N73 - annoyed to hell with nokia

well n73 had it 4 less than 24 hours from orange replacment for my totally unreliable 6680 total of 16 handsets in 12 months
nice lookin handset good features but
turn the thing on and it instantly connects to wap (packet data ended using the red key ) (costing me money) not impressed, turn it off on battery out a full reset and it still does it, rang orange tech support 45 mins on hold to be told oh were not sure we will try to resolve the problem and ring you when we have a fix, totally not acceptable, put sim card back in 6680 and that goes bottoms up as well!! now forced to use a brick as a phone the 6680 is under 2 weeks old and is dead the n73 has problems but thank god for the old trusty 702 still alive and kicking
any one got or know of a fix for my N73???? as TBH im rather annopyed with my nokia build quality and software problems dont seem to be sorted, is it me or is the product totally rushed not product tested thoroughly????? since the introduction of the new "smartphones" ive had nothing but problems!!!!!!!!!!

You can thank Orange for this 'feature', many Orange variant Nokia handsets e.g. N70, N80 etc. are blighted by automatically connecting to data services and costing the owner money.

N73 ME lying with Nokia for past 8 months

I understand that this is not a forum where customer service issues are addressed.
However, my Nokia N73 ME phone has been lying with Nokia since the past 8 months.
Numerous emails and millions of phone calls have not been able to resolve the problem.
I have tried to post messages on the "Contact Us" link on numerous occasions. Yet, I have received none more than an automated reply.
Does anyone know of any escalation points at Nokia? I'd really appreciate if some one could share contact points/email addresses where I could get an audience for this problem.

I've given my entire case details along with contact details on numerous occasions but clearly, at least in my case, the designated channels are not working.
Considering that my phone has been with Nokia for a more than 8 months of the 15 odd months since I've bought it, clearly there is something amiss.
I am therefore trying to establish contact with anyone higher up who could get this resolved. Hence this post on this forum.
Thanks patriciaanne3 anyway..

Problem with Nokia Messaging on my N97 (V22)

Since afew weeks I have a strange problem with Nokia Messaging on my N97.
I receive emails using Nokia Messaging (V10.2.26) with a date shown incorrect as 01.01.0000 and the email then can’t be opened/read.
This happens either on 3G connection as well as WLAN and it seems to be by random, not only HTML-emails or emails with text only.
I have uninstalled Nokia messaging already and reinstalled V10.1.24 but the problem still remains.
Is there any idea how to fix this issue because it is quite annoying and I can’t use the full functionality of my cell phone?

ceroberts75, I remember from your other posts somehow server thinks you already have an account with the email you are trying to configure and you/nokia support is not able to get access to it.

absolutely m8. thats why i gave you a kudos.
the challenge is that NM has been unruly as of late...and believe when i say that i have literally been on the phone teching nokias support up to tier 2 and creating, canceling, trying new acounts with different email, different ways of creating them, with wifi, gprs...and praying for hours accross mutliple phone calls
but to no avail, are the devices we are using connecting and syncing...even with thier n900 specialist which i had to help him! lmao.
another option for a solution is alwayhs welcome as there are more then one way to skin a cat.
i hope it works for him and others as i kno9w thesome that are just giving up on it.

