N73 Connectivity

I was having problems connecting my phone to my PC via a USB port, kept getting the message the USB cable was not recognised.
Today I restored the factory settings on the phone and tried the connection again and it worked.
It is a 'bit of a pain' having to do it this way but at least I will be able to download music onto the phone.

I have previously attempted changing the COM Port settings as I also thought there must have been some conflict. However, my ADSL router is not a USB device - it is purely a LAN connection.
In response to your comments, I did have at one stage the exclamation mark next to the N73 USB (COM10). I believe this was due to a conflict with one of the Bluetooth drivers that was also using COM10. I disabled the other device and don't believe that I have had the exclamation mark on the N73 USB since.
I will confirm this tonight when I get home, however, and will experiment further with your proposed solution.
PC Suite does and always has been able to find my phone. The problem is with the Nokia Software Updater not detecting my phone, and with the various driver issues aforementioned.
Thanks for the assistance.
Cheers,
Aaron

  • N73 Connection To Internet via Bluetooth Problem

    Hi guys, I need some help...
    I got N73 ME, I'm using it as a modem with my PC(using cable) and its working good.
    My problem is, if I connect it using blue tooth I cannot connect to the internet (I can browse, transfer, backup) the only problem is the internet connection. If I try to connect, I'll get "Failed to connect to the network! One Touch Access could not connect to the selected device".
    Any help is highly appreciated.

    reinstall your bluetooth drivers or pc suite?
    and try !!
    i did that,and my problem is now solved ..
    also check your dial-up settings after re-installation,

  • Nokia 5800 and AVRCP issues.

    Hi ,
    First of all I just regret having 5800 in the first place, I really pity nokia , they have lost all the respect I ever had for them.
    Starting with the problem I bought a Jabra BT3030 few days back to use it along with my nokia 5800, Nokia 5800 does support AVRCP profile ( atleast they have mentioned it on their website http://www.nokia.co.in/find-products/products/nokia-5800-xpressmusic/specifications ) , 5800 ( Rev : 20.0.012 ) just fails to understand the remote play / pause / forward and backward tracks commands. Which I found to be working perfectly with Nokia E51/E71 and to my horror even the old N73 connects seamlessly.
    I have tried with two of 5800 handsets ( even both having the same colour :-) ) and no wonder they had the same problem , I am not sure of the firmware revision of the other handset , but it wont be greater than 20.0.012 for sure.
    I had mailed this to nokia support regarding the problem and following was their reply;
    "This e-mail is with regard to functionality of headset Nokia 5800. We regret the inconvenience caused. We would like to inform you that Nokia does not recommend the usage of non Nokia enhancement with Nokia product as it might hamper the optimal performance of the phone." 
    What a pity I must say, the people replying dont even understand the meaning of bluetooth standard's which have been written for AVRCP.
    Please advice if anyone elseis also facing the same problem and how should I tackle this.
    Thanks and regards,

  • Trying to restore backup data from a 6280 to an N7...

    Guys please help, I'm so gutted about this. My 6280 is damaged & I have no screen, so haven't been able to read any text messages for the past two weeks. However I've constantly backed all these up via PC Suite & have the copier files on my system. But when I try to locate these via the backup application within Suite, with my N73 connected, it doesn't show?! What'd I do?

    bump.

  • PC Suite with virtualized Windows NOT working

    PC Suite (6.83.14.1) is not working with a vitualized OS, i tested it with
    Linux (Ununtu) 7.10 as Host OS
    VirtualBox 1.5.6 with USB support
    Guest (virtualized) OS tried: Windows 2000, XP Sp2/3 and Vista sp1
    The phone (nokia N73) connected bij USB is recognized, the modem is working, but wen connecting the phone it comes with an error:
    "PC Suite does not recognise the connected phone. The connection between the PC and the phone failed, error code 0x80044403. Switch off your phone, switch it on, and try again."
    in Windows management the phone is recognized, correctly
    as "Nokia N73 USB Phone Parent" and below that device:
    - Nokia N73 as: COM3, Generic, Modem, en 2 OBEX devices.
    also below "Ports" the phone is visible as USB(COM3)
    Al (!) my other USB devices like USB stick's USB-DVD-recorder are working fine.
    also Windows CE-devices, like a Navman (Windows CE), connected by Microsoft activesync are working perfect.
    PC Suite is necessary to run firmware upgrades!
    So, it lookes likes a PC Suite problem, while everything is functioning except PC Suite.

