N96 various problems

Hi All
Wonder if you can help.
Problem 1. Version V12-043 update does not appear to be available for Vodafone as yet. Anyone got the same problem or are Vodafone just being really slow in adding their bits to it and releasing the update
Problem 2. Radio. Invariably, when I'm listening to the radio, it goes very fuzzy and I have to try to reboot the phone, or it reboots itself, or I actually have to take the battery out as its stuck!
Problem 3. I'm running beta v3 of ovi maps and when I am listening to the radio, and try to access the mapping function it reboots the phone (have reported this on betalabs, waiting for a response)
Problem 4. I have bought a cable (CA-126) which is a combined, VERY USEFUL, cable which uses USB to charge and link to the Nokia PC Suite which works really well as I can work on the train and connect with 3g with the phone and still talk to people, all with a single cable etc, etc. BUT when I try to listen to music, there is a constant, scrolling message that says USB Connection in progress and I can't get the music player to play. Slightly annoying but wondered if anyone had the same issue out there in Nokia cyberland. It only happens with this software (not any other software on the phone, tv for eg. The CA-101 datacable supplied with the phone still allows me to use the music player at the same time it is connected. Bug or a function of the cable?
Don't get me wrong, this phone is fantastic and I love everything I can do with it, especially for business, but I feel vodafone are failing me a bit on the updates side, and it is the most buggy phone I have ever had from Nokia. Still, this is the modern world and these things are sent to try us
Any help would be fantastic
thanks all
Birky

Thanks
However with the cable supplied with the phone this doesn't happen and I can listen to music at the same time.
Both are official Nokia cables, so its disappointing that there isn't consistency in the way they work.
Ultimately I'm guessing this is another bug with the n96, and having read a lot of the forums, particularly on Vodafones website, it doesn't look like they will be updating the firmware at all for the n96. Very disappointing
Don't get me wrong, I really like this phone, but it is full of bugs, slow, and will only work properly for me when vodafone release the update, if they ever do
They are embarassing Nokia here and you would have thought that Nokia would have put a bit of pressure on to get them to do it.
With all the comments people have made on Vodafone and Nokia's website about this issue, I'm surprised no-ones listening. Customer service is dead, I'm off to get a blackberry

GeForce4 Ti4400 - various problems

I have been having various problems with my card. These include: Pausing for several seconds (like a lock up) then reverting to vga mode; complete freeze where I have to reset the computer; red lines and dots that fill the screen sporadically; a blank screen appears for 2-3 seconds and then back to normal.
In all cases I have to reboot to correct. Sometimes rebooting does not help. The red lines and dots return even on the posting screen. When this happens Windows/XP doesn't even start.
I have to powerthe machine off and let it sit for awhile and then turn it back on.
I'm using the latest driver from the MSI website:
nv4_disp Version 6.13.10.3100
VBA bios info: 4.25.00.22.44
I have a Gigabyte GA7VRXP MB, AMD 1800+ cpu, 512MB pc2700 memory from Samsung, HP cd-writer, lg dvd-rom drive, and 40Gb Maxtor hard drive.
This is all in an antec case Plus880 with true 430 ps
I also get a windows/xp dump file in: windows\logfiles\watchdog Here is what is in there:

I have 98SE so I don't know much about XP, but the artifacts you're seeing and the way it sometimes needs to be left off for a while makes it sound almost like it's overheating, because I had similar screwups when I overclocked another vidcard a few years back too much.
Check the fan on the card to see if it's running and make sure it's getting good ventilation (the card might be too close to another card on the board). If you have access to it, some of that cooling spray they have for testing electronics (might check Radio Shack or a PC store) might help show if it's temp-related or not.
And if you're running an overclock utility, try resetting to card defaults for a while. Running it past a certain point will screw it up even if you have it sitting in a freezer for cooling! :^)
Good luck.

