N73 bug

In my n73 me, which is right now with the latest firmware, sometimes i cant call or use the loudspeaker. a reboot fixes this. but sometimes it happens may be 6 times a day. anyone has this issue? (its been there since the first update). Nokia support hasnt been able to do anything about it..

after you make changes to your music, whether it be adding new songs or deleting (like you did) refresh the library. it may not be a bug but the player probably kept the song in cache memory, kind of like your web browser, so it will still play it.
try that and see if the problem still occurs.
everything happens for a reason

N73 Bug List (long)

N73 2.0628.0.1
This model/firmware seems to be a really buggy release. There's a lot of problems people are experiencing with it.
The moderators of this forum claim that Nokia staff do read and take into considaration problems reported here, although they never reply or confirm any issues and they refuse to provide any kind of publicly available bug reporting system.
So, maybe if we collect our problems in a single thread it might be easier for Nokia to notice and hopefully correct at least some of them.
So, here are mine. Some bugs and suggestions below.
BUGS
1. [SEVERE] Once I was saving a contact data from a message received by IRDA to Contancts when the phone died completely (with the display on). I had to remove the battery.
2. [SEVERE] During a call I turned on the recorder. After some time of recording the phone rebooted with no apparent reason.
3. [SEVERE] N73 has problems with theme installation. When you install too many themes (don't know what is "too many" though; in my case it was 25 but others had problems after installing just a few) they tend to disappear: some from the Themes list and even more from Application Manager. So I have the themes installed and: some of them appear in Themes but don't appear in Application Manager so they cannot be uninstalled; others don't appear anywhere; others appear in both places.
4. [MINOR] The help text for Themes states that you should press "C" to remove a theme. This is not true. The only way to remove a theme is to uninstall it from Application Manager (and I'm unable to do that due to #3).
5. [MINOR] Barcode Reader. It's not available anywhere in the menus but when I try to install it I get "This component is built-in" error.
6. [MINOR] Gallery. Create an album, add a photo to it. Go to Gallery, Options/Albums/View Albums. Highlight the album and select Options/Slide Show/Start. The application crashes. From time to time it also reboots the device.
7. [MINOR] Gallery. Often when I view a 3 megapixel photo and try to zoom it, I get "not enough memory" error.
8. Cable connection in USB Mass Storage mode seems to be implemented in a non-standard way. (Or, maybe it is a card formatting/partitioning issue?) Tried it on Linux, and could only see the card as a device (/dev/sdb in my case) but no partition on it (i.e. no /dev/sdb1). I understand that this is not important to Nokia as Linux users are in minority but why can't you do it in a standard way? Practically all USB Mass Storage devices (USB disks, cameras, memory card readers, flash memory sticks) work without problems, but N73 doesn't.
SUGGESTIONS / WISHLIST
1. Nokia, please, some more testing before bringing your products to the market! I've been using my N73 for two weaks maybe and encoutered several serious bugs. How is it possible that your qualified testing team which you surely have wasn't able to find them?
2. Support. There is a lot of complaints about quality of Nokia customer support. I don't have my own experience with it yet so I'm not complaining but why you cannot at least provide an e-mail address? It's always: go to http://europe.nokia.com/A4144989, but then I need to select my country, browse through 5 or so web pages and then all I get is a *tiny* text box telling me "Ask your question". And I need to select my phone model from the list but guess what? it is not even listed there!
3. More RAM! It is way too small in n73. Just after booting I have about 20 megs and then it's getting lower. A single application like Gallery can easily take 5 - 7 MB and it doesn't seem to return all of it to the system when closed.
4. Could you please consider providing an easier way of upgrading the firmware? Due to the number of bugs in your software I really need to do the upgrade. But the nearest Nokia service center is about 100 kilometers away. I'd like to do it myself but without a need for third party software (I mean MS Windows).
5. Available firmware version. It is not displayed on the update page. Some posts in this forum say there is 3.0628.something available. But tried on the software update availability page, entered my phone's code (0541421) and got "Sorry! No software update available for this product code. Try again soon.".
Why isn't it available for my N73??
Phew! Anybody something to add here?

Hey I am in Australia and bought Nokia N73 yesterday and I can't connect it to PC. I am running Windows XP with SP2. Windows reports "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognise it.For assistance in solving this problem, click this message."
Well clicking on the message pops the device driver troubleshooting dialog which recommends "try reconnecting and if still doesn't work replace the device"
Any help please?

N73 - SMS Editor Bug

Hi!
I have a N73 ME with Firmware Version 3.0638.0.0.30 (It looks like Nokia wont ever release a newer Firmware for my Product Code 0544952).
When i write a SMS and press 3x "0" to get an line break the phone brings me right back to the standby screen - but only if i confirm the line break by pressing the joystick to the right.
"0", "0", "0", "joystick right"
When i confirm the line break by pressing pushing the joystick to the left everything is fine.
Can anyone confirm this? Is this still the case with newer Versions?
Cheers.

My 3.0705.1.0.31 also has this silly bug.

