I Give up on E71

Just two months down the lane n my E71 has already started showing problems.
The company claims stanby battery duration of 15days but mine doesnt last long than a hour.
To add up to tat the portion near my camera gets heated up for no good reason and for that even my camera has blurred up.
All these ve jus taken up my faith n reliability on nokia...

Please tell me where a phone lasts in real world where the company be it Nokia Motorola Sony etc as long as it says it does, because I dont know where?
I want a phone that does everything takes pictures, emails continuously, makes 3 hour phone calls and in must be about the size of a credit card and lasts 2 months between charges  - this isn't going to happen.
Your battery could be faulty if it doesnt last an hour then this is a problem.  
As for the camera getting hot this sounds like a defect, and heat is generated by consuming power, and this could explain why your battery is not lasting as long, however because the majority of the external casing of the E71 is stainless steel, it could be heat generated by battery discharge and you actually holding the phone, but if it is getting hot then take it to a care point.

That link will help you find a care point in your local area,
The phone battery, is a chemical device which means its variable for a start, next the phone is tested in a lab with specific standards set with signal power and temperatures.
This means that under testing with only basic services this is how long the battery will last. If you have other stuff running then it will consume more power.
The battery is getting hot I'd imagine because of the rate it is being discharged, the heat is being conducted by the back of the case from the battery at a guess.

  • E71 gives a when I press q!

    Is there anyone have some idea why E71 outputs letter q when I press a and vice versa. Also z gives w and w gives z. Rest of the keys are OK. Software is 100.07.76 and Nokia code is 0569371.
    Thanks...

    It sounds as if you have a different software version to the region the phone was initially intended for.
    Some regions have different keyboard layouts and thus the software is manipulated to accommodate this as well as the keyboard itself.
    I would recommend you take the device back to where you bought it as it sounds as if they have fettled with the software thus invalidating your warranty.
    Excellent information.... Is there any way I can get the original keyboard layout by updating the software? I bought this unit from a used item shop. Usually mobiles in my region comes with Arabic keyboard but my unit is having only English keyboard.

  • PLEASE help me, i fed up with this E71 !

    I am suffering from some problems some of them i solved and other still in my Nokia E71:
    1. I downloaded and successfully installed the software (IM for nokia - chat on the go) from OVI store. Everything is ok but there is a major problem, when i sign in windows live messenger it gives me the following message "nokia messaging subscription is required to activate the services you have selected"
    I know my nokia messaging account but the software does not give me the chance to even enter the user name and the password it just gives me this message and i have no options. I do not know what does this software want me to do. i also saw this problem before raised by many persons. It is purely nokia's problem and they should have the solution.
    p.s. Attached snapshots from diff. steps of the program startup till getting the message.
    2. I have finished successfully the setup of my work email settings (pop3 email). the email is actually working it sends and it receives emails but only when i synchronize it manually, it does not synchronize automatically every now and then like we have in windows outlook. so it is useless like that. i looked into all the setting of the synchronization and nothing looks unusual or strange.
    I fed up really with this problem i kept trying to solve it for days.
    Please help me working with an email on the mobile without automatic sync. is really terrible.
    These are the settings of sync.
    When to sync (menu)
    Days : Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
    Hours: On all day
    Sync while roaming: Always sync.
    Disable sync. when: Never.
    Send and Receive: Soonest
    What can i do else?
    3. I also was want to register with my nokia account that sends you the software updates and latest news in SMSs, i registered and everything is fine but they said that a confirmation SMS will be sent to you and contains the verification number for you mobile phone number to complete the registeration provess, i did not get that SMS till now after several days from registeration. !
    My software is till the latest version but really i do not know why it is so complicated !

  • Connecting laptop to nokia E71

    Hi i just got a Nokia E71 from straight talk i was wandering if i could use it to connect my laptop to the internet if so how can i do that. I have downloaded  pc suite on my computer but its having trouble connecting to the internet. Thanks in advance for the help

    Hi, check out this tutorial first to make sure you do it the correct way: http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/pc-suites/how-to/connect-to-the-web
    If your device is brand new, I would check that you have the right internet acces point settings installed in your device. If you are missing internett and mms settings, you should usually be able to get them from your service providers internet site. If you cannot find it there, give them a call.
    You will have to connect using your service providers net on your phone, beware of that if you don't have a surf plan, I would check out the costs.

