Samsung E530

I purchased this secondhand mobile from the internet locked to O2 on putting in a new O2 sim and registering I discovered that the speed dial in the phonebook was 'greyed out' and unworkable. When I clicked on applications I noted under position #O2 locations 2 to 9 were taken up by topup credit, trafficline, uk directory. etc is this the condition of O2 provider or can I rectify it? Any help greatly appreciated

Take a look in the menu sub directories as this is where you should find the place to choose your own speed dial options.

Look at the security to ensure the securrity is not set to protect the fone memory.

Command the fone back to factory reset.

If all else fails and it continues to be a niggle then have the handset flashed to clear it, although this will remove any downloaded 3rd party data.

Flashing a Mobile fone

is a process wherein a mobile phone's firmware (or program inside your phone's memory) is updated or re-programmed. Like computers, some mobile phones which are sold have some minor software glitches. Things like your phone restarting, hanging, no signal, etc, are signs that there are problems with your phone's firmware.

To resolve this issues, mobile phone manufacturers usually come up with software updates for mobile phones and the process wherein these updates are incorporated into your mobile phone is referred to as "flashing".

Flashing does not unlock your phone or remove operator restrictions. Unlocking your mobile phone is a completely different process but some unlocking procedures usually involve flashing a phone's firmware so many people have the misconception that flashing your mobile phone will unlock it.

Flashing your mobile phone is pretty straightforward. If you follow the instructions well, you won't encounter problems. There are some people, however, who are not comfortable flashing their mobile phones since they're afraid that they would "brick" their mobile phone (a bricked mobile phone is when your phone does not power up anymore) so they let professionals or service centers handle it.
