Nokia 5310 Temperamental Navigation Key

I have had a Nokia 5310 Music Xpress phone for about a month and overall I love it and think its a great phone! Not only can I listen to all the music I want on it but also read any pdf ebook I want thanks to some great Java utilitys. (Apologies for the mini review but I really am enamored with this mobile :-)
But recently its developed an annoying problem. When I intially start using the phone the navigation key (the one in the middle) want function when I press it down or right! I usually have to be pressing buttons for a few minutes or so before these directions start to work.
I'm therefore assuming its not a hardware fault but anyone know what could be the matter and more importantly how I can fixs it?
Thanks.

its ok mate, i understand the fear when your phone doesn't work properly or suddenly stops working eep . anyways, since there is no other surefire way to clear the slate the phone works with as yours is a Series40 phone, the only thing you can do now is to take your phone to a local Nokia Care Centre. maybe the contacts are misaligned with the keys (sorry, attempting a technical explanatoin here ), i had the same problem with an old samsung mp3 player. the centre key was a joystick and after too much usage, it becomes so mashed and misaligned that can't select up/down and right accurately and correctly most of the time.
however, there is also the possibility that it still may be something to do with the firmware. often Series60 phones have firmware updates that improve the reliability of the soft-key selections, so it could be something along the lines of that too. but only definite way to check is to take your phone to your Nokia Care Centre. sorry to hear that its stilll not working properly
p.s. if you could please throw some kudos my way, would mean a lot to me

Nokia C6303 Right Navigation Key

Hi,
Since updating to the latest firmware my right hand navigation key now gives the list of applications rather than the features. I used to have my contacts on this key and now I only get a chpoice of different games and applications I never use. Is there any way to get the choice of phone features back on this key, same as there is on the left key?
Axel

you can change the shortcut difinition of navigation key, I didn't have 6303 here on my hand, but you can try below path: Menu->Setting->Phone-> shortcut-> navigation key...
Good luck!

Nokia 6021 navigation key

Pressing right the middle navigation key opens the PTT groups. I'd like to change this to open calendar as with other nokias. I know this can be done with 6020, but ...
Thanks.

Return the device to where you purchased it from and they should replace or repair.

Forgot Nokia 5310 Key unlock code

i have forgotten the code which unlocks my nokia 5310 keypad
i really need some help because i can't do anything without it.
Also if it helps i of course have all the items that came with it usb, instructions,etc
if i left anything out please ask, because i really need to get it unlocked (preferably at home rather than taking it somewhere)

I'm afraid there's nothing you can do as an end-user. If there was, the security code would be of little use...
Your only options are:
1) remember the security code, or
2) Take the phone to a Nokia Care Point, where they can reset the security code.
Note that the NCP will want to see documents proving that you are the owner of the phone and that is isn't one you "borrowed" or "found" somewhere. An invoice showing the phone's IMEI and your name, and photo ID are what's required usually.

Navigation key in 6700 slide

Does anyone know how or if you can personalise the middle navigation key so you can choose which applications it goes to if you click right, left, up or down? Can't find it in the manual and can't figure it out without it.
Thanks

The other user has described how the flashing-envelope problem is caused by your SIM card having a bunch of SMS messages unnecessarily stored on it.
If you would like a more step-by-step explanation, you can go to an article on a Nokia 6700 Help Blog. The steps to delete the messages and get rid of the envelope icon are located at: http://www.metamango.com/nokia6700slide/?p=11

Nokia 5310 - Display freeze problem

Hi,
I got a new Nokia 5310 last week and its doing great and i like it a lot, except for the following problem..
Problem description:
I find the phone display freezed and become grey and stopped responding to any keys..
this happened first time (on day two) with low battery and then started observing it frequently now (once in two days), when the phone is left with screen saver..,
at this state, when a call is made to phone, caller can hear the phone is ringing, but the phone is still dead..,
the only way to correct this is, remove the battery and reboot the phone.,
Query:
before going to nokia care centre, will this be a firmware bug (based on reported problems) or hardware bug(specific to my handset)??
thanks in advance for the help.
regards
deva

please check this version is available version 3.63 if not u need to update.any body has any suggestion for this issue.
tongue is too confused on what to speak

Backlight of the navigation keys Lumia 830 not wor...

My backlight of the navigation bar of the Nokia Lumia 830 are not working properly. They were on in the beginning, but after a while they turned off. If I disable the option ''battery saver (brightness)'' in the settings of ''screen'', the lights turn on!! Strange.
The problem is.. I haven't enabled battery saver and my battery is fully charged. Still, the lights won't go on when I have enabled the option ''battery saver (brightness)''.Thereby, on my glance screen the battery saver icon is activated. Agian, battery saver is not activated.
Looks like a software problem. Is this a known problem and is there a solution?
I hope to here from you.
Kind Regards,
Jesse

Hello,
I first wanted to say thank you for your response!
Yes, I'm still experiencing it, but I've found a workaround. Let me first answer your questions and then I will tell you about my workaround.
It doesn't happen randomly. It started after a charge overnight. I inplugged my device and this battery shield was on my glance screen, even though battery saver was not activated. On my start screen this shield wasn't visible on the battery icon. After that, my navigation keys won't light up anymore. I've tried soft resets and all options in the battery saver settings, but that didn't help. I would have contacted my point of purchase if it was a hardware defect, but..
I've found out that it isn't. It is a software bug. In settings there is also a setting for ''screen''. If I go there, there is an option called ''battery saver (brightness)''. It is enabled by default, which is good so my screen will be dimmed when battery saver is active. But.. although battery saver is NOT active, this option does effect my brightness (so it will dim when battery saver is not active)! Thereby, when I disable this option, my keys will light up!!
It seems some sort of software bug related to the battery saver. It is not enabled on my device and my phone is fully charged, but there is a battery shield on my glance screen and the option under screen does have effect on my brightness. I've checked it with a Lumia 930. The option under screen (battery saver (brightness)) has no effect on the brightness of the screen when battery saver is not active. After activating, the lights of the keys will also still light up. So, no trouble with the Lumia 930.
I hope I explained it clear. If not, feel free to ask.
btw, is there somewhere I can report this bug? Or if I report it her, will it be in the right place?

