N96 slider problems

N96 was working fine until two weeks ago, hasnt been dropped or damaged so i can only think its the updat of software.
i have reset it and still i have the same problem.
If I slide open to answer calls or messages or use the menu's by opening it as if to use the media player (ie slide down) it works fine. If I slide up i get a blank screen and it takes absolutely ages to get the menu n screen
When a call comes in screen goes blank except for a few lines (top middle) 
really annoying - any help or ideas greatly appreciated.

Oh great, is it a well documented problem ? or just after updating with the new software release?
i take it a reformat won't help then?
I don't think this happened after the firmware updation. I think that it's hardware problem, so you will have to take your phone to a Nokia care point.

    Hi ahmadsimza,
    Welcome to Nokia Forum!
    In addition to what AdrianHughes has said, you can check these settings to set the phone to receive the call upon sliding the slider:
    Menu>Tools>Settings>General>Slide handling>Opening the slide>Answer incoming call 
    Hope this helps. 

  • N96 Memory problem (internal 16GB)

    N96 Memory problem (internal 16GB)
    If I fill the internal memory with more than approx 5gb the phone goes crazy...
    (9,3Gb free)
    Here are a couple of examples
    * The phone becomes alot slower
    * When powering up the phone stops at a white blank screen until * I press the power button again.
    * When starting the music player all buttons associated with the music player(both on phone and handsfree) becomes unresponsive and the only way to stop the music is to remove the battery to turn off the phone.
    Another problem that occasionally occurs even if I have more free space on my memory card is:
    * When using the alarm clock there is a 33% chance that the phone will freeze when I turn it off. The only way to use the phone again is to remove the battery.
    I haven't updated the phone yet because the update isn't available yet in sweden it seems.

    This may be the issue, New content!:
    Scanning for new content (slowness in UI)
    - This is somewhat improved in 11.018 but still:
    - If you've loaded many Pictures, Videos or Music, you may see the device appear to slow down or even become unresponsive. After new content has been added, it is being scanned by the device and being added to the media applications. Until that happens, the new content may not be visible in these applications (e.g. Photos and Video Center application) right away. The phone will need to find the files and create the thumbnails and other details. This information creation takes time and the processing may slow down the device. Your best option is to open Video Center and Photos and leave open in the background then check after a few minutes if the videos and pictures you loaded are already there before using your device.
    The same applies if you insert a memory card with lots of content on it.
    - Do Not leave the Photos or video center in background during this time.

  • N96 screen problem. slider only works in normal po...

    hi, is there an easy fix for this problem? the phone seems to show the correct display when in the "normal" postition or when slid open to reveal the media keys but as soon as you open the slider to reveal the numerical keypad the screen kinda freezes and occasionally shows vertical lines.  occasionally when switched on there is a white screen with vertical lines. *#7370# and *#7780# didn't help. it says s'ware is 11.018 and will not upgrade, is there a newer version? please, no replies saying you have the same trouble or telling me to take it to a nokia service center as that is what i'll do if there's no easy fix!! all i want to know is is it a "slider ribbon" etc. thanks

    It could probably be the ribbon as you mentioned, probably for the screen. A hardware issue needs repairing as you already know. Good luck at the care point.

  • N96 Slider trouble

    my N96's slider s loose at the left corner as i dropped it and the nokia official said that it can be used like that and it wont harm or bring any prob to the mobile...Should i give this to the service compulsorily or can i use it....???????

    it's always better to avoid future problems. take it to a nokia care point , let them fix the slider and ask them to check the phone for any other damage that might've occured due to the drop "internal injuries ". As radical said you will have to pay for any repairs.

  • Web Gallery Scroll Bar Slider Problem

    Hi,
    I'm running Windows XP Professional and Lightroom 1.3.1. I seem to have a problem with the functionality of the sliders in the scroll bars of the web galleries that I make. I use the Flash templates.
    I can drag the slider to move through the thumbnails. But when I click in the open area of the scroll bar to scroll forward or backward a page at a time, nothing happens. That functionality seems to be missing. My cursor will change to a pointed finger when it moves across the slider bar, and the up and down arrows at the ends of the scroll bar. It will not change when I place it in the open area of the scroll bar, indicating that the functionality does not exist.
    This seems very odd and contrary to the global behavior of slider bars in all other applications, including within Lightroom.
    Any idea what's going on and any solutions?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi...
    Please check in your application parameters. Did you declare wdtablenavigation parameter?
    and check table properties like scrollbarvisible always  or none...
    Check this link for application parameters.

