N85 FM Transmitter problem

Hi my N85 doesn't have any FM Transmitter options on it.

right but where did you get your phone from? if the phone was bought online or some other retailer, they could have sold you a unit that was meant for a region that does not allow it. it does not matter if they allow it in your coutnry, it matters where you got it. what is your product code? usually starts with 05.....
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

N85 FM transmitter inactive

Hello,
At first, sorry for my english, I'm french ;-)
I have a problem with my nokia N85 FM transmitter.
When I want activate my FM transmitter I clik yes on the keypad and the status rest at off.
With my first N85 i had no problem with FM transmitter, it worked perfectly.
But now, it's impossible to activate the FM transmitter, the status rest always at off. I have reinstall the firmawre (v11), hard reset, origin configuration, change frequency, but nothing change, it's impossible to activate.
So please help me.
Thx

The FM aerial is in the battery cover, which can become a bit dusty and dirty.
Try cleaning the contacts (see picture) with the tiniest amount of vodka and a hard pencil eraser - une gomme, n'est-ce pas? I knew my school French would come in useful one day!

Nokia N85 so many problems but no responce from No...

I’ve now read lots of complains concerning the N85; loose slider, rebooting, video recording is hopeless and so on. I’ve have for now 12 days been the owner of two N85, and I’m sorry to say, that I agree with the mentions complains. I’ve Nokia fan for years and had own about 8 differenced Nokias and none have been so defective. And worse - no response from Nokia.
I can only recommend not to buy a N85.

Name these supposed Nokia phones that you had that have not had as many problems.
No one here says that the N85 is without problems. It has a few. Your slider issue is well relative. On my N85, my friend thinks my slider is great, as do I but I like the slider on his more, so your statement about the loose slider is more opinionated than fact. The other things are software related and if you know anything about embedded software development (it appears you do not. I could be wrong though), it takes time to write the code, put it on a ROM and test it. It is not a 5 minute fix and in this case I would rather Nokia take a month to fix it right than to rush it and have certain people come back and post that Nokia issued a **bleep** patch. You surely catch my drift. It is quite simple. Look to the upper right hand corner of your web browser, hit the Contact Us button and let fly your screed. I am sure they will hang on to every word you say. But for the time being, give it a rest. We all get it, over and over and over. My N85 has issues that I want addressed but filling up a forum with the same kind of posts is not going to make Nokia work any faster.
P.S. Please name these phones you have had that have no major issues (hardware does not count) related to software (this is easy to fix). By the way, I have had almost every major Nokia device produced, to include the original Communicator. Mine was production model 102, so I have quite a bit of experience with Nokia products.
Your recommendation not to buy an N85 is falling on deaf ears because currently here in Finland and elsewhere, the N85 is doing quite well.

My 4-year old AirPort Extreme intermittently drops out (no signal to my iMac Book). The laptop shows reception of other nearby Wi-Fi transmitters, but not mine. I have changed the bands, but the problem comes back. Transmitter problem or interference?

My 4-year old AirPort Extreme intermittently drops out (no signal to my iMac Book). My hard-wired iMac still has internet capability. The laptop shows reception of other nearby Wi-Fi transmitters, but not mine. I have changed the bands back and forth, but the problem comes back. How can I check if it is a transmitter problem or interference?

Let me see if I can suggest a strategy.
I have talked with my ISP and he said that I am not the only one with an Airport Extreme with the same issue. He said to try to write the DNS direclty, rather than using the Auto settings - still nothing works.
What modem do you have and what sort of broadband?
What mode is the AE in.. router or bridge?
I have an Airport Express from 2010. Since about a month and definetly since yesterday, I cannot connect any device via Wifi to it although LAN connection works correctly.
Is this express or extreme.. the rest of the post you refer to extreme.
What is the actual model number of the AE? A1xxx from the base or the part number MCxxx from the box.
If the AE is bridge.. I want you to try a different method.. put it in router mode.. don't worry about double NAT but ensure the IP range of the modem /router is different to the AE.. so if one is 192.168.x.x then the AE on default at 10.x.x.x is fine.. if the main router is 10.x then move the AE to 192.168.x.x
Make sure the guest wireless is off.
Using a 5.6 utility on your 10.6.8 OS mini go to the log and see if the wireless is registering..
You should see lists of wireless connection like..
Post as many screenshots of the setup as you can.. it helps loads.
IPv6 is starting to become a pain.. try it off and try local link and try auto.. in the computer.

