Nokia asha 205 and whatsapp

Which version of nokia asha 205 support whatsapp, is it single sim version or both single sim and dual sim version?

Yep, it's up to the developer for a big part, but also about phone specs & performance as Whatsapp is implemented so that it can run in the background and stay connected all the time. There is at least one previous existing example of a single-SIM Asha model which didn't get Whatapp support at all (Asha 203). Based on my understanding with dual-SIM phones the problem is essentially the same - Whatsapp should stay connected all the time, or otherwise you will miss messages from other users. However changing between SIM-cards would interrupt with the connection.
That doesn't sound right to me. Nobody would make a mobile service which requires a 100% reliable connection. Also, Whatsapp works fine in dual SIM Android phones to my knowledge. So there must be something in the way dual SIM is implemented in Series 40, which makes it impossible or at least difficult to make Whatsapp work with them.
The lack of Asha 203 support is probably a memory issue: all other Asha phones have at least 32 MB of RAM, but the poor 203 has to make do with just 16 MB. It does not explain why for example the C2-01 and C2-02 are not supported, but that could just be an omission on part of Whatsapp developers. If the memory theory is correct, Asha 205 won't be getting Whatsupp, either (it has only 16 MB of RAM).
Mobile phones: 3310, 3510i¹
Smartphones: N70¹, N82, E50¹, 6220 Classic¹, 6710s Navigator¹, X6-00, N97 mini¹, 700¹, Asha 311¹, Lumia 710¹, Asha 503¹
In the family: C2-01¹, Asha 303¹, 301¹
¹ Still in working condition

  • Nokia Asha 205 Not playing Mp4 Videos

    I was using Nokia x2-01 before. Recently i purchased a Nokia Asha 205. I have tried to play all the video files but discovered that those in mp4 format only plays the audio part of the file and writes VIDEO NOT SUPPORTED on the screen. What can i do?

    You need to convert the videos to phone supported mp4, 240*320 resolution using format factory pc software and copy the videos to your phone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Nokia Asha 200 and Asha 201 (incomplete software a...

    Dear Nokia Support,
    I own a Nokia Asha 200 and Nokia Asha 201, two very nice and good phones, however, I have updated my phones today to the latest Software Version 11.81. I have done the update as instructed by the Nokia Suite and did not pay any attention to the Windows Warnings given, as instructed by the Nokia Suite.
    We'll, whilst updating the phone, I noticed that Windows gave the following warning "Hardware ID missing, contact manufacturer", as stated by the Nokia Suite I did not pay any attention to this warning and let the program continue to update my Nokia Asha 200 and Asha 201.
    After the update, which was succesful (the phones updated and restarted as usual) but, some applications are missing, here is a list of the missing stuff:
    - Store
    - Social
    - all non-removable games (in games)
    - all non-removable apps (in my apps), like: converter, introduction, size converter, tips and offers, world clock)
    Next to that, I can remember that all apps are in an alphabetical order, now they are scrabled (no such a big issue though), more importantly the missing apps and games.
    I use nokia for a really long time, like 25 years or so, I know that software updates can be a bit naggy now and then, but I never had this kind of an issue.
    Any ideas, tips or tricks Nokia Support?
    PS: i did a factory reset (via the phone) after the restart it still was the same, a second "update" also did not help.
    I hope I am not the only one with these issues and look forward to any helpful reply.
    With warm regards,

    Hi needa,
    The Nokia Asha 201 is not a Dual Sim. Look at the User Guide here.
    Otherwise, the Nokia Asha 200 is a Dual Sim. You will find all the specifications here.

  • Nokia Asha 205 firmware update while roaming

    Hello,
    is it possible to update the Asha 205's firmware when the phone is roaming? The device does not have an USB-port, and Nokia Suite won't let me update when the phone is connected via Bluetooth. The FOTA update isn't working, because the phone thinks I am abroad and won't download the update. 
    I am on the Saunalahti network in Finland, which is using Elisa's network and thus the phone is "roaming" although it's actually in its home network.

    Menu » Settings » Connectivity » Mobile data » Mobile data » from ‘Off when roaming’ to ‘On’. Still the same:
    English: Unable to download when abroad
    German: Herunterladen im Ausland nicht möglich
    Spanish: Impossible descargar en el extranjero
    Portuguese: Descarregar impossível no estrangeiro
    French: Téléchargement impossible à l’étranger
    Dutch: Kan niet downloaden in buitenland
    Turkish: Yurtdışında indirilemez
    Italian: Impossibile scaricare all’estero
    All network operators who do national roaming are affected, tested with (edited: list updated):
    yesss! Austria
    bob Austria
    Telfort Netherlands
    All phones with the operating system Nokia Series 40 and Firmware Over-the-Air (FOTA) are affected, tested with a Nokia 6212 classic (Series 40 5th Edition).
    Three workarounds are known (edited: Recovery Tool added):
    A) bring your phone back to your dealer who sends it over to Nokia Care for update
    B1) update on your computer via Nokia Suite
    B2) if that does not work, use the Nokia Software Recovery Tool
    C) use a SIM of a network operator, not doing national roaming

  • Asha 200 and whatsapp

    The only limitation to using whatsapp on asha 200 is because of the background connect which is not available on this phone, i cant imagine how smaller phones like nokia 2700c can have background connect and asha 200 cant... plz guy the only way u can satisfy we ur customers is by updating a software that will enable background connect.

    The issue of whatsapp on nokia asha 200,, really u can have whatsapp on ur asha 200 manually.. Follow the steps
    find a person that his/her phone support whatsapp then, make sure the application ison his/her phone memory, then insert your memory card into the phone and copy the app to your memory card then insert it back to your asha 200 it will surely work 100%..... But the only prob is that whenever you hide the application,,it will automatically be disconnected from the internet and you wont be able to recieve messages until you open it again bcos nokia asha 200 does nt support connections in background (background connect). Drop your feedback here...enjoy

    Microsoft store should present the correct version for your phone when available. WhatsApp is not a Nokia app and as such you might be better of asking at their support site.

  • Certificate not on phone or sim for nokia asha 205...

    i have a problem installing apps on my store! it always says "certificate not on phone or sim".
    please help.

    If you get that error message, the whole software of your phone is broken.
    Repairing is the only correct way. Because officially, your phone does not have a USB port (officially), you cannot go for the Nokia Software Recovery Tool yourself (solution A). A Nokia Care Centre has to refurbish the whole software/firmware (solution D).
    The link shows a way to install the required certificates via Bluetooth (solution B and C). This requires a computer or an Android phone and is a hack. This hack might cure the symptoms (no error message anymore) but does not fix the issue.
    Anyway, why does NokiCert not work for you?

    Thanks
    Moderator's Note: The subject was amended as the post was moved to the appropriat board.

    You may use the Bluetooth instead. If your PC is not BT enabled buy a Bluetooth USB Dongle. It looks like a Pen Drive and may not cost more than USD 5.
    You need to download and install the Nokia Suite on your PC to sync data ..

    Hi Rencel,
    What software are you referring to?
    singhnsk was referring to the software of the phone itself which has to be re-flashed. Since Nokia Suite isn't compatible with your phone, the option is to bring it to a Nokia Care Point. Please visit the below link to select the support website of your country for repair instructions.
