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

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 205 and whatsapp

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

armagon wrote:
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

Nokia C3-00 Firmware Updating issue

I am trying to update my Nokia C3 from V 4.45 to V 7.20 through nokia software updater. After 10 min remaining timer shown, I get an error message "Software update failed. For optimum connectivity, your USB cable should be...". I tried updating on desktop and laptop too but it gives me same error. Any idea how to resolve this issue?

Hello nokia, i am very much dissapointed by updating my nokia C3-00 firmware version from v4.65 to v07.20. In previous update of v4.65(which was my first update) everything was working great, but now after updating to v07.20 it shows so many bugs. Even the apps don't run at all, and displays 'application error' all the time. Bottom line - I request to nokia software engineers to take some sudden action and please provide us ( nokia lovers and believers) a new bugs free firmware for c3-00 as soon as possible. Thanks

Thanks Nokia Philippines!

I had the same problem when I had to select one (key) option from several from an pre recorded menu of options. The keypad would lock up in a few seconds and I had to quickly press the lock button on the side of the phone to unlock the keypad, by that time I had lost track of what the automated message was saying - very frustrating and not user friendly at all. There should be something that Nokia can do to deactivate this auto keypad lock feature. Thanks.
