Nokia :: N97 Camera Switches On & Off Continuously
Jun 8, 2010
For no apparent reason ie not connected with anything I've done to the phone, the camera has started turning on & off almost randomly, regardless of whther the slide cover or the lock key are engaged. Sometimes the cycle is a few seconds, sometimes several minutes. The firmware is up to date, and there are no other obvious problems. Help, please!
I cannot seem to convince my camera app to operate. As soon as I touch the icon, it produces a window stating that unfortunately the Camera has stopped. Tried to switch off and on the phone several times, but to no avail. My Nexus 5 runs on 5.1.1.
I have had my lumia 800 phone for a couple months now and it has twice died in the middle of the night for no obvious reason. The battery hasn't been dead - this morning when I finally got it to turn on again afrer several tries of pusging the power button, it had 22% of battery left. First time it was something similar, if not more. Really annoying, since the phone is also my alarm clock!
I use Nokia N72-5 hanset but now it is problem to me to operate with it. It became switched off after turning on. I removed memory card , and turn on but it switched off after 15-16 minutes. i reset its firmware bu dialing *#7370# but it didn't help. It became switched off after 15-16 minutes even withouting pressing any key on keypad.
I recently bought an n86 and I am having persistent connectivity/wifi problems. Currently my biggest problem seems to be that while I can connect to the correct wireless router and bring up a first link on the web browser - whenever I try and link to another page the phone instantly tries to connnect through my phone provider (AT&T) and gives no other options.It is really strange.
Another strange thing is that I have set Internet connectivity priorities with my phone provider being last in the list however I am unable to use the 'change priorities' menu - instead I have to move the access point to one of the other destinations (like WAP Services), then, go to WAP Services and move it back to Internet so that it appears last in the list.Has anyone had similiar experiences?
Detailed log of re-occurin issue:I purchased the nokia 5530 in december 2009.In late march 2010, I added a screen protector to the phone.I also upgraded to the 2.0 firmware.Then in April 2010, phone started to switch of when making a call or answering a receiving call.After googling like crazy, removed the screen protector, reset the phone using the codes from this site. Phone worked for 2 weeks no problems.After the 2 weeks it happened again, I repeated the process and it stopped switching off. The screen protector was never replaced thinking it might be blocking the proximity sensor.In late may I updated to new firmware 3.0. Phone was functioning normal at this time.Now it's june and problem started re occuring since the 10th of june.I am unable to answer or make calls with this phone despite my many attempts using reset and factory reset , removing memory card and switching sim with a new sim card etc.So far, the only way it works is with the headset plugged in, but this is a temporary fix. Once the headset is removed during the call it switches off.Also it also crashes when making skype calls which i also installed in may. I used skype for most of may and june, with no problems.My sister also purchased the same phone at the same time, from the same vendor. She never updated the firmware and also has a screen protector installed. Her phone has no problems whats so ever.
i was downloading update software to my device from nokia pc suite on pc and i cancel it. so it turned off and i tried to switch it on and when i press the switch on button it just keep vibrating until the vibration stops and it doesnt switch on
Had my N85 6 months now and have been very happy with it, until this morning.When I try to make a call, or press "answer" to receive a call, it switches itself off.Same when accessing voicemail.Has anyone else had this problem and if so, if there a solution?
I have recently purchased a new Nokia 6710 Navigator and would like to know why it switches itself off after about 8-10 minutes when the headset is connected with the radio turned on?Everything else is ok.
I was about to play a song on my fone but then when i clicked play, the phone switched off. I then switched the one back on and the start up screen worked fine but then after that it the screen goes white then it fades to black and switches of (kinda pixel like switch off). All it shows is the date at the top left hand side of the screen.
Ijust buy this beautiful headset BH 504. I have try to connect to my computer in he same time with LG HBS-200 my old headset. Computer give me an error and from that time my new nokia headset shows an continuously red light from the headset with the controls like in the picture. I have try to turn off actually I have hold on all buttons more then 8 seconds and also the call button with up volume.
As the title suggests, this started happening from the moment i started using the "Email" feature in my phone. Even though I have successfully removed it (I don't have a fixed data plan), while writing SMS's the "To" field switches to "abc" mode, as opposed by the normal "123" mode. And no matter how much I press the arrow button to change it, the moment I close messages and open it again, it reverts back to "abc" mode.
I have strange problem with nokia 5530.Its just switches off when making/recieving a call.I read nokia discussion of Europe and USA. there are number users who have same problems i have it now.I've gone to nokia care and hope they can give me a perfect solutions.As i have read all the posts about this problem , I am bit worried whether my mobile will be repaired or not.
I bought my nokia 5233 sometime in january it worked fine until april or so, it would switch off automatically.At first I disregarded it thinking that i would have pressed the power button by mistake.Since two days this phenomenon is happening atleast about 7-8 times.I wouldn't like to take my phone to the Nokia care yet coz here in my country the Nokia care guys try to fleece you saying something has gone wrong which is not covered by warranty.Would any of you guys help me in diagnosing the problem so that I can fix it myself before I take it to nokia care?
