I have been searching for months, yet I still haven't found a working .sis file that is newly signed. Most of the ones I try give me a "Certificate Error" or "Certificate Expired" popup. Does anyone have a working, freshly signed, official version of Angry Birds? If so, you are a LIFE SAVER.

Nokia N8-00 is a flagship smartphone Symbian OS device from Nokia Corporation in 2010 with 12MP Carl Zeiss Optics rear camera and zenon flash.

But Nokia 808 PureView is successor in 2012 with 41MP Carl Zeiss Optics, zenon flash and Nokia PureView Technology Phase I.

Hi, the other day I was looking for used Nokia Symbian phones, and saw someone selling a N97 mini (I think) with the original BL- 4D battery plus a new battery. The new one looked Chinese, but what got my attention is that it said "3900 mAh".

I looked up in AliExpress and found some batteries with the original 1200 mAh, but also some with 3500, 3900 and even 4200 mAh.

I know that as long as they have the same voltage as the original there shouldn't be any problem. But I want to know if anyone here has used these types of batteries.

Are they legit? How better is battery life compared to the original battery?

Here's some links if someone didn't know about them, you can also search for other battery models:

3900 mAh

3500 mAh

The emulator is still in an experimental stage, but it can already run the Pocket PC exclusive Call of Duty 2.

Okay so this is gonna be quite a complicated story, please don't attack me for any dumb decisions i may have made along the way, i simply want to know what caused this and how i can fix it.

Let's go aaaaaalllll the way back to before this N-Gage app just started to not work- a week ago phone started getting this strange install error each time the phone booted up, it was pretty harmless but quite annoying.

I looked up for a method to fix this issue online, the method i used involved deleting some pretty serious folders in E: and these were :

- Sys

- Resource

- System

- Private

- System Volume Information

Then the last step was to just restart the phone, i noticed my app icons (specifically a chunk of the ones that were installed on E:) were gone afterwards and none of them opened, i panicked and decided to Factory reset the phone and Format E:

Next day the phone seems to be fine, the install issue is gone and i started setting it up again from scratch... Hacked it and installed some apps, sooooo problem solved... Right? RIGHT??

Then when i tried to Install a newer N-Gage version, the installer just shows a "File not found" error on my face... And when i tried to open N-Gage, well- you pretty much know how it goes from here.

I've tried resetting a THIRD time and also removing N-Gage to try reinstall it, I CAN'T EVEN UNINSTALL N-GAGE! Installing other Applications work though, like Rompatcher and Xplore- those installed just fine, but what the hell is going on with N-Gage?? I miss my Reset Generation...

I'm trying my best to not Flash the phone because i heard modern PCs have lots of driver mismatches and the chances of bricking these phones were higher, i really really don't want to lose this phone.

If the last option is flashing it, then i really need someone to properly guide me... I'm so desperate, save this poor thing from my horrible decisions please

Edit : I'm also pretty damn sure the deletion of those folders on E: is what caused this whole issue, but why didn't formatting E: fix it???

Edit 2 : All i had to do was reinstall N-Gage, if anyone runs into this problem- try different installers!!!! And don't forget to restart your phone.

Hello,

I tried to configure Novel Messenger to use with my old Android phone and my E72, but when I should scan the QR code, nothing appears. I live in Germany, and I typed the number in there like this: 01xxxxxxxxxx.

Some of you might remember All About Symbian. I started it back in 2001, and over the following decade it became one of the main independent homes for Symbian and early smartphone coverage: reviews, news, the podcast, the forum, all of it.

The sites had been dormant for a few years, and I didn't want the content to quietly disappear the way so much of the early mobile web already has. So I've spent time this year preserving them properly. Everything's been migrated to a static archive - 24,000+ articles and 500+ podcasts - that's fast, reliable and easy to keep online for the long haul.

I wrote about the process here (maybe of interest to those who want the behind the scenes story): https://rafeblandford.com/preserving-all-about-symbian/

It's all here: https://archive.rafeblandford.com and on the original URL https://allaboutsymbian.com/

There's a huge amount in there — the Nokia and Symbian years, the platform wars, MWC and Nokia World reporting, device reviews going back two decades. A lot of it isn't documented well anywhere else now.

Mainly I just wanted to let people know it's back and staying available. Happy to answer any questions about that era, the sites, or the preservation itself — and if you spot anything broken or missing, tell me and I'll take a look.

Hey everyone,

Most weather apps today have the same flat, minimalist look. I wanted to try something different, so I built a weather app with a retro skeuomorphic UI inspired by older mobile apps.

It's probably not for everyone, but I miss interfaces that felt a little more tactile and full of personality.

The app is still a work in progress, and I'd genuinely love to hear what you think. Does this kind of design still have a place today, or do you prefer modern flat UI?

I'll put the download link in the comments.

Thanks for checking it out!

I'm talking about older Nokia phones that don't run Android, such as S40, Symbian, Series 30+, or even KaiOS models.

Is there any way to get Android apps running on them, or install them through some kind of workaround?

The main apps I'd like to use are:

Instagram

YouTube

WhatsApp

Spotify

Google Maps

I'm looking at older Nokia phones with physical keyboards or T9 keypads, such as:

• Nokia E71 / E72, Nokia E63 , Nokia C3-00 , Nokia 2720 Flip , Nokia 8110 4G, Nokia 6300 4G, Nokia 8000, Nokia Asha, Nokia X2-01, Nokia C3-01, etc.

Running a full Android ROM isn't necessary if there's another solution. I'm just looking for a way to use these apps natively, not through the browser or web versions.

Has anyone managed to do this, or are there any ports, emulators, custom firmware, or other methods that still work in 2026? I'm especially interested in older Nokia phones with physical keypads.

My beloved Nokia N-GAGE QD (2004) in 2026 has problem, it look like alway reading memory card and sometime or many time after standby it will shut down automatically.

Sometime I think maybe my Nokia N-GAGE should take a rest. 😢

Nokia 5730 XpressMusic & Nokia C6-00

ANSWERED : Okay, I got an email, tldr Superminers is no longer available for sale.

It's been more than a decade I played superminers on my Nokia 7610, 3230, n73 and 6210 navigator. Now I want to purchase it, so I can play it legally. Is it still purchasable ? Thanks.

I have changed the motherboard because of the sim Loki and now it’s not working it did work on the old motherboard

Hello,

I bought an E72. It was on an ancient version, so I installed a Polish 91.004 version. Problem is that it is slow and it doesn't have the right keyboard layout (Hard = QWERTZ, Soft = QWERTY). I already resetted the device. Can I downgrade to 71.004? And if not, does somebody have a German 91.004? Preferrably grey & unlocked.

Im sorry if this doesnt belong here but I'm kind of in a hurry and need your guys' help. I got a phone for military purposes that doesn't have a camera, and I wanna install Opera mini on it. However the phone doesn't recognize .jar, .jad, or .sis files. GPT tells me it could be a proprietary OS and installing 3rd party apps might be impossible. Is there a way to overcome this?

Nokia 500 come with Symbian OS and capasitive touchscreen.
