Nokia (Asha) 303 uses my credits even when I am co...

Dear all,
I bought Nokia (Asha) 303 a couple of years ago with the wish to browse the internet whenever I am close to WiFi network - which is both in my office and at home.
But, whenver I connect to internet, via the Nokia Browser, it consumes my credits like crazy. So much so that I am unable to use internet at all. For example, a couple of minutes ago, I paid ~ 8 CHF (like 8 USD) just to download the new version of Nokia Browser.
Is this the way it should be??? I doubt, because both my wife and my daughter are browsing carelessly using their devices - which are not Nokia 303.
I was playing with settings, and have:
WLAN search on;
WLAN first; and
Packett data - when needed.
Anything else I should do?
Kind regards
Hibernaculum

You need manual internet settings. Check this link

How to fix a nokia asha 303 when saying contact service

Can you tell us more about your problem?
If it says like PUK disabled or card blocked then you need to change your sim card with same old number from your service provider.
Is that your problem?
Anyway Nokia care is your ultimate solution.

Packet data settings in nokia asha 303

please tell me how to turn off packet data in nokia asha 303?i have to delete the gprs settings as soon as my net pack gets ovr. if i dont delete them then my balance is deducted aftr evry few minutes. i keep on receiving texts on whatsapp..is there any provision to switch it off when i dont want to use it????

Hi ady_303,
Thank you for posting and welcome to the forum.
Turning the packet data completely off is not possible unless you're going to remove the packet data settings completely off the phone. However, in order for you to avoid unecessary charges, try to remove the whatsapp or any live widget (e.g social apps such as facebook or twitter, or even weather application) from the homescreen of your device. Since these are applications that require internet connection, if set on the homescreen, it'll continuously get live feeds and updates which means, it'll be using your data.

Nokia Asha 303 messaging problems

Hi there, ive been using nokia asha 303 since a week ago, i may say it is a very good phone so far. Although im having problems in messaging. Oftentimes, whenever i send messages, others receive it although sometimes it wont send even if my signal bars are full. Also, im not able to receive text messages as well, or if i do, i receive them after hours from the time they have sent it. It also has same problems in outgoing and ingoing calls too, but im pretty much more of a texter.. XD Id like to know whether its the device's network setting or if it's my service provider that is the problem. I havent inserted any other sim except of the same service provider because it is sim-locked to Sun Cellular. Ive tried sending and texting that number in the dual mode, 3G and GSM network mode, still the same outcome. My service provider is sun cellular, from the philippines. Answers and suggestions are very well appreciated. Thank you very much

Hi Tibi89,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
Usually, call blocking is a feature you can get by downloading call blocker apps. Call Blocker apps are not available for S40 phones such as Asha 303. See this link for the explanation:
http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Phone-Applications/Call-Blocker-software-for-J2ME-supported-Nokia-Ph...
You can try to check with your network provider if they offer call blocking service.

Hi Ziyad_Gamal
Thank you for posting and welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
Possible solution for your "conflicting application"
1. Backup all your files using Nokia Suite application. Check this link: http://www.nokia.com/global/support/nokia-suite/
2. After creating a backup, you need to restore the factory settings of your phone (Restore All). Menu > Settings > Restore factory settings > Restore All. If prompted for a lock code, enter 12345 unless changed.
Note: This will wipe all your data present in Phone Memory.
3. Install Opera Mini browser on your phone. You can either install it using the Nokia Store or using Nokia Suite on your computer.
4. Open Opera Mini on your phone and browse http://download.browser.ovi.com/
5. Try downloading Nokia browser again.
For other issues that you're facing install Nokia Suite and perform a software update, see this link: http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/belle-asha-symbian-software-update/