Problem with Nokia CK-7W HandsFree Car Kit

My wife recently bought a new car and the dealership installed a CK-7W bluetooth kit for us. However, we're having a really annoying problem with it.
Every so often, at completely random times, the stero in the car switches off for just a second and a really loud and annoying "beep" comes through the car speakers. At first I thought it was something to do with the cars settings so I searched through the car manual and even phoned the dealership back. However, the guy who sold it to me didn't know what the problem was and advised me to bring it back to them.
It's a while until I can get back to the dealership, but I'm pretty sure the problem lies with the bluetooth kit rather than the car. The reason I say this is because the annoying beep coincides with whenever the bluetooth connection is lost with the mobile phone it's paired with i.e. I think the beep is happening when the bluetooth kit is switching itself off.
My wife has a Sony Ericsson phone and I have a Nokia. I don't think the problem lies with the phones, because it happens no matter which phone is paired with it. It also happens when there isn't even a phone in the car or when both of our phones have the bluetooth switched off!
The manual provided with the kit (and available for download on this website) is totally useless. It barely explains how to use the kit properly or what each of the buttons/dials does. Also, there's a little light on the remote control button. Sometimes it's on, sometimes it's off, but most of the time it flashes. The manual says "The indicator light has three states: On. Flashing. Off." But, totally unhelpfully, it doesn't say what each of these states mean!!
My guess is that the bluetooth kit is randomly switching itself on and off, and then when it does switch off that is when the beep happens. But the very unhelpful manual provided with the kit is giving me no clues as to whether this is normal or not, or how to stop it happening.
The random beep drives us absolutely crazy. It's really loud and makes you jump whenever it happens and there appears to be now way even to turn it down! It's spoling our enjoyment of the new car. I cannot believe this is normal for this bluetooth kit and I feel fairly sure there must be a simple way to turn this beep off. But as I say, the manual is totally useless, so I'm turning ti this board for help!
Please someone help me with this! Do you think I've got a faulty kit or is there a simple way to cure this problem?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi daveduck
I expect that they were happy to charge you enough, but why fit an outdated unit such as CK-7W to a new vehicle? It doesn't have noise canceling features such as newer CK-100 anyway and you would probably be disappointed with it's performance if trying to use newer phones. If one of you was using cradle connection and the other Bluetooth, I might have seen a rationale behind fitting this unit with reservations.
There is a way of stopping the "beeps" if the permanent +ve red wire is connected to same source as the IGN +ve Blue wire so unit reboots each time ignition is switched on, rather than being left permanently on.
The going rate for using a non-accredited Nokia carkit installer is a bit cheaper for the dealer but you have got the worst of both world's, a fitter not really familiar with Nokia products and poor advice.

Syncing contacts with Nokia Services Issue...

Hello
I own a N9 for some time but lately I have some problems with it.
I always get contacts double/tripeld on my phone after syncing with Nokia contacts.
It Looks like it just ignore the changes I made on my phone and downloads the old contacts on the server.
Example:
Mr.X with phone number 1234 is already synced. I change the Number to 4321 and hit sync NOkia again
then I have two Mr. X on my phone:
Mr. X ... 1234
Mr. X ... 4321
It looks as i can only download the information from the server but not update the information already there.
this is really annoying..
what can I do?
Is this still an issue if you syn with another account ?
(eg. Microsoft LIVE, Google ?)
Hope somebody can give me some advice
Solved!
Go to Solution.

if you are using the ovi.com, i would suggest you get your contacts squared away and sync them elsewhere, that is going to be deleted soon, if not already.
i had issues syncing my data with nokia services for the longest time. it was good, then they "fixed" the nokia suite and it wasnt....then there was ovi suite and that botched them all too.
i used to sync directly to my outlook with the 9500, and then through my other devices until ovi suite when i grew tired of the challenges with the contacts.
eventually, i ended up signing up with office365 to get an exchange account for $5/mo.
i think that the devs for the software products only use thier nokia exchange accounts when testing, which goes around the issues that we have had.
i would create either a google account and sync there, or if you want to also sync directly to an outlook, create a live/hotmail/outlook.com email address and then download the hotmail connector application for your pc, and then it will sync your wireless devices and outlook like a free exchange server and sync contacts/calendar/email.
if you go that route, you can get the hotmail connector here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/microsoft-office-outlook-hotmail-connector-overview-HA0102...

