This is the new home for our dear Nokia 5730

Mission statement:

1. as a homeground for all users
2. as point of reference for technical, functional, hardware, software etc problems and solutions
3. to promote 5730 to others, to grow the family
4. have fun!

Keep in mind this is work in progress. Forgive me if I dint update this often.

5. If you have these problems, do leave a pm to me:
problem, username, ap/avaxx/zitron

- dust under screen
- loose slider (almost putus)
- loose backcover (broken tabs)

FAQ
1. Software - original softwares from nokia
http://www.nokia.com.my/get-support-and-so...730-xpressmusic

Download PC Suite http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global...0_9_eng_web.exe
2. Hardware - physicals

3. Firmware, bugs - how to update

How to back up
- you have to use the usb cable.
- plug in, and let PC suite detect your phone.
- goto control panel->system->hardware->device manager
- scroll down to Ports, select 'nokia 5730 express music USB (comx)
- goto port setting-> change the bits per second to maximum (12800)
- OK everything
- unplug and replug.
- Now from PC suite, click on the safety box icon and continue from there. the speed change is because the default speed is 9600 which makes the backing up time unnecessarily long.

How to update


Nokia PC Suite update
- PLUG IN A NON-ACTIVE SIMCARD. someone calling in during the update process may cause failure and risk
- download the updater from here http://www.nokia.com.my/get-support-and-so...software-update
- install it. if you meet an error code 1720, please solve it with this http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discus...essage.id=56004
- make sure you backup evreything with the pc suite backup
- proceed to 'update phone software'
