Fell In Love With My N97, Until...

The On/Off button and touch screen are both very unreactive, and it has begun to run incredibly slowly and now crashes EVERY time I manage to get it switched on!!
I also had the USB issues, and trying to factory reset it with it running so slowly and unresponsively is almost impossible.
Has anybody else had similar issues??
I am taking mine to the nokia shop tomorrow.

Have you installed the latest firmware for your N97 (If it's available to you)? It may solve some of the issues you're having. Make sure you use Nokia Software Updater on your PC as it probably won't show if you check over the air.
Also check the Software Update utility on your device as Nokia released 5 or 6 updates yesterday to programs and one a system file.
Nokia N8 on O2-UK
Firmware 022.014

Annoyed with my N97

iv had this N97 for a year, had my previos 1 for 2 years before the slide button broke, 3 weeks later nokia gave me a new one because all the hardware was failing.
recently, whenever i restart my phone, most of the time because it hangs and lags for no apparant reason, i turn it on, it boots up, several seconds later MEMORY FULL appears (16MB available on C)
im a bit junky, every thing on my phone is up to date, i have a few games only (installed via OVI store)
the ONLY reason this thing is still in existance is because i like the feel of it and need a phone.
iv been an avid Nokia fan many year, but looking at this phone and looking at whats out there (not a fan of a full touch phone) i must say, you will soon be losing a Nokia lover, i just cant handle it anymore, batterylife on nokias havnt been competatice since 3310's, software is so slow and buggy its actually rather useless.
i do suggest, before you lose what little support you manage to keep, up your game, give us what we need, stop releasing millions of devices that never see big markets, iv got such an awesome phone, but it lags, hangs, reboots, and still no update for software.
sigh.

@Mojitto the reason the N97 requires 'black magic' is because when designed, someone at Nokia forgot to give it enough phone memory to function properly, and so you have to move stuff arround and learn to manage the available memory as well as possible, the poor performance of the N97 is the reason I exist on this forum, I joined to find solutions, the N97 is more like a full time hobby than a phone, if you learn to work arround the memory issues, it's quite useable, althoughI find the E7 much better as it has sufficient power to function without the memory management worries. All the issues with the N97 are well documented, and the only solution is to learn how to use and manage it, or replace it, I still have mine and it still functions fine, but I wouldn't want to go back to using it full time !!!
Good Luck

My experience with the N97 - "my last Nokia"

