N86 Shutter problem

Hi, I'm having a problem with the inner camera shutter on my N86. When I open the outer shutter, the camera software starts but the inner mechanical shutter doesn't open. I can even take a picture of the inside of it!
Does anyone else have this problem and does anyone know a way round it? Thanks

I also have this problem.
It's a strange one and annoying too.
What I have found is that if you open the lens cover and the camera function activates, but the shutter does not, activate the video function from the onscreen menu, then back to stills mode and it opens!  Failing that, shut lens cover, close camera app and start again.
I have not tried a hard reset.  It does not seem like a software issue, I could be wrong, but a sticky shutter?
Also, does anyone else have the issue where the gps does not automatically turn itself off after geo tagging when you finally get to take a picture.  Then the next thing you know,  your battery is flat!!!

  • N86 Web problems can't scroll down

    I am hoping someone might be able to help me. I have an N86 and just upgraded the firmware to the newest release. I am having a problem with the web. It will not allow me to scroll down past a text input box. For example I tried to go to T-mobile.com and I can scroll down to the search box part of the page but can not get past that part whether or not I enter a search word. The cursor gets stuck in the search box even though I did not click on it to enter a search word. It was the same before updating the firmware. Anyone have any ideas? Does anyone also know if it's possible for me to get the web program from my N96 and install it on my N86? The N96 web is so much better than the N86's. The N96's web browser gives you the option to shrink the entire page or to zoom in on the page. It also has autofind for phone numbers, email addresses etc. The N86's web doesn't have anything like that, it's horrible.

    Here's an option before taking your bb apart.  Squirt some Windex on a paper towel. Not much, say less than your thumbprint. Wrap it around your thumb.  Scroll left, right, up and down for 30 seconds or so each direction.  The cleaner coats the trackball .... the friction cleans the underlying elements.  Hey, I'm not joking. Worked for me.  Patent pending.  (NOW, I'm joking!)  Hope this helps someone.

  • N86 apps problem

    Hi, I have a strange problem with applications that use internet in my nokia n86 to say first of all you always connect to wifi since I have no data rate.
    The problem is that applications like Skype, WhatsApp, windows live messenger, when I leave in the background and I close the phone or when I'm not use x time become inactive, ie, stop working, ie I leave it connected to the messenger a while and it is impossible for me to get messages from my contacts, I have to restart the application, another thing I've seen today whats app is that if I leave it unused time and I want to write messages and not send, I have to restart the program and internet connection.
    I hope you can help me but I guess that will be something rare.
    Sorry for my english.

  • Major N86 connection problems

    I'm on the 3 Network and have  just upgraded to a N86 8mp but am having a huge problem connecting to my the BBC iplayer - you choose a progamme and click start - it goes to real player and the message 'connecting' comes up but it fails everytime. The message comes up 'failed to connect' after  a minute or two.
    Also I can't download anything from the OVI store.  I went straight to the QIK website to download that but I add in my username and password but it wont connect. The pop up asking what connection i want pops up everytime even when i continually click '3'
    I've also tried to download Gravity (twitter application) but that gives a 'connection' failed message as well.
    Am I doing something very obviously wrong? Any tips would be gratefully recieved! cheers

    my nokia n86 keeps asking me every 20 second to select a connection it pop ups a windows asking to select a connection how i can get rid of this pop up window can anyone help??

  • N86 8mp problems

    any ideas?

    yep it should not be this way in this case. did you update your firmare to the latest relese v11? if you have not done so, it might be a good idea to give it a go. also you might want to consider reinstalling current firmware and see what happens. make sure you have a back up of your stuff prior to update/reinstall. here are some things you can also try aside from updating your phone. try #2 and see how this works for you. 
     1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
    Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345
    2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)
    3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
    hard reset - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. )
    If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance. 
    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....

