Default PPPoE Client for Nokia n97/Symbian
Hello,
I have just a wLan Modem and i have to connect via PPPoE to the Internet.
Is there any App/Solution for the N97?
THX
CheersApologies if I misunderstand...
Is your Modem/wLAN actually a modem/router box? If so, what model?
The PPPoE is usually looked after by the router box itself, it then provides you with standard TCP/IP (over Ethernet of Wifi). It's the TCP/IP that conveys internet traffic. Are you already able to connect wirelessly by a laptop for example?
Referring to the username and password you mention, do you mean your ADSL connection credentials? They're provided by your ISP and there is no way round that, but they should (likely) be set in your router already.
For other devices to connect to your existing internet connection then the devices in question don't need to know about usernames and passwords, just your Wifi settings (SSID broadcast name, security type and security WEP/WPA code).
If I can assist on any of these points in more detail then please ask, I hope I haven't completely misunderstood your original question! -

Symbian now open sourced, n97 with symbian^2?
Symbian is now open sourced !!!
so now you can head over to www.symbian.org and download the source code for free and modify it in anyway, ofcourse you have to stick to the policies
But im just wondering, could the N97 get a symbian^2 update? cos its just more open sourced and there arn't that much changes to it then symbian^1?
btw apologies to the v21.0.045 disappearing thread, apparently my NSU had a problem with it's log file which i didn't think would ever happen :L
n97.symbian will skip symbian^2 and will head to symbian^3 in q3 of 2010

Go to Solution.Hi, of the phones you mentioned the N97 will give the best media experience. Now as to the previous post , it is somewhat incorrect. The phones specs are virtually Identical, but run on entirely different operating systems N97 Symbian 60 V5 and N900 Maemo a brand new Linux based operating system, probably much better for web browsing, and superior for flash content. As your interest is in music/video, and you don't want a 'black computer' probably the N97 is still your best bet of the phones you've mentioned. The N900 is as yet not fully tried and tested, but in theory with it's larger phone memory should be better for web browsing and running multiple apps, we'll see. But with v2.0 software my N97 is now running smoothly and working well as a phone and media player, and initial complaints have reduced in number and most problems seem to have been solved. Untill the N900 is truly on-line in numbers it will be hard to judge, and there are already a few problems turning up on this site. Most complex 'smartphones' have faults, check the web, people have problems with iPhone, Sony Erickson just withdrew their latest offering,Samsung has it's critics. It all boils down to personal choice. I think the N97 is now a good phone, plenty of help and advice on trouble shooting, and will improve more with future firmware updates(maybe it should have been launched 'perfect' but it wasn't,neither are other makes) Choose the one you fancy, stick with it and almost any problem you find can usually be solved by researching forums like this.
Enjoy whatever you choose.
Good Luck
PS if you want to compare specific phones specification many web sites will give you side by side comparisons !

I found the following:
"Am afraid i dont know about the N97 native client but you could try the new Symbian Beta (not officially supported for the N97 but some users are reporting they have installed it and it works) at least until the Native client gets released anyway."
at this link http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=488381
Has anyone attempted this with an N97? What issues/success have you encountered? Hoping for some feedback to help me decide if I want to attempt this.It installs and works sort of, chat works but thats about it.
May I take this time to express my disgust over the general state of the N97/Skype. I paid £500 for mine and have had nothing but sodding issues over sodding issue plus being lied to constantly by Nokia. Accuweather refuses to work for ANY city/town in the UK (yes I have tried every single one!) Every other country in the world gets weather info but not the uk -
Is it possible to install the coming new Symbian 3 platform to my current nokia N97?
Most likely not. The hardware requirements for symbian^3 are expected to be higher than whats available on current models. Also historically no nokia symbian based phone has ever received an update to a new OS.
All you can do is wait and see happens or keep checking the various mobile news sites. -
can nokia introduce the operting system of symbian^3 for n97 mini
This is not likely to happen due to hardware constraints. You may however see a few symbian^3 features being included in future firmware updates.

Can N97 hardware support Symbian 3 features?
Regards
Achin JainGood luck with your SE. I live in Sweden and have stayed away from SE. The first 2 I had stopped functioning after a couple of months. My 3rd SE was the P990i, at the time I bought it it was the company's best phone. True disappointment. Laggy and many many bugs. Updates to cover the bugs came all the time but to reveal some others. At a certain point they stopped, they didn't care about the customers who had paid around 600$ to get that **bleep** big bulky phone.
