Why is my Nokia C3-00 missing applications?

khairul asks:

I bought a Nokia C3-00. After 3 months the phone restarts and all the applications are missing. Even email communications and the like. What can I do to recover them?

    start with soft reset.

    dial :*#7780#

    After entering security code, it will restart the phone. and restore.

    check if it solved your problem.

    try hard reset or firmware update if soft reset does not work.

        Update using nokia pc suite.
        Connect cell to pc in nokia mode.
        and click on software update in pc suite.

        It will download software updater.
        and will display if an update is available

    what is the security code?

    • Jay December 19, 2011

      default is 12345
      if you have not changed it, and set your own.

      Not a virus. A lot of Nokia c3-00 phones have this problem it’s a manufacturing problem (hardware). You should return the device as soon as possible to the store where you bought it.

    i have the same problem.. i don’t know what to do now.if i go to a nokia store can they bring it back?

    • Jay.0 February 11, 2012

      Yes, better if you contact nokia care. Because none of the possible solutions work for people.

      and I never had such problems with any of my nokia phones.

      • mrslsp February 20, 2012

        mines done the same but dont know where a nokia store is in my area??

        • Jay.0 February 20, 2012

          Where do you live?

          Search “nokia store finder.” on google.
          or you can google: nokia care {city name}.
          or you can check your local directory.

          I can only see Nokia India store finder.
          http://www.nokia.com/in-en/store-finder

          you can manually find it, or
          click on share location, , and it will show stores near you.

      For checking viruses,firstly scan your memory card from PC using antivirus like Avast,Microsoft Security Essentials.If you still suspect any malicious activity then update your phone to latest firmware using Nokia suite.

      Nokia suite -
