N73 & 2gb Mini SD?

Anyone used a 2gb card in their N73 yet? Nokia will only confirm that anything up to 1gb will work in the phone but I'm wondering if i spend my cash on a 2gb and it don't work that'll be money down the drain.

Hi,
Late reply, but I've just got a new N73 and new SanDisk 2GB MiniSD card and have had nothing but trouble since I got it. Just unreliable as to whether the phone recognises that it has a card in it or not, or whether it chooses to save pictures to the card or phone. Sometimes on boot up it recognises it, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it knows the card is there until you try to take a picture, and then tells you it's not inserted. Same problem found with another N73 in the shop. No Vodafone, Nokia, SanDisk or Carphone Warehouse store know anything about it though, and therefore impossible to say what the problem is. Think it's a software bug though, as the card works fine when connected to the PC, and works most of the time in the phone. Unreliable though. Maybe when a software upgrade is released, Nokia will fix the bug?
If anyone else has a similar problem, I'd be interested to know...

2gb mini SD card, not able to read.

I know this has shown up a number of times but after looking for an hour and through around 50 posts i haven't found a solution, or anything to try either.
I have an N93 and it will read the 2gb card using file mgr. but when using camera it says it cant read the card and the phone memory must be used.. if i go into the settings and adjust it to my SD card it just kicks me out.. i then have to reboot the phone to get it working again.
Also when trying to add themes or programs using this card the majority of the time it says it's unsupported or corrupted.
I originally formatted it using th n93 software.
any suggestions please??

All mini SD card made the same, as long as it able to recognize by any card reader, is a good card.
When you insert into Nokia phone, some model could read it. It has nothing to do with the card. It's NOkia device problem. The hardware programmer forgotten to write and install format disk feature in case a miniDisk is not formatted to Nokia OS.
It's Nokia **bleep**py flaw. I will never buy another Nokia device again nor will encourage anyone do that in the near future until Nokia admit their problem and fix it right away or offer a patch for PC to do that so generic miniSD could be read.
I remember when cell phone just lauch, Nokia handset will warm-up almost burn your ears. I boycotted the company and encouraged my bell company do the same for better samsung. Nokia finally listen due to plummet sell big time during those couple years. Now, I'll do that again and encourage you all do the same to your bell company and people you know if Nokia fails to admit, apology and promise to fix the problem.
Sorry Nokia, I am **bleep** on you all didn't quit learn the lesson and listen to your customer.

N73 Firmware upgrade nightmare

Looking for advice, learned ones -
I've had an N73 for 18 months, love the phone, not so crazy on the hanging issues and general speed of operations.
So on the weekend, decided to go with what I had read here and update to latest firmware, confident that would improve things.
Downloaded latest PC Suite and Software Updater. Performed backup to both PC Suite and 2Gb Mini SD card without a hitch.
Software updater ran successfully and took me from 2.0 something to 4.XXX. Phone rebooted successfully, all looked good, just needed to restore data.
That's where the nightmare began!
Went for restore from PC Suite, all seemed to go fine, got to the end where phone screen says "phone will restart". Nothing happened for a while, but the "OK" button was highlighted, so I clicked "OK" thinking it was waiting for permission. Phone went into restart, but only got as far as the Nokia hands screen before a blue-backed message appeared: “Phone start-up failed. Contact the retailer”
Yikes, ok, not good. Came in here, looked around for advice on similar situations and tried hard reset etc. etc. No dice, always hanging at same point.
Husband kindly took it to Customer Care on Monday for me, they "fixed" it, but didn't restore data from my backup. So when he got home, we tried backup from SD card to phone. Exactly the same hang-up happened.
Husband has dutifully taken phone back in today, again they have "fixed" it but I asked this time that they perform a restore from backup at the Centre. Guess what? Yep, same issue. Their "advice": well, it was garbled, to be honest. First they tried telling me that there was no data on the SD card, then they switched the story to "there is something wrong with the data".
I would possibly believe that if the exact same thing hadn't happened during PC Suite restore. I have the .nbu file here. Any way to test it's integrity? Can I "read" the backup somehow on PC Suite?
Incredibly, I asked Nokia Care Centre to please prove it was a problem with the card and not the phone, by using my card in another Nokia phone. Their reply: they didn't have another Nokia phone to test that. Really? I have some older model Nokias spare lying around, but I don't think the data will be compatible.
About 300 contacts there that I really don't fancy rebuilding from scratch
Advice welcome, please.
I'm in Hong Kong, if that makes a difference.

Proud user of Nokias since 1994: Nokia 101, anyone?

At the risk of having a conversation with myself...
So much for the Hong Kong Nokia Care Centre! I *knew* that they were glossing over the problem yesterday, by insisting that the memory card and PC Suite backups must be corrupt, as the phone, in their opinion was fixed.
As it turns out, my husband also has an N73. And yesterday he decided to upgrade to an N95. So once we backed up his phone and copied his "stuff" across to the N95, I had a spare blank N73 to play with. And yep, my data backup restore from PC Suite went to his N73 just fine.
What to do now? Unfortunately husband's N73 is hammered and looking pretty shabby, whereas mine still looks good, so I actually would prefer to get mine working properly again. How to convince Nokia Customer Care that there must be something wrong with data transfer to my N73?
Or should I just give up and be glad I have my data back on a working phone (and believe me, I'm very glad about that!!)
Could it be something to do with firmware versions on the respective N73's? Mine is now running v4.0812.4.3.1 (21-3-2008). His is running v 2.0628.0.0.1 (10-7-2006). I'm not game to update the firmware on his, lest the whole thing start over again!
Opinions??

