Isit Worth Upgrading To V21. - Nokia N97

Nokia Ovi Suite says that there is a new version that improves call reliability, stability etc.
All these great things....but my phone (one of the few) seems to work perfectly well at the moment.
So isit worth upgrading, since some of these upgrades can just wreck everything anyway?
Any thoughts here?
Thanks....

Yes DO IT, and reset as well, once it's done, install Nokia maps 3.03 followed by memory re-organizer ! And try RamBlow for a couple of weeks, I think you'll find it works great and is worth the £8 ! It will be like having a new phone
Good Luck

No firmware upgrade for my Nokia N97 PC 0586701

Yes!!! ...and another thread. I also bought my device from amazon, not branded and for much money. And Yes!!! I'm also waiting for the upgrade.
On the one hand Nokia 's Informatin is: "Neuestes Software-Release für Nokia N97 ist 20.0.019"
(and there is also the firmware 21 out)
And for the PC 0586701 they say "Latest available software for Nokia N97, product code
Version: 12.0.026"
What the f***???
Once I was a satisfied customer and this is my 12th Nokia deivice. The expensivest is the N97. But it's the device with the worst service. It will be my last Nokia and maybe I should better switch to Apple'S iPhone.

your mobile is :
0586701: N97 Germany (DE) CV B
and updates for country variant delays in some countries

Nokia N97 - No Text Message Notification and a Few...

I love my nokia n97, but i'm rapidly falling out of love with it, i have owned it since the end of august and this is the first time i have really hit a major problem with it.
The main problem being is, that the phone no longer gives me a text message notification or noise in that it being on the home screen it does say "1 new message" and i have to constantly have my inbox open to see when i have a new message and constantly check it all the time, for a person who is texting constantly this is probably one of the most annoying problems. If it makes any odds its using the mass memory.
I called the support line and have tried the following:
- Upgraded the firmware (no effect)
- Hard reset the phone (without the backed up data on it, the text message notification works, after placing data back on it, problem comes along again)
- Cleared cache (no different)
- Hard reset the phone and restored data on phone without the settings (this has worked for a while, less than a day, and is now playing up again)
Along with a few other problems that have started which i am confused whether it is the actual application or my phone that is the issue with this:
Facebook - No longer works proberly, freezes regulary, excessively slow at loading any content up.
AccuWeather - Can never find my location through gps and sometimes unable to load data for a pre-set location.
-At points through the day i do get error messages too that don't really make much sense, "cannot retrieve data" "error" and "internal error, reset phone"
Also when hard resetting the phone the second time round, originally built in applications disappeared so i had to re-download them through Ovi Store again.
Other problems include phone basically freezing regulary mainly on startup, and start up time being long before it lets me push a button, and loading content for the homescreen, the 3 widgets and the speed-dail take excessively longer than they use tooo.
My phone is suppose to be getting 'repaired' within 48 hours, is this true? I got told by a friend that his took 2 weeks+.
Or a replacement and how does this work and who is responsible for giving me a replacement. (Nokia, t-mobile, mobilephonesdirect?)
Could all these problems be linked back to a faulty sim card?
What on earth has happened to my phone, is this fixable, isit a software bug that cannot be sorted, why has this happened, why now, i have never run into any problems before?
Is there something in the data, i can't think of anything, if so what?
This problem started totally randomly?
Isit somesort of weird memory issue?
If i was to get a new phone, will i not run into the same problem again, what happens if i do? Do they keep replacing it or fixing it all the time?
Sorry for a long post, hope someone here can help......

N97 is going back in again today for them to confirm it is un-repairable and then they are going to send me out a new one.
The guy said it was a software issue which was caused by t-mobile putting their own software on the phone, which is absolutely stupid, if operator's software is going to cause a phone to malfunction, then don't let it on!!!

Hard reset Nokia N97 without knowing lock password

I received this phone from our inventory at work. I am not sure who used it before me. But, I do not know the lock pass code. How can I hard reset it without knowing the lock password. Everything I try, I am prompted for the lock password except one attempt. I held in the up arrow, shift key and back arrow while powering on. This did some type of reset. But, the lock password still is not 12345.
So, either the lock password for Nokia N97 is not 12345 by default, or this is not a true hard reset?
Any ideas?

You could try changing the sim, it may be a sim lock code and not a phone lock code, I have my sim locked but if I change for spare sim the phone doesn't require a code it just starts ! Worth a try ?

Nokia N97 LCD Screen Problems - a never ending sto...

