How to reflash my n97 mini?

I bought an unlocked n97 mini but stupid me bought it from optus as telstra was sold out. So i can make calls etc just fine but I can't seem to use the internet/maps etc as it's trying to go through Optus Zoo.
How do i reflash/set the phone so it'll use the correct internet network?

Um, maybe after you login, there should be something like mobile internet and you should be able to have settings sent from there. Like I've said, I've never been with Telstra and their website seems pretty confusing compared to Virgin's (my operator), so it might take you a while

N97 mini connectivity issues

How do i make N97 mini connect to wi-fi automatically when i'm at home and packet network (3G etc.) when no wi-fi is available? Also how to make it prompt before connecting to packet network, as i get charged for it?
This phone has got a mind of its own at the moment, Facebook widget tries to connect to packet network even when an existing wi-fi connection is extablished (and spotify is using it). I get a beep every time it fails...very annoying!!!
In fact ALL widgets try to establish a packet connection when there's no need and i simply cannot change any settings to make this device work sanely.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your replies.
I have gone into Settings > Connectivity > Destinations. There are two access points under "Internet - "BeBox" (Wi-fi) and "O2 mobile Web". Now if i click on wi-fi > Options > Organise > Change Priority, the phone gives two options at the bottom of the screen - "OK" and "Cancel". I click OK. Nothing happens. Wi-fi still priority: 2, O2 mobile Web priority: 1. Tried many times, can't change it. Am i doing something wrong?
Also i set the Wi-fi to "Use Access Point: After Confirmation" from within Destination > Internet > Wi-fi connection > Options > Edit. However given about 30 seconds the phone has connected again to the wi-fi as seen in "WLAN" where it says "Connected to BeBox" (my wi-fi). But it never promted me if i wanted it to connect?? Of course i realise that it connected again also if i try to edit it again where it says "Access point is currently in use: Unable to Edit".
Previous to these changes described above i had set the home screen to "Content to offline mode". No other applications are open. If i set the home screen to "Online mode" i get repetetive error messages "Internet: Unable to connect, try again" which are sometimes very frequent so thai can't interact with the phone until they've stopped. Even with wi-fi at priority: 2, the phone does not attempt to connect to wi-fi once the "O2 mobile web connection" fails, it simply gives this error message. This happens even when there is an active and current connection to "BeBox" under "Connections. i.e. a good wi-fi connection.
I don't understand what this phone is going, i would really appreciate your knowledge and advice because this device behaving unlike anything i've ever used.
(I do intend to get the bolt-on etc at some point but at the end of the day i'd still like to know what my phone is doing and when.)
Thanks in advance.

N97 mini dropped in water

Hello,I have dropped my n97 mini in water.After disassembling it (cause warranty is voided if liquid issue) and drying it the device runs ok except for the microphone,when I receive a call I can only hear,not speak.I took the phone at a nokia care point and they said that the microphone is embedded on the motherboard and can not replace it...How can I make n97 mini`s microphone work?

have removed the battery and cover, slide open the screen, exposing the QWERTY keyboard and put inside a container with silica gel and cover the container , to try to remove the remaining water/moisture fromt he screen. and I shall say it is working!! the water stains look smaller ... hopefully in a few days time , it will remove all the water mosisture!
no need to dismantle anymore..

Pictures for my contacts, how N97 mini

look at this picture of a N97 mini
http://www.nokia.se/support-och-programvara/produktsupport/n97-mini
Just above the facebook icon there are a picture to 4 contacts, how in the whole world do i do that.
I tried for about 5 days now but cant get a grip of it, i have 4 small green dudes there and nothing changes whatever i do.
I belive its a shortcut for a phonnumber to a contact with a picture on it for a fast call???
Probably a very simple task to do anyway, if some 1 know how to do it , plz tell me.
Sorry 4 my bad english, im from sweden

Ok, maybe my explanation is not clear enough, so just as an example, go ---menu(silver Button)/tap photos/tap downloads/tap any photo that is there (for the purposes of this exercise it doesn't matter what the photo is)/tap Options and scroll down to Use image/ select Assign to contact/ select the first contact in your list/select OK.
Right the photo you picked is now attached to the first contact in your contacts list, if they call you or you call them, the picture will appear above their details on phone screen.
Now from home screen, tap one of the little squares on favourite contacts widget, when contacts open, tap the first contact on your contacts list and select ok. This contact and the photo you have attached will now appear on the widget. Assuming this works, and I promise it does, as I have both Favourite contacts widgets on my home screen with 8 photos and names, simply repeat the process, attatching photo's of the people you have as contacts, To remove a favourite contact:- go into contacts, highlight one of the contacts with a gold star next to them, select options, select Remove from favourites, select ok.
Hope this helps
Good Luck

What email client do you use? Nokia Email? Mail for Exchange of the default mail app?
How about IM? What apps do you have on your phone anyway?