There is a message icon on top right of screen blinking, it is so irritating. I have tired every single way for removing it but all in vain, i even tried resetting the factory setting i dunt know where it came from, emptying inbox outbox everything but nothing works. Any body knows about dis issue?
I can start Maps for the first time and exit. Then I find the Maps programme is still running but I cannot get back into the program. I use Swiss Manager to try and terminate Maps but it does not terminate. Only solution is to switch off phone and switch on again. Should I delete and reload Maps?
Phone:PR1.2Custom version 014.002.269.03Product code 059C8T6Type RM-596Ovi Maps 3.06_11wk10_b01_tb9.2_comMap version 0.2.42.122I have a newly bought N8. Each time I start Ovi Maps it crashes after around 0.5-5 minutes. No other applications are launched in parallel. I have tried to play switching on and off different positioning methods All the same, it crashes with any combination I have tried. Even if I switch off all the methods except built-in GPS, it crashes. I have restored the factory settings and reinstalled the OS. Before installing some applications, I have tried to start Ovi Maps - it crashes all the same.It crashes in a strange way. It first freezes. Then in around 10 seconds the screen goes dark, then fully white and then the phone restarts. But it does not restart from the very beginning, as it does when you switch the phone off and switch it again (it shakes, then it asks SIM pin, then lock code). Instead, after Ovi Maps crash and the white screen, it shows the white screen with "nokia" on it (no pin codes are asked), then comes the desktop screen, no applications are running at this point yet, it does not react on the touch screen, no connection to the cell network. Then it starts to revive, connects to the GSM network, starts to react on the toch screen, on the button, refreshes the desktop, etc.
Bought a Nokia Asha 200 20 days back (Graphite color).
1) Echo Problem while speaking over phone, both in Sim1 and Sim2 2) White screen and Phone hanging up
The problem is once it gets hanged up, automatically switches off and never starts up again. While it starts up, only the 'NOKIA' boot logo is coming , and the handshake logo is not coming up after it. Took it to a Nokia Care center, near my house but yet after reflashing the OS with V11.56 the same problem started occurring just after a day!
I am getting a message to choose network connection. --> WiFi --> GPRS packet data
Frequently, I have chosen GPRS as the default priority 1 and automatic connection. Even though I am getting the message, tell me how to block the message.
I have a N97 running firmware v.21.0.045 and about a week or so ago I was forced to do the hard reset because the phone became so unstable. I left my E: drive (the mass storage) intact including all of my songs, videos and pictures I had stored.Everything seems to be okay apart from the Music Player which everytime I use it it starts to search for songs and podcasts continuously. I can stop that and it lists all of my music and can play them but the volume control does not work, either from the telephone or the earpiece supplied.I have tried leaving it searching for hours but nothing changes - it just keeps on searching. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this please or does it mean I have to do another reset of the telephone? It all worked before.
I was wondering if anyone can assist with this. I have an N86 running the latest v30.9 firmware. I have set the default connection in Settings > Connections > Destinations to 'Always Ask'. However, I have noticed that my phone is still connecting to the internet (3G connected icon showing on the standby screen) even when no other programs are runing (according to a long 'Menu' press). When I receive a call I get a message on screen advising that the packet data connection is on hold. 'Packet data active' shown on screen when the call ends. The log also shows the internet connection is being made and maintained often for hours on end, e.g. through the night. Although the amount of data being sent and received is relatively small, this is still a concern for the future if I'm ever roaming or on a metered tariff. Any help to resolve this is much appreciated.
I have N-8. There is not any facility there for playing video songs continuously as like mp3 songs, we need to choose next song every time after finishing first. There must be a video player also which can support all type of videos.
Each time I connect my 5233 via datacable and when disconnected then following happens.Current theme takes a while to appear backMessage storage memory goes to c: phone memory and i have to manually change to e:memory cardis there a fix for this, I'm running the latest firmware and using windows 7 ultimate.

Can some1 pls help me out quickly..
I have two issues. I took a picture using Nokia camera app which is on default. Some pics didn't save.
Next is when you take picture. When u go to photo albums. You see a link below saying open in Nokia camera. How come pics have that link and others don't? I took some smartcam pics too look at later and can't open it up and do the action shots and other stuff.
Is there any way to disable that dragging the small camera lens cover turns on/off the camera? if that option doesn't exist (I guess it because I searched for it long wise) is a big fail in N97.
my 6500 slide shows me "Camera on standby" when i try to launch the camera. The message remains on the screen until i press exit and i am unable to use the camera.
I have searched the internet for a solution, tried software updating, resetting to factory settings etc but nothing seems to do the trick.
Is it possible to get the camera to work again without tampering with the hardware (As described here: http://repair-mobiles.com/6500-camera-operation-failed/) ?
