Help ota on n97 mini

Hello i am trying to update my n97 mini via ota but it just says checking for updates for ages ;is there a special server setting for ota or something please help im on three network

The answer is correct, however the answer for 2 is the 'breathing light' which is arround your menu button, if you go Menu-settings-phone-Notification lights-Standby br.light make sure it's set to ON. Then in Notification light set the period of time you want it to 'blink' and tick the events you want to be notified of !
For 3 there are only two shortcut widgets, but you can 'optimise' them by using apps that perform multi function, ie I have messaging (not txt or email) as one so I can get to all messaging facilities direct from home screen, Opera mini gives instant access to 9 pre chosen web sites (I have FB and Twitter amongst mine) and Snaptu , which offers a multitude of 'applicatios' direct to your homescreen !!
Good Luck

plz my humble request to answer my querry and help me in this matter asap i would be very grateful...
alsoo.. can i claim warranty for this? ( i have around 11 months left)

Hi there!
To fix the problem, you can try the following:
Check that your device has SIM card properly inserted and that the device is not in the offline mode. When in offline mode, the device has limited WLAN functionality and may not find e.g. the hidden WLAN networks.
Check that you are under the coverage of the WLAN network. Enable 'Show WLAN availability' in the Wireless LAN settings of the device. When this setting is enabled, you should be able to see an indication when a WLAN network is available. You can also use the Connection mgr. or WLAN tool in your device to check which WLAN networks your device is currently seeing.
Check that the WLAN access point is properly configured in the connectivity settings of your device and that the WLAN security settings match with the settings of your WLAN network. The WLAN networks are typically configured with some sort of security enabled (WEP, 802.1x, WPA/WPA2) and it is important that the corresponding security settings are defined in your mobile device.
If you have other devices already successfully connecting through WLAN, check and compare that the same WLAN security settings are used in your mobile device.
Check that the correct access point is used when trying to connect to WLAN. Go to the web browser settings and select the WLAN access point or destination which has been defined in your device. Try to connect to a web site and check with the Connection mgr. tool if the WLAN connection becomes active.
If your device is using destinations (groups of access points) instead of single access points in the connectivity settings, check that the WLAN access point is at the top of the list in the destination settings (otherwise the device will try to connect through an access point which is higher up in the priority list).
If you are not able to connect to WLAN even though the WLAN settings are properly configured, reset the WLAN access point (WLAN router) to default (factory) settings and begin defining the wireless network again so that there are no security features, no hidden ssid, no mac filtering, etc. This way you can troubleshoot at which point the gateway error appears.
Disable Bluetooth connectivity in your device while being connected to WLAN. Bluetooth and WLAN operate on the same frequency range and may interfere with each other.
Restore(reset) your mobile device back to original (factory) settings. You can do this from general settings of your device. Please see more detailed instructions from your device user guide. Note: It is recommended to backup the device before resetting it.
Check that your WLAN network is configured to deliver IP address automatically via DHCP to the connected devices. The mobile devices are by default configured for automatic IP and DNS address retrieval from DHCP server. This is the default mode in most WLAN environments but if using fixed IP addresses, you need to configure the addresses manually in the advanced level settings of your phone (phone IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS addresses).
Check that there are free IP addresses in the address pool of your WLAN DHCP server. If there are other devices already connected to your WLAN (e.g. PCs), all the available IP addresses may already be reserved and the phone doesn't get an IP address allocated to it. Add more IP addresses in your DHCP server settings or release an IP address from another WLAN connected device. Note that switching off the device doesn't yet release the IP address, you should release the address manually (e.g with "ipconfig /release" command in Windows PC) or wait for the IP address lease to expire (which can typically take a few hours).
Check that your WLAN environment is not configured to filter the access based on the device MAC address. If using MAC based filtering, the MAC address of your mobile device must be added in the filter list. The WLAN MAC address of your phone can be checked by typing command *#62209526#.
Hope tis' help!

Quickly I want a help with my nokia n97 mini at th...

hello my nokia n97 mini freezes when i turn on my phone when the nokia screen appear usually at the beginning it freezes why? and How i can solve this problem i need a help now please

I understand you correct if it stops booting before you reach the homescreen?
Do you have a memorycard? - You should pull that out and make sure that the memory card isn't causing the issue?
Could it be any apps you have installed?
What FW are you on?
There are lots of things you can do to try to sort this out.
What I would do is to get it updated if possible, if you cannot or are on the latest one and have no clue, do a soft reset and a format of the memorycard and mass storage and rebuild the phone. First with your contacts, messages, music etc, and then with apps. Monitor carefaully how the phone behaves after 3rd party apps you install. - In that way you will have better chances of knowing what may cause problems in the future, and there wont likely be necessary to soft or hard reset it again.
Note that you will have to back up your content before you perform a soft or hard reset as this will wipe your phone memory, same with a format of the memorycard or the mass storage.
If you cannot get the phone on at all, try removing the battery for at least 5 min before putting it back together and try turning it on. - You could also try removing the memcard if you have one.
Do you know how to check for fw updates?

