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!

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.

Iphone 5 issues after IOS 8.2 update: all the iphones in the house receive the same phone calls ONLY while we are at home. Any ideas on how to fix this?

That is a new "feature" described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off

Is there any fix for the bluetooth connectivity issue after most recent OS update?

Seems to be a common problem particularly with bluetooth headseat connectivity. Any ideas?

There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.

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.

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.....

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 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 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

Download files from mac to N97 mini/WLAN

I can access the net through WLAN from my N97 mini, and download from anywhere except for my own Mac (snow leopard).
My wireless router can see the phone, and gives it an IP address, but I get nowhere when I key the address in on my mac.
ISync works OK for calendar and contacts.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I'm not that techy. but don't think N97 has share on home network (like N95 had) so I use either bluetooth or usb to transfer files (usb much faster) but I also use pc not mac. Hope someone with more technical knowledge can help'
Good Luck

N97 Mini VOIP failure after 11.0.045 upgrade

Just upgraded my N97 mini to version 11.0.045 and the built-in VOIP got buggy. VOIP call only working for the first call after a phone restart ! The registration is successful al the time, but no audio and connectivity after 1st call. I'm subscribed to a Betamax Voip service.
I'm connecting through Wifi. I freshly downloaded and reinstalled the SIP Voip settings software. No luck.
I also notice some strange behaviors.. When I logoff from VOIP service, the Wifi is not turning off (no other service using the connection). And in the advanced settings I see the profile is "Registered", which was not so before upgrade. Now, to release the registration, I had to do a restart.
Please advice.

Hi, I also just upgraded to 11.0.045 on my Nokia N97 Mini.
I cannot log on to my SIP profile at all any more! Nothing happens when clicking on it or selecting Options--> Connect.
I also reinstalled the SIP VoIP software (SIP_VoIP_3_1_Settings_S60_5_x_v1_0_en.sis) but this could not solve the problem either.
I do very much rely on VoIP so I am very disappointed by Nokia!
Can any one help??

Helix2 - WLAN issues after connected standbay

Hello,since I have bought my Helix 2 in February, I constantly have problems with the WLAN connection after the Helix resumes from connted standby. I already installed all driver updates, however non of them was able to completly fix the problem. Either the Helix shows limited connectivity or no networks can be found. Depending on the installed update the former or latter issue occurs. In order to fix these problems I need to deactivate and reactivate the intel wirless device. Thank you for your help!

We did make some mileage on this issue in the past week. After replacing motherboards (which didn't help) and even depoting a unit, the fix below appears to be working. Do the following: 1) Install the latest drivers from Lenovo directly (not using the automatic update utility)
https://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/n1gw202w_64.exe 2) During that install, choose repair. You will notice that several files that were missing will be detected and installed, including a few .dlls 3) After that install you will notice that the lenovo update utility will detect that you need to update the software. Go ahead and let it do the update.

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.