Various problems on Macbook Pro

Hello everyone. I know this is a long write up but I would really appreciate any help. I bullet pointed the problems to make it easier to follow. I have a Macbook Pro which I bought in August of 2010. Lately I have had various problems that become very frustrating. Here are the problems:
-The first problem is that when I shut my computer and then reopen it, the wifi display on the top has no bars. When I open up network prefrences, it shows my home wifi as available but when I click it, it says "cannot connect because the connection timed out." I try turning the wifi off and then back on but this doesnt solve the problem. My only resolution is to completely restart my computer. I know it is not my router because all the other computers in the house run fine.
-Another problem is that many times I cannot open firefox. I click on it and it says "Cannot open firefox. The application is already open." but it is not open because I had not opened it the whole time and if I go to force quit, it doesnt even show up in there.
-iTunes will not open up many times also. This error message says "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occured (13014)."
-If I try to throw something in the trash, an error message pops up saying "An unexpected error occured (-50)." This message also shows up if I try to create a folder.
-Safari will open up with a random page that was viewed earlier, but not the latest page viewed. For example, if i read a couple articles on yahoo, then watch a couple videos on youtube, then go on facebook, and then quit safari, if I open up safari again, one of the yahoo articles will pop up. I disabled that setting that opens up the last viewed page but its not the last viewed page that opens up anyways so thats not problem. Also when I open safari, it wont remember any changes that occured like new bookmarks or any of the history that occured after the site that pops up. Going back to the previous example, when it opens back up on one of the yahoo articles, it wont have the history of the youtube videos or facebook pages that were opened after the yahoo articles.
-Google Chrome will open but it wont go to any websites or anything, just a blank screen.
-When firefox and chrome arent working, safari will open up any page except Apple Help pages. Its as if this problem is keeping me from trying to fix it.
-When 1 of these problems occur, all the others occur. If none of the problems are occuring, the others arent either so I believe the problems all come from one source. Possibly a virus?
I have found online some solutions such as restarting the computer and holding control+command+P+R. This did not work. I brought it into the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store and this is the first time ever I have been dissatisfied with my visit. The guy just told me a possible fix and was done with me in 5 minutes. It would have been more helpful if he actually did the fix and see if it worked. Anyways, he told me to restart and hold Command+R. I had all my music and pictures on a flash drive so I was fine with clearing out everything. So when I did this sunday night, I cleared the hard drive and reinstalled Lion. I was surprised that it actually worked like normal that night. It worked perfectly fine this morning also but when I came back to use it again around 5:00pm, the same problems occured. I will probably end up bringing this back to the Apple Store and I hope this time they take it in and try to fix it. If anybody has any resolution at all, please help. Thank you.

With the Finder active, press the following key combinations, in this order:
Shift-Command-H
Command-3
Command-I
The Info window for your home folder will open. Click the lock icon to authenticate. In the Sharing & Permissions section, you should have read & write access. If not, make it so. Select "Apply to enclosed items" from the action (gear icon) menu.

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.
Solved!

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.

Recently I am having various problems on various pages.

In the last few weeks, I have noticed some odd problems. Some of them are.
On Google, or any other page where I do a search for images, or there are numerous images, the firts few load fine, but most don't load at all. For instance... If I do an image search on Google, the thumbnails for the first 50 or so show fine. Then there are rows of image placeholders with only an occaisonal image displayed. I have tried in other browsers, and both Chrome and IE have no such problems.
Also.
On some sites that require Adobe Flash Player to be installed, I get a window saying I have to download and install it, even though I already have the latest version installed. I have tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it, but it hasn't fixed the problem.
And on a lot of pages, I am noticing formatting errors when they display.
I also have major issues installing web apps. Lke the Automatic Troubleshooter here, it will not install. I can click the button, but nothign happens.
I have tried doing a complete reinstall of Firefox, as well as all of the various Adibe players, Java, and MS Silverlight. But the problems are only getting worse. And I have already disabled all but the most important plug ins and extensions.
Any help is appreciated.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

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

Updated to Windows 7 - various problems

I've searched and searched for answers to my questions to no avail so I'm asking yall. Recently, I was updated to Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1) and have had various and sundry problems with Adobe acrobat products and with creating/viewing forms in Livecycle.
Cutting to the chase: I have Acrobat Pro 9. If I purchase the newest version of Pro (and Livecycle) will problems be fixed, or is debugging still in progress?
Thanks!

