N97 Widgets problem

I've Nokia N97 with V12.0.024
A lot of times the phone stops responding and I've to take out the battery to restart the phone.
After the restart, when it loads the widgets on the main screen, the pics on the Favorite Contacts widget disappears and in the Music Widgets it dosn't show the media buttons or anything else.
Its irritating becuase after sometime most of the widgets stop working and the phone starts to respond very slowly.
So far only solution I've seen to the problem is to format the phone and restore everything again.
The frequency of formatting the phone has gone up to once a week now.
If anyone else is facing the same problem and know a solution pls help.

im facing the same problem..every damn day...all he widgets stop working after every 10 hrs or so..and sometimes my phone doesnt even respond..neither do i rcv ne calls..I have to take the battery off twice a day 2 make sure its working fine..unfortunately thr is no solution to this..and neither is nokia bothered 2 take this into note..greddy company have got the money..and to hell w/ thr loyal costumers.

N97 GPS Problems - Hardware or Software?

Sorry to start yet another thread on the N97 GPS problems, but reading through all the threads there seems not to be any clear conclusion as to whether or not the issue is a software/firmware one, in which case potentially fixable, or a hardware one, in which case the phones have to be sent back and replaced.
My personally feeling is that it's hardware. Some people have no issue but many have a problem. I have the same issues with losing the satellites, poor GPS accuracy, etc. both with Ovi Maps 3.01 and with Google Maps, which again to me points to a hardware fault. Updating firmware from v10 to v11 made no difference to GPS performance.
So, I wonder if people agree with me that it is a hardware issue and the phones have to go back, or if there is some hope of it being a software issue and thus being fixed?
Anyone had any success in sending back an N97 for replacement because if the GPS issue? Mine is a UK 3 branded N97 black, free as part of a contract, and I have a feeling that 3 are likely to resist replacing the phone if they can.

I believe that the GPS problem in N97 not a hardware problem but a software problem with the Nokia (Ovi) Maps 3.
Below explanation why:
I have been using Nokia Maps 2.0 on my previous phone – E71 for more than one year. It worked pretty well and stable. One important remark – it is important to configure the server for AGPS under Settings well...
About one and half month ago I decided to install on my E71 the newest Nokia (Ovi) Maps 3.0. And ... immediately my problems started. The GPS performance worsened – I was continuously getting messages about GPS lost, recalculating and usually concluding that I am on a parallel road to the road which I was actually driving – horrible...
Also my colleague with N82 made the same mistake (installed Maps 3.0) and got the same problems.
Because of this problems I have removed this new version on my E71 and went back to Nokia Maps 2.0. And guess what? - The problems were gone!
Two weeks ago I bought my N97. It comes only with Maps 3.1 so I was expecting problems. And ... indeed I have them all. Bad thing is however that I cannot go back to Maps 2.0 on N97...
I tested GPS accuracy with three different phones (N97, E71, E75) and two versions of Nokia Maps. What I can see is that its normal to be about 80-100 meters on average. This is not a specific N97 issue! And apparently should not be a problem because Nokia Maps 2.0 works great even if this application shows accuracy of 100 m. Probably thanks to the Assisted GPS.
So my conclusion is that it is not a hardware problem but a problem with (a part of) the software of the Nokia (Ovi) Maps 3.x ! Maybe with a GPS Driver? Or the functionality of the assisted GPS?

N97 application problem on homescreeen

Hi,
First, i'm french, so it's possible that i've done mistakes in my mesages
I've got a N97, and on the home screen, i put some applications like ACCUWEATHER...
But on the screeen, there is only this message ( "loading content" )
I'm looking for anything to fix this probleme....
The applications works succesfully when i go in Applications, but on the Home screen, nothing, just this message !
Thanxs for the help !

I can't prove it conclusively, but I think it's got to with your connections and their grouping under Connectivity -> Destinations.
Try to have your most wanted (most used) Destination as Priority 1. That Destination should also be in your Internet group and that should be your default gourp.
Once you've set that and using that connection, reinstall that app. Obviously, make sure your home screen is allowed to be online.
I think the problem is the widget (not the app) only knows to use the Priority 1 in your default group. If that connection isn't working the first time after you installed it, it just won't work and doesn't know to try other connections.

N97 homepage problems after software update

Hi Everyone,
After updaing my N97 to software version 21.0.045, which was a nightmare as the phone memory ran out, I have lost several applications from the home screen.
The email summary widget, music widget and date/time part, and they're not available in the list of available content if I try to add them.
Any ideas anyone?

