Nokia :: 5230 Alarm Function Doesnt Seem To Work When On Charge?
Mar 11, 2010
I've looked on the forum and cant find anything that relates to this so hoping someone can help/advise. Ive had this phone about a week now and have noticed a few problems:
1. The music player hangs almost every time i use it - have to turn off the phone to get it to work again.
2. The alarm function doesnt seem to work when on charge?
3. There seems to be a lot of lag using the menus and apps on the phone.
Is anyone else having these problems or is it a faulty phone I have?
Lumia 900 failed to wake me up this morning. The alarm just did not sound at all.
- Alarm was set and was shown to be in use. Even the Icon in the start screen was shown - Tried multiple times afterwards setting the existing alarm a few minutes forward. None of the attempts alarmed.
How I set the alarm is that I always edit the existing alarm, edit the time and push the alarm on.When I tried creating a new alarm (a few minutes forward), that ringed ok. But the existing alarm failed to ring
I've a Nokia 5230 since a week. I knew it has no wifi when I bought it. For some use, it would be nice to have wifi function (free hotspot without France per exemple), so I'm looking for solutions on Web. I've found an application "bluetooth-wlan-convert" (!!!) but I can't install it on my 5230 to test it (not compatible). I also have seen a microSD card with wlan function but it seems to work only on Windows CE or Linux based smartphones [URL]. If the price was acceptable, do you think if it could be use on Symbian based phones with an appropriate application ? Do you know other way for having wifi function on phone without wifi ?
I recently purchased the 5230.I set quite a few alarms, and need to silence them without taking the 5230 out of my pocket or out of the carrying pouch and swiping the face or rotating it. Most other phones allow you to hit a button on the side to silence it. It is annoying in a meeting when I can't silence the alarm quickly.Does anyone know of any apps out there that would allow me to stop the alarm using the easily accessible volume button? Also, if you know of any apps that would give me more user controls. For example, I would love to be able to lock the camera button until I unlock it with a menu item.I gave up my old phone because of this alarm silencing issue. I may have to do the same with the 5230. I have 90 days to turn it back in to Costco.
I got a problem with my 5230. Everytime I want to open clock or configure my alarm, it said "System Error". I can do nothing with my clock, as I travel to foreign country and need to reset my time (I turned off the Automatic Updates). Also, my alarm can't be removed since I can't open the clock. Here's my specs (Info from *#0000#):
-soft. ver. 20.0.005 -ver. date 23-03-2010 -model Nokia 5230 -type rm-588
I used the map downloader from Nokia to download maps to N900. Even after downloading complete germany maps, N900 still downloads more data . Later on I just copied the cities folder from my E71 to N900. Even after that there were no maps preinstalled. I am using PR1.1. Any hints
I have a new Nokia E72 and for 2 months Nokia Messagin was working great. online subscription showed as active and lifetime free purchased with device.
Suddenly my subscription shows cancelled. On calling customer care, they asked my to renew contract with mobile operator. When there is no such case with Nokia Messaging.
How do I get it activated again....
God why didnt I simply go for the time tested Blackberry. If one has to pay, why not go for Blackberyy or iPhone.
I bought the phone about 3 weeks now, But here comes my next problem that is very close for me to actually throw it out of my apartment. The phone charger that comes with the phone DOESN'T WORK! It never worked from the start, and I had to use the USB charger from my computer to N97 Mini. Okay, so that may be a solution. However, I am travelling abroad for a conference soon. How am I suppose to bring my computer along with USB charger and everything if I was to travel light. For those people who is going ot suggest, try and plug the USB charger to other computer. Here is the problem. I've tried my entire office computers after office hour. ONLY 1 computer manage to charge for 1 hr before it 'automatically' disconnects. The rest only recognize the PC suit and Mass memory... but NOT the charging.
I installed the latest Nokia OS for my N86 yesterday, v 21.006. I now find that the BBC iPlayer doesn't work. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled, and downloaded fresh videos of Dr Who etc, etc.
