Nokia 8800 original silver problem?

Hi can anyone help me I have a nokia 8800 silver and recently it has developed a problem where I cannot hear the person who has called me? When I turn the phone on the nokia tune is quite loud and audible as normal but when I am making a call I can barely hear the other person? It is really strange can anyone advise how to repair this ? Is it a common fault ? I have checked the speaker volume on the phone and it is fully up so it isn't anything as simple as that. I would really appreciate any help with this as I love this phone and do not want send it to phone heaven. I look forward to your responses.
Thanks

might be the earpiece that has failed. have you checked that you are up to date with the latest firmware for your device via checking via Nokia suite? also try Restoring your phone to factory settings.
failing that, you will need to take your phone to nokia Care for inspection: http://nokia.com/support

Nokia 8800 Ringing Volume Problem

I have a Nokia 8800 and i'm finding that, even though I have the ring volume to max, when a call comes in it is ringing at the minimum level. I have tried to reduce the volume and then turn it up again and this doesn't work either. Any suggestions anyone????

other people have mentioned this before and were told to try getting the phones firmware updated.

Nokia 8800 se Sirocco Problems

Hi I,ve been using my sirocco for a while now but there seems to be a new problem that i'm having. Many a time when i receive a phonecall and when im calling someone the network coverage on the phone dispaeeras and the phone gets cut off. This happens only during phonecalls. I am sure it is nothing to do with my mobile network because this problem started recently and i normally use my phone mostly at work as i have done for a long time. Any help and/or advice will be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Zoeb

I have had the same problems with cutout. i sent it back to Nokia UK as I live in New Zealand now. they tested it and the batteries and said the batteries were fine. i sent it back again (at great trouble and expense) with a letter saying that it wasn't ok as the problem was still there. it cut out after 2 texts from full recharge so could they please fix it and use it for a couple of days before they sent it back to me so they could see the problem. They sent it back again saying it was ok and to buy another battery. Needless to say it wasn't. i have emailed them at nokia care and at the place it was "fixed" and they refuse to have anything more to do with the phone despite it being under warranty.
I have emailed various nokia people but no-one answers my emails and wants to help. now, of course, it is out of warranty. I feel really ripped off and angry at nokia for refusing to stand behind their warranty and their product. especially now I see that so many others have this problem.
does anyone know what I can do? its an expensive phone to just throw away. but its useless as it is.
thanks

Not working Nokia 8800 sirocco

Dear Nokia owner's,
I hope that somebody out here can help me with my problem.
I own one sirocco in black and one in silver. Both are original, bought and made in germany. No doubt that they are original.
The black one, is turning one and than for some reason turning off after 2 min. A good repair shop or a official nokia could fix this problem for sure I guess.
My silver one is a little bit more problematic, I had it in my pocket durring one of thoose hurricane rain here in Miami, Florida and after that the display was just lighting on and off without showing something. It means that the phone is still working but the display or the connection to it might be the problem.
I need to know, where in the U.S or in the Miami area I can give or send it to somebody fix it!!!

All you can do is type *#7780# and follow the on-screen instructions.
That code only works on nokia series 60 smartphones. The 8800 sirocco is not a smartphone.
On series 40 phones the only option you have is factory reset from the settings menu. If that fails to fix your problems then the only option you have is to visit a nokia care piont/service centre for a full reset. It's also worth getting them to update it's firmware.

DT-8 Stand for Nokia 8800

Hello All,
I am trying to find an extra desk stand for my Nokia 8800, but it looks like official Nokia stores do not offer one. My local retailer doesn't have one either.
There are some on ebay, of course sellers claim that there are authentic, but I can hardly believe this. Also, found one on this site http://www.directmobileaccessories.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=2236 but also have doubts about it being genuine Nokia item.
I will appreciate any advises and comments.
Regards,
Denis

I'm sure one has been found in the 2 years since the original post was made

Truth about nokia 8800 Sirocco by myself and the d...

right i saw a lot of people that need help with this issue
well first of all there is the nokia 8800 sirocco Gold and the 8800 sirocco Gold Look, don,t be mistaken the second is not a fake it is acctualy a normal silver sirocco with a gold brush.
the firt one is 18k Gold not all gold but a small layer of gold over it.
how to spot a fake!
any IDIOT that still believes that a 8xxx serie still says made in finland, dont even reply on this post cause you got a fake sirocco.
if you have a real 8800 sirocco or 8600 luna they both will say made in GERMANY.
second, the Gold look sirocco is about 385 to 450 euros.
a realy gold edition is around 650 to 800 euro's
third, a real sirocco Gold will have a Gold certificate if it does not have that its either the Gold look or a complete Fake.
fourth, if there are no letter on the back of the phone dont, buy it,it has to say nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold right in the middle of the back, if not dont buy it.
LAST AND MOST IMPORTANT
on this nokia site you will see my nokia, click on it make a my nokia account.
in this account you can put in imei numbers in of your nokia phone, if you got the brains this is your key for checking any imei of any nokia phone.
you will get feedback about what phone you have. this is the only true way to verify if you got the real thing!
i wish you all a good and luxery 8xxx day!

