Nokia :: N97 - Camera - GPS
Jul 10, 2010
I have purchased Nokia N97 7 months before.
I have been continuosly facing problems with that. I am really tired of the problems. I have been to Nokia Care for more than 8 times in last 7 months.
The main problem is it's CAMERA (it doesn't take good pics with good resolution, and also it gives a lot of flash in its image), half of the picture we take in dark will be in flash. And it's GPS, oh God please save me. I travelled from Surat to Rajkot and Raj to Surat twice and also to Ahmedabad from Rajkot once, but it never gets the signal on road.
For our dear N97, we have to wait minimum for 10 minutes to have its GPS connected and that too is not sure if it will connect or not.
But even if we stand for 10 - 20 minutes, and get the GPS connected, it won't remain connected throughout the way and once it gets disconnected, its again a big mess, we can never connect while travelling.
And if the connection doesn't get disconnected, it will not be connected nicely and would show the speed only 20 to 30 % of the journey.
I have recently read all the same issues at many sites and seeing the issue getting resolved at many places by getting the device replaced with a new problem less one, I have given the mobile to the company people to have a fix. Please Nokia people I have been using the Nokia since last 7 years and also I have 6 Nokia mobiles at my house itself. Please don't make me dissatisfied.
Please replace my device with a good piece.
My Job Sheet Number is 535504867/100710/8.

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/) ?

Is there any way of getting the E71's camera to take a good quality picture?It's supposed to be a 3MP camera. But I've tried printing off standard 6x4 prints of pictures I've taken (in good lighting conditions), and yet the pictures are blurry will blotchy colouring - they look like they were taken on a poor quality VGA camera.
I've checked, and the camera is set to take pictures of the highest resolution available. What I have noticed, is that a lot of the pictures come out as files which are less than 350KB in size, which seems a very small file size for a picture taken with 3MP resolution.
To compare, I've looked at some pictures taken on my LG Viewty, and they are all on average about 1.6MB in size. As that is a 5MP camera, and working it back, pictures taken on a 3MP camera should come in at just under 1MB.Seriously, my old Nokia 6630 from 5 years ago made much better quality prints with it's 1.3MP camera, and that just doesn't seem right.

I have an N95 8GB that I'm normally happy for, but after a reinstall of older firmware the camera stopped working. What happens when i press the camera button on the side is that the screen turns and stands for a sec or 2, and then the screen flips back. I have tested to bar code scanner and that works great. I'm running the newest firmware on N95-2, RM-320.I cannot' remember the FW version i updated to when the camera stopped working. The rest of the phone great, it only the camera that doesn't work.I hope that some of you can help.

My brand new N97 Mini RM-553 that I ordered from Amazon (sold by Nokia), straight out of the box makes very bad pictures with kinda stripes. Here's an example:
URL...
I had the same problem 3 years ago with my SE w800i and I just had to update my phone to solve the problem. I've tried to do the same with N97 Mini, but Nokia Software Updater says, that there is no new update for my phone. My Firmware is 10.2.020.It doesn't matter if i use flash or not. The lines are on the screen when I'm trying to take a photo, not just after i take a photo. Same thing is when I switch it to video mode to record videos. Also there are much more lines when I'm trying to make a photo of TV that is turned on. I have also N95-4 (8GB) and there is no problem when I want to take a picture of the same TV. I bet it's just a software problem, but I can't update my phone, because of my ProductCode.
What can I do to fix this? I am very disappointed and if there is no way to fix it, then I think I'm gonna return that phone and probably never buy anything from Nokia. $500 for High-End phone that straight out of box is not working properly is not what I expected from NOKIA.

friend has this problem. he tells me that sometime while the phone is in its leather pouch the camera turns on by itself. he has no idea until he takes it out to use. it has a lock code on it. it only happens when its in the pouch. he didn't face that problem before he bought the pouch.have anybody else experienced this problem. i am thinking its the pouch that is somehow activating the camera. the phone fits snug in it. what do you guys think is the cause.

I just want to share my experience with you.I've been using an unlocked Lumia 800 for a week now and I actually like the phone, however these camera problems are just unacceptable.
The camera has SERIOUS white balance problems, and, for me the most important, the auto-focus is just ridiculous. It works bad, but focusing on "macro" objects is just a no go, even usin the touch focus or the "macro" focus mode. Another problem is the lens flare, which reflects how bad these optics might be. You really think that the Carl Zeiss branded optics anything here? Think again. My HTC Incredible S, with its "OEM" optics, (or the Iphone 4S or the SII) just humiliates this camera. Also, is that so hard to make a green square focus confirmarion?
How can they release a flagship device, with this price range, with these problems? No wonder why Nokia is where it is standing now, "almost" in a closing-doors status. They really need better engineers and programmers because everytime they let this happen with a device, they're tossing away their valuable customers. And they really deserve it.
And as I've been reading, the Lumia 900 is having the same problems... How sad is this?

The camera on my n97 mini often freezes. When this happens, the display is all blacked out. The onlu way to get rid of this is to restart the phone. Sometimes a restart is not enough and the battery has to be taken out for a while.Has anyone else experienced this? The firmware version is 10.0.020 and no update seems to be available.

recently ive come into a few issues with my N97 and my local nokia care center for that matter.as far as i am aware, nokia has acknowledged that the earlier model N97 had a design fault with the camera assembly where the lens slider is mounted too close to the glass, and as a result, was easily scratched.from my research a while ago, nokia acknowledged this and that it would be covered under warranty, and that they would replace the camera assembly with a newer model that doesnt have this issue.
however, my local nokia care centre refuse to acknowledge the issue and has caused my a lot of problems. the first time i brought my phone in, they correctly replaced the camera assembly with the new one. however, they somehow managed to stop the phone from recognising any sim card. so i brought it back in again, and this time they replaced the phone with a blank N97, however, this n97 had firmware issues and had the original camera slider with the design fault, and they continued to act rude and said that i didnt know what i was talking about and continued to insult me stating that it is not an acknowledged issue with the phone.
now, can someone confirm for me, or better yet, supply me with a link about the official nokia statement on this matter?

Having a bit of trouble with the quality of pictures taken from the main camera on my N97.Although, I have the resolution set to max (5mp), the pictures that come out dont look anything like 5mp resolution.I say this because I had a N82 before this which had a 5mp camera, which I guess was pretty much same as N97. I still have my old phone so I compared pictures from both (same object, same conditions) and pictures from N82 were still a lot better than N97.
I have the latest firmware on N97 and have tried all different setting and even tried a hard reset, but cant have it to take good pictures. Although the size once I copy them to my computer says 2592x1944, the details are no where there what they should be.

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!
