N81 8GB and N-Gage Aplication/Download! Bug

Hello all,
I'm pretty sure someone else experienced this bug. I tried it in several N81's with different firmware versions. I tried lately with the new version v20.0.056 but it still has the same bug.
Everytime you download something directly to your phone (using download for upgrading nokia maps or using n-gage aplication to download new games), even thou you choose download destination and installation destiation to your 8GB hard drive, a part of your internal memory "goes away". N81 8GB only has 17MB free memory (apart from hard drive), which is very small for such a recent phone, other phones released around the same time (late 2007) have around 60's and 120's MB's.
If you try to upgrade nokia maps through download! and install couple n-gage games, your internal memory goes under 1MB, which causes great instability on the phone performance. Only way to fix it is format your internal memory (using *#7370#) but your nokia maps goes to v1.2 again.
I really hope you can reproduce this bug and fix it. Its really anoying having wireless in a phone but you can't use it to "tweak" your phone due to memory issues.
Hope this information is helpfull to improving next N81 firmware version, regards,
Rodolfo Rangel

Well, the most cool feature is the animated menu, with fades, similiar to N78 and 6220c. The rest i didn't notice much, n-gage already coems installed and Navi Wheel still doesnt work very good (expectable thou, since it was the first phone to have it).
My N81 is still mainly for music, the rest i'm not using much. The music player has been stable since the 1st FW version and i gotta say, it rocks using with BH-604 =D
By the way, updating your N81 doesnt delete your phone information (at least in most cases ), just backup your information in case your phone doesn't start up after the update.
Best regards,

N81 8GB and maps: internal memory lost!!!!

My brand new N81 8GB has 16MB of free internal memory and somewhat 8GB of free external memory (where internal memory in the phone memory [C drive] and external memory is the memory card [E drive]).
The N81 comes preinstalled with the Nokia Maps software, but no maps are pre-loaded.
According to NOKIA, to upload maps on the N81 you need [STEP 1] first to update the Nokia Maps software ON THE PHONE and [STEP 2] then install and run the Nokia Maps Loader from the computer.
The problem that is reported here has nothing to do with [STEP 2] (which works fine and correctly uploads maps on the N81 external memory) but happens already at [STEP 1].
So, starting with an N81 with 16MB of free internal memory, I connect it to the pc in PC SUITE MODE and I install the Nokia Maps software update, and after installation the phone internal memory goes down to 8MB!!!!!!!!!
So, by simply updating the Nokia Maps software (not even the maps) 8MB of internal memory are lost.
I have tried anything to gain back those 8MB, but could not find any solution. I have even tried with X-plore looking into every single hidden and system folder: nothing!!!!!!!!!
The only way was to do a hard reset of the phone and reinstall all software (or a backup, if you have one).
By the way, the Nokia Maps Loader uploads the maps on the phone even if you do not do the Nokia Maps software update.

Same here, but with a non-8GB N81, and it's internal memory is at 1.3MB!

Everybody with N81 8gb and Firmware 21.0.008

Yesterday I restore my nokia with default settings and what to see. All, or that i know about, bugs are disappear. When start GPS there isn't System Error. And my sound is like it back powerfull.
I don't know but I hope that will work with you.
Try...
Interesting is that one or two week after this firmware was out, nokia removed 21.0.008 and return to 11.0.045.
I don't know but I'm pleased to see my phone work properly.

For sure, the multitouch is not yet implemented, even in the V30 firmware.
Quickoffice should be in the Office folder, but the V21 has an old version, the new one is on the V30.

Hi everyone,
I have had my Nokia N81 8GB for over three months know and for the last three weeks I haven't been able to send text messages.
I get the follwoing error when I check the details on the error : - "Unable to send message: number of person sending to". If I click on detail I get the following error "General: Memory Full. Close some applications and try again."
What's really stupid is that I have 6 and a half gb free memory and also there is only one application running which is the music player (it cant be turned off of closed from the application list).
I sent it back to nokia and they flashed the phone to it's original settings. I restored the phone to it's original state and I still get the error message.
I have checked the message centre number with 02 and also I have got the latest software from Nokia rthrough the software updater.
ANY ONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING? I NEED HELP AS I HAVE UNLIMITED TEXT AND I CAN'T USE THEM!!
I have an o2 N81 8GB and am equally concerned about memory. I'm just trying to see how full it gets before I get to this situation.
memory in use: 16mb
9334 free memory
with messages at 533kb - I've got about 660 messages at the moment.
I've installed fring and opera to the memory card.
Was this one of the N81s that came with FIFA 2008? Scrubbing using *#7370# and then not installing the sis file will clear about 4gb by my reckoning.
If you've downloaded Nokia Maps 2, the sis file sits on the phone memory - i've not found how to remove it yet.
Don't forget to clear the cache after web browsing

N81 8GB can there be another memory card working w...

