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.

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 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

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.

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 headset issues

I need to use a headset with my N97 mini as I do a lot of driving so I purchased a Bluetrek headset.
I paired the device and everything was ok, the headset icon was on on the phone. However when I make a call, the sound still comes through the handset rather than the headset. I then got a friend to ring me and I answered via the headset, however the sound still came through the handset.
I thought it might be a faulty headset so I tried the standard wired headset you get with the phone, this did the same. The sound was still coming through the handset.
Any ideas?? is it my settings or do you think the phone is faulty?
Thanks

Is your phone branded or vanilla? I've got a vanilla (no logos, provider services nothing, just APs) and I don't have this problem.

N97 mini language support?

For the menues the phone comes with alternative language packs, eg. German/English/French/Italian and Turkish. Another alternative is the scandinavian package. These languages ar for the menues.
Question 1. Can the keyboard layout be soft switched between e.g. qwerty/qwertz(German)/qwerty.norwegian etc? how?
Question 2. Can the speller be se to different languages?

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 - niggling issues I want fixed but can't ...

Is there some kind of nokia hotline I can call that isn't going to cost me?
I am facing a number of niggling little issues (Some i have posted on here with no reply). Biggest ones:
- Music purchased from Ovi music. If i leave the song on the music widget for a while then come back later and play it, it doesn't play. I have to select a different song then go back and select the song i want to listen to.
-The phone beeps every now and then. Not often enough to be able to time it but often enough to know it's happening. Could this be the exchange server updating maybe? I don't know cause there's noone to ask. This is particularly noticable when listening to podcasts as the sound on the podcast goes down, phone beeps then the sound comes back up.
These are the two main issues I am having at the moment and would appreciate any advice anyone has.
My other problems are Ovi Music software related (the pc one) so I will post those elsewhere. It seems hard to justify to everyone around me why I have a nokia and not an iphone or something. I really don't like the whole iphone thing but all these little issues are things that you don't get on other phones. Seems that nokia's have great hardware but really **bleep** software. Or is that just me?
Thanks,
J

* beep * I have the same problem, already mailed Nokia support team and have no problem with ovi things because I don't use it. I also have no new applications installed or open programs, I rarely use the music features of the phone and only have Sygic Mobile maps 10 installed, but the beep does not come from that program since it is only in use while navigating and switched off to save battery life, no Bluetooth enabled, no gps in use, latest firmware according the SW-upgrade service. The problem came "out of the blue" and no other software is installed. Tried 2 different providers because I also own a HTC Touch Pro 2 with Hi and Telfort so swapped the sim cards but the problem still occurs. The beep also occurs when another profile like "silent" is in use. I am quite frustrated about it since it interrupts me my sleeping hours constantly. When nokia answers my question, I will translate it and post it here since I am from the Netherlands and probably will get a response in Dutch.

N97 mini USB issues

Hello
I have never used the USB port before but now when I need it it doesn't work.It just charges the phone but it doesn't connect to the PC
I have tested 3 phones(N900,HTC Desire HD and my N97m), 2 USB cables(CA-101 and an unknown cable) 2 PCs and 1 PS2(PlayStation2)
N900 and HTC successfully connect to the first PC(the PC I'm writing now) with both of the cables
N900 successfully connects to the second PC with the unknown cable
My N97m is unable to connect to the first PC with both of the cables but it charges normally.
Also it is unable to connect to the second PC with the unknown cable but it charges normally.
BUT when I connect it with the unknow cable to the PS2 it connects and asks me for connection type(OVI,Mass Storage..)!
I tried to
1.Restart the phone
2.Soft,Hard & Master reset
3.Different USB ports
4.Turning off the phone, plug the cable(starts charging) and turn on the phone
5.Installing/Uninstalling/Reinstalling Nokia Suite and Nokia PC Suite
and nothing seems to work
Can anyone help me please?

thetao wrote:
I don't know how much help I can be, but this is one of the more interesting problems I've seen. Since you are seeing the Ovi Suite/Mass Storage/etc. menu with the PS2, we know it does work. It would seem there's some strange phone <-> Windows interplay going on. A couple suggestions:
1) Is the OS on both PC's the same? If you haven't tested on a non-Vista/7 box, that could be revealing.
2) Have you tested on either PC *without* any Nokia software installed? You don't need software for Mass Storage mode. The memory card will appear as any removable drive. Remove the Nokia software, download and run PC Suite Cleaner (do a web search), reboot, then test with the unknown cable. (Good job with the various tests, BTW! )
3) While it shouldn't ever affect the appearance of the menu, there should be some small programs installed on the phone (even after a hard reset) designed to facilitate the features of Ovi/Nokia Suite. While I don't know exactly what gets installed for 5th Edition phones, you can safely remove Service Controllers and anything called "...DS Plugin". Reboot and when the phone <-> Windows interaction finally gets working, Nokia Suite will reinstall these pieces.
4) Keep in mind there's an entire Nokia Suite forum here devoted to issues with that software package.
I hope that helps!
Thanks for the reply!
Now after the resets when I plug-in the cable
PC:No USB icon on top of the screen| no conn.menu| Settings->Connectivity->USB shows 'Not connected'
PS2:No USB icon on top of the screen| no conn.menu| Settings->Connectivity->USB shows the mode I have chosen. (! In mass storage mode theme changes to default)
1. The first PC(this PC) is running Win7 with latest updates the other PC I described is running XP. I have tested on Linux and the result is...the same :\
2. On this PC, first, I tried when no Suite was installed then I thought this is the problem and I installed it but again no result
On the other PC(XP) i tried only without the Suite
3. I dont know what should I search for but I dont have any 'service controllers' nor 'DS plugin'
4.I think the problem is the phone not the PCs/cables and thats why I made a new thread
