Hi All,
I have an E71, (0569371, Ver 100.07.76, Rm 357), that has Maps 2. I have read on this discussion board that Nokia updates the maps data approximately 4 times per year. As maps 2 is older than maps 3, does anyone know whether Nokia still regularly updates Maps 2.? Their doing so would allow me to keep Maps 2 but stil have it current. Thanks in advance.
E71 supports Ovi Maps with free satnav so why don't you upgrade your Nokia maps to Ovi Maps?http://maps.nokia.com/services-and-apps/ovi-maps/free-downloads?intc=ncomexpserv-fw-ilc-lft-con-na-n...

Dropped N900 and now get 'operation temporarily di...

After dropping my new N900 I now get the above message and am unable to open any application or read/send SMS. I have tried to reflash the device but have been unable to reflash the image as I keep getting 'Suitable USB device not found, waiting.'
Does anyone out there have any tips on how to recover my device? Thanks.

It does seem a bit strange that an impact would break such a solid state component.. however, it isn't damaged according to the debug log, it is missing
Bad sectors, or failing performance shouldn't stop the device from appearing in the log.. even if the device could not be read.. but the fact it is completely missing shows something much more serious is going on
Reformatting really means wiping the filesystem, it doesnt' do anything more complicated than writing a file does (from the point of view of the hardware) its not like in the old days of low level formatting disks.. If the emmc isn't visible, it can't be written to.. and the fact flasher-3.5 is throwing erorrs kind of backs up the fact it is completely gone..
****BUT****
I've seen a few devices on this forum alone that have suffered various degrees of emmc faultyness
/t5/Maemo-Devices/no-song-or-videos-in-mediaplayer/td-p/674185/jump-to/first-unread-message
In that thread, the user (cooldoctor) had experienced file system problems.. much like bad sectors on a regular hard drive.. although he was able to reflash, the problems did not go away and now he faces the daunting task of sending it back to Nokia... in a different country!
I can't find the other thread, but was practically the same.. the emmc was suffering continuous read errors that prevented the device from working at all..
There are similar threads over at talk.maemo.org
So, even if the device has been dropped, that might not have directly caused the problem.. it could've been waiting to happen

Refurbished Iphone 4 Cheaper Than The New One? Why?

I'm just confused as to why a refurbished iphone 4 is cheaper than a regular brand new new one when they can perform the same things. What makes a brand new iphone 4 stand out from a refurbished iphone 4? I' might to get a refurbished iphone from ebay (link below)

As to the "iPhone 5 test", that's a total scam. Congratulations: you've just signed yourself up for all sorts of spam as well as possible indentity theft. Apple never, repeat never, recruits testers for their hardware by some anonymous and random email. They don't use people from the general public to test new hardware at all, but if they ever wanted to contact you would do so directly.
Probably time to get a new email address, as your current mailbox is probably going to get hammered with spam now. And if you were really foolish and gave them your home and cellphone numbers and address, you're going to get marketing calls and all sorts of junkmail.

I just bought a macbook pro which worked amazingly the first few days. But now it runs worse than my old computers. How can I fix this?

I've barely had it for a week and its starting to run slow. Wepages take forever to load and its impossible top watch any videos online. I am connected wirelessly. My other much older laptop is working fine on this connection and for a few days my Macbook Pro was lightning fast. Now it runs slower than my 3 year old laptop. Also some videos tend to get choppy when I move the mouse. The audio, however, continues uninterrupted. The laptop also started taking some time to shut down. I bought this open-box from Bestbuy. And right now Im realizing that this is actually a Macbook Pro Mid 2010 after looking up the specs which is strange as the box it was in says 2012.
Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 288 MB
Software OS X Lion 10.7.3
Macbook HD: 731.83 GB free out of 749.3 GB.
Could the problem be that this is a 2010 laptop? I can still return it as its been a week.
I've cleared the cache, cookies, and history but it has little effect on the way videos and pages load.

Where did you buy this laptop? I know if I opened a box expecing and having paid for a 2012 model and found a 2010 model, I'd be back at the store demanding an exchange quicker than you could imagine. Open box or not, if you thought you were buying a 2012 model, you should get what you paid for.

If you have reached the limit of 5, then deauthorize all and authorize the active computers:

Why is kindle books cheaper than buying on iPad

Why is kindle books cheaper than buying on Apple iPad,I've just checked it out and it's a £1.00 difference it may not seem a lot but if your buying all the time like I do it could work out deer.

I seriously doubt that seeing as how this is a user to users forum that is not frequented by either Apple or Kindle.

File Recovery Software - Cheaper than Subrosasoft?

Is there any software for recovering accidentally deleted files that is cheaper than subrosasoft.com ($80)?
Or demo software with a fully functional demo period (that lets you save what you've found)?
Or ideally shareware/freeware!

Data Rescue II has a demo. It will only allow you to save one file no bigger than 500k. It cost more though for a full working version.

N97 Mini any better than N97?

I've been offered a N97 Mini as a replacement of my design flawed N97. Nokia has not been able to address my issues in due time. I've had all the usual stuff; software issues (hangs, reboots, out of memory), no lock or bad reception on GPS and severe halos on camera. The camera is still a mess after Nokia applied "the scratch fix" and is unusable when the flash has been used.
I know the N97 Mini has less memory, no FM-transimtter, etc. But is the N97 Mini free of the N97 issues or should try to get a refund in money instead?
Helsinki, N97 White gone to recycling, now trying N97Mini...

The mini tends to have less issues as phone memory C is larger so doesn't run out of memory as quick and freeze, if you want an expert opinion look here

Why is the Spanish language version cheaper than English version?

