N97 mini key lock problem

Hi there NSeries experts!
I couldn´t find a topic related to my question,
so here´s my post:
I´ve got a little problem with my N97 mini
(type "RM-555" software-version: "11.0.102"):
The key lock button at the side of the phone
does not work properly in my eyes.
Sometimes - yes, it does not show up every
time you use it, only in about 50 % of usage -
when you use the button it works "back and
forth". That means, if you wanna lock the phone
it gets locked and then directly unlocked again,
although the button has only been used once.
Same thing sometimes the other way round:
The phone is locked, the button is used, the
phone unlocks and directely locks itself again.
It is not the worst bug I can imagine but after
a while it is quite annoying.
Does anyone have an idea what this is all
about? Do you think it is more likely some
hardware defect or rather more a software
bug?
Thanks for any help!
If you need further Info about the phone,
software etc. just tell me...
Tom.

Then if you want to try everthing before going to nokia, first try reset *#7370# , backup your data first. Still no success? Reflash with same firmware version via NSU. (back up your data in both cases)

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

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 music player problem

i dont know whats going on but yesterday i was transfering new songs to the phone then suddenly the screen turns black and the phone dead. i took out the battery and restart again but all songs inside the phone gone and i cant transfer any songs now. its shows in the hard drive that still have 700 songs but it says no songs when i pressed on the music player? i tried restarting many times but no use. anyone know how to solve this problem?

Hi,
This same problem is with my n97 mini but not with the music player since I\ve never tried using it. It happens with me when I sometimes open my images or other stuff, the screen goes black and than it restarts itself or it shuts down. Even my WLAN is not working properly ( may something wrong in the settings. Anyways did you tried to update your music playlist on phone?
I think whenever you transfer songs, you will to update the playlist.

N97 Mini Memory Card Problem

I've been having a problem with my N97 Mini since installing a SanDisk 16Gb Memory Card.
When switching on the phone it quite often reboots. It will then work fine.
I also get 'memory full' or 'security module' errors. I can fix the issue by rebooting or ejecting the memory card in the file manager (even though I don't need to physically remove the memory card).
If I remove the memory card it works fine and I can't reproduce the errors.
I tried reformatting the card but it hasn't helped; even though it's blank.
Could it be a problem with the phone hardware, the memory card or the firmware (I'm running v11 on vf uk)?

So I've now switched to a Nokia memory card.
It came in official Nokia packaging, however there's no markings on the memory card or included adaptor that it's made by (or for) Nokia. Having looked online I can see there are other examples of this.
I did wonder if it was genuine!
However it works much much better with my phone.
The Security Module Error has completely gone, it very occasionally does the random reboot on startup, and gives a 'memory full' error, but I think this may be due to an issue with Ovi Maps and the amount of music I have on there.
I will try (another) full reset just to make sure but otherwise the phone's now working well.

Nokia 5310 - key lock problem

I really like this phone but the only problem Im having is when Ive locked the keys (Menu + * key) Im sometimes finding it very slow to unlock as the screen seems to freeze. I have to repeatedly press the central menu key hard until the screen sparks back to life, then i can unlock the keypad again. Im sure this cant be right. Anyone else noticed this?
My firmware is 5.82

I am having the same problem. I want to eliminate the my 5310 Nokia from automatically locking the keys every 45 seconds, it really sucks having to press the unlock. I can't find the solution in the owners manual, so I am trying to
find the answer to remove the key lock. I cannot use a phone if all it does is puts on a keylock automatically.
Can you help me if you find the answer to remove the automatic keylock? I want to eliminte this.
Let me know, thanks
Scott

N70 Auto key-lock problem

I have got an auto key-lock on my phone, however I stupidly changed it and now I cant remember it. I can still receive in coming calls but cant get to any of my phone's main features. I hope you can help. Kind Regards, Gemma.