Hi everyone,
I know this is a user-to-user support forum but I believe a complaint to be some sort helps users to decide whether the N97 is for them or not. Before you read on, this post will contain comparisons to competitors, so if you hate apples, feel free to ignore me! (Also I don't think users should stop harassing Nokia for what they have done to us - the more complaints the better. Igoring customers is not a very good corporate strategy. Eventually it will take them down - people buy Nokia for quality, otherwise they could buy a rip-off from ebay).
Just skimming over the posts shows me that I am not alone. So let me share my experience with Nokia and the N97. I am too tired complaining about this phone, at least I think my experience has made sure that no-one of my friends and relatives is ever going to buy a Nokia again.
When I bought the phone for then 500 pounds at the Nokia flagship store in London it seemed nice enough. Good camera, decent keyboard and features competitors could only dream of. Unfortunately, that's paperwork. For a start, the much advertised facebook application was completely disfunctional and taking into account that Nokia clearly tried to compete with the iphone (my apologies again for mentioning a competitor) frankly a lame joke. I know a firmware update has somewhat relieved the situation now, but I will come to that later.
Okay, so I have disabled the facebook application. Not a drama, surely the rest will work okay. But then after a week some of the pictures I took with the built-in camera weren't accessible anymore (broken image displayed). Again, I have another camera and I was hoping for a firmware update so I ignored it. I had now started using the joikuspot app to browse the internet on my linux box. Very nice. I started using email a lot on my phone but again was disappointed. I have a £165 ipod touch here. Without kinetic scrolling and an extremely bad UI design, by which I mean the icons and menus (ignoring the graphics flaws all the time) it is no match for the ipod, so what i did was to use joiku spot with my ipod touch. Before that firmware update the N97s browser was also still buggy so I used joikuspot for that too. I was now down to using my £500 smartphone as a wireless modem. What a shame. But I was still hoping for some kind of magic update.
Then finally, I found out about the firmware update. I had to open my phone, check the serial and visit the Nokia website. Unfortunately, the Ovi software and drivers supplied with the phone did not recognize my N97 properly. Something which I think was fixed with the firmware update (anyone seeing a circular dependency here? ) Furthermore, the built-in firmware update over 3G seemed to be disabled. So I made the journey back to the flagship store in London, explaining the problem. I was greeted by an extremly rude employee. Well, I think that's not really his fault, I guess he was just sick of all the complaints. Anyways, I told him that the 3G update was not working and he started to be really patronizing telling me that I wouldn't listen to him (he said it was "working" but "disabled"). Maybe I should have told him that I am a software engineer and that in 99.9% of the cases in which we disable a feature, the reason is that it is "not working". Anyways, he kindly allowed me to use one of their machines to update the firmware "at my own risk", which worked. At no point I have received an apology for the fact that I have paid Nokia £500 to beta-test their products.
Now of course, the firmware update has succeeded, but is all fine? Far from it.... As many report on this forum the N97s battery meter is faulty. Countless times, my phone has just literally died overnight. It even forgets time and date! This is more than bad - every phone I have had so far complained about a draining battery well in advance. I had to dig out my old phone to serve as an alarm clock again - the fact that the alarm clock itself is unreliable is a alltogether different matter... One time the battery died during the day - after doing nothing for 4 hours in my sports bag (started with 1 bar down). When I had to make a call that day, for the first time in I don't know how many years I had to use a telephone box. Progress?!
The firmware update has also barely improved the email client - just a few ui glitches solved. However, the biggest issue at the moment seems to be the weird memory organization. When I buy a phone I don't want to deal with something like the c drive problem. Reinstalling applications on the 32gb partition helps somewhat but why didn't Nokia do that in the first place? Has this phone never been tested?The phone is still way too slow.
I can't comment on the iplayer app - says it needs wlan to work. But the youtube player has crashed every time i used it. And by crashing I mean it took down the whole phone with it. I admit that my ipod crashed a few times too - in just under a year (~3 times). But the reset was straightforward every time. With the N97, the only thing that seems to help is to take the battery out!
Before I forget, the N97 doesn't even work as a phone. In a 30 minute conversation, the call got dropped 4 times. I don't know whether it was because of a calibration issue with the proximity sensor or a more serious problem, all I know is that this is unacceptable!
I am sick of the phone and Nokia's service. The joikuspot app ran out and asks me to pay... I have paid £500 pounds for the bloody phone already. The adobe reader asks me to pay... (somehow it ran out without me even using it). Maybe you see why I am getting angry now - the only use case that actually put the N97 on top of my old phone was gone. What infuriated me even more, is that Nokia bundles this software with the phone. It cannot actually be deinstalled! It just sits there merrily and takes up my hard drive space.
Last but not least, I have written to Nokia already, but not received a response! This is a Nokia forum with Nokia employees following the posts. I would be very, very, very grateful if Nokia could give me a refund. However, with them not even acknowledging the various problems I somehow don't see that coming. I'll probably have to sell it with a massive loss on ebay.
Cheers,
Will
P.s.: I have all the same small issues as the other guys here - slider lock at the side not working etc. You are not alone... Has anyone complained about the music player? I have 16gb of music on the phone and scrolling is impossible! The Symbian OS is so obviously not built for a touch screen that it hurts. Of course they don't put much music on the phones in the Nokia store so people only find out when they get home...

