Nokia :: Some Keys On N900 Are Losing Their Black Paint
Aug 27, 2010
So far just 4 keys have shown this problem, including the space bar.The bad news is that when the black paint starts to goes, the white plastic underneath is illuminated from below and the keys are difficult to read. I think it may be that the keyboard paint was damaged by some suntan cream when I was abroad.(I have heard of sun cream doing this to the paint in car interiors.)
Does anyone know if the keyboard is user-replaceable without a lot of brain surgery on the phone?Is a workshop manual available online? Is the keyboard a cheap part?

For starters i love this handst but getting very annoyed by this fault I keep on having.Pretty much i am on my 3rd N900 as my last two kept on telling me to insert a sim card when there was one in there which worked with other phones and other sim cards did the same thing in the phone. Also it is always loosing the signal.usually a quick reset fixes this problem but now this phone won't pick it up at all. It has had no signal for 24 hours. Sim works in other phones and other simcards have the same problem in this phone.
I have changed from dual to gsm and 3g but still no luck. Carphonewarehouse says it is a antenee problem but this has happened to 3 of them!! Any ideas, as i am looking to swap it for the Nexus One which i don't really want to do but will be forced to if none of you have a fix.

I wasn't sure how to describe the problem in the title, but the problem is since I closed the camera app half of the black soft keys background is always showing on the home screen and the lock screen. Like this:
I have tried to turn on and off the phone and so on. I know I can try a factory reset

This has happened to me about three times. I always manually press the power key to turn off the display and lock the phone before placing it in my pocket. Three times now, I have removed the phone from my pocket and found the soft keys lit up but the screen is black. The only key that responds is the power button... nothing else works. Every press of the power button toggles the soft key backlight, but nothing else. The only remedy I have found is to pull the battery.

Out of nowhere, the screen will not respond. I still have a pulsating blue LED and soft keys light up.
I've tried all button combos and still no success... Its running stock and no customization at all...

Found some old phones that i had, 3x W800 and 4x K750i. Basically they are in good condition but i just feel like painting them all in different colours so i could make good profit in selling them since these phones are old now.

Searching through the thread I have found many questions about office apps but almost none devoted to drawing, painting, diagramming (visio), and/or other graphics creation (other than camera pic aps). That being said, one know of any good ones for the Xoom?

i realy your help in this one, now i live in Lebanon, and i'm searching for a n900, but the other day my freind told that you can't check for your balance in your phone operartor, is that true, were i live, you need to recharge your phone in before you make phone calls, send messages etc, and to see how much dollars(or what ever its called) you still have in what you have recharged, you need to press *11# and than the green button, and than a message shows up showing you your phone operator balance, is it true that that can't be done on the n900? i like it how i can overclock the n900 from 600 mhz to 1000 mhz in less than 30 sec.

I am helping out a friend who has a Nokia 6280. She claimed that it's infected by a virus because her problems started after using a Bluetooth headset. I don't quite believe this as I've heard it's more likely to be struck by lightning than to have this phone infected with a virus. Anyhow, the problem is the following: When you power on the phone, you get the Nokia handshake, then the phone loads. However, as soon as the phone loads, a bunch of black lines appear to streak across the screen rendering it black. That's not a huge issue because it goes away after a few seconds. Now I've read this could be an issue related to the ribbon that connects to the screen, but the screen turning black does not occur in any other instance other than right after when the main screen appears. I can play with the slider all day and nothing will happen, but like clockwork the problem appears after the phone loads.What gives? The phone works fine otherwise, so what could the problem be? If you need any more information I will be happy to provide. I've uploaded a video of this issue here (using my 5800 XpressMusic at night - the quality isn't that great sorry, but it does show the problem). Pardon the audio - my kids were watching Spongebob Squarepants so you might want to turn the audio all the way down! I guess my question is two-fold:
1) can this in fact be the result of a virus?
2) if this isn't due to a virus, what is it due to?

Just switched from an ancien NOKIA to E52 and at the moment it's a struggle. I wonder if the white LED visible between the Home key and the Call Send key is normal. Sometimes it comes on together with the screen and sometimes it does not - so I guess it's not normal. And I didn't see it in any of the You Tube videos on E52.

Just got the X6 after having the 5800 for a while. With the 5800 if I entered a wep key for a WLAN it remembered it, and whenever I was in the area of said WLAN I could just click on the connection and go on the internet - with the X6 every single time I disconnect and re-connect it asks for the wep key again!

I bought a Lumia 920 5 days ago and I realized that the front keys (back, start, and search) do not light up. The only time it lights up is when I open the phone from the lock screen and it lasts about half a second. I also have a Samsung Focus S Windows Phone and the keys stay lit while I'm using the phone.

I have a Nokia N97 Mini, and recently i'hv been facing this annoying problem. The keys 'Z' , 'X', 'C' and 'N' are not working on my QWERTY keyboard!This started 3 days back, but somehow, the keys began to work again after a few hours. But then it happened again yesterday, and now, they are not working, even after a hard reset!

I am trying to re-install the firmware (v40.0.005) on my 5800 xm using ovi suite 2.1.1.1. but i keep getting the message 'INTERNAL your device could not be detected'.I have uninstalled pc and cable connectivity, along with ovi suite several times and then re-installed them but to no avail. I have also tried to re-install the firmware with and without the memory card but to the same end. Is this a problem with ovi suite, my device or my computer?

How would i determine what is causing battery power loss. The phone is 3 months old and within the last 2 days only has battery power for 6 hours. Is there an easy way to determine what applications are running without having to check each one. I have tried resetting the factory settings,but it indicates that there is an application or call that needs to be closed. There is definitely no call running so it has to be an application.

I have a Nokia E72 and I am otherwise pleased with it, but when the phone is in the jeans pocket keypad often opens by itself. It is not nice at all
I would like to know is there any possibility to change the keys that lock opens. Is there even theoretical possibility to change those keys? Clearly left softkey - right softkey combination is not a good option for me

I am pretty sure I am not the only one with this problem, and that the problem has been reported right here on these forums before.
Is there any fix? I have both a e71 and a e72 (the e71 LCD screen stopped working, I ordered a LCD replacement and am yet to try it out). Is there anyway I can take the e72's innards and put it in the exterior of the e71?
Why does this happen? My firmware is updated (Ovi Suite says mine is the latest), I have tried soft rebooting, hard rebooting, factory reset, hard reset, whatever possible "standard" solutions. Is there any real solution at all? It's kind of annoying especially for fast typers!

I find it very difficult to see the letters on the contact shortcut keypad - when you go to contacts > search (light-blue letters on two-tone grey background). Is there any way of changing this keypad colour scheme to something easier to see?
I'm fine with the normal qwerty keypad.
