N97 Mini issues

Got a Nokia n97 mini a few days back and facing a load of issues with it. Worst phone ive ever picked up from Nokia.
1. Phone resets on its own atleast thrice a day. The reset happens when the phone is lying on my desk and im not even using it
2. phone hangs after i disconnect from an incoming call
3. Widgets keep disappearing from the home screen after a call or when i unlock the phone.
Has anyone got solutions to the above issues?
Im using the firmware 11.0.102 and the software updater says this is the latest and wont even let me renstall it!  HELP

Phone rebooting is quite often caused by an old or faulty sim card. If your sim is old you should try getting a new one from your network. Otherwise you could try it with a new sim from a friend or something.
V11 is the current version for the N97 Mini. Lucky you because it isn't even available for mine yet. I am still on V10. Software will only give you the option to reinstall if you previously updated using the updater. It won;t allow you to reinstall the firmware that was shipped with the phone.

  • N97 MINI - Issues connecting with Bury CC9060 Cark...

    Hi, 
    I have an issue connecting my N97 mini with Bury CC9060 car kit. I am able to pair the device with the Car kit, but after a minute there will be a message pop-up in the car kit display says, "disconnected" (The connection with the Car kit & my Nokia N97 mini is lost). Still on my Nokia N97-mini display I can see the car symbol (as if like it is connected with the Car kit).
    But now if I am receiving or making a call, I am not able to hear the audio (both I/c and o/g) either from the device or from the car kit. The only way is to switch off and on my N97 mini (reboot) to get the audio via my phone.Here I would like to know if there any thing can be done from to solve this issue (Is there any compatibility issues with Nokia N97 and Bury CC9060?)
    Note: Bury 9060 is updated with the latest SW and my device also is having the latest SW (10.0.020)
    Please advice,

    Hi All
    I am having similar problems with my E72 phone. It disonnects and reconnects from the Bury every minute or so and causes the Bury to reboot sometimes. If I am in a call I get a loud squeal and then it drops.  When I first had the E72 it worked ok for the first few weeks and then started having the issues. Then the phone was replaced due to an upgrade problem and the new phone was ok for a couple of weeks but has now started doing it again. I have tested the Bury with other phones and all is ok. Just about to upgrade the Bury and see if that makes a difference. Its very distracting when you are driving so i have to deselect the phone.

  • N97 mini issues after software update

    Hi,
    I updated software on my phone at previous week. Since that time only problems! Phone always ask for conncetion to the internet. It simply lie on the table with locked screen, but when I unlock them I see dialog "select conncetion". Part of applications cannot work and simply close automatically, like OVI and Opera. Very often I see error with "not enouhg memory". I tried full reset and software reinstall but nothing changed situation ongoing.

    also I found today, that is a application called MMS always ask for connection. Anybody knows something about that application?

  • N97 mini USB cable connectivity issue

    Hello all,
    I've tried to connect my N97 mini with the micro USB cable, and it seems not to work. 
    When I connect the device, It asks me to pick PC Suite, I choose it, but then, when it tries to install the phone on my laptop, it just doesn't work, and it says that the hardware might not work ok.
    I have uninstalled and installed Ovi Suite 2 times, I have resetted the phone and it doesn't work.
    It worked first with Bluetooth, but now that I try again, it just doesn't work anymore.
    Please let me know what I can do.
    Thank you!

    Same issue here. Reset phone, cleaned and reinstalled all software but no success.
    I tried the cable with different nokia models and it works fine, it is definitely a N97 mini issue.
    Waiting for a firmware update to get this really basic function

  • 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 LCD issue

    By mistake I kept my N97 mini in back pocket of my jeans and kept sitting for around an hour !! I believe that LCD was facing my body while it was in pocket. I assume it got pressed by body weight and now touch is not working properly, specially lower part of lcd. Do I need to take it to Nokia care or do I have any other option ?

    If you are sure that the issue started after that then most probably its related to Hardware and its best to visit Nokia care... but before you do that back-up your data as in all probability this will be wiped-off during the repairs...

