Another N80 Problem!

Hi - okay found this other problem
when reading emails and sometimes writing or reading texts, as soon as you scroll down to read or write these messages, the first 1 and 1/2 letters of a line dissapear!! yes thats right, 1 and 1/2 characters vanish!
so you cant actually read the message properly!
does anyone know what the hells going on?
this happens all the time... its driving me insane!
as an example, this is a text i got today
(obviously i cant show you what half of a letter looks like, but you can imagine)
(obviously i cant show you what half of a letter looks like, but you can imagine, just cut some of the letters in half and you can maybe think what its like)

  • Another N80 PROBLEM (I think?)

    i was stupid enough to get an N80 on ORANGE... eversince the phones constantly connecting to orange internet without even a warning!
    has anyone else had this problem or do you think its the sim
    is there anything i can do to fix it!

    Seraphin,
    Dont know what your problem is but you seem to constantly be giving insults to people who dont conform to your ideas or suggestions here.
    I have spoken to many people who are not happy about the operator firmware because of problems it gives them because of restrictions and the way that the operator configures the phone so that you have to use their sevices, especially in the begining withought realizing and actualy being charged a large amount of money for these services.
    I made one suggestion that somebody can take or not, its up to them, not you..the suggestion wasnt meant for you.
    I know many people who have upgraded from network specific firmware to non network specific firmware, and some of those upgrades were done at Nokia sevice centers and the warantees on those phones are still intact. This rightly or wrongly has been explained to them by the NSC and if there is a problem with warantee then this is the problem of the NSC that the upgrade was made.
    please keep your personal insults to yourself, or as I have suggested to you before PM me and I will answer you directly, as you keep telling us to the point that its getting boring, these forums are for help and advice, I dont see insults either helpull or good advice.

  • YAPP (Yet Another Printing Problem)

    I've found another printing problem - this time with colour printing.
    To my
    surprise, Forte (3.0.E.0) can print in colour (at least on a HP 690C,
    using
    NT drivers for the 660C, the printer being connected to a Win95
    machine).
    I can print OK with from my NT develpoment machine in colour, but when
    running
    the same app from the Win95 client with the printer attached locally the
    coloured text disappears. Has anyone else come across this problem?
    Is this another of the 'Printing works fine as long as it happens
    non-locally?'
    features?
    Thanks

    I wonder if this is related to the printing feature I discovered
    where things I print from Forte have a strong tendency to come out in
    the same colours as my windows desktop, which is
    typically yellow-on-black.

  • Various N80 problems

    Hello all!
    I'm a new Nokia N80 owner.. I've used SE's for the past 6 years and thought it was time to move to a smarter phone..
    Well.. I've had the phone a month and it's all gone wrong, several times.
    Firstly my photos stored on my phone and on my 1 gig memory card were no longer showing up on the phones gallery and the only way to access them was to view through the File Mgr. application. This would take forever and a day to load... but eventually they did.
    I thought the smart thing to do would be to upload the latest firmware.. I did this and the phone died a horrid death giving me the 'Contact retailer' message after booting up.
    I tried the hard reset etc and nothing worked so I took it to carphone warehouse who told me it would be ready to collect free of charge in 24 hours.
    I returned the very next day to be told the phone had been sent away and could take up to 4 weeks.
    Anyway, last week Thursday I received my phone back and woopie, it turns on and functions.. only.. it functions to the extent it did before i tried and failed the firmware update.
    So.. my current problems:
    I cannot view images / movies in the gallery
    When I use the datacable it automatically disconnects itself just toward the end of doing whatever action it is doing.. such as:
    I tried to move the images from my phone to my desktop pc .. it moves the files then brings up the window to tell me it is deleting the files from the phones card memory.. around the 75% mark it tells me connection to the phone has been lost.. even if I do not touch the phone, the pc and am in another room! My USB sockets are fine it is not them!!
    PLEASE!!! Any help would be most gratefully received and I would do a big smile.
    Ta.

    Don't understand this: I've never had this problem with my N80 - even using old firmware.
    My guess - and that's all it is - is that maybe you had too many pictures for the gallery to cope with (the fact it takes a long time to open the directory in File Manager suggest you have a LOT of files in there) ..

    Usually this is because the connector at the bottom of the phone is dire. Basically, if you so much as breath near the PC, the cable or the phone you get a brief interruption to the connection and everything fails.
    Sounds like this may not be your problem, though. You could try uninstalling and re-installing the cable drivers on your PC, but I don't hold out much hope.
    I think I would go for using Bluetooth (slow, though) or a card reader (fast, if you have one but no good for synching contacts etc).

    In this case I would simply disable the delete option in the Image Store Settings and delete the pictures using File Manager on the phone - if you use Mark All and delete it's fast to do.

