Are u all happy with nokia N97 unlock method????

i wonder why so high end phone must press unlock side key to unlock phone.....why can't make it like iphone drag from left to right to unlock the phone without have to press any key....simple just touch the screen and drag bar to unlock the phone.....that all.....easy and user friendly.i see all forum discussion many complaining this issue....who the xXXxxx design and make it XXXX design......i really very disappointed with that....so high end phone (phone of this phone also very high) will ignore this issue....hope next software will update tis become 2 option 1 is unlock from unlock side key and 1 is touch screen and drag from left and right to unlock.
1 more useful plugin function is missing is count down timer....is it anyone know where is this function located.
Hope on next software updated will fix that 2 issue...otherwise on my next phone will not be nokia anymore.

The only reason I would think of for such a design is if the engineers actually designed it in such a way that, the side key you're talking about actually turns the screen off which saves energy and makes your battery last longer.
N97 users are welcome to confirm if this is true. I don't know much about the power consumption of touch screens but this theory of mine makes sense to me atleast
Show your appreciation. Hit that kudos button real hard

Still on the fence about the Nano? Are you all happy with yours?

Hi,
Is there a certain week number I should look for when buying the Nano like week 38 (that was mentioned for the Touch model before). I know some have had problems with a slanted screen as well.
How about the sounds is it pretty good? I saw one in the store yesterday but they didn't have earbuds out for it. I'm still between this and the Classic but obviously want good performance so will sacrifice space for that in the end. Are there still bugs with this one?
S.

I'm pretty happy with my 3G Nano so far. I got it about a week ago shipped from China (got it engraved from Apple). But my prior iPod was an original 1G 5GB iPod. So it's about 1/6th the size and has over 50% more capacity than what I'm used to. Battery life is a lot longer as well. The things I was looking forward to was the ability to view video and photos on a TV. So I'm most disappointed that Apple has locked the video out functionality. Only one reason makes sense for why they did that, and that is to stick it to their licensees so Apple can charge higher licensing fees for 3rd party iPod video devices. That decision can only frustrate and annoy iPod owners--expecially since even Apple isn't yet selling their own video-enabled cables yet (you can't find them in Apple retail stores and they're backordered for weeks on the Apple store.com).
My screen is mounted straight (In fact I haven't personally seen any crooked ones), and I've started subscribing to video podcasts and have been very impressed with the viewing quality on the 2" display. It's not that much smaller than the Classic, and though I would have loved the larger iPod Touch display, I just couldn't justify double the price.
The included games are okay. I probably wouldn't buy any new ones since the Nano is so small and the touchwheel is so low on the iPod that it cramps my hand to use it for extended time needed for a game, but that's just me.
I've heard the coverflow has issues on the Nano. But so far, I haven't encountered either the problem with coverflow lag or cover jumbling. As far as I can tell, since I've populated all the relevent track tages in iTunes they seem to group as expected for all my music.
Probably the second thing I'd criticize the Nano on would be the storage capacity. I was hoping for 10-16GB when Steve announced them. 8GB is a bit cramped for anyone who seriously wants to utilize it for music, photos and videos in my opinion. But I think I'll give iTunes synchronization a try and see how it goes (I've always managed my prior iPod manually) as far as maintaining a fresh source of podcasts to keep me interested.
Overall. The sound quality seems great. I'm not hyper-sensitive, so I don't hear any extra hiss in the audio at all. Though I've read that there are some audio-dropout problems once you start sync'ing photos onto the Nano (but I haven't gotten around to installing photos yet)
I'm sure there will be more software updates for the Nano in the future, I wish Apple provided some way to customize the view when an audio track is playing. I'd much rather have more song info displayed along with a head-on square view of the cover art, but I'd be surprised if any significant interface changes like that are ever introduced.
I must say, the Nano looked a bit odd when I first saw it online, but in person, it's really the nicest tiny iPod ever in my opinion.

Are you happy with your N97? (Psychomania where ar...

Are you guys happy with your N97s? Do you have major problems with it? (I have heard some issues such as connections to internet without user authorization and can't be turned off, do you have that?)
What about the white one? Do you think white one will be a dirt magnet? Any dirt problems with white one?
Thx

