C2-03 Hugely disappointed - very poor phone

Having struggled with a Samsung D780 for several years because Nokia did not produce a dual SIM I waited months for the C2-03 to become available in UK.  I finally and eagerly got one from Singapore and what a disappointment it is.  I do not want a smart phone or a music player or anything complicated - just an easy to use dual SM for work and personal use - and I felt sure Nokia would provide that.  However the C2-03 fails in many respects, the most obvious is the truly dreadful touch screen which is so insensitive to scrolling that I am selecting all the time when I want to scroll because the select is TOO sensitive - and the sensitivity appears to be non-adjustable!  This alone makes the phone practically unusable but other features (or lack of them) such as the inability to turn either SIM off (meaning I cannot avoid receiving work calls when I am at home) and very basic things like the inability to select multiple messages to delete and the inability to set a passcode to be required only when the phone is turned on, mean that this phone is truly appalling!  Never mind multi-media this piece of equipment does not even function well as a basic dual SIM phone. 
Until the Samsung I always used Nokia phones because they were clear, easy to use and reliable.  Unfortunately I seem to have wasted £90 on this one and will be going to another manufacturer in future.

Thank you for your suggestions Mahayv, unfortunately I can find no sw updates for the C2-03.  Nokia UK does not recognise the phone at all and Nokia Europe says there are no updates.  On one of the Asian sites I found a function that told me that the latest version is v06.97 (mine is v6.51) but also states that there are no updates available.  Do you know where I might be able to find v06.97 or other updates as this phone is driving me mad!
As for you psychomaniac, judging by your 24,000 odd posts you obviously have a lot of problems and too much time on your hands.  My advice would be to get a life and but out of other people's business.

  • My iphone5s continually drops calls and has very poor sound for callers sooo disappointed compared with iPhone 4 from which I've just upgrade

    I am so disappointed as my iPhone 5 s is very poor for calls and repeatedly drops calls. I've contacted Orange and done a reset to factory settings with no improvement.These calls are to landlines. My iphone4 was excellent in comparison . I've requested an Apple support call tomorrow - any other suggestions  or similar experiences? Call bars are much lower too on this new phone and wifi fails too with frequent fail to connect to server messages. I so regret having this phone..

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • Very poor customer service email received back on my cell phone!

    I want to complain about whoever responds to questions you post on the forum. I won't tell you the "fake"name. She sent me one email and said I sent my questions to the wrong place. I replied and told her I didn't know. Said I should have used the forum. I replied again to her email on my cell phone and said I was sorry didn't know where forum was and that she had not answered any of my questions. She immediately replied, I'm NOT INTERESTED IN THESE EMAILS ANYMORE, OR WANT TO CHANGE HOW OFTEN THEY COME? UPDATE YOUR EMAIL PREFERENCES.....OTHERWORDS "YOURSELF".
    You all are there to HELP, at least I thought so. I am very frustrated and disappointed in this reply. I am going to report this to a manager if I have to!
    I replied to her, thank you for not HELPING me (just to kind of be nice about it).
    This is totally uncalled for....Verizon needs to shape up or you are going to lose a lot of customers!!!!!

    Brian68, Thank you for your reply. But that is because most have a 2 year contract and can't afford to go elsewhere. I'm sorry for being so firm, but I think Customer Support is a thing of the past. Thank you anyway. Hope you have a wonderful day! Dianne

  • Im using phone 3GS 32GB, my signal was very poor but whenever i insert my sim to other phone, there's no signal problem.. When i change position, the signal suddenly dropped. my software version now is 4.3.5.

    GoodReaderUSB originally worked by transferring files to a special location on a user’s iPhone, which iPhone’s GoodReader app was able to access. However, accessing this location was a violation of Apple’s iPhone SDK Agreement, because the app had to access files outside its own private storage space, which is forbidden by Apple.
    Because of this, your only choice to fix this. at this point, may be to restore your phone as a "new" device in itunes and NOT from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone. Unfortunately, ALL saved data on your phone will be lost.

  • BT Infinity - Very poor latency during peak times....

