Nokia Nseries :: 5230 Max Ram Showing As Just 47.38 Mb
Feb 7, 2011
i have nokia 5230 and its supposed to have 128MB ram but when i installed third party apps(RAMblow and FExplorer) these applications are showing only 47.38 as Max.free memory any reason why?
I bought a Nokia 5230 yesterday and I'm already experiencing an annoying problem.I told people on Facebook to text me their name so I could just put them into Contacts which I then did. But their names doesn't show in Inbox, only their phone numbers. What the **bleep**?I somehow added a friend of mine which IS showing, but I did that manually. I then tried adding some of the others manually with no result - still showing only their numbers.Whats wrong?
I'm about to loose hope on my Nokia 5230. The first was the battery problem. It was empty in a day and a half on very moderate use (swiched off during the night). When I recalibrated the battery the things got better but still far away from the specs on Nokia site. And yes; I have tried all the tricks to save the energy (GSM only, 30% screen brightness, no bluetooth,....).
The second I discovered, that the GPS is basicly useless. It wont lock on the sattelites no matter what.The GPS was one of the main reasons to buy 5230. If someone got lucky to find some sattelites - how good is the accuracy? Is in the range of 6 meters or less as with Garmin?
Now I have discovered, that the clock is not showing the right time. It is loosing minutes as someone said to it that one hour has only 59 or 58 minutes. I still have to discover the logic how the clock is counting minutes. I have tried with and without automatic time update. By the way; the phone has the last firmware.
So if the clock is useless then the alarm is useless and I can't use it on my buisness trips.
Is there anyone else with the same problems? Is there any solution to this clock problem? Some settings I've missed?
Someone would say; for the price everything can not be perfect.
So, is this the logic (Nokia logic):
-we will put in the GPS, but because of a low price it won't find some sattelites
-we will put the battery in the phone but because of the low price it won't last more than two days
-the phone will have the clock but because of the low price it will not show the right time
I tried in the phone. It is Factory Restore. This does not delete the phone memory.I want to delete all the contents of the phone. Just like it came when it was new.
Seem to have a problem with my phone. It no longer rings when called. We bought the phone off the internet and I wonder if updated the firmware did this?
I have tried turning off call waiting etc but it does not accept the commands
my power key is not working not matter how hard or for long i press it nothing will happen.and I know the problem is related to the key because my phone is still powered on.
I found in the web that 5230 couldn't be charged via USB from PC. My question is if I could charge this phone with Nokia AC-10 charger (from E52) with micro-USB. Is it safe to connect 5230 to this charger?
Does anyone know how I can reset my password?I want to donate my phone and change password to 0000 and it take it, but when phone reboot without SIM card after key in 000 it go into emergency call mode. And old password before 0000 also don't work.
Yesterday i tried to switch on my 5230 but the button failed... I went to nokia store (Larisa, Greece) and they asked me for 25 euros to fix it someone tell me if can switch on the telephone without the on/off button working ??
Bt a few days ago my phone was like overheating even whn Im nt using Gps, internet, and I din even talk on the phone... I was jz texting and taking some pics with the camera n it went from warm to very hot... This is the 1st time Im using a touchscreen phone so is it normal? If I were to change a new battery will it solve my problem? N whr can I get a genuine Nokia battery for my 5230?
I've had the phone since January and I have had no problems. Recently I went to install some new apps. Everything appears normal except it does not ask me where I want to install the app. Instead it just stops the whole process and does nothing. I have plenty of memory. I did a Soft reset I believe going to settings>phone>phone management > factory settings... I used the code 12345. That did not solve the problem. I tried doing a hard reset using #7370# but the phone kept responding with "request not complete".
I bought a Nokia 5230 for my wife a few days ago (neither of us know a great deal about mobile phones) and whenever the phone is on, it seems to connect to the Internet, which uses up all our talk time (we don't yet have a contract with a phone company).We have tried all the settings to keep the Internet disconnected, but it still seems to be happening? This is really infuriating!
Is there any procedure through which i can literally download OVI apps & stuffs directly to my Nokia 5230 using my PC Internet via USB Connection. Nokia 5230 doesn't have WiFi connectivity unlike Nokia 5800. So each time i need to download them through the GPRS which has premium charges for each download.
I am using nokia 5230. some of my contacts are saved in phone memory and some in sim memory. But now if anybody calls me neither the caontact name nor the contact number is apperaing. It simply shows call1 calling. And in the call list (missed, recieved)n its showing as no number.
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 am facing 2 problems in 5230 1. not able to create new profile, when clicking the "create new" option it is showing the existing profiles only. 2. E-mail notification option not showing under settings > personal > homescreen this all happend after I have restore my phone to factory settings.
I have nokia5230 i send message that stores in outbox. if i delete or resend also its not moving out from outbox. the symbol near battery indication displays as outbox image. How to remove the message from the outbox?
Like the title says, my 5230's web browser crashes whenever I try and load a forum thread, I was able to do this a while ago and I've not run out of data or anything, there are no music files, no photos, no apps on the phone. I have reset the settings to factory but nothing has helped.I'm starting to get fed up of this phone, it has good navigation properties but that is just about the only thing it has going for it now.
Today I launched TuneWiki for the first time. Before that my phone memory was normal (not low). And after I registered at TuneWiki, the app scanned my music, and after that I got an error saying that: Disk space exhausted. cleanup the disk or re-install application on another drive. Well, the truth is, that I can't even uninstall it, because I get almost the same error. Tried to install the app again without uninstalling but the same happened.
I've only had my phone for 5 months and I recently got a phone update. Ever since then, it keeps switching itself off, especially after I've sent a text.
I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find where it download it. I called Nokia and the only thing they could tell me was to restore it back to factory settings. i really don't want to do that. There has to be a way to just download the API Bridge. It has not seemed to effect anything so I am wondering if I really need it. What does the API bridge do anyway? It has not seemed to affect anything yet. (or not that I have noticed)