  • N96 firmware problems

    hi all, sorry if this has been asked over and over, but any help with this will be great!
    I recently got my 2nd n96 (lol dont ask) and decided to try upgrade the firmware before i fill it with contacts and such,
    I am currently using v 11.018, and have seen at least one more update on from that 12.050? 20?!
    Problem being, NSU doesnt show an update and likewise the nokia site shows no available update for my product code.
    Similarily in device manager the search for updates shows no updates.
    So i am wondering is there a way to change my code, or do i sit and wait for it (doesnt feel like it will ever come to be honest!) or is there a way i can get NSU to recognise my code for a firmware upgrade?
    I am in the UK on Vodaphone and my product code is 0572092

    Try a format *#7370#. All data saved to phone will be erased so make sure that you have backed up all important files

  • 6500 Slide Problems

    Hello,
    I brought a Nokia 6500 Slide about a month ago, about a week ago all the buttons stopped working except for the End Call (red button), so i could only turn it on and off.
    Couple days ago they started to work again, but then i came across another problem. Now everytime i switch the phone on if works fine for a couple seconds then resets to the starting screen and switches itself off.
    The software version is v8.3
    Any help on this please ?
    Regards

    Probably the best advice ever given to me about this particular model phone (Nokia 6500) was from a tech support guy, who i might add was very patient with a new user (yes new, not novice - don't assume i know nothing about phones) he spoke clearly and slowly these words.
    "Ok sir, please give me another number i can contact you on"
    - so i gave him the number of my girlfriends phone -
    -30 seconds later he calls back on the other number -
    "Ok now go ahead and power down (turn off) your phone and allow at least 30 seconds for the power down to finish, now please go ahead and remove the back plate of your phone, now remove your battery and wait a further one minute while we discuss some other features you mentioned earlier" - so he was giving the phone time to go completely dead with no power (battery removed) and kept chatting to me about other features on the phone, while i presume he kept one eye on the clock- after about 3-4 minutes of discussing some other features on the phone, he said "Now go ahead and reassemble the phone, by putting the battery back in and replacing the back plate" -after i had done all this he said- "Now please turn the phone back on and wait at least 2 minutes before touching any other keys" -again he kept me talking about other features on the phone, whilst maintaining one eye on the clock- at the end of it all- "Please reset all your ringtones and personal settings the way you would like them to be" -again he waited on the line while i did this-"Now please if you have any other problems like this, please call us back" and to this day, i have not called them back.
    Listen carefully to what a tech support guy says, follow his/her instructions to the letter and you too can have a trouble free Nokia 6500 like me.
    Occasionally when my phone does this default reset - i feel as though it might be a problem with the interface between the mico SD card and the phone's ability to communicate between the 2. So a simple hard reset as described above almost always fixes the problem. Nokia's source coding would be older then most people who come on these forums - and have no doubt in saying that there may be some slight glitches in this particular release ... but a simple hard reset almost always fixes this particular problem.
    Some programs that run devices are almost mechanical and if they miss a step, have almost no way of reverting back to the previous step, so resetting the phone will take us back to the first step and allow the phone to work it's way through it's own process until the glitch becomes evident again.