N97 Connectivity problems

Ok here is my problem. Under settings<connectivity<destinations<internet, I have priority 1 set as my home wifi area. then priority 2 is my networks Gprs connection. Now my widgets/web and some applications work fine in this regard, if i'm in my wifi area they work with wifi and if i leave the wifi area they connect fine with my gprs. But then some applications (opera mini for example) simply will not connect unless im in my wifi area. if I leave the wifi area they can't connect with my gprs? why is this happening?
Thanks for any help.

Translated machine:
I own a Toshiba Portege laptop with Vista 32 installed and built Bluetooth. Nokia N95 and Nokia N96 over Bluetooth joined without any problem. Nokia N97 linking the mini USB, but via a Bluetooth connection worked. The Toshiba website, I installed the drivers

N97 Battery problems

I have had problems with my N97 battery since i got the phone.The battery it came with dint last long ours even though i dint leave any widgets on or use it heavily.I had to change the battery and got a new one which i use presently.But just like the first one,it also doesn't last.One minuite it shows full charge and the next,it warns battery low.And if it goes off and i put it back on it sometimes show full charge or drops with only a bar and continues like that till i give it a full charge again.It only takes me about half an hour or more when chatting to show battery low warning.What can i possibly do to enjoy the full usage of my phone?
Is it possible that using a car charger could affect a batteries life sparn?

Hi, I have upgraded the battery on my phone twice and now use a 2800mAh battery which will last a couple of days, but makes the phone look like a brick, a 1900mAh battery will not affect the look of the phone and will last a fairly heavy day.

N97 Factory Problem?

Hello,
I recently bought a new N97 and from the start it seemed to be very weird and different from what I expected.
First of, my N97 does not have the standard themes that I keep seeing in all the presentation photos and videos and that I like. The white theme is plain white, the black theme is black theme, and the widgets transparency cannot be set.
Second, I lack any photos, wallpapers and videos. Nothing. Zero! I cannont even check out how the video player is performing.
Third, I get all this weird content from Ovi Store... O only non-official and bugged applications, nothing from Nokia. If I check out the personalization or audio/video sections, I only get asian wallpapers and stuff!!!!
Fourth, my widgets (like Facebook or AccuWeather) have TONS of problems, like:
- they keep the internet connection always on
- if somehow they disconnect from the internet, they never connect again to update their information
- they block all the times
Obviously I have firmware updated the device. When I realised that the firmware update (either via PC or OTA) does NOT reset the device (HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE????) I did a hard reset manually.
Still no change.
Is there any chance my N97 is... somehow... different, or this is how every N97 acts like?

Formatting the Mass Memory from within file manager sorted it. I then downloaded the Facebook and Accuweather Apps from Ovi Store and it's sorted that little problem out.
My next problem is, Nokia Music Manager doesn't recognise my phone being connected so I cannot put my music back on. Ovi Suite Sync doesn't work either. Anyone got a suggestions for that? It's visible to PC Suite OK though.

N97 Calendar Problem

This morning, after restarting my N97 due to it crashing (again), my calendar widget has disappeared from the home screen. I tried removing the widget from the home screen and adding it again, but this had no effect.
I checked the actual calendar application and the to-do notes and reminders are not appearing if "month view" is selected. They do however appear when viewing the calendar in either "day view" or "week view".
I use the calendar for planning my life, so would appreciate it if there was a way to get the calendar widget to appear correctly on the home screen again. Can anyone help?

I have the same problem. The calendar widget crashed and is showing a blank. On the actual calendar application, my meeting reminders are not appearing in any view. In fact, when opening the calendar application, the actual days on the calendar are not even displayed.
I tried to re-install the firmware. I backed up the contents of my phone. I restored the contents on my phone. Nothing is working!
When trying to sync the calendar with Outlook, the following error is shown on the computer:
Sync cancelled
Could not continue syncing
Reconnect the USB cable to your device or connect via Bluetooth. Then try syncing again

I am relying a lot on this function of my phone and is lost without it - please help!

N97 connectivity problems. N97 connects with WLAN ...

Hi,
A few days ago I installed the new firmware version 21 on my N97. Now when I turn on my phone it wants to connect to a wlan so that the phone can use that connection for your widgets that require internet. Before update 21 it always would connect with my mobile internet which is want I want it to do. This is not a problem for some apps since I can change the settings for those apps and have them connect to the mobile internet. But for some apps like the Ovi store or downloads of updates for my phone keeps asking for a wlan connection which in fact is turned off in my settings so why is it even asking for wlan?! The problem for those apps is that I can't change the settings so that they also connect with my mobile internet just like before with firmware version 20. I hope that you can solve this issue?