    Hi guys,
    I hope that you can help. I am a little bit disappointed with my connection at the moment. Let me try and give you a breakdown of the issue so that it may help you distinguish where the fault may actually lie.
    I have been a user of the BT Total Broadband service for a number of years. My ADSL 2+ has always been great, 18Mb Down, 1Mb Up. Latency has always been acceptable, ranging from about 30ms off-peak to about 50-60ms on peak for a server that I regularly game on.
    BT infinity very recently became available in my area, the promise of a faster connection for little or no additional cost was a no brainer considering the quality of the connection that I have had from BT up until now.
    The line was installed with ease and for the first day it was truly stunning. 50Mb Down, and 12Mb Up seemed brilliant, Latency also improved, dropping down to 15ms off peak, and 25-30ms on peak. For the first day it was absolutely stunning.
    Since then, its just gone wrong, Most people would be happy with the connection, but I am not as I know that the service provided to me is/was better than that supplied to me by BT infinity.
    Now, when running the speed checker, the speed is superb. Day or night the speeds are pretty consistant, never really dropping any lower than 45Mb Down / 10Mb up, it’s the latency that is the issue! Off peak, it can be as low as 10ms connecting to these servers, on peak it now shoots up to over 250ms between peak hours, making gaming near impossible.
    The speed and latency tests don’t really help either (such as the BT speed test, pingtest.net and speedtest.net)
    All three during peak hours report 45+Mbps downloads, 10+Mbps uploads and response times of sub 25ms. The problem is however, is that these tests are not really that accurate for the internet experience that I am getting
    The speedtesters and ping testers are using best-case servers for the results, these resulting servers are therefore held within the BT network, and that’s why these speeds are great.
    As soon as a server is outside of the BT Network, its poor. Very, very poor indeed.
    As my latency is so good within the BT network, I can’t see there being any issues with the line. Not that it has stopped BT from running a new line from the cabinet to my house, and patching/checking for wet joints before they supposedly put this new line in. From my understanding it has to be BT’s connection out to other nodes on the internet.
    Every time that I speak to BT by phone, they don’t seem to understand the problem as my speeds and latency are fine – (and on the BT WAN they are) – yet in reality the connection is very sub par.
    My gaming server however seems fairly happy, like I say my old BT adsl 2+ connection to it always seems stable.  I have even ran tests via a neighbours ADSL2+ circuit, and a 3g Dongle simultaneously as my infinity check Both still report < 60Ms response times during peak hours (when BT Infinity is 250Ms+ at the very same time)
    Can any of you guys please shed some more light on the problem, and more importantly what I can do in an attempt to resolve it. There are not many LLU’s here, so changing ISP is not really an option for me.
    Has anyone from BT Infinity had this problem, and was able to resolve it. If so how did you resolve it? Maybe I am explaining the problem to the their Customer Services Teams incorrectly?
    I asked them to define what latency meant, and their answer was totally incorrect. I cant help but feel if I keep calling them (and they don’t understand my problem) it may never be resolved as a result.

    That is what i thought! If there were errors or collisions down the line, this could effect latency. i know my latency to most of the BT Wan is spot on.
    That said, thats what IP Profiles / BRAS is for, to drop the speeds on your line if required to ensure quality of bandwidth for the line in question so that collisions / packet loss does not occur, it downgrades automatically, so why force it even lower!?.
    I dont want to say I know BT's job, as I dont. but I would like to think i have a fair understanding of how networking works - It seems that BT Customer Service, and even the engineers speaking from me from their 2nd/3rd line support teams should really be re-educated on providing factual information to their customers rather than hoping that I dont understand what they are waffeling on about!
    Most of the delays are much higher in BT's infrastructure. Not that they will admit it, i think their 'no throttle policy since 1st Feb 2013' is far more relevant than my line and its connection to the WAN

  • Iphone 5s not picking up home Wi-Fi and/or very poor signals even in downtown area

