Nokia 5300 - Power Saver Problems

Hi!
I have a 5300 and sometimes my Power Saver mode does not work.
I'm sorry but I coudn't figure out the problem reprodution steps yet. All I can tell is that from a certain point beyond the power saver does not appear although it is activated. One way to correct this is to turn the phone off then on.
Is Nokia aware of this problem?
I found a similar post about another model, the suggested explanation resided on the operator's firmware, but in 5300's case the firmware is Nokia original...
Thank's.

I also tried formatting my memory card... that did not worrk either

Nokia N78 - Power Saver Timeout reverts to default

I received the nokia N78 from vodafone on Saturday and set it up for the power saver to kick in after 30 seconds (from the sliding option scale of 1-90 seconds. I found that after the first couple of times of this functioning as requested it reverts back to a default of 5 seconds before going into power save. The requested 30 seconds remains in the settings but still the default overrides. I tried resetting this a number of times with identical results. I received a replacement handset today and attempted similar setups of this feature with the same identical results....It becomes very frustrating when your mid text or searching the gallery and the screen goes blank despite specific settings requested....Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know how I can fix this???

N78 Firmware 12.046.051.1
NOKIA N78 GREAT BUT 3 BUGS (SO FAR)
Bug 1: On my N78 if I enable the "phone autolock period" to anything, the lights go off at 5 seconds and if I do factory defaults and do not use "phone autolock", the lights stay on as long as I set it to. Quite frustrating as I like my phone to "autolock always" if unattended or lost.
Workaround:
1) Factory defaults your Mobile and just don't use 'phone autolock'.
OR
2) A restart corrects everything temporarily, but after several timeouts, it returns to the 5 seconds setting.
Yes, it is really an annoying bug Nokia.
Bug 2: Weekly alarm; if I set a new weekly alarm for any future day and on saving it the day sets to today every time. This is just annoying.
Bug 3: With N78 ' in KEY-PAD autolocked mode', the alarm goes off when you press 'stop' for longer than a second, and surprise the message reader activates like postmaster.
Wakeup Nokia this firmware has been out for a while now and its time to come up with new firmware without bugggggggggssssssss....
Hope Nokia will come out with new bug free firmware for N78.

N96 V30.033 Power Saver Problems

Hi there,
I've just recently updated my N96 to V30.033 and now the power saver does not seem to work properly.
I have an .swf animation set in the Power Saver options (power save timeout set to 30 secs). After 30 secs when it tries to go into power save, the animation comes up briefly, and then comes out of power save (back to the standby screen. or whatever screen you had open last).
It will just keep doing this in a loop.
It used to work on the last firmware, any ideas?
The only way to stop this is not to use an animation.
Thanks.

Binx:This is definitly one of the problems comin directly from the firmware, because it used to work for me before as well and now all of a sudden with this **bleep** firmware, we are back to triangle of worst firmwares (V10, V11, V30)............

NB205-N210 Power Saver Problem

Hi!
Im haveing an error during install of the Power Saver software.
I have Win XP SP3 (Hungarian) and when I try to install the software, it gives me this message:
"1628: script based installation unsuccessful"
I read after this, and they say that "Idriver.exe" makes the error, I tryed to disable it but I cant,
Anyone can help me finding out how to install this vital part of software to my netbook, with out it the batter last only for about 3-4 hour (insted of 7-9)?
Thank you very much in foreward!

Microsofts Knowledge base suggests:
Method 10
If you get the message error "Error 1628: Failed to complete script based install"
And followed the instruction above and it didnt resolve the problem and you just create fresh
installation packet by using InstallShiled tool, please disable "Cache installation on local machine"
option during the installation packet create process.
Link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555175
So maybe it has something to do with temporary files.
Go into c:\documents and settings\[your name]\Local Settings\Temp
and delete all the files in there (close all other programs first, or do it in Safe Mode).
Also try disabling your Antivirus software. They can sometimes block installations.