There was a post made yesterday about this exact problem, but it seems to have been removed...
Anyway, I'd recommend you take it to your nearest Nokia Service Centre
Take some proof of purchase if you can.
There seems to be something wrong with the links... Click the Contact Us link up near the top of the page and follow the instructions to the Service Centres.Message Edited by richcowell on 25-Jul-2006

Nokia N97 Mini Outlook meeting problems

Hello,
On my old HTC windowsphone when i got invite to a meeting in outlook i could see on my phone what ppl are also invited / are joining the meeting. For some reason i cant find this on my new N97 Mini. Is this not supported by this phone or is there a way to enable it?
Regrads,
Florian

AFAIK the calendar on the mini is exactly the same as on other Symbian devices, so that means there is no field for invited people in it. I am not aware of any alternative calendar apps that have what you need.
The inherent difference from your old phone is that WIndowsMobile phones have Mobile Office which includes a Mobile version of Outlook, which contains a lot of the exact same functionalities as the PC version of Outlook. Only WindowsMobile phones have this kind of exact emulation of PC applications. Sad to say though that Windows Mobile Office is yet to be released for Nokia phones. There has been an agreement between Nokia and Microsoft more than a year ago but it still hasnt come into fruitition.
If the feature is extremely important to you, you might want to consider swapping your phone (if your retailer would allow it) to a Samsung B7610 or a Sony Xperia 2 as both runs Windows Mobile and would have Outlook Mobile as well.
Otherwise, I have no knowledge of any possibility of activating the feature in question.

kumar007in, you have to push that button for a second (rather long) while your are within a call, not before the call. Did that help?

5800 key lock problem during phone calls - firmwar...

See previous post that is marked as solved, but is not solved in my case.
I am using Mail for Exchange, my company forces the phone to lock after 10 minutes of idle time.
When I get a phonecall when the phone is locked, there is no way that you can have access tto normal phonecall functions as <Mute> and <Speaker> during a phonecall. And you can not unlock without breaking the call..
Yes when you receive a call ther is a green <answer> and a blue <unlock> slider. Howvever when swipng the <unlock> you can only choose between <answer> and <reject> and there is [Option] that gives you access to <answer> or <reject> aswell.
In other words no access to phone functions, No way you can activate the speaker on the phone when you were called while the phone was locked. This is quite useless and in my opinion a design flaw.

whats stupid that your company has locked the phone in some way?
back up your data and reformatt the phone if you wish this should remove the lock (where ever they got it from we would like to know)
this will take your phone back to out of box condition
try these code below
. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for all operations listed here is 12345
2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone
3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
hard reset - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. )
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

KEY LOCKING problem after updating to belle in e6

after updating to belle, it is difficult to unlock/lock using the trigger... Suppose if the phone is locked, when the trigger i locking pulled, it unlocks for a second and gets locked again.

Reinstall the Firmware and check. I am not ssure about the compatibility, but if you re-install using the NSU may give better results.
Pl. post the results after you do this..

N97 min Ovi maps problem

Can not connect to the Internet in ovi maps, constant error message.
Common Internet works fine without any problems,

N6303 classic
I have a N6303 classic. Using PC Suite and Map Loader I managed to upload the UK maps to my 6303 just after last Christmas. For some crazy reason 2 days ago I downloaded and installed Nokia Ovi Suite and allowed it to update my phone – quite unnecessarily, but it looked like a good idea at the time! The backup failed. It lost various settings, but I was able to reset them. Also it allowed me to download via my PC a selection of maps and load them on to my phone. I then found that the memory card was too full and I wanted to remove some of them...I found I was unable to do this in Ovi Maps, and got the same error message that I lacked an internet connection. (I have broadband, which works fine.) However, PC Suite allowed me to delete all the maps, freeing up some space. Now, neither Ovi Suite nor PC Suite will allow me to connect to the internet via my PC to download, you’ve guessed it, the maps of the UK. The only route seems to be to connect to the internet via my mobile, which I have no need to do and will simply waste money. The maps would be nice to have but aren’t essential and I have absolutely no use for the 6303 as a SatNav, but it is frustrating not to be able to take advantage of what seemed a useful little add-on, having an A-Z of the whole of the UK available for emergency use.
