9500 Communicator lack of support - USA

I purchased the 9500 Communicator from Dubai back in Nov 2004 while stationed overseas with the US military, when the 9500 first came out. I have been using the phone in the US without any real major issues. Being the clumsy person that I am, I have dropped the phone on several occasions. On one of those occasions the phone fell and the front face came off and so did the keypad. It was windy and the keypad flew away why it was not attached as one with the face place I have no clue, what was Nokia thinking? Still I was able to use the phone since I remembered where the numbers were on the blank keypad.
My issue with Nokia is:
I have been trying for over two weeks to get some one in Nokia (USA, Middle East and UK) to give me a Repair Service Center's address where I can mail my communicator. I need to replace the worn/scratched/broke front and back cover as well as getting the firmware upgrade [current version I have is: 4.44(1) ] and yes, my front cover has started to flop as well.
1) I do NOT care WHERE I have to send it, just give me an address!
2) Yes I know that it is out of warranty and that I WILL have to pay for the service and parts, FINE I will PAY, JUST GIVE ME A PLACE TO MAIL IT TO! This is the question I have been asking for ever it seems! What part of this request is not comprehend able?
3) Nokia’s customer support is so pathetic! All you get is the run around! Everyone is just trying to point the finger to someone else. I even tried to order just the keypad from the US and I was told there might be a difference between the US keypad and the UK version - I DO NOT THINK SO! I have been in the telecom & computer industry in both commercial & government/military for almost 15 years. It's not like the US/UK keypad is in any other language than English! The number 1 will always look like the number 1 in the UK and the US! What a lame excuse! It is like Nokia can not communicate with each other at a Global Enterprise level! Is this NOT a Global company? What type of message are you sending your customers and your investors? I mean just because there are regional subsidiaries should not mean that there is NO communications between other regions, or wait are Nokia's products NOT communications equipment? If they can sell communication equipment and can NOT communicate amongst themselves that's pretty pathetic! It is pretty sad that one customer service center has no access to the other. Have you not heard of the software like the Remedy ticketing system? It is great for supporting things like customer support even on a Global scale!
What should have been a mundane task of giving me an address has turned into a praying for a miracle to happen request! Why did this happen? Why should it go so far up to the next level? What type of changes in training is Nokia implementing if that?
Why doesn’t the Executive branch review the Operations & Maintenance (O&M) procedures to make Nokia more efficient? Do they not listen to what their customers and industry want/ need? There are so many websites that do reviews on products like Nokia phones, is there no group in Nokia that takes heed to what others think of their product and review them and if possible send those changes down to the research and development and production departments? I know I am not the smartest guy, but I think I have been around to know better on what things companies can do to create and sell their product and thus make a name and PROFIT for themselves! Currently in the US, Nokia's stock price is ONLY $4.00 (USD). I'll bet if they actually made better products, see where industry is headed, actually listened to their customers and did some really good predictive analyses in marketing they would be an even better company producing a much better product that would create a frenzy of people all over the world wanting to buy their products like the Motorola Razr mobile phone when it first came out!
It seems that everyone I have spoken to says the same thing: Nokia products are nice but they lacks features, standard operating system, availability of software, looks, and support!
Nokia is suppose to be a Global company trying to sell its products to people and companies on a Global scale. If you can NOT support your own product then how in the hell are you suppose to support your customers? I always thought that the 9500 Communicator was Nokia's top of the line product? Well if that being the case then Nokia SHOULD have top notch support for this product! If Nokia is suppose to be the Mercedes of mobile phones well act like it then! If you can not support your high end system then why produce it in the first place? There should be tons of competent technical support professionals, options, upgrades and accessories etc... if you want to make Nokia into an industry leader then you need to have a product that works well and is sought after not only by customers but also by your OWN employees and is supported well and get some real talented minds to think of some newer things to integrate in your phone lines. Basically the Communicator series should have EVERYTHING that the mobile business customer needs on the road without having to carry around a laptop!
Maybe on the NEXT version/ generation of Communicators they would have:
Vibrate mode
Voice recognition
Operating system should be Microsoft windows mobile based
More local storage especially for MP3s
Use ring tones
2.0 or greater Mega pixel camera
Mini USB connector
USB 2.0
Programmable soft keys
Newer Bluetooth for stereo headsets
A lit keypad for when the cover is open
An external keyboard that folds and you can use for emails/ SMS
802.11 (b/g/n) support with WAP/ WEP encryption
Colored face and back plates that are interchangeable
Touch screen would be an improvement
Larger capacity internal memory
Ability to block calls that were Unknown, or originate from blocked numbers, certain numbers/ certain area codes etc...