  • N80 Problem

  • Another N80 Bluetooth Post

    Hi Everyone,
    I have noticed from the debate around bluetooth and the N80 that there does appear to be a problem or two! I have searched through the forum and I cannot find a coherent thread, so I thought that I would post a new one! Although I don’t have a fix I thought that I would outline my findings.
    I have a Nokia N80 with the following details:
    3.0617.0.6
    03.05.2006
    RM-92
    Nokia N80 (31.01)
    I also have an Audi fitted Bluetooth car kit and the phone connects fine for the first time. After 3 minutes (or there abouts) my car kit tells me (with an auditory alert) that my phone has disconnected. It even happens if I am on a call. The phone then re-connects to the car kit (I get an auditory alert from my car kit). Then after another 3 minutes (or so) my phone disconnects again. This happens a total of three times before my phone stops connecting any more. Once this has happened I need to perform a reboot of my phone in order to get it to connect to any Bluetooth devices (I use one on my laptop). I am not sure if this helps? I am sure that I have seen a setting related to screen savers, however I have been unable to relocate it in order to make a change and see what the effect is. I would be interested if anyone has any ideas....
    Many thanks in advance!
    Matt

    One quick thing you could try.
    Look at the paired list, and is the car kit set to authorised?
    If not try setting this option. Could be the car kit pulses its BT connection, the handset sees it again and throws a wobbler. Wifes D500 did the same with my CK-7W until she eneabled that feature.
    If still issues, then likely the phone - assuming other phones work fine with the kit previously.

    }in another class A (the main class where i run everything) i created a new instance of dice and added it onto a JPanel.Also a JButton is created called roll, which i added a actionListener.........rollButton.addActionListener(B); (B is instance of class B)
    In Class B in implements actionlistener and when the roll button is clicked it should call "roll()" from Dice class
    Dice d = new Dice();
    d.roll();
    it works but it does not repaint the graphics for the dice? the roll method will get a random number but then it will call the method to repaint()???

            useFlintstoneWithReference(fred); // fred's the reference I"m passing to the method
            useFlintstoneWithOutReference();
    {code}
    can also be done with action listener
    {code}    private class MyActionListener implements ActionListener

  • Excel Readpage Save as another file problem

    Hi,
    I have attached the VI needed If you have any problems please let me know. This VI reads a excel page the user points to and displays the results. I have added a single cell where you can change the position of a single cell coordinates so that you can point to a single cell of your choice and retrieve that data. So my problem is now I want to save that data from that single cell to ANOTHER excel file. However, this is not working correctly for some reason I do not know why I believe I have done everything correctly hopfully it is just my inexperiance. I will continue to work on this and update it as I get more time but at the current moment I have hit a brick wall. I have visited the EXCEL BOARD and the vi is from there but I had to add somethings to it in order for it to work correctly as before it wouldn't even run because it was missing some connections and nodes.
    Attachments:
    ExcelReadPage.vi ‏45 KB

    I took a look at the toolkits. The VIs are there, the problem is that
    the linkages are a bit screwed up so the top-level VIs think the subVIs
    are in different places. Also, the toolkits were written using an
    older version of Excel, in which the "Range" object had the property of
    "Value". Excel 2003 uses "Value2". So, if you have Excel 2003 even
    after you load up the VI the "Value" property nodes need to be changed
    to "Value2". This is not a fault of the toolkits - this is due to
    Microsoft changing the ActiveX interface.
    As to your issue: Your basic steps are to:
    Create a new workbook
    Write values to cells
    Save workbook
    The "Write Table to XL" that ships with LabVIEW does that. Launch the Example Finder (Help -> Find Examples) and search for "excel". Then, open the "Write Table to XL". The "Table" control is the data that you want to write. It can be a single cell or multiple cells. If you have a single value, just make a 2D array out of it. As it's written it will prompt you if you want to save the file. This is from the "Close" method. You can wire a True constant to the "SaveChanges" parameter and a path to the "Filename" parameter.

