I was given a case for my n900 as a gift. I found that every time I put the n900 into the case, it would wake up. I would put it to sleep with the spring loaded switch on the side, but no matter how gingerly I put it into the case it would keep waking up. It then occurred to me to put it into the case backwards, where upon it did not wake up.
The case basically has a felt type liner and a flap which is held closed with magnets in the flap and the front of the case. I have confirmed that both pieces are magnetized. I further discovered that if I run the front face of the n900 against either the flap or the front face of the case, the n900 will wake up.
Simply touching the face of the n900 to a magnet is not sufficient, it must be rubbed or passed in close proximity to the magnet, which I presume is then inducing a current some place that causes the n900 to wake up.I don't know if it is any more of a problem than to tell the case manufacturers not to use magnets, or at least not use them where they can be in close proximity to the face of the n900. So I am passing this along as a heads up when looking into getting a case, and where hopefully someone with more technical knowledge of the inner workings of the n900 might be able to elaborate on this.
i have N97 mini. In Administrative Settings, there are three things that i am unable to find any reference on the internet.What is XDM profile, presence and net settings how and where they are used.
I purchased a Nokia Lumia 920 white in SHARJAH on 16th December with a lot of excitement. But on 25th night the phone went dead & was not responding without a reason. I initially thought maybe its the battery drain. But that was not the case. I put it to charging the whole night & lo in the morning the phone wont switch on at all. I had a chat with the Nokia UAE hotline chat with a gentleman & online chat with a lady & all I got was a solace & conform rather than a sense of urgency to fix the problem.
I also did a little research here & on Microsoft Windows phone support for Middle East, looks like I am not the only one with this issue. There are quite a few such cases. Its quite disappointing that as a consumer I spend 2500 bucks for a defective piece of instrument & all I get to hear is that, we will look into this felt like quite dumb in fact.Since I had purchased it from a reputed (???) retailer, I went over this morning & returned back the instrument. I was told it may take more than two weeks to look at the problem & fix it & until then I am left high & dry.
So the next time you buy a NOKIA product, my advise is to be check the history on the manufacturers website for any grievances with the product by any customers before you get one especially if you are paying 2500 bucks. I am now aiting with my fingers crosses for my device to be sent to the nokia care by the retailer & returned back to me after a fix(hope it is a good fix !!!!!!). Until then I have to keep praying & hope for the best.
now I know why they take out the slider on N97 mini. It's a megnetic switch under the slider.that means, you can not use megnetic leather case as it will activate the camera even when it's locked.I must have my leather megnetic case.
provide the ability to create a trigger based upon the presence of a secure network SSID (i.e. not one you are connected connected to )? I need to trigger an action when a secure network, for which I do not have the password, is detected.
i realy your help in this one, now i live in Lebanon, and i'm searching for a n900, but the other day my freind told that you can't check for your balance in your phone operartor, is that true, were i live, you need to recharge your phone in before you make phone calls, send messages etc, and to see how much dollars(or what ever its called) you still have in what you have recharged, you need to press *11# and than the green button, and than a message shows up showing you your phone operator balance, is it true that that can't be done on the n900? i like it how i can overclock the n900 from 600 mhz to 1000 mhz in less than 30 sec.
I have recently purchased an iPhone 4s and a lifeproof case. I'm trying to attempt a mounting idea for in my truck. I've decided to glue a piece of metal onto the back of my phone, and attach a speaker magnet behind my dash. It holds rather well, but I've read much about people saying the magnet can damage the screen. If it's behind my dash, opposite of the front, does it still do any damage?
the quick version is my home button rarely does anything any more and the screen wakes up by itself from being asleep after anywhere from 3 seconds to 12 seconds.Non-rooted Galaxy S6, by the way. I did a factory reset last week, just because things were getting sluggish. It went well, things were back to speed, and I reinstalled the essentials I wanted. Last night I noticed my phone kept waking itself up over and over again. Then I noticed the home button wasn't doing anything. I rebooted it and it didn't change a thing. After a little more time, the power button also stopped responding. I couldn't even do an emergency reboot with those two buttons disabled. I even tried sticking it in the freezer for a few minutes to see if it was too hot. Google told me about the on screen menu thing to emulate the softkeys so I was able to use that to get around and do reboots.