To further accentuate the fact that they stop functioning, my uncle got a C series last year. 6 months later the touch sensitive buttons were not working.
As for your Xperia, I have been in the shops, tried it and I can say it is the laggiest in between android. It doesn't even support multitouch.
Anyways, let's get back to Nokia. I agree with the guys that older phones cannot support new and crucial updates due to hardware limitations, but Nokia works all the time with new updates even to older phone to fix any possible bug.
I have been a Nokia user for years and I have chosen them as my favourite brand. I currently own a e71. -
If the N97 could support Symbian^2 should Nokia pr...
I thought that I read that Symbian^2 will run three times as efficiently as Symbian^1, if that is true then the N97 should be able to handle an update to Symbian^2. If this is possible, do N97 owners think Nokia should provide an update to Symbian^2 for the N97?
I certainly think they should. As a gesture it would go along way in rebuilding my confidence with Nokia, done well it would make the N97 the flagship device that it should have been.
Any other thoughts?
P.S. It would also be a great PR move if Nokia officially announced their intentions, rather than the frustrating silence and resulting unofficial speculation.
Nokia N97 (RM-507) v 22
iPhone 4 (Coming Soon) - Lemon N97 - SE - Nokia 8210 - Nokia 7710 - Nokia 5100I do agree with you froschy, specially that I heard that they said, at the very beginning of N97 release, that N97 will support the future symbian platform.
Let's wait and see any official word from Nokia. -
My experience with the N97 - "my last Nokia"
Hi everyone,
I know this is a user-to-user support forum but I believe a complaint to be some sort helps users to decide whether the N97 is for them or not. Before you read on, this post will contain comparisons to competitors, so if you hate apples, feel free to ignore me! (Also I don't think users should stop harassing Nokia for what they have done to us - the more complaints the better. Igoring customers is not a very good corporate strategy. Eventually it will take them down - people buy Nokia for quality, otherwise they could buy a rip-off from ebay).
Just skimming over the posts shows me that I am not alone. So let me share my experience with Nokia and the N97. I am too tired complaining about this phone, at least I think my experience has made sure that no-one of my friends and relatives is ever going to buy a Nokia again.
When I bought the phone for then 500 pounds at the Nokia flagship store in London it seemed nice enough. Good camera, decent keyboard and features competitors could only dream of. Unfortunately, that's paperwork. For a start, the much advertised facebook application was completely disfunctional and taking into account that Nokia clearly tried to compete with the iphone (my apologies again for mentioning a competitor) frankly a lame joke. I know a firmware update has somewhat relieved the situation now, but I will come to that later.
Okay, so I have disabled the facebook application. Not a drama, surely the rest will work okay. But then after a week some of the pictures I took with the built-in camera weren't accessible anymore (broken image displayed). Again, I have another camera and I was hoping for a firmware update so I ignored it. I had now started using the joikuspot app to browse the internet on my linux box. Very nice. I started using email a lot on my phone but again was disappointed. I have a £165 ipod touch here. Without kinetic scrolling and an extremely bad UI design, by which I mean the icons and menus (ignoring the graphics flaws all the time) it is no match for the ipod, so what i did was to use joiku spot with my ipod touch. Before that firmware update the N97s browser was also still buggy so I used joikuspot for that too. I was now down to using my £500 smartphone as a wireless modem. What a shame. But I was still hoping for some kind of magic update.
Then finally, I found out about the firmware update. I had to open my phone, check the serial and visit the Nokia website. Unfortunately, the Ovi software and drivers supplied with the phone did not recognize my N97 properly. Something which I think was fixed with the firmware update (anyone seeing a circular dependency here? ) Furthermore, the built-in firmware update over 3G seemed to be disabled. So I made the journey back to the flagship store in London, explaining the problem. I was greeted by an extremly rude employee. Well, I think that's not really his fault, I guess he was just sick of all the complaints. Anyways, I told him that the 3G update was not working and he started to be really patronizing telling me that I wouldn't listen to him (he said it was "working" but "disabled"). Maybe I should have told him that I am a software engineer and that in 99.9% of the cases in which we disable a feature, the reason is that it is "not working". Anyways, he kindly allowed me to use one of their machines to update the firmware "at my own risk", which worked. At no point I have received an apology for the fact that I have paid Nokia £500 to beta-test their products.
