N80 Bluetooth Fix Yet?

Anybody have any news from Nokia about the long awaited fix for the N80 bluetooth problems?

Patc, I'm with you, and understand your frustration. I'm sure that the tech boffins in Nokia are beavouring away trying to sort the problems out, but suspect that the vast majority of resources are allocated to new phone development not fixing existing phones.
Sister bliss - You are quite right we should give Nokia every chance to sort it out, but they should at least let us know that they accept that there is a problem and are working on a fix, rather than the sloping shoulder syndrome we are all experiencing. If you have a look at some of the older threads here and on other GSM / 3G forums these issues are not days, but months old. This is not acceptable.
In pure legal terms there is a strong case for legal action. I presume that you have heard of the Trade Descriptions Act and the Sale of Goods and Services Act. They both relate to goods being fit for purpose and being accuurately described. In the case of the N80 Blutooth does not work as per the official bluetooth standard specification and the battery life is not even close to the advertised figures. Of course this is not practical and fortunately the UK does not, yet, operate under the same litigious culture that has thrived in the US, so it is unlikley that any case would make it to court, but as patc pointed out it might encourage Nokia senior managment to reallocate resources to resolve problems with existing phones more quickly. I believe this was the point of patc comment.
Rufao - have you checked this particular forum or done a google search for either "N80 GPS" or "N80 bluetooth", your eyes may be opened. Route 66 works on Symbian S60 v3, and it works on the N80. It is not useable on the N80 because the N80 is prone to disconnect from the GPS reciever every few minutes. This afflicts the Navicore software as well. It is a Nokia problem not a route 66 or any other 3rd party developer problem. In actual fact, due to the lack of apparent action from Nokia, it is our problem.
I'm prepared to wait as long as I know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
ps Apologies for my spelling, but boiling blood (at Nokia) and writing forum posts whilst at work don't contribute to great grammar !!!!

  • I can't connect my I-Phone 6 to my car Bluetooth, any fixes yet?

    I can't connect my I-Phone 6 to my car Bluetooth, any fixes yet? I just updated with the new update this morning. My I-Phone 5s had no problem connecting to car Bluetooth.

    Hi Denisefromjoetowm,
    When you attempt to connect your iPhone 6 to your car via Bluetooth, how far does it get?
    Glad you updated your iPhone.  There are other things to test for, see:

  • Phantom restarts / crashes with Maverick. Restore Disk Utility, disk can't be repaired says "live system repair is not supported" Is there a fix yet? Or is Maverick "FREE" because Apple no longer offers free phone support?

    Phantom restarts / crashes with Maverick. Under restore Disk Utility, disk can't be repaired says "live system repair is not supported" Is there a fix yet? Or is Maverick "FREE" because Apple no longer offers free phone support?

    Get onto the integrated iOS + Mac OS and end support for "legacy" Mac 10.8 and earlier.
    Force older hardware users like me to upgrade to new hardware which is where $$ are.
    Make apps work across tablets, phone, and computer with similar (though not the "same" app, but able to read and use the same file format).
    Simplify.
    I don't think anyone incl. Microsoft knew Windows 8.1 was going to be a free upgrade, I didn't and read that it would be more like $30.
    No OS is ready for everyone on the day it is launched. iOS 7 is now 7.04 and climbing, Mac OS tends to really not be ready until the last patch and version is out, often a year or more after it was first issued. Ship it, then plan to fix the bugs left in or that surface.
    www.macperformanceguide.com is saying "No" to Maverick for now. Of course there will be no "No" on new Mac Pro 2013 6,1 when those ship (Late Jan? )

  • Any Fixes Yet?

    I have some very expensive (to me) foreign language training CDs that worked fine on my old imac but won't run on my intel based Macbook Pro. I understand that there is a difference between OS Classic and the Rosetta based system. Do you have any insight on newly developed software that will allow reformatting or reading the old CDs. I hate to have to go through the expense of replacing them...almost cheaper to but a PC just to run the apps.

    Any Fixes Yet?
    Sorry, but applications that require Mac OS 9, or Classic, will not run an Intel Mac.
    This is not something that is likely to change.

  • Are the problems with Compressor's encoding fixed yet?

    Sorry for the slightly vague title but I only use compressor once a year basically, which is after the production of a Christmas show I produce. Last year I upgraded ot Final Cut Studio to do the DVD and got caught out. I encoded using what I thought was the best setting (2 pass variable bit rate) and got jittery encoding. After investigating on this very forum, I found lots of comments about known problems with Compressor's encoding in this setting and ended up re encoding using one pass which was "ok".
    I'd rather do the best job I can so the basic question is, "is it fixed yet". Keeping in mind I understand about altering settings so that I can get the time I need onto one disc (110 minutes unfortunately!) What setting will offer me the best possible picture quality, regardless of encoding time, with compressor? Many, many thaks for any advice you regular user can offer!!
    Happy Christmas in advance, Gareth

  • Is the ironic lack of fullscreen in iPhoto 11 fixed yet?

    Hey there - when it first came out it looked like Apple had removed full-screen editing from iPhoto 11 - is that fixed yet? I'm talking about the ability in iPhoto 9 to go to a full screen view where you can hide tool pallettes? Thanks!

    If you're still in the book mode you can try using the Undo command: Command+Z.  If you're left the book mode I'm not sure you can use it. 
    If you have TM copy of the library just before you deleted the photos from the pages bring that entire library back.  It will have the book in it.  To do so go to you Pictures folder and then enter Time Machine.  Go back to the time just before the deletion took place, select the library and restore.

