Eseries / Communicators :: Nokia E71 Fading Text On Display
Mar 23, 2011
Within the past 6 days, I've purchased 2 brand new Nokia E71 phones from 2 different Walmart stores, 30 mins of each other. These are phones for the Straight Talk prepaid service. I have not yet activated the phones on ST, as my goal is to first test the basic functionality to determine if it's worth the $200 and will satisfy my needs.
What's happening on both phones, in the same exact manner and location on the phone, is that the menu title name for some menus have fading text. It appears as though there's a display issue. I've attached some screenshots to make it easy to see what I'm experiencing.
However, when I've tested playing the included videos in the phone at full screen, it appears to play the videos through the menu title name area with no fading. The same goes for looking at images - I do not see any fading with the included images in that area.
I have done a Soft Reset on both phones using the *# option and from the "Factory Reset" option in the menu. This has not resolved it on either phone. I have also changed themes, changed menu colors, changed the font size, none of which has resolved this.
Thus far, I've returned one phone to Walmart and ready to return the next one now due to this issue. I'm willing to try a 3rd but that's where my limit is. I really like this phone and want it, but if this issue is indicative of a fully dead or fading display after a short period of use, I will not make the investment.
My phone only display numbers when someone is calling me.Even contacts I have stored in the phone book.Is this a bug or a setting somwhere?Firmware: PR 1.0 - 013.016N8 FW: 022.014 -- Please separate Artist & Albums!N86 8MP FW: 30.009 -- We need a new FW on this phone!E51 FW: 410.34.001E70 FW: 2.0618.07.10
Driving back home today I noticed that whilst my E6 connected to my bluetooth handsfree, it didnt change profile to car but remained on default. Usually it does as I set it in the accessories options. Anyway I heard a new sms arrive and soon after stopped at home and went to check. I tried unlocking the phone both with pressing the d pad and flicking the side slide, but the display remained blank. I tried the power button and again nothing. I eventually resorted to removing the battery and rebooting. Seemed ok.
My 5 months old C7-00's black glossy panel around the display started fading. The color fading/colorless patches are becoming prominently visible nowadays. Can the panel be changed under warranty? I guess the fading is to be a manufacturing defect, as another extensively used 8 months old C7-00 of ours still look new. After using various Nokia phones for the past 11 years, for the first time I see a problem/defect in a Nokia phone.
Every day at 10:30 GMT (without fail) I get a text message from Ovi Nokia App telling about some 'cool app' or other. This is now seriously bugging me - I didn't subscribe to it (my wife uses Ovi Store and doesn't get these messages). I keep thinking I am popular but no, it's just Ovi Nokia App telling what i already know! How do I get rid of it? I have tried to reply and send 'STOP' but it won't let you reply. I can't find anywhere on this site that tells you how to stop it either. I am reaching the point where I now purposely 'lose' my phone at 10:29 GMT and then find it again at 10:31 just to avoid the curse of ovi!
Is there anyway to enable this feature like on the c3, When i get a text it just comes up saying 1 new message, With no name or number with who its from, Is this normall for the E5, Why did they leave this feature out?
I want to read unicode Malayalam text(in email, web site etc) in Nokia E71 mobile. Is there any way to do this? I tried copying unicode font resource/fonts folder(Fonts folder was not there, i created it). But no use.
I have with my Nokia E7. I am not receiving pictures via text message but I can receive text based text messages. I can send pictures and texts though.
I recently purchased a nokia E7. When I first got it it was fine and would send messages to people however now after the 2nd day owning it, it is refusing to send messages to anyone. This is reguardless of network, though I am on the telstra network.
I've got a Nokia E6-00. Sending messages and calling works fine. Receiving messages is a problem. When I ask someone to send me a text message, it doesn't come in either until I reboot my phone or until I open "sim messages". I've removed F-secure, rebooted several times and tried other sim cards from other providers. The problem is always present, regardless of simcard, provider or message length. I have enough memory left on the phone and the sim card.
My mum got the Nokia E72 yesterday, and when she recieves a text message it just says "One message recieved".Now, on all her old Nokia's (6600 Slide the last one), once a text message was recieved, it says "One new message", but also the sender beneath this.Is there a way to get the sender's name on the text message notification screen, like mentioned above?
I have just got E52 and I am wondering: is it possible to turn its display off completely when it is in idle mode? The light is off, but the screensaver (strip with clock) is still running up and down the display... I guess this consumes quite a bit of energy...
