N97 Mini Crashes

Hi,
N97 Mini is crashing on following scenarios
1. Take the contact list, Search someone & make a Voice call with any one of his / her numbers, hang the line, quit the contact list. after some time the phone goes to sleep / restarts.
2. Take the call by swiping while the phone is locked. After the call is serviced the phone hangs indefinetly
If somebody in Nokia is reading this. Please provide a remedy for the same.
Thank you.
Regards.. Mahesh

I have the exact same problem. This is an annoying. issue. Hopefully an update of the firmware will eliminate these problems, however Nokia should give a date for the release. I also got a new problem now. All my music saved on my SD card was earlier detected by the music player, but now, of some reason, the music player says there is no songs available. the only way to open my music files is to use the file system and open it from there. I can't see any reason for this to happen, but this is the case.

N97 mini crashing??

hi
not sure if this is normal but i got a phone 2nd hand so not sure if its the fault from the previous owner or they're prone to this but does the n97 mini crash or freeze as mine seems to! and is quite slow?! i have to turn it off and on again for it to work?!
the guy i bought it off said it did this to him a cupla time and to 'update it' ??? only few weeks old?
is this normal and if so how do i update it? lol
any help much appreciated!!
thanx
Amy

Don't think there is anything wrong with your specific hand-set. The N97mini notoriously crashes about once of twice a day on me.
Before you are getting started: My only use is email, web browsing, checking the train schedule (a java application) and occasionally listening to music on a bluetooth handset. Nothing fancy but is something that the N97 barely handels. I don't dare to use it for anything more fancy. It really is a shame that so much R&D went into this flagship. I would blame it on symbian but all the symbian devices I owned sofar (Psion, Revo, P800) were actually pretty stable.
I'm glad for you that you bought it second hand.

N97 mini OVI maps 3.03 - 3.04 update crash

N97 mini phone with latest firmware (12.0.110.C01.01) through Ovi Suite or directly thorough phone software updater offers update for OVI maps to newer version. From 3.03 to 3.04
Both ways excellently download install file ~9Mb, but the install process crashes.
Any solution?
Nokia 1611, 2210, 3110, 5110, 6210, 6310, 6310i (up to these models totally satisfied)
Then don't remember model, then E50 (mostly happy), then N97 mini - phone with briliant keyboard, but poor touchscreen, then business phone E07, phone that can not make a photo of contract, invoice or business card. poor design of usb port and 5 months at service did it - my nowadays phone is Apple. Company gave me Asha 300, so frustrating, that I use my old E50 instead...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If I'm looking: Menu > Settings > Application Mgr. > Installed apps. - what incidences of either Nokia or OVI Maps do you have installed already?
I see neither Nokia, nor Ovi, nor any Maps at all.
So nothing even worth trying to remove.
And plus to all - My Nokia was on touchscreen warranty repair - so it was like new from box.
Before warranty there was this problem and after receiving from warranty - same problem.
Only I restored backed up contents before trying tu update OviMaps...

N97 Mini Start Up Problem

Apparently after rebooting my phone, my N97 Mini does not start up, instead, it shows a white screen with the word "NOKIA" and it's stuck there forever.
Googled the issues and I am not the only one who faces this problem, but the thing is, people cannot seem to find any solutions to this, I was hoping to get assistance over here. True enough I can bring my cellphone to the nearest Nokia Care Center, but how many times do I have to face this? And I'm lucky to have a spare phone with me, otherwise, travelling is going to be a problem for me because my phone is my essential.
Anybody has any solution to this?

I've encountered "stucked forever with white screen Nokia logo" problem for more than 5 times since I bought Nokia Mini for one month.It's really frustrating in the beginning. I know this will randomly happen. Well, it just happened again 2 days ago.
Here is my quick fix to undermine the impact.
1. Bought a 8GB SDHC card for mini.
2. Put all my favourite softwares' SIGNED sources (*.sisx) in SD card (F: drive in File manger).
3. Randomly backup Setting, Message, Contacts, Calendar in SD card.
I don't backup "Files" since I don't know what kind of files it backups and sometimes those files are large.
4.1 If the mini DEAD again(freezes at NOKIA booting logo), then Hard-Reset the N97 mini.
4 2 Go to backup Fucntion to restore your previous backups. (i.e. Setting, Message, Contacts, Calendar)
4.3 Go to File Manager and install your favourite softwares again from the SD card.
To install softwares directly from SD card is much faster and easier then from PC/Laptop.
Especially, when mini dead on the go or during the trip, you won't be worried about NO PC besides you.
ps. I don't put softwares and backups in Mass Memory because I may format it when needed.
Although "Crash" thing is still bothering sometimes, the quick fix makes me feel better(safe !?) and I still love using Mini.
Cheers,