hi ! the nokia n97 is a really an amazing device. It keeps up to the promise of live online 24 x 7. I discovered it and wanted to share. Still there are some unanswered questions and if any vetran could help would really appreciate.
i am an user from India. and have the n97 for about 3-4 weeks now. Practically I have been living online 24 x 7 as The list of unexpected issues that a nokia n97 offers seems unending, some of which i am narrating have made me scout on the web to try n search answers.Not that i will be able to action information you provide instantly. My new phone has gone for reparis(sic), so once its back can do that & will acknowledge your replies.
My Quests:
1. First things first! How to request for & get refunds for a Nokia Phone in India.
2. Is there a touch querty as an input method? like windows mobile ? Request Know How. I now seem to agree to the feedback on one of the blogs.. that nokia designers feel that the average size of user hands would be that of big people & fingers like a japaneese teen. The physical keyboard does not seem to offer any additional functions other than text input !
3. Predictive text where in the touch screen menu, the words dont get auto completed. This increases the number of taps/input strokes. Is the n97 intelligent & learn words from sms, contacts, emails. my blackberry does so. Request Know How & any options to edit custom dictionary. Auto Punctuation ? Am i expecting too much already ?
4. Single hand use of phone impractical using touch pad t9. Entering alphanumerics on the physical querty is a nightmare... Request Know how on tips & tricks.
5. Green tick yes or v button on top left of the text input screen. friendly again only for big handed people. Could this have been at bottom right. Is alternate screen for text input touch t9 available? Requested Know how.
6. Unnecessary taps additional taps alomost in all menus...for eg.. sending a biz card from n97 requires 5 taps... in the other mobile phone systems it can be done in 3 taps. Requested Knowhow for shortcuts.
7. Can In a nokia we get a view of the entire events as single thread.... No Provision for search display against keywords upon I can get call logs, messages - Here in Nokia, no search filters / advanced search and all searches results plotted to applications vs person/events. Requested Know How if it can be done like blackberry / windows mobile.
8. Copy & Paste across applications. eg. Select text from web page copy n paste on message application.... possible on Nokia...? Requested Know How
9. Call& Event Logs e.g Missed calls. If there are 5 missed calls the log will show the last called time only. In most other mobile systems Blackberry, windows each event is logged against a user. Requested know how on how this is handled in Nokia.
10. Lag in picture display upon call. Number displays first and after few seconds lag the pic pops up. Is this normal & acceptable ? Other windows / rim devices show it instantly.
11. When will Nokia enable usage of Native clients like google talk, yahoo like blackberry, iphone ? Any know how on possibility of release. Any equal alternatives suggested for n97. Tried Nimbuzz, Fring, Ebuddy. Miss the chat message notification icon on home screen, notification on the chat messaging icon, sound, breathing lights.
12. Is there any planning for better email client? Likely Release dates?
13. The Java App for GMAIL on blackberry shows an indicator on icon in addition to customised alert setting tone & breathing light for new messages. Retreiving Emails is consistent & auto on other devices. The Nokia Does not seem to auto refresh + No Notification. How is it handled on Nokia ?
14. Can user friendliness be something where we can do actions with a contact or on contacts screen single view... e.g see contact on google map, Help on contacts screen/n97 help, lookup contact on server, filter by category. new address, new group, view, edit, delete, activity log (incl sms, mms, email, calls), call, sms, mms, email, send as attachment, send as im, add a custom ring tone, add picture, options - sort by, separators, sync settings, actions, switch
applications, exit. We have seen it on inexpensive phones. is it possible to be done on Nokia?
SOME OF MY STILL UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS Post upgrade to ver 12. Did you also face similar bugs/issues?
15. Contacts inaccessible – “Memory Full Error”. No other applications were active at the time of the error. Just unable to reach any of my 3500 contacts through the contacts options & do anything.
16. Pbk2 error upon selecting contacts in the messaging application.
17. Audio Delay upon receiving a call. No Sound upon connection of incoming call. Especially if picked up too fast.
18. Shows as searching for network constantly many times a day. We have 2 n97s & observed that both n97 almost have similar timing of network loss. Whereas, our other devices like blackberry do not show any weak signal signs.
19. GPS Lock. Keeps searching for GPS locks constantly i.e Drops connection to GPS network frequently.
20. Unpredictive battery talk time, standby & required Charge time.
21. Voice inaudible at other end, when using loudspeaker & especially during calls from moving vehicle.
22. Camera:
a. Picture clarity issues. Secondary camera highly pixelated. Primary camera shows light flooding on pictures. Clarity Missing.
b. Erroneous Time stamp on images.
c.Lens Cover Started to show minor scratch pressure.
23. Ovi Suite recommends erroneous updates for E.g Maps 3
24. Text Input touch t9 screen freezes / Hangs, especially when entering special characters like period(.), comma(,), exclamation (!) etc
25. Selectively & at random contact Name not displayed on Caller ID (sometimes)
26. Selectively Message & Message delivery display number, instead of stored contact names.
27. Sync Issue, All contacts not synced always.
How to sync "categories" field as stored in outlook or how to map custom fields to Nokia.
28. Format Mass Memory error, Unable to format. Unable to delete specific files.
29. The auto lock... When attempted to unlock with querty out .. it still opens in portrait mode ?
30. SMS Logs Not updated. e.g any sms sent before storing a contact.... after storing or adding
contact the number does not get automatically updated to the name. It reflects the number still in the logs.
31. Picture caller... The face is half cut ..Looks weird on most images... as the number is not transparent. In landscape mode there is enough space on the screen to put up the answer or reject buttons and displaying the numbers.
32. Browser will close on its own & return to menu or home screen.
thanks in advance for your time to stop & read. Pls do send any information that you think will be useful to me for making the n97 do some work.
NEW additions:
(tested on another n97)
33. Predictive Text :
Usage for auto word completion only on physical keyboard, when the Dpad down key is used it throws up options but the way the scroll is designed you can see the full word and one makes mistakes.
34. another strange behaviour is on the text input... this was on an email i was trying to reply. the stylus touch will paste the last keyed in word !! we wonder why.
35. and while showing off the second n97 we have (again 3-4 weeks old) - we were asked how much did we pay for this second hand unit - 50% off .. apparently the comment as the surface has got scratched very badly.
i hope the info is good use to others who want to take the risk of buying this device