Sync Nokia 8800 with Mac OsX

Hi.
Does anyone know how to sync a Nokia 8800 with Mac OsX, in order to get all contacts over to an iPhone.
Is there a free software out there (whyever Nokia doesn´t provide one).
Thx,
Mike
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Nokia used to produce Mac versions of the PC Suite software back in the long-gone days of the early Communicator series, but Apple applied pressure for that to stop, because they wanted all Apple users to sync with their own iSync software.
Regretably, Apple is not great at ensuring compatibility with all phones from all manufacturers. For more information, go to http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/product-support/isync/compatibility-and-download - you will see that the original Nokia 8800 is compatible with iSync but that subsequent versions like 880 Sirocco, 8800 Arte etc. are not yet covered.
iSync itself is made by Apple, and the Nokia site will link to Apple to download it. Nokia does provide some plugins to make some common models work, but I don't think that later 8800 versions are included. It is possible to search for third-party plgins that may solve the issue if your 8800 is not the original model.

ISync Nokia 8800

BTFE works fine with my Nokia 8800 but I can't get it to sync - the bluetooth connection drops on the handset.
It's listed as compatible with iSync on the Support site. Does anyone else have this problem? If so, are there any known workarounds?
Imac Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

This is a Nokia Series 40 mobile phone. The series indicates the operating system on a Nokia. A Nokia Series 60, 80 or 90 is based on Symbian OS. Nokia Series 30 and 40 are based on Nokia's own operating system.
Apple iSync 1.5 and 2.1 supports Symbian OS based mobile phones but no Nokia Series 40 phones. Search for the various topics about the Nokia 6230 and have a look at MacMedia PhoneDirector.

Nokia 8800 Sirocco - good or bad buy?

I'm thinking of entering into my first contract tomorrow and wanted an Nokia 8800 Sirocco
My friend works for a phone shop and can get me one on Orange.
Would anyone avoid it? I heard the battery life was terrible on the 8800, is it the same issue with the sirocco? Also, I have a N70 at the moment but don't use email, from reading the forum it appears people are having a lot of trouble with email? Is it something that goes wrong even if you don't use email?
Any advice would be very welcome
Cheers
Rob

Ive read and heard from friends that the battery has been improved from the 8800 series although it is supplied with two batteries also.
I have the original 8800 and im very satisfied with it.
I dont use the camera and music,video and bluetooth functions which all add up to drain the battery.
I get 2-3 days from each battery.
The scricco has a better camera {which i dont use} and has the powersaver option cured. ie : it scrolls down the screen unlike the 8800 which does not which in time caused the lcd screen burn. It has also a better keypad, although im not sure about the thumb indentation on the slider..lol
My advice is go for it and you have been offered a decent contract too !!
I would try for a 12 month contract tho.
Some users have experienced difficulty when attempting to use the e mail function as it disappeared from the menu system when accessed. If you use e mail from your service provider then ask to try a demo fone to see what happens.
I dont use it myself as my provider gets enough money from me as it is..lol
Good luck with your choice and yes im well jealous....

Nokia 8800 arte software update

Hi i recently updated the software on my 8800 arte to the latest one v9.41. The reason why i chose to update it was because everytime i watched a video, the phone would reboot back to standby.
so anyway the new v9.41 has fixed the reboot problem when watching videos but another problem has arised. I used to set reminders, birthdays and meeting notes on the previous version and it gave me an alarm tone and notification of the reminder.
However, the new v9.41 doesn't give me any reminder notification or alarm tone. When I switch the phone off and turn it back on, it will give me a reminder tone, but by then its too late.
Has anyone else experienced the same with the software update 9.41. I wish i didn't update it as I could have lived with the reboot problem when watching videos.
Is Nokia aware of this problem??
Thanks
Minesh

Hi dmh87, Thanks for the reply. Yes thats right the reminder comes up at midnight or the next time you remove the battery.. Have your already updated the firmware to the latest v9.41. In my opinion this is the problem version. My phone orignally came with v6.40 and then I decided to upgrade it to fix the freezing and rebooting problem. It then updated to v7.10. I've had the phone since Oct 2008 It seems to be such a shame that Nokia charge premium prices for this handset but updates still have bugs. NOKIA GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND FIS THIS PROBLEM!!