Hi
http://www.apps.nokia.co.uk/clubnokiaservice/
If you key in 'London' into the search box, you should get a list of Nokia service companies who should be able to help.
Although I'm not in London I have used similar 3rd party companies to do chargable repairs (eg when hinges broke!)
You could try calling some of the them to see how they might be able to help.
Good luck!!

  • DirectTV lack of support for Apple TV channels

    Is there a common site to file a complaint with DirectTV over the lack of support for AppleTV channels?  Or do I have to go to each channels site?
    Thanks for any help!
    Regards,
    -Brian

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The Apple TV 1 is very much different than the later Apple TV is. For a start it doesn't support homesharing or airplay. It doesn't have many features of the later Apple TV is such as iTunes march, MLB, WSJ, photo stream and others. Additionally, it does not support re-downloading of TV shows and movies (US only).
    It's also plays lower resolution video only.

  • Icon user here chiming in on lack of support from Verizon

    As everyone else, I've been waiting patiently for Verizon to release the 8.1/Cyan update for the Lumia Icon since JULY. I've shared the same frustrations that have been expressed on this forum countless times over the past months, but never felt the need to chime in until now.
    I've been a Verizon customer for around 5 years, starting with a Windows Mobile Omnia 2 and later going through an HTC Trophy, a Lumia 928 and now the Icon (since March). In all cases save for the 928, Verizon's support has been anywhere from non-existent to downright ignorant (Omnia 2 suffered from countless issues network connectivity-wise, which Verizon never managed to solve, Trophy never received the WP 7.8 update, and the Icon not only has been waiting for the 8.1/Cyan update for several months, but also got discontinued in about half a year after release. 928 at least received the Amber update in a timely fashion, but of course has also suffered from the same lack of support that the Icon owners have gone through.) To add insult to injury, Verizon has also offered far fewer options for Windows Phones over  the years than other carriers have.
    Despite all of these issues over the years, I always justified staying with Verizon due to my perception that their coverage was unparalleled. As I'm in the military and thus move around a lot, this was very important to me. So much so that I even chose to upgrade to the Icon instead of switching to AT&T despite currently being stationed in WV where Verizon doesn't even operate it's own network, causing me to have serious connectivity issues all over the place. I figured I'm only gonna be in the area for so long, and when I leave for some other assignment, I'd be glad I stayed with the superior network.
    Well, times have changed. First of all, when I first signed up for Verizon, AT&T's network (at least in the areas where I worked at the time) had a very poor reputation. Now, five years later, I've been hearing nothing but good things about them. Supposedly Verizon's network is on average a bit faster, but coverage and reliability-wise they seem to be very close. As long as I can get a decent signal wherever I go, I really don't care if my speeds are a little bit slower. I'll use my computer and ISP for anything that requires high speeds.
    I was still willing to give Verizon a pass on the delays with Cyan as long as they released it by the end of the year, but my eyes were opened by two events, one of which just happened today. First, was the very abrupt discontinuation of the Icon, THE flagship Windows Phone device. Then today I walked into the Verizon corporate store in Petaluma, CA (currently training in the nearby area) asking if they had any information about the timeline for the Cyan update. The guy at first seemed friendly and went into the back to talk to someone with more knowledge on the matter. He then came back and told me the most far-fetched line yet. He said Microsoft was discontinuing the Lumia phones and going forward was only going to provide updates to the HTC and Samsung models. Whatever the case, Verizon was not responsible for the updates. I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of this nonsense, and told him No, Microsoft bought Nokia, and the Lumia devices were simply being rebranded as Microsoft. In no way shape or form are they being discontinued. Well, he must have been insulted by getting corrected, because he then said to me and I quote: "I don't know, why don't you just go read about it on the internet then.", and began to walk away.
    I have come to realize I've been putting up with Verizon's ignorance and lack of support of the Windows Phone platform for half a decade because of an illusion of supposedly better service! After all this time they haven't changed their ways and show now signs of changing. Sticking with Verizon is only going to result in more headaches, delays and disappointments. After my encounter with the representative in the previous paragraph, I stopped him and asked to talk to the manager, because I wanted to make sure I was getting the most authoritative answer I could get to my next question. I wanted to confirm that as a Verizon Edge customer, if I paid off my device in full, I could leave their network for another provider at any time (somehow I overlooked this fact when I signed up in March. I chose Edge simply to give me more flexibility with upgrading my phone), and she confirmed this was the case.
    So to conclude, I have decided to wait until the end of the year. If by then Verizon has not at the very least provided a firm date for my Lumia Icon to receive the Denim (yes, Denim. After all this time, only updating to Cyan is not going to redeem them in my eyes) update, I will pay off my Icon, and switch to AT&T. Quite frankly, even then I think there is a high chance I will end up switching after my phone has been paid off in the normal timeline, because I feel there is no basis for me to trust Verizon with behaving any better in the future, but if they want to have any hope of me staying on as a customer, I better have a firm date for the Denim update by 2359 on 31DEC2014. I can understand delays, but I will not stand for Verizon's lack of communication to their customers. In the end I will vote with my wallet.