Solved!

yea dude..
blue haze is still there.. Some says that it fixes if we put White Balance to Sunny mode.. but the pic becomes yellowish.. sucks!!! i cant understand , y Nokia cant put the base firmware's(i.e. V2.XXXX) camera clarity in these latest updates..
Also, in my N73 the camera shutter sound remains even after i turn OFF the warning sounds from profile.. (but in some N73 with other product codes, the sound disappears by doing the same..)
If at all NOKIA engineers comes by my posts.. my request to them is to improve the camera quality of this phone..! or make a way to degrade the firmware of phones through Nokia Care Points..

[BUG?] N73 Flash Disabled but still working

HI there yesterday i noticed something weird,i disabled my nokia flash before taking photos but i noticed sometimes the flash worked eventhough i disabled it!
Could this be a bug?
N95-1
Firmware - V 31.0.017

I was told that there is a requirement that a photo cannot be taken secretly using a phone, that means there has to be some form of indication that a photo is taken.
In your case even though flash is disabled, it only means the flash is not on when the shutter is closing but a flash is still activated either before or after the capture just to indicate that a photo is taken.

N73 v3.0638.0.0.1 bugs

Noticed the following bugs:
- With 3D Tones on, while listening to music, you get a missed call. Click Show Missed Call from the main screen (goes to Missed Calls in the Log), Dial, phone reboots (but manages to connect and ring once while rebooting)
- White balance preview still does not work properly (for example on a sunny day select Fluorescent - it should make everything blueish on the display - but it only happens for a fraction of a second, then returns to the default auto mode). Sometimes however, once you take a picture in the way described above, it would be blueish (even if you didn't have any hint of it coming this way), but not always.
Hope these will be seen by the programming team and be fixed with a new firmware release. Especially the camera bug, the first one is not a show stopper.

Also noticed that noise levels are unacceptable with the new firmware update, even in good lighting conditions. A glossy red cup I've taken a picture of in bright sunlight has a lot of noise on it (ISO is set to 100 though, judging from EXIF info).

N73, Upgrade V4.0726.2.0.1 bug

Hi everyone,
Lately i upgraded my n73-1's firmware from 3.xxx to V4.0726.2.0.1. Everything works fine except the fact that i cannot chose Sandby Mode Apps : The basic 6 icon set cannot be changed since the Param - Phone - Stanby Mode - Standby Apps does not work...
- Am i the only one in this situation ?
- Is there any means to fix this ?
Thanks in advance...

Your best bet is back up only contact, message etc, but setting by PC Suite. Then copy all content in MiniSD to PC via card reader (you have to set folder option in Windows >> show system and hidden files first). Then hard reset your phone >> just restore back up >> format MiniSD by phone then copy back just nescessary files from contents of your card earlier copied to PC. The files you need back should be under folder image and sound, the rest of your favourite programs have to be re-installed. I had have done all that, now my phone works as it intended to be.

N73 + 4.0735.3.0.2 = still bluetooth bug?

I had and (unfortunatelly) i still have problem with bluetooth communications. I upgraded the software to latest vers. (N73 not ME) thought it'll help. But ever after I did it I cant connect to i.e. LG Shine mobile via BT, nokia display an error:unable to connect. By the way - it works only in one way, it's mean that i can establish a connection with my N73 using i.e. LG but when i try connect to LG using N73 I've got an error. Any ideas? (Sorry for my english ;P )

try formating *#7370# if it still happens then reflash the firmware again, if that fails take it to a nokia repair center.

N73 Camera Bug! Driving me CRAZY!

I thought the point of having a 3.2 megapixel camera integrated into your phone, was that you could take pictures.
The jumping in and out of the camera application is driving me up the wall and really making me hate my N73. I open the shutter, and nothing happens. When it does, it shows an imge for 5 seconds, then goes back to standby mode, then back to cam, then back to standby mode!!!!! So frustrating!!! And the word is spreading... When I want to take a picture with friends etc, it just never works... and it's making Nokia look pretty darn bad.
I've reinstalled the firmware twice now! I used software updater and currently have version 3.0638.0.0.1 (30-10-2006)... when will there be a new version to correct this!?!

i experienced it after the firmware upgrade its very annoying especially when you need to take a picture with a group unfortunately the cam is switching to cam-standbymode-cam-standbymode. then my images can view left to right (latest image - oldest image) but after the upgrade it reverse to right -left. i really love my n73 but sometimes it is the cause of my headache.

Several Software issues with N73

Hey
Im in South-Africa and got a N73 on a contract upgrade. Since i got the phn i noticed several issues/bugs with the software. Im not complaining about the phn. I think it's a great phn, Im only highlighting the problems so that in the next firmware upgrade the problems will hopefully be dealt with.
The problems i found were:
1 - While browsing the internet the browser just closes and returns to the standby screen. Happens frequently.
2 - Sometimes the camera takes a photo but does not store it
3 - When opening up the gallery it sometimes does not open and returns to the menu.
4 - Dont know if this is a bug, but with my 7610 i could "multitask", eg. while a Java app was running i could press the red button and return to the standby screen while the java app is still running in the background and when i clicked on the app it will return. I see that this is missing in the N73, i thought this was a great ability and would love for the N73 to do the same. I dont know if it's a firmware update or dependant on the operating system.
I hope the Nokia team takes note of these issues.
Thanks
A

sorry, i forgot to say my firmware version is v3.0638.0.0.1
