N80 backlight and new firmware - please advise

Hi,
I just got an N80 and I'm really happy with it except for the backlight which seems to come on randomly. I put this down to the light sensor and tried adjusting to maximum as suggested by Nokia FAQ, but that didn't help and I assumed it was normal behaviour.
I took the N80 to a Nokia service centre to upgrade the firmware and they said the backlight should always come on when the slider is opened and when any key is pressed, regardless of the light sensor settings. Can anyone pleese confirm this as mine doesn't do that.
Also, they didn't upgrade my firmware bcos the product code was vodafone and although the phone is genuinely sim-unlocked from Nokia, they can only upgrade with the Vodafone firmware otherwise the upgrade would invalidate my warranty. I don't understand why that should be the case if the phone is not sim-locked. How long before the vodafone firmware will be released?
Thanks.

Well, they scanned it on the warranty system and it comes up okay for warranty (there's a line with Sim-Lock: N). What they said was it's a batch of phones allocated to vodafone. I still don't see why I can't upgrade the firmware and retain the warranty.Message Edited by dijimon on 25-Aug-2006

there is nothing stopping you getting the phone updated under warranty. As long as the phone is within its warranty period, a Nokia Engineer will be able to update it for you.
However, this will only be done under warranty if there is a problem with your phone.
If you would just like to get it updated just for the sake of having the latest firmware, then the Engineers may charge you for this.
By getting your phone updated you will get the latest firmware available for Vodafone in your country.

  • Another New User, Please Advise, Can I Permanently Use Zen Stone From Power Adap

    Can I permanently run my new Zen Stone directly from the Zen USB Power Adapter. Like I have my Zen Stone connected to small speakers and would like it to run off the Zen Power Adapter (wall charger) not the battery, permanently. In other words I would like to keep it plugged into the Power Adapter all the time and run it that way so I don't have to run it off the battery and keep charging it. Is this OK to do Please advise this senior citizen trying to keep up with all this great stuff.

  • I was able to print my month view from ical, but no longer is "month" an option. I can only see list and day. Please advise!

    Just curious...about two weeks ago I was able to print my ical calendar in month view. For some reason, "month view" is no longer an option in print mode. The only two options I have are day or list. Not sure how to print in month view now or retreive that back. Please advise : )

  • Simultanious initialization for S&D and MM mdules please advise

    Dear All,
    Can we do the initialization for S&D and MM mdules simultaniously as there is time constraint for the down time from the business.
    Please advise. its urgent.
    Points will be awareded.
    Regards
    Nisarg.

    Hi,
    You can do it simultaneously.
    Things you need to consider while doing this (Init).
    You will need to fill the set up tables in 'no postings period'. In other words when no trasnactions are posted for that area in R/3 otherwise those records will not come to BW. Discuss this with end user and decide. Weekends are a general choice for this activity.
    You can run them after business hours so that there wont be any transactions, or in the night times or you can do it on week ends so that there is no need to take down time.
    Fill the setup tables with already closed values and then fill up again with open values.This will reduce the down time.
    Initialize  closed periods first in which users wont enter data ( for example in 2007 or 2006), this initializations can be done while users are working. Then the initialize last period at night/weekends.holidays etc.
    If you know documents that are in closed periods, and you are sure that these documents can no longer be changed, you can only fill the SetUp tables for these documents or only for these periods, by continuing to post in open periods. You then initialize only for these intervals, delete the setup table, and only then do you fill the setup table with the rest of the documents  this procedure can drastically reduce the downtimes of your system.
    However, there is a risk that user exits (and in LIS, formulas and conditions) can be used to retrieve documents that are in periods that are already "closed periods".
    One more thing what you need to bear in mind is, to check if there are any Scheduled jobs which are updating the transaction tables, which would definitely cause Data Reconciliation Issues.

  • Nokia 6500c - New Firmware, please!

    This is the message I was trying to send through the "Feedback" page in Nokia.com, but it doesn't work! Very strange. So I'm posting it here and hoping that maybe this message will reach Nokia themselves.
    Hello, I own a 6500 classic. I can say I'm really happy I got it, although it was a bit expensive for me. I enjoyed it from the minute I got it, first of all, because it's really nice looking, comfortable to use and work with. It's my first high class Nokia phone - I've had 3310, 6030, 1110i and finally the 6500c. I'm a Nokia fan :-) However, I think, I could give you some personal ideas about the performance of the phone, and what could be fixed and done better, after all, there's always room for improvement and Nokia, as a leading mobile phone manufacturer, strives for perfection.
    Just to make sure, I have the RM-265 type, 42.02 variant, V 03.21.
    One thing for sure, that could be included in the firmware update, I think, could be management of the display: the user should be able to change the contrast and backlighting, in order to save some battery time. The other thing, why not include a "screen off" type of screen saver? I find the current system quite ineffective: if you do set (any) screensaver on and lock the keypad or don't do anything, it, of course, turns the screensaver on, but then, after some minutes turns into the little "overview" box that slides from place to place showing Time and Date, you know, and the display automatically turns itself off after just some 15-20 mins more. Now, I really find the "Analogue clock" screensaver beautiful, but then it turns into the not-so-nice little box previously mentioned. So I now use the phone with screensaver off in order to get the box from the beginning, as a screensaver. So, in all, Menu-Settings-Display-Screensaver-Screen off (timeout to set, too) would be great.
    Other problems - you have to click twice to move down on contact list after searching (ie, type R and press down twice to get to the second person one the list rather than once)
    - Menus After saving a setting or discarding a setting, the phone will return to a random menu, not the related menu
    - Call / Green button - Displays call log as opposed to "Dialled calls"
    - This might not be a firmware/software issue, but the quiet places in MP3s (when played through the speaker) come out "scratchy" and not nice and pleasant to hear at all! Also, one can't listen to classical music on the speaker at all - too quiet and scratchy, as I said! That's the most disappointing bug. Maybe it's just my phone, but I've heard other people saying this is happening with their devices as well.
    Thanks a lot, hope to see a firmware update for 6500c soon!
    Sincerely,
    Vytenis

