the whole thing seems weird to me, and also why it is not allowed in some areas?
There are some countries where law does not permit the use of personal FM transmitters. They only became legal here in the UK a few years ago...

N8 Missing FM Transmitter

According to the Users Guide the N8 is supposed to have an FM transmitter that allows the Music Player to broadcast to any FM radio. On my N8 it appears to be missing, but the FM radio receiver does work. Does any else have an N8 without an FM transmitter?

Beware Updating To V2.0 Software

I finally managed to update to ver 2.0 last night, uk unlocked N97 on Orange. The update itself took several hours, thanks to nokia ovi suite and software updater repeatedly crashing and needing reinstalled, resulting in me losing all my data that I had just backed up, nice 1 Nokia.
Anyway, all day today, the widgets haven't been working, it keeps asking me to set up my email, resetting itself, gps is **bleep** again, accu weather not working, browser taking 30 seconds to recognise a click and the FM transmitter seems to have disappeared and the new and improved OVI store doesn't work at all.
So after I finished work, I nipped into the Nokia flagship store on Regent street to get some help. Got chatting to a helpful member of staff and mentioned that i'd updated the phone and now loads of things weren't working. He asked if i'd updated to v12 (I hadn't, i'd just got it back from repair to sort the camera lense and dodgy gps, and the repair centre had installed V12 for me) and when i replied "no, to version 20" his exact words were "oh no" According to him V2.0 is seriously broke in many ways, he was nearly as **bleep** as me actually as he has an N97 as his personal phone. He claimed that among other things, it wipes the fm transmitter, wipes wifi functionality from the phone (although strangely this is one of the things still working on mine?) He was quick to agree with me that it was an absolute disgrace the way this was being dragged out and they basically knew nothing about what was being done. It was actually quite funny as I went to show them the missing fm transmitter screen, the phone crashed right in front of them, without me even doing anything, both members of staff looked like they wanted to be sucked through a hole in the floor.
Now I don't know if the V.2 software has been pulled from the updaters or not, but according to this guy, Nokia are right now frantically working on a fix for the V.2 software but surprise surprise has no idea when we'll be likely to see it. Like many on here, I have been patient and despite having some niggling problems, I held off complaining with the expectation that V.2 would solve many of the gripes and annoyances, but it seems Nokia are absolutely incapable of properly testing things work properly, one of the worst examples of quality control i've ever seen, maybe only rivalled by the Microsoft Xbox 360 debacle.
Until recently, I hadn't had a Nokia phone for about 10 years (7210) but liked the look of the N97 so I bought an N97 and 5800 Xpressmusic to compare, intending to sell on ebay the 1 i didn't want. I actually preferred many of the things on the 5800, but ultimately the extra storage, better screen and keyboard won me over to to the N97, especially as it seemed to be working pretty well over the last week or so with the V12 software. Just this weekend, I gave my little sis the 5800 as a gift to cheer her up after she got pick-pocketed at Oxford circus on Friday, and now it seems I'm left with an expensive brick and may even have to go and buy another cheap handset, just to keep in touch until the problems are hopefully ironed out once and for all.
I'm no fanboy and have no loyalty to any manufacturer, but this experience has left me with a sour taste in my mouth, Nokia really need to pull the finger out. The ironic thing is, about 30 minutes after I managed to update, I got an email from Orange about the iPhone, which is supposedly coming in 2 weeks so I may end up just buying out my contract and upgrading to a new iPhone. The idea of the N97 was that I wanted an alternative to an iPhone, but it seems its just not rready to step up to the plate.
Overall, I feel cheated by Nokia, foolish for believing their grandiose claims about the performance of this phone and unless this is sorted and quickly, its not unreasonable to assume it may be another 10 years before I buy a Nokia product again, way to go Nokia, what a response to your declining market share. And i'm sure there are thousands more like me.....