Now of course, the firmware update has succeeded, but is all fine? Far from it.... As many report on this forum the N97s battery meter is faulty. Countless times, my phone has just literally died overnight. It even forgets time and date! This is more than bad - every phone I have had so far complained about a draining battery well in advance. I had to dig out my old phone to serve as an alarm clock again - the fact that the alarm clock itself is unreliable is a alltogether different matter... One time the battery died during the day - after doing nothing for 4 hours in my sports bag (started with 1 bar down). When I had to make a call that day, for the first time in I don't know how many years I had to use a telephone box. Progress?!
The firmware update has also barely improved the email client - just a few ui glitches solved. However, the biggest issue at the moment seems to be the weird memory organization. When I buy a phone I don't want to deal with something like the c drive problem. Reinstalling applications on the 32gb partition helps somewhat but why didn't Nokia do that in the first place? Has this phone never been tested?The phone is still way too slow.
I can't comment on the iplayer app - says it needs wlan to work. But the youtube player has crashed every time i used it. And by crashing I mean it took down the whole phone with it. I admit that my ipod crashed a few times too - in just under a year (~3 times). But the reset was straightforward every time. With the N97, the only thing that seems to help is to take the battery out!
Before I forget, the N97 doesn't even work as a phone. In a 30 minute conversation, the call got dropped 4 times. I don't know whether it was because of a calibration issue with the proximity sensor or a more serious problem, all I know is that this is unacceptable!
I am sick of the phone and Nokia's service. The joikuspot app ran out and asks me to pay... I have paid £500 pounds for the bloody phone already. The adobe reader asks me to pay... (somehow it ran out without me even using it). Maybe you see why I am getting angry now - the only use case that actually put the N97 on top of my old phone was gone. What infuriated me even more, is that Nokia bundles this software with the phone. It cannot actually be deinstalled! It just sits there merrily and takes up my hard drive space.
Last but not least, I have written to Nokia already, but not received a response! This is a Nokia forum with Nokia employees following the posts. I would be very, very, very grateful if Nokia could give me a refund. However, with them not even acknowledging the various problems I somehow don't see that coming. I'll probably have to sell it with a massive loss on ebay.
Cheers,
Will
P.s.: I have all the same small issues as the other guys here - slider lock at the side not working etc. You are not alone... Has anyone complained about the music player? I have 16gb of music on the phone and scrolling is impossible! The Symbian OS is so obviously not built for a touch screen that it hurts. Of course they don't put much music on the phones in the Nokia store so people only find out when they get home...

Solved!
Go to Solution.hi ! the nokia n97 is a really an amazing device. It keeps up to the promise of live online 24 x 7. I discovered it and wanted to share. Still there are some unanswered questions and if any vetran could help would really appreciate.
i am an user from India. and have the n97 for about 3-4 weeks now. Practically I have been living online 24 x 7 as The list of unexpected issues that a nokia n97 offers seems unending, some of which i am narrating have made me scout on the web to try n search answers.Not that i will be able to action information you provide instantly. My new phone has gone for reparis(sic), so once its back can do that & will acknowledge your replies.
My Quests:
1. First things first! How to request for & get refunds for a Nokia Phone in India.
2. Is there a touch querty as an input method? like windows mobile ? Request Know How. I now seem to agree to the feedback on one of the blogs.. that nokia designers feel that the average size of user hands would be that of big people & fingers like a japaneese teen. The physical keyboard does not seem to offer any additional functions other than text input !
3. Predictive text where in the touch screen menu, the words dont get auto completed. This increases the number of taps/input strokes. Is the n97 intelligent & learn words from sms, contacts, emails. my blackberry does so. Request Know How & any options to edit custom dictionary. Auto Punctuation ? Am i expecting too much already ?
4. Single hand use of phone impractical using touch pad t9. Entering alphanumerics on the physical querty is a nightmare... Request Know how on tips & tricks.
5. Green tick yes or v button on top left of the text input screen. friendly again only for big handed people. Could this have been at bottom right. Is alternate screen for text input touch t9 available? Requested Know how.
6. Unnecessary taps additional taps alomost in all menus...for eg.. sending a biz card from n97 requires 5 taps... in the other mobile phone systems it can be done in 3 taps. Requested Knowhow for shortcuts.
7. Can In a nokia we get a view of the entire events as single thread.... No Provision for search display against keywords upon I can get call logs, messages - Here in Nokia, no search filters / advanced search and all searches results plotted to applications vs person/events. Requested Know How if it can be done like blackberry / windows mobile.