Nokia N85, and my problems with the Nokia N96

Hi there,
First of all, i have both phones (after buying the n85, because of issues with the N96), when i go to send a large file from the n96 to the n85 via bluetooth, it wont allow it as it says not enough memory, it seems that you can only send, what free memory your phones internal system has, im deeply confused as the video im sending is over 88mb, and was passed down from my previous nokias without any problems whats so ever, any ideas anybody??????
Secondly i feel a fool, as i bought like i said the n85 because of the problems with the and i quote" flagship model n96".... well, i can honestly say, ive wasted my money, because after installing the newest firmware 11 on it, it has since been running like a dream, albeit like it should have done last month, but i musnt grumble, now i need to decide which one to put on an auction site.
ps the n96 was bought with 3 network, the other from an auction site, both work fantastically well with the 3 network.
ashton

Hi, beg to differ, I would sell the 96. The 85 is far better,OLED screen; a battery that lasts for days not hours; FM transmitter for when you are in your mates car who doesn't have a bluetooth radio; it breathes!!! is sleeker and of course it has a lens cover, for crying out loud why didn't they fit one to the 96!

N 97 FM Transmitter PROBLEM WITH CHARGER / QUALITY...

Helllo. got my RM 505 FW 11 with several problems concerning the built-in FM Transmitter.
When used under UMTS 3G EPLUS with LCG Jukebox 2.41 the Transmit Power seems to Low.
I tested it with freq. 88.30 , 88.60 ,96.00 and 107.00 for example.
Always i got crackling noise and interferences .
But when i plug my Nokia USB Charger to the Device , FM Transmitting is nearly impossible.
to the point the batteries recharging the amount of FM send power is very low. but when i plug off the charger ,
the quality is much better , but far away from a good result. i noticed that whenever i touch phones metal frame , the quality rises , but when i left phone alone quality falls down to hell.
i compared it with my nokia N86 8MP but there is NO problem with or without connectet USB Charger so
i guess maybe it is a hardware fault of my device ?????
Could anyone be so kind and check his N97 with and without USB Charger in car while transmitting MP3 to radio ??
Thx a Lot !
Thom.

N85 Music player problem

Hi Appreciate your help here. I've loaded quite a few albums to my N85 using Win media player 11. The problem is that some tracked in some albums appear twice!! If I do nothing they also play twice. If I erase one of the double tracks the other one gets corrupted. Meaning it will not play and will not erase. I tried powering the unit down, removing the SD card powering up and inserting the card and nothing. By the way when I connect the N85 to the Win media player the corrupted file does not even appear. This is a very annoying problem because it happened once to ALL my files and I needed to master reset the unit.Please help.Ami
Solved!

N85 - Video Playback problem

Occasionally my N85 will stop being able to play any sort of video. Unlike other known issues with similar names, it does not freeze part-way through a video.
When the problem is active, any attempt to play a video with any app (camera, RealPlayer, Gallery browser) results in no sound and a black screen/RealPlayer logo. The video counts down as if it is playing.
It seems to be caused by
a) Installing a video application (YouTube, BBC iPlayer etc)
b) copying a video onto the phone using the video manager.
Obviously "b" is more of a problem.
I have so far been able to work around this by restoring the phone to factory defaults whenever it happens, but this is not really ideal. It takes a few minutes every time, and longer to restore my customizations. I was hoping this would be fixed in the recent firmware update, but no such luck.
Any thoughts?

you should post this to N85 issues and feed back.. N85 having alot alot of bugs... u can see more other major bugs

N86 8mp Radio Transmitter problem

Hello I have an N86 which I've been using since 2 month ago and now suddenly the Fm Transmitter wont transmit music.
I can only get Nokia prodcasted on my radio but no sound of the music!
Please help I've sent it to repair and they returned it and saying they fixed it, but the same problem!