N97 Mini Charger Problem

Hi there,
I want to know if anyone else have the same problem as I?
I bought the phone about 3 weeks now, and been through all the crashes, frustrations and pulling my hair out. I am pretty much over that stage already.
But here comes my next problem that is very close for me to actually throw it out of my apartment.
The phone charger that comes with the phone DOESN'T WORK!
It never worked from the start, and I had to use the USB charger from my computer to N97 Mini.
Okay, so that may be a solution. However, I am travelling abroad for a conference soon. How am I suppose to bring my computer along with USB charger and everything if I was to travel light -___-
For those people who is going ot suggest, try and plug the USB charger to other computer. Here is the problem. I've tried my entire office computers after office hour. ONLY 1 computer manage to charge for 1 hr before it 'automatically' disconnects. The rest only recognize the PC suit and Mass memory... but NOT the charging *arghhhhh*
Any solutions?

you can buy a charger like mine when i lost my n97 mini charger all you do is get a port thing where you insert your computer cable into a usb port thing then at the end there is a port where there is to put it in the eletric look at the picture attached.

N97 mini maps problem !

hi all, i have a n97 mini and i hard formated it then i loaded all software now i can't enter my maps, after i open, it s closing in 1-2 seconds i don't understand what's going on :/ pls help help help me

@behzatkara
Welcome to the forum!
Regrettably neither of the two previous posts appear to address your issue with one under the misapprehension that you are using N97 where phone memory is certainly a problem instead of N97 Mini in question.
It is more likely here that you have corrupt map data, which is the commonest cause of OVI Maps crashing upon opening! When you updated OVI Maps application to latest v3.06 it needs to delete previous 0.1.25.114 map data used by v3.04 to make way for 0.2.42.122 map set. Whilst there is a message saying that old map data will need to be removed, it requires confirmation by the user.
Suggest that you try deleting E:\Cities + .qf file, re-start OVI Maps application upon device to re-initialise application and re-create necessary folder structure. You now have option of downloading regional maps using either "Update" feature within application upon device via WLAN access point or use OVI Suite > Maps as previously if so preferred.

N97 Mini vs E72

N97 Mini vs E72
Not sure if i should post this question just here or post it both here and in the E series sub forum, i'll post it in both just in case....
N97 Mini Pros
Touch Screen
Bigger Screen
Fold out keypad
30fps Video (VGA) quality
5mp Carl Zies lens
Dual Flash (flash for video and flash for photos)
E72 Pros
600mhz cpu
Mega 3G (Next G access)
Symbian 3rd (More apps available eg coreplayer)
Bigger Battery/Longer life.
Now i have the E72, but i've been trying to talk my wife into having the N97 mini, but she says why don't I have the N87 and she can have my E72, well for me, it's literally a coin toss, they both have features i Like, both have the mandatory 5mp camera, both have wifi, compass, gps all the high end features... but the N97 mini offers a nice big keyboard where as the E72 does not but the E72 offers extra frequencies which work with high speed on other networks.
So for me it comes down to build quality and i can't fault the E72, in all honesty if I had of just bought an N97 mini (instead ot the E72 just 1 week ago) i'd probably wish to keep the N97 mini...
So i have an E72 1 week old,, and my wife's contract ends in only a couple of months, so now were looking at an upgrade for her... have no idea which i prefer, anyone got both or played with both the E72 and the N97 mini, what's your advice?... i can't really fault the E72, im scared the N97 mini will break in 10 minutes....

