Nokia e71 menu key not working

i recently updated the firmware of my phone, connecting to the computer using ovi. Now the problem is, when the menu key (left selection and home button) is pressed the menu doesnt open. This doesnt happen in the begining, but after some time it happens, and then onwards the menu doesnt open. Please give me a solution.

Reset the E71. Dial *#7370# 12345 reformat, you'll lose all data. Make a backup first and restore without the settings.

Nokia 701 menu button not working and other bugs

I have a "brand new" 701 with 111.020.0307 that won't update to 111.030.0609 because I'm in Italy .
Now I have a really annoying bug: the menu key, sometimes, stops working and won't bring up the menu if pressed briefly, and won't bring up the task list either (when pressed long).
Anyone experiencing this bug? The only way I found to make it work again is turn off and on again my phone... And the task list can't be found in menus, AFAIK. I could do that with my old 5800XM...
I bought my phone ONE WEEK ago... I really wouldn't like to format/reinstall already! Ideas?

soft reset may solve it. Look in settings and phone management.
Dont have to do a hard reset first. After soft reset, try reinstall the latest firmware through nokia suite if soft reset didnt solve your problem..
I have 701 and I am impressed overall with the device. Actually... I am very pleased with it.

Multimedia Menu Key not working (N95)

Thanks for confirming my suspicion.
It's what Nokia will do about it now and how do we alert them?
Well this is an official Nokia forum and there are representatives that look over the forum so I'm sure it'll be picked up as an issue and worked upon.
Can someone do a check for me please as my multimedia key started working for me again, and I don't recall restarting it (or it rebooting) between the alarm going off and the multimedia key starting to work (unfortunately I haven't been able to find an "uptime" tool for the Symbian 60 environment).
Could you close all open applications on your phone, then goto Tools->Memory card and backup the contents of your phone onto your memory card, and THEN try the multimedia key to see whether it starts working again ?
If it does, then I think I know what is happening. I've noticed that if I have MobiPocket open and do a backup of my phone contents onto memory card, what the phone does is actually close MobiPocket down so that it hasn't got any files open, then back everything up, then re-opens it for me. If this is the case, and the multimedia key starts working again for other users after carrying this action out, then it may be that the backup operation is closing a process which has been left running in the background of the phone once a recurring alarm has gone off.

Edward

Menu key not working on N8

My menu key has stopped working all of a sudden.
The key is recognised as when it is pressed when the phone is locked the on screen unlock option flashes up. I just can't access any settings, apps etc.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

OK, so when you press the unlock icon that has flashed up, does the phone not select the homescreen?
Yes, it does. I have an update though. I left the phone switched off all night and when I restarted it this morning the button is working again! Very confusing as I restarted it countless times yesterday after the problem first emerged.
However, I now have another problem with the unit though where the battery is only lasting about 4 hours. There is an incredible amount of heat on the back of the phone.
I will post it as a new thread....
Ilove nokias but they do have a habit of behaving like this. Frustrating.

Try restarting the phone. If that does not work then you have have to try resetting. Try the restart first and lets hope it works.

Curve 8520 Menu key not working! Any workaround for this?

I bought a Curve 8520 from ebay for a bargain price as the menu button (one with blackberry logo on) didn't work. It clicks and makes contact with the metal circle underneath but doesn't open the menu. I've also tried pressing the metal bit below the rubber with a pointy thing, still no joy so I can only assume its a hardware fault. As I don't know the phones history, I have no idea whether it could be water damage, been dropped, keys pressed too hard etc etc...
As I bought it on ebay, I cant take it back to the store. Its incredibly frustrating as it is the most important button on the entire handset. I've tried wiping it and reloading the OS etc, tried every kinda of software workaround I can think of but no joy.
However, I know that the buttons on the side of the phone can be customised to do different functions, so is there a way to duplicate/spoof the menu button to another different button? Or failing that, as the phone supports Java is there some kind of application which lets you re-map the keys to custom specifications?
I've seen many forums and many other threads where people are complaining of the same problem, I'm at my wits end, and to buy the same model brand new is £120, which seems a lot for a phone thats nearly obsolete.
Any pointers, hints, tips, useful shortcuts, or any info on this problem would be greatly appreciated!
thanks

This same thing as been happening to me! I went to the Verizon store today and talked quickly with a representative and he said "you need to update your software or you need to get a new phone." He was rude and he was wrong about having to update my software because I did that and it says I am up to date.
If anyone else is also having this issue and knows how to solve it WITHOUT talking to the tech people and getting a new phone, please let us know!

