E71 keypad problem

I just updated the fireware to the newest and I got the problems with keypad typing as followed:
press 'z' get 'a'
press 'x' get 's'
press 'c' get 'd'....
basicly the whole third row of the keypad became the duplicate of the second row execpt , . and enter key.
what is wrong with that? it never happened before. and now i can't use the phone since i lost 7,8,9 and 0.
Any suggestions I should do to fix that?
Thanks a lot!

I turned the phone off for couple of hours and turned it on and the problem was gone. However, just after a few minutes, the problem was back. That really drove me crazy!
Anyone got the same problem?

X3-02 Backlight & Keypad Problems

Hi all
Have got a Nokia x3-02 which is about a year old now and noticing a few problems that have come up.
The 2 main problems I am having are...
1 > The LCD backlight doesn't turn off or "dim" after locking or after not using for a few minutes.
I have checked all of my settings and all is good. This problem doesn't happen all the time and most of the time it works normally, but when it decides not to work and not "dim" it thus drain all the life out of the battery.
2> The other problem I am experiencing is that the bottom row of keys have stopped working (7, 8, 9, 0) The strange thing is the rest of the keys now sometimes work and sometimes don't rendering the phone useless and even more strange is that on a few rare occasions the 8, 9 & 0 keys will work but never the 7 anymore.
Im not sure weather these two problems are related.
I have decided to tackle the keypad problem myself with a replacement part so hopefully that will sort that out as the price I got back from the Nokia Care shop was extreme!
I thought it might have been a software problem and as I am on a MAC has been a mission to update but now on the latest version, 6.0
If anyone has any solutions or are experiencing the same would be great to know how to solve it.
Cheers!

You will have to get the Language pack installed thru' Nokia Care as it can not be done by the User.
BTW ...here is the reason for the lost language.

E71 keypad not working properly

I have a e71. Sometimes some of the keys on my keypad doesn't work. how do I fix the problem?

Sorry Amishcake, but I doubt resetting the phone will do anything. I have an iPhone 4 and I am having the exact same problem, been having it for awhile. Nothing I do fixes it. I have reset me phone, installed all the updates, tried taking the cover off, tried taking the protective screen off - none of these things worked (all were suggestions I found on this support forum as many people with iPhone 4's are having this problem).
Of course, problem didn't start until warranty was over.
I will keep checking for suggestions though because it's extremely frustrating and I can't afford a new phone.

E71 - SEVEN Problems - Please Help

Hello ladies and gentlemen. I have a Nokia E71 running Symbian OS 60 3rd Edition.
I have been using SEVEN for several months now and it worked fine (with push e-mails arriving almost instantly everyday). The number of unread emails showed up on my home screen as "[email protected] (1)".
I reinstalled it today because my phone was having problems. After reinstalling SEVEN (and paying 15 of those international text messages), it does not even push any e-mails at all anymore.
After I installed SEVEN, I rejected to sync my Contacts and Calendar and when it says checking email, it just stays at 0% forever.
If anyone could please help me, that would be great. I've already spent a few dollars to no avail! Thanks!

What has SEVEN's technical support said about the issue?
With it being their program they are the best people to ask about this problem.

URGENT, PLEASE HELP. N96 keypad problem

Hi
The centre selection button on my nokia n96 acts as the downward arrow key before it selects. Therefore, for example, if i want to open a particular application i have to select the one above it on the list as it will move downward and then select. Also, the green call button does not act as such but also an arrow key. I have been told that this is not a mechanical problem so is there anything i can do to fix this problem by a software update??? Any other ideas as to what i could do would be grateful!!??
Please help
Thanks

That part of the keypad is bonded by either an adhesive pad or some form of glue on many phones, it could be that the adhesion is failing on both your phones. Because of the way the phones are assembled nowadays, it is best to get it fixed by a Nokia service point who will ensure that everything is correctly reassembled - if your phone is still under warranty (most N96s in Europe still are, just...), it could be done free under warranty for you.

E71 WiFi problems

My new E71 doesn't recognize wifi in range even that I'm sure that there is one.
when I'm ask him to find a wifi, I receiving the answer that he cant find a wifi in range...
any idea how can I solve this?
Many thanks
M

If you've checked and it still can't detect a wifi hotspot that's not hidden, then it's possible that you have a hardware problem.
My E71 detects (i.e. sees) any wifi, even if it's encrypted ... clearly, I can't connect to encrypted wifi until I have the key/password though (as I would expect).
Suggest you go back to the supplier and have them check whether there's a hardware issue.
My previous phones:
6310i --> SE K750i --> E50 --> E61i --> E71
... much prefer the Nokia phones, especially the E71