I cannot say that I am happy with my N97. i am returning to Nokia after many years using palm products, treo 600, Treo 650 and finally a Treo Centro. The principal reason for the change is that Treo don't do 3G and I needed a phone that i could use as a modem for my lappy when out and about and, quite basically EDGE does not cut it. So I have ben running a Centro fully loaded with apps for everything, editing, audio and video playback, turn by turn navigation with TomTom and an external GPS, audible audio books, lock down password app email and web. All solid reliable and verything synced with my mac and goosync. The whole lot cost about 320 quid. So I wanted a keyboard that put iPhone in the bin as well as its rather restricted availability. N97 looked like the real deal ut am I glad I got it as a vodafone upgrade rather than buy it myself!
problems so far:
1No real sync with Macs
2random lock up at end of call initiated from screenswwipe particularly if other app is running such as music
3persistent problems trying to get contacts onto the phone, it would not sync with anyy service, google, OVI ,goosync , OVI suite on PC, eventually yesterday I got a sync with PC suite after doing a factory reset so I now have contacts in the phone but do not have a reliable sync to update them or remote backup. The contacts app is also **bleep**. No findduplicates, totally unclear search that is not at all quick compared to the Centro
4 sat nav poor compared to tom tom, maps ( yes the latest ones) are at least 18 months out of date with road construction, search frequently fails to resolve destinations from downloaded maps or over the air and today dumped me 5 miles off target due to a bad postcode search!
5 random bugginess. this is occasional incorrect screen updates, failure to stop displaying nag messages in maps application and on many internet connected sites after you press the buton or tick the box not to be shown them again.
6 that side switch! absolutely useless. can't use it if phone is in car cradle. had to put nUnlock on this does work most of the time but not always, depends on what app is on screen when it switches off the lights
7 battery life absolute rubbish if you are using sat nav or playing music and probably using wifi. Also intermittent failure to charge from either the Nokia power adapter or a usb connection with a laptop, very annoying if you have left it charging overnight and you are travellin all the next day
8 could use a decent agenda view for the day like every other calendar app
9 phone, why does it sometimes use nokia tune insead of the ringtone set in the profile? no contacts have associated tone and this frequently happens when no caller ID is sent by the caller
10 essential apps that I have to pay extra for, PDF reader for goodness sake! free on every other platform! quick office, Functional docs to go free with treo!
11 generally poor and inconsistent user interface, though that may just be in comparison with mac and palm OS, did symbian hire ex microsoft programmers
To be honest I thought that symbian would be more polisshed than palm OS which is very many years older and runs on tiny processers and ram how wrong I was.

HT4597 After the move to icloud, I no longer have an address book synched. Cannot find a way to add i cloud on preferences/accounts either. I'm not at all happy with this transition.

You don't require Mountain Lion - you need Lion which has been available for almost a year.
Unless you are running Mac OS X 10.7.2 or later (Lion) you won't be able to sync iCloud with your computer. The iClous system preferences pane does not exist in ealier versions.
The Mac system requirements are all clearly stated on the iCloud pages, and in the support articles.

Nokia N97 -UNLOCKED from 3G.

Hiya folks!
Have recently purchased and unlocked a Nokia N97, now using o2 it basically doesn't want to do anything more than normal For example; if i try using Wifi, apps, it trys to do something via 3g but can't then even do that? Any ideas? Plus, as unlocked, if i ever did a hard reset or factrory restore, would it revert back to 3g?? I've SMS/WAP settings from o2 but still need 'something'?????
Cheers folks!

The phone is obviously not 'unlocked' it's just not contract. If you gointo connectivity, and delete all your Destinations then search for new, it should find O2 and work ok. You should also be able to contact O2 to txt some configuration settings to help you out !
Good Luck
PS there are other things you can do but you'd need to check the web as they can't be discussed or suggested on this forum

There has got to be a backup product out there to allow a system to be backed up to a NAS or Drive attached to a server that is as simple as CrashPlan or TimeMachine but that actually work and don't cost $50/month for a system.

CrashPlanPROe, the enterprise version, is $60 per year per client, not $50 per month, so it may be worth looking into. It's what we run and it's been working very well for us, though you need a central server to run the software. That server can be Windows, Mac OS X, Linux or Solaris, any of which will work with any of the supported clients:

Problem with Nokia N97

Hi,
My N97 went off all the sudden out of the blue so i tried switching it back on but it just froze on the welcome message (the blank screen saying "NOKIA") ...i've tried taking the battery out and putting it back in, connecting it to the charger, connecting it to the pc, but nothing seem to works!
Can someone help me please!
Regards!

hi @ all.
you are not alone with this problem.
when u browse google, u would see, that several n97 users have the same problem.
it must be a huge bug in n97 which nokia is not able to solve this problem during the last firmware-updates.
i have this problem nearly every 2 days when i turn on my phone.
i have the same problem and a little bit tricky solution to start your phone.
follow these steps:
1. take out your battery and insert it again
2. turn on your phone and wait until the screen became white.
3. take out your battery BEFORE the blue nokia splash appears!
4. insert battery again and turn your phone on once again.
5. wait up to 30 seconds until your phone boots normal and will have your pin.
NOTE: if this is not working at first time, than repeat step 1., 2. and 3. once or twice a time and then try to boot the phone completely.
it works fine for me.
BUT NOKIA MUST REALLY SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!
=======================================================
hi rande, I am afraid that the trick may not work on my phone. I installed
Nokia Messaging 10.1 and MSN messager again today and the same problem
occurs again.So it is reproducible.
Interesting, when I tried your trick the first time, it worked. I thought, at least a
handy work around is there, no more reset and reinstallation..
However, when I tried again, no matter how many times I repeat and how many different
combination, it does not work anymore. Take out battery when the
white is dimmer and full lit. Really disappointed.