Using LOV with Validation on the Numeric Fields results in Error

Dear JHeadstart Team,
During my work with lov I encountered another problem. I defined a lov and attached the lov to a numeric field and check the LOV for validation. Now when I use LOV using the LOV button it works fine but when I enter some numbers and then press tab the LOV was not shown correctly and resulted in the following errors and the worst thing is that you can not navigate to any other pages and all try to navigate to other pages results in errors too. When we put the same LOV on a string field (which is not desirable for us) it worked fine.
It seems to me like a bug. Am I right? Is ther any solution or workaround for this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Navid

Hi Navid,
We ran into the same bug and have the next workaround for it:
We extended the JHeadstart class 'LovItemBean' and we have overridden the method 'validateWithLov(...)' with:
public void validateWithLov(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent)
    Object newValue = valueChangeEvent.getNewValue();
    if(newValue != null && !(newValue instanceof String))
      newValue = newValue.toString();
      ValueChangeEvent newEvent = new ValueChangeEvent(valueChangeEvent.getComponent(), valueChangeEvent.getOldValue(), newValue);
      newEvent.setPhaseId(valueChangeEvent.getPhaseId());
      super.validateWithLov(newEvent);
    else
      super.validateWithLov(valueChangeEvent);
}Next step is to use a custom template in your JHeaedstart Application Structure file for 'LOV_ITEM_BEAN'. In this custom template you should use your own class as 'managed-bean-class' instead of the default JHeadstart one.
Now you can safely generate LOV with validation of number fields.
Maybe something the JHeadstart can pcik up in the next release of JHeadstart :-)
Hope this helps.

Using LOV with bind var as custom attribute?

I have an Portal LOV which uses a bind variable.
Can I use this LOV as a custom attribute? If so, how do I specific the bind variable value?
In the display option of the attribute I tried LOV_NAME(LOV_Bind => 'value'), but the LOV is not applied.

It's been quite a while, but I think I remember trying this and not being able to achieve it. You can use a LOV with a bind variable in a report or in a form, or similar, but there is no way in an item to from specify where to get the bind variable. My suggestion if this is a requirement would be to use a portal form which submits to a stored procedure or pl/sql generated form to gather the attributes and then programmatically create the item using the APIs. Takes a bit of work, but gets you exactly what you described above.

LOV with subselect shows return_value instead of display_value

Hi,
I have the following dynamic SQL based LOV with a union in it that does not display correctly in the application.
SELECT role_name d, role_seq r
FROM apex_app_roles ar
WHERE security_level = 1
AND :F2500_APP_USER in
(SELECT au.user_id FROM
apex_app_user au,
apex_app_user_roles auar
WHERE ar.role_seq = auar.role_seq
AND auar.user_seq = au.user_seq)
UNION
SELECT role_name d, role_seq r
FROM APEX_APP_ROLES ar
WHERE security_level = 0
ORDER BY 1
The problem I have is the first part of the SQL is displaying the return_value instead of the display_value. If I comment out the following the proper value is displayed in the application.
AND :F2500_APP_USER in
(SELECT au.user_id FROM
apex_app_user au,
apex_app_user_roles auar
WHERE ar.role_seq = auar.role_seq
AND auar.user_seq = au.user_seq)
We currently have version 4.0.1.00.03 installed.
Is there an issue with this version and what I am trying to do or is there something wrong with what I'm doing? The SQL returns the proper results if I run it in the SQL workshop so I'm at a loss here and if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bruce

