Fault Inherent Nokia N 81 launched by Nokia

I had bought a Nokia N 81 handset in July last year. Thehandset had been working quite well till recently. All of a sudden it has gotvarious problems with the keypad, starting from the keypad going crazy torestarting of the phone again and again and finally the complete keypad (exceptthe power button, the lock slider and 2 gaming buttons) stopped functioningcompletely.
Nokia Care people say the handset needs a change of the FlexCable which would cost Rs.2580 for the repairs. They won’t give any details ofthe problem more than this.
The reviews of the phone on the net suggest that this kindof problem DOES creep in at some time or the other in the lifetime of thedevice. There are instances of this problem just after a month usage.
Additionally, the reviews of Nokia Care centers give a hintabout their poor service. Most of the times, the customers were charged a heftysum, even if their phone was in warranty period. Also, the deadlines given tocustomers for the repairs were never met and they were kept waiting for months ata stretch. Reason given was that the parts were not available with themcurrently.
Even after repair, the handset develops the same problempretty soon, repeatedly and ultimately it is rendered Irreparable by the NokiaCare centre.
All this just suggests that this kind of problem is inherentto the device and is probably due to use of a faulty Flex Cable by Nokia. Itonly implies that Nokia launched this handset either without proper testing orgod knows why.
What has happened to Nokia..I dunno but m sure to file a petition with the Consumer's Court if they do not take a satisfactory action..SOON

I am from India and all your points are true about Nokia Care Point. You have no choice so go to there only. Also note that after warranty period, you cannot win at consumer courte for your hardware fault. You can file a petition there if they don't give or denie to give you proper service.

  • Nokia 610 car kit and Nokia 6500 Classic phone

    Hi,
    Has anyone else had problems connecting a Nokia 6500 Classic to a Nokia 610 car kit. The handset won't remember the pairing and I have to enter the 16 digit passkey every time I start up the car, even althouth the "remember pairing" feature is activated. Other models of Nokia handsets connect fine

    I have managed to download the contacts with the N95 by installing the "download Contacts" application on the N95.
    You HAVE to make sure that the paring between the two phones is deleated, then that the "download contacts" app is running on the N95 before assigning the SIM again from the 610, entering the passcode and then choose YES to the questian "Download contacts?"
    The only problem is then that the contacts display as Lastname/firstname as opposed to firstname/lastname which is my preference and I cannot for the life of me seem to be able to change this. Still I cant have everything I suppose. At least its keeping the pairing without having to enter the passcode everytime which is still the case with the 6500.
    Did anyone ever get to the bottom of this passcode problem? Or been able to display the contacts downloaded from an N95 as firstname/lastname?
    best regards.

  • Nokia Suite won't find Nokia 5610 on bluetooth

    Hello, I recently upgraded from Nokia Ovi Suite to Nokia Suite and after I did that, Nokia Suite won't find my 5610 by bluetooth. I tried uninstall and reinstall Nokia Suite but no results. I noticed however that Nokia 5610 has been removed from the compatibility list with Nokia Suite. Does this mean 5610 won't work with Nokia Suite? I've also updated my bluetooth drivers but no effect.
    Regards

    Hi tokenize,
    Very much welcome to the Nokia Discussions Forum! Download Nokia PC suite and try the connection with that.
    You can also take a look at this page and see if downloading bluetooth drivers from there helps. 5610 has indeed been removed from Nokia Suite compatibility list.
    Hope you're able to connect your to the PC now.

    Nokia PC Suite - Ovi Suite - Nokia Suite.
    What are the differences between these software suites?

    The earlier means of communication between your Phone and the PC is the PC Suite. Then came the OVI Suite which was later renamed as Nokia Suite. Though cont. improvements are in process, many users still think the PC Suite to be more stable, more user friendly and more feature filled...

    I myself found the resolution found on other discussion threads,
    Do one of the following ( 2nd Option worked for me, Remember to take backup before going with the 2nd option as it erases all contacts)
    Try resetting the phone here is codes back up data
    start from top and work down
    1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
    Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for all operations listed here is 12345
    2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone
    3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
    hard reset - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. )

  • Nokia Support Discussions launched

    Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions. This service was launched at the beginning of November 2005 on the Nokia UK website, and for the next few weeks we'll be gathering feedback and refining the service before bringing it to other Nokia websites. We hope you find this a useful tool for sharing tips and ideas with other Nokia phone owners - just register to start posting.
    Thanks -

    This is not related to the NSD site but other official NOKIA Sites. There seems to be something drastically wrong with the new look sites providing various information..
    For e.g.
    When I Googgle for 'Nokia PC Suite' see where it leads to in the Attachment 'Nokia PC Suite'
    When I Google for 'Nokia C6-00 Specs' it puts in to a loop as seen in Attachment 'Nokia C6-00'.
    These are just 2 examples against many more seen.
    ...or am I doing something wrong ???
    Also think that the Earlier Sites were more informative..
    e.g. the Nokia Suite download site provided compatibility list regarding the PC's OS as well as the Nokia devices that are compatible with the Suite.. Can not find these details now..

  • QuickOffice 6 does not launch on Nokia c5

    I've bought a Nokia C5, firmware version 32.010, with QuickOffice 5.3 and Adobe Reader LE 1.5 installed. After a firmware update using the NokiaSoftwareUpdater to version 61.005, the Adobe Reader LE 1.5 is still working but the QuickOffice, which was upgraded to 6.2.439 I think, refuses to launch either by starting the application directly or by opening any office file document, and shows me a "System Error" message.
    Is this an issue with the firmware?? How can I solve it??

    im also having the same problem... I tried to reset but still same. im helpless...

  • Nokia Maps - pre-launch version bug

    Hello,
    I've just installed the latest version and it seems that it doesn't show properly street and city names with unicode characters - this worked well in beta version. Now map data looks very weird e.g. in Poland, because there are no Polish letters at all (instead there're some weird chars). The same problem exists in 'search' and others parts of the application.
    Tested on N93, v20.0.058
    BR,
    Jack

    I found another bug - when you search for cash mashines nearby, application shows doubled entries in results list (e.g. machineA, machineA, machineB, machineB, C, D, D, E...).
    Everything was tested on N93 with latest Polish maps (downloaded by Nokia Map Loader 1.1).
    BR,
    Jack
    P.S.
    I'm slowly becoming main tester of this application

    I am seriously disappointed that Nokia downgrade the Nokia Music Manager to such level that everyone should suffer to have your albums on your phone; I don’t believe that any developer in this world will remove some old features already coded in the developing project before releasing a new version with new look and feel, 
    In the old version, I am able to select the location on my mobile where I want to save my music, the new version ignore that option, 
    In the old version I am able to connect with Bluetooth along with the data cable, the new version is only work with the data cable,

  • Nokia's worst launch Nokia C 2- 03

    nokia phone as mentioned above doesnt support/acess any app. it needs advanced operatng systm.

    Nokia u failed miserably....
    What is the use of firm upgrade when
    1. you cannot deliver better service?
    2. the upgrade makes all the functional services dysfunctional??
    3. the availabe features [e.g. oxford dictionary, games] are deleted for no reason???
    Its my N96
    Everything was running fine until...
    You **bleep** asked me to upgrade to the latest firmware
    Gone my camera, gone my voice recorder and other multi-media features.
    Thats not the end
    The service centre charge 300 bucks on the plea
    That they would fix my set
    I shelled out those hard earned money
    Just to find that nothing is done.
    What do you think you are doing???
    You are not worth ever a single swearing
    So you are spared
    Any comment?