Hi,
The first four lines are not an issue. These always appear as Acrobat is loading.
At the bottom of the console window is a trash can. Clicking this will clear the console. If no more errors are showing up, then I am stumped.
Is the problem happening with one form OR every form. If it is one form, then it is likely to be a problem with that form. If it is happening in every form then it may be an issue with the LC Designer install.
I don't think the following is the issue, but it may be worth having a look:

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.

N96 Music problem

I have an issue with the N96. While listening to music occasionally the output quality will change from perfect to some kind of digital scrambling noise, something like the old Transformers cartoon used to sound like when they'd change shape!
I returned my first handset citing this problem and my new one does the same thing only far more often! If I press stop and play the track will resume playing just fine (not much good when I'm pedaling up a hill and the phone's in my backpack.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I get the same problem unfortunately.
Only way to stop it is to pause and then play again.
Got a feeling there is a software issue with the music player it comes with, another bug to add to the list.
Nokia 5800... probably the best Nokia I have ever owned.

Model N96 start problem

If i turn off my phone and then turn it on The Navi button remains lightened but nothing appears on the screen until i plug in charger but it takes like 10-100 minutes b4 something appears on my screen and then i can finally start it.If my phone is started everything is running normally and everything is fine batery is ok and last for 1 day no problem but if i have to restart my phone and i dont have any charger around i cant start it only The Navi button remains lightened but nothing appears on the screen just like i said already

Try another battery, or another charger. Or get a new phone (probably not worth repairing the N96, if it is the phone that's broken).

N96 streaming problem remain after upgred to 11.10...

after upgreding n96 to new firmwire still cant do any stream file same problem with last firmwire any boady hapen with him same thing????

I tried one clip and it was WMV 448x336 resolution this clip WILL not play on N95 or N96. I checked others and they are .asx files these are not compatible with N95 OR N96.
So, is there a specific video that plays on N95 but not on N96 can you send the link?

Various problem with Powerbook

My boss just bought a Powerbook over the weekend and now he has taken it back. He bought it because of all the problems he was having with his PCs. Felt the Mac was supposed to be bulletproof.
Tried to run ITunes and it took awhile to start the problem (on the PC it comes right up).
The first song he played ran for about 15 seconds and then he got the spinning wheel that wouldn't stop (I have similar problems on my G4 periodically when using browser).
He said he could barely touch the bottom of the machine it was so hot.
He also got various information at the apple store which he found out later was incorrect. For example, he was told you didn't have to partition the drive to use Vista on it - later he was told he did have to partition it.
I happen to like the Mac myself and have always had one but it is difficult to promote when this is happening.
Tom

