Nokia Nseries :: N8 Battery Dying Quickly After Updating Anna Service Pack
Nov 16, 2011
After updating anna's service pack I noticed that my battery wont last as long as before the update. I checked for any open programs but everything is closed. I did not install anything new since the update btw.
I recently updated my N8 to ANNA. After that I'm facing lot of issues such as the battery lasts only less than 12 Hrs, problems with e-mails, slow response etc. How can I roll back my phones software to Symbian v3. I dont want to take my phone to any Nokia Care centres.
Today while i was checking for updates thru my E7 , i found this update and its size was about one Meg. but i don't what is the purpose and nothing changed in my phone.
Battery life, with no phone use at all, and no apps at all, is about 7 hours. System Busy clock frequently prevents use, and screen occasionally goes black and is unresponsive for a couple of minutes. Battery has been replaced, but that did not improve anything.
At this point, despite many years with BlackBerry, I am seriously considering going Apple.
When I use the slider lock button, the screen stays on. The lock icon shows up at the top right of the screen, so I know the slider action is detected. This happens in both normal and power saving mode.
My n8 was working perfectly with pr1.2 . Then the problem started since i updated to symbian anna , It automatically restarts . I've tried everything i could , reinstall , hard reset , flash firmware , but the problem was still there.
So I updated my N8 to Anna recently, it had iplayer before the update but doesnt have it after, the ovi store does not list iplayer and accessing iplayer via the web says that the phone is not supported.How do I get iplayer on my N8 running Anna.
After six months of heavy use, application installations, removals, etc. my N8 could really use a clean wipe before updating to Symbian Anna. I have a handful of smaller bugs, empty folders and such left on my phone, and I'd like to just have a fresh start before installing the new firmware.Phone memory (c: drive) has just 65mb of free space left and I've noticed that users installing Symbian Anna report that the free space on phone memory drops quite a bit after updating the firmware.Yet another good reason the get this fixed.ut what is the best way to do this?Is it any good to do a full phone format (hard reset) before updating to Symbian Anna?
I have enabled ENCRYPTION ON for my Phone memory of my 701. So if i try to hard reset it ll it reset or it wont ?
After FP1 update my battery is draining so quickly dont know why. Am using this device since october 2011 never faced this problem except after FP1 update. My mobile is always connected to 2g network and EDGE mobile data never faced this quick draining of battery except after FP1 update from few days..
3) When can we expect SKYPE VIDEO CALL & MS APP'S ?
The Ovi maps crashed on me today in that it left the settings menu displayed over the maps but it was not functioning as a menu. Weird, but not totally out of the ordinary for this device. I restarted ovi maps and the menu was still there.Then I rebooted, and the maps would only show a black screen.Then I rebooted again, and got a phone call and after the call the screen locked up the state with the red phone bubble.Tried to reboot and it wouldn't untill I held the power for like 10 seconds.
This is a completely new level of malfunctioning, but in that the issues survive the reboots is my problems hardware related, or did the maps somehow trash my firmware?
So far so good since the update but the only problem now that i noticed is the battery. Since the update, my phone now consumes more power and i have to charge it at least once every day. Before the update i was charging it every 3 days.
Will the N8 get any of it, especially the smaller widgets? Nokia, come on, these massive widgets reduce the phone's functionality. Not to mention that some widgets are poorly designed (like social having refresh at the bottom of a list, or if you click on it, you're not in "all activity", and the new mail widget). The mail, music player, and social widgets are just too huge to use and say the phone has better interface functionality over an iPhone and Androids. The social sub-widgets are quite terrible, as is the entire app now. The last version was pretty near perfect, but of course, not good enough for Nokia. They have to add bloat to streamlined, functional apps.
Anyone else who owns a nokia 701 in Canada been able to update to belle feature pack 1 and 2? I know FP1 has been available for months but it hasn't appeared on my sw update or nokia suite update. However just today I got the homescreen widgets update so I know I'm still getting updates. Anyone been able to update to belle FP1 or FP2?
I've tried numerous times to download or download and install the iphone IOS 5.1.1, but the process always time out and stop downloading after about 50MB have been downloaded. I've never had any similar problems before. I'm currently on IOS 5.0.1.
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.
- 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......
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.
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?
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.
