Advice on n82

hi
just wondering if anyone can give me some advice i bought a new n82 (first nokia i ever owned) and straight out of the box i couldn't open the messages folder, i could receive messages but i couldn't read them or write any, so after searching the web i found the code to do a hard reset on the phone and after doing this the messages folder opens and i can read and write messages now ok. the thing is it takes about 4 to 5 seconds for the folder to open when i press the messaging key (top right button) i know i'm sounding a bit picky here but is it normal for it to take that long to open, i'm just comparing it to my other phones which opened almost as soon as the button was pressed. the reason i'm asking is i've being in contact with the shop i bought the phone off of and they said they would replace the phone if i wanted but it could take a few weeks, i don't think i would get it replaced if the 4 to 5 second opening time was normal i'm just a bit weary since the messaging folder was the one i had the problem with straight out of the box. anyway i would be very thankful if anyone could give me some advice should i keep the phone or send it back, everything else seems to be working perfect on the phone other then that
thanks for the help

Hittingray, the advice you are giving is ill-advised.
The phone's warranty is only valid for the country that the person buys it in. Sending it to another country will only lead to unnecessary expenditure and there is no guarantee the service center will repair the phone that's not meant for the country.
The best course of action is to send it to your local Nokia service center.

N82 all mkeys dont work (except on/off key)

Iam with a strange problem..
its my second n82 (new phone) and i think it comes with a problem..
when iam opening applications, pressing keys and making normal use of phone, it freeze and all keys dont work, only key that work is the power on key, and it change profiles, options only, i cannot turn off the phone, then i can remove battery or wait one or two minutes and it reboot, its a very strange problem because in my previous n82 i never see it happen
well, this phone only come with nokia maps in microSD card, it was firmware v10, then i updated to v30 and no luck, same thing happen, i`ve tried two different cards and it happen anyway, ive formated too with 3 key and *#7370#.
Have anyone experienced this same problem with n82?
Since that i have 7 days for exchange it by a new phone, iam thinking about this
Sorry my bad english

iam testing it without memory card inserted and by while its working, ive formated my 8gb card too and all looks good again, if problem comes again ill test without sim card (i never imagine that it can cause this problem, thank you by advice).
but i see people talking about nokia maps freezing, and first time that i open maps after 8gb card formatting it freeze phon.
only a thing: in my previous n82 i was using sandisk card, in this new iam using kingston. no sure if really the card was causing it

N82 Memory problem

My N82 has suddenly started to fail to send text messages. When I look at the details it says "memory fukll, close some applications before trying again" There are no applications open and, when I look at the memory information, of 1914MB capacity, only 249MB is used, leaving 1665MB free so the memory is obviously not full. I have tried turning phone on and off and reseating the memory card but this has not helped. Any advice welcome, I want to avoid re-formatting if possible.

Hi lindsayd89
If you go to Messaging > Options > Settings > scroll down to Other - How many = Number of saved messages and is "Memory in use" = "Phone memory" or "Card memory"?

N82 - Cannot Find File?

Hi chaps.
Just got an N82 and though I'm loathe to ask for advice, I am truly stumped on this.
I filmed a really cool video last night on the phone, but when I go to transfer it from my phone to PC via USB, it - and none of my photos - are showing up in the 'windows-->computer-->removable storage' filepath.
I am wondering if this is because the files are maybe being saved to the phone memory, rather than the removable card?
I am a technophobe, so any help is really appreciated.
Cheers,
ian

good luck to you, me got the same phone and this will be my last NOKIA in my life.i send in Nokia service centers for repair first time 3 days after having it and 4 times in six months, tomorrow go back agains, many problem this phone and It really wasting my time.

N82 screen not calibrated

Just picked up a shiny new black N82 on Orange yesterday, and as soon as I loaded some test videos onto it I noticed that blues are showing as purple, and its very annoying. Some other colours also look wrong, and it really ruins an otherwise great phone.
They were out of stock when I went back, so I don't yet know if its just my handset or all of them.
Any other N82 owners have the same issue?
Cheers
Barry

Yes, unfortunately this problem still occures on most of Nokia N series models that are using this type of display (2.4" active matrix TFT); actually there are 2 different types of TFT's: first of them showing natural sharp vivid colours, but the other one combines nuances of purple with all related colours (already felt it on my own **bleep** with two of my ex-phones N73 & N82 that were bought in a rush).
For sure you're the unlucky owner of a phone that has the second type of display built-in (
My friendly advice for you is to test at least two items when you'll go back to the store for your replacement. You also can ask the guy at the shop to replace your device when receiving a new lot of N82.
Good luck with your replacement and next days let us know what happened.