8. Copy & Paste across applications. eg. Select text from web page copy n paste on message application.... possible on Nokia...? Requested Know How
9. Call& Event Logs e.g Missed calls. If there are 5 missed calls the log will show the last called time only. In most other mobile systems Blackberry, windows each event is logged against a user. Requested know how on how this is handled in Nokia.
10. Lag in picture display upon call. Number displays first and after few seconds lag the pic pops up. Is this normal & acceptable ? Other windows / rim devices show it instantly.
11. When will Nokia enable usage of Native clients like google talk, yahoo like blackberry, iphone ? Any know how on possibility of release. Any equal alternatives suggested for n97. Tried Nimbuzz, Fring, Ebuddy. Miss the chat message notification icon on home screen, notification on the chat messaging icon, sound, breathing lights.
12. Is there any planning for better email client? Likely Release dates?
13. The Java App for GMAIL on blackberry shows an indicator on icon in addition to customised alert setting tone & breathing light for new messages. Retreiving Emails is consistent & auto on other devices. The Nokia Does not seem to auto refresh + No Notification. How is it handled on Nokia ?
14. Can user friendliness be something where we can do actions with a contact or on contacts screen single view... e.g see contact on google map, Help on contacts screen/n97 help, lookup contact on server, filter by category. new address, new group, view, edit, delete, activity log (incl sms, mms, email, calls), call, sms, mms, email, send as attachment, send as im, add a custom ring tone, add picture, options - sort by, separators, sync settings, actions, switch
applications, exit. We have seen it on inexpensive phones. is it possible to be done on Nokia?
SOME OF MY STILL UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS Post upgrade to ver 12. Did you also face similar bugs/issues?
15. Contacts inaccessible – “Memory Full Error”. No other applications were active at the time of the error. Just unable to reach any of my 3500 contacts through the contacts options & do anything.
16. Pbk2 error upon selecting contacts in the messaging application.
17. Audio Delay upon receiving a call. No Sound upon connection of incoming call. Especially if picked up too fast.
18. Shows as searching for network constantly many times a day. We have 2 n97s & observed that both n97 almost have similar timing of network loss. Whereas, our other devices like blackberry do not show any weak signal signs.
19. GPS Lock. Keeps searching for GPS locks constantly i.e Drops connection to GPS network frequently.
20. Unpredictive battery talk time, standby & required Charge time.
21. Voice inaudible at other end, when using loudspeaker & especially during calls from moving vehicle.
22. Camera:
a. Picture clarity issues. Secondary camera highly pixelated. Primary camera shows light flooding on pictures. Clarity Missing.
b. Erroneous Time stamp on images.
c.Lens Cover Started to show minor scratch pressure.
23. Ovi Suite recommends erroneous updates for E.g Maps 3
24. Text Input touch t9 screen freezes / Hangs, especially when entering special characters like period(.), comma(,), exclamation (!) etc
25. Selectively & at random contact Name not displayed on Caller ID (sometimes)
26. Selectively Message & Message delivery display number, instead of stored contact names.
27. Sync Issue, All contacts not synced always.
How to sync "categories" field as stored in outlook or how to map custom fields to Nokia.
28. Format Mass Memory error, Unable to format. Unable to delete specific files.
29. The auto lock... When attempted to unlock with querty out .. it still opens in portrait mode ?
30. SMS Logs Not updated. e.g any sms sent before storing a contact.... after storing or adding
contact the number does not get automatically updated to the name. It reflects the number still in the logs.
31. Picture caller... The face is half cut ..Looks weird on most images... as the number is not transparent. In landscape mode there is enough space on the screen to put up the answer or reject buttons and displaying the numbers.
32. Browser will close on its own & return to menu or home screen.
thanks in advance for your time to stop & read. Pls do send any information that you think will be useful to me for making the n97 do some work.
NEW additions:
(tested on another n97)
33. Predictive Text :
Usage for auto word completion only on physical keyboard, when the Dpad down key is used it throws up options but the way the scroll is designed you can see the full word and one makes mistakes.
34. another strange behaviour is on the text input... this was on an email i was trying to reply. the stylus touch will paste the last keyed in word !! we wonder why.
35. and while showing off the second n97 we have (again 3-4 weeks old) - we were asked how much did we pay for this second hand unit - 50% off .. apparently the comment as the surface has got scratched very badly.
i hope the info is good use to others who want to take the risk of buying this device -
The N97, Ovi, and some of my hatred.
