N81 8GB problem

When I try to delete a contact from the phone book of the N81 8GB, there's a message states: "Not enough memory to perform this function, please delete some data first". Anyone has any idea what's the phone "saying"?

It's saying that one of its memories is low.
It could be the phone memory. You can check this by opening the file manager and select Options -> Memory Details
It could be the RAM. You can't easily check this one although there are a lot of third party apps. that will allow you to read the amount of free RAM., to free up some RAM, reboot the phone and don't start any applications. Select Default Theme, don't load a wallpaper and don't have applications that run in the background as sys apps.
I guess it could also be the mass memory although I doubt it. You can also check the amount of free memory from the File Manager or the Memory app.
640K Should be enough for everybody

N81 8gb problem : white screen

when updating google earth application by net my N81 8GB had problem : when i start it, after nokia logo is shown, the screen become white and nothing else!!!!!
please help me

Try a hard 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!

N81 8gb Software Update problems (bad!)

hi i have an N81 8gb phone, great phone but now, its as good as a paper weight, heres whats goin on, the 1st time i updated the software everything was fine and the update went smooth after a few months of use and heavy download (i mean 8GB! a lot of **bleep**) i decided to reinstall the software and start clean slate, so midway into the update the phone just froze and the status bar wasnt moving, and i thought to myself 11 mins seems forever, scary! after an hour i decided to just push some buttons just maybe to "wake up " the phone, but to no avail, man, i was like ok, so i pulled the plug and took out the battery and when i restarted my computer and clicked on the update program, it said i have to reinstall the SOftware and what not. but the problem is everytime it reaches 11 mins left it would spit out an error message saying phone connection lost, then i would have to do it again, after 5 days of trying to update, still the same. 11 mins to me now is a nightmare. PLease help or advise,
Solved!

hi,
can you try this:
1) Remove the battery, and then wait for about 20 min or so before putting it back
2) Press and hold these three keys together -Green dial key, Star key[*], Three key [3]
3) switch ON the phone.
4) Do not let go the three keys until you see the WELCOME screen displayed and just let it complete the boot process
if that doesnt help you at all, you better run to the nearest nokia care point

Solved!

Where are you trying it? Because it does not work in all menus. Try the Media Menu. If it does not work there, then it's not good...

Nokia N81(8GB) Alarm Problem

Hi all,
I have recently updated my N81(8GB) to the latest firmware version i.e. V 21.0.008 and alongwith other minor issues I am facing a rather annoying problem. The problem is that when I set an alarm and turn off the mobile the Alarm sounds at that particular time but when I choose the option snooze it wont sound after the snooze period is over It'll only sound again when I Switch the mobile on. I just wanted to know whether this is happening with every other person who updated their N81 to this firmware version or is this glitch unique to me. Eagerly waiting for reply as the Alarm functionality is a commonly used feature and it should not go wrong.
Regards,
Umair

Hi again!
I found a way to make my 6110 Navigator (S60 3rd) change the date on weekend also i use alarm on workday!!!
Let it not call a fix let it call a trick to manage this s60 3rd prob.
On the 6110 you can set more then one alarm...
I use one alarm on workday - wake me up at 6.45 in the morning on workay.
I programmed a second alarm for EVERY DAY (7 a week ) starting at 8.00 in the evening (cause this is a time the alarm doesnt disturb me).
Cause of the second alarm / since i set it - the date change works absolutely reliable.
Hope i could help out.

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.

N81 8GB Messaging problem

Hi there - Have a problem messaging on my N81 8GB I have too many messages and the phone is saying that the mass memory is being used by the messaging service so I can't send any text messages at all additionally anyone know how to backup the messages from N81 8GB to a mac?

Use your Nokia PC Suite. It has a Backup manager, or if that is not enough for you, open your 'File Manager', look around, and store SMS'es you need not want anymore on another location (of your harddrive).

N81 8GB MAIN MENU PROBLEM!!! HELP PLS!!!!

I've had the nokia n81 8gb for 1year + now and just last night after transferring data from my computer the main menu got all messed up, all the folders were gone and the applications were all over the place on the main menu, the only folders left is this "Demo" folder and the "Tools" folder.
Pls help me fix this
Thanks in advance

Try these steps one by one:
1. Take out your battery and SIM after turning off your device. Put everything back in after 5- 10 minutes and turn on the phone.
2. Restore Factory settings: Type *#7780# at the standby screen.
3. Format phone memory (WARNING: This might result in loss of data in the phone memory, so back up the contents in your phone memory using PC Suite before you proceed): Type *#7370# at the standby screen.
Note that the default lock code for Steps 2 and 3 is 12345 unless you've changed it at any point.
Hope this helps. Good luck

Nokia N81 8gb Screen goes crazy

ok so i buaght my Nokia N81 like in january last year and ive been using it quiet regularly....
Until today... I slid the phones slider to reveal the keys to write a text message, when the screen went crazy with funky colours and such lines and random things on the screen. If i slide it up and down while its like this it changes its effects and stuff as if its something to do with the contacts of the slider and the screen. If i let the screen black out into powersaver it returns normal but if i slide it again to close the phone or open it back up it goes nuts again.
i tried leaving the battery out but no use.
LOTS OF HELP please ?
i was thinking a factory reset ??

Hi! I have the same problem as well! And this is the SECOND time this is happening! The first time I took it back to my SP, and they then replaced it with a brand new handset; that was 10 months after using my phone for the first time. Now, 8 months after receiving my brand new handset, I have the same problem again!
What was very strange to me, before it first happened, was that my slider became REALLY tight and difficult to manouevre, so I slid the screen up and down as it felt like there was something obstructing the slider, and out came a clear piece of sticky plastic film... I took no note of it, until the same thing happened to me about 2 weeks before my phone went wonky again.The funny thing is, my fiancé has the 2gb phone, and he seems to have no trouble at all with his handset, and he's now had his phone for more than a year (that's longer than I've had both of my handset before going crazy), so I'm thinking it must be a problem with the N81 8gb models. Now I need to take the phone back AGAIN, which I'm not very happy about... I don't want to have to take my phone back, or repair it, every 8 to 10 months... It's a waste of my time AND money.
Oh, and another thing... when they replaced my handset, I asked them what the problem was with my phone, and they said that they didn't know, but that they couldn't fix it! SERIOUSLY?! So now how exactly will I get to repair my phone if the Nokia technicians can't even find the problem NOR fix it?! I've basically spent ALL this money on a phone that only works for a few months until it's irrepairably broken... I don't think I'll be using another Nokia after this again...

How to delete a corrupt software from your N81 8GB

Hello all.
I'm new to this and i was just wondering if anyone could help me.
I need to delete or remove a corrupt software on my N81 8GB.
The problem is that nothing is working and i don't want to format my mass memory.
Though if formatting is my only resort how can i back up my mass memory and keep my data safe?
Any other way to remove it?
Anything is appreciated
Thanks in advance

Download Nokia PCSuite 7.1.18.0 and Nokia Software Updater 1.4.85 from Nokia site, then install NPCS first. Connect phone. Then NSU. After that make a memory backup, first on your memory card, next by Content copier from NPCS. After this Open NSU and follow commands.
But after backup memory you can try to soft reset by dialing *#7370# this reformat your phone and restor software as from factory, but with latest software, if you updated.

Generally. However SW upgrade on N82 allows to keep user data. Where your videos were stored? MM card?

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....

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!
