Nokia :: N97 - Everything Work Correctly After SIM Replacement
May 25, 2010
I recently had my handset replaced, and had one or two connection problems, checked all my settings etc. (which I know inside out) and couldn't get everything to work correctly, internet very hit and miss, and text messages a bit 'laggy'. Called Vodafone (but assume any SIM could create the same problems) and after a chat and receiving obvious advice and solutions I'd tried, the VF advisor asked how long I'd had my SIM, and it turned out it was about 5/6 years old!
I just received a new replacement SIM, and had configuration settings sent by text and removed all my old destinations, and the whole thing is working great. The moral of the story being, replace your SIM card every couple of years, I didn't realize how much difference it could make.
Yesterday the keyboard started to do strange things: when I'm writing text messages it skips some letters it starts automatically to cancel all I have wrote without I have pushed "del"sometimes it automatically locks and no one key can remove the lockI already tried to remove and replace the battery but the problem still remain.
I just got this phone off Amazon market place, and when I flip the phone to the left to use the qwerty keyboard, the letter 'E' does not work correctly, sometimes it does work but other's it just spams my phone with the letters next to it (W and R). The thing which confuses me is when I go to use a menu on the same place it works fine, just not on the qwerty keyboard, also when I turn the phone to the right to use the qwerty keyboard on that side it seems to work fine.
The only time I was successful in getting WIFI to work was connecting to the OPEN connection at a Lexus Dealership. I've tried numerous times to connect to my home wireless network without success. It shows connected, but there is absolutely no Intenet. This is inexcusable for such a prominent technology company as Motorola! In my view, I believe that Motorola has omitted the WEP key or WPA key in their WIFI set-up. Does anyone else agree to that assessment? I have an electronic engineering degree and have been involved with technology since I was in high school and I would think that Motorola would answer this problem with a software update. I am sure it affects all of their smartphones with supposed WIFI capability. Other than the WIFI issue it is a great smartphone even without 4G!
I have a a Samsung Galaxy S5 DUOS SM-G900MD ANDROID 4.4.2 rooted KERNEL: 3.4.0-2931355 dpi DWDD5507 CARRIER from Brazil BASE BAND : G900MDUBU1ANF3
So i like to use the "wifi timer" function when i go to sleep, and auto start my wifi when i get to work.
But this piece of crap sometimes does not work, is there a fix for this problem ?
I believe the problem is , if you change the wifi status at any moment the wifi timer gets buggy: P when I fist set the Wifi Timer it works, but just for a few days.
Samsung software is really crappy, the "Blocking mode" also does not work correctly, configured not to show led notifications on specified time, and still does...
My iPhone 5s's home button doesn't respond correctly after i plug in the charger. I'm not sure what's wrong.
At first, it wouldn't charge so i had to find a different charger that i had ordered from amazon (not from apple) and it only worked when i plugged it in with one side. the other chargers that i have from apple do not work. the home button sometimes works correctly, but im sure that it starts to not respond correctly after i plug the charger in. i have tried almost everything i could find on the internet. im not sure if its a hardware or software problem
I have over 1,500 contacts in Outlook and has successfully synchronized them with Nokia E72 (last firmware). But quick search in Contacts application simply doesn't work - I can find only few contacts - others just dissapear when I start typing correct letters. I tried to kill the process of this app and restart Contacts. Voila, it works correctly! But then in 5 min. I tried again and got just the same problem. Desktop quick search doesn't work too.I've already tried to reload all the contacts in my phone - no results.
The plug part of my Motorola Defy stopped working so my only option at the moment is to charge via USB which isn't too great when I don't have my own computer at home at the moment so charging options are very limited.I contacted Amazon where I purchased the phone and they want me to send the whole lot back for replacement when it is just the plug part that doesn't work!i then contacted Motorola via their Chat and they were not much help either. It took them ages to respond to my query as they were busy chatting to someone else on the phone. When I eventually got a reply they said to contact CPW Accessory Repairs on 0870 087 0168. Contacted them and I was speaking to a robot and punching in different buttons on the keypad. Eventually it said to bring it in to one of the CPW stores and they may be able to help repair or replace it.What an absolute farce. It's absurd and impractical that Amazon have to replace the whole thing instead of just the small part that is faulty. It is just the plug part that doesn't work and I can't be sending the whole thing back with all my applications and viewranger maps to have to reinstall it all over again.
I got the storm 2 like 2 weeks ago and I loved it only problems were the back button wouldn't work like 40% of the time and my send button rarely worked. Well after reading that they were replacing them free I went to a verizon store today and of course when I took it in all the buttons worked. Well the guy still offered to exchange it for me. the whole thing took less than a half hour and he gave me a new battery just for the **** of it and the replacement is soo much better! All the buttons work and overall typing is soo much better on it now. I didn't think it would go that smoothly but so far I have had verizon almost 2 years and I have had great service with them since the start. Now I looked at the box and there was no green dot on it or anything and I haven't looked at the date under the battery yet cuz I have been using the phone alot and right now im listening to music but all the buttons work great and the back button dosent click like its on crack everytime I click it.