Hi all problem with nokia n95

Just got a nokia n95 for xmas yeah lol.
But i am trying to update it. Ok so i have pc suite already so i plug it in via usb cable given. And i get this message.
the name is already in use as either a service name or a service display name".
It did this with my old phone nokia 6270. I can only use the phone in storage mode right now.
I am using windows vista. Any help would be great thanks.

Hi gooseuk
Unfortunately as O2 have been incentivising remaining stock of N95 on v12 software it has been speculated that v20.0.015 will probably never be released under this particular product code, which can be found on label under battery.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Go to Solution.

You could try a factory reset (which will delete ALL data on the phone and restore it to 'factory' conditions).
Settings - Phone - Phone Management - Factory Settings - Delete Data and Restore.
Try this first off. Re-sync your data and turn the phone off and on again.
If the problem persists, perform a factory reset and then re-install the firmware.
If you go to the 'software update' menu, you will be shown the firmware version that you are running. You will also be given the option to re-install the Belle firmware.
Re-install the firmware, then re-sync your phone. Turn your phone off and see if the problem persists, hopefully this will sort it out. If not take it to a Nokia Care Point and see if they can identify the problem.
You will not be able to reinstall Anna without reflashing your phone, however this will likely void any warranty and cannot be discussed on this forum.
The NCC may be able to reinstall the Anna firmware for you, however try what I have suggested above as you may have a corrupted firmware and re-installation may cure the problem.
Hope this helps.

Can photos stored in the new Apple Photos be quickly transferred to Lightroom? I am not at all happy with this new apple "fix".

Loaded and organized over 1000 photos into the new Apple Photos. It has virtually no editing capabilities and will not export directly to Photoshop. Can Lightroom import the files directly or do I have to start from scratch? Help! I have another 3000 to add and do not want the hassle of the new Apple "fix." Help?

If you want to maintain that workflow, thats fine, it makes sense to you and I can see an advantage. Personally I use both programs but for different content, never the same images.
To save you a step you could set up a watch folder in Lightroom and export your images from iPhoto/Photos into that. Although it occurs to me that if all you are wanting is to use the Develop Module then skip Lightroom altogether and simply use Adobe Camera Raw via Photoshop/Bridge. Lightroom is a catalog primarily and so is Photos. Mixing the two on same images is asking for problems.
Having said that, if you only have the perpetual license for Lightroom and don't own Photoshop, you don't have much choice.

Trying to decide 9650 or Samsung Facinate, are you happy with your BB?

Hi,
I am going to get my upgrade, and getting my first smartphone. I will be using for email, txt, phone, and a little web. Are you guys happy with the blackberry, or is it getting out dated and I should move to the driod platform? Was looking at the 9650.
Help

BlackBerry cannot be beat for instant email, texting (the Bold keyboard is amazing), call quality and battery life. Do you have friends with BlackBerrys? You can use BB Messenger to chat with them. In fairness, other smartphone platforms have instant messaging as well, but BBM is just easy and always connected, and you can see when someone has read your message (not sure if others offer this feature). And a big plus for me is I can stick a BB in my pocket and not worry about the screen cracking or scratching.
I wouldn't worry about the platform being outdated. RIM is still a strong contender because BlackBerrys just work the way they're supposed to. Get what's right for you, because these opinions constantly change. I still see lots of "Back to BlackBerry" threads.
Since you said "a little web," I think the Bold might be a good choice for you. If you were into heavy browsing, watching videos, or loading up on free apps and games, I'd say check out the Fascinate. If you want fun, innovative stuff that looks amazing onscreen, BB is not known for that.
As a previous poster said, try out both devices in a store. It's the best way to know. Good luck deciding!

updating to new firmware depends on product code which represents your region of purchasing, language pack and if it's branded or not .... so NOKIA releases firmwares and release it for every product code depending on mentioned points if ur product code hasn't the v.21 update, that means that nokia didn't release it for your product code yet or your phone is branded with an operator and that means that you should go to the operator care center
