How to open the back cover of nokia. How to hack Nokia: detailed instructions. Performance and battery life
The screen of my old Nokia phone shattered and I decided to buy another phone. In order not to transfer all contacts manually, and I have a lot of them, as well as to be able to transfer photos and other information from the phone, which cannot be transferred if the screen is broken, I decided to use the Nokia Suite program. In order to use this program, a new phone had to be taken also by Nokia. I bought a Nokia 5230. Of course, I read the reviews first. Many complained that the cover of the phone is poorly removed. I decided that this is not such a big minus. Consider removing the lid. But it turned out not quite so. I have never seen such a stupid system. Absolutely correctly write those who say that this phone is not for frequently changing SIM-cards in the phone. I am sure that the case will quickly fail with regular “opening”, so keep that in mind.
I decided to open it with my nails, even grew them to make it more convenient to cling, but the first time I broke my nails until I understood the principle of “opening” the case, since you won’t press hard to avoid breaking the latches. The easiest way to open the case is if you know the location of the latches on the cover of the phone. There are only five of them:
The first one is located on the side of the phone buttons (let it be the bottom of the phone) and opens quite easily with a fingernail thanks to the existing groove:
as a result of which the housing cover is slightly opened:
There is also a groove on the side of the phone cover, it also helps to open one of the latches:
Next, we run a fingernail along the slightly opened groove along the case from the bottom of the phone upwards, pressing more in the intended locations of the latches. We press inside the slightly opening groove, then the latches open with difficulty (maybe while the new ones are still holding on):
Thus, first one snaps off, then the second:
If you opened the case cover on one side and did not break the latches on the cover, then there are no problems with the second side of the cover - it snaps off quite easily. Done - cover removed:
To replace the SIM card, first (as with all phones) we take out the battery:
Here again, "ambush". Again, you need to pry off the latch on the case, which closes the SIM card. It didn’t stick with my fingernail in any way, and I used a plastic stick that I found at home. I think you can use a toothpick:
To extract the SIM card, you need to use a manual or pencil (you can use a toothpick again):
Like this. Ready.
There is another significant drawback of this phone model for me personally. The fact is that the contact search line is very narrow and I, holding the phone in my left hand and trying to search with my thumb, often miss this line itself. As a result, instead of searching, I often call a subscriber whom, you know, I didn’t want to call. I am a small person and my fingers are small. From this I conclude that it will be quite inconvenient for large people. It may be suitable for miniature women's or children's hands, but for men's hands it is difficult. But this, of course, is my personal opinion, and I don’t want to impose it on anyone, but if you are thinking of buying it, then think about it.
Covers on all Nokia phones open in much the same way - using a special button that holds back the fasteners. Some models also have two buttons on the sides of the device.
You will need
- - screwdriver;
- - knife.
Instruction
Find the dedicated button on the back of your Nokia N70 mobile device. While pressing it, pull cover towards you and open the battery compartment of your phone. If the cover is difficult to remove, push it harder at the base, this happens mostly when the phone is new.
In other models of Nokia devices, there may also be a side mount for the phone cover, in this case, simultaneously press the buttons that hold it on the sides and pry it off, if it does not come off by itself. If you have instructions, look at the process of removing the cover on its first pages, it is mandatory for each phone model.
If you want to remove the top panel from your Nokia N70 mobile phone, use a small Phillips screwdriver and a non-sharp knife. Remove the battery, looking under it for the presence of fasteners. Also, some of them may be invisible under the stickers. Unscrew them with a Phillips screwdriver and try to remove cover, prying it on one side. If you cannot do this without foreign objects, use a flat screwdriver or a non-sharp knife.
Unscrew the phone chip, also unscrew the screws that hold the front panel of the phone. Remove it by detaching the keyboard. Be careful with the speaker and screen mounts, try not to damage their mounts with the device chip.
It is best to write down the step-by-step sequence of removing devices in order to correctly assemble it in the future. Always disassemble the phone, first disconnecting it from the power source, and always remove the battery. Do not use sharp objects or paper cutters to open the case.
note
Do not damage the special service stickers in your device.

Nokia fans loved to lament that the Finnish company was completely at the mercy of Microsoft and stubbornly ignored Android. Everyone agreed that the manufacturer knows how to make beautiful and high-tech smartphones, but Windows Phone stops users from buying Lumia.
The aspirations of Nokia fans and numerous rumors about "spare" The company's plan was confirmed at the Mobile Electronics Show in Barcelona. The Finns have done something they seem to have kept aloof from during the entire period of close cooperation with Microsoft - at MWC they presented X-series smartphones running a heavily redesigned, but still Android.
