[BUG Nokia E71] Issues installing themes or dictio...

Description: Trying to install themes (certified or not, doesn't matter) and/or official dictionaries on the memory card triggers an error at every phone start-up
Product: Nokia E71
Version: Any firmware up to v210.21.006
Reproducible: Yes, always
Steps to reproduce:
- Downloads the following certified theme and dictionary:
 http://mosh.nokia.com/common/download/374F626623007DD0E040050AEE0471E2/original/Dots_Blue_240x320.si...
http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/software/Nokia_Mobile_Dictionary_it.SIS
- Install one of them (or both) in the memory card. Turn off the phone and turn it on again.The error will trigger immediately, mentioning about problems during installing software from memory card.

@mickh1: please, don't try to suggest any other workaround. I've already tried installing the theme from PC Suite and the bug triggers likewise. This is DEFINITIVELY a bug and Nokia devs should investigate. The themes I've tried are all S603rd compatible and some of them were even tested on Nokia E71: the one I've linked is nokia certified, but you can for example try the Solace theme [1] that is uncertified but comes with special tweaks for Nokia E71. Please note I had a similar problem even installing official nokia dictionaries as I've stated, not only themes.

  • My Nokia E71 automatically deleted/removed some in...

    Good afternoon all. I had recently purchased a Nokia E71 and installed quite a bit of applications: From themes to instant chat Java based midlets signed and unsigned to various java based games (jar/jad). The problem is that my phone has some-how automatically removed some of these applications which I had installed without my knowledge?? I tried searching for them everywhere and cannot find them. They are just GONE!? When I tried downloading and installing 1 of those applications called Mxit it says "can't intall". This is extremely weired! All or most of my applications are saved on my memory card-I don't know if this has anything to do with it? But then again why would it only remove some and not all of them?
    I am going to perform a hard reset and format my memory card and see what happens...
    Please if this has happened to anyone else could you please give me an explanationas to how or why would such a thing like this happen?
    It either could be a virus but then my anti-virus should pick it up??
    Or if my phone was hacked by an external blue-tooth device doesn't my phone's blue-tooth have to be on for that to happen? or Visible?
    Maybe 1 of the apps I installed was faulty?
    NB. I did not update the firm-ware recently by the way for apps to go missing..
    thanks. 

    How do you remove your memory card?
    ‡Thank you for hitting the Blue/Green Star button‡

  • Nokia E71 Firmware Bugs - 210.21.006, 02-03-2009

    I've had the phone since it first launch shortly after middle of 2008.  Awesome phone!  No problems from day 1.  
    Unfortunately, right after i updated the firmware in March 2009 there just seems to be a list of bugs showing up.  Here's my list.  Hopefully someone can help or a new firmware will be released as soon as possible, as some of these problems are rather frustrating and down right disturbing.  And obviously you can't go back to the previous firmware.  Just to be certain, I reinstalled the firmware twice just to make sure it wasn't a 'bodgy first time install' issue. 
    1. Home Screen Notifications - Not there
    Problem: Apart from Calender Events, every day, the following will 'EVENTUALLY' not show itself:- new message, miss-calls, email 1, email 2, voicemail, miss-call.  They will not show irregardless of the actual events happening.
    How do I solve this?: I have to go back into 'enabled applications' and un-tick the above home screen events/notifications and then, re-tick and then click ok.  Only then, will these notifications re-appear.  Not really a SOLUTION as it will happen again within the next 24 hours or less.  This is SOOO annoying as I rely on the Home screen notifications for an update of what is happening.  How does one realize if there was a miss-call or message received if there's no visual notification and the sound is turned off?
    2. Auto-retrieval of Email 1 and Email 2 - Disables itself
    Problem: I have emails setup so that they check my email 1, every half hour and email 2, every 1 hour.  I have no actual issues retrieving the emails automatically.  Accesses and downloads nicely using my network.  However, EVENTUALLY 2 to 3 days later, the 'AUTOMATIC RETRIEVAL' disables itself.  Why does it do this?  Never used to.
    How do I solve this?:  I have to go back into the respective email accounts and their settings, and re-enable it.  Again, not really a solution as it will disable itself within a few days.
    3. Shortcut Keys on the Home Screen (left and right) - Does not respond.
    Problem: Every so often, the left and right shortcut keys won't work.  They are there, but if you click on them nothing happens.  Example. On my phone I have 'new SMS' (left) and 'search' (right). They will work for 1 or 2 days, maximum.  EVENTUALLY, when I click on either of them, nothing will happen.  I can see a very quick 'flash' on the screen as if something is about to happen, but..... NOTHING.  This happens also when I change the shortcut keys to open up different applications.
    How do i solve this?:  I have to restart the phone. No other choice. There's no way of going back into the settings and changing the shortcuts to something else and expect the left and right shortcut buttons to function properly.  You have to restart the phone!  Never used to that either.
    Having said all that, the previous FIRMWARE DIDN'T DO ALL THIS.  Is anyone else out there experiencing these same problems?  This NEW firmware UPDATE, has turned what used to be an AWESOME phone, into something that is a bit of nuisance.  
    Nokia please save the E71!