  • Nokia e71 menu key not working

    i recently updated the firmware of my phone, connecting to the computer using ovi. Now the problem is, when the menu key (left selection and home button) is pressed the menu doesnt open. This doesnt happen in the begining, but after some time it happens, and then onwards the menu doesnt open. Please give me a solution.

    Reset the E71. Dial *#7370# 12345 reformat, you'll lose all data. Make a backup first and restore without the settings.

  • Problem with E71 battery

    Hi all,
    I have purchased new E71, the problem is that the phone is charged very soon, aprox. in 30 mins. and the battery lasts about 2 days. I have changed the phone, thought that it was phones problem, but same with the other. I have taken the battery to service centre and they told that battery is good. I updated the firmware but problem still exists. Can you make some advice?

    DO NOT DRAIN your batteries completely, this is anew generation of batteries and it actually is potentially harmful to them to drain empty. it also REDUCES the life of your battery. when the battery gives you the first signs of low batt indication this is a good time with modern batteries to charge. charge it until it says it is full. no need to charge any further than that. batteries come partially charged out of the box these days. plug one into the phone and use it until batt low, charge it to full again and repeat the first three to four times. after that battery is good to go and you no longer have to worry about it. you can charge it as you please, just keep one thing in mind, do not let it discharge completely.

  • Can no longer install any apps on my E71

    Yesterday, no problem. Today, it's impossible to install any applications on my Nokia E71.
    All applications return this cryptic error message:
                          Application Closed: !InstallServer FSCLIENT panic 0
    Reboot. Problem remains. Install a different application, no-go. Java apps, same thing.

    Nice. I reflashed my phone, in order to try to solve the many, many problems I'm having with it. Now it insists on attempting to reinstall the software, from the memory card.
    Why, Nokia, don't you give users the choice of reinstalling the backup files? Did it not occur to you that some users might not want to reinstall, since SOMETHING on the phone has gone bad and has caused the users to reinstall the firmware?!
    Another freaking waste of time.
    Thanks, Nokia!
    Does anyone know how to stop the behavior which causes the E71 to attempt to reinstall its software, after the Updater has been used to reinstall firmware?

  • E71 - Nokia PC Suite - does not connect ? unable t...

    I installed Nokia PC Suite (v7.1) on my PC's:
    Connected Nokia E71 with USB-cable
    (Mass Storage > Via Windows Explorer  I can see the directories on the memory card of the E71)
    Problem-1: Nokia PC Suite gives error: "unable to find device"
    (while phone is unlocked, USB mode is not applicable)
    Problem-2:  Also Nokia Software Updater does not work (cannot find device)
    Happens both on XP and Vista PC.
    In other words... I can't access my E71 at all. Who knows a solution ?

    Hi, i just ran into the same problem with the "Device Not Found" I will give the steps for what fixed  my problem.
    Connect the phone to your computer via data cable. Select "Connect Pc to Web". Then, inside the folders run the installer.exe** and select Repair instead of Uninstall. Now your device should work like a charm.
    **If the installer.exe interrupts you saying that the version installed on the computer is newer than what you are trying to install and exits itself, you will have to go to control panel to uninstall Nokia Pc Suite and reinstall it with the phone you plan on using so it will be the correct version. Even after you reinstall Nokia Pc Suite you may have to run the installer.exe a second time and select repair before it will work. I did anyways.
    I hope this fixes your problems you are having. Also the reason it is hard to get tech support for stuff like this is because when you can connect your mobile internet to the pc you can use a lot of data because you have more access to things. Eventhough you may have an unlimited data plan most if not all companies will ban your phone possibly without notice if you use more data then they want you too. Also tethering, which is what we are all trying to do. Is illegal for most if not all phone companies. Always best to read the Terms and Conditions.
    As far as the USB not beeping when connecting the cable. I didn't hear mine either but it worked but if yours isn't working try this: Start -> Right-Click Computer -> Properties -> Device Manager-> Check all USB devices to  make sure they are working properly and you may need to reinstall them.
    Please reply to let me know if anything worked. If it did please check solution button to allow other people to find my post. Thanks for any replys to my post.