I have lost my earplugs for my BH-904 bluetooth headset (the curved earplug), does anyone know if I can get a replacement from anywhere?I have phoned Nokia support and it was a waste of 40 mins.I have emailed Nokia support about a week ago but I've have no reply.
After a bad experience with an 'authorized' Nokia service centre, I am now in the need to replace my display.
After the repair of the USB hatch, the display gave a problem - and when we told them they seem to have fitted a different display. The display now goes completely dark whenever the backlight is off, and also has very bad legibility in daylight even with backlight.
I don't really trust the service centre anymore, and am going to replace the display myself. I want to ask my friends around if they are dumping any compatible phone - so that I can use their display. Do you know if there are any other phones where same display as N82 is used?
Been offered a couple of phones as replacement for my problem prone N97 and this is the list
Nokia E72 Sony Ericsson Vivaz Sony Ericsson Satio Nokia X6
My initial reaction was to reject all of them as I feel they all fall under the Mid Range umbrella, while the N97 is marketed as High End so I expect a high end replacement.
I have two contacts with the following (example) phone numbers in the address book: +48506123456 and +48606123456. They differ with only one digit, but the phone cannot recognize them and cannot display correct contact name while ringing.
I'm using Windows XP SP2 PC suite version is 7.1.40.1, English I use both data cable and bluetooth. My phone models are Nokia 2330 and Nokia 2730. My problem is that when I open the Nokia Communication centre in PC suite (messages), I see the following issues in the messages.For example, if the total number of messages in inbox is 250, in the PC suite, it is listed as a number less than 250 (e.g 242 or so). On a closer look, I discovered that a few of the messages are "mixed up" with other messages.For example, let's take the two messages: "Hello, how are you? Hope you are fine?" "Where are you, and when will you be coming?" In PC suite, the two messages sometimes are merged together as one message in a jumbled manner like this "Hello, hoWhere are you, an w are you? Hope you are fine? d when will you be coming?"However, they will be visible as "normal" in the phone inbox when I check in the phone screen.This issue happens on PC suite in both Nokia 2330 and 2730 in both inbox and sent items. I uninstalled PC suite, cleaned out my system registry and reinstalled PC suite, but the same problem occurs.Any ideas on why this issue is happening?
i have nokia 701 and in nokia browser the facebook is not opening correctly.nor the page is displaying correctly niether the any other function can be used such as like,comment, share etc.any app which have all these functions of facebook.
Iv read so much on new batteries that my head hurts...Okay, so, do we still drain mobile phone batteries and fully charge them (and keep running this cycle for optimizing battery life)Iv read that its best to keep topping your battery up with charge, never letting it get too low??Also first charges - 24hrs, 12hrs, 6?? I let my new lumia 920 run its factory power until it shut down due to no battery life remaining and the I charged for around 5 hours. Did anyone do anything ignificantly different on there first charge?
I had my motherboard replaced by NOKIA because it would not turn on (vibrates only). When I got my "refurbished" E52 (Product code: 0573916) from the NOKIA Care Center, I could not adjust the display brightness. It had the firmware version 033.002 so I flashed it and upgraded to 034.001 thinking that it would solve the problem. The NOKIA Care personnel told me that it's a common issue for replacement motherboards and there's nothing they (or we) could do about it. It was NOKIA who gave them the replacement motherboard. This is my worst case with NOKIA, so far.
I went to a lot of shops in Bangalore and the shop guys told me that the Nokia 5230 is no more in production and now they only have Nokia 5233. Could someone confirm it Nokia has stopped production of 5230. Also they told me that 5230 has some software problems due to which they stopped production.Also the only difference between Nokia 5230 and 5233 is that the former has 3G and the latter doesnt is it true? Thanks in advance for the answers.
My 5140i is old and tired.I need the rugged body. I am a tradie, that until the 5140i, was a phone killer. GSM or 3G networks, don't need fancy features.I need the next version of the 5140i.It has to be tough, durable, dependable.I have warn out my 4th set of replacable screen and keypad covers.Any suggestion what my new nokia is called?
I installed the CK-200 last weekend. Unfortunately the remote managed to work its way off the steering wheel and completely disappear within three days.I've asked about 20 different suppliers whether they stock replacement remotes and they all say no. I asked Nokia UK Support and they tell me to contact suppliers as they no longer have an online shop.Can someone please put me in the direction of a replacement part? Surely a company of Nokia's stature must have a parts supply chain somewhere?!?
A buddy of mine offered to buy me any device under $500 since I left my iPod at his house in TN and he wants to keep it - yes, it is packed with Music.Anyway, I was looking for a device that I could put my movies and music on and not have to worry about conversion and working with an iPod - was leaning towards the 64gb iPod Touch - and someone recommended the N900. After doing some research, it seems that this phone could really be perfect.Has anyone gotten a 3g modem shared via wifi to work? Looks the there is a program called JokiuSpot that claims to do that with Nokia Smartphones, does that include the N900?