But still I get the error message "unable to play either sound or video clip, Trying to play partially." And then all i get is the sound of Dr Who fighting the daleks. This all worked fine before I applied the update. I can still watch videos recorded using the camera, and via the France 24 application.
I will call Nokia Helpline, but am expecting to get told that this is due to a problem with the BBC iPlayer.
n97 just updated new firmware music doesnt work now, it takes 20 minutes to search for files and nothing updatesmusic library, i go to file manager and can see the music in the folder and it plays one song at a time. wish i hadnt bothered. so looking forward to the samsung galaxy s
The alarm doesnt start at the set time after update to 2., It has failed 2 of 3 times.Im sure I set it correct and it shows the alarm time under the clock as activated and also at the top info bar.
My sons Nokia was recently repaired under an insurance claim for water damage. After approx 2 weeks of recieving the phone back from the insurers the phone starting bhaving eratically - not allowing him to play music, showing the phone was charging when it wasnt plugged in. Well before i had chance to do anything about this the phone is now completly unresponsive, it turns on and off but when it is on none of the keys work, the touchpad doesnt work when you slide the screen up and down it does nothing. Does anyone know if this is something likely to be linked to the repair or if it is likely to be a seperate problem with the handset (possibly covered under warrenty) and just a coincednce?
I have a huge problem with my N79, its only about 3 months above a year old. Its been acting up for the last 24 hours. When the phone's on, and i try using the keypad to either to type out a text or to move around the menu, the phone hangs / keypad doesnt work. I dont know whether its the phone hanging or the keypad problem because the screen goes dark, and i cant revive it, but its still on, and i have to restart the phone, but the same thing keeps happening. I tried hard reseting my phone, that didnt work either.
Everytime i plug in the charger or try to connect it to a usb it doesn't recognise the charger and remains the same. It doesn't charge at all, What do i do?
Like many of you, I have my BB set to make a sound when I get a new email, voicemail, etc. Is there a way to turn this off so its silent so that the alarm function will still work to wake me up in the morning? This way, when you are in a hotel, you can get uninterrupted sleep, but still have the alarm wake you up.
I have tried, and failed, to find this function, on previous Nokia models, it has been in the General part of settings under date and time, but not on the E5. There is a clock alarm tone setting and a snooze time setting, but no way, that I can see, of setting the alarm time
I have just bought an E66 and am having problems with getting the caller ID function to work.I have stored my contacts with the country code before the number. However, when people call me, it does not show them as a saved contact, it just shows the number.This is frustrating and is a continuation of a long list of problems with my E66. I would say that the E66 is not the best phone I have used from Nokia.Can anyone please offer some suggestions on how to make my saved contacts show up on screen when they are calling me?
Ive got a problem with my space bar. Normally if i touch the left arrow under and then spacebar u get the search lamp with more symbols now i have to touch them at the same time. whats wrong? if i do the arrow first and 1 sec later the spacebar is doenst work, then got a space. So the Spacebar( more symbols ) only work if u touch them at the same time.( leftunder arrow and spacebar )
I have recently been given a nokia C3 - 01 phone. I love it but the only problem is, I don't want the snooze option on my alarm. On my old nokia 6300 I had the option of turning the snooze off from settings. I have looked through the manual but cannot find anything that says how to turn the option off totally. How to alter the snooze time but not how to disable it.
i wasnt sure whether here is the right place to put my problems facing.i bought my nokia e72 5days ago.at the begining was all good.till one day when i started using the sms function.the space bar button couldnt work but other keypads were fucntioning well.what might my problem be? i tried pressing hard on the button but it just wont give me the space bar function after swicthing off and on then only it works.
After doing the update to v40 my alarm does not work properly (on both my 5800's), when the alarm goes off and the stupid orange and red bars come up saying snooz and stop they do nothing ! I hit them and the alarm just keeps going and going, I have to hit the red menu button and it goes to snooz mode, is there a way to revert back to v31 as I really do not like this newer v40 firmware.
why doesn't the alarm work if the nokia lumia 920 is off? this is ridiculous. windows phone is junk, nokia should have stuck with Meego Harmattan and the Nokia N9
