N97 Mini Homescreen Widgets

Hello
Where can I find replacement homesceen widgets to install on my M97 Mini? In particular I want the RSS feed widget.
The story is:
I used the RSS widget to bring up my Toodledo tasklist on the homescreen. Unfortunately, I messed up the address, and crashed the web feeds. The only way to resolve this was to do a hard reset, which actually tidied up a lot of rubbish off the phone, but seems to have lost some of the homescreen widgets. Ironically, the RSS widget is one of the missing ones, and I can't get my tasklist on my homescreen.

Maybe you need to recreate the web feed again in the native browser, e.g. the BBC News feed in the following way.
select Menu > Web > Options > Go to > Web feeds
select Options > Web feed options > New feed
Set Title = BBC News, Address = http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml, Automatic updates = (desired update interval)
After creating the above web feed, it should be found with name "BBC News" in the Add Content widget list.
If you still cannot find the web feed, it might be that the web feed is already added to the home screen, in that case you cannot see or select it from the list. Try removing the home screen widgets and check if the web feed widget appears in the list after that. Try also creating the feed with another name, in case the old "BBC News" widget name is still in use (even though not visible on the home screen).

N97 Mini Flash Lite Problem

Hey Guys, what happened with me maybe a minor issue but i wanna know how to solve it.
Here's what happened with my N97 mini: I had the flash lite 3.0 installed, so I downloaded The flash lite 3.1(4) from a link i found on Google. Now, when I go to youtube.com on the default symbian browser, I get the first "frame" of the video with sound but without the video; only first "frame" of the video appears. When I tap on the video for Fullscreen the web browser closes by itself and it shows to the homescreen, and something really weird happens: when i hide the widgets and show them again, it does it like i have the theme effects off.. but when i go to theme settings, its actually theme effects on. And it doesnt do the effects again untill i turn my phone off and then turn it on.
On the other hand, I guess this flash lite issue is causing a problem on video playback in realplayer. When I record a video with the camera and play it back, it does it without any problem and the file format is MP4. Though, when i send an MP4 video from my pc to the phone, the playback shows no picture.. just the sound.
Im sorry If I said too much, but i said everything that happened because i wanna know if its really the flash lite's problem.. or its something else?
And either way, whats the solution!? Please Guys I need ur help

A software update shouldn't cause a problem as the phone has data protection, just to be safe back up your contacts, but the phone should be fine anyway, simply re-install the software with Nokia Software Updater, and hoprfuly it will resolve your problem, if not , contact a Nokia Care Point, whatever the case , the phone definitely won't be any worse for a software install.
Good Luck

Help ota on n97 mini

Hello i am trying to update my n97 mini via ota but it just says checking for updates for ages ;is there a special server setting for ota or something please help im on three network

The answer is correct, however the answer for 2 is the 'breathing light' which is arround your menu button, if you go Menu-settings-phone-Notification lights-Standby br.light make sure it's set to ON. Then in Notification light set the period of time you want it to 'blink' and tick the events you want to be notified of !
For 3 there are only two shortcut widgets, but you can 'optimise' them by using apps that perform multi function, ie I have messaging (not txt or email) as one so I can get to all messaging facilities direct from home screen, Opera mini gives instant access to 9 pre chosen web sites (I have FB and Twitter amongst mine) and Snaptu , which offers a multitude of 'applicatios' direct to your homescreen !!
Good Luck

N97 mini - Cannot login to Twitter or my Webmail A...

why is it, that with my brand new super cool :-) N97 mini I cannot login to my Twitter Account nor to my Webmail Account?
Both would not recognize my User ID oder my Password?
What should I do? Ist a question of settings? I allowed already basically everything..
Thanks

Hi, firstly can we assume that the handset will connect to the web with the standard web browser. If so all you need to do is enter your login and password correctly and they will work just as they would on a PC. Suggest you use non-predictive txt and enter very carefully, particulaly on password. Also suggeat trying the new Nokia social messaging client from Nokia beta labs, works well for twitter and facebook and works as a widget on your homescreen. Also you may find logins to be easier to enter with QWERTY keyboard. If the phone will not login to any site at all, then you need to return to supplier.
Good Luck

N97 Mini: Compatibility issues with Original N97 W...

As of late, I've been trying to load up my N97 Mini with some new widgets. To my dismay, many of the apps I have found in Ovi will NOT work with the N97 Mini: 90% of the widgets won't be available when I search through the phone's client or through Ovi's online portion. I even tried to change my mobile device to an original N97 in my account settings (of course, scores more widgets show up in searches) and send them to the phone via SMS, but it still shows the message that my device is not compatible.
What gives? The phones are almost exactly the same! Why can I not see/download the same app and widgets?

Which apps do you want ? Ovi is not the only source. Check out Daily Mobile Forum, Nokiausers and GetJar, for a start and contact Ovi to question compatibility. Also can I suggest Googling- Opera mini 5 Beta 2 and Snaptu, both useful to have as shortcuts on your homescreen. Hope this helps and good luck.
Oh, I'm well aware Ovi isn't the only place, but it's annoying to read about a specific widget only to find it won't work with my device. I have stuff from all over the place, but I wouldn't mind a download from Ovi every once and a while
Edit: To explicate my point, I simply don't have the options that the N97 does in terms of widgets. It's rather annoying, especially considering the similar nature of the Mini and the N97.

