E71 BUG

I have just buy the new nokia e71 and I Have found this bug:
- I can't send to two or more contacts "business card" to another nokia... (only to one contact)if I selected two or more contacts and i press send "business card" not appear
- the contact list is obsolete... in fact I can't see all "group" at the same video screen... i must search group as a contact name by scrolling list. n70 group view is better
- back light keyboard malfunction... when there is low light (twilight) not always back light is on...
- the contact list not function very well if windows live is installed... some time the phone reboot automatically
- some time the text in the upper screen (menu title)present a suggestion....
- calendar: month view is very slow when i scroll the day....the entries appear very slowly

I agree with almost every comment on the phone book system...
It is really useless in many perspectives even with respect to the S40. I mean, it should be way better than the most, cause this concept is for "business" (I assume the E71 UI is same with my E66).
The same goes with the messaging application too. You can't even see how many messages in the folders and how much space they cover (Unlike new generation S40s). It's like they never thought of it.
Additionally, you can't change the type of the phone numbers under contacts (S40 can do).
When it comes to the back lighting in darker conditions, I think it is a feature that comes with the phone.
In dark, you don't need to have the phone screen glow too much. So no need to spend energy.
You know these devices have light sensors (E71 also has one, right?)
I really hoped for a new firmware, but the fact is, E66 and E71 are kind of successors to E51. Haven't they noticed these issues with E51?
I don't know if previous E series have these stupidities...
I don't have further hopes for Nokia anymore
There are so many things I used to perform much faster on my simple (S40) 6300. So?
Business Smart Phone? So much for business...

E71 BUG - Contacts sync with MfE: Notes simple for...

I have set up notes per contacts in Outlook. When I synced these via Mail for Exchange, they have lost their linebreaks and become unreadable on the E71. This is even though they are still available and correct in Outlook.
Mighty bad for a business phone.

Quick update:
I installed the latest trial version of Roadsync for Symbian S60 3rd edition and contacts sync. works perfectly both ways with the Zimbra server for creation and deletion of contacts. E-mails and calendars are OK.
It even syncs the tasks created on the phone to the server, something that MfE had never been able to do. It won't syncs tasks created on the server to the phone, though.
So, it's definitely an MfE problem...
But at 49 €, it's kind of a pain in my rear end to pay for something I was supposed to have built-in the phone...
Please MfE Team, heed my call...

E71 Firmware Bug with USB Mass Storage.

Hi,
Just got a e71, it has the latest firmware, it's mostly good except for this bug.
If you install a new theme on a memory card and then attempt to use the USB for mass storage it will always lock the card no matter how you disconnect from the USB, it always reports Memory card in use.
What is supposed to happen is the phone is supposed to switch to a theme on the phone memory and unload the theme on the card, it does indeed switch themes, but does not unload the theme on the card, so the only way to free the card is to reboot the phone.
If anyone from Nokia is looking at this forum, you guys need to fix these little bugs with the firmware. A update to the OS the E71x is using would be nice by the way. I paid a lot of money for this unlocked phone and expect it to be rock solid.

I had this problem with the memory card. All you do is set the USB connection to PC suit and not Mass Storage. If it's in PC suit mode you don't loose the memory card and it always let you access it. I never bother with mass storage anymore. Also set to don't ask if you want. I ahve no issues since I di this and am using the 200 firmware.
To transfer files to the card I go into my computer, double click the picture of the nokia E71 and then double click the memory card and access it that way. Hope this helps as it's a pain installing everything on the phone.
Just another quick tip if you download the themes through your phone like me once installed and after a re-start something may try and install and fail once your phone starts up. It will do this everytime you re-start your phone. To fix the issue you have to browse the memory card with 'view hidden folders' selected in Windows and delete certain sis files from a certain folder. I can't remember off the top of my head but it explains it in another post in this forum. I can't take the credit for it.

E71 camera bug - white lines

After installing new firmware version 400.21.013 some new bugs appeared. When I'm using camera sometimes picture has large pixels and it isn't bright. Also from time to time some white lines appear on the screen. They are not grid lines that you can turn on and off. I've tried to take a picture of them but it's fuzzy. Those lines on the picture are thin. Beside them some thick white line also appeared but I couldn't capture that moment

I have the same problem too...
I think it is a software problem with to many applications open.
It also happens if the screen lock kicks in and I press a button to re activate.
Only once has my phone "frozen" and then I had to take the battery out.
I can live with it though.

[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.

Bug Report E71 - Post (serious) bugs here.