I could not agree with you more about how similar the E71 is to the E72, for example I can charge the phone, go bed, leaving the "breathe" light on if you've seen that, it lights up every 10 seconds or so then slowly fades out ... but anyway come 8 hours later, I thought let's just plug it into charge see how much power's actually lost, plugged it in, beep, finished charging please remove.... i mean wow, amazing..... so i got curious made a phone call browsed a few sites sent an sms then plugged it in, again it was still fully charged...
Wonderful phone, not to mention Drive C is 250meg nand memory, i've got 200+ meg left with about 30 apps installed, i'd not even get close to that on the N95 or 6710, it's yet to crash, it froze once but that was my own fault for not knowing what i was doing with the scummvm emulator btw - curse of monkey island runs perfectly but the optical keypad has to be held down while you click up/down/left/right (basically all around your thumb while keeping it pressed) but lol anyway...
It's a great phone, but then i think about the touch screen, bigger screen for playing videos on then i remember apps like coreplayer wont run properly on it, but then i think ah but the nice big keyboard for internet browsing then i think but ah battery life....
Maybe I'll wait for the N900 lol, but then there wont be Video Calling support, no compass, no ability (as of yet) to assign pics or is it videos to callers in contacts... but the N900 does have the ability to play divx...
BLAHHHH... Nokia do us all a favor add native support for DivX over UPNP/DLNA the N97 Mini would be as near perfect ... but then i think to myself, web browsing, the N97 only has a 420mhz cpu and Adobe requires 500mhz for their new flash applications hopefully due this year.... that rules out the N97, back to the E72, yes it will run it but it will be a let down on the small screen LOL...
Then i start thinking about the N95 with it's omap and dedicated 3D GPU, and how that can play quake 3 and yet 5 years later their flagship N97 does not even come close, now we have other manufactures with either 1ghz snapdragon cpu's or CPU's with GPU's ....
So the perfect phone from Nokia would be.
N98 - Specs
*8Mpix camera
*C Drive with 250meg of NAND memory,
*Querty Keyboard, but make sure 4 rows down, with `1234567890-= number keys at the top.
*16gig-32gig
*600 mhz (min) with a GPU, eg Omap or even a Tegra CPU with GPU or SnapDragon, or eventually an Atom to compete with Apple's Iphone for Games.
*GPS
*Wifi
*Compass
*Acclerometer
*Touch Screen
*Native DivX support in conjunection with UPNP
*Dual flash (but no biggy) make sure camera cover
*Large battery 1.5amp/h at least
*128meg of RAM
Put a lot of effort into making sure that everything can be turned off widget wise remove any fluff that's not needed on startup let the user install the apps don't assume keep the power
consumption as low as possible, go speak to the guys who do the E series they have this
done perfectly.... don't get it to automatically get email just make sure all energy hungry apps are off as default, this way people don't need to spend 2 hours changing settings instead they can spend just 1 hour enabling what they want.
And 1 more thing, filesharing, it would be nice to be able to map a drive over the network rather
than having to create a webserver to do the job.
And if you did all that, you'd have the ultimate flagship device.... the N900 is about 80% away from perfect in terms of what it should be able to do, if not for lacking the compass and a couple of other things it would be damn near perfect.

N97 mini cutting out

N97 Mini cuts out when using GPS. Phone gets quite hot & has happened twice since the recent upgrade to Ovi maps. This happened once before the upgrade but never since I started using a genuine Nokia car charger. All software is up to date, charger & cradle genuine Nokia. Anyone else suffering this problem?

All my phones get hot when using navigation, it's a very processor hungry application, also I've had crashing with N97, best to close all possible applications before using to leave maximum RAM whilst using the Navigation on the phone !

Opera mini crashes when scrolling

ANYONE ELSE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH OPERA MINI CRASHING WHEN SCROLLING? ANY FIX SUGGESTIONS? SEESM TO EFFECT THE 5800 TO.
CesarCesar
LOVE my 5700 ExpressMusic, HATED my N97, Salivating for a N900
Like my post? Kudo me Please!

The only Opera Mini crash that I've seen was one that reported an "Out of Memory" error just before it exited.
I had left the Web Browser open (used it to find and load Opera Mini) and had forgotten to close it.
Since then I've had no problems with it, but then I mainly use it for RSS feeds as it is friendlier than the Web Browser's RSS feed reader.

N97 mini phone memory

Hello,
I have a N97 mini which i like but it started coming up with memory error messages and saying i needed to close applications, also the max amount of text i could have on my phone was 85. i have unistalled most of the pre-installed Apps which has free'd up some memory space on my phone. the memory messages have stopped now but i was wondering if there are any other files i can delete to free up even more space on the phone.
I currently have 223MB free on my phone. is this a good amount ? or can more be found ?
thanks

One problem that I had after phone crashes on the N97 mini was that some of my settings changed causing data to get stored on device memory instead of mass memory. The two biggest culprits were messaging and podcasting.
Check your settings for both of these programs to make sure that they are not saving to device memory.
You can also go to settings/phone/application settings and check all of your applications to see what memory they are using.
If, like me, you are syncing with an exchange server and have hundreds of contacts, hundreds of calendar entries and thousands of e-mails, it won't take long for your device memory to get maxed out. That will cause problems running basic tasks.