  • N97 mini software issues

    It has been a week since I purchased a new N97 mini and I had to restart it almost 20 times since then.
    Here are the issues I see with this phone, Iam not sure if it is software/hardware/memory issue:
    1. After downloading music from nokia music store, music player doesnot respond to the refresh music library and if you persistent in forcing it to refresh, phone freezes and you will have to literally take the battery out. The issue when I looked at a little more in this case is, whenever music files are stored in anyother directory then Music in the Mass memory, software has issues in refreshing library.
    2. To come around the above issue I downloaded music to my PC and stored in Music directory in Mass memory, now there is second issue that came up.....This time it refreshes fine, but when switching between two albums in the library phone freezes again, and being persistent again in this case will make the phone freeze to the worst possible extent where in you will not be able to receive any phone calls and you will have to remove the battery and restart it.
    3. To come around the above two, I started playing music from file manager by opening the file, and bingo there is a problem here as well, file manager freezes to death....
    I didnot approach Nokia service yet, and am exploring if there is a solution to the above mentioned issues.....
    In case you have faced similar issues and found a solution, plz help me, so that I dont have to take my brand new phone to the service centre.....
    Pradeep

    Hi, firstly I only ever drag and dop mp3 music onto my hard drive and usually fine, did have a refresh problem after update recently and did this (may help you) also if you;ve downloaded a lot of data lately, try cearing privacy data on phones web browser , you may have used a lot of RAM which could cause phone to slow down or freeze.

  • N97 mini, CK-200, Nokia Battery Monitor 1.3 - issu...

    Hej! When Nokia Battery Monitor is installed on my N97 mini, I cannot make or recive calls on my Nokia CK-200 via Bluetooth, because the other party does not hear my voice. When uninstalling the application, the problem is gone. I have the latest firmware on everything. Please advise. LVPVS

    As there is nothing that the User can do to set anything in the NBM application.. this may be a Bug that needs to be reported. I am afraid the application is no more Beta.. so reporting at Nokia Beta Labs may / may not serve the purpose.. but you may contact Nokia by using the 'Contact Us' tab at the top of this page and find out the proper channel to report the issue...

  • N97 mini WLAN-Issues after 12.0.110-Update

    Never had issues with WLAN-connection on old fw. Did switch off-on already both, the WLAN-Router and the N97mini. Do not want to make a reset because then i have to re-install everything again......
    I can usually connect once, for a short time, for one action. (Like synch Favourites with OVI-Maps). After that no chance any more for several minutes.
    When i go to connectivity-wlan it says "no wlan available", even after rescan.
    I simply have to wait for half an hour, then i can connect again, for one action.
    Anybody having the same issue?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Same problem here.  Just upgraded to the N97 Mini from the E61.
    I first noticed it in the pre-installed Podcasting (which I listen to 2+ hours a day).  Downloads seem to hang after about 10-15 meg of the download is complete.  I then noticed it in Ovi when trying to download a video and it would hang during the download as well.
    In Podcasting, I have to keep the connection manager open so I can disconnect the connection, then reconnect again in Podcasting.  It is very frustrating as an hour long podcast takes three cycles to complete!  Please help us Nokia!
    In Ovi - you just can not download large files.
    BTW - I have a D-Link Router in case there seems to be some type of compatibility issue?  No way to test on another WLAN connection at this point.
    This is the only major issue that I have identified so far since owning the phone (unless one counts that the phone is absent an automatic polisher/fingerprint remover).
    Patient for now - waited to buy this phone instead of getting an eye-moan.  Please fix the WLAN issue.

  • N97-mini multiple issues

    Hi,
    My phone has multiple problems and I believe by reading the forums that these issues are common to most devices of the same kind. It's a N97-mini, less than a year old and up-to-date (as far as I can remember, because today it decided not to boot anymore).
    - First the battery level is not accurate - it nearly goes from full charge directly to empty. Yesterday evening it was charged, this morning it was down. Helpful when you want to use the alarm. And tips for saving battery lifetime are simply **bleep** - what's the point of having a smartphone if you can't use any of the typical smartphones' features? Why would I disable GPRS or Bluetooth on such device?
    - Second, I have been unable to boot it today. It has been charging for the whole day now, and keeps beeping from times to times, but I have not been able to turn it on. The power button has no effect. Removing battery and putting it back won't help. Any other method would be appreciated.
    - Third, the Bluetooth works very badly - my Jabra headset simply causes the phone to reboot, while my car's bluetooth makes it freeze. I go without now, the power saving advice was actually right...
    - Last the RAM is insufficient. Even after a fresh reboot, I'm unable to use most applications. Even email polling stops after a while, saying the memory is full. But there is no application running except for the operating system. I'm not even using the browser. Again, not point of having a smartphone when you can't get emails with it.
    I was a Nokia fan before, had a N95 for years with very good experience. Compared to my N97, the N95 was amazing. It had bugs but I knew the workarounds and could rely on it eventually. In my opinion, the N97-mini is a total failure but unfortunately I cannot afford to buy something else. I would appreciate any tip on how to make it boot, at least.
    Sigh.

