N85 RDS radio problem

There are some RDS stations in my area, the signal level is quite strong so I rarely need to switch frequency, but don't know why the phone will mute for few seconds every minute, I think it is switching to other frequency, but I still see the same frequency after the mute, and the signal is very strong before the mute, so there is no need to switch frequency. Beside that, in rare occassion the phone will completely mute, nothing on the earphone and the speaker, I've the volume at max but still nothing, I must restart the FM radio to enable the sound again, this also happen on my N95 without RDS. I know there is a protection built in the phone, whenever the earphone is bad contact the audio will be muted to protect the phone, this protection also on the N70 which the Pop-port is known to problematic, overall I feel the FM radio is quite week on this phone, much lower in sensitivity compare to previous models.

I've to take back my comment on the RDS auto scan, the FM radio still mute occasionally even when the signal is perfect, I don't see the reason to scan for alternative frequency, but I no longer rely on this radio, it has weaker reception than average FM radio build in with the bluetooth handsfree set.

5800 radio problem

i have firmware 40.0.005 installed on my 5800. While playing radio all of a sudden radio stops responding. I can kill the radio application but have to restart the phone everytime. Otherwise radio doesnot work. I have tried different headphones but the problem is not solved

Go to Solution.

I found a funny solution for this. But ıt is working. Thisis the things what I did:
Restart my 5800.
Open Bluetooth.
Connect to the Nokia suit.
After that open my radio on 5800.
Setup the frequency to the radio which ı know have RDS. POWER FM 102.95
and it worked.
My radio still running with RDS and no problem with phone.
I know it is not best way but now we just have this. Also this mean this radio problem is software based and I think nokia has the solution but waiting. For what???
! Photos from working RDS Radio And freeze Radio.

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.

Curve 8300 Radio Problems

For the past week I have been having radio problems with my 8300. The area I live is not great for service but I had another Blackberry user bring their phone to my house today and they were getting almost full service. I have already updated my software to the 4.5v. The phone is just over a year old, does anyone have any advice on wether this is my phone or maybe the SIM card. I do not want to buy a new phone usless I absolutely have too. Because of the area I live in, my phone radio does work a little harder since it can go be constantly searching if I do not put the phone in the right place, with one finger up my nose ;-) if you know what I mean. How annoying!!!
Thank you...

Was the other user on the SAME carrier as you?
There is nothing wrong with getting a SIM swap on your SIM from your carrier. They will do that for free... just explain the issue of low coverage and that it was recommended you swap SIMs.

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!

            Hi imissmn,
The details from Ann154 are pretty good ways to begin. You can check if the iPhone 5 is compatible by checking the car manufacture's website. You can also provide us with the car make, model and year along with the bluetooth technology (is the manufacture makes more than one). We want to confirm your device details so please let us know as quick as can be.
Thank you,

N78 Visual Radio problem - stops for 5 secs then r...

Good evening,
My Nokia N78 is showing some strange behavior lately.
When I listen to Visual Radio after about 2-3 mins of playback the sound completely stops for about 5 seconds then it starts again.
Any idea about what is causing this problem? Is it software or hardware related?
I have v30.011 RM-235.
Thank you.

I have concluded that AppleTV has some proprietary air interface/DNS issues. But I have found two fixes.
1. Deploy an Apple Airport (Express) Access Point (AP) and use that it to connect both the the ATV and your IOS device. Whatever proprietary protocol WiFi issues exist with AppleTV, they are fixed when you use an Apple AP.
2. Hardwire the AppleTV using its Ethernet port. (Preferably use a fixed IP address vs DHCP). If the ATV is too far from your router to connect via a cable try using a D-Link (DHP-302) HPNA unit that uses the house electrical wiring create an ethernet LAN. (about $70). If you have Bell Canada's brilliant wireless Fibe TV service then your are in luck. There is an ethernet port at the back of each (Motorlola 2502) Set Top Box. Plug in your ATV and all will be fine.(hats off to CC)

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!

Pandora Radio problem on 3G iphone 2.0

I d/l the Pandora radio app yesterday and it played fine for awhile. Then last night up until today everytime I try to listen to it, the songs will play for like 4 seconds, then cutout for a second, then come back in and play for another 4 seconds before this repeats over and over again. Its like a skipping record. The phone is on wi-fi or 3G during this time so I dont know what the problem would be. Should I delete the app and then reinstall it or wont that help? Anyone have this problem too???

Well, it doesnt show that an update is available for it, when I downloaded it yesterday for the 1st time it said it was the version 1.1, the most current. Should I re-download it or something?
I like AOL radio too, I just like Pandora to listen to certain bands that never seem to play on AOL radio...

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

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?

Nokia Lumia 1020 + Sony Xperia Z1

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!
