5800 XM 3.5G issue since firmware 21.0.0.25

Sometimes I get a problem with my 5800 where the phone will show just the 3.5G icon with no arrows underneath - dotted or otherwise. If I try a data connection, say with the web or email, it will fail with "connection not available" or something like that.
The solution is always to switch the phone off and on. When it starts again I get the 3.5G icon, this time with the dotted arrows underneath. Then the internet connection starts no problem.
I've only noticed this since upgrading to firmware 21.0.0.25. 
Has anyone else seen this sort of thing? Is it a bug, or some config problem in the phone? Or it could be it's my network I suppose (Vodafone).
thanks

It sounds like you have the connection active all the time. This is decreasing your battery life unnecessarily.
Do this setting: menu > settings > connectivity > admin settings > packet data > packet data connection > when needed
Extended periods of idle connectivity can cause problems. With the phone set this way, you will only connect when you actually need the connection. The knock-on effect will be increased battery life.

  • Nokia E52 email issue since firmware upgrade (031....

    Hi guys,
    Yesterday i successfully upgraded my E52 to latest firmware - 031.012. After upgrade i removed all previous email accounts (1 MFE, 1 pop and 1 imap) and start a new setup.
    i have to mention, that i double checked that the email client version has updated to 2.1.0 (the old one was 2.0.5). There are also several visual changes during the email setup.
    Now here is my issue: I recreated my exchange email account and it works perfectly, but when i try to add a second email account (Email->New), choose one of the providers from the list (Windows Live for example) and proceed here is what happens:
    1. I get a promt to enter email address and password
    2.Then "Validating settings" and "Downloading terms" progress bars start
    3. After "Downloading terms" progress bar completes i am returned at the page where have to choose email provider again
    Is there someone with similar issue as mine when has upgraded to 031.012? I hope someone will give me a clue how to fix it...
    Thx in advance!
    Regards,
    Emil

    On E52 or E72 (I haven't checked on other handsets), The problem occurs only if you try to add an account which is previously registered on Nokia Messaging Website http://email.nokia.com/ or has been added as an additional account within the Nokia Messaging Account.
    Before adding/creating a new email account on E52 or E72, make sure the account has not been registered at Nokia Messaging Website or if it has been registered then make sure to delete those accounts before you add them in your phone newly.
    You can delete account from Nokia Messaging Website by logging in with that account first on the website.
    Remember that you have two ways to remove the account from Nokia Messaging Website.
    1- If the account was used initially to signup on the website (actual Nokia Messaging Account) then you need to login with that account and Cancel the membership. It will delete all the additional accounts if you have added any.
    2- If the account was added as an additional account in an existing Nokia Messaging Account, then again you would need to login with the Nokia Messaging Account and delete the account from the list as needed.
    Note: If you are wandering that you never manually registered on the above website by visiting it on your computer, then keep in mind that the account is automatically registered on the website when you try to add or create the account on the Nokia Email Client on your phone. This could probably be the case that you would have registered once in the past via your Nokia Email client or directly on the Website. In either case you would need to remove the accounts from the Nokia Messaging.
    I haven't read this any where but this is what I have got during fixing and finding the solution. I have created accounts on E52 (more than once after upgrading firmwares) very easily by following the above procedure. What ever it is, a bug? or an intentional reason, I don't know.
    I hope it could fix your problems with the New Nokia Email client built-in with E52
    Edit:-----
    Note1: You would have to wait for a few minutes after removing the accounts from the Nokia Messaging Website, before trying to add in your phone. 
    Note2: First add the Ovi Mail Account(make sure you have it signed-up and configured on http://www.ovi.com/) in your phone and then add any of the other accounts later.

  • Issue since iOS Update with TomTom Carkit

    Hardware:
    iPhone 4, iOS latest Patchlevel
    TomTom Navigation CarKit with integrated Speaker, GPS and Bluetooth connection
    I have got the following issue since the iOS Update to 6.x
    integrated CarKit Speaker is no longer in use=> After receiving an Email with notification signal the speaker becomes active => Makes the usage of a Navigation Software a little more complicated without spoken notifications
    Continuos Bluetooth Connection loss to the dock, sometimes followed by the message: Charging with this device is not supported! Could only be solved with undocking/docking the iPhone => complicated during driving on a motorway!
    Some apps are no longer able to start (mostly games for my kids).
    Has anyone an idea?

