Want to unlock my Nokia 5230

I was sent a Nokia 5230 from abroad locked to the network over there, my question now is "have they been unlocking it?" Coz i was told by an expert that the file is not yet out. Pls can someone help!

You want to unlock the device to use with other operators, right? In that case you will have to contact the network it's locked to.

Nokia 5230 - US Version Unlocked

Hello All,
I recently purchased a Nokia 5230 Unlocked US version. I am having problems with dropping calls! I am on the AT&T GSM/WCDMA Network. When I got the phone, I upgraded the firmwares, ran all the updates etc. Seemed good for several days then I started to drop calls or get errors when trying to dial out... Network Busy/Connection Errors ETC. So I tried a new sim card... Seemed maybe to help a bit but still having issues. I think the issue maybe related to other issues Ive been reading up on other unlocked nokia devices... A firmware upgrade is needed for switching between GSM/WCDMA/HSPA.
Is there anything else I can try before I give up and send this back to Amazon? Im deeply saddened my e71x NEVER DROPPED calls on AT&T.
The Nokia 800# Support is a total joke. No Help at all. This is also very sad. This is my 6th Nokia phone.

bump!

I want to change my symbian nokia 5230 to belle

i want to change my symbian nokia 5230 to belle i want to try something new

Hi kunal12345,
Welcome to the Forum.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to upgrade your 5230 with Symbian Belle. Only the Symbian ^3 can be updated with Symbian Belle and your phone being a S60 it's not possible.

My Nokia 5230 blurs, any help?

My Nokia 5230 has started to blur (there're lines shaking vertically) when i click the red button or unlock it. This doesn't happen all he time. I did some search and i found this is a common problem even for 5800. I have updated the firmware to the latest version. Is there any solution other than taking it to the store?

Why don't bring it to a Nokia care point immediately and get the problem out of this world?
Edit: What you could do though, if you want to eliminate software failure of any kind is to:
1: remove the memory card and check how the phone behaves without it.
2: Remove Sim and see how the phone behaves without it.
3: do a soft reset. This will wipe your phone memory so make sure you make a backup using ovi suit or nokia pc suite, or the onboard backup client (I suggest backing up to your computer).
Now, don't install your backups yet, but wait and see how the device behaves.
If the phone is still behaving like you mentioned, you will have to seek help at a Nokia care
point.
Note that these moves are likely not to fix such behavior and that it is that last thing you should be doing, but it might be worth a try if you want to try everything before you take it to a Nokia care point.
The choice is yours! Good luck mate!

Help needed to uninstall whatsapp nokia 5230

who can help me to uninstall whatsapp from my nokia 5230, I cannot remove the app and it is eating batterys so I really want to have it removed as soon as possible
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@manonbarry
You would need to backup essential data first, then key in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by user) to return device to "Out of box" state.

Nokia 5230 - using it with the car speaker

i possible to use the nokia 5230 with my car speaker. I want to use my phone on the car speaker, while driving. I am able to use aux to connect the nokia to my mp3player in the car, but i cant seems to use it on the voice calls. (it works fine if i use it to play mp3 on the phone)
is there any instruction how to use Nokia5230 with car speaker system?

The phone would work connected by a 3.5 to 3.5 lead in as much as if you received a call whilst connected the music would stop and you would hear the caller through the car speakers, but you would still have to use the mike on the phone to speak to the caller . You need a bluetooth car kit to use it for calls properly. A work arround would be to use a splitter lead (one 3.5 extender with 2 inputs) then plug your phone into both a wired headset and the cars auxiliary input ! But doing this would mean a lot of wires !!!

Nokia 5230 video playback and recording

I own the latest nokia 5230. The problem is :
1) When I doing video record using setting TV high quality and Widescr. high quality, it seems
     that my video skip on certain seconds. Using email high quality and below doesn't give any
     problems but the quality is very poor.
2) The problem also occured on playback. Realplayer can't play the skip second on recording
      and then run as normal back after certain time.
It happens all the time as long I used both video setting. I just want to know the solution for this or there is any video recorder software like ETI Camcoder in Nokia s60 series?
Sorry for my bad grammar. I just don't know how to describe this problem. Thanks a lot.

This could be caused by a slow memory card...try this to confirm...
backup your card data in pc, format your memory card..
then make video. .... i hope no bugs in video
i have same problem i am using china made card
try faster card and update your phone software ver
good luck

Nokia 5230 v 21.0.004 phone lock problem

hi, I've recently updated my nokia 5230 to v. 21.0.004 software/firmware. After I turn off and turn it on back again, It asks for phone lock code, I entered standard code 12345, its says code error, but still I can use my phone. The phone management setting for phone lock is off, I tried to change the phone lock code, but after I re-enter the new code, it says "you've entered the wrong code five times, you can unlock in five minutes" or something like that. Is anyone have the same problem with me or have a solution for it. Thanks

if you can still access full function of your phone, reset your phone to factory setting. It is also recommended to do factory reset before formating(soft rest/hard reset) phone or firmware update. And disable phone lock. Some users reported that same code(used earlier) is not recognise by the phone after soft reset and firmware update

Nokia 5230 Hardlocked sim

Hi all
I am new here and its the first time I am writing a post so if I am at the wrong section please forgive me.
I have recently purchased a nokia 5230 nuron from eBay and at the site it said that the phone was unlocked but it wasn't. It was giving me the massage of an invalid sim card so I emailed the guy and he gave me some unlock codes to do it. I have tried them and nothing happend so I google a few stuff and found out that I hardlocked the phone and now it might be unusable. Is there any help that you can provide me with or the phone is useless now?
Thanks a lot in advance.

As Scooby said early, the Nokia Care Point can reset the counter giving you 3 more attempts to enter your code. What they won't do is to unlock it for you or give you te unlock code. You will still need to get the unlock code from the network it is locked to. Since your phone is from Spain, chances are it is locked to a Spanish network. Proof of ownership is going to be difficult as you are not the original owner and do not have the original receipt. You could ask the seller for the receipt or better still the unlock codes but chances are if they had access to either, the phone would already be unlocked.
My advice would be to return it to seller for a refund because the item is not as described.