Power Saver Problems M30-344 (CPU only uses 600MHz)

Hi!
In my m30-344 are changed mainboard and display.
At this time i can't use the full 1.5ghz of the cpu!
In the Power Saver Profile i can choose only the cpu-rate 1-3! I have now de-installed this tool and reinstalled the version by the net. But i can only use 600mhz!
What can i do?
[Edited by: admin on 07-May-05 08:18]

Hi
Just need a little more help on this! I rang up pc world today and they had no idea what i was on about with the micro code. The guy kept saying its because i have no prossessor intensive apps running so it would run at 600mhz, he also said that cpuz is probably reporting the wrong cpu speed.
I know this cannot be the case as in the bios it is set to high which will mean it will run at 1600mhz all the time and not drop to 600mhz. I also ran a game in the background, while raring a 600mb file with 6 ie windows open to no avail just to proove to him that it wasnt goin to 1600! :-)
But he still didnt understand! So i need some light shed on what this micro code buisiness is all about because i have to explain to them exactly what the problem is. I need some info on this by tuesday so i can send it off with the laptop! Any help kindly recieved!
Regards

Nokia E71 power saver (NONE)

Hi! Can anyone answer me if it is really normal in E71 that when you chose the power saver NONE, when the screensaver clock appears, it doesn;t move and update the time unless you press and hold the d-pad that shows the big clock.. unlike when you chose the power saver NOW PLAYING, it does move up and down, and the time is being updated.

As you said, the blank screen is definitely the most energy efficient.
If the "off" setting blanks the display then I think they meant to say "Screen off" but lost the "screen" somewhere in the translation.
You should also have another setting called either "Power saver timeout" or "Lightout time".

Nokia 5300 software update problem

I don't know why, but I decided to updated Nokia 5300 XpressMusic with the latest software from nokia.com.
I think that this was a mistake,
because after the update (using nokia pc suite, fully charged bateryy and so on...) things have changed.
Now, when i use downloaded from internet themes everything is almost okay, but if the top and bottom skin bars are grey for example on phone's desktop they are always blue, with every skin (except installed by default).
And if I use these new themes the icons are becoming bigged for e second and normal after that (in menu), which makes them ugly
And another thing, after the software update, when I go to menu and choose a category the icons inside the category are becomming a little bigger than before, which makes them ugly again, cause they are not made so big.
So I can fix that?Message Edited by zynth on 29-Jan-2007

I've also noticed that many themes found on the net, have a blue bar top/bottom. I don't know if it's caused by the software version 3.92, I never had any other.
But it's doable to edit these files yourself. You have to download the "Nokia Series 40 Theme Studio" application,
http://developer.nokia.com/main/resources/tools_and_sdks/index.html#media
and then follow instructions that are discussed in this thread:
http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97449
I've done it myself, and it works. I doubt it's a bug of 3.92 software.
About the logos getting bigger and smaller, again, that's probably a characteristic of the theme (you have to know that icon images are defined within the theme, it's more than only setting the background). If you don't like the logos, probably the theme is to blame, not v3.92

Nokia 7370 Power Saving Problems

Hi Everyone
I just got my nokia 7370 (the gold swivel one from the l'amour collection) and I'm having a minor problem.
When the phone is inactive it isn't displaying the date and time on a black screen as it should in power saving mode.
Power saving mode is switched on in settings but it isn't working.
Can anyone help me with this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
p21b

well my operator (Videotron) here in Canada, i can only connect via 3G for calling therefore i sort of need 3G to make and receive calls, otherwise it's like being in Offline mode!
so i can understand this person's issue.
As i have the same problem.
Basicly whenever my phone activates Powersaving, it literally disconnects me from the network (no longer able to make and receive calls)
I am using a Nokia E7

Nokia E63 Power Saver Animation Files

HI,
I would like to know where can I get Powersaver animation files for my Nokia E63 screensaver apart from the 2 I have got for default, or if there is any kind of software that allows me to create those kind of files.
Thanks.

A quick stab of the power button usually turns the backlight on for most Nokias.