This is what's pi$$es me most off at the moment. There's more, but I can't be arsed to mentally whip myself by reminding myself about it. But this should cover my main points of bloodraging fury.
The camera. Why is the production N97 equipped with a camera that would embarrass a prototype?
It drowns the entire left side in led light when the so called flash is used?
While I'm at it, why is there not a proper flash? If Sony bloody Ericsson can do it, so can Nokia.
And then there's the protective cover that isn't protective, but is in fact the freaking opposite of protective.
Why does my lens have scratches because of the cover? And it isn't just me either.
Try googling "n97 scratched camera" and see what results you get.
There are someone in Nokia who should go back to working in a boot factory.
There were no touch pen in the box the N97 came with. Which is just as good, because there's no place in the phone to store it. I tried to use it with a pen from a Nokia 5800, and surprise, surprise, it was a huge improvement. So therefore it could not be a part of the N97 package. If it's any good, the N97 couldn't have it. Just like a better placement of the camera leds such as on the N97 mini, not for the big N97.
Ovi suite. The old PC Suite might've been old, but newer isn't always better. There's several things about Ovi suite I that makes me want go to Finland only to slap Nokia programmers across the face with rancid salmons.
For instance, why, oh fcuking why, is there no bleeding obvious way of moving movies from the N97 to my computer like there was on PC Suite. It had a film strip icon, hooray! The Ovi suite only want to synchronize all the images I have in "My Pictures" folder, even AFTER I have selected a different folder to synch with?
I do abso-fcuking-lutely not want to have all the **bleep** from My Pictures on my mobile phone.
I have even MOOOOVED all the images from the old My Pictures, to a different folder just because Ovi didn't want tolet go of the idea of putting all my old My Pictures images on the N97. And yeeeeeeeezzz.... I have restarted Ovi, but no good.
Restarted my computer, yup, still NFG.
Another thing that makes me truly furious. Playing music on the piece of $hit that I was stupid enough to buy without testing first (because all the previous Nokias I had were excellent mobiles at the times they were new).
I were under the obviously wrong impression that all I have to do to put some music to my retarded mobile was to just adding it by using Ovi. Surely I could play whatever tune I wanted once they were on my mobil, just like on the N95?
Could I heck. The tunes are undoubtedly on the mobile, the Ovi on a different computer sees them on the mobile, but I cannot access them from the mobile. As far as the crabby user interface on the N97 is concerned, there's just the sound files I made with the mobile itself on on there. Nothing else at all in the Music app.
Ovi doesn't do ANYTHING better for me than the old PC Suite did. The things that are allegedly improved by jamming Ovi in my virtual throat are not something I want anyway. Ovi looks gayer though, presumably to suck up to the Apple-drones.
Who by the way got a real nice piece of hardware in the iPhone. Just a shame about having to deal with Satans iTunes by going that route.
On the positive note, Maps is the saving grace of Nokia for me. Otherwise I'd enjoy throwing the N97 at a brick wall, or jumping on it, and urinate all over the remains. I hate this mobile with a passion, so I might go back to the N95 until the next flagship Nokia. And if it isn't at least as good as the competitors, I've bought my last Nokia after many models of Nokias. The user interface isn't a reason to stay with Nokia anymore, so why bother?
Solved!
Go to Solution.The biggest n97 alternative IMO is the Samsung OmniaPRO B7610 It runs on WinMo, but I like WinMo, so....
Anyway, I understand your gripe. The n97 was a bad unit. However regarding the new Nokia that would make you smile, I am not sure if this would do the trick but later this year Symbian^2 and Maemo 6 will be released

If you find my post helpful please click the green star on the left under the avatar. Thanks. -
I have for the last 4 yrs been a Nokia user from an early n80 to the buggy useless n97 here is the none response of the biggest mistake in my life/....N97 RIP.....
an email i sent and got noe replys ....
This will be the second email now I have asked you to respond to, regarding
the situation I find myself in and I'm certainly not expecting you to reply
to this either, it absolutely beggars belief that a massive multinational
company such as Nokia has taken it upon themselves to ignore my plight.
I have a recorded now eight phone calls I have made to Nokia care UK I have
been on hold five times for up to 22 minutes at a time and then just hung
up, I was promised by Nokia care UK you would immediately ring me back with
the utmost urgency within 24 hours this is not the case I have subsequently
called you three times today 25th of August 2009, I have been placed on hold
by your operatives so they can get a second opinion as regards my complaint
and yet agin 25 mins later and music ..nothing again?
