Nokia N73

Hi i have just bought a new Nokia N73 and i have a couple of questions and i carnt fine the answers in the manuel.
1 The light sensor on the top of the phone is blinking a blue light. why is this normal and why is it blinking.
2 As i am new to this phone and i am not sure just what i am doing it seems that the phone is trying to connect to the internet quite a lot . So how do i stop this connection to the internet untill i want to connect.
Hope someone can help

1: Turn off the "Sleep mode" in the Settings app (at cost of increased battery consumption), if you want the blinking LED to stop blinking when the phone is idle.
menu|Tools|Settings|Phone|Display|Sleep mode|Off
2: Make sure you haven't installed any applications that regularly try to connect (probably not, if you just got it). Otherwise, in the Settings app (again), remove any default access points.
menu|Tools|Settings|Connection|Packet data|Access point|None
Change also "Packet data conn." to "When needed" in the same place.
While tweaking, change also this setting to "All:
menu|Tools|App.mgr|Options|Settings|Software installation
And, finally, most of the available applications (freeware, shareware or commercial apps) for S60 3rd Edition based devices, like your N73, you can find here:

Nokia N73 + CR-28 cradle + CK-7W carkit

hello i have my NOKIA N73 in a cradle CR-28 with the carkit CK-7W and it works great! And i don't use the bluetooth, because now he is charging the battery and the light wil stay on.

My N73 works fine with a CARK-126, using a CR-28 cradle. I've put some photos on my blog if you want to see for yourself:

Why doesn't Nokia list this cradle as suitable for the N73 on their website?!

Connect a Nokia N73 to a PC in the year 2013?

Hi!
I have a Nokia N73 on my desk which keeps rebooting at random intervals. This used to be my phone but I gave it away to my brother. He has been using it for about a year without any problems. He did drop it once on the pavemen and the plastic screen protector got a crack. But the screen itself was not broken and it still worked. This was a long time ago. So I don't think it's anyhow related. But I'm letting you know anyway. It was only lately that it started rebooting itself, as if it has a mind of its own.
Now, given that I am the previous owner of this phone I know its history. I know that the "power on power off" issue has been plaguing N73 users as early as 2007/2008, when this was only a 1 year old model. So this is not a new issue. But I have never experienced this issue with mine. I guess it was just a matter of time, a ticking bomb if you will, before the error manifests. Now I know what that looks like.
So I'm thinking this is most probably a software/firmware issue. So I want to try to reset this thing and watch what happens, which brings me to the main problem here. Since this is an old model it's hard to do anything with this thing due to Nokias continued lack of support for old models.
I installed Nokia Suite 3.8.48 on Windows 8.1. I then connected the phone with a USB cable. I chose "PC Suite" option on the phone. Then I got this stupid error.
USB device not recognized
So I thought that it was missing some drivers and that the Nokia Suite did not install it for me, for whatever the reason. So I googled it and found the Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver (7.1.182.0). I disconnected the phone, installed the driver, connected the phone again, and still the same error came up. I tried repairing the driver installation and it did not help.
So what do I do now? Can I expect any help from Nokia with this issue? I am not asking for much. All I ask for is some bits of software so I can help myself. The least Nokia can do in my opinion is to host their previous software releases on their website. Yes, I mean the old PC Suite, Ovi Suite, Nokia Suite, etc. I don't ask them to continue supporting it and updating it if it's discontinued or deprecated software. And of course, since it's closed source it's impossible for other folks to continue the development. But the least they can do is host previous releases. I much rather download an EXE from Nokia than from some funny place like Banana Island or whatever...
And what about those software updates? When you google "nokia software update" the first thing you find is the main page for the various flavors of Nokia software suites where you click on the type of device you have (Symbian, Windows, et. al.) and it takes you to the download link for the EXE for Nokia Suite (in case of Symbian). But there are never any download links for the actual phone firmware/software/OS upgrades. The software suite grabs the appropriate file or files and installs it automatically. But what if you need to do this sh** manually? Or what if you want to keep a deposit of previously released phone software/firmware? Obviously Nokia won't host old phone software indefinitely.
And it's not like they do their best to make the new "PC SUITE, aka. OVI SUITE, aka NOKIA SUITE, aka "SOMETHING" SUITE, fully compatible with old phone models. So users with old Nokia products would have to use some of the old software tools, tools that Nokai no longer supports, nor hosts or links to.
What if you want to downgrade from a current version to a previous version? I'm not sure the automatic software update even still works on these old handsets (e.g. Nokia N73, et. al.) and what do you do in that case? What if you just need to reflash the phone with the same firmware that's already onboard? The answer is: you won't be able to! The software suite will only check for new versions, and if no new versions are found (obviously, since it's an old product for which there is no more development) it won't present any firmware/software at all to be flashed to the phone. Great!... just f****** brilliant! Or not...
The main reason why I need the Nokia Suite is obviously because I don't want to loose any data. I would have used it to create a full backup of the phone. So much for plan A, and I don't have a plan B. This totally sucks...
So what's with the "Nokia Suite" anyway? What happened to the "Ovi Suite"? Last time I held a Nokia phone in my hands it was called Ovi Suite and it had replaced the "PC Suite". I'm guessing you guys are having trouble deciding on how to name your software?... The Nokia Suite looks a lot like the Ovi Suite to me...
Can this thing do a full blown backup of the phone? The Nokia Suite? If not, I wont' waste my time with it. It doesn't allow me to click anywhere. I can't click on the View, Sync or Tools menus. So I can't explore its functionality. Not until I manage to connect a phone to it. This sucks... it reminds me of why I moved away from Nokia in the first place.
Solved!