Return & shift keys not working

My keyboard is unresponsive. problms started w/ "L" and "9" and "Enter/Return" keys. Did a s/w update and reboot but still no success. Now only "Shift" and "Enter/Return" keys are unresponsive.

I tried the troubleshooting steps listed in the article linked above but ran into the following problems:
a) the View menu doesn't have a "Speech" item listed (I'm running 10.9.2)
b) My MacBook Air doesn't have a disk drive; impossible to start up from an Install disk as recommended in step 10.
None of the other steps helped (sticky keys off, slow keys off, mouse keys off, etc)
Looking at the forums, looks like several other people have the issue of just the right-side shift and return keys not working, like me. Could we please have some advice that is specific to that particular issue?
In the meantime I'm using only the left-side shift and have downloaded and installed KeyRemap4MacBook and remapped my backslash key so it issues the "return" command. A clunky work around but it seems to do the trick, at least.

NOKIA 202 RED BUTTON NOT WORKING

Hi, DEVRAMP. How did you flash your phone? Is there a battery indicator when you charge it? You may try the following solution below:
Check that the keypad is not locked.
Make sure that all keys are responding correctly when they are pressed. In some cases, a key may get stuck and freeze the whole keypad.
Try removing and replacing the covers (if your phone supports that feature). Check that the power and side keys on the cover are properly aligned (e.g. pushed out) to their respective positions to have a proper tactile feel when pressing the keys.
Keep us posted.

My backlit keyboard keys not working?

How come my backlit keyboard keys not working? When I try to use them I get a circle with a line running through it?

cpickrell wrote:
Jax, the backlight is currently usinig a sensor to turn the light on and off for you. This uses the least amount of battery. If you want to test or control the lighting yourself, go to the Apple Menu, select System Preferences, click on the Keyboard icon. Here you can turn the automatic setting on and off. If it is off, you can use they keyboard keys to turn the keyboard lighting on and off.
Exactly!

Windows key inoperative dv7-4285 windows 7 - 64 bit. only key not working

Windows key inoperative dv7-4285 Windows 7 - 64 bit. The Windows key is the only key not working.

Thanks for the information,
I have a couple of suggestions that may help with this issue. My first suggestion would be to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the keyboard.
Follow these steps to do that:
Click the "Start Menu"
Type "Device" in the search box under all programs
Select "Device Manager"
Click "Keyboards"
Remove all devices under keyboards by right clicking and selecting" uninstall" on each device
Restart the computer
How long has the button not been working?
Are there any other keys not working or producing the wrong character?

6630: Certain Keys Not Working

For some reason, my Nokia 6630 has certain keys not working. Actually, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. I doubt it's a cover problem, because even when I take it out, the keys still don't work.
The "1", "3", "C", Left, and Up don't work at all, and it's annoying. Some help, please?

The phone is too old and I think it has no FW upgrade in NSU.
I guess this could be a hardware fault. Better if you go to service point.
But before that have you tried a hard reset?*#7370#.
[It will clean up the phone memory, so better back up by PC Suit).

Mah nokia lumis 710 camera not working... what to...

mah nokia lumis 710 camera not working... what to do????

When you try to open the camera either by hitting the camera key or going to the app list, what happens?
1. Reboot the phone. Press the volume down and power keys together for 15 seconds until the phone vibrates and starts up.
2. Check that the software of the phone is updated.
3. Reset the phone by going to Settings > About. This deletes all the content of the phone so make sure to create a backup copy of your files. See "Reset and restore your phone" in this link to backup important data on the phone: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2606900.
If above steps would not help, bringing the phone to a Nokia Care Point is what I'd suggest: http://www.nokia.com/global/support/locations/