50 Days with NOKIA N8

                                               50 days with Nokia N8
Am I happy ????
May be ???
Hi ! I m a qualified Physician (DOCTOR ) of Delhi , India and Symbian user since Nokia 6600 ( 2004 )
My progress is like 6600 --- N70-----N73----N95----N97---- NOKIA N8.
I got my Nokia N8 on 14th Oct 2010.
As Usual I started doing R&D on this since I m a tech Enthusiast.
Over the last 50 days I have experienced lots and lots of N8 and hence posting my experience.
I would divide it into hardware and software review.
Nokia N8 is a HARDWARE gem from Nokia
Good Processor, adequate RAM , USB OTG, good screen, good protected Aluminium case, Good Design.
That’s where List ends.
Software Problems-----
Lot and Lot of problems.
1.      Hangs inevitably in a day or 2.
2.      Screen goes blank when incoming call is there so I have to use side button (rocker switch ) repeatedly to get back the screen and caller information.
3.      Does not connects to my home wifi network after continuous usage for 30 min. than I have to make N8 offline than again search and it some times catches it , otherwise I have to switch off my mobile (not the Linksys Router since my laptop continues to work normally connected to router)
4.      Music will not download from Ovi Music store , file will start downloading and after showing 2 % or 5% it will hang.
5.      Multitasking as advertised a lot is not smooth. RAM will show approx. 60 mb with 2 or 3 tasks open and it will hang after that.
6.      RAM is not freed even after task is closed . it goes down with app but does not return to previous capacity after that task is closed.
7.      Caller ID will not work some time ---- so I will not get callers name even if it is stored as single entry.
8.      Since my SIM is provided to me as CUG no (CLOSED USER GROUP) sometimes N8 will not allow me to make a call. After lot of hassles in last 50 days , I somehow tricked this by setting phone and security options to CLOSED USER GROUP to OFF in menu and than switching it back to default after some time. I posted this question even in nokia forum but even there I did not received the solution.
9.      Battery will drain in a days time with normal usage , what is expected of a smartphone. Checking mail 2 times on wifi and talking for 30 to 40 minutes.
10.   Except for the camera, which I don’t use much , I do not see any great things in N8 to fall in love.
This is a TRUE review , since I m a great NOKIA fan and not happy with Nokia , first with N97 and than N8.
i have taken some SOME VIDEOS about Hanging N8, will soon post it here since they r in HD and very heavy
Does Nokia Have answers to these , or solutions in next firmware .

I have been using N8 for about the same time - 60 days and am coming from similar path of N97, N95-8G, N95 and so forth before that from ~Y2000. I do netbrowsing, maps, email, weather and other apps several times per day, also while roaming. I dont do calls and SMS that much. I can relate to number of issues highlighted in this post, however with different view.
As with any hi-tech gadget its likely that we see bugs and design annoyances at initial launch. The amount of trouble I have with N8 is for my (happy) case quite small compared to what I was actually expecting.
- Yes it has hanged few times where the scenario is hard to repeat/define
- Screen blank with incoming call - has happened number of time and I think its a software problem where some of the phone sw misunderstands its screen/blank state. When it happens its "always" the case for incoming calls for me, no matter if Im close to prox sensor or not, until I reboot the phone and then it is fixed. Most likely some application, battery saving state or the way of killing apps from start tab rather than gracefully exting them causes this I think.
- There are some scenarios where my phone works vice versa with screen - keeps it always on, even with battery low, etc - I think thats when the software misunderstands it the other way. Also I get sometimes continuous "wlan connection failed" without any apps running/startup widegets all beeing offline (and wlan available in proximity). Id suspect that some application "parts" are left to run while theres no visible component to show in task manager... Might well relate to screen behaviour and battery drain...
- Unable to match caller ID to names in phonebook has similar pattern - it behaves like that until I reboot the phone. At the N95/8G period similar problem manifested itself when there were other problems visible related to low memory. I would suspect something like that here as well.
For me the most of the concern is the case design and build quality of N8. My previous phones have been subject to number of falls and bad weather conditions... I went for a 20 min swim with N95 in my pocket, dried it for 2 days and it worked again. N958G was submerged in mud for 2hrs and again worked after throughout cleaning (have to admit that buttons and rest of the electronics started to fail due to corrosion after few weeks). I slammed N97 between my car trunk, it bent a bit but no screen cracks, antennas all seem to be connected well and works allright. N8 feels fraigile with all its small sockets for various plugs and its concept of screwing the case together probably cant take as heavy beating as the plastic covers which acted as pdding for the internals of previous phones. Im afraid to drop the N8 in snow, mud, pool or down few floors of stairs... Anyways, I guess something will happen sooner or later and I will see then.
Coming back to the software issues - I foresee these will be gradually fixed as the new firmware and app updates come out. The sooner the better - people will be happier about their phones which behave better and they will act as ambassadors for Nokia

Problems with software the update with Nokia 6233
Hello,
I have so far some-paints tries my software to update.
Each time the update procedure begins, sometime stands then on the telephone “test mode”.
On the computer wars I the reference in the update manager “connection to the telephone broken off” and wants the update to again start.
If I change my profile attitudes since that for example, then after a telephone restart again deleted.