  • Timeline Slider Problem

    hello,
    I'm having a problem with my timeline slider everything works great on it until I try and hide it when going to a new page in the flash. There are two pages, a homepage with the timeline and second page with the timeline hidden. When going to the second page I want to have the timeline slide off the document. When I do this it causes the timeline slider tab position to jump back to the beginning of the timeline before sliding off screen. I can't seem to figure out how to preserve the slider tab position before the timeline moves off screen.
    Originally the slider tab of the timeline animates onto screen using a traditional tween after running this as2:
    var enableTicker = false;
    var tickerMc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("tickerMc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
    tickerMc.onEnterFrame = function() {
    if(enableTicker) {
    if((timebutton._x > 35) && (timebutton._x <= 70)) {
    if((_root._currentframe != 46) && (_root._currentframe != 45)) {
    theframe = "frame1920";
    //_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    _root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
    if((timebutton._x > 70) && (timebutton._x <= 140)) {
    if(_root._currentframe != 47) {
    theframe = "frame1930";
    //_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    _root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
    if((timebutton._x > 140) && (timebutton._x <= 208)) {
    if(_root._currentframe != 48) {
    theframe = "frame1940";
    //_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    _root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
    if((timebutton._x > 208) && (timebutton._x <= 275)) {
    if(_root._currentframe != 49) {
    theframe = "frame1950";
    //_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    _root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
    if((timebutton._x > 275) && (timebutton._x <= 345)) {
    if(_root._currentframe != 50) {
    theframe = "frame1960";
    //_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    _root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
    if((timebutton._x > 345) && (timebutton._x <= 413)) {
    if(_root._currentframe != 51) {
    theframe = "frame1970";
    //_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    _root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
    if((timebutton._x > 413) && (timebutton._x <= 481)) {
    if(_root._currentframe != 52) {
    theframe = "frame1980";
    //_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    _root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
    if((timebutton._x > 481) && (timebutton._x <= 547)) {
    if(_root._currentframe != 53) {
    theframe = "frame1990";
    //_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    _root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
    if((timebutton._x > 547) && (timebutton._x <= 610)) {
    if(_root._currentframe != 54) {
    theframe = "frame2000";
    //_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    _root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
    if((timebutton._x > 610) && (timebutton._x <= 690)) {
    if(_root._currentframe != 55) {
    theframe = "frame2010";
    //_root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    _root.gotoAndPlay(theframe);
    //trace(timebutton._x);
    At the end of the tween the slider tab has this as2:
    on (press) {
    if(init) {
    startDrag("timebutton", false, 32, 440, 637, 440);
    if(!dragHelpInit) {
    dragHelpInit = true;
    _root.dragHelp.gotoAndPlay("hideDrag");
    dragging = true;
    usingDrag = true;
    on (release) {
    if(init) {
    stopDrag();
    if((timebutton._x > 31) && (timebutton._x <= 100)) {
    if((_root._currentframe != 46) && (_root._currentframe != 45)) {
    theframe = "frame1920";
    _root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    if((timebutton._x > 100) && (timebutton._x <= 170)) {
    trace("i'm here");
    if(_root._currentframe != 47) {
    theframe = "frame1930";
    _root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    trace("and here");
    //_root.gotoAndStop("frame1930");
    if((timebutton._x > 170) && (timebutton._x <= 235)) {
    if(_root._currentframe != 48) {
    theframe = "frame1940";
    _root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    if((timebutton._x > 235) && (timebutton._x <= 303)) {
    if(_root._currentframe != 49) {
    theframe = "frame1950";
    _root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    if((timebutton._x > 303) && (timebutton._x <= 373)) {
    if(_root._currentframe != 50) {
    theframe = "frame1960";
    _root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    if((timebutton._x > 373) && (timebutton._x <= 443)) {
    if(_root._currentframe != 51) {
    theframe = "frame1970";
    _root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    if((timebutton._x > 443) && (timebutton._x <= 508)) {
    if(_root._currentframe != 52) {
    theframe = "frame1980";
    _root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    if((timebutton._x > 508) && (timebutton._x <= 573)) {
    if(_root._currentframe != 53) {
    theframe = "frame1990";
    _root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    if((timebutton._x > 573) && (timebutton._x <= 630)) {
    if(_root._currentframe != 54) {
    theframe = "frame2000";
    _root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    if((timebutton._x > 630) && (timebutton._x <= 720)) {
    if(_root._currentframe != 55) {
    theframe = "frame2010";
    _root.blender.gotoAndPlay(2);
    trace(timebutton._x);
    dragging = false;
    Now when I try to animate it off screen it obviously jumps back to the initial position because I'm basically just using the same key frames, but reversed. Does anyone know how I can preserve the position of this slider tab?

