N70 - Voice dialing deactivated after firmware upd...

Okey, this is making my head explode.
I got my fathers old N70 phone since he have bought a new N95. My last phone was BenQ-Siemens EF81, worst buggy phone ever, so I was pretty excited.
By nature, the first thing I did was upgrading firmware. Last firmware I has was v2 something, now I have the last one from Nokia Auto Updater.
A feature I discovered by an accident was the one where the phone had made a voicetag for every contact I had, and i could automatically call them without any big problems.
But after the stupid firmware update (that I think did no good), the feature isn't working right! I discovered that I could isolate the problem in one way. I formatted the phone, no contacts what so ever left, made a new one, opened "Voice Comm." settings, tada! Voicetag made, but if I use my MacBook to iSync all my contacts, it won't work! And it did before the update (I used iSync then too).
So, what's wrong?
Have Nokia messed up with the firmware?

Okey, funny thing.
I have no idea how, but I fixed it.
Since I've searched my **bleep** off for an answer, and know that not finding an solution can be frustrating, I'll tell exactly what I did.
1) Formatted the phone with 3 + Star + Green callbutton.
2) Made an contact in my blank contactlist for fun.
3) Started "Voice Comm." program.
4) Used iSync for adding contacts.
5) Started "Voice Comm." program again.
6) Tada, should be working. Worked for me!
Hope this workaround helps people that has the same problem. Not only is the Voice Dialling function useful, it's also fun as hell when it calls wrong people!

No "Voice Dialer" prompting after GB Update

Has anyone else had an issue with the stock "voice dialer" no longer working properly since the recent OTA to 2.3.4 (Gingerbread)? I have the same "won't appear / won't disappear" issue with the voicemail notifications, but I have one other issue, and that is that the voice dialer no longer works for me with voice prompting. I installed the Google text-to-speech data download (which I had to do last update as well), but it has not solved the problem. This is especially troublesome if I want to make a hands-free call with either my Bluetooth headset or the link in my car. I did the OTA on the first day (Wed late afternoon) and am now finding the broken voice dialing prompting to be a major hangup. I push the button and hear nothing. It will record what I say and then I have to push a button on the screen to confirm the dialing, but without voice prompting, I have no idea if it got the number correct or not. I read elsewhere from one other forum where an individual had this same problem and a few users suggested using the free "Vlingo" app from the Android Market instead. I gave it a try, but it behaves oddly with the bluetooth connection (e.g. prompting doesn't come through my headset, but the phone's speaker, though it will use the mic from the headset). I want my stock "voice dialer" to work again. Help anyone?

I solved my issue today within minutes of knocking at the VZW store's door to roll me back to Froyo. Ready folks?
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Remove the backing, battery, and sd card
3. Leave it sit for a bit
4. Reinsert the battery and sd card
5. Perform a restart (hold in the power button)
Phone restarted. Connected to the car bluetooth. Now pressing the button to dial brings the voice prompting for dialing back again!
I have restarted the phone since then and the setting has been retained. If you lost your voice dialing prompting, please try these steps. Don't know why they worked (when a restart did not), but it did!
Now I just have the broken VM prompt that everyone else is experiencing... Hope a fix is soon.

N70 MMS image distortion after firmware upgrade.

Does anyone know why my phone now distorts all images I put into an mms if they are in a portrait format? It seems to stretch them all to landscape format. I sent one to a friend and asked if it looked distorted at their end and they said it did. It seems to make no difference whether it's taken in portrait originally or rotated afterwards. It also doesn't matter which button you use to take the picture.
Any ideas?
Cheers.

The exact same issues happened to my N70 after updating the firmware to the latest.
Didn't happen before and it's very annoying.
Any idea how it can be fixed???????

Muvo TX FM allways shut down after Firmware Upd

After the Upgrade to newest Firmware my Player shuts down after 3-4 sec MP3-Playing! FM works... can anyone help me please?Message Edited by Bandit600 on 07-27-2006 02:4 PM

Like others I've been hit with the same audio and device shutoff issues after upgrading to the latest version of the Muvo TX FM software (.22.03).
What a fricking pain!
After reading a lot of the boards and stuff I finally was able to revert to .9.0, but not before trying everything under the sun.
Starting with a player that had nothing on it I did the following:
- reinstalled .22.03 so I had something that my PC could copy files on to, etc...
- using Windows Explorer, formatted the device to FAT, instead of FAT32
- Attached device in Recovery mode (holding play button long enough while connecting to USB port, that the device came up listed as in recovery in the device manager dialog.
- launched .9.0 install (MuVoTXFM_PCFW_LF__9_0.exe)
This time I didn't semaphore timeout and it got past allocating tables and completed the install. My tests of the device seem to indicate things are working again.
Hope these steps help others!