How to fix your Nokia N97 and N97 mini

Hi al
As my previous post was deleted by the moderators here is a quick overview of how to resolve many issues with your Nokia N97 or N97 mini.
You like myself maybe having issues with freezes, applications not working properly, rebooting, home screen disappearing etc.
This I have found is due to Nokias firmware being modified by companies like 3 mobile/optus/telstra vodaphone etc. they modify the software to suit their requirmeents , but in the process cause issues with the software so it stops the phone from working properly.
To remedy this. Take the phone to your telco/mobile phone network operator and ask for them to authorise Nokia to update the firmware on your phone. once this permission is given you take it to Nokia and they will update the software with the correct version of the firmware for that phone.
Once this is done you should see no more issues with the phone and it should work well. Removing the original carriers "version" of the software seems to fix it, but you must have written permission from your carrier to Nokia to do this.
Cheers
][ce

The only way to go back to the old software has been described for you. It is not officially sanctioned by Apple. They do not provide a way to go back to former software. There is not currently a fix in iTunes, as the only thing iTunes does is provide a conduit for you to update firmware.
As provided before, Apple is addressing the issues with 3G and 3GS phones running slow with iOS4. According to developers with access to the iOS4.1 beta, it has been addressed there. You will have to either try the Genius bar as suggested, and I understand the distance issue, or you will have to wait for iOS4.1 to be released. If a restore as a new phone and a DFU restore do not work, then I'm not aware of any other alternative except what was provided above.
Edit: You might try and delete the iOS that you have on the computer and let iTunes download a brand new one. That might help.

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.

N97 mini - how to focus before taking picture ?

I want to use the phone as magnifying glass.
There was an app available from Nokia Beta Labs... which is not compatible with N97 mini.
You could also use the"T"-button on the E71 phone....
Is there such a function on N97 mini?
If i zoom to max possible zoom, then the picture is not focused, and the only way i have found out so far is to take a picture and then (after viewing) throwing it away.
Where is the focus button ????? Anybody knows?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's like a digital camera, you press the shutter button to the first "stop", hold the button at that stop to let it focus, then press it to the second stop to take the picture.

How Can I Re-Install Software on Nokia N97 Mini??

HELLO!
My brother bought a Nokia N97 Mini.
I guess it has a custom firmware, because it doesn't have the option for Software Update and when I connect it to the computer, it doesn't have the option for selecting "PC Suite" (Only gives me USB and CAM) so I haven't been able to update it or re-install it using the NSU.
Is there a way I can RE-FLASH the FW with the original Nokia Software or fix it in another way?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dialling *#06# should give you the IMEI number of the phone. Check the Imei number at this page: http://www.numberingplans.com/?page=analysis&sub=imeinr
I cannot guarantee that the page is 100% correct, but it has never failed me checking the IMEI number.
Don't post the IMEI here at this forum, but what does the site tell you about the device?
E.g. I just checked my HTC desire for fun now, and the site tells me that the IME number entered belongs to a HTC desire A8181 which is correct.
The site should tell you that you have a Nokia n97 mini and maybe some more info.
You can also compare the looks of your device to Nokias pictures of it here:http://www.nokia.co.uk/find-products/all-phones/nokia-n97-mini/gallery
Anyway, if it's a real Nokia but someone has managed to install a custom fw which is not (seems obviously to me) from a operator, the device is not under warranty.

How to reinstall N97 mini firmware

Hello,
I bought a Nokia N97 Mini phone, but it has some custom software version. I wonder if there is a way for me to reinstall the original Nokia software and if it can be found on the internet?
Thanks in advance.

what do you mean by "some custom software version"?
you can use Nokia Ovi Suite to reinstall the firmware to the device.

N97 Mini can no longer be found on iPhoto.

hey, will some one kind enough to sort me out this ' dreadful problem , my N97 mini has been working fine with iPhoto, getting images/ videos off my phone, now when i plug it in, i click Mass storage and nothing on iPhoto changes, everything else works like finder, because the folders on the desktop, but i dont no what's happened, the only thing changed from other times is i have recently upgraded to snow leapard but i dont see how that could be the problem.

If you had iTunes set not to copy added recordings into its own library, then the files might be anywhere and justreferenced in iTunes. Only you could know where you put the originals, but if careful searching doesn't find them that suggests they've been deleted.
If it did copy the files but you have deleted the library from your 'Music/iTunes' folder then the songs are gone. Again, if searching produces no results then the songs would appear to be missing from your computer.
With no backups, and the songs deleted, they are lost. 'iTunes in the Cloud' might enable you to re-download songs you had purchased, but I doubt this works on Leopard, which your signature says you have.

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.

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 !!