Early 2013 15" rMBP (LG) Screen and Power Save Problems

OK, so the first frustration is that I have this new 15" rMBP set to never sleep while on power. I routinely come back to it, only to find that I am logged out and all of my apps have been closed. Very annoying. But now also this:
Only way to solve is to close lid and re-open or reboot. Do you bright folks think this is firmware/software related or is it because I lost the lottery and got an LG screen?

When you say NEW what do you mean by that? If it is older then a couple of weeks it really isn't NEW, at least the way I think (New is I bought it yesterday to several days ago). If it is less then 14 days old take it back and return it for a full refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Ask Return Policy for Full Refund. Then buy another that may work correctly.
If older then 2 weeks then the only thing you can do it take it to Apple and have them fix it, if possible, or replace it with one that works correctly.

Help to format memory card (Nokia 5300)

Hi everyone.
I have a problem with my Nokia 5300. The problem occurred about two weeks ago and then escalates up to today, where it now has gone all bad.
The problem is my memory card. I haven’t changed it, so it is the original card that came with the phone.
It started with, that my phone couldn’t find my memory card. Then I had to shut down the phone and start it up again. It worked.
But now, I can’t get my phone to see the card. I’ve tried to take the card out of the phone and then inserted it again.
When I do that, the phone can see the card, but when I try to enter it, it says that the card isn’t formatted and therefore can’t be accessed.
According to the Nokia 5300 manual, I’ve to enter the memory card to format it – so it’s quite a paradox. I would like to back my card up, but that doesn’t seem to be a possibility.
Is there a way to format the memory card or is there someone with a explanation and/or a solutions to this problem? It’s really frustrating.
I just updated my phone, so the newest version of the software is installed. I’ve backup my contacts, messages and calendar – and some of the pictures from my memory card. I could access it in the beginning of the backup / update, but suddenly it disappeared.
Thanks

The best thing to do is to get a replacement.Message Edited by nj15 on 16-Aug-200703:48 PM

Nokia 6233 - screen awakes from Power Save / Sleep...

I have Power Save and Sleep Mode on, but ScreenSaver off.
However, the screen often awakes from PowerSave / Sleep (not sure which - manual doesn't describe the difference) and lights up.
This is especially annoying when driving and the Nokia is on a hands-free mount: it's quite distracting, and occurs about every couple of minutes.
It may be that when driving, I'm moving between different signal strengths, and that change to the powersaved screen display activates it again. But it has also happened with the phone in a building.
Any suggestions welcome

I have exactly the same problem, as do several colleagues. It's also very distracting when it sits on a bedside cabinet, lighting up the bedroom every few minutes in the middle of the night. Sadly I have no suggestion - just want to get this topic higher up the heirarchy so that maybe someone who knows an answer will spot it more easily.

N79 Power Saver Theme Problem

I bought an N79 just last mounth.
it's a sweet phone but i have an small problem.;
when i choose a theme for power saver (Date, text, slide show , ....) it have been shown for only 2 seconds and disappear and screen goes to BLACK.
even i choose longest time for power Saver but it did not work.
anyone has problem like this? any idea?
Does NOKIA fix this problem in new firmware?
how can i report this BUG to NOKIA?
thanks
Nokia N79 4GB
SW Version: 32.001 RM-348 MEA

I really doubt this is a deliberate design. Most other Nokia phones have the same "power saver" which pops up when the phone is idle, and all of them - even current ones - are set up so that:
1) The power saver appears after its timeout
2) The backlight switches off after its own, independent timeout
3) The power saver remains shown regardless of the phone's current state
Why would the Power Saver have its own timeout and selection of Power Saver screens designed to show you the date and time, if it can only be shown for 2 seconds? I'm disappointed that Nokia support is disregarding this issue, but I assume it's more out of ignorance and a stock response than any insight into their plans for future firmware updates. Is there a "bug report" page or something we can use to ensure it's properly logged and not just dismissed?
Help I'm trapped in a sig factory.