    Well, I do hope they provide a new firmware soon which will correct many of the current bugs, since I'm sure Nokia are aware that this won't push many to buy THEIR next devices, it will be Blackberry's or HTC, etc.
    My E71 came with fw 100.x... and I wish I'd never upgraded to 200.x...
    I'd like to think you'd get more out of your device with a fw updgarde but unfortunately you end up with a worse performing phone!

  • Nokia E71 - some serious issues, and Nokia doesn't...

    Well, I have owned the Nokia E71 for some weeks now, and while I must say that hardware, design, keyboard and display of this phone are well engineered, when it comes to software, there are many serious show-stopper bugs in many very basic applications which have been known for months and have so far not been taken care of by Nokia. New buyers, beware: 1) The Email-client has great difficulties coping with more than about 950 messages. After that, out of memory errors and lockups while deleting messages appear. Sometimes, repeatedly, all messages are lost. 2) The internet browser crashes at random intervals. 3) The calendar seems to sometimes produce buggy internal files, which in turn make the error intolerant sync-function crash when trying to transfer data to a PC. 4) The camera picture is very noisy in low light conditions and has a purple haze. The haze was finally corrected in firmware 210. 5) However, since firmware 200 the clock in not updated in standby. 6) Since firmware 200 the alarm repeat mode does sometimes not work when the phone was switched off and was not being charged. 7) When a software installation went wrong, on every startup annoying messages appear. Due to memory protection, this cannot be corrected from the phone, but only from a PC in mass storage mode. 8) When using mass storage mode, most menu item customisations are lost. 9) When doing a firmware update, all memory contents is lost. Users repeatedly have reported that restoring the necessary backup sometimes does not work, thus all data is lost. 10) The text color of the contacts list is always black. Instead of making this something dependent on the installed color theme, since firmware 200 the background in contacts is now always white, whatever the theme. Ugly. 11) Bluetooth connections are known to be unstable. 12) There is no stop-watch or count-down timer. 13) Hands-free volume is not loud enough. In short, if you want to use your Nokia E71 professionally, and not just to play around, think twice. Perhaps a Blackberry Bold or Curve are the better choice.

    I have read the whole of this topic with great interest. I haven't got an E71 yet but decided to look up a bit about it first before deciding whether it was for me. I have been using a T2 palm which is now ancient and coming to the end of its life so need something that is going to be as reliable as it has been in the past. I also wanted to consolidate my phone with my diary. I am now in two minds as to whether to go for a smart phone at all :-S.
    I don't think this discussion has anything to do with the decision as to whether to get a smart phone. It has to do with whether to get *this* smart phone. There are others, of course, and they should be considered. 
    The original question i was looking for on the forums was whether you can cut and paste entries in the calendar as that is something I use everyday, but now having read all the posts on this board I am worried that I will lose all my appointments and contacts!!
    You aren't going to lose your appointments and contacts unless you are foolish enough not to sync your phone with a PC and to back up that PC. If you have data  that you care about in any electronic device and you don't back it up and the device loses the data or you lose the device you have only yourself to blame. Presumably you sync your T2 (a fine device, I have one, and two T3s as well)? Well, do the same with whatever phone you buy.
    Can anyone convince me that I am doing the right thing in even considering a Nokia E71?
    You've read what's been said here. I think the summary is that the hardware is very good, Symbian is a solid OS, but some of the phone and PC software, as well as the (website and phone) support is slipshod (I tried calling Nokia customer service the other day and their phone menu system went into a loop!). My experience is that while much of this is annoying as hell, I've managed to beat this thing into submission and make it usable, at least for me. And I use it both as an organizer (I'm finding that I use my T3 less and less, though I still keep it up-to-date, because there are things it can do that the E71 can't) and a phone. One of my requirements was that I wanted an unlocked phone. Because I am a light phone user (also occasional user of the web browser and email client; rarely use texting), I have a pay-as-you-go account, which is far less expensive than the usual contract account. The E71 is available unlocked at reasonable prices. Something equivalent, like the Blackberry Bold, was twice the price when I bought the Nokia in February. The iPhone wasn't available unlocked. The Google phone wasn't available unlocked and the reviews were lukewarm. The Palm Pre wasn't available. Etc. The E71 seemed like the most reasonable solution for me at the time. Of course, I didn't know about the problems I was to encounter, but, as I said,  I've worked around them.
    So my advice to you is to look at the whole field of available smart phones, of which there are many, consider your needs and do cost/benefit analysis. I would include the E71 in your deliberations but certainly can't give it an unqualified recommendation. But I also can't say "you are completely insane if you buy this phone". It depends on your requirements and what you are willing to pay.
    I hope this helps a bit.