  • Nokia E71 Questions - 3G and GPS - URGENT PLEASE R...

    Hi everyone! Hope you are doing well. I am a big noobie when it comes to phone services.
    I am planning to buy an unlocked Nokia E71. My service provider is AT&T. I am currently using a Sony Ericsson w580i and I use the MediaNet data plan. However, I know the Nokia E71 is 3G capable.
    My question is: Once I buy my Nokia E71:
    1) How do I enable it for 3G? Is there a seperate service I have to pay monthly like MediaNet to get the speeds of 3G? How do I suscribe to the 3G service on AT&T?
    2) Does Google Maps on the E71 give the exact location of me? My w580i only gives me an "accurate" location within 1100 meters, which is totally not good enough for me.
    That would be all! Thanks everyone

    I have AT&T with an old Cingular SIM card.  I popped it into my E71 and it works just fine.   I can set the phone to UMTS (3g) and it will connect and use it just fine for phones and data.  Though for data it appears (to me) to go slow like it's still using Edge for data.  I might need to go in and get a new SIM card meant for a 3G device to get actual 3G speeds.  But right now it is not a big deal for me.
    3G is not a seperate service to pay for.  If you use it for voice then you don't need to do anything more.  Though for data.. like me.. you might need to get a newer 3G sim card to see its full speed potential. Be warned that you will need to get a data package (not the standard Pay Per Use). PPU will get $$$ very fast.  It is considered a smart phone and will cost like 29.99 for the unlimited data plan.  Though since AT&T doesn't have the E71 yet you can sneak by with the unlimited medianet option for 19.99.  Though if you use too much data AT&T might notice it and take the medianet option off without telling you and stick you on the pay per use plan which will cause your bill to be very $$$.
    I have used google maps and it plays just fine with the internal GPS (you WILL need a data connection to use gmaps!)  I think it has said it has locked on to within 20meters for me.  I havnt used it in a while but I think that's the closest its got.
    Another option is the builtin Nokia Maps.  Not as user friendly in my opinion. But at least you can download maps to a memory card and not have to worry about using data all the time.
    Hope this rambling helps.

  • E71: Duplicate/Dead Icons in Installations folder

    My E71 came with the Tiger Woods PGA Tour game pre-installed, but recently the game icon began to duplicate itself... Now I am left with three PGA game icons in my installations folder and none of them works... I also tried to uninstall the game, but only one of the icons allows uninstall and that too it gives an error halfway thru, saying 'Removing Failed!'...
    I've tried Nokia MIDlet restorer, but that didn't work either...
    Any ideas??

  • E71 wifi connection works in browser, but not with...

    I need help badly.
    On my Nokia E71 I can easily connect to a wireless network and browse the web from the browser. But when I try to read my Gmail from the mail client on the phone I get an error message "Unable to connect to e-mail server". The settings are correct since if I switch to GPRS/3G connection, then the client connects to the server and downloads the messages. This is weird. The same is for VoIP and Fring and Nimbuzz, they all work with GPRS/3G but they don't when I choose wi-fi.
    What's more weird is that other people in the building use their person handhelds for the above purposes. The IT guy administering the network assures me no ports are blocked and that's obvious, since people use Skype and check their emails through the same wi-fi spots in the building. I fee l am missing something easy to solve, but I can't get through. Please help!