NOKIA E-MAIL NOT WORKING ON NOKIA ASHA 303

So, I had my Nokia Asha 303 working perfectly with no bugs, no lag and good internet speed until I got this message asking me if I wanted to update my cellphone software to the v14.53. I accepted and left my phone on, with full battery, on a stable wifi connection without even touching it while the firmware was updating.
So far, so good. After it installed, all features of my phone kept working but the E-mail tool that came with the phone. The advantage of this tool for me is that I could just open a picture menu in the phone and click on "send" and the "e-mail" option would be just there. After I did this firmware update, not only my picture´s menu stopped showing the "e-mail" option on the "send" section, but I couldn´t even open the E-mail tool anymore. I would click to open it, and it just wouldn´t respond. Not even a error message.
I tried solving the problem by doing a hard format of the cellphone... making it go back to it´s factory´s configurations. It didn´t work.
I bough a data-transfer USB cable and tried to solve the problem with the Nokia Suite... all I could do was update the firmware to a newer version v14.60. But even that didn´t work. I tried to reinstall it... still... nothing.
Now... I have the feeling that, for some reason, the first firmware update I did deleted or corrupted the E-mail tool, making it impossible to restore it´s feature. Is there any way I could download the feature? Is there any other way to fix it?
I tried contacting Nokia´s Support by e-mail and phone but they said I´d have to send my phone by mail in order to be fixed and I just know that it will take a huge time till it gets solved...
Thanks for the time.

Hi MrFelps,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum.
If a hard reset and reinstallation of the software have not resolved the issue, please visit a local Care centre where this can be fixed for you.
The Care centre will most likely be able to do this in the shop itself and so you won't have to send the phone for repair. If this is necessary after all they will able be able to give you an estimate of how long it will take to repair the phone and send it back to you.
You can find your nearest Care centre here.
Hope this helps, please keep me updated on your progress.

Nokia asha 303 lock screen

is there a way to change the lock screen background of nokia asha 303?? and the time it takes before it locks automatically?

@Endyandrew those apps where proxy-based apps which relied on services run at Nokia. Nokia ceased to run those proxies in October and November 2014. if you are looking for alternatives, please, mention which services you used exactly, for example, which E-mail Service Provider. Depending on the social service, you might be better off switching the phone to a Google Android based one for example.

Database Instance Using Swap Space When There is Plenty of Free RAM metalink note [ID 761960.1]
and tried the disabling the sga_max_size and memory_max_target and memory target with all different combination but no use.
We have one more box where same setup was configured in solaris platform but there the above memory parameters are not disabled but it is not using swap space it takes memry only from physical RAM
Can any one throw some lights on this issue. It wopuld be great if I come to know where the exact problem
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I didn't say I am not using 11gr2 memory parameters I am using all the automatic memory parameters but the thinks is as per the metalink note I tried by disabling the automatic memory parameters. but that didn't help me in preventing unnecessary swap usage. So I reverted. now it is using automatic memory parameters.
so What is the solution for this?
With Regards,

Observation: SAP uses swap space even when OS has available unused memory

Hi Folks,
   It is my understanding that any memory not used by the Linux OS itself or the SAP application is available for Linux to use for I/O buffers and file caching. When the SAP application requires more memory I would expect Linux to take memory away from itself (release I/O buffer and/or file caching memory).
   We have observed that SAP uses swap space even when there is memory available. Is there some feature in SAP kernel or some ABAP construct that causes SAP to prefer swap space over available memory? Or maybe there is a Linux kernel setting that influences SAP's use of swapping.
Regards,
Zaz

Hi Mike
You did not mention which distribution you have. Under SLES there is is a parameter called SWAPPINESS, which controls the buffering/swapping.
cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
If you don't already know, you can see the memory usage with the free command.
root # free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          7987       7901         85          0        364       4262
-/+ buffers/cache:       3274       4712
Swap:        15999          0      15999
As far as i know, in this example 3274 is memory used by SAP and other processes and 4712 is cache. Please correct me if i am wrong.
Regards
Michael
Edit: a low swappines, for example 10 means to reduce cache first, a high swappiness (example 100) means page out processes first

Nokia asha 200 - Headset symbol remains even after...

My nokia asha 200 thinks headset is plugged in even after removal. Also when ever i plug in the headset, while music player is on, the song automatically changes to the next. Also when i insert or remove the headset during call the call ends automatically. But if i switch off and on the phone the headset symbol disappears and reappears after inserting for the first time and won't go even after removing it. I have to switch it off and on everytime to get rid of the symbol. The same happened with other nokia headsets also. what could be the cause? How can i solve the problem?

We are working on having a solution for this (fairly common) problem, that the Nokia browser may break after the over-the-air browser update.
In the meantime the only solution are to take the phone to a Nokia Care service point for reflashing or to use e.g. Opera Mini instead.