N97 Mini Restarts often for no reason

Hi, I had bought a N97 Mini and soon found it crashing while using different apps or while typing a message. There is no definite patterns for these crashes though. I then got replaced the phone with another piece and surprisingly found the same issue with the new device.
I am now in FIX. What do i do?? i tried calling up the customer care and they updated that there is new firmware for the same nor is this a know issue with thN97 mini.
Can anyone please help on this??? I am anyhow going to get this replaced by a new piece of N97 mini but not sure if its a hardware or a software issue.
Thanks in advance for your support.

It's always advisable to do a hard reset when doing a software update and to only backup your contacts, calendar and notes. A full backup and restore could re-install conflict between the new software and the old. It's a bit of a pain, but should provide a much better result !
Dial *#7370# followed by 12345, the phone will shutdown and revert to 'out of the box' condition, then install/re-install the latest software, and set up your phone manually and install whatever apps you want (on E mass memory where ever possible) and you shpuld find the phone will run much better !
Good Luck

N97 Mini can no longer be found on iPhoto.

hey, will some one kind enough to sort me out this ' dreadful problem , my N97 mini has been working fine with iPhoto, getting images/ videos off my phone, now when i plug it in, i click Mass storage and nothing on iPhoto changes, everything else works like finder, because the folders on the desktop, but i dont no what's happened, the only thing changed from other times is i have recently upgraded to snow leapard but i dont see how that could be the problem.

If you had iTunes set not to copy added recordings into its own library, then the files might be anywhere and justreferenced in iTunes. Only you could know where you put the originals, but if careful searching doesn't find them that suggests they've been deleted.
If it did copy the files but you have deleted the library from your 'Music/iTunes' folder then the songs are gone. Again, if searching produces no results then the songs would appear to be missing from your computer.
With no backups, and the songs deleted, they are lost. 'iTunes in the Cloud' might enable you to re-download songs you had purchased, but I doubt this works on Leopard, which your signature says you have.

Core duo mini crashing occasionally - how to find the cause?

My core duo Mac mini crashes itself every now and then. The screen goes blank for a couple of seconds and the machine reboots with no explanation. This happens about three or four times a month. It has happened in the middle of the night with no active load in the machine, and also while me using it in the front of console. No warnings, no strange behaviour before the crash, just a sudden blank screen and reboot with no extra messages.
I'm looking for the cause but I can't find any hardware related errors from system.log, dmesg or console.log. Is there some other log file that I should consult to see whether the crashes are hardware or software related?
Any debug programs I should run to get more specific info to be collected just before the next crash? Crash dumps and a debugger?
I ran Mac diagnostics and some 3rd party memory test programs with no errors.
1.66GHz Intel Core Duo, 1GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.6)

It sounds like your power cord may not be firmly
inserted. Check to make sure nothing is fraying or
loose about it before starting up the machine.
Checked. Also, the Mac Mini has been in two locations with the same symptoms; all the cords have been replugged and rechecked.
In addition, since it has happened several times,
have you checked to make sure the directory is fine
with Disk Utility's Verify Disk?
Yes, no problems there. Luckily the Disk Utility has not found any problems after the crashes.

Data recovery from N97 mini

Hei all,
I’m using Nokia N97 mini.
Along with Phone memory and Mass memory, I inserted one 1GB memory card also.
Yesterday, I was trying to copy some files in ‘mass storage’ mode via cable into that 1GB card. While copying, some files could not be copied and I got error message.
So, I aborted the whole operation. From then, I couldn’t find my personal data from the Mass memory.
Along with some system folders on the mass memory, I have one folder ‘My data’ in which I save all my data.
I’m unable to see the ‘My data’ folder.
It shows that ~2GB memory is being used on mass memory. If I check the size of all folders that i can see, its only 45MB.
So, my folder is occupying space. But, i’m unable to see that.
Please help me in recovering my data.
-Babloo

Download and install an app from www.ovi.com called y-browser and see if that allows you to see your folder.