Nokia Suite 3.8.48 is not compatible with Windows 8.1
I installed Nokia Suite 3.8.48 on my old Windows Vista PC and it worked! So I conclude that the damn thing is not compatible with the latest re-incarnation of the Windows 8 system, namely 8.1. For whatever the reason it just didn't like my Windows 8.1 computer very much. It's clearly a compatibility issue on some level. It's a brand new computer by the way, it's a desktop PC, custom built, with a clean genuine install of WIndows 8.1. I installed it myself from the retail box (full version). No issues with it whatsoever, no software issues, BSOD issues... nothing... up until now. Installing the Nokia Suite software from the same installer file worked very well on my old Windows Vista computer. No need to install any additional drivers! It just worked! All device drivers installed properly when I connected the phone. And Microsoft wants to discontinue Vista in favor of Windows 8.1... I hate those muppets.
I know I've read that Nokia Suite 3.8.48 is Windows 8 compatible, I think I read it in the FAQ, but there were no specifics about whether that means 8.0 only or 8.0 AND 8.1. So it's a guesswork! And my guess is that it's compatible with Windows 8.0 but not with Windows 8.1. Even though I know that the changes between them are slim, if any. But don't blame me for that, blame Microsoft! I'm sure Microsoft wishes that Windows 8.0 never had happened! Just like they are wishing that Windows Vista never had happened! It shows, by their decision to drop Windows Vista support on most recent Microsoft software products. Windows 7 will follow the same fate. I'm sure they just wish they could pull the switch on every previous OS version, starting from XP, through Vista, 7 and Windows 8, and make everyone upgrade to the retarded Windows 8.1.
The worst thing is... Nokia has partnered with Microsoft... what good can possibly come out of that?... There's a rumor that Nokia is working on an Android phone, known as Normandy project, or AoL (Asha on Linux). Yeah right! That will probably happen in... oh well... maybe in 100 years or so. You're way too late to the Android party. Nokia shot itself in the head when they decided to push forward with the Symbian OS and later the MeeGo. Then they started flirting with Microsoft.
I would hate to work at a company that has no clear vision of the future and no strong leadership. I pity you Nokia. What happened to you?... you used to be cool. I guess it's what happens to every company that refuses to adapt to changes and doesn't do it quick enough. You either swim or you sink. Nokia decided to sink. Not only did they sink, they sunk to Microsofts level of incompetence... I guess in a way... you guys deserve each other.