  • SQL Azure Support Team And Lack of Support.

    Hello,
    I purchased an Azure Support Plan seeking help as a
     Developer.  For more than two Month the Azure SQL Engineers failed to help me. 
    I wonder! Is my case beyond help or Politics and racism are involved.
    1-    
    My site has a political message. It is about launching a much needed political movement in the Middle-East. The Site invites people to register as members and hopefully bearers of this Political Call. 
    This Political Call is not to the comfort of some powerful groups that could be behind the lack of support that I am getting. 
    Details of the case.
    2-    
    On my local machine, the process of posting a completed Registration Form is completed without any error and the data is stored on the local MS SQL.
    3-    
    When posting a completed form over the internet, however, one gets a blank page and the process of Registration is aborted.
    4-    
    The Connection String that connects my Asurewebsite to the already linked Azure SQL is not formed correctly, and so I believe.
    5-    
    I used “MSDeploy” to upload the site to the Azure Platform, “All the files and the MS SQL”. 
    On the Azure remote, I already linked an Azure SQL to my Website, 1gb and paying for it. This Azure SQL copied its schema and data from the MS SQL that “MSDeploy” uploaded. 
    On the Azure Platform, I can manually access my linked Azure SQL Database, edit its schema, as well as, the
     listed data included during the process of uploading.
    6-    
    The Problem: The process of linking the Azure SQL to my site generated the required Connection
    String on the remote, however, the Connection String of my Web.Config file on the remote still refers only to the uploaded MS SQL.
     Believing that this could be the cause of aborting the registration process I decided, after many unsuccessful attempts to include the Azure generated Connection String to the Web.Config file, to seek the help of the Azure SQL Engineers by
    purchasing an Azure Support Plan as a developer, more than 2 Month ago, and paying for it.
    7-    
    I submitted a Ticket, asking for help to connect My Azure Website to the already linked Azure SQL using the already generated Connection String. 
    Instead of focussing on the connection issue the MS Azure SQL Engineer kept asking me to read irrelevant, mutually referring
     and retired articles including one that deals with how to connect to MS Server 2005. 
    Many emails were exchanged for about 4 weeks and absolutely there was no intention on focussing on the Azure SQL connection need.
    8-    
    Three weeks ago, I submitted another Ticket, voicing my displeasure of the treatment that I received.
     However,  the second Support professional kept trying to pass me on to other people, departments and finally suggested to set up a Tele-conference that includes many participants. Believing that it is another way of avoid
    the issue,  I insisted on only discussing my SQL connection need, but this insistence was completely ignored.   Details of the
    Site are:
    A-    
    The URL of the Site is:

  • Searching for My lost Nokia 9500 Communicator

    Hi.
    Thanks for your support.
    I lost my Nokia 9500 communicator two weeks ago. I have notified the police, but I haven't received any news till now. Is there any technical way to find its location and recover it?
    I have backup stored in my PC. How can I preview these files on my PC to get my contacts and messages?