1. When i begin to download off of iTunes, i know that i will pay the $9.95. What if my download attempt fails? Would i have to pay $9.95 each time i try to download?
You would only pay once. If for some reason you were billed more than once Customer Service is pretty good about fixing things like that.
2. After the download is done, will all my apps still be present the way i left them when i had 2.2.1 (before the download)?
You should be just fine since your Touch is backed up to iTunes. You might find some apps in a new location on the screen, but they should all be loaded just like they were before. If you have anything on your Touch that is not on your computer, rectify that before updating to 3.0 just in case the Touch is erased in the process -- shouldn't happen, but it did to some.
Finally, be aware of all the issues with 3.0 before you update. The wi-fi and YouTube issues seem to be random, I didn't have problems with those but many did. For me I'm extremely bummed that (a) Live Updating on the Touch is broken with 3.0 -- smart playlists don't update until your next sync, and (b) My factory Honda iPod integration no longer works (I've hear that BMW's is broken too) and there might be other accessories affected.

N79 FM Transmitter Application problem

Hi!
Well I buy my N79 last month after purchasing this cell I update the fireware, every thing was working fine but 2 days ago when I tried to use FM Transmitter I found its not working.
Whenever I click on FM Transmitter a message pops in say " Activate FM transmitter? " but it can't open the application after click on YES. I restore my cell to factory default but still same problem. I don't have any idea it is a bug or something else. Please help me.
Regards.

Hay Guys are you talking this 32,001,53,1 version for N97? I am in India and OVI suite still shows me 20v.
Anyways about FM Transmitter.
1. Check whether your country allows FM transmitter.
2. Select a FM range where other service providers are not available.
3. Keep phone below 2mtr range from the receiver.
4. Do connect any wire headset or bluetooth headset.
5. Turn on receiver and match the frequency.
6. Now press play button in phone's music player.
7. Increase volume in your receiver.

Fm transmitter missing after updating my n85

Hi everyone,
I've buyed N85 and i was exited about all the features that it brings. Later I've decided to update it's firmwire to get the improvement and i just wished that didn't do that.
Well the problem is when i've tried after 2 days to use the "FM transmitter" it was missing and couldn't find it or activate it
plz i need the solution for this issue. If it was discussed before plz send me the link coz i couldn't find any
thanks in advance
Solved!
Go to Solution.

What has most likely happened is that you were sold an N85 that was originally designed to be sold in a country that prohibits the use of FM transmitters. The retailer will have altered the phones software (details of how are not allowed here) so that the FM transmitter was re-enabled. They should have made you aware of this as it can also affect the warranty.
When you update phones they rightly revert back to the correct software for country it's designed to be sold in. This will have undone the retailers modifications.
You should take the issue up with the retailer that sold it to you. You could also try a nokia care point for help but they may not be able to depending on what the original retailer did to it.

C7: FM transmitter missing!

I live in the U.S.A. , where the C7 is not officially sold yet. The N8 is sold here, but I wouldn't want it even if it was free, not even if I was paid $500 to use it, because the N8 is unsafe. The N8 doesn't have a replaceable battery. I don't want the battery to run out in an emergency - I always carry a spare battery in my pocket.
So I ordered a C7 online from a third party. It turns out that my C7 came from Hong Kong, where Nokia has disabled the FM transmitter by firmware on the C7.
Is there any way to enable the FM transmitter, other than by flashing the firmware, as described here:
http://www.nokiausers.net/forum/other-nokia-handsets/38503-fixed-fm-transmitter-missing-nokia-c7.htm...
I know there's a fix from Nokia to enable to the VOIP - is there a similar fix to enable the FM transmitter?
If I flash the firmware, will I lose all of my data and applications? I have never flashed/rooted a phone before. Could someone post step by step instructions how to do this, please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Finally, FREEEEDOOOOM!!!!
My so-called "unlocked' Nokia C7 is finally fully unlocked.
Happiness is an unlocked, uncrippled phone! A phone that has all the built-in features, including the FM transmitter. Power to the people!
I flashed/rooted my phone with the PR1.2 (12.004) firmware (I picked the Euro/UK and Ireland version), replacing the cr*ppy Hong Kong firmware. There wasn't even a PR1.2 update for the Hong Kong firmware available yet.
Everything is working fine now. I didn't have to reinstall any apps. All the connectivity settings, including WPA2 and VOIP/SIP are working. I had a small problem initially after the flashing with my personal calendar entries not showing. But I was able to fix those easily through the calendar settings.
A somewhat more unnerving problem was that within the first 10 minutes after flashing, my phone would lock up and the screen would go black a couple of times, necessiating removal of the battery to reboot. But that hasn't occurred since.