First of all, we'd have to know a little about the hardware you have.
• How much RAM do you have? You can find out by clicking on the Apple icon at the top left of your screen. If for some odd reason, it's under 512MB, you need to get some more. OS X isn't anywhere near the memory hog like Vista, but when you try and work cover flow, it eats up quite a bit of memory.
• Why speed processor do you have? Hopefully it's a faster one. A check in the same place will tell you this. It would also be good to check on how much video memory (VRAM) your machine has. This can be found under the "System Profiler" app. which can be launched via the "More Info" button of the "About This Mac" window. More here means faster responses to iTunes stuff.
• How much free space do you have left on your HD? To find out, select the HD icon on your desktop, and either type "Command-I" or Select File->Get Info from the pull down menus. If you have 1GB or less and you're not running anything else, you might notice some slowness in your system's responsiveness, especially when you're multi-tasking.
• What kind of file are you trying to get iTunes to launch? A video file? A music file? What format? At what bit-rate? If you were trying to watch a video in iTunes that was very compressed and a high bit-rate, then it might get choppy. Type "Command-J" while in iTunes, and check things like "Bit Rate" and "Kind" from the selection boxes to get this info to appear.
• Now here's the big Q: Is there anything else running when you try to do your afore mention operation? There are a couple ways to check this: Launch the "Activity Monitor" (Mac HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Activity Monitor) and see what is eating up all of your memory or processing power.
Or, if you want to have easy access to stats like these, but with less clutter and CPU usage, look at this widget here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
I've always found it quite useful, and it'll keep running taps on most of the previous questions so far.
Perhaps you have background programs running that are eating up your power. It could be that some of these launch upon login. Look at System Preferences->Accounts->Login Items, and delete some of the programs/processes that start at login. If your system runs a lot of programs, chances are that a few of them want priority when you login. If you just want something to stop that's in your way, check out the "Force Quit" window. Any programs that aren't responding will be highlighted in red and you might want to consider stopping them.
You shouldn't stop any processes that are necessary to the system running, but that's rarely a worry since OS X doesn't let you do that easily (or without adim. privileges).
Finally, and this amy be the big one, the system is automatically set to do weekly cleanup. I don't know what yours is set at, but once in a while, usually around 3 am, the system runs what are called cron scripts and fixes permissions, journals, etc. I personally run a little app. called "Cocktail:"
http://www.maintain.se/cocktail/index.php
If my system starts lagging after I've run it through the gamut of work that I do, a little clean-up now and then picks it up nicely. "Emptying caches" is another great performance-fixer. Apps. like Safari can hog a bunch of memory when you're doing intensive tasks, so if you go to Safari->Clear Cache, you might fine a little boost there after you've been surfing a lot.
Macs have a lot of buffers built into them to try and keep the system from crashing. This give you peace of mind while multi-tasking, but when problems surface, it's easy enough to try and figure out the cause. I don't know what your friend plans on doing with his/her new Mac, but when you do a lot of work that drains the system, these little tips can help even basic users squeeze the last ounce out of their machines power. The big things to try and have are enough free disk space on your HD, and plenty of RAM.
www.Newegg.com is also a good place to get cheap workable RAM. I remember getting 2 1GB DIMMS (max out the system) for less than $250 for my PB, and that was almost 2 years ago. After you've tried all of the simple maintenance avenues to boost performance, you can always try for more memory. Good luck!

Nokia N96 updating problems

Hello
First, I know N96 is an old phone, but I wanted it so bad, and i got one few months ago. I bough it with 20.050 firmware in it, and when i went check for updates (OTA) it said, and it always says no updates available. I checked the code behind the battery and its: 0543719, checked on the site says there is newer version firmware for my phone available. I tried updating with Nokia Software Updater, again latest version, but it shows error saying it can't identify my device. A friend of mine told me he updates via Ovi suite. I installed it and tried to update. It detected my phone, firmware and everything, it downloaded the latest firmware, but when i go to install, it shows that my usb is disconnected, and then connected again.. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy8EZd0uBYc)
Is there any way i can update to the latest firmware? Can my phone die or get stuck on the oldest firmware if i do recovery? thanks.

There are 3 ways to update the firmware for the N96 and they are
1. OTA (over the air) which is the preferred method.
2. Ovi Suite/Nokia Software Updater
3. Nokia Care Point.
There is always a risk of bricking the phone if the update fails. This will then definitely require a trip to the local Nokia Care Point.
Sometimes when I encounter problems with the updating process, I actually hard reset the phone using the *#7370# reset code before I update. This could rid the phone of any settings etc that may be causing the problem.
Remember to backup your phone before attempting anything.
Good luck.

Nokia n96 update problem

Hello
i have problem with my nokia n96, when i open nokia pc suite and go to software update show me 11.101 and only two applications are available: mail for exchange and nokia messaging. I do not see there download the software or something like that. Software is from 2008 i want to update this phone but i can't. I downloaded NSU but this can not install... Please HELP. I want in update polish language.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Is your phone locked to any Network ? Availability of update depends on region / Product Code and also for locked devices an approval from the Operator is needed. In any case it seems quite a long time that the phone has this version. You may ask your local Nokia Care whether they can help updating the Firmware to the latest version ...