    Have you contacted Honda? Is there a firmware update for the car system?
    Sometimes this works:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    Sometimes an iOS updates breaks compatibility and y have to air for a firmware update to the car system or iOS update

  • Major iPad 3 WiFi connection issues since 5.1.1 update

    Prior to the 5.1.1 update (which ironically was supposed to fix wifi issues), my iPad 3 worked great.  Since the update it has been a complete disaster. 
    Even though it always shows a strong wifi connection, certain apps seem to have no connection while others work fine.  Safari usually works ok, although sometimes pictures won't show up - just a small box in the corner.  Facebook app always seems to have issues as does Pandora.  The biggest problem is the App Store or iTunes which say it cannot connect even though Safari works fine at the same time.  Ive tried reconnecting, rebooting, and I even bought a new router since I thought maybe my old one was causing the problem.
    Is Apple fessing up to this issue?  I have to believe it is a software/firmware issue since before the update everthing worked fine.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Email and Photo issue since update

    Ever since the 2.2 firmware update the images I email from my 3g iphone are displaying very low res on my wife's phone and vice versa. She emailed me some photos that looked fine before the update and now they are all pixelated. Has anyone else had this issue since the update?

    This is a known bug and the subject of a big thread here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1802430&tstart=45
    There is not much you can do about it other than hope for an upgraded firmware release.
    The photos are stored on the phone in the proper resolution, and you can copy them to your computer and they look fine.

  • TS1398 I am unable to connect wifi on my phone 4s since last 2 weeks... I am living in shanghai and did not have this issue since 2 weeks... iPad works fine... Please suggest some measures... Tried the on off reset settings etc.

    I am unable to connect wifi on my phone 4s since last 2 weeks... I am living in shanghai and did not have this issue since 2 weeks... iPad works fine... Please suggest some measures... Tried the on off reset settings etc. but no luck ...
    In fact after updating the software to the latest version I am having more of this... Sometimes the wifi button freezes an I can't even slide it to on / off...
    Thanks

    Noooo! Actually I too had d same prob wit my iPhone 4S. When I connect to my wifi network it won't get connected or it wil be grey scaled! I took it to d istore and since I had warranty they replaced my IPhone. It iPad charger has high volt than ur iPhone charger so when u connect wit it, there is a chance where large amount of current passes thru ur iPhone. So for sure it wil damage ur motherboard and its parts! Many said that iOS 6 or 6.0.1 or 6.1 was d reason for tis wifi prob! But apple never made its mistake wit it's software. If and only if u hav hardware prob u wil hav these sort of wifi prob Bluetooth prob! So best way s to replace ur iPhone!

  • Performance issues since upgrade

    I am on a late 2011 MacBook Pro and am having severs performance issues since upgrading to Mavericks. I fear my issues may be related to company installed anti-virus (which I cannot remove), but I was hoping someone could look over my EtreCheck for other potential solutions.
    One really odd issue I am having, which I cannot seem to find good information for on Google, is at least 4-5 times a day my Mac just stops. No beach ball, no anything, for about 1-5 minutes. Then it's fine. Maybe just me grasping at straws, but it seems related to a when webpage loads a bunch of images? I always use Safari btw, but testing other browsers, like Chrome & Firefox, it happens as well.
    I have also removed TotalFinder and have noticed no improvement and still have the above issue.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Multiple issues with firmware 2.0.1 update on iPhone 3G

    i ran the update the day after it was released and have experienced numerous issues since. first, none of my downloaded third party apps worked, they all crashed. i tried syncing, restoring from backup, and various other methods but the only thing that worked was restoring the phone to factory default settings and importing my contacts/music/etc. and manually downloading all of the apps. to say the least this has proven to be a very frustrating experience.
    now that my apps are working once again, the iPhone battery life has become atrocious. it used to last about a day, even with some moderate browsing, email checking, etc. now it lasts 5 hours tops from a full charge.
    i charged it at work to a full charge before i left and it literally ran out of juice by 10 PM. and this was with NO browsing or data access! something's not right.. it seems like the phone is staying constantly connected to wifi, even in "sleep" mode. it used to disconnect from wifi when in sleep and re-connected when i was actively using the phone, which is desirable.
    does anyone know how to get iPhone to disconnect from wifi when not in active use?

    i don't think the wifi connection is being disabled, because there used to be a momentary lapse between unlocking the phone and the wifi symbol appearing (presuming that delay was the time it takes to reconnect to the wifi).
    now, the wifi symbol is present immediately after unlocking.
    push is enabled, but i'm fairly certain it was before as well (when the battery life was normal). i can try to disable it to see if it makes a difference.
    ask to join networks is disabled.
    thanks for your quick response.