  • Nokia E71 trying to install something when I switc...

    I have just bought a Nokia E71 from a friend. For some reason I decided to delete apps I wouldn’t use and deleted Top Hits Solitaire and Global Race.  When I turn the phone on now it starts installing something and then I get a message saying “Unable to complete the installation from the memory card. To install remaining applications go to Application Manager.”  Could this be because I deleted the two apps?  Any advice as to how I can find out what it is trying to install and how I can  stop it trying to install it?

    X-plore is here: http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=xplore
    Y-Browser is here: http://www.drjukka.com/YBrowser.html
    Install any one of them (or both) as you like. Then, using the file manager, browse to C: drive and then to the folder named "Installation". You'll find some SIS or SISX files over there. Move them to another folder of your own (you can create a new folder for this purpose). See if this solves the problem.
    If you feel uncomfortable doing all that, I'd recommend you make a backup of all important data of the phone on to a computer first, just in case something goes awry. Good luck.

    If I install new firmware for my Nokia E71 will this unlock the network ?
    so it accept any Sim card ?
    where can I download firmware for this mobile ?
    and is it true that the latest firmware has a bug in it ?

    No, the firmware updates will come from your network, so it would not be unlocked. The firmware is installed via the Ovi Suite software or directly on your phone.

  • Nokia E71 multiscanner re-installed but not workin...

    HI
    I JUST FORMATTED MY NOKIA E71.
    AS YOU ALL KNOW , THE MULTI SCANNER DOES NOT SHOW UP AFTER A FORMAT.
    BUT WITH THE HELP OF GUYS ON THE NOKIA DISCUSSION BOARD, I FOUND A SITE TO RE INSTALL MY MULTISCANNER APPLICATION.
    IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM.
    BUT NOW.....
    EVERYTIME I USE IT ON A CARD... AND CLICK THE CAMERA... IT SAYS " READING CARD INFORMATION"
    AND THEN... BLANK... NOTHING.. IT READS NOTHING!!!
    PLEASE HELP!! 

    I have a similar problem with Multiscanner after installing Abby BCR on my N95. The test version of Abby stopped working after scanning a few businesscards and before the one day trial period was over with the message "no contact fields found". The problem is that the businesscard reader in Multiscanner also stopped working, I get the message "No layout blocks were recognized". The textscanner in Multiscanner still works fine, so suspect this problem is connected to Abby since both businesscard readers stopped working at the same time with similar messages. I've tried reinstalling the Nokia software on my phone and then reinstalling Multiscanner, but it still won't work. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

  • Nokia E71 Possible Screen Issue?

    Hey guys, I just bought an unlocked E71 yesterday. I'm just playing with it right now, and I noticed that the screen slightly flickers when u select "options" and the menu pops up. Is this a normal or do I potentially own a faulty device.

    I dont get any flickering on my screen at all.
    It sounds like there could be a fault to me, but without seeing it its not possible to tell.
    I'd take it to a Nokia care point for them to check it out.

  • Got a new IPAD and was charged 200.00 for all apps previsouly purchased!.  Has anyone else had this issue?  I went thru the appstore and clicked on already purcahed apps and "installed" them on my new IPAD and got about 50 charges all at once from ITUNEs

    After setting up my new IPAD2 I went into the APPStore and noticed there was an already purchased section, which showed all my previous purchases I had made and installed on my IPAD I.  IT gave me the option to "install" them onto my IPAD2 and there was not visual "COST" associated with it and it never prompted me for a charge althought I had to enter my account password each time.  Additionally I didn't get any emails like you usually do when buying an app.  A few days later, BAM! 50 charges or so totalling upwards to 200 bucks with no description other than ITUNES on my bank account so I can't even tell which apps they were for.  Is part of the public BETA cloud testing?!  I hope to god not, it caused my bank account to go negative and now I have many NSF charges.  I can NOT affort this.  I know apple has a disclaimer "No refunds" under any circumstance.  But as far as I"m concerned.  THIS IS THEFT!
    Please note the IPAD os version is 4.3.3 (8J2) which isn't a drop down option for my OS below... Figures.

