Nokia E71 is not a business solution

Dear Nokia Support,
I am corporate support manager in a big IT company and I understand how support goes for the end users, so please do not answer "we are oriented to consumer market" or "this option is not for your region" I know what it really mean and I am already angry. Also I know that support stuff find such posts funny and nobody would fix anything for me.
About a year ago I have boulgt Nokia E71 for about $600 because I have read reviews, I liked my previous Nokia Navigator and some friends bought E71 and were kind of happy (now they have same problems and they don't). First what I was looking for was a nice metal case which would not be scratched or crashed. After a 3 months there were some dust under screen cover, now there are lot of dust. Also I have fould Nokia had 5 cent economy putting not metal but chrome plated plastic microphone cover panel (you know it, it's in a front side and at the bottom). At the moment crome start to go off and it become ugly. Nice!
Than a keyboard. Nice qwerty keyboard was so nice until 300.x firmware which broke Russian layout replasing й and э to Ukrainian variants. 6 months later you have released 400.x where this bug is fixed but not for Russians. Why? Actually 100.x firmware was good, no Facebook but less reboots and correct Russian layout. The phone itself is unstable some times (when GPS is used for a long time for example or many apps installed) but I have already got used to that bugs. I simply have removed most applications to free RAM and card space but why the hell have I got smartphone?
SMS Manager. You have add ability to create folders at the phone, but PC/OVI Suite cannot see them. Also I cannot make a filter foк incoming messages to put messages from bank to "Banking" filder. But I can send MMS which I don't use and PTT which I don't have in Russia! Great!
Then PC Suite. OK, I agree with nokia team it's outdated piece of **bleep** and sould be replaced. But why do the Ovi Suite don't support proxy? Who the hell broke Outlook support settings? Oh, yes, I have read on support forums you are "consumer oriented" with the Ovi. It's a lie, becausу I know that using Windows proxy setting is not difficult at all from the programmer prospective. And I still got business smartphone, I am not happy when you suddenly convert it to consumer. Yes, MMS, Youtube and Facebook support are nice for kids but I need a meeting reminder! It was wokring in PC Suite, I was able to select wich calendar to sync!
PS
Are there anybody besade Nokia managers who find Ovi Store nice and handy, specially from embeded browser of Norkia E71?
PPS
I don't think my next phone would be Nokia ever.

Nokia E71 & GPS Not Working

Dear All,
I have purchsed two E71s; one for my wife & one for myself.
I loaded Nokia Maps & could not get the GPS to connect to my position.
I went to the Nokia Store in Regent STreet London & they stated that it could take up to 30 minutes initially to find a signal.
A week later I am in the same situation.
I have reset the phone to factory settings & reloaded the maps & still nothing.
Is this a fault on the phone, if so I will return the device & notify you guys if faulty.
In the meantime, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Not working with E75 either. It just keeps telling me GPS signals are weak indoors (or whatever) and I'm standing outside - on a damn airport..!!! What on earth could be wrong this time with this Nokia..?
I'm not familiar with the E75, but do you have Assisted GPS turned on? If not, it can take quite a long time to find the satellites if you've significantly changed your location since the last time you used the GPS function - sometimes up to half an hour. With Assisted GPS switched on it should only take a couple of minutes.
Large buildings, high mountains and other obstacles can interfere with getting a GPS lock, and can be quite a problem depending on exactly what angles the satellites are to your position. Electronic interference from radar could also be a factor at airports.

Nokia E71 Does not charge ****Please Help*****

Hi everyone,
I purchased this phone second hand and was completely in love with it. It was working for about 2 weeks and suddenly stopped charging. Does anyone know how to fix this? It is no longer under warranty. When I plug it in, the battery bar does not increase.
I appreciate your time

Remove the battery.. Insert.. then retry..
Check by charging thru' a different wall outlet..
If you have access to another compatible charger.. try with that.. or If your charger is compatible with some other phone... try charging the other phone..
If you find that the charger / wall outlet is not the problem.. then Do you know.. since how long the first user was using the phone .and whether the battery was ever replaced ? If the battery is older than 1-1/2 year.. It may need a replacement..
..also may be the case that the Phone s having some Hardware issue..

Re: Nokia E71 & E66 New software available

On another issue with the E71 and the Bluetooth, I recently bought a Mazda RX-8 R3 (the 2009 model). The Nokia will pair with the R3's hands free system but, certain functions don't work, eg, hands free calling from the cars system!!
So I emailed the Mazda handsfree tech guys and this was their response: So if anyone finds an update to the bluetooth for the E71 that fixes this problem PLEASE let me know :-)

Best Mr. Watsama,
thank you for contacting us.
The Nokia E71 is not compatible with the Mazda RX-8 2009.
Therefore we cannot give a statement about whether it is (partial)
compatible or not.
This might be the reason why it does not recognize the mobile phone.
If you have any further questions,
do not hesitate to contact us.
best regards

Hi all,
I too have a Mazda burtooth system built in to my 09 Mazda 6. I presume the smae voice activated on as in the RX8. Same thing for me. The phone connects and you can recieve calls from the answer button but you have to send from the phone which is illegal in the UK. I dont have a fix, but i am aware that annoyingly the voice activated system works perfectly on my Nokia E51 which the 71 replaced. They are supposed to use the same operating system so does anyone know what has changed?????? I may have to go back to my old phone as i'm in the car all day as a rep and this is driving me insane!
Help anyone!