    Keep Both copies of the library as the current library may have photos that the backup doesn't.

  • Render local PHP files... any fix yet?

    So, I read numerous posts on this topic - but they all have been "archived" and cannot be replied to?? I think it is still very important and wonder, does that mean it is dealt with or still a know, ongoing issue I just missed the answer to??
    This thread most similarly matches my issue and themost detailed: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=978104
    I use Dreamweaver 8 and Safari 2.0.1 on a 10.4.2 System. As others have noted, when I go to drop a PHP file onto Safari, it just renders the source code. But, if I drop it on IE or Opera or FF it renders as expected.
    Yes, I have turned on Web Sharing in the System Preferences. Yes, I have turned on PHP (using this simple article http://www.phpmac.com/articles.php?view=225) and verified it by puttng a php file into my "Sites" folder and it renders fine in Safari that way. But, neither have been a solution. Nor is using other lesser supported browsers and what-not as I need to develope for Safari and have 30 or so sites I manage with a local system already in place that worked just fine in 10.3 and Safari from 10.3 - so moving all my stuff to my "Sites" is a no go. And, I believe I read it still is an issue in 10.4.7 - so updating the system is not the answer either.
    It is very bothersome to not be able to view my PHP files locally on Safari and have to have to put them on the server to view/test them as that was not the case under Safari under 10.3. The only other way to view them in Safari I have found is by using the Preview feature in Dreamweaver 8 (which no one else mentioned in other threads), BUT if there is a text link (like a 'click here' navigation link) in the page to another PHP file and you click said link, you jut get the source code for that next page as if you dropped the file on Safari. That is weird in itself that through Dreamweaver 8 it makes a Temp file of the PHP file and loads that in Safari just fine!!!! but to actually drop or load the actual PHP file (not the created Temp file).... nothing but source code.
    So, any status on this? Still a lingering issue? I wondered if the stop in posting to the topic means people just accepted the bug (I find that hard to believe), or it was fixed (by a hack or by Apple) and I missed it someplace? It does not seem to be a PHP issue (as some reports said initially) as othr browsers on the same system can render the files when dropped on them, but an actual issue with how Safari deals with PHP files now - when it handeled them just fine in 10.3.

    Please read the link to the previous closed thread in my first post as it explains it pretty clearly. It is all about a file with extension .php versus .html.
    but I will recap again here:
    I am very clear that Safari cannot run server side script locally. That is not the issue as that is a given.
    "What I am expecting Safari to do" - and what all developers are expecting Safari to do when it encounters a local PHP file (a file with extension .php versus .html) is to render the HTML and display the page - not the source code. who wants to see the source code when trying to preview the layout and look and feel of a page.
    again, in old 10.3 if you dropped a PHP file (file with .php extension) onto Safari, the file would display the HTML portion just fine and show the resulting webpage - and not process the PHP within the code naturally as it cannot being local and not off a server - but now in 10.4 if you drop a PHP file (file with .php extension) onto Safari it just shows you the source code. IF you chnage that exact files extension to .html it renders fine, chnage it back to .php and nothing but source code.
    this is a know glitch and covered in the first linked thread in depth..... I am more looking at this point to see if anyone is aware of a fix yet??

  • Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

    Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

    Try booting in Safe Mode by holding the the shift key immediately after powering on your system. Safe boot mode will for a directory check of your startup volume, then load only the required kernal extensions (kext files), and deletes some cache files. Once the system boots into Safe Mode you can simply restart the system to see whether the issue has been resolved.
    If you still have the issue try resetting the SMC by shutting down the system and disconnecting the power cord for ~15 seconds, then reconnecting the power cord. Next, reset the parameter RAM (PRAM) by holding down the option-option-P-R keys after powering ON the system. Wait until the iMac restarts twice, then let the system boot normally.

    Is there a fix yet for the loss of battery power after updating to Lion? I've done the cmd-opt-shift restart and it didn't help.  This problem has gone beyond annoying now - it is absolutely maddening!    What is Apple's official response????

  • Itunes 10.5 and up using 100% CPU. Has anyone found a sure fix yet?

    I have tried reinstalling everything in different order several times. The winsock... command worked for maybe a week but now it doesn't and I had to fix some of my firewall/internet safety software after doing so. Like many others I'm running Win 7 64bit. problem started after the 10.5 update. I've been searching the internet and forums and haven't seen a sure fix yet.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if the problem has been resolved.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Wifi connectivity issues iPad 2.. Any fixes yet?

    I have issues keeping a connection to my home network.  No, I don't have an airport router (just in case that comes up).  My iPad connects, but loses signal strength, even though I'm only a few feet away from the router, and sometimes just disconnects altogether.  I'm wondering if anyone knows of a fix yet.  I noticed there are quite a few users having similar troubles, but haven't seen anyone actually ask or receive concrete feedback regarding a fix.

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • HT201210 is the io.7 been fixed yet, with the battery life dying on the iphone,

    has the iphone battery life been fixed yet, since the io.7 been added to the phone

    I'm not having any problems with IOS7 on my Iphone 5.
    I think it's a lot to do with the settings you have turned on.  One big draw is the Background App Refresh.

  • Update fixed yet?

    I havent even attempted to do my update yet because of all the problems. Is it fixed yet? Im dreading it. I have a feeling it will not go smoothly. Am I wrong?

    Just don't touch it until it is fully done..after activation will look like it wants you to make some choices, but don't just sit there, it will disconnect and reconnect on own then restore from backup on it's own...just don't touch it. You will know when it is done as you will be seeing it reconnect to computer and show you the screen with tabs that you know and love with the new tab for applications.
