N97 firmware bugs

Hi all,
I updated my N97 to firmware v2 and it experienced the no ring and impossible call problem.
So I did a hard reset that fixed the problem but since then, the phone act strangly:
the screen light itself every about 10 or 20 min!
it is impossible to connect the phone to wifi.
I try to soft reset, hard reset, I format the mass memory, I reinstall the firmware, but with no result.
It seems that it is impossible to change the firmware back.
So a hard reset does not bring the phone back to factory settings because the firmware is still v2.
Does anyone has an idea?
Please help me.
Flyingd.

My bugs are as follows for version 12.0.024
-Cutting numbers with the internatioal extention within the contacts renders them un-pasteable losing the important contacts.
-changing the predictive txt word within the writer then adding grammer like the question mark copys the word twice and adds them on to your text. Also, when you hit plus button to add a symbol it changes the text to the next word and upon pressing back-space it refuses to acknowledge it for change back forcing you to delete the word and rewrite it!
-The fataly flawed lens cover.
-After accidentally adding my country wrong at the begining I was unable to change it with out a hard reset and resultantly was consistently redirected to a foreign language version of the websites i wanted to view.
-The facebook widget never showed any updates on the main page.
-Can not scroll sideways through the photos like the n97 making navigation slow and cumbersome.
-Horrendous ovi store excuse for an application store
-The web browser sometimes refuses to get past the white screen during its startup (since the hard reset this hasn't happened, although it has only been 1 day).
-The drawings saved with a messy noise around all the lines drawn.
-Guitar game has no audio even when audio option is set to on.
-Guitar game is gone after hard reset (among other things)
Perhaps one or two of these might be my own doing, I restored a backup of my n95 data, user files, contacts, bookmarks, settings, calender, notes and messages before I even used it (this was the only way to get my contacts back for me)

6220c firmware bug?

Updated firmware to 5.15 in my 6220 classic yesterday. After some memory card trouble, it now seems to work, with one exception that I have noted. If I do *#0000# and then options/check for updates and select my usual ISP, I get a message saying "system error". Other ways of accessing Internet work fine with this ISP. Could this be a firmware bug?

i have same problem with my 6220c firmware 5.15,and i have reflashed the firmware twice still same problem,i am unable to watch mobile tv on my tv screen via tv out cable,the voice works fine on tv but there is no picture except a key with a slash in blue background on my tv,and its almost a year now since nokia released a new firmware for 6220c generic and other phones like 5800,5530,n79,n97,n96 etc has goten 2 or 3 firmwares each 2009/2010

Firmware bug: $CCERT must not be used in Report_Rule

Prolog
"Report Rule" can be configured with URL's used to save phone's current configuration. Starting with 7.5.2b firmware it is possible to configure more than one URL here. The semi-colon has been used as separator. It caused issues because semi-colon can be used in casual URL, so the separator has been changed to space in 7.5.5 (see Bug in Report_Rule parsing (SPA50x, fw 7.5.x) for more)
As of 7.5.7 firmware, the 2048 certificates has been introduced and value of $CCERT variable may contain text "Installed (2048 bits)". It cause other issue related to Report Rule parsing.
Issue & how to repeat
$CCERT can be used on "Report Rule" no longer because of wrong parsing order.
The author of firmware first call variable expansion for complete "Report Rule" string, then split the result by space in attempt to found second URL.
With Report Rule configured to https://test.local/Report.php?Product=$PN&CERT=$CCERT it is parsed to:
first_rule is https://test.local/Cisco/Report.php?Product=SPA508G&CERT=Installed, second_rule is (2048 bits)
It is wrong result. In advance, it reveal the characters inserted into URL by variable expansion are not escaped properly.
How to fix
The order of parsing steps needs to be reversed. Report Rule need to be split into parts first, then variable expansion should be called for both parts independently. Also, strings expanded from variables should be url-encoded properly.
Disclaimer
I will not call SMB support to report this bug to them. Assuming the Cisco is interested to repair firmware bugs a staff member monitoring this forum will create ticked by self. I wish that all relevant information including the depth-in analysis has been disclosed here. I'm ready to provide further details or create test environment if necessary. I'm just not willing to call the Support center as I'm not willing to explain all those complex things described here by phone (and they doesn't accept written reports).
For those non-Cisco-staff users affected by issue - feel free to report the issue to Support center, if you are willing to do it. You are allowed to use information disclosed here, or just refer to this report. I don't care the authorship.