Nokia 5310 Comes With Music problem

I've had my Nokia 5310 and Comes with Music since December and have yet to figure out how to transfer the music I've gotten from Comes with Music.
I've spent aeons on the phone to Nokia customer services and we have figured out so much as it's not the memory card, the phone, the registration with comes with music, or my computer.
I've managed to go through Windows Media Player and transfer OLD music to my phone which plays as normal. When I transfer a comes with music song, it says there is an error. Then I check my phone and the song is on there... But when I press it to play it says, "recieving activation key" and "subscribe to packet data first". I took a stab at what this means and got personal configuration settings for MMS and Sych and Streaming but they dont seem to work, because I still can't send picture messages. Go figure.
Can anyone help? I payed for this and it's not working, no one seems to know whats wrong.
Ana

If you can't sent pictures thru mms, then its not properly configured for your phone. I would advice you to give your provider a call & have the configuration for packet services sent to you, or give you instruction on how to do it with your phone. Ask also what services are being offered to you.
Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!

6210I left hand navigation key

I wet my Nokia and managed to transfer photos from images to a new handset. What I can't transfer are images in my text in box and sent box. This is because my left hand navigation key is stuck. This means that I can't hit options therefore I can't send them via bluetooth or text them elsewhere like a computer or another handset. I have a mac and have never been able to download photos off the phone! Is it a case of getting the key pad repaired before I can free the images, videos and sound recordings of my baby? This is probably the 15th attempt I have made to access these images. Thank you!

have you tied going to shorcuts and move the function you need to the other side or use the active standby the same way and if going left does not work try going right til you get to the desired selection
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Nokia 5310: bought it 5 days ago and the display i...

Hello,
I am opening this topic because i feel very frustrated about my nokia recent aquisition. At the 22 of this month (6 days ago) i have bought a nokia 5310 in a People´s Phone store.
The design of the mobile is very attractive and most functions too, that were the main reasons for my aquisition. Now the worst part, as many of you guys the first weeks after i bought a mobile phone are sacred, o treat my mobile as a baby, bought a silicone "wallet", dont know the word in english, dont mix it in the pockets with the keys to avoid scratchs, etc etc etc. However even being so carefull a strange thing happend yestarday, i was driving in my car and suddenly at my mobile and the display was all black. I went to the store wondering what was happening to my mobile and they told me the display was broken however there isnt any exterior sign on bad use or falls of the mobile, as i told you previously i just bought it 5 days ago. I have asked to exchange for another phone as that was very strange the told me they cannot do that because the phone its broken even there isnt a sign of a bad use then cant trade with a new. They also told me that they can send to nokia however they wont do anything because its broken and when its broken the fault seem to be always of the client.
I am really frustrated spend 110€ in a mobile, give it the best treatment and now 5 days after bought its BROKEN!
What you guys think i can, should? What you guys would do?
Thank you
Sorry for bad english!

All you can do is to contact Nokia directly using the "Contact us" tab to the top right of this screen and put forward your case the best you can. You never know what they might do for you. You won't know until you try.

Nokia 5310 is locked

Hi,
All the factory setting of my Nokia 5310 have been restored. Since then when I switch ON my phone I'm asked to create a new security code, that I do and confirm, but the phone remains locked. The keyboard is not activated, but I can receive a call.To OFF my phone I need to remove the battery because no key is activated. Whenever I ON my phone I'm asked to create a new security code. Can someone have any idea that will help me fix this phone? I've bought it 8 months ago.

I've tried this default code 12345 but it is not working. Yhe problem is that, when I switch on the phone, a I'm requested to create a new code that should have between 5 to 10 digits. What ever code you enter it will be accepted) but when you confirm the code it shows you that the phone is locked, the key board is not activated,but you can receive a call. I don't know if somebody faced this issue in the past or have the solution.
Thank's
Jymmy

Creative Zen Vision 30GB - How to set IR Remote ON with Navigation keys not working in the play

I have Creative Zen Vision 30GB player. Within a month of buying, its navigation keys stopped working. I took it to the customer service of store where I bought it and they fixed it (their solution was to make firmware update, even though I do not understand how come that can fix this issue). Anyways after another 5 months of not so often use, the same problem returned (key pad stopped working and without it this player is useless). I sent it to Creative and they returned it saying that as it has few scratches on the edges, they believe it has been hit. I never dropped the player and these are normal scratches at the end if you do not use any skin (which I could never find for this player). Btw from my other friend's experiences, Creative always does like this, never considered warranty (so beware!). Anyways now the problem is that I have IR remote for Zen vision but it can not work till IR Remote setting in System->Player Settings is switched ON. And this can not be done as the navigation keys are not working. So please please suggest me some other way if anybody of you know to enable this setting through software. Otherwise this costly player is just a 30GB harddisk for me

Just wanted to mention - I bought the IR Remote thinking to make the player useful without navigation keys. Now I feel like I wasted more money instead of shifting to some other player by some other company with better customer service.