Nokia e71 New messages not showing in inbox

I recently updated my nokia e71 with the new software from pc suite, everything went fine but i recieved around 3 messages just after I had restored all my data onto it, I went into the inbox to read them but its showing no new messages. On the message menu my Inbox logo has a read star indicating it has new messages but they are not showing up, its also saying I have 4 unread messages when I synchronise my phone to my pc yet I cant read them via the pc. Help please!!
(Ive reset, restored to factory settings & rung nokia support with no help)

If you have a memory card, check to see if the phone is still storing messages in the same place. Example, if the phone is currently set to store messages on the phone memory, switch it to the memory card and see if the messages then show up.

Nokia E71 multiscanner re-installed but not workin...

HI
I JUST FORMATTED MY NOKIA E71.
AS YOU ALL KNOW , THE MULTI SCANNER DOES NOT SHOW UP AFTER A FORMAT.
BUT WITH THE HELP OF GUYS ON THE NOKIA DISCUSSION BOARD, I FOUND A SITE TO RE INSTALL MY MULTISCANNER APPLICATION.
IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM.
BUT NOW.....
EVERYTIME I USE IT ON A CARD... AND CLICK THE CAMERA... IT SAYS " READING CARD INFORMATION"
AND THEN... BLANK... NOTHING.. IT READS NOTHING!!!
PLEASE HELP!!

I have a similar problem with Multiscanner after installing Abby BCR on my N95. The test version of Abby stopped working after scanning a few businesscards and before the one day trial period was over with the message "no contact fields found". The problem is that the businesscard reader in Multiscanner also stopped working, I get the message "No layout blocks were recognized". The textscanner in Multiscanner still works fine, so suspect this problem is connected to Abby since both businesscard readers stopped working at the same time with similar messages. I've tried reinstalling the Nokia software on my phone and then reinstalling Multiscanner, but it still won't work. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Still not resolved: cannot sync iCal with either my iPhone or Nokia E71

I have tried everything that has been suggested in these posts, but neither the iPhone NOR the Nokia E71 want to sync with my iCal calendars (I have 4 set up in one iCal application). Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this? It used to work fine, but not is suggesting that the iCal calendar is not "writable".

I have just discovered something else on this issue (which still persists)..when I set up an appointment in the Nokia, it does find calendars to sync with but in Entourage instead of in my iCal? Does this help solve the problem that I have been having syncing iCal with Nokia/iPhone?? Anyone???

Nokia E71, PC suite will not recognize

hi, i have recently bought a Nokia E71 and i am trying to put some of my files on to my phone from my computer.
i am connecting my phone with cable connection,
PC suite version 7.1.40.1
cable driver 7.1.22.0
when i click the button "connect a phone" and its asking me to connect the cable, i did connect it,but it does not recognize it
and an error message pops up after about 5 mins
please help =/
also, is there any other way to put files on to my phone through the computer other than PC suite?
-jenny.

Hi Jenso,
If you have memory card on your phone, connect your device in Mass memory/data transfer mode, you can copy paste your files from pc to the phone. In Mass memory/data transfer mode, your phone will act as a memory stick(Pen drive, USB storage medium), so once done, make sure that you remove the phone by selecting remove hardware safely option, as just disconnecting the phone will result in data lost and its not recommended to unplug your phone without stoping it from remove hardware safely option.
Hope it helps. If i get time, i will check E71 connectivity with Nokia PC Suite.

E71 Nokia Email client not registering other accou...

I am using nokia E71. i ran the email setup wizard, using nokia email client i have configured it for my hotmail accounty. and then from some reason i have removed it. now when i am setting up the same email id using the nokia email client its always saying " that email is already registered with another nokia messaging account". and when i goto the email.nokia.com and try login using the same email id/pwd it says id/pwd do not match neither it let me go for the option of forgot pwd, there it says that "we cant send you the temp pwd, try again later". i have been to many forums and seems like this probleme is quite common. any help would be highly appriciateable. thanks.

I had the same frustratingly slow performance issues rendering the phone almost un-usable other than voice calls. Every thing that required to go to menu and load something was just **bleep** slow.
I however resolved all issues by changing the messaging settings to use memory card for emails instead of phone memory.
Do the following and instantly your phone will come alive again.
Menu - Communications - Messaging - Mail for Exchange - Settings - Other - Memory in Use - Memory Card
Do the same for other mail accounts.
MAGIC !!!