You are not alone on this one, I am having the very same issue as you are and . Everything functioned just fine the last time the application was deployed was deployed and there was nothing changed to any of the reports or code which handles the reports; however, this time I am having the same issue. I added the parameters to the report to check to see if they were actually being recognized by the report and they do show up, but it refuses to filter the records and brings back every record. The report works properly if I run it just directly in Crystal though. I sure hope someone can enlighten us Paul.
Update: Well, I finally figured out what was causing my issue. The issue had to deal with the actual older version of the CrystalReportViewer control and the newer version supplied by the update. I had suspected it was something minor that I had overlooked when doing the update. Hope this gets you going as well. Cheers

E55 Thread for Firmware Bugs

I noticed that there isn't yet a thread in order to report E55 firmware bugs, so I started this
Here the firmware bugs I've found:
- Hidden WLAN: when you search for wireless access points (for example from the main screen) the phone see always one "hidden wlan", that is not there!
- Default phone numbers: when you have more phone numbers for a contact, you can choose one of these as default for messaging or dialing, but even if you do that, E55 keep asking you what number to use every time you make a sms
- Organizer major bug: sometimes (80% of times!) when you edit a memo in Organizer, or when you move it (by changing the start date), you will see that also the end date has changed (adding 1 or more days), even if you didn't touch it! And even if the start and the end date originally matched! So if you had a memo covering one day, now it covers more days, and the end date can't be changed again (you set the correct date, save, and none happens). This make the memos totally unusable!
- Organizer minor bug: when you open Organizer, and then open a memo, you have to select the information that you want to modify (text, date, synch) and click one more time to edit the memo. But: if you select the "date" or the "synch" row, instead of the "text" row, and then click "modify", the memo is open alway with the cursor on the "text" row. So, the capability of selecting others rows, is pretty useless.
I hope some Nokia guy will notice this thread so there informations can be useful for a future firmware release, also because I'm getting crazy with the memos issue!!

hi olandesevolante
about ur first and second issues u face they r not realy bugs, why?
for the first one: i faced that with my E51 in a place i visited before, that hidden WLAN maybe a conflict from another type of waves other than that of wlan using same frequency
and about the second issue: default phone numbers is a feature that only set for making calls but when u make an sms the phone will ask u to choose between numbers present unders the same contact name even if u set a default number, so it is not a bug but that is the normal firmware properties
for the rest of issues , they sound like real bugs
i hope i helped a little and i wish those bugs will be removed in the next firmware

Firmware bug: CPU1 tried to use APIC500

Every time I want to use the computer (HP Compaq 6005 Pro small form factor) I have to switch it on and then push the reset button after booting up to a black screen.
I once got :
Firmware bug: CPU1 tried to use APIC500 (LVT offset0) for vector 0x400 but the register is already in use for vector 0xf9 on another CPU.
Any ideas?
Is Linux reporting a real firmware fault or is it wrong?

Firmware bug? No Connect/Disconnect button on "Manual" PPPoE option

Hi,
To the best of my knowledge this is a firmware bug.
There is no Connect/Disconnect option when choosing "Manual" from the PPPoE settings.
There are two related (unanswered) posts:

Is there an official way to report such a bug?
Does anybody have another solution?
Thanks,

Firmware bugs

Hello!
I found three firmware bugs and already informed the hotline about one of them in january. It is not fixed in firmware 1.1, so I am posting here.
The first, already reported, bug can be seen with German language setting when configuring the alarm clock. The dialog where you can enter the desired alarm time shows am/pm time although the other time options change to 24h display when setting the iPod to German.
The second bug is inside the game Solitair. Very often you can't move a card to the "finished" stack, although it matches perfectly. For example you can move a red four on top of a black five, but not on top of the (matching) red three at the top.
The third bug is inside the game Brick. I noticed sometimes the ball does not get faster over time which makes it very easy to go through all levels. In fact after some time the first level re-appears.
The following facts are annoying, but I don't know if I can call them bugs.
a) My computer very often loses the connection to the iPod while transferring (large) files. I am using opensource software (Linux, gtkpod), so it might be something to preven t users from using non-supported hardware.
The first message indicating the problem is
"Nov 26 13:38:13 carsten-otto usb 1-3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 71" just after the transfer stopped. This message repeats some times and then everything gets messy.
b) Videos stop playing with sound after some time. I did not try with official videos yet, but my self built videos do meet the requirements and should play. After about ten seconds the video stops for about 5 seconds and then starts again, but from now on without sound. Whenever I seek to a new position I can have sound again, but only for another ten seconds.
Please tell me how to solve the problems and/or how to contact Apple so that they can help me.
Thank you,
Carsten Otto