  • Various issues since Leopard upgrade

    I have just installed Leopard on a Dual 2.7 G5 with a 500GB Hitachi HDD and 5GB RAM and I have noticed one or two niggling little 'quirks' (I am lumping everything together here, rather than separating them in to more appropriate sections, so that I have a record of everything together).
    1) I have an Epson Perfection 4870 scanner which I cannot use to scan directly from applications (for quickness I mainly use Preview) as the 'scan' button is always unavailable (greyed out, not highlighted in blue). This has been an issue since at least 10.4.8, so it's not a problem exclusive to Leopard, but it's extremely annoying nonetheless. As I can scan directly from the Epson Scan software (which is basically the driver) Epson will not assist me further and have directed me to Apple/Adobe/MS, etc., for support. Prior to 10.4.8 (IIRC) I could select 'import' (from whatever application) and it would automatically preview, the scan button would then become available and hitting it would launch the driver software. However, the link between the applications and the driver seems to have been severed somehow/somewhere and it is no longer recognising that the unit has finished its preview in order to make the 'scan' button available for the next part of the process.
    In Tiger, I could also scan into Epson's EasyScan application, but have been told this isn't 10.5 compatible.
    Does the above make sense...? Has anyone else experienced this - and have you solved it? If so, how?
    2) This next bit concerns the Dock. I like to have it hidden along the left hand side of the screen, rather than at the bottom, because I only have a 17" panel and desktop space is at a premium. However, about one restart in five, it's back along the bottom and any icons or folders that I have added to it have gone AWOL.
    3) The third issue is a sound issue. I have a Revolution 7.1 card which I understand, from reading a notice on M-Audio's Web site, is not yet Leopard compatible (though the promise it will be "very soon"' though as the last driver release didn't support anything newer than 10.4.6, IIRC, I'm not holding my breath!)
    So I have removed the card and plugged my Logitech Z5500s back into the 'on board' card. This was working flawlessly under Tiger (I know because I tested it to make sure, because I knew that the Revolution wouldn't function under Leopard). However, whatever I try, I only seem to hear sound from the internal speaker; I even replaced the optical cable (at great expense - the original was a Belkin Gold Series, and so is the replacement and, at about £35 a pop, it's not a trivial outlay). Everything in the sound sys prefs is completely 'greyed out' so I cannot change it from the internal speaker to anything else. Whilst there is nothing on Logitech's Web site as regards to the Leopard compatibility of any of its products (it seems that it gave up on the Mac a very long time ago; I use a MX510 which was the last of their rodents to have any kind of OS X support and that stopped with 10.4.4, IIRC) I cannot see how a set of speakers, which should work with anything that has the required jack sockets, can be fussy about an OS. Incidentally, I also have a 'dark side' box running XP Home (when I win the lottery, I'll buy a Mac Pro and dispense with it) and they're plugged in there and work fine (via analogue, though, not digital).
    I noticed it when I received some CDs that I'd ordered from Amazon the other day and found that iTunes was playing through the internal speaker.
    4) The final issue is a networking issue. Under Tiger, I could (though it did take me some tweaking to get it working smoothly) dump things from the G5 on to the Windoze box and vice versa, without too many hiccups. However, Leopard is proving to be somewhat of a challenge, to say the least. I don't know how I managed it, but I did manage to render the machine completely inoperable at one point (it would only boot as far as the grey 'Apple logo' screen and I couldn't open the optical drive to stick the DVD in - a panicked phone call to a friend, who runs his own Mac repair and consultancy business, followed!
    I don't understand SMB and AFP (though I do know about FTP). In the Finder, I can see the 'doze box and can send things to it (though should I be connected as 'guest'?) but there is nothing on the Windoze side, save for 'Printers and Faxes'). I have made sure I have permissions set correctly and everything is set up to share (and Windows sharing is on) but there is nothing on the other box at all.
    Is it possible to share the main HDD across, or am I limited to this silly 'Drop Box' thing (which I did have available under 'doze at one point, though it was read only and I couldn't change permissions from Leopard because I didn't have sufficient privileges, even though I have an admin account and I could change permissions under Tiger with the same level of 'clearance'.)
    4) This final issue is sort of linked with 3) as it concerns what I believe to be erroneous error messages. I was clearing some stuff off a drive I was going to use for Time Machine[1], but I wasn't allowed to delete most of it because 'XYZ was in use' or open in an application. Six reboots later, I was still receiving the same error; strikes me that Leopard's got its knickers in a knot somewhere along the line because the files in question (mainly old Word and Excel docs) were certainly NOT in use as I didn't have either installed at the time!
    [1]Though having read the problems people are having with TM (not just here, but on other forums I read/post to) I think I might give it a miss and stick with ChronoSync (just have to wait for it to be compatible).
    So, this is actually the second installation, but the problems remain - any help out there?
    Sorry for the verboseness of this, but I wanted to make sure that I'd covered everything. I'm almost tempted to reinstall Tigger (but not quite - I like Spaces, and I like the Dock Preview).
    Cheers for any assistance, folks!