You gave me a reference number 1-7891938666 , what on earth are you playing
at do you realise your software has destroyed my computer in as using your
OVI software has resorted in me having several viruses downloaded from your
website onto my machine.
Several days ago I purchased an N97 Nokia phone on Orange, together with
this phone was the OVI software that I installed on my windows XP machine,
after the install the OVI software started to collect my photographic an AVI
data, this seemed normal to me until I tried to view my photographs in Nokia
photo.
In Nokia photo I tried viewing some maybe I is that the software had
collected but click in to an AVI Nokia photo requested I download Windows
media 10 player and had a click okay to presume, after clicking okay nothing
happened so I did it again nothing happened again so I carried on using the
software to view my photographs which allowed me to do.
About 30 seconds later my virus software Avast professional alerted me to a
virus I subsequently deleted the virus but it came back again and again and
avast reported that the virus was in fact win 32:Vitro.exe, try as I may I
could not stop the virus spreading in fact the virus was so powerful it
stopped my anti-malware and Spy Bot software from running.
The consequences of this virus which came from your website on request from
Nokia photo and speaking to your colleagues at Nokia care UK all they wanted
to do was to blame Microsoft because in fact the file that Nokia photo was
requesting to download was Microsoft windows media player 10 and so
according to you it was their fault.
When I spoke to Microsoft I spoke to somebody in their technical support
section and they said and I quote because Nokia is affiliated with Microsoft
they have access to the Windows media files through their website, when I
mentioned this to Nokia care UK they also confirmed that in fact they to
were affiliated with Microsoft.
The consequences of this virus has rendered my operating system inoperative
and further information gathered from websites that deal specifically with
viruses and malware suggest that in fact the Win32: vitro.exe virus is a
very aggressive virus and that the only true course of action to get rid of
it is to format my hard drives.
further my external hard drives have also been affected by the win32:
vitro.exe virus I have over 3 TB of information that has been destroyed as a
result of these viruses from your website, I have repeatedly sought help
from both you Nokia and Microsoft, Microsoft has said it is your fault you
say it is Microsoft's fault I am left with 10 years of collated information
treasured photographs treasured videos, treasured letters, and lots more in
ruins because of this virus, at present I am sitting here absolutely
devastated and distraught at my loss I am spending money contacting you for
advice and you are systematically ignoring me, you promised you would
contact me with the utmost urgency don't you care about your customers does
it not matter to you that you have viruses that destroy people's lives and
computers on your website.
What am I to do now I tell you what I will do if you don't do what you say
you can do about it help me recover my last files and tell me whether it is
safe for me to use my Nokia N97 phone or not, I'd also want to be reassured
that the Nokia software is safe to use, if you do not reply to me and gave
me assurances you will help I will contact the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, sky
News, the newspapers including the Times, the Telegraph, the Observer, the
New York Times, Jay Leno anyone that will listen to my plight.
I have given you enough opportunities to help me sort this out please don't
ignore me any longer because in the current climate the way the situation is
right now words will speak louder than actions, I have already prepared a
video for release on youTube detailing the plight I am in, I'm sure if Nokia
UK will ignore me and people out there saying my plight won't.
Don't keep ignoring me Nokia care UK
sincerely yoursIn your mail to Nokia, you raise a number of points, but here are a few comments:
I, along with millions of other users around the world, have Ovi Suite and other Ovi software installed on my PC and laptop with no problem - how on Earth can you be so sure that Nokia is the source of the virus that you have came from Nokia? If nothing happend when you clicked 'OK' to proceed with the download of WMP, then -erm- nothing happened. The fact that you noticed the virus shortly afterwards is most likely pure coincidence. What other software do you have installed on your PC that has internet access? Most things that you install nowadays run permanently from the system tray, so they're active even if you down double-click their desktop icons.
What does Nokia having a business agreement with Mircsoft and having access to Windows Media files have to do with your virus? Nothing at all.
The chances of Nokia, Microsoft or any other big company being the source of your virus are as near to nothing as makes no difference, if your AV software is unable to remove your virus then I suggest that you update or replace it, and be more careful about what sites you visit and what software you install in the future.
As for your N97 sat in a corner because you are scared it might have viruses, this fear is completely unfounded. Your N97 does NOT have a Windows operating system, so firstly any viruses that it might have could not infect your PC any more than a Windows virus could infect an Apple Mac, and secondly the Symbian S60 5th Edition operating system in the N97 has no viruses whatsoever. A very small number of viruses existed for much older version of the Symbian OS, but they could only infect a phone if activated by the user running (things can't self-install without your knowledge in Symbian as they can in Windows), and these viruses were so inaffective that they were never developed beyond 2nd Edition - 3rd and 5th Edition phones on sale to day are currently safe from viruses.