Problem with N82 (during update)

Hello, i have quite big problem. I was updating my N82 by NSU, then i saw a notification to unlock the phone (remove battery, put on charge and turn on the phone). I`ve don it but after i saw an error that my update wasn`t finished well. Now i can`t updtade it, i can`t even turn it on :/... Is there any way to fix it without sending to manufacturer ?
regards
Paul

First remove the battery for 5 minutes, reconnect the battery, connect it to your pc and run the updater again. Leave it for a few minutes and it should go into recovery mode.
If not disconnect it and try a hard reset.
Hard reset:
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
3. While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone.
4. Release when the phone shows the nokia logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
If that fails to fix it try the advice offered in this post by drummer27:
/discussions/board/message?board.id=swupdate&message.id=14152#M14152
If that still fails then the last option is to take the phone to a nokia care point.

N82 date and time can't be saved.

Hi all,
Just wana share my frustration with Nokia Care Centre, Im from Singapore and recently just purchase a Nokia N82,but after 1 day of usage,found out the date and time can't be saved into the phone,have to manually set it everytime i power on my phone, brought it to nokia service centre, was told there is no 1 to 1 replacement for newly purchased product. The service centre can't help,promised to fixed it in 3 days then on the 3rd day,they told me they still can't fix the problem and have to wait for another 5 days. Imaging buying a faulty product, and can't change a new one and have to wait for 8 days for repair...The service is really a disappointment, called Nokia Careline, they can't help either...i really regretted buying a Nokia phone, as a consumer i have no say in things, i get push around by Nokia staffs, any bright ideas who can really help me in Nokia? Its such a big and reputed worldwide company but yet the service provided by the customer care centre is really dismal. If their company CEO sees what i have seen in their customer service centre, i think he would have quit. Anyone have any advice on this?

Did it was ever fixed?

Viewing contact details takes along time. N82

Hi!
I've been having this problem with my Nokia n82 for a while now. Whenever I try to see a contact's number by selecting it and clicking it, it takes about 20 seconds before I get to the Contact details. The phone doesn't freeze though (I still see the cursor in the search field blinking and I can switch to another process).
Once I opened one contact details, opening any contct details is quick. Only once I exited and killed the process will it take a long time to open a contact details again. Is that normal?
Thanks!
Fred

Hi Jarda,
Thanks for your post and welcome.
Google uses a different naming scheme for phone numbers which does not translate to Windows Phone automatically. While some of the basic phone entries in Google Contact will translate to Microsoft account numbers other won't by default.
If you have access to software like Microsoft Excel or Libreoffice Calc you can fix this using the attached CSV file. This file has an account which is set up to use the default Microsoft Account naming for phone numbers. You can export your contacts to a CSV file in Google Contacts (More>export) then rename the phone descriptions as indicated in the attached CSV file and import these back into your google account using the Import Contacts... option. When done your phone numbers will be available on your Lumia after the next sync.

Go to Solution.

It's not a common bug in this version but you will need to reset your phone to get it to work again. Because of UDP reinstalling the firmware won't cure this issue.
Back up everything you need to keep then try the codes in order. If the first code fails to fix it then try the second then third.
Reset to factory defaults (*#7780#) : Restores settings but preserves user data (photos, 3rd party apps etc)
Reset (*#7370#) : This reformats completely the C: drive. All applications and files stored on this drive will be lost and clean default files will be rewritten.
Hard reset:
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
3. While holding these buttons, hold the power button for a second to switch on the phone.
4. Release when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
It may take a few attempts and very flexible fingers.
If that fails to solve it then something has gone wrong with the camera so take it to a nokia care point.

N82 - Removal of Front in order to clean Outer Scr...

A fair amount of dust etc has built up on my display so I would appreciate any advice on how to remove the clear plastic screen on the front of the phone, in order to clean it. On my previous phone, it all came off in one piece and it was obvious how it was removed but it does not seem to be so obvious on this one.
Any help would be appreciated.