    Fran, I'm not sure I'm going to be much help for all your problems but I will attempt to answer what I can.
    1. Scanner problems - have you tried reinstalling the software? I know you mentioned that the easyscan software is not compatible but it sounds like the driver software isn't in the right place. Optionally another program that you might want to look into is vuescan. I have had good success with the program in the past but I have yet to try it under Leopard.
    2. Dock problems this sounds like either a corrupted preference list. But I don't have a clue as to why it might be reoccurring. Have you fixed permissions on your computer since installation?
    3. I don't have a clue to figure out how to fix this issue.
    4. Networking - As for sending things to the doze box. You don't need to be connected as guest. Just use the username and password that you use when you sign into the windows to sign into the windows box and you should have the same rights as you would as if you were using windows on that computer. Yes it is possible to share the main HDD but it isn't something that I would recommend. What I do recommend is creating a folder where you have both read and write rights to and then use that folder share items across both computers. If this isn't something that is going to work for then at the most I would just share your documents folder. You didn't mention how your trying view information on the windows side you should be able to browse your network and eventually find and see the mac.
    4 (part 2) - I would recommend something besides TM, it is designed to recover lost/accidentally deleted files. And isn't really designed for being your complete backup program. Yes, you can use it for that but I would recommend something more robust. Some of that comes down to how you want to define your recovery strategy. Superduper!, promotes themselves as having the ability to boot for your backup drive and being able to almost immediately get back in business. If this is a critical factor to you then I would lean in that direction. If you are just worried about having a backup of critical data files then Chronosync or some other program will work just as well. Also mentioned in your post in this paragraph is a description of "files in use" problems. A couple of things come to mind did you let spotlight finish indexing your drive before you tried deleting files? I've run into a problem similar to this in Tiger when I was deleting files while spotlight was indexing.
    One item that you didn't mention was what kind of installation you did when you installed Leopard. If you didn't do an 'erase and install" then that might be something to look into. First back up your computer before doing this. You might also want to run a permissions fix on your drive to see if that helps at all.

  • HT2458 Has anyone else who uses AT&T as their carrier been told if you cannot access your voicemail through your iPhone that there is no way to check your voicemails? This is an issue since I had to send my phone in for repair. Thank you

    You received incorrect information from AT&T.  You can indeed access your voicemail without your iPhone.
    Call AT&T at (800) 331-0500 (assuming you're in the U.S.).  This is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week number.  Ask them how to access your voicemail.  Normally, you would just do this by dialing your number from another phone, typing "*" once your voicemail recording starts, and entering your password.  You don't know your password, so it's probably the last four digits of your phone number or perhaps the seven - or ten-digit phone number.  Let the AT&T person tell you.

    Hey robr72339266,
    With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
    But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
    You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
    Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.
    Regards,

    I would restore with backup and if that doesn't fix it try as new

  • Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS

    Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS. Animation I was working on that had been performing in browser fine suddenly stopped working, and was not related to any action I had done at that point. Also was working in it today and program stopped responding to key board short cut commands.

    I am having a whole slew of odd interface problems with a fresh 2014.1.1 on a fresh macbook pro with latest Yosemite. Program locks up, cursor selections don't show, things disappear. I have a mac mini also and the program runs fine on it. Is there possibly something related to the solid state hard drive in new macs?
