I have noticed that I always have to select my home WiFi network when at home but I am (pretty) sure this used to happen automatically.Is it possible that the menu options have been changed during the update to Symbian Anna.I never managed to be offered the 1/2 update to Anna so maybe something is missing.I have 3 menu's under connectivity in WLAN
- Switch to WLAN
- Data use in home country (user manual says Data use in home network)
- Data use when abroad (not mentioned in User Manual)
Ideally, when I need to access the internet, I would like my phone to automatically connect to my Home network if I am at home, secondly if not at homem, to automatically connect to other WLAN's that I have used previously if or if none available, connect via my ISP (use up some of my Data allowance)Always Nokia since 1994 including Nokia 2140, 7110e, 6150, 6210, 6310i, 6230i, N82Current: Nokia N8 (Anna) - and delighted with it!
what happened when u enter menu every "Thing" is in menu now why is it not like on Anna that u have things sorted in folders any solution for that?what is wrong when u enter in messages u have only last messages no Inbox sent etc?
I just bought this phone today, and i have done everything step by step to connect to my wireless router at home, when i go to connection manager it shows my home network, when i set up its acces point all is fine untill i go to the connection menu and there is no symbol for wlan it only has bluetooth,infrered,data cbl, modem, conn mgr, dev mgr, internet tel, IM and Sync, but not Wlan option anywhere, does any1 know what my problem is?when i go to the web a pop up shows sayin no gateway reply, i have done a full rest and then done everything in the bobk step by step, i dont know what wrong with it, the only reason i bought this Phone was for the wifi
Recently I've changed the WLAN key in my home network. My phone has stored the old WLAN key & can't connect anymore to the network. I can't find the proper setting to change the key and connect the phone to the network.
When I'm home and connects to my wlan, I'm writing a 26digit key for the wlan. Is there any way to get the N8 to remember this key? I have to write it every time I want to use it at home.
Since i have a N97 (from about one week) i have a problem that most of the people complain about aaaand there is NO solution to it..i'm with the firmware v 22.0.110 and it wants me to update it to the same firmware (the one i have v 22.0.110) which is pretty much useless.It's a RM-505 type soooo it can't be upgraded more.I've tried it all hard reset, reinstall etc nothing works.
I've just got a Nokia 500 to replace my X6 and its a great little phone, but I can't find a way to turn off WLAN to conserve the battery. I set it up to connect to my home network, but everytime I disconnect it on the phone using the widgit on screen, it refreshes a few minutes later and reconnects - I've turned scanning off and set connection to manual but it made no difference.
- It now takes several seconds to respond to key presses so every feature of the phone is running at a delay.
- SMS messages aren't being received in "real time" and I need to periodically turn the phone on and off again to receive them.
- "Messaging" itself has the largest delay and key-presses are at about a ten second response delay and if for example you select to mark today's messages as "read" then "processing" appears at the bottom of the screen. No matter how long you leave it "processing" it never completes, crashes and closes messaging.
- Having never previously locked up my N8 now does this at least twice a day when trying to answer a call - the touchscreen does not respond to me and the call rings out and eventually goes to voicemail. I run my own business and these are potential customers who my N8 is refusing to answer calls from.
- My N8 will now no longer pair with my bluetooth headset - which it has done for the past year. It's not the headset because I can pair and use it with both my desktop and netbook computers.
- Programs keep crashing and exiting on their own (e.g. Opera browser)
- Other previously working programs now will not start/open/launch at all. (Blackballer - app for rejecting certain callers).
- Other installed programs that have been set to "auto start" now do not auto start and must be launched manually.
I have not installed any "new" software since updating to Anna and all aspects of the phone were working normally before I updated. (I've found the WiFi connectivity temperamental but haven't had the need to used it since updating to Anna).I am presently syncing and backing up my phone using the Ovi suite but I would like to restore my phone to how it was before the Anna update but I'm not really sure which of the options I should choose (factory settings?)I have a class 10 memory card which contains several GB's worth mp3's and camera images - I have opted out of backing up the memory card on Ovi suite. I have installed paid-for apps installed via the Ovi store and I would (of course!) prefer not to lose them in any reset/restore procedure.In a nutshell I do not want to lose my mp3's, camera images (stored on memory card) nor do I want to lose my sms messages or installed paid-for applications.
I've recently had a notification on my N8 with a software upgrade. I run OSX and was wondering what is the best way to upgrade firmware without windows?
I'm looking for a theme that replaces the Anna style icons from my N8 and replaces them with how it used to look.Ovi told me that there was an update available for my N8 with improved features so I downloaded and installed it. What it didn't tell me was that it would replace all of my icons with something that makes it look like a kids toy. I don't want pretty rounded icons that all look virtually the same but in different colours, I want standard icons. I want a picture of a spanner for settings, I want a picture of a calculator for calculator, I want a picture of a calendar for calendar and so on.Is there a downloadable theme that replaces these childish looking icons for the original ones? The N8 is a telephone, not something made by Fisher-Price......
how do i get my N8 to stay disconnected from wlan when i'm at home? Gone through all my settings but it still re-connects when i select disconnect.