Feel free to take your story to the press and media, because the outcome will be that any number of experts will step forward to point out that Nokia is not the cause of your PC problems.

Dear forum members...
I have been used N97 RM505 for couple of months.
I bought it brand new with 3 generations old fw.
My problems with the phone started then! Very disappointing and embarrassing for Nokia, to be honest.
Since I consider myself "power user", I have never had smartphone or pocket PC so I could use it as phone or music player. I have always wanted to use phone as mobile computer so I aimed hi-tech products (7-8 years ago) from manufacturers like HTC, HP...half year ago I fell in love with Nokia E71 smartphone, and that was my first Symbian powered gadget. I was very interested in how "symbians" do it. And I was surprised how it worked. But, I wanted more. I gave E71 as present and decided to go for N97, flagship Nokia device.
And then, problems started to show up...
3 FW updates from that moment, and problems I have with this...device..do not disappear!
Same things happen all over again!
I read about particular issues and there are many of them, that's for sure.
My problem is simple: I have all of them!
Main camera works from time to time, after I answer the call I cant unlock the phone, freezes during boot sequence, left side of display in landscape mode dissapears, phone "kind of soft-restarts" every day or two and after that I have to reconfigure my email settings all over again, speed dial and favorite contacts lose pictures, contacts or group assigned ringtones mess up...
Phone has to be rebooted using "battery-pulled-out" method at least 3 times a day!
Tried everything: formatting, reinstalling device's FW, hard-resetting, FW upgrading...
Every time I format memory or hard-reset the phone i hope that will be last time!
But, nothing happens. Phone works well for a couple of hours. Phone call and it gets stuck, and i start all over again...when I come home.
I work as industrial automation software developer and, believe me, i know what "faulty device" means.
I know Nokia's origins, and I know that Finland is cradle of mobile communications, I have visited couple of companies in Finland that produce very reliable digital radio devices and I am familiar how professional they are up there...Every bug I have found in devices produced and developed in Finland was reported and problems were solved in couple of weeks or so! This does not fit in my experience with Nokia. E71 is outstanding device. I am sorry because I switched it for this "flagship phone" or, even worse, "mobile computer".
Bottom line:
Phone is not reliable, especially if you want to use it as multipurpose device!
Calling this device "Nokia flagship phone" is very wrong.
I am gonna wait for couple of weeks for new FW since it is not still available for rm505 officially, and after that I'll do something bad with this phone.
Technical support in my country is more than "unprofessional" and problem solving does not consist of turning off and turning on the phone or continuous reinstalling FW, as they do it.
My Question: Anything similar happened to anybody, and what I should do?
Thanks for advices. Forget technical support or local repair centre.
Cheers!Yeah...
Thanks for the tips, carman58. I have already managed to try all different combinations and procedures for getting my phone to work including your recommendations.
As I told you before...after formatting E-drive, reinstalling phone software and hard resetting things went pretty well...until something happens. Week or two...day or two of heavy usage and I can't unlock device after phone call...Or main camera fails. Or, sometimes I just can't turn it on. White screen and stuff like that. 3-4 days before I decided to post on this forum I conducted procedure similar to the one recommended by carman58. I tried to conclude "critical amount of free space on C drive" that affects phone's stability. Phone works well (but I want it to work better than that) with 40-50 MB of free space on C drive. Anything below that level does not guarantee your phone will work well. Memory allocation may be the key...Not my job, just trying to conclude something logical.
I am not fan of third party software that watches RAM or CPU usage...Bad experience with Windows mobile devices, but I'll try to see somehow if there's not enough memory when s**t happen.
And, yes...There are some apps that definitely do not free allocated memory after program is closed or even crashed. I am not going to name these apps, just want to know forum members experience with remote desktop management software compatible with N97. Hahaha!...In ths very moment I found out that my phone is not charging although it is connected to the charger! Never mind...Maybe notification does not work.
Is there Nokia's official explanation for problems with N97? They can't deny problems. I mean, if you are not heavy user, or power-user....whatever....maybe you won't have problems we are dealing with?
And then, what's the point of 400MHz cpu clock, and great amount of RAM? It is there so we can watch video clips, take pictures, or surf the web? Yes but not all of that at the same time...