  • Another connection problem (with a lot of solution advices tried o

    hi everybody,
    since yesterday i'm a proud owner (more or less) of a zen x-fi. the only thing that dri'ves me crazy is that i can't get it working with windows.
    first of all the system config:
    Desktop PC (P4 on 95P Express chipset)
    Windows XP Pro SP3
    Media Player
    i searched the web and am trying to solve this problem: "there was a problem installing ..." for quite a long time now.
    here's what i did up until now:
    - deinstalling Media Player and installing v0 - couldn't deinstall v
    - installing newest version of the WMP (v - 5th Oct. 2008) from Microsoft to get the newest MTP support
    - deinstalling the "Creative Centrale" and reinstalling it (at the moments it's uninstalled)
    - installing Microsoft User Driver Framework v.0 (wouldn't allow me - of course, because it's implemented with WMP or rather it's drivers are older)
    - setting USB ENUM to "read" and "full control"
    - deinstalling and reinstalling the USB drivers (motherboard support as well as chipset vendor newest drivers)
    - checking every single USB port (front and back)
    - settings for USB HUBs to "full power supply" (no Power Management)
    - reinstalled SP3
    - got all new Updates from Windows (critical updates) including all up to date .Net Framework versions
    - tried the Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit (quite sure that this doesn't do anything since it seems to be the sdk version and i know to little of programming to try something out)?
    - downloaded the fixup (found it in different posts to have been a workaround) and there was a little success: i got a working driver (no "there was a problem installing ...") until i realized that it doesn't show anything inside the folder (mtp/portable device) neither does it say "zen x-fi" in the device manager (it's only called "mtp device"). checked the .inf in the fixup package and realized that it couldn't work as long as i don't know the x-fi's Product ID, which i searched for on the internet (linux forums etc.) but the x-fi seems to be too new
    now: i of course tried it on another PC to be sure (Laptop with Windows XP Pro SP3 and WMP 0!) - and it works ...
    downside is: my library is fairly big and would fit on the Laptop's harddri've. i found a little workaround and imported the folder into the laptop's winamp library (via Network) and got some songs onto the Zen but it takes a lot of time getting them through the network connection (WLAN).
    as i see it there's only two chances: either the USB is not suitable (which i can't believe, since everything else that i attach is working fine and without any issues) or the problem has something to do with the Media Player's MTP.
    so does anyone have another idea or would i have to wait for either Windows or Creative to come up with a solution(maybe another hotfix)?
    thanks in advance
    regards
    al

    Ive been having hell with this aswell, although i think my computer is to blame. It "should" work if i could install wmp, but i cannot because my computer needs me to install some update rollup 2 which doesnt install and i cant install sp3 either... i've been contacting microsoft but they cant sort it.. maybe my pc is just reaching its old age and cannot cope with so many new things going on.
    but from what you have said i cant see why it shouldnt work with your current system.

  • N80 Problem. Pls Help!!!!

    My N80 has a big problem. After installing the latest firmware V5.0719.0.2 RM-92 through nokia updater, I cant hear sound from my ear piece. The keytone sound has gone eventhough is activited in the profile. I can only use the loudspeaker to hear sound and voice from call.
    Is it the firmware problem or my hardware????
    If it is the firmware problem, how can I reinstall the previous version?
    Pls help!!!

    Yes, that sounds just like a worn ribbon cable. Perhaps you should get it replaced. I am not sure where you are but supposedly it only costs RM50 (€12)to replace in Malaysia, so not too expensive.

  • Nokia n80 problem with bluetooth

    hello all
    i have an n80 which i have given to my mother.
    there seems to be a problem with bluetooth. i can connect it to my laptop by bluetooth and use the connection to browse the phone and transfer files but for some reason when i try to sync with outlook the connection always fails, all the time, no matter what.
    can anyone think of any reason for this?
    i have tried looking for firmware updates as i havent used the handset for 18mths but i cant find the pc cable so it wont identify the phone when i run a search.
    any suggestions (apart from find the cable!) will be appreciated

    Not being technically qualified enough on specifications of Bluetooth 3 all I can say is that Bluetooth SDP = Service Discovery Protocol seems to be absent fron N8, whereas it is present on say 5800XM and N97 Mini which appear to behave faultlessly with Toyota Bluetooth unit if this sheds any light.
    Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