Aha! At the very end of your second article was the following gem:
When FileVault 2 is enabled, Recovery HD does not appear in the Startup Manager (which is accessed by holding Option during startup)
I have never accessed Recovery HD using any other method, but now that I try the Command-R way, I find that the recovery HD is there after all.

Repair service for N80 (bricked after firmware upd...

Hi,
I have a broken N80 mobile, that doesn't boot up anymore after an unsuccessful firmware update. Unfortunately the warranty is over and Nokia Service refused to repair as it is apparently not "worth" the repair cost. Does anybody here know a clever third-party company (preferable in Europe) that repairs this kind of damage and is capable of "soldering out" the flash mem and put a new one in (as normal flashing - even through the service bus doesnt seem to work anymore)?
Chris

Hmm,thats too bad but I can't hardly believe that a software(e.g. upgrade) can damage an electronic chips (flash memory)& service bus ! Its not allowed here to discuss hardware repair, but a hint... any laptop repair shop that is equipt with heat gun & laser for removing SMT chips can do that, if you knew the particular chips.

Creative MuVO TX FM: Dead during/after firmware upd

Hi, I got my MuVO two months ago. I use it for both music and audibobooks from Audible.com. Lately it began to develop a problem: Most of the times after start-up it won't play anything. Instead it just display the file name. When Pause/Play is pressed, it skip a few seconds forward and stay there. Occasionally
Then, I tried to update the firmware on the creative site, but somehow during the update the player went completely dead, i.e. won't power up and can no longer be recognized as a dri've in computer.
Has anyone encountered a smiliar problem?
Thanks

Do a search of the forums. Lots of users have experienced similar problems.

Media Players won't Recognize 5 gig Micro after firmware upd

I received my 5 gig Creative Zen Micro two years ago for Christmas and I haven't been able to listen to it with headphones for about a year.
When I first discovered that the head phone input was un-soldered I was very upset and pretty sure I'd never be able to listen to it ever again but then I figured out I could connect my zen to my computer and play songs from it via mediasource or realplayer.
After I updated the firmware for my micro mediasource wouldn't recognize it and windows says it's an MTP player (before it was labeled as a usb device).
I downloaded a some kind of plug in that was suppose to fix the problem but it didn't.
Where do I go from here?
Also does any one know of a place in the Greenville South Carolina area that could fix the head phone input?

Have you updated all your Zen Micro's software? You could use Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2(52.2 MB) or Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer Web Update(48.24 MB)
Also check out this thread, ZenMaster333 has helped a lot of people with headphone jack problems.
Alternati'vely, you could contact ZenRepair.com

5800: cant play preloaded music after firmware upd...

hi,
i recently updated my 5800 from v11.0... to v20.0 using nokia software updater (PC)..... after the update im not able to play any of the preloaded music (.dcf files). please help.
thanks
nirmal

Hi
The Pre loaded songs are digitally protected and were unlocked before the software upgrade. At the moment i dont believe there is a method to unlock them over the air for your phone. You might want to contact the Nokia Care Line or refer to a Nokia Service center to have them unlock it.
This is also discussed at /discussions/board/message?board.id=swupdate&thread.id=46853&view=by_date_ascending&page=2

Zen Nano PLus dead after firmware upd

I wanted to update the firmware of my Zen Nano PLus, so I got the correct file off the creative site. I connected my mp3-player and executed the firmware update file. Everything went as it should do. It brought up a pop-up window of windows asking to search for new Hardware. I accidently closed it. Then the whole firmware updating process stopped. I closed the window of the updating process and tried to restart the firmware update file. I didn't work because the player wasn't even found by the computer. The bad thing about it is, that I cant do anything with my player since the computer cant even talk to it. I cant turn my player on/off: it is pretty much dead. No connection to computer status diagram appears, nothing. I tried the rescue tool of creti've, it didn't find the player either.
Any Ideas what can help?

Zen Xtra - Totally Dead After Firmware Upd

Following a failed attempt to upgrade the firmware on my Zen Xtra 60gb, I have now spent many happy hours this weekend reading about the problems we are all having with this issue.
What happened to me was that I tried to upgrade under Vista but ended up with only the recovery mode. I tried to recover the firmware using a clean XP build and Media Player 0. During this update all went well until the final reboot, where the machine stopped and the update crashed.
The machine has not booted since this.
I have no recovery mode, reset doesn't work (with or without the battery), the PC doesn't detect the Zen Xtra and if you try to charge it there is no 'charging' indicator.
It is totally dead.
Has anyone recover their machine from this state?
I emailed the help desk who responded with -
"However, my sincere apologies as the warranty for your unit appears to
be over by now and there would not be any out of warranty
repair/replacements available for your unit.
May I suggest that you purchase a new unit, instead of having your unit
replaced/repaired at a cost (if available), as this would be a more
economical option"
Any help or ideas greatly appreciated.
Marc
