N97 mini, email retrieval, and definition of "home...

Could somebody please explain what is meant by "home network" in the automatic email retrieval settings? I can't find any place to define this "home network" and I can't find info in the manual about it either. At home I'm connected to my WIFI network but at other places I'm either connected via GPRS or via other WIFI networks, so it's impossible for the Nokia to just know what my home network is.
What I did notice is that automatic email retrieval only works if I set "Email retrieval" to "Enabled". If I set it to "Only in home network" then it doesn't work.
What I really want to achieve is that email is retrieved automatically only when I'm in a WIFI network and not when I'm using GPRS.

Hi Justasking,
Availability of firmware updates is dependent on carrier and country variants. If your phone is branded (e.g. Vodafone is your carrier and has there custom wallpapers / apps etc), then Nokia release the firmware to your carrier and it is up to them whether they will work on and release the update to you. If your phone is a country variant, this means that Nokia releases the firmware to your country's Nokia, and it is up to your country whether to add their own country requirements / custom apps etc. If your phone is branded, contact your carrier for an update schedule and availability, but if your phone is a country variant, contact your local Nokia Care point and ask them about availability.

Hi Klicko,
As per your post, hard reset does not work because the code was changed. If that is the case, we can suggest you to do the Key Combination Reset for your phone. You can do this by:
1. Opening the slide of your phone
On the keyboard, press simultaneously Shift (left) + Space + Backspace and press the Power button
If the hard reset is successful, the device is reset to factory settings and boots up prompting for the country, date and time settings. However, if this will not work successfully on your phone, the best option that we can do is to bring the phone to the nearest Nokia Care Center within your place for the to be reset to its original setting by our authorized technicians.

Nokia n97 mini email not working

Hi im trying to set up emails on my n97 mini , i click on email it says no mailbox defined define now , so i click yes then start , i choose my internet and it says installing , allow application to use internet, click yes then i goes back to messaging and email not set up , any help

I think I have the same problem. I can set up email accounts with the email wizard and Nokia Messaging online (email.nokia.com) but they don't show up as a mailbox in the regular messages folder structure. Also starting the procedure from that point (Create new mailbox) lead to no results. It starts up the set up procedure but goes back to nothing. Also the symbol of new mail @ is not shown (I hear the sound)....
I used to see a list with Mailboxes in use when I just got the phone, but since I deleted an account I have the above described situation. I did a hard factory default settings reinstall all but that didn't fix the problem.
Can we have some support please?
Grtz.

N97 Mini - Email photos

I'm new to the N97 mini and I have no clue how to email photos. I don't want to send them by MMS because I don't see why I should pay for an MMS when I can email for free. Is it possible on this phone?

Yes, it is possible to attach photos to emails with the N97 mini. Before doing so, you have to set up your email account. The procedure depends on which email provider you are using.

N97 MINI LOCKING UP AND SWITCHING OFF

Hello,
I have a N97 mini and nearly all of the time it keeps locking up, only way to unlock is to switch it off, sometimes it just goes to 'MY 191' then just switches off without me doing anything. Recently it keeps locking up when trying to get on my messages.
anybody with advise would be much appreciated as its driving me mad.
thanks

try a soft reset. backup your data, close all active internet connections, and dial *#7370#
Your phone will ask for a security code, the default code is 12345. Enter this code and phone will restart.
note that this mentioned process will erase everything in phone memory, backup important data before trying this.
Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and the world laughs louder :-)

N97: no email send and receive any longer. What to...

Hello,
I've set up Nokia Mail on my N97 and used it over WiFi at home. Now I left the house, a little later the N97 lost connection to WiFi and asked to connect via EDGE, which I refused. Okay. Later, when I returned home I wanted to sync email. But, now Nokia Email does not sync any more! It simply does not go online, no Wifie, no EDGE, nothing. I tried to change to "offline" and back "online" again, to no avail. I tried "send/receive", nothing happens. I quit the app, started again, to no avail. How can I make Nokia Email to go online and sync again?
Thanx

Solved: I just changed temporarily the access point to GPRS and then Nokia Messaging synced. After that I changed back to WiFi and now Nokia Messaging syncs correctly. Just temporarily change the access method to make it sync again.

Nokia N97 Mini Email Default issues after update.....

Hello
I have recently updated my phone to:
software version
V 10.0.20
software version date
14-10-09
custom version
10.0.020.209.02
custom version date
30-11-09
ever since then my Email application automatically connects to my network providers WAP/mobile service... Before the update I had set it up to ask me every time - this way I can choose between my home Wifi and mobile internet while out and about...
Though it is set to default it still connects to the mobile internet every time...(irrelevant of priorities set for each connection)
I have managed to set my internet browsing to ask me every time between wifi/mobile internet. This works perfect
any ideas or is this a "bug" in the update?
Thanks

If you are using mail for exchange, goto application-- mail for exchange and change the settings, set sync schedule as manual.. Also change the method like how the application wants to connect.

N97 Mini email message deletion

Evening all,
All of a sudden I cannot delete email messages that appear on my email account on the phone. The wifes is all ok, it's just mine. When they appear I mark them all and then try and delete and the message "could not delete" appears every time.
I have installed the latest phone software version last night but to no avail.
Any advice?
Thanks

Try deleting all your mailboxes and internet access points, and nokia messaging if it's installed. Remove sim and battery, reboot phone without sim, allow to fully boot up. Then re-insert sim and set up a mailbox in the standard email client, hopefully this will work.
Or try profimail, though you shouldn't have to !
Good Luck

Skype on N97 mini

Hi I purchesed an n97 mini on saturday, and downloaded skype. the only way i've been able to get it to work is by wifi. Whenever i start walking away from home and the wifi signa drops, so does skype. There's absolutely no way to make it log in on 3G, and yes i do have a data plan... The very reason why i got this phone was because i wanted to use skype... Oh and when i try to choose connection on teh sype settings, it says "imposible to connect, The correct connection settings were not apllied" or soemthing to that effect. I did install the data info from my service provider, and i can use teh browser with no trouble at all.
Can anyone please, please help me? Thanks.
PS: I'm in Argentina and my service provider is Personal.