    6500c, 6030

    does anyone have any idea hoe to download new software for the 6500c using a windows vista pc? Oh! what about the fact that after you have missed a call,received a message that the phone initially alerts you the one time;and if you don't get it;you are alerted no more.Thats not good.I guess if you don't here the phone ring the first time,then you are just **bleep** out until you have a reason to pick up the phone and then see that you missed a call or received a message.

  • WRT610N - Bugs and new firmware

    I installed WRT610N under XP (original firmware, no updating), runs well: Internet OK. Storage on 500 Mb Western Digital HD OK, FTP OK, WiFi OK, Media Center OK with PS3 (Twonky work well), DDNS is OK.
    Considering that: FTP a bit sluggish, FTP autentication not possible (should be sorted out by firmware B10 ?!) , People says that with "B10" it is no longer impossible to get to Twonky through port 9000.
    I ask:  anybody can suggest me if it is worthy to upgrade my Firmware with the latest "B15" dated 28th of Luglio ? Anybody knows anything ?
    Moreover: other owners please keep in touch for info sharing, it seems the only way to get knowledge on it.
    Hugs

    The die is cast. I have got it. When I bought it the manufacturer has not told me that USB support is crap. In fact it works, but with some bugs.Considering LinkSys Cisco is a mayor Company, I respect them and I count they sort out understandable bugs by updated firmware.
    The router is also not cheap, therefore they have an obbligation to the consumers even though the post-sales service is prompt but not qualified (sigh). I forgive them because they have sooner or later to atone for their sins.
    I was referring to the forum because the most qualified people who knows where to put hands are the guys like me, and better then me, the one who spend hours to get to the service who has been promised .....(sigh again).
    So, I do not accept (respectfully) Your approach.
    Anyone who likes to co-operate telling me what about latest July the 28th firmware ?

Not the full downloaded messenger but the one you can access when in your mail on yahoo. It opened fine but now it won't close, even though I hit sign out again and again. I have tried force quite, uninstalling and reinstalling and still every time I sign into yahoo on firefox there is my messenger list open.

  • 5th Gen iPod won't sync using new iTunes and new Firmware

    I updated the iTunes software and firmware for my iPod, and I was excited about how cool it looked. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. It synchronized once. Since then, it hasn't worked. iTunes just freezes up and the "Do Not Disconnect Screen" never goes away. It will just sit there for hours doing nothing and telling me that it is updating, when it fact it is doing nothing. I have even gone through all of the steps of reseting, re-installing, and reformatting it. It still won't sync, but now I have the pleasure of having a 6-month old 60 gig blank hard drive. Has anyone else experienced syncing problems? Any ideas on how I can get this to work again?

    I am having the same problem. The difference is that mine was syncing and then suddenly it won't sync anymore. Hope someone answers your question.

  • When I try installing Firefox 6.0 from the binary file, a box with "Run As" in the type field appears, which asks me for user name and password. Please advise about the course of action that I should take.

    Trying to run it as the current user, or as one from a different account(administrator in this case) also doesn't work.

    I think the client is not able to do a HTTP POST
    to the WLS server but it can do a HTTP GET.
    I dont know why.

    Hi,
    I deployed a rpc web service using WLS 7.0 SP2 in HP-UX 11 environment.When I
    invoke the web service through my browser (IE 6.0) using the web servicesurl,
    it brings my service method correctly. From there, if I click the invokebutton
    it asks me for a network user name and password under "weblogic" realm???If I
    provide the admin user credentials (which I supplied while creating mydomain)
    it is not accepting that it keeps popping up this network user passwordwindow
    over and over. Not sure which username/password I have to provide here tosee
    the result of my service.
    If I try to invoke the web service through my client (static) I am gettinga connection
    refused exception. I guess either way, I am not able to access my webservice.
    In the attached file, I have cut and pasted the client stack trace as wellas
    the server log trace from weblogic.
    Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • IPhoto '11 very slow and unresponsive - unusable, please advise!

