N96 offline - can't get it back online!

Hi all - my N96 (had it about 2 months) keeps doing some annoying things:
-randomly it will come up Insert Sim and require restarting
-it will turn itself off
and the killer one
-when I restart it, it comes up frequently in Offline Mode.
Sometimes I can restart it again and get an option to continue Offline or Online, so I can select Online and use it again as normal. There is not always this prompt...this time, it's Offline and staying that way. I have restarted about 10 times now and I can't get it to come Online again. Is there an option somewhere in the phone that I can't find?
I updated the firmware when I first got it but find the thing ridiculously slow, who should wait minutes to open a text message? Am seriously tempted to take it back in case it's a dud - or are these common problems?
When I wanted the phone at my upgrade, the person dealing with my upgrade warned me off the phone saying they were almost 100% faulty...but reading here, some people seem to not have the problems that I do!
Thanks in advance for your help re: my various questions!

 Not all N96 behave like this-certainly mine does not. However, there might be something wrong with your SIM card. I had an similar issue in a previous phone and it turned out to be the SIM card-it does not recognise it and it goes offilne. Other than that, try to change the settings so you can save sms to phone memory not mass memory- this helped some people..

  • TS1307 my "outgoing Mail server is offline and I can't get it back online

    I can send  and receive emails from my iphone, ipad and online mac account, but can not send emails on my mail from my macbook, it stopped working suddenly a few weeks ago and says all my outgoing smtp's are offline, how do i get them back online?

    Thanks so much for the quick response.
    I did repair permissions and tried Mail again, then decided to double check the Mail Prefs of my MB Pro (where Mail works fine) and the iMac (G5 I think?).  And do I feel stupid:  the outgoing mail server on the iMac was smtp.mac.com whereas the server on the MB Pro was smtp.me.com!  So I changed that and now Mail can be sent from the iMac.
    Thanks so much, I love these forums.  Whenever I have a problem, I check the forums first!

  • Wireless printer is offline and I can't get it back online

    I have a HP Envy 700-414 Desktop PC operating with Windows 8.1 (64-bit) system that was connected wirelessly to a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer.  It worked fine for the first couple of days.  Now it says that my printer is offline.  I've tried several troubleshooting tips, but none have worked.  How can I get my printer ONLINE again?? Please help!  Getting frustrated!!

    Hello,
    Thanks for the post.  I might recommend checking this document below to address the offline messages.  We may just have some stubborn print jobs in queue that have not printed that need to be cleared.  Good Luck!

  • My Mac tells me my printer is "offline." How can I get it back online?

    I have my HP deskjet printer on my home network via Airport Express. My main router is an Airport extreme. I attempted to print from my Macbook but got a message that my printer was "offline." I could print from my iMac. I attempted to fix the problem with my Macbook by following advice I got here in discussions by deleting the printer with the intention of re-adding it. Could not figure out how to re-add it. Later, when attempting to print again from my iMac, I get the offline message again. Help is appreciated!

    Give yourself a star, I found the web page that says your printer is no longer supported by HP. BUT it is supported under Gutenprint, I found it on their list. I would install their driver and see if that corrects your problem.  Here's their page
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/index.php
    I don't know how old your printer is but I suppose we can't expect HP to support them forever huh? If you still have problems maybe we can figure a way to get old drivers that work and install them.

  • I have a Desk Jet 3050. How can I get it back online?

    The product is HP Desk Jet 3050 , I operate on Windows 7. Printer is saying not connected to wireless. My local cable company had internet issues and the printer worked fine before. Everything BUT the wireless printer worked normal after the issue was repaired by cable company. I have tried the HP scan doctor download. It comes back as saying the printer has no power. Which it clearly does. I have powered everything off then repowered. Nothing happened. The test report states Network Name::FAIL. I do not know how to fix this problem. Any suggestion will be helpful!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    On the front of the printer, go to the Wireless menu and Restore Defaults.
    Go to Start > Control Panel > Devices and printers and delete all instances of the printer.
    Now, go to Start > All Programs > HP > [your printer model] > Printer Setup and Software.

  • My college has informed me that firefox 7 is not compatable with their online classes and I must go back to firefox 6 but you down load of 6 will not let me it is trying to force me to upgrade to 7 how can I get 6 back?

    My school (Highline Community College) as advised me that firefox 7 will not allow people to use the (Angel) online e-mail system. I need to stay in contact with my teachers. They said don't get firefox 7 but I already have it. They said go back to firefox 6 which they even provide a link for but when you upload it it says this is an old system click here to get 7. I already have 7 and know it will not work. How can I get 6 back.

    I have the same problem. It was literally snuck in as a simple update and suddenly I couldn't upload any of my assignments. You can get rid of 7 by going to control panel and removing the Mozilla file. then look for the FF 6 upload. I warn you though. It REALLY wants to be 7. Don't allow any updates to happen or you will be in the same position.
    I like Firefox and it is truly disappointing that they would force this situation. My nest step is back to IE 8 which wants to be 9. Arghh!

    Nothing you can do but physically look for it.  If it's offline it can't be tracked.

  • I deleted icloud from my mac - how can I get it back?

    Hi!
    I was clearing my computer of things I didn't need and at that point I didn't need iCloud. I was stupid enough to delete it and now I can't get it back. What do I do? I haven't found it to download so I'm stuck. I've got the account on the website but I can't get my iCloud to connect between my computer and my iPhone. Please help!

    Thanks for your answer Roger but I do believe I have 10.6.8.
    I still think that I have erased it because I know that I had it in some form just a while ago. But so, if I'm totaly wrong, what can I do to have iCloud on my computer?
    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
      and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
      You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Ok this is bizzare!
    Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
    So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
    AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
    I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

    You must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.(10.9/Mavericks is the only download avaiable now without specially calling Apple).
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.

  • HT4191 I deleted notes on my mac but did not want them deleted from iPhone but after synching they are all done. Can I get them back?

    I deleted notes on my mac but did not want them deleted from iPhone but after synching they are all done. Can I get them back?

    Deleting on one device does not affect another device.
    You can delete the App's on the iPhone and nothing will happen to the ones on the iPad.
    1.  You don't need to.
    2.  Settings->Cellular->"Use Cellular Data For" will show the data usage for each App since the last statistics reset
    3.  Settings->General->Background App Refresh Will show which Apps are allowed to get data in the background
    4.  It restricts it to Wifi.  If the App requires internet access and Data is turned off, it will have to wait until the device is connected to a wifi network.
    5.  Nope, You just use up battery since the BT radio will continuously look for nearby BT devices.
    6.  The Personal Hotspot uses your cellular internet connection from your phone or other cellular device; whether you consider that secure or not I cannot say.  It also depends on what you are doing while connected to the Hotel's wifi. I would not do online banking while on vacation though.

  • IPhone has just randomly erased all of my texts messages,can I get them back?Ask your question.

    iPhone had just randomly erased all of my texts,can I get these back?

    You are correct, they do keep a record of texts sent and received and subscribers can access this information themselves using their online account.
    They do do keep the content of text messages at all just like they do not keep copies of phone conversations. If the text message is deleted from the sending and receiving instrument it is gone. Getting a court order for the content of text messages from a provider would be a worthless endeavor as it is well known that information is not available.
    If a text message has not been successfully delivered the system will continue to try to send it by accessing the senders device and resending the message; you are right they are not from cosmic radiation or echoes from the moon, they are from the device that sent the message.