    Hello mgoksoy,
    Thank you for your reply. The problem is not with wifi connectivity option but inability to connect to wifi. For instance, if I run Nimbuzz, the settings are set to request from me each time I start it which connection to use - gprs or wifi. I choose GPRS it works alright, I choose wifi it does not connect and gives me "socket connection failed!" error. I get the same error in other wifi networks, so this is not about one specific wireless network. The same is with other applications, when I choose wifi connection it simply does not connect, like to gmail via nokia email client, I get a "unable to connect to e-mail server" error, whereas if I connect with GPRS, it works fine. And one more important, I can connect to all wifi's and browse the web via browser. But it's just the applications that won't connect and I was thinking if there was a setting in my E71 that need to be adjusted to allow applications wifi connections.

  • E71 issues so far, HELP!!!

    ok i've had my e71-1 a total of two weeks and so far come across two major problems that are driving me mad,and have discovered that they are linked.firstly when connected to my pc, the fone will not allow me to 'safely remove, i know enough about pc's to understand task manager and have closed down any and every app that could possibly be accessing my phone and still comes up wit either something is using nokia.......lcif dvice or using nokia...... Usb obec device. Forcing me to simply remove the cable. This then brings about the seond problem, the wonderful 'file corrupted message on any theme or app i try to install. I tried the recommended encryption tricks etc and nothing worked,had to resort to full reset via the *#7370# after removing memory card to resolve it.would prefer nt to do that three or four times a week as i like my phone setup a particular way that takes some doing. So any input into the first safely remove issue would be greatly appreciated. If it makes a difference my system is running vista sp1.
    Thanks

They never give me a satisfying answer whenever I call them and the local nokia care centre in bangalore dont know the where abouts of my phone. please some body help. I am planning to take this issue to the consumer court.
    first of blu is right, you are hijacking his thread. second if you want to contact nokia you can do so by using the contact us button on the top right of this page. this is a user to user forum and all nokia care points are actually independent and work on nokias behalf. i understand you are frustrated but this is really not a place that can help you with it. users here come to trouble shoot and problem solve issues are they pertain to mobile phones and software mostly.

  • E71 firmware upgrade for A1 network - Nokia unable...

    Hi,
    Nokia, please make firmware v210 available to product code 0570359.
    i have an E71, use it heavily in business and have standardized our company on it and need to upgrade it to v210 firmware, because the v100 is so buggy. i had 7 email interactions with nokia support and a1 support but both point the finger to each other and are of no help. so the last option is to use the forum, before i feel forced to switch my company over to the iPhone because of lack of nokia software support and upgrades.
    the network provider A1.net says they have accepted firmware 200.21.118 already last year and informed Nokia in December 2008 to release v200 for this product code 0570359. A1 even says they have reconfirmed now again that the acceptance of the firmware has reached nokias support team. but when I check the nokia updater and the nokia website, it still says my firmware v100 is the latest. I know that even firmware v210 exists, know the list of fixed issues, so I actually want that one.
    Is there anyone out there to help with this mess and help nokia from loosing even more business users over to the iPhone? 
    Bernd G.

    first of all, it isnt Nokias fault. once firmware is released, they do their very best to roll it out and usually achieve this in a few eeks to most regions for their generic product codes (i.e. firmware that is not operator-branded). in your case, there is some kind of miscommunication between your operator (A1) and Nokia, that has resulted in the delay of firmware released for your particular product code. Nokia simply provide the firmware to A1, who then decide whether to actually release it or not with their logos and whatnot all over it (i.e. operator customisation) or if they do not, they will not release the firmware to the users. so all you can do is haggle A1 about it and hope they hurry up and release the firmware.
    another option is to ask the A1 guys to sign a release so that you can take your phone to your local Nokia Care Centre and have it flashed with generic firmware. although this is often unlikely to happen as customer service for operators usually do not know what users are talking about when you request this, or are too stubborn/lazy to allow it to happen. but nevertheless, you can try anyway and maybe something good can come out of all this.
    If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

  • E71 web browser will search for WLAN connection in...

    The E71 web browser will search for and present a list of WLANs whilst the phone is in offline mode without asking first. When you then select a WLAN from the list, it does ask if you wish to create a WLAN connection in offline mode. Surely it should ask before searching?

    With new FW i can't set, that browser ask me.
    Before new SW , browser alwasy give me an option to choose wlan connection..
