E71 + New Firmware = Unhappy Camper

Hello everyone.
I'm hoping there may be some suggestions to help me out here.
I decided to update the firmware on my e71 hoping to fix that annoying phone-hangs-on-busy-number-bug, but all that's been achieved is that the earpiece speaker is now very distorted, as if it's being pre-amped and now distorting, even when the volume is turned down. It's not overly loud or louder than before, it's just that it's now no longer clear (applies to both phone calls as well as keypad tones).
Any suggestions, or is it time for a new phone?
(which won't be another Nokia after this disastrous incident).
Nokia says I can't downgrade firmware and their only other option is taking it in to a service centre which I think is a sham (bah humbug) since this only happened after the firmware update (and will now cost money since the phone is out of warranty).
Firmware version is V510.21.009
Thanks so much!

YES!! there is exactly an error on typing.
after 60th character on sms,typing becomes slower and slower..and also turkish characters are counted as more than one character which results in high cost.
old update which is 210.... was successul on reduced support but it does not work on this update!!!!
HELPPPPP,what kind of undate is that???? ,
what will we do?

Nokia E71 - New Firmware Released 2nd July - Vr 30...

Hi All
If you didn't know already a new firmware for the Nokie E71 was released yesterday.
I have updated mine this afternoon, and it looks good so far. The only thing I have initally noticed that a Myspace Facebook and Youtube application has appeared.
As for the other improvements at the moment they must all be in the background. The handset is much faster though.
My handset is a UK Model, Unbranded and SIM Free, so not all network operator will have approved the update as yet. As always if you cannot update then its generally because the firmware for your operator or region has not yet been approved.

It is not possible to update between Feature Packs.
My GPS is working fine, along with my maps.
If you are restoreing from a backup, you can find that somethings will not install correctly. I normally only restore stuff that I actually need to keep such as contacts etc, and install everything else anew, or resync with Mail for Exchange.
I notice that stability has also improved.

E71 - new firmware old camera look

When I bought e71 I didn't expect professional camera but I can not believe that after 4 firmware versions (I have v400.21.013) I still have reddish picture. I also thought that this kind of problem is unsolvable but I find that HTC have solved similar problem. For those who work on this problem here is HTC solutions you can see that this is solvable.

My brother have two e71. One has great camera and one has reddish picture.

FWIW: I've had no problem with v500 firmware. I never even noticed that the 'Loudspeaker' soft key activated before the call connected previously; is this such a big deal? It shouldn't be an issue for motorists because you shouldn't be poking away at your phone when you're driving anyway. Get a hands free kit.
I do notice a SMALL delay/beep when answering or making a call, but only when a GPRS connection is in place (the phone doesn't drop the GPRS session until the call is established - bug or feature?).
I'm not saying this phone or firmware is perfect - it isn't, but compared to the other devices/operating systems I've tried, the number of irritations with this aren't any more than I've found with others. Maybe I'm not so picky, but some people just can't be pleased.
I would however agree that everything Ovi sucks **bleep**. That to me is a bigger issue than a couple of minor phone OS bugs.
</ 2 cents>
I do agree that ovi sucks
I hear the beep even without gprs connection...
I use(d) the loudspeaker option this way (no need to be a motorist ):
- With my E71 on the desk
- I start the call and immediately after I enable the loudspeaker
- Then I put my eyes back on the PC monitor...
Now I lose precious time 'cause I have to look at the phone

E71 New firmware (110.07.127)

Could any one kindly tell me if and when this firmware update will be available through Nokia Software Updater?
E71 110.07.127
Many thanks in advance.

thanks for the reply SA71.
im afraid what you are saying is probably true. although i must thank nokia for producing the E71 as its the best nokia has produced so far. i cannot ever go back to a cheap plasticky device again.
Sadly, Even though the E71 is a great phone, it has a lot of bugs. The hardware is not at fault, its just the software handling the hardware. Being an eletronic/computer engineer in profession makes it easier for me to understand this.
However, Ive already managed to get my E71 updated to 110.07.127 through a service center hoping that it would solve my issues. I saw the supposed change-log on many other mobile blogs, but i doubt all of that were fixed.
for e.g.:
1. I still cant end a call if the number i call is busy or unreachable.
2. There are some GUI curruptions showing weird animations on the top-right corner during calls.
3. NON-user friendly gallery with OLD GUI. Why on earth would you have a gallery software like this on a flagship business device.
4. Screen brightness is lower than what can be displayed. I stumbled upon this when I installed a third party software to control the display/keyboard lighting. Why nokia?
5. Bad Quality of the 3.2 MP camera. I remember taking better pictures from a 6630.
6. Auto-Focus - Seriously, When did anyone have to press a button for auto-focus to initiate? If so, you should take out the "Auto" bit from "Auto-Focus"
7. Im sure there's many more that i cant remember right now.
I know E-series is for business users, But reducing features and making it a less-fun device to use is just wrong. Why does nokia think that business users are dull boring people?
99% of Symbian 9.2 is just pure software features and I know for a fact that they have all the power to correct these.
Overally, i am happy with the E71, infact i think im in love with it - but at the same time i am annoyed that great phone like the E71 comes with stupid features. I am sure Nokia is looking at this in a business perspective (and at the end its all about money), but Nokia - when you make decisions like this, it just makes you look like the bad-guy, you are just asking for it.
Give what the people want.