    More update on y situation. Now on both the IPAD and IPAD2 I can not got to view my purchase History, it says it can not connect to the ITUNES store, but yet I can still d/l apps and can view my account etc etc etc.

  • IPhoto book issue - no theme installed?

    How do I install themes onto the mac to make books?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Nokia E71 Fading Text On Display

    Hello Nokia Owners,
    Hopefully someone has seen this issue and have an easy fix, as I'm frustrated about this oddball occurrence. I'm wondering if there's a QA/QC issue at hand where these are being manufactured?
    Within the past 6 days, I've purchased 2 brand new Nokia E71 phones from 2 different Walmart stores, 30 mins of each other.  These are phones for the Straight Talk prepaid service. I have not yet activated the phones on ST, as my goal is to first test the basic functionality to determine if it's worth the $200 and will satisfy my needs.
    What's happening on both phones, in the same exact manner and location on the phone, is that the menu title name for some menus have fading text. It appears as though there's a display issue. I've attached some screenshots to make it easy to see what I'm experiencing.
    However, when I've tested playing the included videos in the phone at full screen, it appears to play the videos through the menu title name area with no fading. The same goes for looking at images - I do not see any fading with the included images in that area.
    I have done a Soft Reset on both phones using the *# option and from the "Factory Reset" option in the menu. This has not resolved it on either phone.  I have also changed themes, changed menu colors, changed the font size, none of which has resolved this.
    Thus far, I've returned one phone to Walmart and ready to return the next one now due to this issue. I'm willing to try a 3rd but that's where my limit is. I really like this phone and want it, but if this issue is indicative of a fully dead or fading display after a short period of use, I will not make the investment.
    Any help is most appreciated.

    When trying to unlock the keypad using the standard two keys, the screen went blank then on, blank then on (consistently, like a flicker motion) with every key I hit to unlock. (I initially hit the incorrect keys to unlock the keypad.)
    Short answer: I don't know.  Other phones (the E52 and maybe the E5) have issues with the display lighting at odd times as the keyboard lock or phone lock activates (not typically when it deactivates).  So it could be a firmware issue.  But it could have also been a bad phone.
    AdriaticBlue wrote: 
    By any chance, have you performed a software update on your E73? That's the only step I have not taken, as it appears I need to activate the phone on service to do any software updates via TracFone.  I can (and have) tested the E71 on my WIFI connection which works great, but I cannot invoke a software update via WIFI.
    Mmm, you could try Nokia's Ovi Suite or Software Updater software for Windows.  Instead of downloading a small patch file, you'd be downloading a complete 50 MB+ firmware file instead.  You might see a message that no updates are available, but it would be worth a try.
    But something to understand about Nokia phones: they're all different.  You can have two phones with the same OS, released within months of each other (my T-Mobile E73 is very similar to the E72) and have very different issues.  Maybe they each get firmware releases at nearly the same time, and one update fixes a bug while the other includes the bug.  (I'm  exaggerating a little, but you get my point.)  The E71 is a feature pack 1 phone while the E72/E73 are feature pack 2, so while the phones share lots of surface features, their guts are often quite different.  For example, I get the impression that Nokia made substantial changes to the hardware drivers from FP1 to FP2, but not always for the better.  I have done several software updates to my phone, but have never seen the problem you described.  Hopefully it stays that way.

  • Nokia E71 sync cause multiple calender entries

    I've got a Nokia E71 and every time I sync between my PV (Windows XP) , Nokia E71 and my iMac i seem to get multiple calender instances of mainly repeating calender notes as birthdays and national holidays. I've tried to remove all the contacts with birthdays from my PC. When re-syncing the multiple calendar items will show up again. Seems that the PC and Mac read the calendar notes differently and hence after every synchronization add the same calendar series of i.e birtdays. Any solution to this annoying problem ?

    if you are only having a few of the units with the challenges, check to see if there has been any other apps installed that may have affected the MfE that you installed on them to interface wtih your exchange server.
    if there are no challenges there, then i would suggest uninstalling the MfE on the devices and then rebooting the device and then reinstalling it back on the device and setting it up again.
    i had the problem only one time in the past and changing the settings seemed not to fix it at all.  but restarting the process did.
    also, there could have been an issue with the coveraget those employees were in with thier handsets which could have prevented the unit from syncing, causing internal confusion, then trying again and backlogging the transfer....just a theory...as sometimes the network locks the data connection and while it shows that it is connected, it is frozen.
    may be a good idea to see where those affected units are "travleing" in relationship to each other to see if the coverage as stated above is an issue.

Maybe you are looking for