It sounds like your 5800 has the earpiece fault that was common with 5800's made before February.
You need to take it to a nokia care point for repair under warranty.

Cant get on ovi store with nokia 6700 slide

I brought this phone a week ago and spend over £20 trying to access the store via my phone each time it says it cant find the page or unable to connect to the server, i have been in touch with nokia and they have made me re-set my settings and everything and said the phone was faulty and to get it replaced. I have done this and i get the same prob is this a known problem with this phone? my friend has the same phone and can access the store fine. I love every other thing about the phone and dont really want to go thru getting it replaced again if im likely to have the same problem.
Or is there anywhere else i can get apps for this model without having to use the ovi store as i can get on any other website fine

i have the same trouble with my nokia slide

The issue of firmware on operator-variant models is a common sore point on these boards.
Unfortunately, Nokia's hands are tied. The operators have to approve new versions of the software before they can be applied to any phone sold to them by Nokia as their own variant.
You will probably find that the operators' customer service staff are trained only to give advice on network services, if you want answers on issues other than that you need to locate the operator's head office and pester them. If you are a contract customer, that address should appear on your bill.

Problem sync iCal with Nokia N95

I´m trying to set up iSync to synchronize my iCal (MobileMe calendars) with Nokia N95 8 Gb.
Contacts is synchronizing fine but when I try to click the check-box to define which calendars I want to sync I get this message:
"Before you can synchronize your calendars, you need to open a calendar application that supports synchronization and create at least one writable calendar."
How can I create a writable calendar in iCal???

Excellent!
Thanks Julian. I had no idea there were functions hidden behind that icon. So simple now you've shown me.
Thanks very much for your help.

Problem with Nokia Camera and Smart Sequence

Hi,
I'm having a problem with Nokia Camera and the Smart Sequence mode.
Basically, if you take a picture using nokia camera, and view it in your camera roll, it usually says, underneath the pic "open in nokia camera".
Well, if I take a pic using the Smart Sequence mode, it just doesn't say "open in nokia camera" so, to use the functions of smart sequence (best shot, motion focus, etc), I have to open nokia camera, go to settings and tap the "Find photos and videos shot with nokia camera" option.
Does anyone has the same problem? Anybody solved it?
I already tried reinstalling nokia camera, but that didn't help.
I'm running Nokia Black on my 925.
Thanks everyone!

Hi,
I had the same problem with my 1020. It did get fixed with the last update to Nokia camera.
However, IIRC, it didn't just happen right away. When browsing the camera roll I'm pretty sure that the "open with Nokia camera" text wasn't there.
Slightly disappointed I opened the (Nokia) camera anyway and was going to test the smart sequence again. I noticed the only precious pic I'd taken using this actually appeared top left of the screen.
I opened it and I had all the smart sequence editing options again - that we're missing previous. Made a new picture and saved it.
Now when in camera roll the text shows below the image and all is good.
This probably doesn't help much except that it didn't seem to fix automatically.
I work @Nokia so I can ask around a bit to see if this is a known / common issue (not that I know any developers)

Problems with Nokia Photos (Lifeblog)

I have been using Lifeblog 2.5 on my PC running on Windows XP sp2 for more than 2 years and was very pleased with how this software worked. I regularly used it to transfer both photos and videos from my N80 and N95 to my pc. When Lifeblog was premium software I paid for the full version.
I had a problem with my PC and had to perform a destructive recovery on the C drive of my pc. I then tried to download the Lifeblog program again from Nokia only to be met with a SORRY greeting. So i was able to find the Nokia Photos software which I downloaded and installed. I then imported my Back up files from Lifeblog.
The problem with Nokia Photos is Videos do not play. Only SMS and Photos can be viewed even though I have ticked all the boxes.
I think that Nokia must have some problems with Lifeblog and Nokia Photos. Any help as to how I may be able to get it to work as well as it was before would be greatly appreciated.