Hi,
Maybe it's wise to have a dedicated bug report topic for the E71.
So not discussions here .. just USEFULL reports.
Bug #1 :
Situation:
- I am having a sip internet-call (native SIP client) with an Asterisk server.
- put the call on 'standby' (by menu Options)
- i press the 'Options' softkey again
- phone freezes. Only battery removal can restart it.
(it also freezes after doing some random key presses .. which i can't remember exactly .. but the standby is not stable.)
Bug #2:
- please fix color-settings for the camera . There is 'purple' all over.

501.21.001 on RM-357 (E71-2) Since upgrading to 501, I've had two major problems. 1) rarely (it's only happened twice), the SMS application will hang when attempting to reply to a message. The original message stays on the screen and nothing will let me out of the app. The phone will respond to the power button, however, and seems to work fine after a reboot. 2) battery life and/or battery meter is terrible. Battery meter will stay near the top then suddenly drop to 2-3 bars remaining. Energy Profiler seems to confirm my power usage is about where it used to be (drawing about 0.12W with the screen off and Gravity running in the background). Phone will then reach 1 bar and give "battery low" warnings, but I'm not convinced the battery is truly low. Last night I was on one bar for over two hours, Gravity was left running, I send and received a few texts, and I was connected to my in-car bluetooth for about 25 minutes, and the phone did not die. On the original firmware, I would never have made it through all that on one bar, which makes me think the bug is with the battery meter, not the battery life itself.

E71 WLAN Bugs

The saga of WLAN issues with E66, E71 and E72 products seems to go back to 2008 or earlier.
Has Nokia actually solved the problem yet ?
I find it very frustrating that I can't reliably connect to our home network or any public ones I try. Generally get the message "No Gateway Reply" though sometimes I'll get to the first page of a site and then get no response when clicking on boxes to explore.

After some days, weeks, of messing about I seem to have some clue as to the issue with WLAN bugging E series users.
Though it may not be relevant, I turned ON the UPnP setting in my Netgear Router which one is generally told to turn off.
Turning QoS (is this the same as as WMM?) on or off seemed to make no difference.
The real breakthrough came when using the WLAN at a friend's place where his DLink router is in the same room as I was seated in. Suddenly WLAN worked consistently and quite quickly on my E71.
At home my router is some distance from my living room. The E71 has always shown a good signal level for my router but only when I moved as close as possible did it start to connect (albeit slowly).
I have to conclude that the real problem is the E series' wireless insensitivity -- the answer (though it's not really an answer) is that it works within fairly close proximity to the source.

Bugs-E90/E71 - MFE contact Sync deletes first cont...

Had done the below to simulate the bugs
1. Factory reset phone.
2. Install MFE 2.55
3. Initial Sync on MFE 2.55 with Exchange server
4. Create a contact in Phone contacts
5. MFE Sync, contact appears on Exchnage mailbox, contact still in phone contact which is correct
6. Create another contact in phone contacts
7. MFE Sync again, both mailbox and phone contact does not have the entry that we create in step 4 anymore.
8. Subsequent created contacts are okie.
Nokia, please confirm its a bug and any future plans to rectify it?

Hi,
Try this...
In Applications\Email\Settings open Personal Inform Manager and you will find the optiosn to sync contacts.
Hope this helps.

Hi
Im setting up MFE on a Nokia N86, and its not troubleless to say the least. At first i could'nt get the option to use MFE when trying to setup e-mail on the phone. I solved this by setting the phone to offline mode and then setting up MFE by using the e-mail setup option.
But in the menu where I'm supposed to choose what to sync, the only option is e-mail. I got the calendar syncing by choosing the default mailbox as MFE under the calendar settings. So now the last thing i need is contacts.
The phone is syncing with a Exchange 2007 server, and it works perfectly on our other phones, E71, E90, HTC and so on... But not on the N86... I have 5 of theese and all of them have the same issue...
Hope somebody can help, otherwise I really considering returning the phones and buying HTC's instead...
Thanks in advance! :-)

E71 : Tutorial bug

Just started investigating new E71, and seems there is a bug in the Tutorial app. (Menu>Help>Tutorial) : Several topics cause the app. to end (crash) without showing info. e.g. Keys>Power key. Perhaps there are missing topics, because I also notice that where one of these "crash" topics appears in the middle of a list, lower topics actually launch the topic above them in the list e.g. anything below Calling>Dialled numbers.
Am I the only one suffering this? Seems relatively trivial, but then does not inspire confidence : if a simple app. like Tutorial is bad, what chance complex stuff being good?

I noticed that too. On my E63 tough, it works fine. These tuts are a bit silly. The manual is better documented and even then there are settings I can't find. The connections and buttons on the side are not described in the Dutch version.