My old 5800 you selected disconnect and it did that and stayed off till i wanted to reconnect but the N8 just keeps on re-connecting. Will this eat my battery life if it stays connected ?
how to use WLan on my Nokia N97 Mini. I was able to detect the free Wi-fi connection in a mall. But after connecting i was unable to access any sites as it gave error: invalid server name. Ive tried at Mumbai Airport as well, but still the same error. I tried many different site but still the same error. Also sometime when i try some sites after connecting to WLAN, it prompts to connect via GPRS which should not be the case I believe. Both GPRS and WLAN are different. How do I access Internet via W-fi and not with the GPRS.
My N8 keeps connecting to OVI Store via WAP when WLAN available. Not only is WLAN available, it is connected and #1 in the list - checked via Connection Manager.
The Browser etc. has no problem - uses WLAN as expected. I can't find anywhere to set the OVI Store access priorities - I assume it's supposed to use Connection Manager?
I have nokia E6 with 025.007 software. I have saved accesspoint with saved password.Password on this AP was changed and now when I'm trying to connect from my Nokia E6 I receive 'Check password'.But I didn't find any place where I could change password.In Settings-Connectivity-WLAN I see only information about APs. But I could not delete/chage saved password here.
Recently I went on trip and set my phone to Offline - but allowed wifi connections.I did buy a microSD card. I tried removing it - same issue.Upon my return back to my home and native land - I could not make out going calls.Anyhow - now I can't make out going calls. I can send and receive txts. My data plan works. I can receive calls.I checked my call restrictions and tried check status and it said request was denied. I never set up any restrictions or passwords.I have rebooted several times. Tried the holding for 8 seconds and waiting for the 3 buzzes - no dice.
I still canīt install new Symbian ANNA, my Ovi Suite and N8 still writte "No updates available". I tried every option, which is avaible for update, but answer is still the same :"No updates availeble"
Last week, we upgraded my Nokia N8 to Symbian Anna.Now, I experienced one large and one smaller problem:1. Large problem: When connecting the phone (via USB cable) to my notebook (Suse Linux 11.2), it is no longer recognized as a mass storage drive (USB stick), but only the camera is recognized (pptp protocol), i.e., the notebook asks, if I want to copy the photos, but does not find access to all other files. (Before upgrading, this problem did not exist!)
2. Smaller problem: When taking photos, one can add a description (under "details").This works, but not as good as before: the number of characters for the description is drastically reduced. and what is worse: all older descriptions have been truncated and are hardly of any use any more.
Ok. so now i was so happy that anna came out then when i updated (Via OTA don't know if that matters since the update went perfectly) .. and no split screen? I'm using singapore FW which has chinese character.. maybe the chinese FW doesn't support split screen? not even in english writing language mode?
After upgrading to Symbian Anna, my N8 cannot pair to my laptop via bluetooth. This same phone could pair with the laptop earlier. My E6-00 can connect to the same laptop without any hassles via Bluetooth.
After Anna upgrade, the operation of my phone (N8) run slower generally. I am not sure I can specify few, for example, openning Photos, taking picture, working with worksheet, etc.
Since I installed the new Anna updates today through OVI Suite I have not been able to send any texts. They stay in my outbox and keeps updating with 'resend at ......' I have gone back and restored factory settings bit no joy.
Are there some examples out there how to set this up? For example, a Microsoft SSTP VPN? I have N8 Anna. I have Mobile VPN and also Mobile Intranet but clueless since there is no User Guide.
Everywhere on the web it says that the Anna version is 025.007I live in the U.S. And my phone is still 024.001 and I tried every single way to do the software update but it still shows no recent updates.Can anyone help me know what's the problem here.
My N8 just freezes often and it is extremely frustrationg. I usually happens during sending txt and using Whatsapp. It just freezes. I click the right side slider to lock it - nothing happens sometimes. Then about a minute later, it catches up - all my clicks go off.
I suspect Whatsapp. I uninstalled it - seems to be better. So I reinstalled it. Same issue. Hanging starts again. After phone reboots - same thing.
I really love Whatsapp. I uninstalled it, and re dowloaded it from the site. Same issue. But things were fine about 6 months ago.
I've looked, and so far, all I've found is an update that will installe Belle. I tried that once, and now my system pops up "System Error" every time I turn it on, so I don't want to try installing Belle again, in case something worse happens.
I've setup my wlan access in Internet destination. In this destination I set up wlan as priority 1 and mobile data as priority 2.Phone keeps moving wlan from Internet to Uncategorised destination. If I move it back to Internet it stays for some time and goes back to Uncategorised. Sometimes it happens while browsing. I want to go back one page and phone will show that it can't find the address. Have to go to settings and move it back to Internet destination. Ad nauseam. Did not have this problem on N8. My phone has static IP address on my home modem.