I hadn't installed any new apps in the last 24 hours, but what the heck, I did another factory reset. I had the option to restore all the apps and settings from 1 day ago, so I chose that. The problem still was there. Dang it, I thought I should not have restored those apps, so I did another reset, this time a totally clean one. The problem not only still happened after the reset, it was doing it during the reset, if the screen went to sleep during a step in the factory reset, the glitch would wake it back up in a few seconds.
I decided last night to just turn it off and charge it fully and hit the Sprint store in the morning. Oddly while charging with the phone powered off, the green battery display would go off and on the whole time it charged.
In the morning I turned the phone on....and NO problems. (of course) For 2 hours not one glitch. So just before leaving for work it starts happening again. Another factory reset at work and a system update from Samsung and still, the problems are there.
Blackberry makes beautifully strong and functional leather holsters until recently. My old holster is finally giving in after 5 years and I can't find a replacement.The new holsters advertised for the Torch - DO NOT WORK!!!! The magnet is in the wrong place. Sure, it sleeps the phone on the way in but when the phone is fully inserted into the holster, the phones lights back up. It passes the magnet on the way down and then thinks it has been pulled out and lights back up.
First I'm not all that sure I'm in the right place for this post. My apologies if it's not! The phone is a Samsung SGH-A257 aka Magnet. My question is there any way to get into the phone if you've forgotten the phone lock number? Do you have to reset the entire phone? If so, how is that done? I'm researching this for a friend so please forgive my ignorance.
I am having an issue where I have headphones or an external line to an amp plugged into my phone, I start Google play music, and the sound is just fine, but if I wake my phone the sound and volume increases quite a bit almost like boom sound kicking in even though it's always on?
I just picked up a new Torch today. I've have a Bold 9000 for a long time and am used to dropping it into my belt case or pouch and having it turn off and go into in-holster mode. When I put the Torch in my 9000 cases it doesn't seem to do anything. Did RIM remove the magnet sensor and no longer have an in-holster mode? Or is the sensor in a different place and it won't work with my Bold cases? Am I missing something? I don't like having to click the lock button on the top before dropping into the case.
So, I have a 3GS that I bought a year ago and just loaded iOS4 when it came out. Two issues are: Phone randomly wakes up when iPod is on when I'm listening to music. It happens when it changes songs. It doesn't do it with every song but every now and then, I'll notice the lock screen light up and it shows the current song playing and everything. I thought it was because someone was trying to call me or I was getting a message but there's nothing there.
Also Yahoo! mail is having mail pushed to the phone when I have all settings for push off within the e-mail settings. Anyone have any issues like this? I really don't want to but should I just restore the phone again?
For those using Handcent for texting - I found a way to keep your LED working after you receive a message.
Since we know that the LED stops as soon as the screen wakes, we need to keep the screen asleep! I love the popup feature of Handcent and am not willing to give that up. But in settings, notification settings, there is a popup setting. In there you can leave the popups enabled but DISABLE wake screen. Just had two messages sent to my phone. Got the sound, then the blinking LED and it remained blinking until I woke the phone up. And the popup is sitting there waiting.
I don't want to start using alternative messaging apps becuase I shouldn't have to. As a consumer and user of the phone, I should be able to use the stock messages app if I want too.
What I am asking today is this - Does Samsung will include facility to DISABLE the SCREEN WAKE ON FEATURE in the Lollipop update? After all, it really seems to be a complete NO BRAINER to include an option to disable this feature.