It is curious that Nokia did not fight for the top segment and did not even dare to enter the middle price range. Finnish Android devices are aimed at users who value every dollar, euro or ruble. Today we'll take a look at Nokia X, the cheapest smartphone based on Google's OS presented by the Finns, and try to find out how it is better or worse than its many Android competitors.
Design
Once again, let's pay tribute to Nokia designers - the company's phones are easily identified among devices from other manufacturers. And Nokia X is no exception. It's easy to mistake the smartphone for another Windows Phone model, especially if you leave the screen off.
The novelty by all appearance makes it clear that we have one of the junior devices of the Lumia series. There are more similarities with the same than with last year's Asha touchscreens. In terms of dimensions, the device is also as close as possible to the younger Nokia WP-smartphone.
Unlike the Lumia 520, the Nokia X has well defined, sharp edges. Thanks to this, the device looks like a small brick. We liked the design and execution of the device. In black, he looks strictly and, despite "cutting" ribs, fits well in the hand due to its small size.
Plastic also leaves a pleasant impression, the matte surface of which resembles the polycarbonate of more expensive models. Respect deserves a high-quality assembly - there is no hint of play or other defect in inexpensive devices, Nokia X not only looks, but also feels like a cast bar.
At first glance, it may seem that the phone is made in a non-separable case. This is wrong. To open the lid, you will have to cunningly cling to the smartphone and gently press your fingers in the upper part from the back. Such a solution is extremely inconvenient and impractical, but it guarantees the solidity of the structure. Of course, frequently change the battery, memory card and "sims", of which two are supported here, you don't want to.
The power and volume buttons are on the right side. They protrude above the surface of the case by about one and a half to two millimeters, they are perfectly groped and pressed. There are no complaints about them.
We liked everything about the appearance and performance of Nokia X. There is a small drawback in the form of an inconveniently opening panel, but this is not so significant against the background of the general positive impression that the device leaves. Really and "inside" will everything be just as good?
Display
Nokia X uses a 4-inch IPS-matrix with a resolution of 480*800 pixels. The screen is inexpensive, the dark areas of the image on it, when the angle of inclination is changed, noticeably give off a purple tint. This, however, is not critical. The brightness of the backlight is enough to ensure that the display remains more or less readable outdoors in bright light. Models with ClearBlack are far away, but do not forget that we are talking about a budget device.
Another sign of savings was the lack of an oleophobic coating. Your phone will need to be cleaned frequently and thoroughly if you want it to look neat. Exactly the same feature, we recall, is inherent in the younger Nokia WP-smartphone - Lumia 520.
The screen of Nokia X is not bad, but nothing more. Among the models running Android, there are many samples with a larger display and higher resolution. Take, for example, or Alcatel One Touch X Pop.
Functionality
The Finnish manufacturer carefully hides any mention of Android 4.1, replacing it with some platform Nokia X 1. The developers have tried to make the interface as much as possible "tiled" and similar to WP. Perhaps they were in too much of a hurry, because everything turned out extremely badly.
The first suspicions arise at a cursory glance at the lock screen. Here you can clearly see an attempt to make Android similar to Windows Phone. In addition to information about active SIM cards, current time, date and battery level, oblong tiles with the latest events (messages about the presence of an update, download completion, missed calls, etc.) are displayed here.
The main screen in Nokia X is only one. Everything that is possible is dumped here in the form of tiles: programs, a phone book, an application store, a gallery, etc. All this must be scrolled down to infinity, or rather, to the end of the list of all downloaded goodness.
Fortunately, shortcuts can be dropped into folders. Also available is the function of changing the background color and size of a particular tile. True, when you try to change at least something in the standard design, the smartphone slows down so that sometimes it’s even difficult to understand what will happen in the next moment - will the icon fit in the folder or, twitching, slip through it?
We make a scrolling movement from right to left and get into the so-called Fastlane screen. Recent user actions are displayed here, whether it is launching a program, making a call, or saving a screenshot. Do not think of Fastlane as a task manager with multitasking support - trying to open a recently closed application will restart it. Nokia X is too weak "iron” to keep open programs in memory.
The smartphone does not have many of the usual services from Google. The Finns did their best to replace them with third-party ones like their own app store. In terms of content, the catalog is very, very far from Google Play. But you can use Nokia partner stores, for example "Yandex". By the way, after the very first downloads of completely harmless programs, some malicious software settled on our copy of the device, disguised as an official store and calling for immediate download of some nonsense.