    I am having some problems with iPhoto '11. When I try to scroll through the image thumbnails, it often stops with a spinning beachball then I have to wait 10-20 seconds for it to catch up.
    Also when I hit space to bring up the full image from a thumbnail, it appears then I get a spinning beachball and have to wait 20-30 seconds, after which the multi-image-scroller at the bottom appears and everything is responsive again.
    When I look in Activity Monitor I can see that iPhoto is maxing out the CPUs (one of them at a time, it seems).
    Together these two issues mean that it is unusable.
    As to the possible cause, I have two theories
    1) It could be a recent iPhoto 11 update I installed
    2) It could be because I recently imported a large number of photos (an extra 50Gb) which may have taken my iPhoto Library above some maximum threshold. (Does anyone know if there is a recommended maximum size?).
    My iPhoto Library contains 80,000 photos (some of which are actually videos) and takes up about 300Gb. It is located on my external 750Gb Iomega drive, connected via USB (I don't have room on the hard drive for the library). I did not experience these issues a few days ago, and I had about 250Gb library/72,000 photos then.
    Having read the forums it seems that I may need to do one of the following
    - Split the library into smaller libraries (which would be a pain, but might allow me to be productive again)
    - Figure out a way to get the library on a faster drive... perhaps upgrading my internal drive to a larger one or SSD and put it on there
    - Wait for Apple to improve performance of iPhoto
    - Revert back to iPhoto '09
    - Find an alternative product that can manage large libraries better... Is Aperture any good? Are there other good products?
    - Some other solution I don't know about.
    Since there are many possible ways forward I would appreciate some advice, anything you think would help, as well as any suggestions and/or officially supported methods.
    Thanks in advance
    Alex Bowyer

    Thank you for your reply.
    I tried deleting the cache files and it made no difference.
    I'd already waited for the new Faces to be scanned.
    However, I found your response in another thread suggesting rebuilding using iPhoto Library Manager to create a new library.
    I did this, and it took over 48 hours to complete but it did the job nicely. It ported everything across - images, keywords, albums, even faces. It also found 13Gb of duplicate photos I didn't know about!
    The only thing I had to do was recreate my smart albums.
    But now my new iPhoto Library runs smoothly and I can work again! Awesome!
    Thanks.

    Well. You say you want to insert a node as a child of another node, and it needs to be inserted before a certain other child node.
    There's an insertBefore() method in the Node interface. Use that.
    And if you thought that was a challenging issue then you might as well give up writing DOM code right now.

  • New MBP- Please Advise

    Hi. I was thinking of getting a new MBP with all the upgrades, and than someone gave me a suggestion. The idea was that instead of an MBP, get a MacBook and an iMac. This way, I have a nice desktop to use, and a laptop for portability. I would create a VPN to the iMac, and also use ACTS, since it is faster than VNC (my internet is 12/2, so its a pretty solid connection).
    I will be going to college in one and a half years, so that is an important factor. I currently have a PowerBook (specs in my profile info, look at bottom of post), which runs Dreamweaver. Fireworks, and Flash pretty decently for the system. I would need those, plus Photoshop and Illustrator, and the other not so intensive apps, like iWork. I'm not big on video editing, but I do want to learn Cocoa and work in Xcode. The portable system I get now will probably be the system I take to college. Anything I absolutely need that won't run on my MB, I will use through ACTS to my iMac, but that selection should be limited, if it even exists.
    As for gaming, I do once in a while (I'm not a huge gamer), and the games I would put on the MB aren't that graphics intensive. I would use the iMac for most of my games anyways.
    This setup is only a few hundred dollars more, which seems like a lot, but I am getting 2 systems, one (MB) a little under the MBP and the iMac, which would be equal to or better (spec-wise). I need a system to carry around, but I also like a system I can always have on, but it's not neccesary. Any, and all, systems I get will have a copy of Windows 2008 Server Enterprise Edition installed, only because that is what I have for Windows. Not actually using for a server. I plan on having 4GB of RAM on both systems if I go with that setup, and a VM may be used once in a while for testing (also use Parallels to boot from BootCamp partition when just need Windows for something quick.)
    Comments? Suggestions? Thanks, it's much appreciated.

    my advice would be to upgrade the ram in your current laptop, keep it and get a mac pro. i only started using my laptop now that I am traveling a lot, but in college, i barely use my laptop, and mainly stick to my desktop. the mac pro is FAST, and that way, you can upgrade if you need it, whereas with the imac and macbook, both will be obsolete in 2 years. mainly youre probably going to use the laptop for note taking, if even that. everything else, you'
    ll probably do on the desktop, and car run anything you need remotely. the way i see it is its better to have one really fast computer, instead of 2 "regular" ones, which will be mediocre by the time you get to college. snow leopard will help in taking advantage of multiple cores, and by the time you go to college everything will probably be at least quad core.
    if you give us your budget, i can recommend more, but from experience of mine in the past couple of years, once in college, the most i used a laptop for was watching movies when not in my room and maybe looking up homework PSets and notes, nothing really intensive.

Maybe you are looking for