....................................................i wanna know becuz i wanna buy a n81 8GB and thinking of putting another memory card? Is the 8GB hard drive or a memory card. And is there any Wi-Fi?And is the screen bigger than N72? And one of my friends is saying that there is a problem with the buttons(the numbers) like they are messed up and when he puts it in his pocket the button get pressed.
Nokia N72

the 8gig is internal memory (hard drive) and you don't have a slot for another memory card...only the new n96 has that accessibilty and it has 16 gig internal hard drive...the screen is quite big...and the keys are not a problem 4 me....

N81 8gb music problem

hey guys! i have an n81 8gb and is less than a month old..
my problem is, my music player hangs after quite sometime of playing songs.. after 10-15 mins,, the song will just suddenly stop,, and my phone hangs after that.. i thought of having my phone memory reformatted,, i did.. then after a while, i thought my problem was already resolved. but to my surprise, after, i think, more or less half an hour or so, i was faced with the same problem again. the music suddenly stops, and my phone hung and after few minutes,, it will automatically restart.
please help me out, i already installed the latest firmware here in my phone,, v 11.0.045 couple of days before the first hang up happened. hours before i experienced this music stopping, my phone incidentally dropped, so i dont know if that is the reason.. if that is, then why is it that my music player is the only one having a problem? i also thought that it could be another application installed in my phone,, but i already reformatted it and uninstalled the applications i installed before this happened.
i hope someone will reply and help me out with this.. thanks in advance.

Hi,
I had other problems when i upgraded the firmware, the phone's keypad wouldn't lock when slid down, the phone doesn't change to the PC suite, data mode, or print mode & all. Its like it got a mind of its own & will work depending on its mood, just 2 days back my phone suddenly started working fine. i had installed lots of 3rd party application on it but i am sure that the problem have started only after i have upgraded my phone with the new firmware, because the problem only started after the upgrade.
This wasn't the 1st, i had 5300 previously which also stared acting weirdly after the firmware upgrade (the mini USB spotted working after the phone's restarted on completion of the upgrade). When I took it to the Nokia service station they kept it with them for 1 month & later replicated it with a new one after writing serval mails & Branch Managers for weeks.
That was one of the most worst experience i had with Nokia ever.
I think its best to leave the phone with the firmware it comes with.
I spoke to the Nokia Support here in India & all they had to say is that they are sorry if the phone has gone bad due to the firmware upgrade.

I think the OP means the network unlocking code so that the phone can be used on networks other than the one that provided it in the first place.
I do believe that it is indeed the case that 3 failed attempts to enter the code does result in the phone being locked, meaning a trip to a Nokia care point to have it re-flashed, but don't quote me on that. I'm not 100% sure.

N-Gage on Nokia N81-8gb.

Hi,
I have got an original N81-8gb (RM-179) the one that came with a demo version of the n-gage application before its first release. (Or pre version 1 of the n-gage 2 if you see what I mean). I have had no problems with it (or the device) until I came to update the n-gage client to the latest version. Unfortunately the client fails to install (regardless of how I get the installer on the device) with an error about it being a"built-in component" which I suppose it was when i first had the device, but I was able to install the first full release version.
I'm running the latest firmware 21.0.10 (Or something like that, its reported as being up to date with the Software Updater) and Have tried uninstalled everything and even reset the phone to factory defaults all to no avail. As a side note I also cannot even uninstall the n-gage application as it doesn't appear in the AppManager and pressing the 'c' key on the icon to delete also fails.
Does anyone have any ideas as the customer care email address is completely useless as they don't seem to bother reading your email and only tell you to...
1) Install the latest firmware (I already am)
2) Install the n-gage app (I can't thats the problem)
3) Reflash your n95 (I don't own one)
4) Goto 1.
I just hope that someone else has had this problem and can help. Thanks in advance.
- Skavenger.

Do a hard reset, and then try again to install the n gage application into your phone.
Hard reset (the three key code/reset). Turn off the phone. Press and hold three keys together, the green/talk 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/nokia boot up screen.Warning!You will lose ALL your phone's data/files!

N81 8GB blue flash lens and very poor picture qual...

Hello.
I have purchased the N81 8GB yesterday and have two enquirees regarding the camera and the lans. The flash len's is tinted blue which make's taking photos with it, appear as an overall cool tint has been applied to the picture. I have searched the internet to find to why it is blue to no avail. Is this normal?
[IMG]http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm143/technofreak23/blueflash.jpg[/IMG]
Secondly, the 2MP camera quality is appaling. I have seen many test shot's taken with the phone however nowhere have I seen such poor image quality. I am thinking an firmware update might fix this issue. Currently the phone has FW 11.0.045 installed and I am told via Software updater that the FW is up to date, however an quick internet search reveal's that the newest firmware is in the 20x range. (Region setting perhaps?)
Please enlighten me reagrding the previous enquirees.

And what kind of a question is that. I brought it from an nokia representative.
Ill try to take it to nokia care centre.
Hmm it is very hard to justiify If I have scratched the len's or what not. Can you verify is the len's of suck phones as this one mentioned can be scratched easily with an fingernail? If not then it might be the protective film which somehow is challanging to remove (providing the phone has any)