How is video playback?Will the audio portion sync with iTunes? What would be the best way to use this with my BlackBerry, get a 2nd SIM card that only does Data (Do they do that in the US?) or just swap SIM cards? Is the BB Data Plan different from the one I would need to use the N900 while travelling and what not? What are your guys overall impressions of the N900?
I'm an avid user of the Nokia Communicators series, and have been since it's many incarnations from the 9000, 9200, 9500 and now the E90.The inner screen on my E90 initially passed out, and has now unfortunately given up the ghost! Hence, I'm now desparately looking for a (new) European replacement. Doesanyone know if I can purchase a new E90 either directly from Nokia - Finland, Nokia - Mainland Europe or somewhere else, but of similar (good) repute? Since Nokia closed it's store in London's Regent Street, it's left us Brits having to rely on services from the likes of Phones4U, enough said!
I have had the E72 for few months and I have not managed to correctly use the Silent mode button. Everytime I press it, it switches quickly to Silent mode and then back to general. I always have to repeat the same opertion several times before getting the wanted result. Of course, I always end up using the main power button to switch the phone mode but the shortcut button is so easier.
I have my preferred connections setup with my home WLAN as priority, then my cell phone provider (ATT) as the last priority. The connection manager switches from my WLAN to ATT everytime I go out of range of my WLAN fully automatically. So that part is working as designed. The problem is when I get back to my home WLAN the connection manager doesn't automatically drop the EDGE or 3G connection and connect to my WLAN.
To make things worse, even if I kill the EDGE or 3G connection manually, it may or may not pick up my WLAN and start using it. Then, if I can get the WLAN to connect, the connection manager will insist on connecting to the EDGE/3G connection and disconnecting the WLAN. This is crazy behavior. I've been pretty happy with the phone's stability over my old N78, but I hope to Zeus that a Firmware upgrade will be release that fixes this bug. It drives me nuts........................
For some reason all the birthdays in the phone contacts shows day later than it is on my windows live contacts? So in Windows live a contacts birthday is correct, but in the phone it shows incorrectly day later. How is this possible as my phone gets the contact cards from the Windows live and they should be the same? I have checked the time zones and all match.
I have updated the latest firmware (1600.2487.8107.12070) just a week back. Even now the battery backup is not good enough as boasted by your team. The battery does not even last for 8 hrs. This is the first time am facing such a poor battery backup for a Nokia Device. Though the call end issue is resolved in this update, the proximity sensor issue still remains. The screen blanks out when the proximity sensor is activated while calling and has to be activated again to bring back the normal screen.
Steps to reproduce this issue:
1. Make a call 2. Take the handset near your ear (The proximity sensor is activated now) 3. Move it from your ear (The proximity sensor is deactivated now, but the screen is still blank) 4. Again take it near your ear and release it again (The screen is visible now)

I am using nokia 2700c. Whenever I connect my phone with pc suite or nokia suite, it shows I am using 5130xm, but image shown is of 2700. The problem is I am unable to connect to internet. It always gives error likes drivers problem. I have tried uninstalling and again installing pc suite several times. Even I have uninstalled drivers. Deleted setting folders from user/appdata folders. Nothing works. Even when remove data cable or bluetooth connector it still shows I have connected phone. Only way to correct that problem is restart pc. I can explore messages, pictures, calendar without problem when connected but I want to access internet.
I wonder if anyone can clarify the following:- My N97 is due to have the complete back assembly replaced due to bad GPS reception (been on order for 4 weeks but due to be delivered this week). I have read on other forums that a piece of foam is also fitted at the same time which shields the GPS receiver from interference from the main circuit board? The NSC technician has not heard of the foam so has not ordered it. My question is :- does the N97 still need the foam or is this foam now incorporated within the new back assembly.

I have had my Lumia 900 for almost 3 days, and I am extremely impressed with the build quality and design. Definitely an upgrade from my Focus. However, there are a few things that are still buggy.
1. The camera doesn't correctly choose the right scene, so the veiwfinder is very blue when using the camera, but it looks perfect once the picture has been taken.
2. Pressing the hardware camera button while the phone is locked doesn't always launch the camera like it should. Especially trying to do so immediately after the phone is locked.
3. The battery dies extremely fast once the battery saver mode turns on.
4. The critical battery notification occurs at roughly 15% when as my Focus did it at around 5%, which was much more helpful.
5. When the battery died on my Lumia, it didn't leave enough battery to shut the device down, it got to 0% and then the phone froze for about a minute then when black, no goodbye screen. Then, when I tried to charge it, it was plugged up for about 5 minutes before the battery meter appeared saying the battery was too low to start the phone. During that five minutes, the hardware buttons were glowing, and holding the power button had no effect.
