  12. Does restoring all the factory setting will help me in increasing the phone memory because its almost full..??
    Whats actually happens after restoring does the phone software version is restored…???

    Reply
    • Hi, in some situation if you format to factory default and erase all data in memory then the phone memory back to default again without any additional files or applications. Only default system and applications back again. In this case your phone memory will back to empty again, but not physically increasing, the total size still not change. Restoring will reinstall the operating system to factory default like new again (not update)

      Reply
    • Hi, it maybe happen because you have done some wrong setting in that applications, but if that problem happen in almost all Internet applications, maybe wrong at phone Internet connections, but again, we are not sure why only Opera can connect to Internet. First you can try do download other Internet browser to make sure alternative application still can be work or not. You need to consider doing hard reset or master format to make the setting back to default again.

    • Hi, if you already do hard reset, Nokia Asha 305 should work fresh like new again, all installed applications also removed, only factory default applications installed. In the clean factory setting after format, try to save several contact number at phonebook, and then make a phone call like what you did before. If the problem still happen, maybe your phone have hardware problem and need to further check.