E71 very annoying bug

Try this on your E71 communicators please.
I'm facing one strange bug and wanted to ask some of the E71 happy owners to try to trigger it, 'cause I'm not sure whether the bug is native or is due to some programs I installed.
Here's the sequence of actions that triggers the bug:
0) Contact search is turned on (tools > settings > phone > call > contact search = on)
1) In the home screen, start typing the name of an existing contact having 2 or more phone numbers in it, but with no default number for a phone call selected for it
2) When you see the desired contact in the list above, scroll up with the D-pad and highlight it
3) Press the green Dial key on your keyboard - the list of the contact's phone numbers appears
4) Now press the Cancel key (right soft-key), like if you decided not to call the contact
5) The phone hangs and after 3-5 sec restarts - here's the bug!
P.S. I have the latest phone software available.

Nope sorry doesn't do it here either.
Before you reset the handset, remove the memory card and see if it does it with the Memory card in the device.
There could be something in the card thats causing it to hang, what applications have you got running?
Shunts...
I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black
Nokia E72-1 with Vr 051.018.207.04 Software
If this post helped... Add some kudos!!

E71 strange update bug

I recently updated my e71 from its initial software version v1xx to v400.21.013.
During the process ovi suit told my it lost communication with my device and that i need to replug my USB cable, i did that and a minute or so after that it told me that the install failed but after starting the phone and connecting it to the suit it showed the new software version.
After browsing the phone for abut 10 minutes everything seems to work fine.
is this a random bug or a known problem, just want to know for my own peace of minde.

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!
My e71 wishlist.
more printer drivers for different brands
fix the purple haze on the pictures
keep group access points as a standard on the e71 as they did in the e61i
AND GET RID OF THESE BUGS!!!!!
Nokia E71-1 (26)
210.21.006
RM-346

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!

Is this a bug in the E71 contact manager?

I had a contact that had a mobile number and a home phone number.
I went to send a MMS message to the user and it prompted me to pick a number to use, so I picked the mobile, but the phone tried to send it to the land line number and of course the recipient never received it.
I removed the land line number from the contact and then it worked, seems to be a bug to me but you never know.
Thanks,
Tony

FYI - E71 browser bug in HTTP POST authentication

Some time ago I wrote a simple CGI script to upload photos from my old Nokia 6820. (but as the camera was so awful, I didn't use it much...)
When I tried to use it with my new E71, it didn't work and the browser exited unexpectedly.
When I had a look, it seems I had a public page with a form to upload a file using POST, then a CGI script that required basic authentication (i.e. a password). The N71 uploaded the file, got a 401 response, then died. Working browsers upload the file, get a 401, pop up a password dialogue, then resubmit the file with an authentication string and get the success response.
This seemed a somwhat crazy way to do it, on reflection, so I moved the form into the CGI directory. Now it works on the N71 - does an authentication step on the GET, and sends the authentication string with the first and only POST request.
(version 100.07.76; says latest for my phone in Canada)

After having read the RFC 4954, I must agree that the RFCs are a bit contradictory in this case.
RFC 2821 states that "all buffers and state tables [are] cleared". RFC 4954 states, that "after an AUTH command [...] no more AUTH commands may be issued [...]".
Taking both statements together, it wouldn't be possible to send two Emails within one authenticated session.
I digged into that a bit deeper, and discovered that some guys already found this contradiction:
http://notabug.com/2002/drums-archive/6812
Unfortunately they simply removed the sentence. Replacing it with a more precise statement would have been much better. Especially the behaviour of the RSET command in authenticated connections should have been descibed.
So the RSET command resets all buffers and state tables of a _transaction_. The buffers and state tables of the _connection_ remain untouched. So the RSET command shouldn't flush an authentication, because it belongs to a _connection_.
Due to this misleading statements, we have some (a lot of) mail servers out there which flush the authentication. So it might be a good idea to take out the RSET command after the AUTH, though Nokia/Symbian implementation is not against the RFCs.
Simply go through the topics, and you will see that a lot of people have problems sending Emails. And they blame their Nokia, because all other mail clients work flawless.
So I agree: An RSET directly after an AUTH shouldn't do any harm. But in reality it does - due to misleading RFCs and therefore incorrect server implementations. And as you say, RSET doesn't make much sense there, so it should be removed.

E71 new firmware V400.21.013 bugs

Update today and i can say the call bug is not fixed, the size of the text in messages not fixed, the screensaver bug is present.....
Update just for the Ovi contacts? Poor software and can i say about quality and respect for customers?

- Call pickup delay still not fixed.(so i guess its hardware relatied)
- E-mail wizard installs old version of Nokia Messaging
- Old version of Nokia Messaging and new version both don't integrate in phone (not selectable as default mailbox ... and not selectable in Gallery for sending a picture by mail).
Conclusion : Nokia is still a hardware developer ... not software.