    Hi, for message storage, it's a tait of Nokia phones, thet after connection by usb that the storage point will revert to C, so when I disconnect my phone from computer I always check it's still set to E.
    As for apps, there are loads of sources other than Ovi, try Getjar .com, you can download to computer and just drag and drop.
    As for ovi store, I don't use the app, I simplyuse web browser to go there (it keeps trying to make you install ovi store but ignore it, just select exit.) find the app you want log in and download.
    Hope this helps
    Good Luck
    PS you can remove apps by selecting organise in the apps folder, tap/highlite the app you want to remove and select option-remove

  • N97 Mini connectivity issues (WLAN & GPRS)

    Hello everyone,
    I am facing some connectivity issues with my brand new N97 mini.
    1- I cant change the "preferred" WLAN access point.
    I could surf without any problem at work during the week. Now, at home, I am no longer able to use it. Although I connect through my WLAN, whenever I use a program which require internet connection, I get a message "Connecting through NAME OF THE WLAN AT WORK" and it returns an error.
    2- The same happens when I am outdoors. Although it connects with the GPRS, I am not able to use the internet as it says  "Connecting through NAME OF THE WLAN AT WORK" and it returns an error.
    I would really appreciate your support!
    Thanks in advance

    Change the accesspoint settings in the apps that need a connection to always ask.

  • Issues with n97 mini

    heyy guys, if u guys are having issues with your n97 mini, lets share them here. as for mine, the issues im having right now are the light time out and music player.
    - the light time out sometimes doesnt work as it should be, and i think it has to do with camera/video recording apps. lets say at first it would work fine, then if i start video recorder and record videos, and after closing the app, light time out wont work. i have to start video recorder again and close it, then light time out would work again.
    - miscalculation of songs under artist's label. lets say i have only one song under Green Day band, but when i look at Green Day tab, it would state 2 songs. then when i click on it, it'll show album title, and there it will show only one song. however this doesnt occur to all artist's label, just few of them.
    so far that are issues im having, hopefully these would be fixed with new update. too bad the v11 firmware is still not available over here.

    I'm probably in the minority here, but I have had my N97 mini now for 3 full months and it has yet to freeze.  Sure there have been some abrupt application shut-downs (the std browser in v10.20 was notorious for that), but the latest v11 f/w has reduced that considerably.  I've never had a reason to remove the battery to flush memory, although I've done it maybe 2 or 3 times.
    I read news on it daily, use GPS often(Ovi Maps, Google Maps, Sports Tracker), sync to ms-exchange for calendar, tasks and email, watch videos, listen to music (local and net), read books, check weather, stocks etc., etc. and the phone works well.  I rarely run more than 1 application at a time and do not keep apps open in the background, so memory is always available.
    Overall, I really like the phone (oh yeah, it does voice calls too).  Keyboard works well, is well built, battery is decent, and it is small and light.  I am hoping for new functionality (like the second home screen for more shortcuts/widgets), a way to turn off those annoying "are you sure" messages (I'm a big boy, I know that when a connection is made it might cost me money), and HTML Nokia Messaging app. (version 3.0 is coming, but when?).
    Anyway, just sharing my perspective.  I've been working with computers and electronics since the early 80's and these modern smartphones are incredible for their size, runtime, and what they can do.  The N97/N97 mini is no exception.

  • N97 mini language issue

    I bought the N97 mini in Australia, in which the default language is Engliash. Since the N97 is not only a mobile phone, it is also a "net book" to browse internet. It is really frustrated that the handset does not support non-English. Can I  install other language package?

    Language packs are not available to end user to install themselves , only a Nokia care point can do it. So please visit your nearest Nokia care point and let them do it for you.

  • 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..

  • 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.