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.

Why no new firmware for E71 (product code:0569371)

Now, normally I would not care but over the last couple of months everyone keeps blogging about the new firmware for their E71.
I have paid a full price for mine in the US (Newegg) so that I would not be constrained by some provider limitations.
Well, now I find out that everyone else in the world, including the US, but that one product code (0569371) has received their updates, some even two and I am still stuck on the original 1.0 release.
Can anyone one over there at Nokia explains this to me like a 4-year-old, why does Nokia punishes owners of this particular product?

Having exchanged a few polite emails with NA Nokia devission I got this today:
"Nokia is consistently working to improve our product services and realizes the software update is important to you. I regret to inform you, that I do not have a release date for the firmware update to your Nokia E71 device. Please continue to monitor the Nokia Software Updater (NSU) for updates for your device. "
So, I have decided to go on a mission to provide potential North America buyers of the Nokia phones sold in US about the support they can expect. Do I think this will help? I doubt it, but what else can I do? Class action suite?
I frequent these mobile blogs/forums on daily basis: Nokia Phone Blo, nokiAAddict, UberPhones, Mobile Tech Weblog, IntoMobile, MobileCrunch, Symbian-Guru, Mobile88. You can look thre for my ongoing comentary.
Go ahead Nokia, mark this thread as "resolved"

E71 can't disable the keypad autolock (new firmwar...

Hi. I just updated the firmware of my E71. A new feature which i find it very annoying is the new keypad autolock. I want to check if this is normal, or it is a problem on my E71.
On my E71 i have the keypad autolock disabled, while is phone lock is turned on (1 minute). In the previous firmare, i would only need to enter the lock code to unlock it. However, after i installed the new firmware, it will require me to unlock the keypad (left top key + key function) before i entre the lock code to unlock it; which is very annoying. Is this normal? Can i turn it off? I tried everything and it did not work, including turning on the keypad autolock for 59 minute. Please help, how can i turn this off. I want to keep the automatic phone lock feature, but i want to disable the keypad autolock.
Thanks a lot, Rabih

this probably is a case of a bug in ur device so what u can try are: plz make a back up
take out your sim card and put in *#7780# to restore factory settings. you should not lose any data, but all settings will go into default. try that first.
the second option is a reset *#7370# this one will erase all of your data, 'wipe the phone clean' and restore to factory settings. see if any of these options work and if you are able to use your phone as you like/need to.
the third option U can go in for a hard reset which will turn ur device as it left the factory totally new
U can also update/reinstall ur firmware and see the result...
Also use ur device without the memory card and see
in case of ur memory card there are different options available to you to get rid of the corrupt/unwanted data in your card.
menu--tools--memory---options---format memory card......
remember everything including ur factory installed apps will be deleted......... but u can always download them later either from nokia or google them...
or insert ur card in any reader or laptop and check for virus and also the hidden folders.......

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 ?

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.

Not quite sure from your post whether E71 still functional upon previous firmware and just fails to update every time that you try; if that is the case it may be easier to find another PC.

Nokia E71 problem with New Firmware 410.21.010

I have updated my Nokia E71 (RM-346) to new firmware 410.21.010. It creating a problem with battery that drain out quickly. Before update, for normal use, I need to charge once a week. But after upgrade new firmware 410.21.010. It finishes in 24 hour for normal use. I have read article that I can not downgrade, just only to wait for next firmware. Have some one any solution?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had a Nokia E71 running very happily on version 3 firmware. I updated the firnware to 410.21.010.
It worked fine until I switched the phone off and tried to re-start the phone. It stopped working.
It is my work phone. The messaage on the phone said take it back to my retailer. He tried to get it fixed but because Nokia say it is out of warranty I am out of a phone that is set up to use the Oki system.
It worked perfectly well until the software update.
It is now at my retailer waiting for me to collect.
This is very disappointing.
Especially as I am now considering not using a Nokia telephone ever again. Moreover, I am sure that Fair Trading would consider this matter very strange and might like ot investigate it further.
I want my E71 fixed for free by Nokia as it was working without any malfunctions until the firmware update - which was done after receiving notification from Nokia. I have not been able to use the Oki system for some weeks now and would like to contiue using Nokia. Otherwise I guess Nokia lose another customer to iPhone or HTC or Samsung. I await anyone's advice on this matter.