    PC Suite ver 7.0 is NOT working with virtualised OS. I have tested on OpenSuse 11.0 as HOST OS with SUN xVM VirtualBox Graphical User Interface 2.0.2 with USB Support enabled. The Virtualised OS is Windows XP with all Service Packs / Windows updates loaded.
    The Phone E90 Communicator is connected via USB
    In Windows management the Phone is recognised as Wireless Communication Devices --> Nokia E90 Communicator USB Phone Parent.
    When connecting the Phone it shows an error:
    "PC Suite does not recognise the connected phone. The connection between the PC and the phone failed, error code 0x80044403. Switch off your phone, switch it on, and try again."
    PC Suite is required to backup the phone, etc so that I can use the E90 in Virtualised Windows on OpenSuse 11.0.
    Would Love to have this working. Hate using Windows only to access the Phone since OpenSuse 11.0 is my primary OS. I will have to reboot the system, select Windows XP if all I have to use Windows XP is for accessing the Phone.
    Appreciate a revert at the earliest.

  • 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.

  • N73 will no longer connect to Gmail application

    Hello, I've seen this problem all over the internet and no one seems to have ever found a solution. I live in France I have a Nokia N73 and my provider is Bouygues Telecom. I have had the same brand and make of phone for 3 years (my current one is just a few months old)
    I have not been able to connect to the Gmail application (either the classic red one or the blue one-mail by google)for one week now. My web browser works perfectly and always has, my native email works very well (configured to email)My configuration settings, gmail pop settings are all correct. I have phoned my provider and nothing has changed on their end. I have tried removing the gmail app and re-downloading-for all the different versions of it, tried switching it off, removing the battery and I have even reset the phone to no avail. When I open gmail app it just keeps searching and then it says I don't have a connection. This has never happened before, I've been using gmail app for a couple of years since it came out with no problems and I'd really rather continue using it as it's really handy. Any ideas?

    use IMAP. dont use POP for incoming connection settings.
    imap.gmail.com
    port: default or, 993
    smtp.gmail.com
    port: default
    access point: (use your service provider access point. all small letters with no gap)
    user name: [email protected]
    pass: (your pass)
    I use N73. Works well. please use updated firmware for removing any error.

  • Cant connect N73.

    Hi,
    I have this problem with my N73.Everytime that i connect it to my computer using the cable that came with it, the homescreen will flicker before i can select the pc suite option then it will restart.It happens all the time and if i dont remove the usb cable it will shutdown.I've tried w/o the sim card but same problem.Can anyone help me.I will really appreaciate it.
    Thanks.
    "One miss, You die"

    You can try a reset, but if your n73 can't connect to your pc, you will lose all your phone's data as you are not able to backup your stuff first! So, note that if you do a soft or a hard reset you will lose all your phone's files.
    Factory settings reset. In standby, dial *#7780# and the phone's lock code (the Nokia's default lock code is 12345). This reset restores phone's original settings.
    Soft reset. In standby dial *#7370# and the phone's lock code.
    Warning!Soft reset deletes all your phone's data, so backup your stuff before you do a soft reset!
    Hard reset. Turn off the phone. Press and hold three keys together, the green key, the '*' key and the number '3'.Then, turn on the phone and don't let the three keys before you see the Nokia hands logo.
    For 5800 XM hard reset need different keys. The green key, the red key and the camera button. The process is the same.Warning!Hard reset deletes all your phone's data!

  • Using My N73's Bluetooth connection as adapter for...