Hello.
I recently purchased a new Nokia N97 smartphone. Everything about the phone is awesome, such as GPS, decent camera, good audio and video playback, etc, except for one thing. First thing first, I always see ghosting or 'burn-in' of images on the screen - quiet clearly on bright backgrounds. This is one of many annoyances as it often is visible when your watching movies and will only go away if the screen is off long enough. Another fault with the screen is that it appears to not refresh fast enough as I can often see what appears to be 'scan lines' running horizontal (if the phone is horizontal). Last, but not least, there appears to be diagonal lines crossing the screen from the top left to the buttom right as well as little matrixes of dots, however they do not seem to be on the LCD itself but rather the resistve layer. This may be just a feature to make the screen more reponsive, but I don't know and it is only visible in bright light, but when it is, you can diffently notice it. Does anyone else notice these strange effects? Will a Nokia Care Center help fix it?
And yes, screen proctectors have been removed.
Naito.

I have the exact same problems... Some other problems two.
When I get a call and my correspondent quits the communication before I do, the phone freezes and I m forced to turn the phone off to deblock it.
This is really annoying. Some times, just while navigating between menus the screen gets stuck between two menus.
I purchased the phone 2 days ago and as you sed, its a great phone but not worth the pries, far from it.
I m goanna bring it back to the shop to have it change to see if its my phone who has a problem or the entire N97 series.
If that's the case I ll go for an other phone. I have always used Nokia phones, and was happy about them but this time I m am really disappointed.
I ll let you guys know if I get these problems fixed or if it gets worst.

Do The New Nokia N97's Have The Latest Firmware Ru...

Do the new nokia n97's have the latest firmware running on them (V20) or do i have to upgrade it after it arrives?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That depends how long it has been since the phone left the factory? It is possible that some retailers have a stock that is very big, so that the phones that they sell right now have a firmware that is a few months old...
Where are you planning buying the phone?

Nokia N97 Mini recorder stops randomly

NOKIA N97 Dark/night shot imaging issue

there is imaging issue with night shot,whenever i shots pics in dark/night it gives me pic with white fadded in left side of image,is just bcoz of dual led flash which is very close to camera lens .anybody are facing the same problem...

Just thought I'd add a follow up to this. Last night as I couldn't add my email account using the standard Nokia N97 email set-up so instead I used the Email Client application (Email on 3) that came from Three Mobile (my network provider) in the UK. I have been using this Three mobile client for my work email but used the N97 email app for my hotmail but the hotmail account stopped working when I upgraded the firmware software a couple of days ago and have been unable to add any new email accounts using the N97 email application. However last night I added my hotmail account using the Three email client and on doing so I got back 42mb from somewhere. I don't know if this is a fault with Three email client or some other interaction somewhere but from nowhere I got all this space back.
For months I have been losing space and have been removing applications to get back last bits of space but was now down to below 1mb for the past week and ran out of apps to delete.
I think this was probably yhe Three client app but am a bit suspicious that after this firmware upgrade I cannot add any email clients using the standard built in email software.
Just though I'd post this in case it helps anyone else of points someone in the right direction. Will keep an eye on the space and see if it still goes down quickly and if so will try deleting the hotmail email account and see if that frees the space. I will post back if that is the case.
Definatley reluctant to do any more firmware upgrades from now on though as have lost my built in email app (fails to connect to any accounts anymore) and can no longer use the external wireless Nokia keyboard I had. Hate to think what I'd lose on the next upgrade.
Thanks

Nokia n97- ideas Pros & Corns!

hi all, i heard the nokia n97 is a successor of the n96 and i believe its going to give a beating to the sony xperia x1--what do you all think?
it does not have a mobile windows based system so maybe xperia takes more points that way....
other comments needed too pleasee....
What's Worth Doing, Is Worth Doing Well!
All "N-series" are incredible!