N97 mini annoying me! can anyone help?

Hi, my n97 mini is getting on my nerves......
when it decides it will show me the name of who is txing me, then on the next it will just display the number????
only had it a cple of weeks does it need repairing?
thanks, Dawn

This is a well-known issue with Symbian devices. If you have a phone number allocated to more than one contact or a duplicate entry on the phone or SIM card, the phone will display only the number of the person calling you as it won't know who is actually phoning as the number is shared by more than one contact. Easily fixed by removing duplicate names and/or numbers.

N97 min wont sync

I cant get my N97 mini to sync through OVI suite, it doesnt matter if i try sync all or each one individually. Should i just back up and then reformat my phone?

I would think it's an issue with the computer software , rather than phone ! Check you have the latest version of Ovi suite and maybe try removing all Nokia/Ovi software from computer including drivers and try a clean install. There is a new Ovi suite beta you could try and also you can sync OTA using your Ovi Account, a hard reset is a long job and best left as a last resort !

Data recovery from N97 mini

Hei all,
I’m using Nokia N97 mini.
Along with Phone memory and Mass memory, I inserted one 1GB memory card also.
Yesterday, I was trying to copy some files in ‘mass storage’ mode via cable into that 1GB card. While copying, some files could not be copied and I got error message.
So, I aborted the whole operation. From then, I couldn’t find my personal data from the Mass memory.
Along with some system folders on the mass memory, I have one folder ‘My data’ in which I save all my data.
I’m unable to see the ‘My data’ folder.
It shows that ~2GB memory is being used on mass memory. If I check the size of all folders that i can see, its only 45MB.
So, my folder is occupying space. But, i’m unable to see that.
Please help me in recovering my data.
-Babloo

Download and install an app from www.ovi.com called y-browser and see if that allows you to see your folder.

How to install Python 2.0 on N97 mini?

My Nokia N97 mini offers me to install Python for S60 2.0 . But the installation with "Softwareaktualisierung" fails .
Unfortunately there's no information why the installation failed . Is there a log anywhere where I can get some more
information?
Or can I download Python 2.0 somewhere and install it manually?
Note that I installed Python 1.9.7 manually on the phone - but the installations also fails after manually removing
Python 1.9.7
regards
Bernd

The later versions of Python have had issues installing. I'm using 1.4.5 without any problems.

Connection fails between N97 mini and Ovi Suite

Hi,
I have had many kind of problems connecting my N97 mini with my laptop but have finally hitted the edge in this issue and didn't find an answer existing here.
When I updated my Ovi Suite to the latest version the connection to my N97 mini was cutted off. This was maybe two weeks ago and I haven't been able to connect the phone to the laptop with PC suite connection form ever since (and no further updates available). I can sure connect with the Ovi Music in other connection forms and store the music to my phone but any connections with the Ovi Suite fails. There for I cannot sync my photoes or address book or get the new updates by my computer. What could I do to get the connection back? Install an older version again? Where to get one?
Today I checked the program updates with my phone application and there is software version 12.0.110 available to upload. Well, my phone does offer for other updates to "start to update" but this one gives only option to "update via computer" (sorry I don't know the exact terms for the option written in the quotes since I use my Nokia in Finnish ). How could I get the updates to my phone via computer when I cannot connect with the Ovi Suite anymore??
I really hope anyone have had the same problem (it's really irritating) and still hopefully wait for some answers...
Any help sincerely appreciated!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unfortunately there is no easy solution to this one as it is probably de to the installation of the Ovi Suite update on your laptop.
The first thing you could try is to uninstall and reinstall Ovi Suite. You could also try using the PCsuite cleaner which should ensure that the previous installation is properly removed before reinstalling.

N97 Mini works slowly with data!