Thank you, but i have found the solution. This might be good for many n86 users!
There are two metal points at the top of thebattery input inside when you open the back cover. When connected to each other through the back cover wiring it acts as a signal producer, you may see the wire obviouse on the back of plastic cover when removed from the back, It looks like a thin metal sorrounding with two copper ends.
The solution is when changing your n86 cover REMEBER TO KEEP THE BACK COVER FROM THE ORIGINAL CASE OR REPLACE WITH OFFICIAL NOKIA BACK COVER FOR THE PHONE!
hope it helps
Its a shame how they couldnt figure it out at i2 nokia here in jordan

N85 video recording problem

hi, I´ve got a serious problem with my N85. When I try to record a video in high-TV-quality(to my microSD card) it starts to lag extremely after about 8 sec., same problem with normal TV-quality after 30 sek..
Another interesting part is that after I stop the recording the video is saving for about 10 sec.!(even if the video is only 1 sec. long)
It works fine if I save videos to internal memory! My 8GB card is original and only 45% filled (so about 3.6GB free)
But now the interesting Part: It worked fine before(with the same SD card), the video didn´t lag and it was saved in about 1 sec. I didn´t add anything to my phone, so what could be the problem??
thanks for your help

I´ve testet the problem for a few weeks now and I noticed something. the video stuttering is gone when I delete older videos(they have to be older than 4 days), after i do that I can record a video up to a length of 10 min(or even longer, if I had time to try) but after 1 video the effect is gone, even if I delete the just recordet video. I also experienced that deleting a good video(non-stuttering) takes a lot less time than to delete a lagging one.
to sapporobaby: it sure is the way date is being written to the card, cause it is working if I record to phone memory, but I didn´t buy a Nseries device to capture videos with only 2 min. length.
Furthermore this problem is not listet in the changelog for the new SW
can anyone help me?

You could try to hard format the phone. Keep in mind this procedure will completely erase all your phone's contents (3rd party apps, settings, wifi access points, contacts, themes, web bookmarks, etc), so first you will need to backup the phone using Nokia PC Suite.
Here's how to do it:
Power off the handset, hold * 3 and the Green call button and switch on the phone. keep the keys held until the phone is fully powered up.
It's a bit difficult, precisely because Nokia wants to avoid users accidentally formatting their phones.
Once the phone has been formatted you will need to reinstall NGage (you can download it and install it directly from the phone browser), and possibly some other applications that came with your N85, so I recommend you to first make sure you can get the apps for reinstallation.
I don't know if this will solve the problem but other than the hassle of backing up the info and reinstalling the apps, it's worth a try in case you can not locate the offending 3rd party application.
Good luck!

[N85] USB charging problem

Hello all,
I tried to charge my N85 with an [non-Nokia] USB battery charger (Lenovo 90W Slim AC/DC Combo Adapter) via the Nokia Connectivity Cable (CA-101) to keep down the amount of chargers I have to carry.
But except of asking, which data connection profile I want to use, there is no charging at all.
Am I doing something wrong or is the N85 only chargeable by the original Nokia wall charger?
Thank you
sicut

@sapporaby: Are you sure you have read my post completely? "Apple" is a brand o usb charger that does not work with my Nokia N85. It's a brand like "Kensington", with a usb charger that do work. Both usb charger worked with my old Nokia N95. I just want to know whether someone else has this problem usb charging problems too or if only my problem, and to make know @sicut that he is not the only one with usb charging problems with his Nokia N85 and his Lenovo charger.
@sapporaby, is it "apple" a word taboo for you? Why "kensington" is not taboo? Why "lenovo" is not taboo either?
1. I have had every Mac made since 2003.
2. I am typing this on a Mac now.
3. I have had and still have every iPhone made.
4. Same with every brand iPod.
5. I am running Apple software right now and the Nokia for Mac software.
Is that taboo enough for you? DON'T ASSUME because now your taboo question is moot.
As for your the Apple charger does not work issue, my question still stands. While your Apple charger may have worked with your N95 there is no reason why it should work with your N85. Are they the same phone?. Is the N85 made by Apple? No again. Does the Apple charger supply the same charging voltage as the Nokia charger that came with the phone? These are issues that come into play. What is so hard to use the cable that came with the phone. It seems, and maybe I am wrong but you and the OP are making a mountain out of a moe-hill.
Just use the cable that came with the phone, in the USB port of your computer and be done with it. I am having a very hard time trying to understand what the problem is with using the cable.

the keypad issue is a software bug, that since has been fixed i believe. the only way you can update your handset is when orange actually approves the update. you would have to contact them and ask when and if they are planning to release the update for orange customers. if your phone is locked and branded the only way you can update is through your provider.