Nokia N73 - Birthdays + iCal + iSync = 2 day events

All day events in iCal are displaying on the Nokia N73 as expected, a single entry with the time displaying as:
0:00 - 23:59
However Birthday's don't display correctly. Rather, they appear as two day events on the Nokia N73 with the time dislaying as:
23:00 - 23:59 on the first day of the two day event and
0:00 - 23:00 on the second day of the two day event
I can't for the life of me figure out why only Birthday's are not syncing as single day events with the 0:00 - 23:59 time stamp!?!?
Anyone have any ideas please?
I know this often happens with Sony Ericsson phones if the daylight saving settings differ between computer and phone however I have ruled this out given that it is only happening with Birthdays.
Is anyone else in a position to perhaps test this on their Nokia phone? If so make sure you have a Birthday entry for someone in your Macs Address Book as well as having the "Show Birthdays calendar" setting checked in your iCal preferences and finally ensure you have the Birthdays calendar set to sync in iCal.
Many thanks!

You're blaming the wrong people.
Maybe.
I'd like to know how I could enforce progress in the solution of theses problems, anyway.
These are mostly limitations in the phone. iSync can
only do what the phone is capable of.
Yes, there are limtations in the phone.
But there are more or less elegant ways to circumvent them.
2.1 Speed dials have never been synced. They are a
feature of the phone. Not iSync or the Mac Address
Book.
Yes, I agree.
But new with Tiger/iSync 2.4 is that they are deleted from the phone when syncing. This wasn't the case before.
2.2 Whitespaces? What do you mean?
I put spaces in my phone numbers for easier reading.
2.3 That's a limitation of the Nokia calendar.
Yes, it is.
But iSync prior to 2.4 (or 2.3?) had a more elegant way of dealing with them.
Does the fact that you've tried iSync plugins from
THREE different sources not tell you that the problem
is with limitations in the phone NOT iSync?
Or it only tells me that plug-ins in general are not that powerful.
The question remains to me:
What can be done to get this working properly?
Any ideas?

Help needed ! Message sending failure in Nokia N73

HI I am using nokia n73 for almost 2 years,
From last one week i am unable to send messages, as soon as i send a message, in the outbox it changes to resend and when i resend it and after four times it moves to failed state.
I have tried the sim in different mobile and messages are working fine, there are no issues with the n/w provider. I have formatted the memory card, phone and even then my problem still persists.
Can anyone please help me .

Though you have mentioned that you have formatted the phone.. did you restore the data back ? Why the question ..because if that is the case and if you have a very large no. of messages stored in the phone.. then delete as many as possible to see if that makes any difference..

ISync can't go along with Nokia N73

Hi
I bought MacBook Pro last December! I love it so much! Yesterday, I bought a wonderful new handset Nokia N73. I learned the new update had put N73 into the iSync profile. When I add new device in iSync, everything is good. iSync show the name of the handset correctly. When I push the sync button, the connection was successfully. In the middle of the sync, iSync stop and pop out a log to tell me: your N73 handset have an accidental error, so the sync is fail. (I translate from Chinese!) Then I remove the device from iSync, then install device again, but fail still! I remove the bluetooth device again and again, and fail again and again! I try many times in different ways, but fail in one way: accidental error!
So, I guess, the handset might got problem. So, I start Parallel virtual machine in Windows XP. I download the PC software(Windows version) from Nokia website. I plug the USB line to MBP from N73. Amazingly, everything goes so well!
Could you help me to tell me what's happened? How can I fix the difficulty! It is the first time, I feel frustration about MBP. Your prompt reply is highly appreciated!

It's unbelievable...but that did not work either. I have tried it all sorts of ways, by creating a new calendar when asked, putting it under my mac email address (which ends up just churning and not doing anything at all), opening iCal first and importing, just doubleclicking the exported file...but the message on iSync continues to tell me it cannot find a "writable file". Any further thoughts on how to solve this?

