Once again, I deal with my 4-year-old Nokia 5230. I'm tired of constant messages that it does not have enough internal phone memory.

The built-in file manager showed 400KB free. And a bunch of empty folders... There was nothing to remove from there

And yesterday I decided to get down to business. Since I could not find other ways to free memory, I decided to return it to the factory state.

First, with the help of Nokia Suite I made backup address book, calendar, notes, music, photos and more.

Smartphone reset methods

For the following methods, you need to dial the desired combination on a smart. Then you don't need to press the call button.

* # 7780 # soft reset. The original settings are restored. All user data remains intact

* # 7370 # more hard method... Complete restoration of the state of the factory.

These two methods require the phone to turn on.

And if he does not even do this, then simultaneously hold down several physical buttons. Green (bottom left), red (bottom right), camera (side, right, bottom). And last but not least, the power button.

Just don't ask how to do it alone.

My way

I decided that I would act as concretely as a real kid.

And I chose the middle method. * # 7370 # and smart asked for the password. I dialed 12345. My Nokia 5230 thought for a couple of minutes and rebooted. Then I discovered a pristine phone. He even stopped asking for the SIM card PIN code when turned on.

At the same time, those programs that were installed on the external memory card remained.

As a result, 67 MB are now free. And this is after 400KB

Subtleties of the update

At the same time, it turned out that he did not throw himself off completely to the state he came to me. During these 4 years, his Symbian system has been updated a couple of times. Naturally, I thought that he would download and install these updates again. But no. The "Software Update" button showed that the system itself does not need to be updated.

Truth suggested to update "OVI Maps" (11MB) and music (1MB).

And now I still had to set up the synchronization of the smartphone calendar and the Google calendar, the synchronization of the address book of smart and Google and