The Video issue I am having, and I believe all people are having with 5th Generation Video IPODS. I've installed probably 8 or 9 programs over the last two days, hoping to find one that doesn't screw up the video/sound after a few minutes.
It's interesting because none of the Video Podcasts seem to have a problem running on it, but some information regarding how this is working for Video Podcasts but nothing else is missing. I would hope a firmware upgrade is in the works to fix this problem, because if not I anticipate a large recall, and I think this would be bad publicity for Apple, at a time when many competitors are biting at the bit to take a share out of the market.

Nokia 5320 XM firmware bugs concerning date and al...

Hello!
Although already having twice sent in my Nokia 5320 XpressMusic for repair, I'm still suffering from severe firmware bugs concerning date and alarm of the device. Here some information on when and how the bugs are showing themselves:
Settings: A different weekly alarm is programmed for each day of the week. The phone is being switched off for the night.
The programmed alarm is being run correctly by the phone. The phone is being switched on after having disabled the alarm.
Some time later the date changes to four or five days in the future. Moreover the phone starts to ring for the day the date has changed to. Often it's not ringing at the time that has been programmed for that day, even though pretending to do so.
Example:
9:45 on Sunday: phone is correctly ringing at the programmed time.
10:15 on Sunday: phone is incorrectly ringing again pretending it was Friday 7:50
the clock remains unchanged, however the date has changed automatically for five days
Linked to this error, there seem to exist similar problems with date and snooze-function already mentioned on these forums:
/discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=145323
/discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=144139
/discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=143893
As I mentioned above, I already sent my phone in twice, however I always got it back with the mention: repaired on guarantee. To me, this seems rather disgraceful for Nokia. I sincerely hope, that, if necessary with the pressure of other users being concerned as well, we arrive to get a phone that is really working as one could await it from the leader in mobile phone production!
I hope we will be informed soon about when there will be a firmware update!
Thanks for your replies!
Regards,
Lorenz

Have the same problem, as I already mentioned in my posts too. But unfortunatly no reply from Nokia either. Seems they really don't care about it. It would be at least apropriate, that they at least announce time of new firmware and note if they will fix this problem with it.
But no replay from them I contacted local nokia dealer in Slovenia, but they just say they can not help. And that we must wait for new firmware.
Now I wonder, when it should came out ?! I am sick of this trouble with my phone. and as you said, I am also turning off my phone since I want my battery to last longer. so this bug must be fixed.
Nokia team, anyone?!?!?

IPod Firmware bug?

Hi.
I just bought an iPod Nano 2Gb Black about 1 month ago.
But unfortunally it has started to "hang" at the star ratigng system. If i go to that option, i can't make i disappear. :S I keeps showing that screen even though i push the center button.
Is this a Firmware bug, and how do I fix it? It's ******* me off that an only 1 month old iPod already screwed me like that.
//CV-DK

This is a known bug with some iPod models, including yours.
You'll need to update your iPod to the newest firmware using the latest iPod Updater Utility to resolve this problem.
Additionally, since you have a Nano, you may want to post future topics in the Nano forum instead of the 5th Generation iPod forum.

If a hard reset does not solve the issue then you only other option is to send it to a Nokia Care Point. You can find your nearest

Firmware BUG in N97 and N97 mini!

qwerty keypad lights up in landscape mode when slider closed. Why?
It unloads Batteries.

same thing happens in mine.
open it just the tiny little bit and you can quite clearly see the keyboard light is on, but it doesn't happen in portrait mode.
doesn't look like a fault either, just the way it is built.
thanks for pointing this out, i use landscape all the time

Problem updating Nokia N97 firmware over the arir ...