I was a HUGE WINMO FAN. i would not even considwer a phone to be a smartphone unless it had winmo.
But then I tried the nokia N95 last year and realised that s860 was a pretty nice OS also. Did not have aS MANY BELLS AND WHISTLES as winmo, but worked really well. Very intuitive and with a few tweaks had almost everything winmo had except for a truly dynamic desktop.
Then I bought an iphone3g and it was really intuitive and handled ms exchange even better than microsofy does,tHE SCREEN WAS GREAT, and the most responsive of any touch screen I have used, but it had a few too many limitation for me. cut and paste, no mms messages and a **bleep** camera.
So I decided to go back to winmo. Bought a HTC touch cruise and then an HTC touch diamond. I realised afer the journey through these phones, winmo offered the most flexibility of any OS. Mpre tweaKS AND APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE TO WINMO THAN ANY OTHER os. hgowever THE INTERFACE was a pia even when disguised by touch flo, panels, etc.
Winmo needs a complete makeover amnd I hope they get it, but until they do I am a symbian fan and the N97 looks like it will be great.
Symbian has turned out to be the best compromise for me. I hAVE had n95-1 n95-4 N-96 AND NOW HAVE N85. These phones have all been super and if I wasnt a gadget nut would be happt with any one of them, but I am always looking for the next hreat thing. Right now it is the n85

NOKIA N97 and BH-507

Ho da poco comprato l'auricolare Nokia BH-607. Sono molto deluso. L'auricolare non è compatibile con il Nokia BH-607. Alla prima connessione tutto ok, infatti viene riconosciuto dal software ACA. Poi, una volta spento il telefono, o interrotta la connessione bluetooth, o trascorso un'oretta, il software ACA non riconosce più l'aulicorare e per farlo rivedere, bisogna effettuare l' Hard Reset del cellulare. ho chiesto aiuto al supporto tecnico on line e, senza perdere tempo, mi hanno detto di andare in un Punto Nokia. Io non ho la possibilità di perdere giorni di lavoro per un stupido problema di software. Se qualcuno ha avuto il mio stesso problema ed è riuscito a risolverlo, fatemi sapere. Grazie.
I recently bought the Nokia BH-607. I am very disappointed. The headset is not compatible with the Nokia BH-607. The first connection all ok, it is recognized by the ACA. Then, once off the phone or stop the Bluetooth connection, or spend an hour or so, the software no longer recognizes the ACA aulicorare and to do that review, we must carry out the 'Hard Reset your phone. I asked for help to technical support online and, without wasting time, they told me to go to a Nokia Point. I do not have the possibility of losing days of work for a stupid software problem. If someone has had the same problem and managed to solve it, let me know. Thank you.

Both these links state that it is compatible...

Problem updating Nokia N97 firmware over the arir ...

OK here goes,
I'm having some real problems updating the firmware on my white nokia N97
I recently bought it of the web as a 12 month contract onto t-mobile (not there website though) in th uk
After noticing some problems i googled and noticed a firmware update had been released on 1st july 2009
I tried to get the firmwae over the air (OTA) via typing in *#0000# and selecting check for updates. I get no updates available for nokia and t-mobile (unsure what the difference is?)
So i heard try using nokia software updater.
i downloaded latest version 1.6.13 and installed it on a windows vista 32-bit home premium laptop ok
i have also installed all of the stuff that came with the cd with the phone (ovistore etc )
when i plug the phone into the laptop i get four options (PC, media, usb and something else) first time it ran it installed the necessary drivers and so therefore when i now plug it it just connects as expected.
so the laptop is detecting the nokia n97 at this stage
when i then load nokia software updater click next i put the phone into general mode on full charge with a sim card in it and click next again to detect the phone is pc suite mode
after about 2 minutes it says it can detect the phone although i can go to my computer and traverse the folder view!
i can even set it off looking for the phone pluggin it in and the autoplay options of vista will kick in in the background detecting the phone (ie outisde scope of nokia software updater)
i have tried all different connections mode pc suite mode etc different profiles nothing. tried it onto different pcs with different windows version on it. tried reinstalling software updater
my software version is 10.0.012 and my product code is 0587240
interestingly when i goto the can i update on nokias website it says no i have the latest version when i supply this information. weird
im kinda in catch 22 because there is a bug with pc usb detection of the phone in version 10 but i cant update to version 11 because of this bug
its driving me nuts any help greatly appreciated
thanks in advance
Cheers
kyle

just what i wanted cheers nokia
It will break your facebook as you have re-formatted the C: drive of you phone. Was you facebook installed to the E: drive by any chance?
Go to OVI Store and re-install it.
It may be work installing it from OVI Store then un-installing that one to clean off the mess you have been left with post formatt and then re-installing it fresh from OVI Store.
As I always say. Before doing a re-format always uninstall all apps/widgests before doing a hard reset or factory reset.
I also do a this and a factory reset before firmware updates to clean my phone. Should really do a hard reset/format as this would be cleaner still, but tehn I would have to do a lot more set-up afterwards.