    The only way to find the phone would be if the network (some operator) helped you to trace the phone by its IMEI number. Most operators have the knowledge to do so, but they will probably only do it if they are looking for heavy criminals.
    Also the tracking from the network is made so they check which base station the phone has had contact with the last time and then try to use the signal from the other base stations to decide in which area the phone are. This method is not so precise. Depending on how close the base stations are it can be from 50 to 2000 meters that they can decide how near the phone are.
    As there are many phones that get lost/stolen I think operators will not help with this ever.
    Since the phone also doesn´t have any GPS hardware built-in it is impossible to say where the phone is, since the phone doesn´t know where it is.
    Depending on which version version you have of PC Suite you should only be able to restore that information to another phone. Probably you somehow might be able(I´m not sure if it is possible) to open the backup with some program or convert the backup file and open it up in some other program. I suppose the names etc. will not be so well structured when you do that since there will probably be some kind of binary code "messing" the information up so it is hard to read.
    Hope this clarified some things anyway!
    Regards,
    Henrik

  • Lack of support for Canon G7 and G9. Alternatives?

    I am really disappointed about the lack of support for the Canon G9, and looking at the list of compatible cameras (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306835) I notice that Canon G7 - even if it does not have a RAW format, is not supported either.
    I am thinking that the purchase of the G9 may have been premature and that I may need to sell it and get another cam that is supported by Apple/Aperture.
    What would you guys do? Is there a cam out there similar to the G9 at the moment that has a Apple-supported RAW format?
    Best regards,
    Kjell Are Refsvik

    I think the camera closest to the G9 that has RAW support from Apple are the Panasonic DMC-LX2/Leica D-Lux 3 twins. Don't know where you are, but in the US, the Panasonic costs about $400. 10MP, 28-112mm (35mm equivalent) Leica lens, very compact body, and RAW output. The Leica costs $599, and has that classic look.
    I don't know much about that cameras, but you may want to investigate.

  • Business Preorder - Lack of Support

    I wanted to express my disappointment with the lack of support from Verizon. I decided to take part in the iPhone 6 preorder Friday Morning. I got my order in at 2:14am Central or 12:14 pacific. This was only 14 min into the preorder. I took screen captures of the summary page and of the status of the model when I placed the order. For some reason there was an error with my order. This error had nothing to do with my side but rather Verizon. Our account page indicates a 9/19 delivery but at 12:57pm on Friday we received an email saying that the date was 10/21. I have been trying to get an answer since Friday afternoon and this was the response that I got back. I can understand making mistakes but the unwillingness to make things right is what frustrates me the most.
    As you can see from this screen shot the order was placed 14min into the Preorder.
    After the order was placed I took a screen shout of the inventory page.

    Hi Christine,
    but in the BC case you need to remember one more thing...
    JDK 1.3
    from java.sun.com
    J2SE 1.3.1 has begun the Sun End of Life (EOL) process. The EOL transition period is from Oct 25, 2004 until the General Availability (GA) of the next Java version, Java SE 6 (code name Mustang).
    so even if SAP will provide any updates it may not
    work with unsupported java right ?
    and java SE 6 will probably be sooner than
    end of BC support I believe

  • Xmod Issues & lack of support

    !Xmod Issues & lack of support? After trading FOUR emails with Creative Tech Support to find out why my USB powered Altec Lansing speakers do not work with my Xmod, and asking for possible solutions (the only one being I have to buy ANOTHER pair of non-USB powered speakers), I finally received this reply...
    "Thank you for replying to Creative Technical Support.
    With regards to your inquiry, you do not need a power adapter for the
    Xmod cause it is only USB powered. Meanwhile, you can connect your Xmod
    to a powered speaker system.
    If you still require assistance, please reply to this email with any
    previous correspondence to ensure the quickest and most accurate
    service."
    Wow, not only can they NOT answer my question, but they don't even know their own product!? If it is ONLY USB POWERED, then why are so many people complaining in the forum about having to buy yet another $40 a/c adapter to meet their needs. I keep reading over and over about not using the forum for tech support issues, and instead,?that you should direct specific tech support issues to the Support re
    ps.
    Good luck on THAT one!