Nokia N73 & PC Suite 6.82.22.0

I recently purchased a Nokia N73 from 3 Australia, and installed PC Suite from the CD, and upgraded to PC Suite 6.82.22.0 During one of the installs my computer had a problem and seemed to hang the installation (it stalled for some five minutes before I stopped the install). I re-installed PC Suite and everything seemed fine, except that when I connected my N73 by cable, the 'new hardware' wizard appears to load in the 'Nokia USB modem'. It tries, and fails, to load this twice, and then the PC Suite software and the System Tray icon (little phone) both show the phone as not connected. However all PC Suite applications are available and working correctly. I have tried uninstalling PC Suite, rebooting, and re-installing PC suite with no better success, then reading other posts I used PC Suite Cleaner, and then reinstalled PC Suite. The very first connection was great, system tray icon changed to little green orb, and PC Suite then said connected. Sometime after that i must have rebooted the system (or at least disconnected the cable) and now PC Suite will not indicate the phone is connected although all PC Suite options (sync, backup, contacts etc) are available. What can I do to resolve this issue? I have WinXP Home with Service pack 2, PC Suite 6.82.22.0, and Nokia CA-53 cable. I normally used it through a USB hub, but even connecting it direct to the computer USB port makes no difference (the drivers are 'installed' and hardware is ready to use) Abes

Check this:
Open Control Panel > system > hardware > Device manager >
when phone is connected -> can you find this:
"Wireless Communication Devices
1 Nokia N73 USB Generic
2 Nokia N73 USB OBEX
3 Nokia N73 USB OBEX
4 Nokia N73 USB OBEX
5 Nokia N73 USB Phone Parent
Or is there "Unknown Device" only??
And check also Modems and Ports -> can find your phone from there (and is there yellow marks)??
If everything is OK in device manager, see my message from here (and try it):

Bluetooth + Nokia N73.. Not Working for me!!

I just installed Leopard on my Mac Pro. I am using a MSI Starkey3 bluetooth dongle. This USB dongle works fine in Tiger, but not in Leopard.
So far, I can pair my Motorola V3 and use it with the bluetooth connection (explorer content et iSync are working fine)... but I cannot do the same with my Nokia N73.
When I try to pair my Nokia N73 in Leopard, it does not continue after the "security" code... my Mac is still trying to connect to my Nokia N73... I have to stop bluetooth wizard.
I tried the same setup on a brand new iMac with Leopard installed... same problem... my Motorola V3 is working fine with bluetooth, but not my Nokia N73.
It seems to be a new bug with Leopard, unless someone has a solution to this problem...
Can anyone confirm the same problem on their Macs?

it's much better to search first, this message contains the same problemen and more info:

Nokia N73 Keypad malfunction

Hi all,
I have a problem with my Nokia N73.
Recently I turned off the phone and when I turned it on again my keyboard wasn't working any more. It only showed the time/date settings (which I couldn't set because of keyboard malfunction). After some time, or some calls received - one part of the keyboard started working - all of it except little joystick) and I still couldn't navigate through menu. Whenever I switch off the phone it goes back to full non-working phase for some time.
I can't hard reset it because "green", * and 3 are not working when I switch off the phone, and reseting the phone throug USB is also not working because I can't set my phone to offline mode because I can't use the joystick.
Anyone has an answer?

Have you tried leaving your battery out for a while, before you tried the hard reset?
And, also, it's a good idea to remove the memory card and then try powering on . Now if the keypad works properly, backup using PC Suite and reinstall the firmware.
I don't understand why you want to go to Offline mode to reset the phone, if you meant reinstalling the firmware, you will have to put it any non-offline profile. However, for your info, you can go to Offline mode if the Power button works: press briefly to bring up the profile menu, and then press the button as many times as required to go to the Offline option located further down in the profile listing