Lack of My Folder support for Nokia E71, even in n...

With my 6230i PC suite allowed me to see and manage folders and messages under My Folders. Now with my spanking new E71 it doesn't. Not only does it not let me manage them but I cannot even view their contents. This is not even supported with the latest Beta version of Nokia Communication Centre (Version 2.0). This is surely a major step backwards? Some problems
- Messages on my 6230i under My folders did not restore to the E71 and I have found no way to get them across. The 6230i does not let me move them back to the Inbox.
- Copy and paste between phones is not possible
- If you right clicked Inbox in Nokia Communication Centre 1.0 a New folder option appeared. This did not work. The solution in the new version appears to be to remove the option altogether.

HI,
One option may be, you can copy the 6230i messages to the PC and then paste that in Nokia e71. Hope it may help you

Nokia E71 hard reset and then....

Hi community, what happens is i perform a hard reset on my nokia e71, will i lost some software (that originally came with the phone)? or everything remains the same as when i bought it brand new?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@ Smorrissey, if I understand you correctly, then we agree that grschinon is the one beeing correct here.
@ Other users who search for help in this thread: Oposum is beeing a troll and should not be paid attention to. (I assume that oposum is refering to the "reset settings to factory default" manouver which would be *#7780# )...
people please understand, a sofware reset is provoked by software, a hardware reset is by hardware BOTH restore your phone to the brand new status.
If you only want to restore your settings the procedure is different.
Grschinon has already explained that in the posts above.

Nokia E71 OBEX PC Suite Services

Hello Everyone.
Please understand my environment first before posting any solutions.
I have installed E-Blue Mini Nova Bluetooth USB Dongle in my Toshiba notebook and it has been successfully installed all of its Windows Vista drivers. I than connect my Nokia E71 phone with my notebook using bluetooth link and have been paired successfully from Nokia PC Suite software. When i finish pairing my Nokia E71 with PC Suite software, it shows me a balloon there in task bar that some drivers needs to be installed and when i clicked on the Services button under the properties button of my Nokia E71 in the Bluetooth Devices box. It shows me that the drivers for the following three services didn't installed properly and that Windows Vista was asking me to put a CD in the drive in order to update the drivers. The services which needs to be installed drivers for Nokia E71 are
1. Nokia OBEX PC Suite Services
2. Nokia SyncML Server
3. SyncML DM Client
Can anyone help me out in this scenario so that i could install the drivers in order to use these services too.
Awaiting for reply.
Naeem

Hi Sage.
Thank you for your comments. Please note that i have tried to do all these things for about couple of times but didn't get success. Now, my phone is paired successfully with my notebook and with my Nokia PC Suite software. The three services which i have written in my first message was not activating as whenever i tried to check on those services, a small balloon in the task bar started to locate for the drivers and hence i do not have the drivers for those three services. Those are mentioned as Bluetooth Peripheral Device in the Device Manager of my notebook.
Please let me know if you have any other solution for this.

Nokia E71 Menu View Totally Changed. How to revert...

The menu view of my nokia e71 has changed radically. the installations,connectivity,media,tools etc all the folders have disappeared and all their contents (buetooth,infrared,gps,realplayer,recorder etc) are cluttering up the menu. i want all the folders back with their contents in them. what should i do to get back the normal menu view?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

try the following
2.*#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
3. hard reset - hold the following buttons * (star key), 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520

Nokia E71 sync cause multiple calender entries

I've got a Nokia E71 and every time I sync between my PV (Windows XP) , Nokia E71 and my iMac i seem to get multiple calender instances of mainly repeating calender notes as birthdays and national holidays. I've tried to remove all the contacts with birthdays from my PC. When re-syncing the multiple calendar items will show up again. Seems that the PC and Mac read the calendar notes differently and hence after every synchronization add the same calendar series of i.e birtdays. Any solution to this annoying problem ?

if you are only having a few of the units with the challenges, check to see if there has been any other apps installed that may have affected the MfE that you installed on them to interface wtih your exchange server.
if there are no challenges there, then i would suggest uninstalling the MfE on the devices and then rebooting the device and then reinstalling it back on the device and setting it up again.
i had the problem only one time in the past and changing the settings seemed not to fix it at all. but restarting the process did.
also, there could have been an issue with the coveraget those employees were in with thier handsets which could have prevented the unit from syncing, causing internal confusion, then trying again and backlogging the transfer....just a theory...as sometimes the network locks the data connection and while it shows that it is connected, it is frozen.
may be a good idea to see where those affected units are "travleing" in relationship to each other to see if the coverage as stated above is an issue.

Nokia E71 is not a business solution