N97 mini - blank/unresponsive home screen & nokia ...

I have been having problems with my Nokia N97 mini. It froze yesterday, and I removed and re-installed the battery to restart the phone. When the phone came back on, the email widget had changed from Nokia email to the messaging email option (the one that you get under the messaging icon - it doesn't download in real time and rarely downloads the full message).
It froze again and I had to re-start it again, and this time, the home screen went completely blank. It either shows the little boxes for the various widgets (they're empty), or the screen is completely blank. Occasionally the screensaver (slideshow of images) comes on. The home screen is completely unresponsive, and the only way I can get the phone to function is by pressing the menu button and navigating from there.
I have tried to re-load my nokia email so as to fix the email problem, but whenever I go to the "Email setup" or "Sett. Wizard/Email" options (under applications) the phone freezes.
I should point out that my phone downloaded Nokia Messaging 10.2 today, and the update history section says that the update was successful, but I'm still having serious difficulties.
I have tried restoring factory settings, but that didn't help. I'm seriously considering trying a hard reset of my phone but am unable to back up my information using Nokia Ovi Suite.
Does anyone have any suggestions re how I can start enjoying my beautiful phone again?

I would recommend trying the hard reset. If you can't backup using Ovi Suite you could trying either synching your phone with Ovi Suite or MS outlook or backing up to a memory card. Better still do all the above to be sure.

N97 Mini questions

Hi Ive just got a few questions
is there a way to turn the vibration off for when you lock the keys using the slide button but keep vibration fr when receiving alerts?
is there a way to increase the vibration so its more noticable?
Is there a way to have the battery life show as a percentage rather then as bars on the homescreen?
Is there a way to increase batterry life?
Is there an emergency charger that is compatible with the N97 mini ?
I have seen small memory cards such as these http://www.foneshop.com/nokia/n97-mini/memory-cards/sandisk-16gb-micro-sd-transflash-memory-card
are these the type that are used in N97 minis?
My n97 mini currently has an 8GB memory card i believe, can I install a 16GB card into it? will that effect anything badly?
How would I go about that? Is there an easy way to transfer all the data between those memory cards?
Is there an application for the N97 mini that will track busses (i live in York UK so i would mostly be interested in busses there)

Well I only got the phone yesterday, so I'm not exactly an expert ;-)
But some I can answer.
Battery life. If you're not using the features, consider keeping WLAN and BlueTooth OFF. Dont check mail automatically too often (and perhaps only in daytime) et cetera
The phone is charged through a standard micro-usb-plug. So should be easy to find alternative chargers.
Yep, thats the type. Standard Micro-sd(hc) ...alias transflash
The 8GB is build in mem, not a card. So YES a 16GBworks and is usefull, and supplements the 8Gb, giving you a total of 24Gb.
Plain files (Like photos, videos, mp3's) can be transfered e.g. by standard windows if connected in mass storage mode. Some apps (Like Ovi maps, needs to be told the prefered storage location in the app-settings)
And on the vibration, I dont think there is much hope on the extremely (close to useless) weak vibrator. I THINK it's due to a conventinal placement on a slim body.

N97 mini can't recognize m4a file?

I had my n97 mini updated to the lastest software. I used nero to make a m4a music file (the encodec is eaac+, that is, HE-ACC v2) and transfered it to my n97 mini, via ovi suite sync.
Then I found that I can't play it in the music application: It just can't find the file in the music library. Though I can use it as a ringtone (or a alarm clock sound) and it can be played normally.
Could anyone shed some light on this?

Yep, I checked everything you mentioned and it was all set as you suggested. But I took the battery out and left it for a min., restarted and it now isn't connecting through WiFi, result!! It was a very odd one this problem, thanks for the info........as far as Homescreen Options go I've gone to the Help option and it states "The available options may vary" which might explain the differences between handsets.
Again, apologies for cross-posting but has anyone found a way ot update the firmware with Code: 0591336 (Voda branded)? Nokia website states firmware to be 11.0.*.*.* but via Software Updater and also Ovi Suite it's only showning 10.0.*.*.* I do know Vodafone have released their branded version of this update but it still updates through Software Updater so I'm back to square one.....any thoughts?

N97 mini - customisation of bookmark's icons on ho...

Hello,
on N97 mini it is possible to put shortcut for internet bookmark on the home screen. However, I don't know, how it is possible to change the icon which is automatically set to the sheet of paper with the globe? Is this possible at all?
Thanks for help!
cisreli

Hi, not unless you can get someone to build you a custom theme, but try installing and saving Opera mini as a shortcut and it will give you 90% of what you want
http://www.opera.com/mobile/
Snaptu will do a similar thing
http://www.snaptu.com/download
I have both as homescreen shotcuts and use them all the time

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.

