Nokia :: E72 - During Calls Unable To Use Optical Key For Accessing The Menu
Jul 11, 2010
I've noticed that during the calls I'm unable to use the optical key for accessing the menu. My e72 uses the latest firmware. Does some one know something about this problem?
when accessing the applications menu the touch screen will freeze for almost 5 Sec, then it will respond again, but if exit to phone home screen then i access the application menu the problem starts again freezing for 5 Sec.
After having used the E72-1 (Made in Finland) for almost three weeks, I have the following observations. First I must note that though the list of positive points is shorter than the list of negative points, this should not scare one away from the E72! Positive experiences are more difficult to note than negative ones are. I am very happy with the E72, and most certainly don't regret it! Some people recommended to get the E71 (I expected the E72 to be available only in mid-January and at a much higher price, until I was suddenly informed it would be available in December already), but I didn't do so, primarily because of the following: HSUPA, 3.5mm audio connection, 5 MP camera. These are really significant improvements over the E71!
POSITIVE
* Battery life is quite decent. Since I do tend to charge it both at home and at the office by default, I haven't really tested it extensively, except for one day: I used it very intensively during some 5 hours on a hiking trip in the forest. I took 70 pictures, made 4 videos totaling some 10 minute, sent 5 pictures through Gmail, had a 15-minute phone call, 10-minute Nimbuzz call, some 2 hours on GPS (Google Earth) with tens of position fixes, and some time chatting on Nimbuzz. After that, it was almost empty. I wouldn't expect anything else after such use. (Since I had my laptop with me as well with some 12 hours of power, I could have charged via USB sleep-and-charge from my laptop, if needed).
* I like the optical pad. I only use laptops (as opposed to desktop computers); it's similar to a laptop touchpad, which I use all day. If you use laptops a lot, you'll love this.
* Camera is excellent. Both video and pictures.
* Email client works fine. Both Exchange and Gmail work fine, without any problems. For Exchange, I get new mails on my phone, through 3G, even before I get them on my laptop (Outlook 2007), through company LAN!
* GPS is excellent. Works great with Google Maps.Gets GPS fix in seconds.
* Bluetooth to laptop works fine (heard some things about problems with Bluetooth, though one source said this is specifically regarding earpieces, which I don't use).
* Signal strength is quite good. Switches from EDGE to 3.5G *and back* without problems.
NEGATIVE
* I had the spacebar-not-working issue just once. Rebooting fixed it.
* When you connect the phone through USB, sometimes it will start charging, sometimes not. (No relation to USB port, nor to battery status). Sometimes you just have to plug it in three times before it will charge through USB.
* Built-in chat client is more or less useless.
* GPS trip distance barely seems to work; first it registered me as having had a 26 km/h max speed while walking (not running!), then after walking for an hour it told me I had walked 350 meters.
* Sometimes, there is no sound in both Nimbuzz and Fring on calls via Skype and Google Talk. Often, the other party can hear me, but I cannot hear them (sometimes, neither side heard anything). Since this happens both with Fring and with Nimbuzz, it must be something in the phone.
* The spacebar is small. It is manageable, but small. Takes some time to get used to.
* On my (Israeli) edition, Hebrew (and ciphers) are in white, and English is in dark orange, which is almost unreadable. This is very annoying, since I, as - I imagine - most users of a phone like this, use English more than Hebrew. If anything annoys me, this is it. After a while of course, I don't need to look at the keys any more - but it's still annoying.
* The battery cover comes off easily, but *only* if you want it to. It will never fall off during normal use - only if you're actively and consciously touching the battery cover. I cannot imagine walking on the street, calling, and the battery cover suddenly falling on the sidewalk (which is the impression you get from some comments I read).
* I want to have flash off by default on the camera. Haven't yet found a way to do that.
If anyone has more questions, feel free to ask! Also, if you want to see 70 pictures and 4 videos shot with my E72, let me know and I'll send you the link to download them (219 MB).
Given that if you go anywhere near it, it jumps towards the start of the track. However, if you disable it, then you can't focus the camera. Any workarounds?And while we're on the topic of the Music Player, I find it pretty bad that you can't exit out of the application and then have it pick up playing where you left off. I don't mean let it keep going in the background - I mean actually leave the Music Player. This seems like pretty basic functionality. Makes listening to podcasts on the phone very tedious. Am I missing something? Is there a way to pick up where you left off?
So basically I went away for 4 weeks, came back, switched on my phone and now BOOM it won't call anyone, it won't use 3G or anything or even make texts.
Here's some useful information:
- I'm picking up signal, and can receive texts etc.
- when I try and call someone, it says 'you cannot make outgoing calls while call barring is on' (even though I've checked in settings and it isn't).
- I'm on o2 in the UK
- I've checked my status, and it says 'Mobile Network State' is 'Disconnected'.