I have since reinstalled all the XP framework software and it seems to work fine now.

What went wrong with Nokia Messaging?

What went wrong with Nokia Messaging?
In the beginning of this year I used Nokia Messaging on E71 and I really loved it!
Since this autumn I am using it on my new N97 and I am confronted with totally different experience:
- the application is very slooooow..
- its unreliable - very ofter emails arrive with hours delay, a sync may take up to minutes
- its very very buggy - truncated icons, diplay randomly jumping up and down, when scrolling.
- very bad HTML display of emails - tiny (unreadable) default font and no wrap to screen when zooming - I thought emails were for reading?
- many, many usability issues
I just cannot believe it - How has Nokia managed to convert once such a good piece of software into such incredible disaster?
Recently an update was published - I tried it immediately... To my big disappointment it contains all the same bugs and introduces new ones..
How is this possible? What is happening at Nokia?

Also my N86 as the same problem.
And in global setting Nokia deleted the option to read always in HTML.
And there is not any option to write html Mails

Special characters issue with Nokia Maps on N95

Hi there,
when using Navigation in conjunction with Nokia Maps on my N95, all streets and towns which contain any special character in their name (for example: é, è, ü, ä, ö, etc…) do appear as unreadable garbage on the screen of the N95.
I only noticed the problem after having purchased the 3 years license Navigation upgrade (EUR 99.99) and immediately notified Nokia. That was back in October. Since then I have called them at least 10 times and ultimately I have asked for a refund as no solution is still available.
In all these calls with Nokia, the only reasonable argument I heard was that maybe (!!!) the new software update version 20.0.015 released back at the end of November could solve the issue. Unfortunately, for my phone (which is a branded one) the update is not yet available.
Today, after calling them again, I was told that Nokia’s policies do not foresee refunds and therefore my request has been rejected. I was told to bring my phone to a Nokia Store and see if they can help me (I don’t see how). I was also told that maybe I would have to send-in the phone for repair.
This is soooo frustrating that despite the 3 months of patience and all the money spent for the N95 (not quite cheap), the navigation upgrade and the phone calls to Nokia, I still have the same issue. I will probably end up filing a complaint with a monthly consumer’s magazine in the hope they will publish my story.
After all, it may not even be Nokia’s fault but rather the guys who are responsible for the maps, but if Nokia accepts to have a commercial venture with a vendor, than they also accept liability for the joint product. And by turning down my legitimate request for refund, they have proven not to give a **bleep** about people like you and me.
Forgive me for the long post - needed to release some of the frustration...

I have been using an N95-8GB since Nov.'07. From my experience with this phone that has a built-in mass memory besides the phone memory. I had trouble retrieving some of the softwares I have installed. For eg. I have saved some themes in the mass memory & I could not find it when I want to delete it. There are some 3rd parties games software inside where I cannot even delete
This is what I don't like about the phone. I have bought an N82/Black recently as it uses an external memory card.
Coming back to Nokia maps. Personnaly, I don't think they are that good & I have problem downloading it into my phone from my PC after having downloaded it from Nokia.
By the way the Nokia map is not even the latest map 2.0. Is still a 1.0
I used Navfone map software & it works OK in the 8GB. You have to purchase it.
I have used a couple of N-series phones in the past ie. N-90, N-70, N-71, N-73, N-80/Black, N95, N-95/8GB & now N-82.
Common with all N-series phones. After you have disconnected when you are done with your call you have to wait for a while before the word "disconnected" disappears.
The more features it has, the more problem you are gonna to encounter.
Unless you want to download softwares into your phone & have a good camera thats where the N series phones come in.
For normal usage, a 40 series phone will suffice.

N73 - annoyed to hell with nokia
