occurs. However, when i leave my home and try to use my phone elsewhere the phone works.  It's very annoying because i stay at home most of the time.  My phone now is practically useless. 
    I have read that some 3G signal will disturb the phone with error in connection.  However, i don't think 5300 is a 3g phone?
    Please help me solve this problem.  Thanks!

    Hi,
    Lets try these workarounds:
    Go to Menu>Settings>Phone>Operator Selection> Choose Manual - then phone will scan for active networks in your area, after that pick the right network which you are on.
    It might also happen that the connection quality on your area is weak - it will really have a hard time looking up for a signal especially at home. The phone will not compensate though as I have observed that it has a weak internal aerials compared to my 5610 and N96.
    I have read that some 3G signal will disturb the phone with error in connection.  However, i don't think 5300 is a 3g phone?
    3G signal doesn't affect in your phone in anyway. Nokia is only a GPRS/EDGE capable device therefore it is not 3G.
    Hope this helps =)

    i'm afraid the only way you can regain access to a memory card that you forgot the password to is to format it.
    just an update:
    i found this useful post by Adamf , it might help you find your password without formatting it:

  • My nokia 5300 keeps turning itself off

    Help my nokia 5300 keeps turning itself off. It won't let me read my messages. Everytime I press the key to read my messages it just goes off. I only had it about 6 months!!!

    Hi,
    The phone software of your N5300 got corrupted or messed up. It's either you can update it (by yourself) or send it to the Nokia Care Centre for a reflash.
    Try updating your phone's firmware by clicking to this link below:

    Make sure you meet the system requirements before proceeding and backup some of your important contents.
    Good luck

    Hey, the nokia peeps are not directly associated with this board.
    They send if any important notice is available via the mods and read only the select topics.
    As 5300 xpress msuic supports Java apps, I think you should be able to find out lots of them around the web.
    www.getjar.com is cool.