I noticed that when my phone was sitting still the screen would randomly turn on, not just to the ambident display screen but to the lockscreen. I realized it was happening anytime the phone lost its data connection and had to reconnect. I can replicate it by turning airplane mode on then off and immediately turning the screen off with the power button. After about 5 seconds, the screen turns on again on its own. I've tried disabling ambient display, daydream, tasker, and bluetooth, but it still happens. I have unlocked the bootloader and changed the dpi but everything else is stock, no root.
When i'm on a call, with the phone to my ear, the screen wakes up and FaceTime/Speakerphone suddenly turn on. Anyone else getting this? And I had the 3G before so i'm not 'holding it wrong' or anything..
So i have a 2 month old sony z3 and the power button suddenly became unresponsive, today. Everything else is working fine on the device.  The screen begins to dim and then sleeps but instantly wakes up. So basically the device screen is on all the time now. I think I've tried everything i could.
I am on version 1.2009.44 but version 2.2009.51 is available on my N900.I go to download and it says I need to download through the nokia software updater on my PC.So I connect it to my PC suite and run software updater and it cant find anything it says I am all upto date.But I am not.any help?
Just purchased an N900. I've also got a Skype account all set up and enabled on the N900. I'd really like to know if there is a way that the low rez camera that would normally be used for video calls, can also be used as a webcam when I'm Skyping to my friends? Honestly I don't even know how to use...or even discovered all the functions of this awesome smart phone. So...for the time being, here are my 3 inquiries: 1. How to invoke the low rez cam to function as a webcam when Skyping (if it can be done) 2. How do I bring up the "virtual" keypad? 3. How do I get to the built in Users Manual, that resides somewhere in the belly of this beast?
I have a Nokia N95 and it's been great. But it looks like I've been useing it for target practice so I was planning on buying the N97 or N900? But I heard Nokia has had problems withe the lennex operating system. I was told to hold off that Nokia has a totally new phone that will be introduced mid summer 2010 with a new operating system that will put Nokia back on top over iphone ect ect.
I must buy a new phone and I wanted to take a N900, but after I read this topic with all the problems, I am affraid that N900 is too buggy for me. I need a phone with a good battery (I am traveling a lot of time), I need connectivity, but also multimedia (video and music), but must of all I need a very good organizer. I can not afford a phone with so much problems and I don't have time to debug it!
So, I have to choose from these models: N900, N97, N97 mini, E72, BB 9700 Bold and IP 3GS. I know that you are not fans of BB and IP, but because I am a lot in the airplane, I need the multimedia and entertainment from 3GS and the office from BB.
i just bought an n900 and waiting for it to be delivered, it's second hand and i gather that some n900s don't accept all 3 sims but there was an update for it so now it does, is that right? if mine isn't accepted how do i update it given that it doesn't work with ovi or pc suite?
CPW is offering clearance nokia n900's on their webpage for £265.00. ie: 14 day returned handsets. Anyone bought one this way and happy with the condition of it. Im really tempted. I know their are alot of threads/posts on the pro's and con's of this fone/tablet. My question is if you could do a rewind would you still buy this handset ?
I just got an n900 and very disappointed .I can't download music to it via the PC suite I have downloaded some small apps and themes to my PC that I can't install through the application installer- it says that there is no memory left to install a tiny app when i have 20+GB available
Im used to my N95 doing it no problemthe whole phone seems unfinished - a half assed job and im reading posts from people with the same issues saying "nokia is going to bring out a PC suite for the n900 that will work" and "OVI will be working soon" that date back to February
I also fully charged it overnight its been on for 4 hours and the battery is nearly flat and I have only plugged in the mini USB thingo 3 times and the input socket is really loose.No EQ on the music player?? and no ability to edit the track names/artists in the menu.The N95 not only had EQ but stereo widening and other cool features - What a step down.i can't believe it - it almost 100% useless
I have all my contacts in Nokia x6. I also did sync with OVI site. I would like to get the contacts either from the x6 or from OVI site into my phone N900. How can I get them? I did use phone switch application from N95 to x6. Don't know how to do for N900.