OK here goes,
I'm having some real problems updating the firmware on my white nokia N97
I recently bought it of the web as a 12 month contract onto t-mobile (not there website though) in th uk
After noticing some problems i googled and noticed a firmware update had been released on 1st july 2009
I tried to get the firmwae over the air (OTA) via typing in *#0000# and selecting check for updates. I get no updates available for nokia and t-mobile (unsure what the difference is?)
So i heard try using nokia software updater.
i downloaded latest version 1.6.13 and installed it on a windows vista 32-bit home premium laptop ok
i have also installed all of the stuff that came with the cd with the phone (ovistore etc )
when i plug the phone into the laptop i get four options (PC, media, usb and something else) first time it ran it installed the necessary drivers and so therefore when i now plug it it just connects as expected.
so the laptop is detecting the nokia n97 at this stage
when i then load nokia software updater click next i put the phone into general mode on full charge with a sim card in it and click next again to detect the phone is pc suite mode
after about 2 minutes it says it can detect the phone although i can go to my computer and traverse the folder view!
i can even set it off looking for the phone pluggin it in and the autoplay options of vista will kick in in the background detecting the phone (ie outisde scope of nokia software updater)
i have tried all different connections mode pc suite mode etc different profiles nothing. tried it onto different pcs with different windows version on it. tried reinstalling software updater
my software version is 10.0.012 and my product code is 0587240
interestingly when i goto the can i update on nokias website it says no i have the latest version when i supply this information. weird
im kinda in catch 22 because there is a bug with pc usb detection of the phone in version 10 but i cant update to version 11 because of this bug
its driving me nuts any help greatly appreciated
thanks in advance
Cheers

just what i wanted cheers nokia
It will break your facebook as you have re-formatted the C: drive of you phone. Was you facebook installed to the E: drive by any chance?
Go to OVI Store and re-install it.
It may be work installing it from OVI Store then un-installing that one to clean off the mess you have been left with post formatt and then re-installing it fresh from OVI Store.
As I always say. Before doing a re-format always uninstall all apps/widgests before doing a hard reset or factory reset.
I also do a this and a factory reset before firmware updates to clean my phone. Should really do a hard reset/format as this would be cleaner still, but tehn I would have to do a lot more set-up afterwards.

N97 ringtone bug

now that i have ver 12 firmware the ringtone bug is reproduceable at will..
whenever the phone is locked it plays the wrong ringtone (nokia default) even theough the one set for my theme is on the c drive..
unlocked it seems to work ok..
can we get this fixed now nokia.. it appears the popup for lock unlock phone is too taxing or something.

I do not have the problem.
I use MP3's as ringtones. I got a huge package of thepiratebay.org with like 900 ring tone mp3's.
I added photos, taken with camera and / or transfered from PC to most of my (often in use) contacts, and it works perfectly with both incomming and outgoing calls.
I have the
"Software version V 10.0.012"
"Software version date" 15-05-2009"
"Custom version 10.0.012.254.01"
"Custom version date 27-05-2009"
"Language set 33"
"Model N97"
"Type RM-505"
I can for some reason not upgrade to V11 firmware. I have no clue why, i am just toeld V10 is the most recent.
Replaced my buggy Nokia N97 with a HTC Hero.
Besides the camera and the real keyboard the HTC Hero pawned the N97 on every level.

N97 Firmware Update v12

Hello,
Through various sources, I learned that v12 firmware was released on 17th August. Till date, I have not been able to update through NSU as it says that my phone is already up-to-date ! I thought that maybe this had to do something with the product code of my device and that the firmware was not probably released for India. To my surprise, my friend who happens to own a N97 himself happily updated to v12 !
I did a little background research on product codes. To my surprise, his phone had product code 0575724 while mine has product code 0587487. Upon googling these product codes, I found that
0575724: RM-505_APAC_INDIA Black
and
0587487: N97 India CV B
Both are RM-505. Now can anyone please explain to me what is it with two different product codes for a device same country ? In India, we never get branded phones in contract with a service provider. Hence, that possiblity is also ruled out. Also, can anyone let me know, when to expect the update for my device and why do I have to deal with some bugs and slow device when my other friend who lives nearby enjoys the latest firmware ?