The value is correct. I can run the entire SQL in workshop using parameter substitutions and it returns all the values correctly. So running this
SELECT role_name d, role_seq r
FROM apex_app_roles ar
WHERE security_level = 1
AND :F2500_APP_USER in
(SELECT au.user_id FROM
apex_app_user au,
apex_app_user_roles auar
WHERE ar.role_seq = auar.role_seq
AND auar.user_seq = au.user_seq)
UNION
SELECT role_name d, role_seq r
FROM APEX_APP_ROLES ar
WHERE security_level = 0
ORDER BY 1
returns all the rows and looks like this.
D     R
ACP_ADMIN     3
READ_ONLY     2
READ_WRITE_ALL     1
SERVICE_DESK_ADMIN     4

I've been using LR with my Nikon D3200 for a year or so. Shooting in RAW/NEF no issues with import etc until I updated LR and now I can't get LR to allow me to select when I try to import. It does show the images but they're grayed out and not able to be selected. Any thoughts? TIA

Greyed imaged in the Import dialog box mean you have already imported the photos into Lightroom, so there is no need and no benefit to importing them a second time.
Just go to the Library module, search for the desired photos, and resume working on these photos.

LOV with custom popup in af:query

Hi,
We have a use case where we need to display an LOV field in Search Panel (af:query). But, the LOV in Search Panel should be displayed with a custom popup.
Is it possible display a field in Search Panel as input LOV with custom popup ?

Hi,
Is it possible display a field in Search Panel as input LOV with custom popup ?
Yes. You assign a LOV definition to the attribute that then you display in the af:query component. You can also have dependnet LOV implemented this way. However, you cannot have a custom (your own) list of value popup dialog used

Creating LOV with Where clause

I'm trying to create a list of values from a select statementsomething like this
select customer_name, customer_number from customer
where Region = 'WEST';
I'm able to create a list of values of all the customers and numbers, but I could not
create a lov for a specific subset of that data, such as in the where clause.
Is it possible to create a LOV with a where clause?

Use bind variables to accept the region parameter. Also, it is good practice to accept a null parameter value. If your parameter is null, display the entire list of values. Your query would look something like this:
select customer_name, customer_number from customer
where Region = :region_name or
:region_name is null;

Fill the LOV with data during the execution

Hi
I am using Oracle 10g
I want to ask please if there is a way to fill the LOV with data during the execution
so can I change the query specified in LOV wizard during the execution and get a new record set according to the value in the text boxes
thank you for help

You can use the SET_LOV_PROPERTY built-in to change the record group of the LOV and to create a new record group you can use the CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY built-in.
it will be something like this.
RG_ID := FIND_GROUP('<record group name>');
IF NOT ID_NULL(RG_ID) THEN
DELETE_GROUP(RG_ID);
END IF ;

Grey screen with message "turn off computer with power button until switch off then press again power button"

Dear all,
I'm very hungry with my iMac and my Time Capsule :
I try for two weeks to restore my iMac without any success...
I wait 80 hours to finally have the message again and again : "to restart your computer : turn off computer with power button until switch off then press again power button".
But my iMac do not work !
Could you help me?

Hello, that's a kernel panic...
http://thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X 10.6 Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

LIST MANAGER - Replace popup lov - with stationary scrollable box

Sorry... I thought this was Oracle 10g XE form...could you direct me to right form.
LIST MANAGER - Replace popup lov - with stationary scrollable box...
The end result would be: 2 scrollable list boxes separated by the word ADD / REMOVE. One to select from and the other box to act as collection box
The popup LOV is quick and fast ..but is a little time consuming
Oracle 10g XE

Hi user518110,
1) please update your forum handler to a more friendlier name.
2) I think your are looking for the Shuttle component in Oracle APEX, like on the following page http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=2672:2
If you are using Oracle XE you are probably using Oracle APEX 2.1, you have to upgrade this version to Oracle APEX 3.0 which contains this new control. See http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/3.0.1_and_xe.html for details.