Apple USB Keyboard with Numeric Keypad Problem

Hi,
I have a Mac Mini macOS 10.5.8
I just bought an apple USB keyboard with numerci keypad (aluminium) and am having problems
1/ If i hit @ i get <
2/ if i hit < i get @
3/ the function keys do not work : if i hit fn F11 it displays the desktop (as F11 does also), i was expecting lower volume
4/ if i hit fn F12 i get the widgets (as with F12) i was expecting higher volume
etc....
It seems my USB keyboard with numeric keypad is not recognized.
If i look at the Keyboard Visualizer (top right) it displays a keyboard that does NOT look like mine, it is smaller.
Why isn't this keyboard correctly recognized ?
Thanks
Marc

ok thanks for the tip and yes i admit i didn't see that...
but it seems a little weird to have to upgrade all the OS to Snow Leopard just to use a keyboard.
That kind of new device should be configured through a driver to download...shouldn't it ?
I presume there's no keyboard driver that can solve my problem.. ?
so you confirm that if i pay for Snow Leopard and upgrade my OS, my keyword will definitely work correctly with my Mac Mini ?
Thanks

E71 Email Problems, Help Please!?

Hiya, I changed ISP, and therefore had to change my email settings on my E71, I removed the old mailbox (plusnet) and entered the new details (BT Yahoo), When I restarted the phone it threw a complete "wobbler", (active screen went blank, phone acted very strangely. Anyway, where I am now, The phone seems to have sorted itself out, I have removed and reinstalled the nokia email client and the phone is downloading about half of the emails in my inbox and the whole email client runs really really slowly if at all? Sorry to whaffle, does this make any sense, I can assume the email settings are correct of I wouldn't be recieving anything?
To paraphrase my issue, The email client is only downloading a few emails and is running very slowly, mail box takes about 1-2 minute to open? Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance, Pete x

a "soft reset" seems to have gone 99% of the way to curing the problems I was having, but thanks for suggesting that, it saved me hours trawling the web looking for the solution myself.

E71 WLAN problems after upgrade to 110.07.127 firm...

Hi, recently I've upgraded my E71 to 110.07.127 firmware and all WLAN operations became very unstable.
For example, when I open WLAN wizard it might show that there's no networks - while were are some for sure, when I press Refresh it starts showing some of them, then I press Refesh once again it shows more (or less), but none of them I can connect to anyway/.
I have a Wi-fi hotspot at home and I've been using it for a while with the phone, but now it either doesn't show up in the list of WLANs or, if it does, the phone cannot connect to it saying "Network is unavailable".
I tried to play with the hotspot options changing bands, "b" or "g" modes etc - no luck at all.
Pls help. Thanks.

any solution there please tell me
i'm kinda tired of my nokia e71
I believe the only solution would be to downgrade to the previous firmware and wait till new one will come.
Strange, no replies from Nokia people at all. Looks like they don't care about this forum...
Can anybody comment is that confirmed problem and does Nokia work on it or not?

E71 energy problem after updating firmware

Last Sunday I updated my e71.Since then my battery dies for a day I've tried with other battery and I think the problem isn't in the battery. Please help

Reset the E71. Dial *#7370# 12345 reformat, you'll lose all data. Make a backup first and restore without the settings.

E71 Email problem- "Unable to connect..."

Can anyone help me set up my new E71 for email? Im following the instructions and here is what happens:
From the main screen i select "set up email"
A box comes up asking if I want to use network to send and received data- i select 'yes'
'Testing network connections'
A screen comes up 'Welcome to email set up'- I select 'start
A box comes up with 'Email address' and a space to enter mine
I enter mine ( [email protected])
'Getting email settings....'
"Unable to connect with the information provided. Please try again"
Ok- so i've tried entering my email a few times, tried a hotmail address i use and tried rebooting the system- it's the same final message every time.
What can I do? Am I doing something wrong?
M

I had the same problem
I think the error arising from the check username
example: the username is [email protected] , NM only understand xxxaaa is username and the mail server can not check because mail server need domain name.
i hope NM fix this problem soon
sory for my english not good

E71 email problem (E71-2, RM-357)

I have a Nokia E71-2 (RM-357) which is generally usable and is a vast improvement over the E61 that I had previously. However, since updating to firmware 200.21.118, 11-27-2008 I noticed a serious problem.
When retrieving email often and reproducibly the Messaging application changes the email message date/time of arrival to the time that it was downloaded to the phone, disregarding the server timestamp. This happens 100% of the time with POP3 email servers when downloading email I sent from the phone (using SMTP). This happens very often, though not always, when I download email others sent me via POP3.
Any suggestions on fixing this? I'd appreciate it.

I have more details about this problem. Let's say there is an email waiting to be delivered on the server. If I download this email using the phone first and then get it with my desktop client everything is fine. If however I download the email on the computer first and they retrieve it with the phone then the date stamp will be wrong. I'm fairly certain that this problem is new with firmware 200.x.
