Solution for Conflicting Apps error with
Nokia Browser in S40 phones
Some users are experiencing issues when
they updated the Nokia (Express) Browser
on their Asha or other s40 based phones.
The problem occurs because the update
doesn’t go up successfully. In most cases,
some of the files from the older version
remain there which causes the updated
version to show a ‘Conflicting Applications‘
error which makes it impossible to open
and browse using the default Nokia
Browser. The issue did reach the Nokia Devs
but because a very small number of users
are experiencing this, the resolution was
withheld except for some very new devices.
Solution to the Conflicting Apps error:
If you’re also experiencing this error, you’d
have noticed that even a full factory reset
doesn’t solves the problem. So, follow the
steps below to get rid of the error. It has
worked for many but it still isn’t sure that it
will definitely work for you. You can try
though:
1. Firstly backup the important data
present on your phone using the
Backup Utility (in settings) or backup on
your PC using Nokia Suite. If you don’t
backup, you will lose all your data such
as Text Messages, Contacts, Calendar;
etc.
2. Now you need to reset your phone to
factory settings. You need to choose
Full Restore. Please note again that this
will wipe all your data present in Phone
Memory, so do backup before you start.
You can first try by skipping this step
as it might work out without the need
for a factory reset.
3. Install Opera Mini browser (if Opera
Doesn’t work, use UC Browser) on your
phone. You can either install it using
the Nokia Store utility present on your
phone. Or otherwise, install it using
Nokia Suite on your PC.
4. Open Opera Mini on your phone and
browse to following link: http://
download.browser.ovi.com/
5. You’ll be able to re-download Nokia
Browser from that page and your
problem will be solved once it installs
properly.
6. That’s all. Enjoy super-fast browsing on
your Nokia phone again.