  • IPhone 4 shutter problem- intermittent

    Hi
    About two weeks ago I posted about this problem. However there is a new factor to the problem.  I have noticed the problem is very much intermittent. The camera does not work for hours and no matter what I do does not bring it back on ie. hard and soft resets. Using iTunes for a full back up does not bring it on.  Then suddenly the camera is working perfectly for a few hours until the problem comes back.
    The actual problem is the shutter does not open or sometimes the screen is black.
    I'm not sure what the problem is. The fact that the problem is so intermittent confuses me

    I also have this problem. for me it started the day after i picked up the phone. I have had the phone for a total of 4 days now. I did a restore from my 3GS to migrate data to the 4 and noticed the camera was not working, just as you describe. The front camera is fine but the back camera sometimes works just fine or sometimes just really dark images. It also happens in video mode to me as well.
    when the camera is letting in the proper amount of light and then decides not to work properly... it is usually exemplified by displaying a normal image and then what seems like a wipe transition to a very dark image. only the brightest spots are even barely visible. almost like it thinks it is being pointed at the sun and it is closing down.
    To give this perspective, when the camera is malfunctioning, i can point it at a 65 watt lightbulb and that was still barely lit in the picture. i am not exaggerating.
    So thinking it was something that happened during the migration of phones, i restored the iphone 4 a total of 2 separate times and the issue goes away for a day or so then returns. I am afraid that it is a software issue and if i get another phone it will be the same thing until apple figures out what is going on. Also the problem is intermittent and a reboot of the phone usually fixes the problem for a few times using and then back to crazy dark photos and videos. The only evidence i have when everything is working are the dark purple pictures stored on the phone.
    any advice would be great.. that is aside from getting a replacement..

  • N82 camera shutter problem

    As the subject states i have a problem of camera shutter. Even if the shutter is off the lights of camera key/gallery/volume-up/down is on. And when the camera application is opened when the shutter is closed the main camera is activated. If i manually open/close the shutter then there is no effect on the camera activation/deactivation.
    I resetted my phone, done every sort of thing to reinstate except for the software update but with no success
    Anyone here to solve my problem?
    Please thank me by giving 'KUDOS' star. It will help me to serve you better.
    Currently using N82 and 5230. Next would be N?

    Wouldn't have come back here. But thought that if any user faces this problem can have some help!
    I reinstalled the firmware and now it is working perfectly fine.
    Any idea what could have happen wrong? (surely there could be user who knows answer of this question )

  • N86 GPS problem

    I have a problem with GPS on Nokia N86:
    It has a huge problem to get a connection with sattelities. It is not a Ovi Maps fault because I  have checked it with other applications. Even if it connect with sattelites, it works inaccurately and keeps breaking the conection. The software is up to date. It made a test with Nokia LD-3W via bluetooth and it works perfect. Is it possible that integrated GPS is broken? Does anybody knows the solution?

    Hi Folks,
    I also got a N86 a few days ago and well, I also have that GPS problem.
    The strange thing is, I installed Sygic 7.x and he navigation was working without problems, 3 times no problem to get a quick gps fix.
    But as for me Sygic is **bleep** I decided to switch over to Garmin Mobile XT which I liked on the 5800.
    From that time I experiance problems with a gps fiy, sometimes it works within a minute, sometimes I wait 30 minutes without any fix.
    During that time I'm outside and A-GPS is switched on.
    It's the same if I just try the Nokia tools like OVI-Maps, or just GPS informations.....no fix, so it's not a Garmin problem.
    I'm not sure if that is an issue which will be fixed with a firmware update, but I hope so very much!
    I'm thinking of getting it to a Nokia Service point to complain about it....will see...
    As far it does not look like anybody has a solution for that problem....damnit

  • N86 contact problem

    I've just donated my N86 to my mother. I inserted the sim card and saved her contacts to the phone, which was all fine. But now when anyone from her phonebook calls her, only the number appears on the screen rather than the name. I've tried deleting a few numbers and re-inputting them manually, but the name still does not appear when the phone rings.
    I can't find anything about this in the manual and the name has always appeared automaticly when any of my contacts has phoned in the past.
    Any help would be very welcome.

    First make sure you have a backup of all the contacts
    then delete all contacts from the SIM card
    the name of the contact should now show up
    this sometimes happens when the number exist both on SIM memory and phone memory, even if only one memory is displayed. This should not happen, but sometimes does anyway