    Hey guys,
    This is not a question that can be put into one sentence...
    I shall put it as short and descriptive as possible.
    I can connect my laptop to the internet using the Built-in Modem I have in my laptop (Dial-Up).
    My brothers laptop is new, He does not have a Modem built in and I do not have any other hardware here.
    I was thinking, Is it possible to Have the following setup
    Dial-Up -> Laptops Modem -> N73's Bluetooth connection -> Brothers Bluetooth connection (on his laptop) -> Internet.
    So actualy making a Networking Bridge from My Laptops Modem to the Bluetooth of my N73.
    (I could maybe buy a Lan Cable somewhere here and make a Networking Bridge between the Modem and the Lan port, but only if this is not possible whatsoever.)
    Thanks In Advance...

    This has been a while, and I am back home now.
    What I ment is what I said, I never mentioned my laptop having a Bluetooth connection nor using my telephone as a modem. I said that I wanted to use my Laptop as Modem and my brothers laptop as the client connection through bluetooth to my telephone wich in his way would be just a bluetooth adapter for my laptop. Now I figured that out myself and I had Dial-Up Internet on both laptops.
    Since It worked I am going to ask another question hoping that you guys will just say I don't know instead of It's not possible.
    How do I configure my N73 to become my laptops Bluetooth Adapter so I can connect any bluetooth device to my laptop.
    (saves me 20 euros, but that is not the point)

  • N73 Trying to connect to Pioneer DEH-85BT Head Uni...

    Right,
    Got a replacement N73 from Orange as mine was broken! My old one connected fine to my headunit (Had a little car next to the bluetooth symbol)
    My new one will connect but Can I get a car symbol, can i Hell! Tried for an hour still no joy!
    It connects but wont transfer the call to the headunit! The headunit recognises there is a call but wont play it through the speakers!
    Any Ideas before I throw the N73 against a wall????

    Good news boys and girls. I had the exact same problem with my 6110.
    Here is the fix. Update software for your head unit. Works perfectly. I hate Nokia.
    Thank God for pioneer doing the right thing and stepping up to clean up Nokia's mess. I won't be getting another Nokia after all the problems I have had with them, just thankful that my hands free works again... for now..
    http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/content/support/support/update/deh_bt_update.html
    I did find that pioneer tell you to delete the phone from the Head unit connection list as step 4 AFTER updating it whereas I found that it would only update if I deleted the phone from the Head unit and the Head unit from the phone first. You will find that after the update the phone will connect as both a phone and a BT audio device at the same time which is a nice improvement. Still doesnt let you have voice navigation at the same time as listening to music from USB but an improvement none the less.

  • Windows Media Player 11 Bluetooth connect with N73

    Anyone can help me with connecting N73 to Windows Media Player via bluetooth?
    I have Nokia PC Suite updated and Bluetooth connects with it.
    I can see it on "My Computer" folder as a phone and also as a camera.
    In Device Manager, i can also see it as a "Portable Media Device"
    But Windows Media Player doesn't seem to detect it when it is connected to PC via bluetooth. Only when connected by cable. But as I want to get rid of the cable, how should I manage this?
    Thank you very much.

    As you are using Windows 7, you can use this extension from Microsoft - http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/html5-extension-for-wmp-plugin

  • Updater connectivity problem with N73

    I try to update my phone N73 using the "Nokia Software Updater". All software installed correctly and I can use it to manage my phone.
    But. When I try to update the firmware the "Nokia Software Updater" can not find my phone. Step 2 - Searching for connected phone does not pass.
    Have anybody else this problem?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Please use the search function... there are many threads open already about this general problem, and some solutions are offered as well. I'll offer you one over here: try a different USB port, preferably on the back of your pc, and CLOSE ANY OPEN application, on your phone as well as on the PC (beware to shutdown PC Sync as well). Also, set your phone to ASK which Data Connection type to use. Go to Tools > Data Cable to change this option. Set it to "Ask upon connection". Setting it explicitly to PC Suite doesn't work for NSU for some odd reason, and this appears to be true for ALL models that offer this option.
    Finally, if the problem persists, open Nokia PC Suite and choose Help > About Nokia PC Suite. In the dialogue that appears, click System Info. Next, see whether PC Suite RECOGNISES the Cable Connectivity drivers. This is where most people experience the problem. Note that, to use NSU, you'll need PC Suite 6.8x! (where x = 1 or 2 -- i.e. the newest available version of PC Suite!)