What is the difference now between n73 normal and ...

n73 normal firmware 4.0726.2.0.1
n73 music edition 3.0705.1.0.31
after new firmware for n73 normal
add music player
add support for 4 GB memory card
the old firmware for n73 normal not support (music player advanced with equaliser) now support by firmware 4.0726.2.0.1
n73 music edition 3.0705.1.0.31
now not support 4 GB Memory card ?
why the cost of n73 me very expensive 10% and nokia n73 very good price ?

yes 2gb mini-sd and a better headset (additonal play/pause,next,prev,stop keys)
n73: n73me:
and 2 extra themes (stave and waveform)
and multimedia key:
n73:
short press: configurable 5 ways shortcut menu (joystick up = program x, jockstick left = program y etc.)
long press: music player
n73me:
short press: music player
long press: radio
and it is black =D
but there is also an n73 music edition lite with less accessoires (smaller sd-card or no headset or non of both...)Message Edited by okidal on 31-Jul-200708:32 PM

How to connect multiple nanos and minis to one computer and share content

I have 3 iPod nano's and 1 iPod mini in my house and would like to make a central repository of music on one computer that can be shared across nanos where users can select all or some of the available tunes. How can I do this?

You could use the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" would allow you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPods. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:

To select the update option.
iTunes 6
Connect your iPod to your computer and when it appears in the Source list go to Edit>iTunes>Music Tab (iTunes>Preferences>Music tab on a Mac).
Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
iTunes 7
Connect your iPod to your computer and when it appears in the Source list click on it to show the preference tabs in the main pane. Choose the following option and click "Apply".
Sync Music - Selected playlists. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer. You'll find this in the Music Tab.

N80 with 2GB SD Card stoping for no reason

I have a N80 and are using a 2GB mini SD card. I have found that the music player plays a couple of tracks and then stops or a couple of seconds. It then resumes playing for about 2 seconds and then stops for good. Does anyone know what is causing this problem and how to stop it. It is beginning to get really annoying. It seems to happen fairly randomly.

Recently got a card reader and using this to transfer the music has solved the problem. No more stoppages and the transfer rate from the computer to the SD card is much faster.

How do I use iTunes for 2 different iPods?

I just got my sister her first iPod, but her daughter's iPod is already set up on her computer. So we want to enable iTunes to support 2 iPods.
I was told that the only way to do this is to select certain playlists to be synched with one iPod and other playlists with the second iPod. However, I don't know how to do this.
My greatest concern is that as soon as I plug in one iPod it will automatically download all files. How does iTunes distinguish one iPod from the other?
This shouldn't be so hard. Any help would be great!
Thanks!

There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one which has already been described is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod

How can I manage 2 Ipods on 1 Itunes?

I now have 3 ipods in my house. Mine is fine on my laptop but now 2 of my kids have ipods. How can I set them both up on Itunes to have seperate libraries and be able to sync them seperately with out conflicting with each other?

When the iPods belong to two users, there are a couple of recommended methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one is to have individual Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one.

Multiple IPods / Single Computer.

Is there a way to have multiple IPods synch to 1 computer with Itunes and each Ipod can synch to their own playlist.
We have three I Pods and three computers and I want to consolidate and have one Mac with a whole lot of music to hook up to the stereo.
If this can't be done, Apple needs to fix it so we can. More and more households have more than one Ipod.

Single item shipment using multiple trucks

Hi Friends,
I have a typical requirement where my client want to ship one of their product ( A Huge item, which they dismantle it for shipment) using multiple trucks. How we can handle this situation using SAP LES module? They can hire multiple trucks to ship this item by road to the destination using multiple service providers. So the service cost also need to be settled for all these service providers. Will SAP allow to split a single item through multiple shipments? I really appreciate a solution for this.
Thanks

How to root out memory leak with Java JNI & Native BDB 11g ?

We are testing a web application using the 32-bit compiled native 11g version of BDB (with replication) under 32-bit IBM 1.5 JVM via JNI under 64-bit RedHat Linux. We are experiencing what appears to be a memory leak without a commensurate increase in Java heap size. Basically the process size continues to grow until the max 32-process size is reached (4Gb) and eventually stops running (no core). Java heap is set to 2Gb min/max. GCs are nominal, so the leak appears to be native and outside Java bytecode.
We need to determine whether there is a memory leak in BDB, or the IBM JVM or simply a mis-use of BDB in the Java code. What tools/instrumentation/db statistic should be used to help get to root cause? Do you recommend using System Tap (with some particular text command script)? What DB stats should we capture to get to the bottom of this memory leak? What troubleshooting steps can you recommend?
Thanks ahead of time.
JE.
Edited by: 787930 on Aug 12, 2010 5:42 PM

That's troublesome... DB itself doesn't have stats that track VM in any useful way. I am not familiar with SystemTap but a quick look at it seems to imply that it's better for kernel monitoring than user space. It's pretty hard to get DB to leak significant amounts of memory. The reason is that it mostly uses shared memory carved from the environment. Also if you are neglecting to close or delete some object DB generally complains about it somewhere.
I don't see how pmap would help if it's a heap leak but maybe I'm missing something.
One way to rule DB out is to replace its internal memory allocation functions with your own that are instrumented to track how much VM has been allocated (and freed). This is very easy to do using the interfaces:
db_env_set_func_malloc()
db_env_set_func_free()
These are global to your process and your functions will be used where DB would otherwise call malloc() and free(). How you get usage information out of the system is an exercise left to the reader :-) If it turns out DB is the culprit then there is more thinking to do to isolate the problem.
Other ideas that can provide information if not actual smoking guns:
-- accelerate reproduction of the problem by allocating nearly all of the VM to the JVM and the DB cache (or otherwise limit the allowable VM in your process)
-- change the VM allocated to the JVM in various ways
Regards,
George