Magnifying screen for N82.

I love my N82 but the screen is too small to be useful as Sat Nav. Could anyone tell me if there is some sort of magnifying screen you can put over the phone so you can see it more clearly. Thanks for any advice.

look at this post maybe it's for you.

HELP!!! I can't install and erase apps on my N82 (...

Hi! I need help! I updated phone software on my NOKIA N82 V 20.0.062 RM-313 and now upon install or erase appears "file corrupted" on every file i try to install or erase on my N82! I have 2times reset phone (*#7370# & reinstall software), format micro SD card but doesn't resolve problem! Sorry for my bad english Thanks beforehand!!!

firmware updates are uninstallable, "it's a one way process". my advice is to:
1- back up your messages and phone book only " don't make a full back up as restoring this might bring the problem back.
2- back up your memory card by copying and pasting your photos , songs and other user files to the computer, and format the memory card.
3- reinstall the firmware again.
4- restore your partial back up.
5-restore your user files to formatted memorycard.
6- reinstall your applications one by one.
the whole idea is to try to install apps on a clean phone registery.restoring backedup apps usually restores a corrupted registery to the phone.
Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

Please help - my N82 realplayer goes blank after 3...

now i know that the N82 may be considered a dated model by todays standards, but bear with me because i finally got one (and a used one at that too). two weeks into owning it and i love it already.
the firmware says:
v31.1.0.16
09.12.08
RM313
i've spent days checking out available add-ons, installing and uninstalling them (also hugely due to the advice i only discovered about installing to the phone memory for better performance). so i've pretty much got it up to the kind of phone i can be proud to carry around.
i face one problem - realplayer goes blank after 3 seconds of playing any video.
i did all these:
- dragged and dropped videos from my pc to phone storage (My Videos)
- copied videos to phone memory (My Videos also)
- converted the videos to mp4, and also 3gp using xilisoft converter before transferring
- tried using Nokia Nseries Video Manager. gave up because it was so user-unfriendly. i could only copy back to pc; i could not find any way to convert and transfer to phone in there
none of these could make realplayer play videos past 3 seconds. i could hear audio though.
the strange thing is realplayer plays when i click on a video in file manager. it does not auto rotate to landscape mode, and does not play more than the file i click on.
can someone help me? sorry i had to post here. i googled for answers, saw a lot of posts from n95 users saying the same thing but didn't see any solution posted. i could not find anything in the boards here either. i would much rather fix this single issue than to perform an update for fear of losing everything i have done in my phone so far.
thanks in advance

Thank you guys for all your solutions. Problem solved on my own (again).
Despite being smartphones, Nokia phones (well, mine anyway) behave erratically when loaded with applications and games, but most expecially with too many themes onboard.
Install one theme too many and you'll start seeing how badly the N82 copes with performing as it did out of the box.
I've had these few nagging issues, which I solved on my own without having to resort to a soft reset or a hard reset or a firmware update or a reformat like everyone suggests without thinking, THANKFULLY.
1. Realplayer doesn't display video in landscape mode
- Bring the number of installed 3rd party themes down to a minimum
- start uninstalling applications, beginning from the most recent one, and check realplayer each time.
2. Multimedia button won't bring up Gallery
- Bring the number of installed 3rd party themes down to a minimum
- Restart phone and see if it does the second time around
- Uninstall the most recent application/s and check again
3. "Help" is not accessible from the menu. It says "Memory full" every time
- Bring the number of installed 3rd party themes down to a minimum
- Start uninstalling applications again, and recheck.
4. Camera recording works fine for 10 seconds, then it stutters every 5 seconds
- If you are using a new memory card like I did, just perform a format from the phone and not the computer before using it. I used it without formatting it so it was my fault.
(but I cannot believe I had to find this solution outside the Nokia boards)
Do I hate my N82? No, I love it.
Do I hate encountering problems on my phone? Of course I do.
It's a great phone, capable of delivering more than other phones if you exploit it like I do, but I wish the developers have the decency to put up a list of common problems and fixes for the phones they roll out, not leave it the hands of discussion board "wizards" and "gurus" to solve your mistakes.