- It's running 2.3.3
- I've got the Network Mode on Auto (as it always was when the phone actually worked), and also I haven't been playing around with the APNs or anything like that.
- I bought the phone legit from Carphone warehouse a few months ago, and it worked mostly fine up until I switched it back on yesterday. I'd had a few problems with non-wifi internet before I left last month, but nothing affecting making calls etc.
I'm unable to access contacts menu from menu>contacts or from button which i had assignet contacts menu. When i select contacts it only only the menu name "contacts" appears on top for 1 second and is returning to initial menu.
I just buy asha 202 ... I was using mail function to access my gmail but after using 1st day it gets disappear from main menu and when i switchd off and restart the phone its get appear and after using phone for 1 minute it gets disappearkindly assist me i m very disappointd with dis type of errors in new phone of nokia
i have a new nokia x3, around 2 months old, after restarting the phone one time, the main button (the menu button) works for locking/unlocking and even makes the keytone sound when you press it, but i cant open up the menu, its really annoying because without the menu i cannot access the phone! i can still make calls/text messages, but i really want to fix this.
I switched to 3G pack yesterday and I am not able to make calls.when I choose "highest speed as E" I am able to make voice calls but when I switch to "highest speed as 3G" I can't make voice calls.
I have bought BB Curve 9300 last week. The optical trackpad moves by its own. I also noticed that in the day this problem doesnt occur. but in the evening or in the low light it happens very frequently.
this has happened since I had the phone, but due to annoying shift patterns we couldnt take the phone back to be exchanged. The phone has just been repaired for a broken screen (glass, not LCD) and the software updated, so I had high hopes that this would be fixed, but it still wont receive calls & texts unless on charge.
When I receive a call my screen automatically locks and darkens. Sliding the key lock switch to unlock the phone doesn't work. Not having access to the screen is a problem for two reasons: 1. I don't know who is calling me (as the screen is dark) 2. I cannot use any of the phones functions (i.e. speaker, conference calls, hold, etc.) This all started when I upgraded to Software Version 022.014 with Software Version Date 2011-07-05. Both points above were working before this update.
yesterday my colleague brought blackberry 8520, i was exited about optical trackpad. but i am shocked that sensitivity is very bad even after the make it to highest one. i am planning to buy bb9700 in near future. does BB9700 even have same useless trackpad.
Just bought one 9900 BB,but the new optical trackback not always work,most of time it stopped working;sometime it returned to normal,but after a restart or sometime,it lost functionality;It was a nightmare to me to use 9900 for this defective.
I just picked up my E72 phone and I was wondering if there was a quick way to access notifications that come at the bottom of the screen when a new SMS has come in or there has been a missed call. Its really irritating to get an SMS, then when I unlock the phone and scroll using the opti-pad to the tab with new SMS it keeps going passed it. So maybe there is a way around this? Like a shortcut key?
I recently purchased Nokia X3 phone, it contains preloaded Gmail & Yahoo Mail applications, but when I tried to install application from Gmail website for mobile & Ebuddy software I'm not able to access application even tried from Nokia Installation software but it still not working,
1. I can't disconnect calls. I generally happens when I'm on back to back calls. The phone becomes unresponsive for about 10~15 seconds before you could do anything with it.
2. When I'm listening to music and someone calls me, I hear a sharp noise when phone call overlaps music. Once I disconnect the call, the volume in the headsets remains fixed, you can't reduce or increase the volume. The solution here is to remove the headset from phone and plug them back in. If that doesn't work then re-start the phone!
Even if I select "high" sensitivity for optical navi key, it is too slow for me. I can only move 2 icons once a time. I think it is too slow compared to "blackberry"s trackpad. I have to touch too many times for moving long distances especially browsing web. It's sensitivity should be increased or there should be more sensitivity levels. The difference between 3 sensitivity levels does not differ so much.
Maybe my optical navi key is malfunctioned? Can you comment your experiences with optical navi key?
I recently purchased a BlackBerry Bold 9780. When I go to the Application Administration I do see that BlackBerry Maps is installed. It also gives the version. But I am not able to see it anywhere in the Menu or even in the search.
Is this something to do with the service provider? I admit I do not yet have a data plan, but I believe it should not need a data plan as it has GPS in-built.
I have purchased your Xperia Mini last week but I am unable to find the Android Market menu / access to this. where can i find this or where can I install this from
I have the Arix 4G running Gingerbread 2.3.4 on AT&T. However, I cannot access the "Settings" menu option on the phone. It is not listed in the "All Apps" list and when on the home screen, pressing the menu button then "Settings" does absolutely nothing. I've factory reset the phone, twice externally.
I can't get any more phone details as the menu is inacessible. how else I can get the settings menu functionality back?