It is not known what the developers were guided by, leaving Nokia X with one control key - a button "Back" below the screen. This did not make the Finnish smartphone look like an iPhone, but users of Android devices who are accustomed to three or even four touch buttons will at least be discouraged by this approach.
Most of all, in the Nokia X software shell, it’s not the wild interface, not the terrible abbreviations of Russian-language inscriptions, but the terrible slowdowns that irritate. It happens that you scroll through the screen, but it does not respond, and only after a couple of seconds it starts to reluctantly crawl in the right direction. The year is 2014, but Nokia X seems to return to the distant past, when smartphones were not so much smart as slow.
A third-party shell that turns Nokia X into a more or less normal Android smartphone
If you managed to buy this device, it's better to immediately install a third-party shell (it's much faster!), And replenish the supply of applications by installing .apk files yourself. Also don't forget to turn off the tapping wake-up feature - it works completely random anyway. Once Nokia X was in a bag, somehow managed to unlock it, start the game and in a couple of hours "eat" battery.
Camera
The smartphone is equipped with a 3-megapixel camera without autofocus. Another hello from the past when a sign "cool" phone was the very fact of having at least some kind of photomodule.
Sometimes, in pictures taken with Nokia X, you can even see quite small details (like windows in a high-rise building). But in general, the photos do not stand up to criticism. For a long time we have not seen a smartphone, even a budget one, shoot like that.
Performance and battery life
And here Nokia demonstrates respectable consistency. The hardware component of the device is outdated the year before last. The model is based on a Qualcomm MSM8225 dual-core chip, which was released in early 2012.
Fitting an Android device with just 512MB of RAM takes a lot of guts, which Nokia seems to have in abundance. The amount of built-in memory is 4 GB. It's good that there is a microSD slot.
Running a Full HD video is out of the question. However, for a display with such a resolution, this is an extra luxury. HD movies slow down from time to time, but generally remain watchable. We have already mentioned that the smartphone shamelessly slows down in "native" menu. Run on Nokia X "heavy" the game is not worth trying, he can only do something like Angry Birds.
The device is equipped with a 1500 mAh battery. A full charge is enough for a day of moderate activity. In our standard test with the wireless modules turned off and the brightness set to maximum, the device lasted less than three hours when playing HD video - a low result even against the background of cheaper competitors.
conclusions
Nokia X is a prime example of when the form does not match the content, just like in the case of Dr. Frankenstein's monster. But in the Finnish device, the appearance turned out to be more than worthy, and the inside turned out to be obscenely ugly.
During testing of the device, we got the impression that with this model the manufacturer wants to instill an aversion to Android to those users who first got acquainted with this OS on the unsuccessful example of Nokia X. Who knows, suddenly after that they will switch to Windows Phone.
Separately, it is worth mentioning the price. If Nokia X cost less than $100, all its shortcomings could be ignored. However, we sell the phone at twice the price. For the same $200, the device has a lot of competitors from Huawei, Alcatel, Lenovo, ZTE, Fly and many other Chinese manufacturers. However, they do not need "finish" by installing Google services and changing "buggy" shell. The novelty from Nokia can only count on the ardent love of the most devoted fans and on the interest of individual geeks who will be curious to try to turn a non-smartphone into something similar to an Android model.
Very often, owners of smartphones from the Nokia Lumiya line are perplexed if they are faced with the task of opening the phone and replacing the SIM card or inserting a memory card. At first glance, these gadgets seem monolithic and so impregnable. However, if you approach it wisely, then you can easily remove the cover from the Nokia Lumiya.
Turn off your phone before removing the cover. It is also necessary to disconnect the charger and headset from it. It is recommended to stick a protective film on the touch screen, otherwise you may easily scratch it. Hold the Nokia in your hand with the front side facing you. You can start! The first way to open Novia Lumiya is as follows. Press on the upper right corner of the smartphone, as a result of the manipulation, a small gap will appear between the back panel and the screen. It is in it that the nail of the thumb should be placed. Gently press to release the top tabs and fold back the panel. Then you need to go to the upper left corner - unpin it too. So you separate the main part of the smartphone body from the cover. After that, it remains to gently lift the main part of the case and remove the back panel.
Remember that when opening Nokia Lumiya, you can not use sharp objects - toothpicks, blades, pencils, pens, nail files, screwdrivers and knives. You may damage the touch glass. You cannot use the device with the back panel removed.