I was going to purchase the next book in the series The Elite and stumbled upon the Spanish version. Well if I learned Spanish apparently I would be saving money on all my book purchases. It is 2 dollars cheaper than the English version. I am curious why?

You will have to ask the publisher, they set the prices, nobody here would know.

The problem isn't solved after the restore, shall I bring my phone to the AppStore? Will they give me a new one? Or I should pay for that. Warranty is until December 2013;)

...Apple seem to command their retailers to somehow not discount their products
Doing this would be seriously illegal and could attract a large fine. It's more likely that retailers mostly see no reason to undercut Apple on a product which is in much demand. 16GB is the maximum available, and indeed the only configuration for this model. (The 13 inch ones come with 8GB which you can upgrade to 16GB but only at the time of purchase - it's not possible to upgrade later as the RAM is soldered onto the motherboard.)

Why is Plusnet cheaper than BT

So why is plusnet cheaper than what BT is offering it's own customers?

However, if you are a BT broadband customer and don't commit to BT broadband for another 12 months then you will pay £6.75 for BT Sport SD on a Sky box, though I think it's still £0.00 on a BT TV box. Plusnet don't seem to require any broadband commitment in order to get their deal.
So I guess for those who are using a Sky box and don't want to negotiate a new broadband contract with BT (or renew an existing one) BT Sport could be slightly more expensive on BT than on Plusnet. The cheapest option though is to commit to BT broadband for 12 months and get BT Sport for £0.00.

Are we Beta testing the N97 for Nokia?

Because if i was given this as a beta release i would have told them what i thought, the current launch version on the N97 with V10 firmware is barely an Alpha release, this phone was a rush job thrown out on the market to coincide with the launch of the iphone 3Gs.
This is my fourth N series, N80, N95, N95 8gb (the best N series yet), and now this N97 what should be Nokia's flagship, but being stripped of apps and filled with Trial versions to please the accountants at Nokia.
Day one and it locked up twice, corrupted my contacts when synced with OVI, and ran down to less than 4mb on the C drive, day 2 i found the GPS was not working, it was a joke, walking down the road under a clear sky and it could not hold a signal lock, driving was worse barely holding a signal for a few seconds and as for sitting spinning it round for an age to get the compass to work........forget it id rather be lost than look like a **bleep**.
Deleting apps and reinstalling them on the mass memory frees up some space, but why should we have to do this, the whole phone is badly thought out and configured.
Soon after the stylus supplied with the phone and attached to the phones only tie point scratched my screen, what was wrong with a rear cover with a bump and a thin PDA style stylus, no not good enough for Nokia, a fat thing on a string will do for them.
New Firmware release 4 days after UK launch and still not available to most users as it has not been network approved yet, 3 network say its Nokia's job and they are delaying things, Nokia say its the networks delay. Come on if it was needed that quickly why leave most of your customers waiting, or just get to work on a layered OS with a standardised core with a network layer, so everyone can have the updated without waiting.
4 weeks in on this phone, i too have the scratched camera lens, still No working GPS, and having some good negotiations with Three to try to reverse the contact upgrade, as i don't think another N97 will last any longer than this one.
I see Nokia spending Millions on punting the N97, TV, Billboards, Net adds, why push so hard on what is a sub standard product, could you imagine Joe public trying to free off some memory by moving apps, tell the care centres to brace themselves the N97 flood will be coming their way.
What next, well if 3 don't cancel the upgrade, then Nokia will have to fix my phone again and again and again untill it works as advertised, in the mean time i am off to get in touch with watchdog so they can let Joe Public know what to expect from an N97.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I don't believe we're beta testing the N97 for Nokia. Beta testing suggests it is in a state prior to production. Nokia's track record (at least to me) seems that leading edge phones never reach a stable plateau.
What I believe happens is the phone is released and remains unstable until they sort of perfect the platform, then a new handset is released bringing a whole new world of bugs and problems and so the cycle continues.
By the time the phone is suitable for every day use it is, by today's technological stance, ancient and the damage has already been done to the reputation.
S40 phones seem to fare much better, mainly because it is much more widely used within Nokia. S60 is up against some fine competition from vendors who will rush fixes out.. Nokia only ever seems to rush phones out. It isn't the same and it shows (see their forcast for the next 6 months)
I honestly would not be surprised if this flagship phone limps on in a partially functional state until it is superceeded by a budget blackberry clone.
Sad? Very! Am I being cynical, or telling it like it is.
I'd be real interested to know if any exec at Nokia used the N97 in the weeks before it was released.. Not that I'm a fan, but we all know Stevie J used an iphone long before it was released.. I kind of get the impression they must all use very basic "corporate" s40 handsets and assume their flagship product must be of the same calibre.
Next release, why not give 100 people N97 for testing, real testing. It seems Nokias quality assurance team is out of touch with what a $700 handset demands.. ooooh, I gasp in awe at your 30 MB of free capactity when you remove ALL the applications you can. (It's like having a 2TB hard drive in a computer and continuing to boot from a floppy)
I appreciate there are product time lines to meet, but if Nokia were aiming to compete with the likes of the pre, iphone and the various android handsets (not even mentioning windows mobile) rushing out a phone like this was very wide of the mark. Concept wise, the N97 is a great design.. the implementation of both the hardware and software just isn't going to cut it in todays market..
(but this is what they want? you'll get bored with the handset and buy a replacement! yeay!)

I have just downloaded that installer (on Windows 7, using Pale Moon), and the download completed within less than 10 seconds. And I am some 10,000km away from the Adobe download servers.
Can you try a different browser?
Can you download anything to your computer, e.g. from Microsoft?

Since a recent trip to Mexico, Safari and other browsers are now being taken over or manipulated by other web sites. I installed adblock and the situation is getting worse. What to do?

Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.