Irregular N97 Mini screen issue?

I have had my N97 Mini for nearly two years. In that time, it has been a fairly trouble-free device. A few times it has seized, had some issues, and about 18 months ago the touch screen stopped working -- but it was repaired, and I have had no issues since. Until now.
About a week ago, my phone's screen started behaving oddly. I can't really describe it -- the display would overwhelm with static, it would distort irregularly... to describe the visuals, it looked a lot like interference. Flashes of green, things like that. I could, at times, see my homescreen background. But it would disappear as quickly as it came.
Even now, it is still responsive; the phone charges, responds to USB connection, and when I swipe the screen I can feel the vibrations of my homescreen content. When I flip it out, the keys still light up. Everything works fine.
I have not dropped my phone.
About a week or so prior to these complications, it was raining; a couple of droplets go on the screen but I cleaned them away. As far as I know, the phone was relatively dry; though if it was water damage, would it have responded sooner than a week after the phone was touched by water?
I honestly don't know what its problem is, how to fix it, what to do. Any suggestions or likely causes?

Suggest you to back-up your important data as soon as possible (if not yet done...) before something drastic happens. The effects of water damaged can be immediate to over a period of few monts, depending on how much water has gone inside and what parts were directly affected ... Get the phone inspected at Nokia care if you want but preferably opt for a new phone ...

N97 mini firmware update seriously needed

hi all,
Its been ages of waiting for a new update for the N97 and N97 mini, one which would do at least the following:
(1) better UI
(2) new and better browser with the latest flash support
(3) freer space on the RAM
(4) a social app for IM like facebook, twitter, myspace e.t.c
(5) smileys in our Instant messaging (fed up with words like smileysad)
(6) a UI that wouldnt use up batteries so fast

Quickly I want a help with my nokia n97 mini at th...

hello my nokia n97 mini freezes when i turn on my phone when the nokia screen appear usually at the beginning it freezes why? and How i can solve this problem i need a help now please

I understand you correct if it stops booting before you reach the homescreen?
Do you have a memorycard? - You should pull that out and make sure that the memory card isn't causing the issue?
Could it be any apps you have installed?
What FW are you on?
There are lots of things you can do to try to sort this out.
What I would do is to get it updated if possible, if you cannot or are on the latest one and have no clue, do a soft reset and a format of the memorycard and mass storage and rebuild the phone. First with your contacts, messages, music etc, and then with apps. Monitor carefaully how the phone behaves after 3rd party apps you install. - In that way you will have better chances of knowing what may cause problems in the future, and there wont likely be necessary to soft or hard reset it again.
Note that you will have to back up your content before you perform a soft or hard reset as this will wipe your phone memory, same with a format of the memorycard or the mass storage.
If you cannot get the phone on at all, try removing the battery for at least 5 min before putting it back together and try turning it on. - You could also try removing the memcard if you have one.
Do you know how to check for fw updates?

N97 mini connectivity issues

How do i make N97 mini connect to wi-fi automatically when i'm at home and packet network (3G etc.) when no wi-fi is available? Also how to make it prompt before connecting to packet network, as i get charged for it?
This phone has got a mind of its own at the moment, Facebook widget tries to connect to packet network even when an existing wi-fi connection is extablished (and spotify is using it). I get a beep every time it fails...very annoying!!!
In fact ALL widgets try to establish a packet connection when there's no need and i simply cannot change any settings to make this device work sanely.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your replies.
I have gone into Settings > Connectivity > Destinations. There are two access points under "Internet - "BeBox" (Wi-fi) and "O2 mobile Web". Now if i click on wi-fi > Options > Organise > Change Priority, the phone gives two options at the bottom of the screen - "OK" and "Cancel". I click OK. Nothing happens. Wi-fi still priority: 2, O2 mobile Web priority: 1. Tried many times, can't change it. Am i doing something wrong?
Also i set the Wi-fi to "Use Access Point: After Confirmation" from within Destination > Internet > Wi-fi connection > Options > Edit. However given about 30 seconds the phone has connected again to the wi-fi as seen in "WLAN" where it says "Connected to BeBox" (my wi-fi). But it never promted me if i wanted it to connect?? Of course i realise that it connected again also if i try to edit it again where it says "Access point is currently in use: Unable to Edit".
Previous to these changes described above i had set the home screen to "Content to offline mode". No other applications are open. If i set the home screen to "Online mode" i get repetetive error messages "Internet: Unable to connect, try again" which are sometimes very frequent so thai can't interact with the phone until they've stopped. Even with wi-fi at priority: 2, the phone does not attempt to connect to wi-fi once the "O2 mobile web connection" fails, it simply gives this error message. This happens even when there is an active and current connection to "BeBox" under "Connections. i.e. a good wi-fi connection.
I don't understand what this phone is going, i would really appreciate your knowledge and advice because this device behaving unlike anything i've ever used.
(I do intend to get the bolt-on etc at some point but at the end of the day i'd still like to know what my phone is doing and when.)
Thanks in advance.
