N97 mini Wifi problems

For normal surfing the wifi works fine, but when I want to use the Facebook app it won't connect to the wifi that is available. For some reason it automatically disconnects the wifi and uses the 3g, which if there is a wifi source available I would rather use the free wifi than the 3g which obviously costs.
Is there anything I need to do or is the phone faulty?
Thanks in advance.

Go to settings-connectivity-destinations-internet-options-organise-change priority and set wifi as priority 1, sevice provider as 2 etc. Phone will then use fifi when available and move down the list when it'ts not available. If away from home and near a wifi hot spot, goto connectivity and search for wifi and connect.
Good Luck

N97 Mini internet problems

Have had an N95 8 Gb for 2 years now, a mega fine phone. I was a litte bit confused, when I this week got my N97 Mini, I have had much problems with the phone trying to get it to connect to internet. I often get a message with " unlegal servername" when I try to connect to internet both when I connect to an wifi at home, or the gprs.
I had 1 day when it almost was ok, but that then it suddenly fell out again...
It can connect, and open a site sometimes, but it hung up afterwords, and nothing happends. Then I have to exit from internet, and then try again. But it is not stabile at all...
Anybody who have a tips to help me ?
After all these years with SE, i suddenly got a N95 8Gb. And now I begin to like it!!

Does anybody know, when it is a newer software for N97 Mini ? I have discover some problems with the phone, and some functions I really misses from my old N95 8 Gb..
When you receive a MMS, you can not choose to answer the MMS with an SMS, you must quit, then make an SMS to the person you received the MMS from, that`s a good step bacwords..
There ar altso a lot of functions in the camera part, thats gone, you can`t adjust a picture to 5x7" anymore, only manuel cutting of the pictures or set as background.

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

Ipad mini wifi problems

I've changed my wifi password, but my ipad mini still remember the old one. Therefore, I cannot connect to wifi, but my mac book is okay with it. I tried to reset the internet settings, but my ipad mini doesn't allow me to verify my password!

The wifi password is usually printed on the router's label.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

IPad mini wifi problems since Yosemite Upgraded

SInce upgrading to Yosemite on my iPad 2 Mini, the wifi has slowed massively! Is there a fix?
thanks!

First of all, I would be totally impressed if you managed to install Yosemite on your iPad. I can only assume you didn't mean that.
Here is a link to some tricks that have worked for other people.

New N97 Mini: Camera Problem

Hi!
I just bought an N97 Mini and have been having problems with the camera.
Whenever I use the camera, it works fine until I am done with it and close the application. When I immediately need to use the camera again, the camera application shows a black screen, with then normal camera controls still present (though unresponsive). It is frozen.
I have already performed the hard reset and other measures mentioned by folks here. I have also completed the latest firmware update.
What else can I do? Is there an upcoming firmware fix for this?
Thank you

Got the same problem black screen, unresponsive. Restart phone works ok, once. Maybe the problem is adressed in later firmware but no update is available for my version still on 10.02.020, does anybody know?

N97 mini Major Problems

found two major problem or blunders that is too too much annoying.
First:: when come out of range of the wireless network it will pop up again and again "Do you want to enable......" not letting you to select any thing. if I select Yes or No it should not pop up again.
2nd :: contact list to view any number there is no option just to view number. to write down number you have just to edit the contact just to see numbers.
if there is any solution here please let me know.

Google 786:
I have exactly the same problem as you (the first one) ... My N97 mini is also trying to connect to wireless networks, even though I turned off the network scanning ...
It's not a problem when I'm home, but when I go away somewhere, the phone beeps every time it does not find a network. It is simply impossible to turn this off ... or is it?
Sometimes it stops trying to connect to a network when I reboot the phone, but this is about every third / fourth time ... There are many reboots to get it work ... Too many ...
Can someone (please) tell me what the problem is and how to fix it? I bought my phone two days ago and already want to throw it in the garbage.

N97 mini Keyboard Problems

When I'm using the slide keyboard, randomly the letter "r" when pressed, opens the camera. Letters "F" , "U" and "I" dont work........If the camera is opened If i press "f" and then "r" it takes a picture. A can solve this by turning OFF the phone and taking out the battery and the reinstalling and turning ON. But is really annoying to do this every 5 minutes. Does anyone know how to solve this problem definitely?? I've tried hard reset and won't work.