    Hear, hear...
    Since I don't see the Xmod anywhere on Creative's product list, well, should I...conclude it's now an orphan?
    Consider also this response when I got desperate enough to actually try the 'knowledgebase': "There are currently no Knowledgebase Solutions for?Xmod Wireless" - how can I not conclude that there simply IS no meaningful tech supportI mean...REALLYNothingIndeed, it does seem like an orphan - but if there ever was any online documentation worthy of this engineering effort, why would it have been removed?
    Mine came with LOTS of plastic bags and unnecessary packaging, but as far as paperwork goes, was conspicuously lacking in anything other than a barebones "quickstart"-type guide: ?just one folded sheet in each box (trans & receiver), with half of even that tiny amount of info devoted to languages other than English. ?Assembly was self-explanatory and simple - but that's all these silly little guides cover! ?Use of most features was absolutely baffling - it's like I am missing some software that should have come with it, but didn't, and there's no mention of it in the scant guides I have. ?Remotes have buttons for features like "menu," "display," etc but even with the USB connection in place and the device recognized, there doesn't seem to be any downloading of software that would make such features functional. ?It'll play my music from my player software, but there sure isn't any other usable remote or even wired control - other than the power button.
    Update: ?OK, there's a little more info available... but that's only if you find the pdf on the Creative website (and your pdf software is working...which mine wasn't) but still, I emphasize, it's only scant info. ?
    I at least found the audio setup instructions for use on my PC's Control Panel, but:
    1) ?My standard (Logitech) wireless mouse now works like sh*t (totally unacceptable now, unless I disconnect the Xmod USB)...so what, do I have to go back to a corded mouse now?
    2) ?A number of remote functions don't seem to work right, or at all. ?The FAQ on the online pdf includes this gem:
    Q: ?Why can't I access my media player?s functions with the remote control?
    A: ?With some media players, some functions are not accessible via the XmodWireless remote control.
    Would it have blown your testing budget to have maybe LISTED some of the players that DO and DON'T work right with this deviceOr do I have to figure this out by trial-and-errorI currently prefer "MediaMonkey," but it seems as if a bunch of those remote functions don't work with it. ?Will I ever know what the "menu" button is supposed to do?

  • Lack of support for rosetta in Lion

    with the lack of support in Lion for Rosetta (so the rumours go) how am I fixed with my epson 2400 scanner an HP 5552 printer?

    You should look at the current drivers available for both devices, if they're supported in Snow Leopard upgrading to Lion should probably will not affect them however we won't know for sure until Lion is released. You can find the devices currently supported at:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
    BTW I don't think Rosetta has anything to do with drivers for scanners and printers. If you are using Epson and HP software that was written for PPC based computers then you may have a valid concern. You can always voice your concern at www.apple.com/feedback.

  • Lack of support & answers for Twist 7705... any he...

    There is a serious lack of support for Twist 7705 users. I'm trying to do a simple transfer of information (some music and pictures) from my computer to my phone and have had terrible time!
    The memory card "says" it formats, yet when I check the card (using a universal card reader) there are no folders (gallery folders) as should be created when formatted
    There are no USB cables for this phone, not even on the Nokia website. And buying a cable from another company is useless because there are no drivers to allow it's use. I purchased a micro usb cable and wasted my money.
    When searching this site, for drivers, it says to use PC SUITE, then asks you to choose your phone, my model isn't suported on the software.
    This company is seriously lacking in the technical department. You shouldn't release a phone, advertise it's abilities, knowing full well you haven't provided the tools to use the phone to it's fullest.
    I've been trying to do this since November 1st when I bought the phone. Absolutely ridiculous and frustrating.

