October 19, 2011dial : *#7370# it will format your phone memory , (it will restore to facory setings and delete all the data from phone memory.)
dial :*# 7780 # it will not delete the personal data like contact and text messages.
it will restore factory settings without deleting all the data from phone memory
Hard Reset :thse are the sortcut keys :path is :Menu > Settings > Restore factory settings : select either settings only or restore all
Hi! HELP PLEASE. I used the restore factory settings (all) and now, I lost all the default games/collections/apps and even the menu in the internet icon is completely different. I managed to connect to a WiFi connection in our house but I can’t use the internet, maybe I also lost my browser. What can I do to bring my c3 back to its original state when I bought it from the store?
April 20, 2012perhaps you can update firmware through Nokia Ovi

October 19, 2011If you cant reach the menu or home page,
switch off your phone :
press these three keys, and hold :
* + 3 + Call
then switch on the phone.
it will restart and nokia logo will appear.
check, your cell is formatted.

November 8, 2011pls help me every time wen i make clear all cals list some number will not delete in received& missed &dialled cals why pls replay thx
First of all remove the sim card and insert it back after some time.
and insert SIM after some time.
or you can insert another sim and then again insert your sim.
this will clear all the logs.
If this does not work, read further :
this one is a bug in nokia c3, and you are not the only one with this problem.some phones have stopped logging calls also.
1.set the date and time to auto update and resart the phone and check.
2. dial :*#7780#
if 1st 2 options does not work, update your firmware, if your phpne is in warranty,
goto nokia care.
or update it yourself using pc suite.
But I think there should be something that will simply solve the problem, which numbers stays when you delete all the numbers? there should be a reason why these entries are still there.
November 8, 2011acha msg tho delet nahie hoo ga
February 28, 2012Aap ko message delete karna hai ki nahi karna hai ?
February 28, 2012soft reset karoge to nahi hoga,
hard reset karoge to contacts,messages..sab delete ho jayega.
Jay
November 8, 2011Consider factory reset or firmware upgrade as the last option.
first try this :
if an entry in dialed numbers is showing invalid selection.
dial the number more than 5 times, then try to delete.
or edit/delete the contact and repeat the same process,
as it clears call time, but the entry is still there, and last 5 calls are registered from one contact.
this should enable the delete option.
if the entry is not deleted, it may stop the logging as new numbers can’t replace this entry.

November 11, 2011I need help, i have like corrupt messages in my inbox no matter how many times that i reformat it, it would not delete.
how would i remove those corrupt messages in my phone???
please reply
November 11, 2011sorry for late reply, I am human after all
if you want to try my guesses, you can :
1.delete the contact from you got message. or save that number as another name. i doubt all this unable to delete is because of the duplicate entry or somthing about contacts.
2.insert another sim and send some messages and then insert your sim again. because sometimes it clears inbox.
3. try to use delete all message from inbox. you will lose all your messages.
4. did you perform hard reset ?
dial *#7370# backup every thing as it will clear your entire phone memory.
can you please ask a new question ? i will continue solving it there, and will reply you here until the question is published.
or just let the message stay, may be one day it will get bored and delete itself

November 23, 2011hi.. my problem with my nokia c3 when i take picture it does not appearing in the memory card also the music i downloaded its not into the memory card? pls give some advise..thanks
Jay
November 23, 20111. are you sure you have set the options to store data on memory card and not phone memory?
check phone memory.
sometimes it takes time to appear the photos in the album
and you have refresh/update music library to see newly added songs.
still you should see them on memory card,
to make sure, connect memory card to pc using usb mass storage mode and check if the files are on card or not.

November 24, 2011hi someone changed my c-3 nokia security code, and i tried to find the master code, and tried a million codes and i dont know what to do. i cant talk to the company i bought it from until monday, and i need to use my phone. i have tried EVERYTHING! any suggestions?
right now, i don’t know it.
12345 is the default.
but you said someone changed your code !?
that person must be knowing your old code, without the old code , it cant be changed.
i will update you if i find something.
master code failed when i tried.
may be it is for old models only/
there was a trick of resetting it back to 12345, but the link is removed from all the pages.
so wait till Monday, or try to find the person who reset the code.

guys, you should either ask a new question, to get more attention.
http://www.makeuseof.com/answers/
or visit nearest nokia care.
if your keys are not working, there can be something loading in the
background, it is normal if this happens when you start the phone.
i forgot my security code…. how cn i reset?
February 13, 2012You need to hard reset the your nokia c3..
contact Nokia care.
They will do it for you.
(There is a keypad combination to hard reset, but never worked for me.
February 13, 2012and as it is locked the normal process of hard reset can’t be performed.)

January 21, 2012what if i did not remember the password?
Try 12345 which is the default code.
It’s not possible without the security code.
Contact nokia care, for both the issues. security code and the problem that you have.
Tell them to backup your data, and then hard reset.
January 21, 2012I think that’s what they will do.

Delete text,MMS and other mails.If you’ve large contact list then it also occupies more phone memory.
June 14, 2012why my phone memory (nokia c3-00) is full though there is nothing in the phone memory. every thing has saved in memory card n contract are save in sim. is it possible some file are hidden due to viruses?? how can i make my phone memory free.
June 14, 2012remember no mms text mgs and other thing in the phone memory help me plz.
Connect your phone to PC and scan the memory card of it for viruses.If still it doesn’t solves your problem then make a backup of your data and format the memory card of your phone in the phone itself so as to avoid any compatibility issues.
If anything doesn’t works then try updating your firmware of your phone using Nokia suite -

June 20, 2012Hi
PLEASE HELP!!!
I have recently installed NetworkAcc on my C3-00. It worked fine on 1st run.
After that when I want to access the folder it is stored, the phone switches off. Now when I turn off phone, I get to the date screen, but unable to select any keys(All keys work fine). the phone screen goes dark. I have tried several on/off boots but still problem persist.
Please help me dead boot device,flash firmware and/or upgrade/reinstall the firmware.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Flashing,upgrading,updating dead mobile is not recommended.Instead,just perform hard reset.Please follow the warnings mentioned in the site.

June 30, 2012hello,
i owe a c3 mobile, recently i have updated it to the latest firmware 8.71 by using pc suit on my pc.. everything was fine until i inserted my memory card into it.. once i did that my phone is restarting frequently and iam unable to use my memory card.. when i inserted another card it worked for the first tym when i once removed that and inserted again the same problem occured. i have tried hard reset but it didnt worked..
plzzz help me..
thanks in advance…
I think that the sole problem is the firmware of your phone.If your phone is under warranty then take it to Nokia care and tell them to reinstall previous version of firmware or else wait for another update.