    Just to get this out of the way early, as a test, make sure that the Timeline Panel has focus, and try the Spacebar again. While the Timeline will play, with many other Panels having focus, I have encountered times, where, say focus on the Project Panel, will not allow the Timeline to play.
    In PrPro, there is an orange border around any Panel with focus, but PrE is not so easy to spot, unless you are looking at the Timeline Panel's border, when you click on it, and notice a very subtle (I mean VERY subtle) change.
    Good luck,

  • URGENT, PLEASE HELP. N96 keypad problem

    Hi
    The centre selection button on my nokia n96 acts as the downward arrow key before it selects. Therefore, for example, if i want to open a particular application i have to select the one above it on the list as it will move downward and then select. Also, the green call button does not act as such but also an arrow key. I have been told that this is not a mechanical problem so is there anything i can do to fix this problem by a software update??? Any other ideas as to what i could do would be grateful!!??
    Please help
    Thanks

    That part of the keypad is bonded by either an adhesive pad or some form of glue on many phones, it could be that the adhesion is failing on both your phones. Because of the way the phones are assembled nowadays, it is best to get it fixed by a Nokia service point who will ensure that everything is correctly reassembled - if your phone is still under warranty (most N96s in Europe still are, just...), it could be done free under warranty for you.

  • N96 Update problem.

    Hi. I just bought a new n96, which seems very nice, made in finland, brand new etc, however I decided to update the software via nokia pc suite. It sees the phone, and says that I can update it from my current version to a new one. However during the "updating the software" stage, when the bar is about 15% full, it says that there is some sort or recovery problem and I should try to take out my battery, reinsert it again, plug in the charger once again and press continue. Tried it, however the same problem occurs over and over again. What can I do about it?
    Also, where are your repair and support centres in london (do you have any, I failed to fine them on the website)?
    Many thanks

    I have successfully updated my software yesterday. Now I have V11.101.098.1 and the phone performs a little bit better.
    Make sure you got the latest version of NSU which is V1.4.64en. Please follow the instructions step by step. I also thought something was wrong with the NSU and the instructions when I come across the 'recovery' bit. Be patient and you will get there. It takes a few minutes, more than you thought it would. During the 'recovery' bit, leave the usb cable connected and just remove the battery and put it back on. Press 'continue' and then just press the power button on the phone only once. You will NOT see an immediate response from the phone or the NSU. This is where you have to be careful not to unplug the usb cable. Trust me after a few minutes you will see things start to move again, fast. Just before completion the phone screen switches on in 'test mode'. You will see the ' N96 Disconnected' message on the system tray through out most of the process. This is normal and you just leave things as it is.
    Read the on screen instructions please. It is all there.

  • ACR Blacks slider problem?

    Hi
    When i use the "Blacks" slider in ACR the darkest parts of the image "block up" and look very noisy. Unlike setting the black point or creating shadow clipping with the levels tool in PS, which gives a smooth effect, the black slider in camera raw seems to make the shadows crunchy and often with red pixels around the black ones.
    I use both PS5 and PS6 and on both programs i have the same "problem". I also have used ACR 6.2, 6.7, 7.0 and 7.2. All with the same effect.
    Up to ACR 7.0 the blacks slider had a range of 0-100 with the default being 5, and from 7.0 onward the slider can be set to either a plus or minus figure. In either version the default value often makes my shadows look pretty awful on screen. My question is - is this normal? In every book i read it says the blacks slider can be used ruthlessly to sett he black point but if i do that it creates a pretty blocked up result compared to the Levels black slider in PS.
    I shoot with a Canon EOS 5d mk2 and the RAW files appear to have quite noisy shadows when compared to the out of camera Jpegs which have silky smooth ones. Not sure if that is part of the problem?

    You have several issues swirling around...first off, the old Blacks slider in Process Version 2003/2010 is completely different than Process Version 2012. Yes, any Blacks moves in the earlier process versions tended to really clamp the Blacks...that is now considerably different in the new PV 2012.
    So, which do you want to learn how to use?
    The Blacks slider of PV 2012 is prolly the last slider you want to use in the tone controls in the Basic panel. If you use it too early, you are not taking an optimal approach to tone mapping. There are plenty of tutorial (Adobe TV) to learn how to use the PV 2012 adjustments...if you learn how to use PV 2012, I suspect your clamped Blacks issue will go away.
    As far as the noise in the shadows, the camera JPGs get a dose of noise reduction in-camera. In ACR/LR, luminance noise reduction is set to zero (no luminance noise reduction at all). This would explain why your JPGs seem smoother than the default rendering in ACR/LR. I suggest learning how to adjust the luminance noise reduction in ACR/LR to optimize the noise in your raw captures. Some decent tutorials out there for that too...