My E7 have sometimes an unpleasant feature: during a incoming call, display is darken (stays total black). There's nothing to hit or touch, but phone keeps ringing yet you can't answer to call. This is happening when phone is in screensaving mode. Normally there's time and day in a black display, but when phone starts ringing, display is darken.In a few seconds (maybe ten or so) display returns to normal view and you may answer to call - if one who makes a phone call happens to be still there. I have re-installing the software just yesterday and after that, there have not been that problem so far - but I have receiving only few calls since that software re-installation.
I recently received my E72 and love it! Just a question regarding the display of words in certain screens. Depending on the actual screen displayed , the text seems to fade - which is quite weird. On screens where the icons are displayed and other screens all seems fine. Switching off and rebooting doesn't help - it remains there. Is this normal or is the handset faulty?
on my E63 these would only display when mail was recieved, however on the E72 they remain displaying with a (x) where x is 0 or the number of emails unread.
I just bought a Nokia E6. But immediately after using it for about an hour or so, the display started to flicker on and off. It is continuously doing so and has gotten quite frustrating. I tried to tinker around with all the settings, updated to the latest firmware, but to no avail
I'm nokia e71 user and since i'm learning Korean, i want to be able to read Korean characters instead of question marks. language of my phone is Turkish and i don't want to change it to Korean. I just want to read, that's all. Is there a way i can do it by myself?
My phone has just developed the following problem: about every 5 seconds, the display goes blank (the backlight keeps on, if it was on), but I can see the flashing with backlight off. With the power save mode on, the display flashes quickly.The phone does this continuously. I have already tried removing the battery and also backup and factory reset, with no result.
On my Nokia E63, before updating phone firmware to 501, Hindi language was displayed and speech correctly in dictionary. But after updation hindi is not displayed at all. I have reinstalled language pack many times but not working. What is solution?
I went from the e72 to the e7 and I've noticed that when you're in the physical keyboard and press sym you don't get any regional special characters, like vocals with accents. With that to write in catalan is a pain.
My E7-00 is from the US, is it possible to change the display to Italian or better Chinese? Why can I download a Chinese dictionary but the Chinese characters do not show up when I look up a word to translate from English?
how can I set my E72 to show me also the company of the caller?As I see, I can choose only from Name, Surname or Name Surname or Surname Name.any ideea on how to set to show Name Surname Company of the one how's calling me?
I have just noticed on my E5 that the time is not displayed. I have the phone on Contacts Bar, and on the shortcut keys its Favourites and Planet, and usually next the right side key the time is displayed.I have looked and looked to see where I can this back but cannot find it.
When I try to type in numbers on the Home screen to place a call, the numbers are not displaying in the white block box that pops up. The numbers are inputting but do not display, if I type the correct numbers and press send it will call. However, when it starts ringing I get a "Note: Call Forwarding Active. I do not know if these two problems are related. I don't even know what I did to activate call forwarding. Letters and Numbers will display when pressed in other applications so I do not know what did to screw it up because they displayed before when I typed. This phone is a Straight Talk - E71.
I've bought this phone regardless of those bad things that has been mentioned in those threads, because I want it and it relatively cheap anyway.My E6 is almost bug free, yes almost.
1. After unboxing, I update the firmware to v22.
2. Quickly do "Delete Data and Restore".
3. Installing Remind Me.
4. Done.
I did not experienced the self restart, the disfunctional pick call after screen lock, etc. My battery also lasted more than one day, it is almost 1.5 day now with 2 bar left in heavy usage (wifi, bluetooth, angry birds, fruit ninja, messaging, some calls).So, what bugs left?
1. The keypad lights is turned off when the display brightnes is less than the mid point of the slider.
2. The notification lights in the middle of dpad is still barely visible even when I use the Remind Me, faulty design in my opinion.
3. The mail widget sometimes did not update the mails that displayed, even though the mail client is already showing the new mails. I need to remove then add the widget again to fix it or restart the phone..
My e5 has strange problem with the light sensor. If the 'Light sensor' slider in the settings is set to the minimum or one position above the minimum and I put the phone under bright light (for example outdoors in sunny days), the display goes completely off. If I cover the light sensor with something or put the phone in lower light, it turns on again. I think it's software problem, but not sure. Does anybody else have similar problem or my e5 has some fault?
I was able to select and then copy / cut text from a mobile webpage in internet explorer (like name details etc. when I replied to a person) with the SHIFT button, but it is not working anymore...When I now press the SHIFT button, the īmouseī appears again and I am not able to select the text anymore..