    Actually figured it out on my own..
    Connect USB cable to USB port on PC, connect other end into phone
    Go to Menu>Settings&Tools>Tools>USB Mass Storage, then click OK
    Your PC will install it's own USB Mass Storage Device driver, wait a min or two and a new drive letter will be visible in your "My Computer" window
    My drive letter was G:\ and it said "Removable Disk (G: )"
    Double click on the new "Removable Disk" icon and right click inside the window and select New>Folder 
    Name this folder "my_music"  (lower case, and include the underscore ( _ ) 
    Drag and drop all your music files into this folder
    Next, push "Cancel" on the Nokia and go to Menu>Media Center>Music & Tones>My Music
    press the right softkey for "Options" and select 1. Scan memory card for new music
    Hit OK and now your music will be visible and playable from the phone!
    I haven't messed with downloading pictures to the phone, but I would assume that creating a "my_pictures" folder might work.  Just a guess
    Nokia needs to include a more helpful manual with this product if they aren't offering online support or FAQ's for this model

  • Can Apple comment on their lack of support for burning CD-TEXT?

    Can Apple comment on their lack of support for burning CD-TEXT?
    I've been getting the runaround from the support people. They said to resolve my issue check out the following kb articles. The articles were aimed at giving me more information about ID3 tags and formats that I care about. I just want my burnt cd's to work in my CD-TEXT capable cd player.
    I've done this using alternate software packages so I know my hardware supports it. I'm really looking for a complete solution for myself (techie) and my wife (non-Techie) to use and make us both happy. I have to admit, this really bothers me.
    I know I'm not the only person asking about this. Please add the support for CD-TEXT to I-Tunes.
    Thanks

    Apple people don't comment here, it's a user to user forum.
    But you've got me interested. CD-TEXT, what is it? Should I just look it up in wikipedia or do you have a better explanation of what it is you're after?

  • M57 and any graphics cards - total lack of support - and do not buy

    well just been in touch with support to find out if a new bios is coming out to support graphics cards that most people have. (HD5450 nothign over powerful) Sorry not suported in any way, only 3 crappy cards are supported officially. Basically told to sling hook Remind me not to buy IBM again from the total lack of support or updates.PCI-E standard - not if your IBM 

     WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!!!!!!! I have eight (8) of the ThinkCenter M57 6072 HDU running BIOS 2RKT64AUS.  I have E8400s in a couple of them @ 3.0 GHz from the stock E7200 2.66GHz.  Paid $65 each of the M57s at an online goverment surplus site. The machines are used by our kids for general homework and League of Legends, Warcraft, etc. The onboard graphics would not run these games. Purchased a ASUS Radeon HD 5450 Silent 1GB DDR3 64BIT PCI-E DVI-I HDMI HDCP Passive Low Profile Video Card for about $35.  ***FAILED TO POST***. Purchased a VGA GIGABYTE|GV-N640D5-1GL RTL  (NewEgg or NCIX) and it installed, posted, booted, and graphically scored 7.1 on Windows Experience Index and over 1300 on  Perfomance Test 8.0 from Passmark Software.  Card cost $100 (not on sale) Also purchased a pair of non-matching GT630s (~$65-100) and a GT610 (~$55)  to try along with the GT640 but when they all came I started with the GT640 and never looked back.  RMAd the others and bought six(6) more GT640s; only six(6) because I killed one of the motherboards updating the BIOS with the E8400 installed!!  Only Flash with the correct CPU in I guess. I also intalled a ASUS Xonar DG 5.1 Channel PCI Sound Card 24BIT Dolby Digital DTS 105DB SNR W/ Headphone AMP for $35 and it went in the available PCI slot and now these machines rip and scream. The slowest part of these machines is the memory and the HDD.  Easy to put in a nice SSD if someone wanted.  And I might experiment with the E8400 machines with some faster memory. These machines are so well built as far as the modular little cases go.  Cheers all and GOOD LUCK!