    Switched to Verizon and bought IPhone 5s less than 3 weeks ago. It was fine the first week then suddenly it won't recognized my home wi-fi and got very poor wireless signal. I have my old IPhone 4s and it works fine like a charm for wi-fi. It keeps reloading and not pop up any wi-fi signals. I went to the mall and normally it should pop up multiple wi-fis but it didn't. However my ipad did. I keep trying to reboot it or even reset it to factory settings and still doesn't work. Then yesterday my calls keep dropping in the middle of business conversation. This is unacceptable and no one seems to be helpful at Verizon. I even took screen pictures throughout the day yesterday to show when suddenly my home wi-fi popped up and a minute later it disappear. This also a domino effect for my photo stream, icloud back up, and most importantly my data plan. Now I can't even use my paid home wi-fi and use up all my data plan with Verizon and none of them care. I almost feel like switching to other providers. I also see that this is somewhat common to IPhone 5s with their troubled software or signal chip but not getting help from Verizon is the worst.

    I downloaded the Speedtest app on my iPhone and iPad and would randomly test one right after the other. I accumulated about 5 tests a day on each device over the course of 3 days. I set up an appointment at the Genius bar. I told the Genius that I set up my phone as new and then showed him my comparisons of the Speedtest on both devices. He handed me a new (non-refurbished because it hasn't been out for long) phone, no questions. Apparently it was a hardware issue and not an iOS 8 bug.

  • Blackberry Link for Q10 with Outlook Sync has very poor performanc​e and not good Functional​ity

    I am wondering if anyone has tested this software. Blackberry Sync software for my previous phones were wonderful. I can sync my contacts and calender in a very short time. With this new Blackberry Link it takes about 1 1/2 hours Plus to complete. And when it does complete - it duplicates entries which I did not want.
    Plus what is missing is the following:
        1. I am not able to say Update both Device and Outlook any longer. This functionality is gone.
    My question: How does it do a two way sync if I only have a choice to use what I have on my phone or on outlook only
    I want to be able to update my Outlook contacts with changes and addition I made on my Q10 phone and update my device with changes I made to Outlook.
    Why did Blackberry remove this very flexible choice? Plus Blackberry Link has very poor performance.
    I work for a large company and I do Enterpirse Software testing daily. Performance is the number one complaint for customers on top of the UI and functionality.

    Thanks for the reply.

    A thing I noticed when I opened Descktop Software for the first time since the new Z30 is that the old application thinks it is looking for a Z30.  I havent even opened the application since before I got the new device.  The only way it could think I have a Z30 is if it is using a lot of the same files as Blackberry Link.   That is some pretty terrible software development practices in my opinion.  I'm going to take your suggestion and uninstall both apps, run a registry cleaner and reinstall BB Link and I bet it works a lot better afterwards.  
    EDIT 12 March 2014 7PM EST
    Still all of the same errors with regard to syncing outlook contacts and Schedules.  I will post all of the error messages I recieve here as I see them.  Application is always started by connecting device with USB cable.
    "Sync was unseccessful
    Caught _com_error exception. Description(): Error in MAPILogonEx: MAPI_E_CALL_FAILED; Error(): -2147467259 (0x80004005); ErrorMessage(): Unspecified error; Source(): XCPCRdmptn.RdRDOSession"
    REBOOT
    Change to sync contacts only, 1-way sync to computer, always use device data
    "Sync was unsuccessful
    CPreferencesManager: Configuration Value for /Preferences/Account_1_65537/DevicePin not set in TransConfig.xml for translator RimBB"
    REBOOT
    Application went through the whole process and hung for about 15 minutes and then completed successfuly syncing contacts only.
    Change to callendar only.  Sync completed successfuly.  No hang or errors. very quick.
    A new recurring appointment on the device was not transferred to the computer.  
    Sync callendar again, completed successfuly.
    Appointment is still not transferred to computer.
    So far I've spent an hour tonight trying to sync my contacts and appointment changes from just one day.  I'm not thrilled.