I'm using N97 Mini and I feel that this model working very hard at:
- Delete data such as: photo, music, video... special when I select more than one file. It's even hardly to open Options menu. After deleting, it still shows files that i've deleted until one minute later.
- The Ovi suite works hard so. It works incorrect when sync photos. There're 2.000 photos in my library and only 800 photos in my phone (synced Photos ), and more. I tried to copy new files to my phone using "copy to the device" action. It takes an evening to do this, and when i browse photos, i realize there's duplicated files ( 2, 3, even 4 same files).
That's all slow things I realized until now.

Hi, I find aeiting files easier using computer connected via usb in mass storage, go to 'my computer, open E or F drive and add, remove or edit files there !
Just remember to set memory in use for messages back to E when you've disconnected phone as it resorts to C after usb connection.
Good Luck

Music Files and Memory Card On N97 mini

I,ve own my N97 mini for about a month now, been serving me well except for this problem...
I created a folder on the E:/ drive for storing musics I transfered via PC Siute but I noticed that I can't seem to find the onces I trasfered via Bluetooth. When I open the music player and refresh, it seems some of the musics are not added to it. When I open the folder I created for musics I see the songs there but when I go back to the music player it ain't there.
What can be done?
I added an 8G memory card to my phone and it's been misbehaving. Problems ranging from slow boot up and opening of applications to this error NOT ENOUGH MEMORY PLEASE DELETE SOME DATA whenever I try to open the music player. I understand that N97 mini can take upto 16G memory card but how come 8G gives it problems?

Why on EARTH are you transferring music by Bluetooth ??? Simply connect the phone to your computer by usb cable in Mass Media mode. The phone will show in 'My Computer' as an external hard drive E. Open it and your music folder will be there. Then drag and drop any music you want FROM your computer TO the 'Music' folder on your phone, safely disconnect the phone from computer, go to music player and refresh music, that's all there is to it !!

N97 mini: messages

Hi,
I have a very annoying problem with my new Nokia N97 mini.
When I get a message from someone, my phone is only showing me the number of this person instead of showing me the name of the person. This is very annoying because I don't know all those numbers...
Can please anyone help me? Because a lot of stores where I told my story couldn't help me.
Thanks

It will be multiple entries, you either have two manes attached to one number, or in settings in contacts you are either using multiple memories or sim memory, you need to set to Phone memory as source for caller ID to work. Best way to check for multiple entries is to go through your contacts in Ovi Suite, many posts on this subject, it's always multiple entry !!

I can't continue te be given new phones that don't work properly.
What should/can I do more?
Thank you for your help.

when phone startup and not enter lock code the screen is off when used unlock key to open screen not open screen

Nokia N97 Mini Wi-Fi Keeps Seaching

Hi,
I am experienceing a very unpleasant problem with my N97 mini and so far I haven't seen any recommendations or recovery tips on this one. When I go into the WLAN settings and start searching for a connection (for example my home Wi-Fi), the phone just keeps searchin and never stops. In the back it only show "Other (Hidden Network)". I've also tried to you the hidden and typing in the name of my home network. Didn't work. I updated the software, tried a few other things, still nothing. It just keeps on searching...
Please help me and let me know if someone had the same problem.
Regards,

If it is your own wifi then you should have the passphrase if you set it up or altervatively, some routers come with the security preset in the factory in which case the passphrase is usually printed on the label underneath the router.
There are a few possible reasons why your phone may not be seeing the router. The most common is the router is set to hide SSID. Check router settings to make sure SSID is not hidden.

No notification of Messages in N97 mini

My phone has only +100 contacts and +3900 messages but whenever a new message arrives there is no notification about it on the screen nor the ringtone is played for the sms
When i format the phone the problem is not there but as i restore my data (contacts and messages) back the same problem contineus but when i restore the same data to any other phone ( including n97 mini ) the problem is not there.
Also when i try to restore the backup which i had originally restored in my n97s from n95 8gb ( my previous phone ) the restroing process hangs when it reaches the messages but it works fine in other phones
I went to nokia care they said we can't help it !!!
According to them there is a virus or 1 one of the message is corrupt
still to make sure i scanned my phone with a mobile anti virus
but as far as i know there is no virus known till now for s60 phones and how can a message be corrupt as it is a single 1 kb file ???
when i explained this to them they said that nokia gives garuntee till 999 messages but i could'nt find this writen anywhere in the end user agreement
and their suppervisor suggested me to write my problem here.

it's possible i guess that the database has become corrupt.
a soution might be to syncronise, or drag the messages to your computer using the ovi suite, or even better the pc suite. delete them from the phone and then drag them back again.
though i can't for the life of me think why you don't just delte them.
There's no dignity in begging for kudos. Do it for the karma.