  • Just another ANNOYING problem with internet

    Hello everybody !
    So here we go, I am another user that has problems viewing web pages. To make a long story short I would like to add that though I am not a system administrator by any means, I am an experienced user. So if I say for example "I did nothing but the program stoped working correctly" DOES realy mean that I did nothing at all (therefore it doesnt mean that I occasionaly pushed few buttons while viewing complex settings and then forgot about it).
    PROBLEM : Sometimes (randomly) I am not able to view web pages. The problem may disappear suddenly, but otherwise I have to reboot computer to solve the problem (untill it happens again. And it WILL happen withing ~30min...4 hours, so several times a day)
    I USE : Macbook air 2012 (i7 8gb if it does matter). MacOS 10.8.2.   Everything is up to date, I frequently check the system for updates.
    WHAT HAVE I TRIED TO DO TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM :
    1) I have changed the wireless channel so that nobody around uses the same one
    2) I have changed router and internet provider (well I did not change them, I just use my mba at office, at home and somewhere else. Each place has its own router (d-link at work and apple airport express at home) and its own provider)
    3) I have changed mtu (maximum transmission unit) to 1453 from 1500 by default (System preferences -> network -> advanced )
    4) I have tried different public DNS servers
    5) I did try to request DHCP once again when the problem appears
    6) The last but not least - I have tried different browsers (safari, opera, firefox)
    The only thing that works yet - reboot.
    MY STUPID THOUGHTS ON THAT :
    - This is not a router problem, because I have already tried about 4-5 different models, including D-link, Airport and Asus
    - This is not an internet connection problem generaly (I am able to use skype, teamviewer etc. while the problem occurs)
    - This is not a macbook problem, because if I boot Windows (via bootcamp), it seems like I do not face that problem at all
    As a result : this is a MacOS problem, and I have to look for fix inside it.
    SOME ADDITIONAL INFO :
    It realy happens suddenly: I am browsing webpages, everything is ok. Then bum - and the next page starts to load SLOWLY. Few more pages load SLOWLY (if there are pictures, I find "?" instead of them). And then pages stop loading at some moment. If I try to refresh the page, it might help sometimes. But then, finaly, I just lose opportunity to load web pages by any means.  
    The problem may go away for some time, but it will return for sure. Rebooting every time is incomfortable for me, since I have a lot of stuff opened and rearranged between different spaces (desktops).
    Thank you for your time in advance guys ! Hope some of you have already faced the problem and have found the solution.
    Thank you for your time guys.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' 
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”. 
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}' 
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' 
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Another iSight Problem

    iSIght will power up then after about a couple seconds will make a shutter sound and then shut off. All equipment and software up to date. My brother in law has had the same problem. In system proflier it recognizes the iSight camera. The only way to try to get to work is to unplug it and then plug it back in. Then the green light will come and then go off after a few seconds following a shutter cover sound. Any suggestions, Thanks, John

    Wow, same exact problem. Do these these things happen in waves?
    In any case, my iSight is not recognized as being there, or, in the case of iChat as "in use by another application". If I unplug the camera and plug it back in the green light comes on and there's a small whirring noise then the light goes off and again, the camera is not seen by any of the applications that I normally use with iSight.
    I've restarted my machine; nothing. I have not updated either my OS or QuickTime in a few weeks so that can't be the problem. It's irksome, though, to get one problem with iSight figured out (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=557615) only to run into another.

  • Another monitor problem, is it different?

    Okay, here's the deal- last night I'm working with Final Cut, nothing unusual, and my trackpad freezes up. While I'm trying to get that working again, my monitor goes out.
    It started by glitching a little bit, like when there's a storm outside and cable TV is starting to go out, and it gets progressively worse until the screen is just a bunch of horizontal lines with a refresh line making it's way up the screen every second or so. I tried restarting, and my screen came up black. It seems like everything's working all right, except for that (if i push f4 or f5 to change the volume, i can hear the beep, and everything sounds like it's starting up normally).
    So, like any normal person would, I panic, do a hard shut-down, and run to another computer to figure out what the **** I did. After an hour or two of reading, resetting my PRAM, NVRAM, and PMU, nothing's changed. Still a black screen.
    However, this morning I turned on my iBook, and it started up just fine. I was about 5 minutes into trying to back up my hard drive to my external when the mouse froze up, the screen went haywire, and it started all over again. this time, though, i watched it for a while, and it froze up after getting distorted, and started to turn a deep shade of purple, starting from the center of the monitor and going outward. I haven't read anything about that happening so far, so... anybody know what's going on, or what I should do?
    And, just a note: The computer itself is mostly expendable, I just need to make sure I can save my data. I have a lot of irreplacable video footage I'm trying to edit into a movie.

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    It sounds like you may be having logic board problems. Enough dual USB G3 iBooks suffered from this problem that Apple began the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program in January of 2004. Check out the FAQ page and if the symptoms look familiar, give Apple a call. If your iBook qualifies, it's a free fix.
    Since you are past the three-year time limit, try calling and asking for Customer Relations (NOT Customer Service--they can't help you) and ask them to please make an exception to the three-year limit in your case. Chances are good since you carried an extended warranty that has just expired, they will be able to help you.
    If you have access to another Mac with FireWire, you may be able to get the iBook to remain responsive in FireWire Target Disk Mode so you can retrieve your data by this method:
    If the iBook is on, shut it down and wait 30 seconds (or longer). Pick it up in your left palm to the left of the trackpad and squeeze the case there between your palm and left thumb as you push the power button and key combination to start up in FireWire Target Disk Mode. Do not let up the pressure on the case. Continue applying this pressure as you save your data to the other Mac. If you let up and the iBook dies or freezes, you will have to start over, allowing it to rest several hours or overnight before beginning again.
    Let us know how things go.