Multitasking is what devices like N97 should eat for lunch, if you know what I mean. Memory management should not be like this...3rd party apps for monitoring and flushing RAM. No way.
I know how hard it is to develop device that has all of these functions N97 has. So many hardware modules in such small housing, powered by such small power source...That's hell of a job!
If it is true, then my device should still have "beta" somewhere around "N97". I am not going to mention how much money N97 costs...
Bugs antS problems... -
Just for a change can i praise the N97 while I understand some users frustrations can I just add this is not every N97 user. I have owned many phones and gadgets over the years from N70,N80,N95 Iphones Archos and Ipods
and to be honest I think the N97 is the best yet
Things i'm loving most about the N97
1.The memory 32gb = lots of movies and music makling it a one gadget in your pocket
by the way if you use dvdvideosoft video to ipod convertor on the ipod highest quality setting it gives great video files supported by N97 and its freeware
2.the radio transmitter fab with the ipod and iphone this you have to pay extra for
3.the internet access is great
4.iplayer with download
only bug on this is sometimes the download option isnt there
but ive found if you restart the phone the next time it is
5.camera is good as it was on the N95 its down to the lens not the MP
6.widget options are good
My wishlist for the N97
1.coverflow or something like it for the music player
2.N gage games I believe this is happening in september
3.The picture gallery to be fixed as for some reason the download picture
file only updates when phone restarted and for some reason you cant delete from this file via the phone
only from mass storage
overall though am a very happy N97 user like all technology sometimes you have to learn to work withthe nuances and behaviours of a device compared to my early experiences with a spv its a breezeMe too, me too!! And so you don't think I'm a teenage geek jumping up and down in excitement, I'm a geek in her 50s jumping up and down with excitement.
I've just been having coffee with a friend who was given an iPhone by his employer as a work phone. He doesn't like it much at all. One of the problems he finds is the mute button is often activated by his ear – I thought that was amusing! On the other hand, my daughter and her husband like their iPhones – but they also have a house full of Apple computers!
I love my N97 – I did a lot of research and weighed up three phones – the HTC Touch Pro 2 (I know someone who has got rid of his already and swapped to the N97), waiting for the Samsung Omnia i8000 or the N97. While the iPhone is perfect for many, many people it was never an option for me. Capacitive screen too restrictive, no multi-tasking, no FM radio, low grade camera, no flash, no personalisation to speak of. Above all else a phone has to fit the needs of the user and I was very clear on my needs.
I've not had mine for 2 weeks or anything, but I love it. The keyboard is perfect for a mobile phone (we use phone keyboards differently to PC keyboards), the touch screen is extremely accurate, it feels good to hold (as in comfortable), was dead easy to upgrade and personalise, and I've had no bugs. Call quality is excellent, my daughter's description was "just like a landline, maybe even better". The speakers (for music) are not 7.1 digital sourround sound, but this isn't a stereo system, it is a phone - and the quality can be improved by fiddling with the equaliser.
Now I just need to send Nokia my invoice for the advertising spiel, but I am really happy with it.
I've had a few Nokias, so I suppose I am used to the Nokia world, therefore easier for me to adapt.
Thinks I'd like to see: Fancier transitions, but I'm hopeful we will get the upgrade to Symbian 2 which looks great - a litle worried about the RAM required for Sym 2, but we shall see - they say we are compatible.
More useful apps - but that will come in time as developers get stuff happening.
A few odds and ends, mostly usability that I posted on the thread about the next release of firmware - some I've already found apps for, like auto-scheduling the profile changes. I'd like to see the virtual qwerty keyboard as was in early videos - handy for a quick SMS. Abiliy to edit contact detail labels (not sure where that disappeared to, was on my old phone).
Like fowler1969, I'm very happy I went with this phone.
I will say this: I have noticed quite a few posts here and in other forums where the "issues" were not phone issues, they were user issues. This is not a phone for someone who isn't a little technically literate. The phone can be highly personalised, therefore the user needs to know at least a little about the basic concepts of smartphones and computer technology generally. If a person doesn't know the difference between the C: drive and the E: drive, or understand that an internet connection is needed to get email, then possibly this is not the right phone. Don't buy this phone because you want the lastest and fanciest - but it because it fits YOUR particular needs.
Clearly some people have had some issues, but I do believe these are the exception rather than the rule.
I agree Nokia didn't test the firmware it was shipped with well enough before release.