Nokia N79 FM Transmitter Problem

Hi guys,
I'm from India and purchased an N79 about 6 months back.
I have updated my firmware to the latest 32.001.
However I seem to have a problem with the transmission of the FM Transmitter.
Earlier in firmware versions 11.XXX and 20.XXX the signal from the FM Transmitter used to be very clear, and the output from the speakers very neat. Almost as good as the car music system. However with the update in firmware, the signal is really low and there is a lot of disturbance when I'm transmitting. I tried to use different frequencies to transmit, but the result is the same. Kindly help me guys. I really love this phone and this application. Hope to get a solution soon.
Thanks and Regards.

Hey guys please respond..

Nokia N79 FM transmitter repair

Hi there.
Few days ago I changed full cover of my N79.
I accidentally lost a small thingy that connects 4 pins at the back cover of phone to the motherboard.
After loosing that detail, FM transmitter stopped working.
My question would be if there is a place on web where I could order and by that detail. I've searched eBay and Google and only solution I found is to by middle cover that costs approximately 40 pounds but I need only one small detail.

Hi krapiks,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
We cannot allow discussions on self-repair on the forum because once you open the device yourself you may cause further damage to the device (as seems to be the case) and void any existing warranty. This is also stated in the forum guidelines.
So, we would advise you to visit your local Nokia Care Point and let them have a look. They should be able to help you with hardware related issues.
Let us know how you get on,

Nokia 701 - FM Transmitter missing?

Hi Guys, just got brand new Nokia 701 but find out FM Transmitter is missing , no widget , no shortcut , no 'play via radio' option ? The phone came with FP1 installed. How can I get this application up and working. HELP.

G'day mate,
The non-presence of the FM transmitter feature may be due to country requirements i.e. certain countries ban the use of FM transmittance devices. If you wish to double-check with your local Nokia Care they will be able to confirm this or not.

Replacing a missing piece for iPod FM Transmitter?

Don't know if that's the right label but it looks like this.
I have everything visible in that picture, but the cylinder shaped conductor piece that connects my iPod to my cigarette lighter is lost. I'm pretty certain that it's a generic electrical piece but I don't know what it's called so I can't search for it and just get it at a local radioshack. Does Apple replace small pieces like that? Or better yet, what would you call that piece (cylinder shaped, maybe an inch long, clear in the middle with metal conductors on both ends)?

Thanks, that's the correct term.
I'll stop by Radioshack tomorrow to see if I can get the right fuse but should I get the rating before I go or should they be able to figure it out without it? It's actually a Belkin product and their tech support is Monday through Friday so I can't call them yet to see to get the right fuse rating/information.
The only numbers printed on the adapter are the model #, FCC ID, C-Tick Mark, and another number (Z528) that I couldn't figure out.

New To Nokia And Having Some issues With N79

Hi
I have bought a Nokia for the first time ever and fancied a change from Sony Ericsson due to software issues, however i have been experiencing a few issues with my N79.
When listening to Music in the Music Player and change track, the phone will crash and keep restart it's self, so i tried searching online for the issue and didn't find much help, so i tried doing a Soft Reset wich didn't work.
I then tried a Hard Reset and have noticed some icons are missing and the preinstalled Wallpapers, Ringtones and Videos have been deleted.
I then downloaded and installed Nokia Software Updater and tried re-installing the phones software (wich is 11.049.53.1) thinking i would get back the Wallpapers, Ringtones and Videos ect but that didn't work...
And now the phone has developed another bug... Whenever i use the GPS it asks to go online and i click yes, the phone will just crash and restart and i have to take the battery out to get it to go off.
So far i am NOT very happy with the phone concidering the price i payed for it and having more software issues to deal with...
Any help would be appreciated...

Which map do you mean ??? And will it restore all the preinstalled content ???
Ive only had this phone a week after paying nearly £300 and im having trouble with it already...