Does anybody know, when it is a newer software for N97 Mini ? I have discover some problems with the phone, and some functions I really misses from my old N95 8 Gb..

N97 Mini Lotsa problems.

FOR ONE I HAVE DECIDED TO STOP BUYING NOKIA PHONES.
I HAVE HAD A TERRIBLE TIME WITH N97 MINI SINCE THE FIRST WEEK OF PURCHASE.
Now I am facing problems in uninstalling apps and backing up my messages.
THIS SUCKS BIG TIME.

Hi, try using Ovi Suite and simply sync contacts and messages once a week, then all your messages will be saved on your computer, Ifind it reliable and easy ! Also , where are you saving your messages to, suggest you set it to E mass memory Messaging-options-settings-other-set to E, if you clear a bit of space on C you should then be able to manage Application manager, you can also delete apps from the application folder select options-organise then highlight the app you want to delete and select delete .

N97 Mini Charger Problem

Hi there,
I want to know if anyone else have the same problem as I?
I bought the phone about 3 weeks now, and been through all the crashes, frustrations and pulling my hair out. I am pretty much over that stage already.
But here comes my next problem that is very close for me to actually throw it out of my apartment.
The phone charger that comes with the phone DOESN'T WORK!
It never worked from the start, and I had to use the USB charger from my computer to N97 Mini.
Okay, so that may be a solution. However, I am travelling abroad for a conference soon. How am I suppose to bring my computer along with USB charger and everything if I was to travel light -___-
For those people who is going ot suggest, try and plug the USB charger to other computer. Here is the problem. I've tried my entire office computers after office hour. ONLY 1 computer manage to charge for 1 hr before it 'automatically' disconnects. The rest only recognize the PC suit and Mass memory... but NOT the charging *arghhhhh*
Any solutions?

you can buy a charger like mine when i lost my n97 mini charger all you do is get a port thing where you insert your computer cable into a usb port thing then at the end there is a port where there is to put it in the eletric look at the picture attached.

N97 Mini screen problem

Hi all
I just got a brand new N97 mini via a private sale, i was just wondering if anyone had experienced the same issue i have
The bottom of the screen is showing the white backlight in a thin strip across the bottom where the screen is supposed to be
so in otherwords i have a screen that is maybe 0.2mm too short so the backlight is showing ? does this make sense ?
i can only get rid of it by tilting the phone forward so im viewing at a different angle
Is this one for a nokia care point?
any advice welcome
thanks alot

Without seeing the phone it's difficult to advise, and sounds like a physical problem to refer to Nokia Care Centre, however you could try installing a new theme, if the line dissappears just carry on using the phone !
Try here, I've used loads without a problem:

N97 mini maps problem !

hi all, i have a n97 mini and i hard formated it then i loaded all software now i can't enter my maps, after i open, it s closing in 1-2 seconds i don't understand what's going on :/ pls help help help me

@behzatkara
Welcome to the forum!
Regrettably neither of the two previous posts appear to address your issue with one under the misapprehension that you are using N97 where phone memory is certainly a problem instead of N97 Mini in question.
It is more likely here that you have corrupt map data, which is the commonest cause of OVI Maps crashing upon opening! When you updated OVI Maps application to latest v3.06 it needs to delete previous 0.1.25.114 map data used by v3.04 to make way for 0.2.42.122 map set. Whilst there is a message saying that old map data will need to be removed, it requires confirmation by the user.
Suggest that you try deleting E:\Cities + .qf file, re-start OVI Maps application upon device to re-initialise application and re-create necessary folder structure. You now have option of downloading regional maps using either "Update" feature within application upon device via WLAN access point or use OVI Suite > Maps as previously if so preferred.
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

N97 mini Video problem

Hi everyone,
I lately transferred using Nokia Ovi Suite, 4 videos (2 episodes and 2 movies) onto my n97 mini. All these videos work at the beginning perfectly, then at the end they freeze and i can only hear voice. The phone does not freeze, the video frame does. And this happens at the end of every video (episodes freeze at about 2 minutes from end, movies at about 20 minutes from end).
Any ideas how i can fix this?
Thanks!
Sascha

Try taking a 10 minute vid with your phone camera, see if the same thing happens , if not complain to Ovi about the vidz you bought. If it occurs with the recorded video, complain to phone supplier ! I tend to convert my own videos to MP4 format and they work fine.
Good Luck
