    • Hi, maybe your phone internal memory already full so it can not work normally. You need to removed or uninstall not use applications to make the internal memory have more space to do some work. But you may also consider to do hard reset or master format, but of course you should backup all data before doing master format.

    • Hi, there are two possibility with your problems. First the software or applications block the Wifi access, the second possibility is because your wifi hardware is corrupt. Therefore, you should try to do hard reset first to make sure this problem only happen because of application. Please try to use default security code 12345. If you still can not unlock it, then you need to ask Nokia service center to unlock forgotten lock code at your Nokia E5.

  14. my phone says low phone memory and when i try to do any of those procedures, it switches of automatically. “memory full. delete some data from C: Phone memory

    Reply
    • Hi, there are several causes that can make your Nokia E5 internal memory become full. First maybe you have installed many applications that can make your memory become full. The other causes maybe the applications it self keep the history or log in more size. The other causes that maybe your phone does keep too many operational log in internal memory. So, you can try to uninstall some applications or try to clean some logs at your Nokia E5 one of them is LOG DURATION (from Menu Setting > LOG > OPTIONS > SETTINGS > LOG DURATION). Try to reduce the log duration or clean them all. The other alternative is doing hard reset or master format, but make sure you already backup all of your data before performing hard reset.

    • Hi, some applications has already created for Nokia E5 which use Symbian S60 operating system. Some of them are native like Whatsapp, but some of them are crated from other developer like Twitter and something like that. However, if you want to make that applications active, then you have to make sure your GSM already have Internet services. At least the native applications like Whatsapp will work without problem at your Nokia E5, but you have to find the the run application for non native apps who created from other developer.