  • Anyone having problems with there iphone 5 battery life been very poor

    cheers, Danny

    Yes a lot of people are having this issue it's from the ios 6 update. Some users are reporting battery drains a lot after updating their device
    There have always been a lot of battery problems posted about in these forums following each and every iOS update.  Personally, I believe that the battery really isn't discharging any faster, it is just that the charging circuit is confused and needs to be reset. I always perform a setup as a new phone for major updates, for example iOS3 to iOS4, 4 to 5, 5 to 6, which should be a 'reset' for the charging system, but I do a simple update for point releases--6.0 to 6.0.1, etc.  I have never had a problem with battery performance when performing the full update as new, only when I did a 'normal' update for a point release.  If I perform an update with a restore from the old backup after a major update the battery problem did appear.
    After every iOS point update I always do a full reset--home and on/off buttons held down until the Apple appears--three or four times over the course of a couple of days.  I allow the phone to fully charge overnight every night.
    This has always resulted in 'normal' battery life after one or a few reset cycles.  By 'normal' I mean that a fully charged iPhone, with email and other notifications enabled and set to push, and no particular attention paid to battery conserving techniques, will discharge to about 89% over a 10 hour day.  If I make a few phone calls and surf the web a bit then the level has fell to 70% or so, but unless I heavily use my iPhone 5 it doesn't drop below that point.
    Prior to performing the resets the charge level would sometimes drop into the 50's or 60's or even lower in a few hours without using the iPhone.  This problem 'scenario' has happened with every iPhone I have ever owned and I've owned all but the original iPhone.
    As always, YMMV.  I make no claims as to its usability for anyone else.

  • Why is the signal at my home so much weaker than when I moved here in February 2013?  I only get one or two bars and very poor data service if any at all.

    Why is the signal at my home so much weaker than it was when I moved here in February 2013?  I get only one or two bars and very poor data service if any at all.  Calling to ask the question results in a vortex of questions that have little to do with the problem and no  resolution or answer.

    I have a Droid Ultra phone.  The signal reduction seems to only be in the general area of my home.  If I go downtown, the signal improves to what it once was at home.  Everything at my home is as it was when the signal was good, including cable TV service.  There has been no new construction in the area that I know of.
    Thanks for trying to resolve the issue.  Just this morning while trying to view web pages, I found that I could not load any.

  • WRT610N...very poor signal

    I recently purchased a WRT610N to replace my WRT160N because my new 2.4ghz baby monitor took down the wireless internet on the WRT160N. On Linksys' recommendation I also bought a 5ghz wireless adapter for my new Dell laptop, a WEC600N (previously I was using the internal 2.4ghz wireless on it which has now been disabled). I am finding that the WRT610N is giving me very, very poor signal when I'm only two rooms away from it. I have unplugged all of my cordless phones and that does not improve the signal so I do not think they are conflicting. Nothing else is wireless in my house (except the baby monitor which operates on 2.4ghz) so nothing should be conflicting. I have talked with Linksys support twice online and they had me change some settings in the advanced wireless tab but that did not help. Anyone have any ideas? This is very annoying and I hope to get it fixed soon. I can get two bars of signal (and that's about the best I can get) if I'm one floor down but if I'm on the same floor as the router and just two bedrooms away I get such a poor signal I can't even connect. Thanks!

  • Very Poor Call Quality

    Last week, a technician came to my house to resolve an internet issue.  He resolved the issue by installing a new box in the basement.  However, I believe this caused another issue.  After he left, my phone calls immediately were of very poor quality.  I called tech support once, and the issue seemed to go away, but later that day it came back.
    Basically, When I'm on the phone, I can only hear every other word the other person is saying.  It makes some calls impossible to comprehend.  This problem is not consistent.  It seems to go away and come back. 
    I called tech support again.  They reset the service to my house.  I checked all the jacks and did a bunch of monkey business at their command.  The problem has not been resolved.  I plugged my phone directly into the box downstairs and the problem exists there too, so I know it's not the wires in my house.  As I'm typing, I'm on hold again waiting for tech support to answer (I'm using a cell phone because my landline is useless).  This is crazy for the price I pay.  I expect better service than this. 

    Hi BrunoSal,
    Are you still having this issue?  We'd love to have a look at it for you if it's still occuring, just let us know