Hey . Thanks for replying. I'm not a complete nub about phones, but i cant get it to work still.
If what you mean is go to
menu> settings>conectivity>destiantions
Well, no can do. I mean, it does go in there, and there is 2 options, one is to add acc. point and the other is uncategorized (21 access points)... But whenever i try to open the 21 uncategorized ones, it gets stuck, i even tried taking the batt out and restoring manufactorer's settings.
Is there any way to delete a wi fi connection? i tried doing it but i cant seem to find the option to....
Thanks again, hope we get it to work :]
update: i just tried re-installing the device sw. It did not work. Not only did it not delete the connection info, which it was not to back up, but it stil comes up with the same problem

N97 Mini Bluetooth problems

Hi: I have used to have a N86 which worked flawlessly with my 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander Handsfree system. But when I changed my phone to the N97 mini, it pairs fine but doesn't work properly.
When I call manually from the phone, the handsfree takes over and I can carry on conversation with the handsfree.
When I initiate a call from my car's voice activated handsfree bluetooth, nothing happens with the phone. It freezes my handsfree (radio) for two minutes. Then after two minutes, my phone says disconnected from handsfree, then reconnects automatically. I still cannot initiate a call from the car. But i can still call out as aforementioned.
When I receive a call in the car, the handsfree engages my phone as it should. So no problem receiving calls.
Please advise if this is a bug with the N97 becuase I have no problems with the N86.
THanks

Well, - I'm having the same problem as described in the first post. The N97 mini connects flawlessly with some PCs, headsets, and handsfree car systems.
I disagree with the purpose of remote SIM mode as before mentioned. Remote SIM access is to support the rSAP (remote SIM access profile) installed in some premium handsfree systems (like in my Skoda Superb) and basically lets the handsfree system 'steal' your SIM, including PIN etc. over BT for use with its own built in phone.
But in my new Mazda MX-5 I am having trouble to place calls with the handsfree car system. It is not a rSAP capable system and I have tried with and without rSAP in the N97 mini enabled, to no avail.
The N97 mini pairs fine and I can receive incoming calls. Also, I can place calls from the device itself, but when I try to place a call over the car's handsfree system it basically freezes for a few minutes before the car system throws an error. During these minutes I can see on the car display that it looses connection to the phone, albeit the N97 mini still shows connected state. Once these 1 or 2 minutes have passed, the phone shows disconnected, and then reconnects immediately. By experimenting a bit, I found that when I change the BT visibility, from not visible to visible or vice versa, during those minutes, the phone catches up with the number and dials.
And yes, my N97 mini is on the latest FW (12.0.110).
It's a pity that this problem is obviously already so old, that I have little hope Nokia is going to fix it. My old 6600i slide, and my wifes 6131 are working like a charm, unfortunately I need the N97 mini to work for other reasons ...
Despite I don't know if the N8 would work, it's not an option since it's not supported by PC Suite anymore, thus doesn't synchronize with Lotus Notes, which is what I need at work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated ... thanks

Add contact detail to a message Nokia N97 Mini

Hi, I bought a Nokia N97 Mini in January, and I still can't resolve this problem: I don't know how to add a contact detail to the body of any text message. I have had several Nokia phones, for years, and I remember that if you wanted to send a text message, lets say to a friend and this friend asked you for someone else's phone number in order to send it you just start a new message> insert content> contact detail, then you just chose the contact you'd like to send the phone number of and that's it. Now, I can't figure out how to do it with my new phone. Sorry if I sound silly, it's just that I don't know where else to look for. Thnx!

Hi,
I beleive you are using MS Outlook.
Try the following workaround.
Manual sync
Open Nokia Ovi Suite--> Sync--> Sync option--> Uncheck the sync automatically everytime you connect the device.
Then Sync--> Sync now--> Contact,
Repair the "pst" and the "ost" Outlook files as in the following location.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\SCANPST.EXE
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\SCANOST.EXE
Right click the above mentioned exe file and 'Run' it.
NOTE
It's adviced to take a back- up of the user's Outlook folders to avoid any loss of information.
Check with Microsoft support pages for more information.

N97 Mini Texting Issue

I just got a N97 Mini phone yesterday, and it's been working fine. Calling and receiving calls work, and receiving texts works. My network signal is as strong as ever. However, whenever I send text messages, my friends say that they never received any messages. I've sent about 20 messages and none of them has been received. I also saw a post that says that it might be linked to the SMS Memory Full warning. I did have that warning, so I fixed it and the blinking envelope is gone. But people still can't receive my texts, but I can still receive others' texts....
Help???

Operator or Service Provider is one and the same.. Message center is one thru' which the messages are relayed. Contact the operator and ask the settings.. You may even ask them where to enter the details..
before that you may try this..
Messaging-->Options-->Settings-->Text Message...
Message center in use-->SIM Message centre
Message sent as-->Text
Preferred Connection-->GSM
Reply via same centre -->Yes
If this do not help, contact Operator..