>but what happens if the biosupdate fails and the Lappy dont work anymore, is this ok with the garantee ?
Before you start BIOS update please check Toshiba BIOS-Update Information .
Bye and good luck!

Blog summary widget problem

I am getting reports that some users cannot load my iWeb '08 site. I have looked into it and not everyone is affected the same. In safari it's fine but in firefox on a mac it only loads a partial page with a js error. On a windows pc it's a crap-shoot as to if it will load or not. I can get my pc to load it with ie 7 but others cannot. Searching the forums and google I can see that I am not the only one with this problem.
It seems that the "Blog Summary Widget" is the error. I have tried everything including File / Publish All
How can I fix this?

Image gallery widget problems

First of all, I'm pretty new to coding and using CS4 on my Mac. I'm trying to create a simple lightbox gallery. I'm using the Adobe Widget Browser and downloaded Lightbox Gallery Widget. I had to copy/paste all of the coding because for some reason dragging/dropping didn’t work. All of my thumbnails look good, but when I view in Live mode or in a browser, the large image does not appear. All of my images are in the correct folder and linked, but I'm thinking there's a problem with the 'next', 'prev', etc images. I’m sure it’s something simple I’m missing, but I’m at my wits end. I’ve used the Markup Validation Service and it checks out ok. Here is my site:

I’d appreciate any assistance! Thank you!

Having a similar issue - I had taken some iphoto galleries off my mobile me gallery page but they were still linked to pages published in iWeb.
When I realized this I opened iWeb and took the gallery widgets out.
Then went into iPhoto and republished the galleries to mobile me, then back to iWeb and they still showed blank (like the two didn't know about eachother - name of the gallery is still showing in iWeb, but no longer displays photos).
Next try - delete the widget from iWeb page, delete the mobile me published gallery from iPhoto, setup a new (different name and all) published gallery in iPhoto - works, gallery page in mobile me works, back to iWeb and insert widget menu and the old galleries are still listed, no new galleries are showing up in iWeb now - great.
So, trying the tricks of shutting down iPhoto, iWeb, logging out of mobile me account in system preferences as well as via safari on me.com - then log back into every thing and start up iWeb again - still no new iPhoto published mobile me galleries showing in the iWeb insert-widget-mobile me menu.
Any help? Looking for a refresh in iWeb!?

Web Gallery widget problems

I'm having some issues with the mobileme web gallery widgets in iWeb. I first noticed when one of the widgets would not change photos as you roll over it, even though I had multiple photos in the gallery. I unpublished the gallery and re-published using a different name. The next time I started iweb it didn't find any of my mobile me galleries. Almost every other time I get this message when working in iWeb. If it does find my galleries, It doesn't find the new one, but it still lists the old gallery that I have unpublished. I've tried repairing permissions, rebooting. I've seen that a few people had this problem and it went away. Mine hasn't though. Any ideas?

N97 Mini - problem autolock with security code

I bought my N97 Mini last week. It works perfectly except when I activate autolock with securitycode, the phone refuses to react, when the autolock is activated of course. Only when I remove the battery I can reboot my phone.
I've contacted both the after sales service of the store where I've bought my phone as Nokia Careline.
Nokia referred me to a Nokia Care Point and the after sales service of the store proposed to give me a brend new phone.
I've chosen for the new phone, but the problem remains the same (sometimes it works, but sometimes it doens't).
I have the newest software (V10.0.020 on date 14-10-09), edited version 10.0.020.C01.01 (via *#0000#).
I can't continue te be given new phones that don't work properly.
What should/can I do more?
Thank you for your help.

and problem
when phone startup and not enter lock code the screen is off when used unlock key to open screen not open screen

Translation Widget Problem

Hello everyone. I am a pretty new apple user. Got to say im loving every minute of it. Well, two days ago my computer auto updated and since then for some reason my translation widget (came with comp) does not work. I can not type anything in it and it I cannot choose languages to use. Is there any way to reinstall it?

I was having the same problem with the translator widget and did what you said: put my preferences folder on the desktop and restarted it.
This led me to believe the problem was in the original preferences folder.
It was! I found, at the bottom of the folder, the widgets. I just trashed them, and
dragged the folder from my desktop back to my library replacing the new one that had formed. Restart and you should be good to go.
