the fone's CPU is "underclocked" to 190mhz or something, for the simple reason that that speed alone is more than enough for this mobile. have you experienced crashing, lags, or anything else in this mobile? i havent. the only time when it lags down a bit is when i send multiple group messages but that would not be with the processor speed but with the signal and my provider.

other than that, the CPU speed naturally adjusts itself depending on what the application needs. the speed could go up or down depending on the number of apps you have running. i myself multitask with music player, messaging, wifi, and operamini 10 most of the time and it never even crashes.

this is one of the best affordable fones in them arket and as far as i know, only the e52 can stand toe to toe with this mobile. all other handsets cant compare to it's potential in this price range.

Dear Anik,

Actually Divx player is only for AVI and Divx files... Not for regular files which real player can play.

So try copying an avi file (which is very common these days) or divx file to your phone memory and then divx player will automatically loads it and play it for you.

Please go through some searches before you decide anything...! Don't be lazy pal...

If you still don't know what avi files and what divx files are... Ooh my god... I don't know how to help you because even 6 year old children know what are those...!

Good luck...

Hi All..
I used 5630 since a 2 month ago.. 1 month ago, my 5630 war error, it suddenly hang and cant be turned anymore. Then i bring it to nokia care center, and they fix it. But recently, my 5630 often restart by itself. This happen more than once a day. Anyone know what the reason? Is it caused by a virus? And can i fix it by myself?
Thanx. Sorry for my bad english.

Dear Jay,

I'm really sorry for your situation. Not it's very clear that it's a problem with poor programming in Nokia's OS.

Personally I'm also having some problems with Nokia's symbian OS and I see no changes have taken place for a long time.

Classic example is,
When I compare my phone with Nokia's E65 which is quite old symbian phone, I actually see the same features (same sms interface, same settings etc...) It's true that Nokia has done some nice eye catching improvements to this phone though for a 3 years of long time personally I really don't think it's sufficient for a field like mobile industry which is rapidly changing every minute.

So... This call is for Nokia...
Just listen to us... Understand our needs... Then reprogram your software in a more user friendly manner...

You have great hardware... Why lazy on software programming...?

I think you agree with me... Don't you jay...?

(I made several complaints to Nokia "contact us" regarding firmware better improvements... I think everybody who has these sort of problems should directly complain Nokia so that they'll try to do something on their next firmware update.. At least we can hope that way.)

Good luck brother...

Dear Lamvn,

Actually I updated the firmware just after few hours I've bought it... So I personally don't know what are the improvements taken place.

But I did a small search in internet and found out that it has solved some music player hang problems and some other minor bugs.

If you want more details why don't you just google the problem...?

Good luck brother..

......?, 10 Dec 2009is the 5630 speakers good?
Dear ......?,

No... Sorry... Speakers are not good at all.
But reasonably OK for a very thin symbian phone...
This thin beauty is fully packed with lots of stuff so there's no room for a good speaker... I guess...

However, Who cares about the speaker... Actually even the Nokia original headset also not good...

Buy another good quality headset (Eg: Creative) then you'll feel the difference...

Nokia is very good in Audio Chips... But not in Speakers or headsets... Too bad... Right?

The reason I asked such a question is there are different ideas about it. Many people checked its CPU speed with different software. Most of them showed that CPU of 5630 is 192MHz or even lower!
I myself bought it 1 yesterday and I am going to upgrade the latest firmware, I want to know the improvement or changes with this firmware?
What improvements or changes does it come up?

anik, 09 Dec 2009from where i will find its new update firmware
Dear anik,

Actually for firmware updates you only have to install "Nokia software updater" in your computer and then connect your phone to the PC using the data cable.

Not to say your computer must have an internet connection.

For more details about updating procedure you will find another reply of mine in this same site under 5630 comments.

Please don't go to 3rd party software updating procedures. It'll damage your phone and noone knows...

Go directly to Nokia website and download "Nokia Software updater" and that is the safest and guaranteed way of updating your phone...

Good luck brother...

lamvn, 09 Dec 2009To Numan: What's CPU speed after upgrade to latest firmware?
Dear Lamvn,

Actually I did not get what you meant... Because I don't know how the processor speed will be changed by a firmware... It's like when we have Dual core 2.4 machine, in windows XP it'll show 2.4 dual core and windows Vista as well it'sll show the same..

So why did you ask something like that...?
Even if you change your firmware, unless you don't do anything to hardware (which is quite impossible...) the processor speed would be the same. (600 MHz)

However for the record I have to tell you that there are so many arguments going on whether this phone has such a fast processor because it's so unlikely. Even very expensive N series phones don't have such a fast processor and this has. I saw there were comments that Nokia has made a mistake when mentioning phone's hardware.

But there were other forum which states "this phone really has 600 MHz processor" and those statement were based upon their benchmark tests with certain benchmarking software.

Though I have not tried any benchmarking software yet by myself, I personally do believe that this has 600 MHz processor because menu speeds and application launching speeds are excellent. (I've used N73 and E65 both having symbian OS with about 400 MHz processors and 5630 is really really fast than them.)

But one more thing. Processor is not the major fact for faster menu speeds. The major reason for that is efficient menu programming. That means nokia has come up with effective firmware this time and it suits well with this processor too.

As for your firmware problem... Based on above statement you can hope even faster responses in menus and so on from an update, as the firmware update is always supposed to be efficient and better than the previous one. (I mean supposed to be...)

Hope this helps...

Dear rafay,

I had the same problem just like you mention on my nokia 6670. It display several multicolor lines before complete blank.
I had to replace the screen module to repair it which i didn't do because the screen module is more expensive than the phone price itself :( (it's not original, can't imagine how much the original nokia screen module is...)
