thanks bro i owe u one
when i want to make a “hard reset”, after entered the code *#7370#, its asking me a another locked code with numbers, anyone can help thx ?
ok i found it, its 12345
My web browser doesn’t open any more, I click over the browser link and does nothing, I’ve tried to open it for menu, quick access, wifi connector etc.. it does the same … I’ve tried soft reset and it still doesn’t work do you recommend hard reset ?? will I lose all my contacts info?
Ooh gosh i just wrote a long comment and when i hit post it came up blank! Please please tell me it worked right? I dont want to sumit it again if i dont have to! Either the blog bugged out or i am an idiot, the latter doesnt surprise me lol.
First take backup of your phone memory to memory card before doing hard reset.
is there any SECURED WIFI hacking application forr 5530 ?
So what can you do if the virtual keyboard refuses to appear onscreen when you press the “telephone” button? The 4 x shortcut touch areas are now blank and when u click on them, nothing happens. heeeelp!
i’m same with mark.. how can i do if the “telephone” button doesn’t work??
Same problem as mark. I’ve tried to reset to factory settings in the phone menu. Doesn’t seem to have done much. Phone is going back as soon as I can wipe it. I hope Nokia sort the problems out, because I really like it apart from the (multiple) glitches
Same problem as Bily, Sam an Mark there is any fix over there, I really tried and looked for a fix without any success.
i done a soft reset on the nokia 5530 and now when i turn it on i cant click anything, i click the menu button in the middle and it claims the phone is locked, so went i push down the unlock button it says the same, WTF?
PROBLEM, MY PHONE CAN´T TURN ON…..IS NOT THE BATERY . WHAT CAN I DO?.PLEASE HELP ME!!! IS NEW..
The same as Mark, can’t press telephone button, but also quick app launcher dissapear and cant see my contacts. I soft reset with no success turn off an on, erase from my computer memory card and internal memory (without any change).
Any ideas?
if your nokia n97 crashes and not open at all,press shift space and backspace and power button.left pwbutton and keep hold the other three buttons until phone starts.enjoyyy
WOW! cool…
I can fix my problem, actually we downloaded program which have the newer software from the software in our Handphone , so we must update the newest software in our phone..
it little that i can help to Victor, Billy, an Mark.
i’m sorry if my english is bad.
Sam, tks, but, the newer software downloaded directly from your phone or from the nokia site? Which version downloaded?? My actually version on my phone is 10.0.50.211.04 Tks!!!
I had the same problem but u can access the touchpad phone through your contacts lists: just call someone randomly but don’t give it the change to connect. end the call and if your lucky the phone appears. I don’t know why but it doesn’t work every time i’ve tried to find what it is that’s doing this but i can’t put my finger on it :p (lame joke
made it unintentionally). But if you can get the touchpad u can simply type in the hard reset code which is above and i’m too lazy to scroll all the way up to type it here for you. And the hard reset made the two buttons on my home screen (contacts and telephone) work again. If the touchpad seems to disappear whithout you doing something don’t worry cause it’s in your applications shortcut thingy. Sorry for the way too long explanation since i’m not sure it’ll work for everybody but it worked with my cell so… I found it by just messin around with the contacts a little press this butten there and that one there and then sometimes a touchpad popped right out.
So Vic, bill and Mark and all the others.
GOOD LUCK,
Hope i could be of some assistance
I had an issue where the Nokia 5530 phone would hang at the Nokia screen after being powered on. I found a tip on the Nokia WEB site to remove the SD card before turning the phone on. This worked for me. I then reinserted the SD Card, powered off and back on the phone. Everything was working again. You can try to remove the battery for about 20 minutes to reset the phone. I have had this work as well.
*#7370#
The above code is solution to every problem except hardware.
thanks for sharing it.
