Nokia Nseries :: N8 - Sometimes Calling Doesn't Work
Dec 23, 2011
i am unable to make calls. When I try to make phone call it doesn't even try to make the call. I choose a name from the address book to call and nothing happens. After restaring the phone it works fine. An even more annoying problem is that when this has happened my phone doesn't receive calls either. I've heard that people have tried to call me and it has rang normally but my phone doesn't show that someone has called me. Otherwise the phone works fine so I newer know that it is in this "problem state" until I try to make a call.Software version is 025.007.240.02
since updating the sofware (knew I shouldn't have done that!) I can no longer dial people in the contacts by name, it is like the phone is searching a different contact list than before but I only have one contacts list.
I made a backup of my N8, thereafter a reset back to factory settings and re-installes the backup to the phone. Now... when pushing the camera buttom og icon nothing happens. It goes into black for a few sec and the back to menu
I got Nokia 500, and for some reason the audio output(Jack 3,5mm) doesn't work Any things i plugged in doesn't give results.I can hear the voice when i unplug headphones, like it should be.
I upgraded to Belle this weekend but now the chat app doesn't work. I got it again from the store, and now it only shows as a widget, not as an app, but it simply doesn't work.I click on the widget, there's an update on the screen so the touch seems to have been recognized, but that's it, nothing happens after that.
yester evening, I made a backup of my N8, thereafter a reset back to factory settings and re-installes the backup to the phone. Now... when pushing the camera buttom og icon nothing happens. It goes into black for a few sec and the back to menu
I came to know that we can use OVI Maps in Offline in N900 from the below url http://maemo.nokia.com/n900/tips/maps/. But it asks a connection to proceed and search in OVI Maps doesn't work well. As well the locations are not auto populated. guide me to use OVI Maps effectively in offline in N900.
FYI, I downloaded the required maps in to my N900 using Nokia OVI Suite
Recentl I have downloaded battery monitor 3 app from store.That doesn't work fine as I have to manually touch on it to show the updated remaining average use!
got a serious issue with my mobile Nokia N97 minii updated the software to 30.0.004.290.02 version Middle East region : Egyptafter installing it via Nokia Ovi Suit on through my PCi nomore can use the ( AutoLock Period )when i try to change the choice to user defind fromSettings > Phone > Phone mgmt. > Security Settings > Phone and Sim Card > Phone Autolock Period , when i write for ex. 1 minute and press OK the Ok button delete the number i insertedi don`t know what to do ..
My N8 does display calling name from contacts, rather displays only the number. I have tried rebooting the phone after re-inserting SIM (multiple times), but no result. Any fix for this??This irritates in a big way, as you can't recognise as who is calling.
If I call a number where they have a menu where you have to choose from. I can't manage to get my keyboard to make a choice. Does any one know how to do this?
I have seen a strange issue with N8. At times, I have seen that when I receive a call from the person who is already added in my contact list, the phone is just displaying the number and not the name of the person. When I check the Log, it also displays the number and not the name of the person.
I have imported my contact list from my previous handset (Nokia N70) where it worked absolutely fine. It is quite inconvenient to identify the caller without the name and decide whether to accept or reject during work hours and have at times missed some important calls due to that.
I found that I can't use the numeric keypad while calling with my N8. Is it possible to show the numerica keypad as possible as other Symbian devices are?
Because of that issue, I can't listen to my voicemails because you need to send dialing signals to use your voicemail box.
I just received my N8 from repair and they changed the main chip for it with the newest software. Now it gives me black screen when calling / receiving calls. It also does this when clock has alert on.I can turn the screen on with the "unlocking slide" but this in general is extremely annoying and pointless. I was thinking to take it back to repair shop, but wanted to ask about this first here.
this time my headphones are not working when i am attending any calls ..otherwise they r fyn !!while listning to music and radio they are working fine ... but when i attend some calls they don"t work ..
Suppose, I have, under 1 name, multiple contacts (each with different Label Pic, ie, phone, telephone pic etc.). On calling or receiving calls, same Pic (ie of Mobile) is displayed against all those numbers.
The camera doesn't work. I open the camera application with both methods (button on side and icon in apps) but it does the red dot thing in the corner for about 4-6 seconds then disappears and applications tells me the app is running. I try to go to the app but it wont go on it.
Problem 2:
The green key, dialler and contacts icon on the home screen do not work at all. I have no way of opening my dialler as there is no option for it.
I updated my firmware to v40.0.005 last week. Please be aware the problems were both there BEFORE i made the update and are still here after the update.Is there any way of doing this without soft/hard resetting. Also, does soft/hard reset mean you lose the data in an app (eg your high scores in a game like bagatelle)?
my battery doesn't even last a day regardeless of whether or not I have made a call, started happening this last week or two for no reason. Anything I can do? Not paying nokia loads for a problem they cause in designing it poorly (irreplaceable battery).
it used to be ok, but now, when i turn on the camera, and i "half-press" the capture button (in order to focus), nothing happens. the optics (i mean the black "things" behind the lens) used to move forward and backwards, but now, when i "half-press" the capture button nothing happens and i can't take a picture.
I downloaded 4 updates and my phone rebooted itself. Now it doesn't start properly. It turns on, but stays in this bright white screen with Nokia-text on it. When the N8 is switched off and I put the charger in, it goes on and freezes again in the white screen.
Few days ago my n8 started playing up - doesn't recognize my sim card - or any other, if i take sim card out - phone worx just fine in offline profile , but as soon i put sim card in and try to change to general profile - it goes on and of i reseated phone in hope it will be fixed but no change?
I have a problem with my N95. During update with a usbcable nad nokia pc suite the cable is disconnected. Now my phone will not boot anymore. It does says "nokia"but the backlight is not on.
Is there a method that can hard reset or reformat the device?
Just noticed that my N8 doesn't have a SW update notification, though it's turned on? My friend's C7 has this and just received a Maps Suite notification, whilst I had to go check if it's available, and it's there.
