Nokia E72 Navi Black Select Key In-Flight

On every normal day, the new Nokia E72 Navi Black Select Key works fine, when used in-flight, the Navi Black Select key become inoperative ? Don't understand why?
After landing & on ground, the Navi Optical black select key starts to work in normal way.
Is there any reason why the black navi select key on Nokia E72 become inoperative in-flight?
Is this normal on all Nokia E72 phones?
Please note that I downloaded Version 023.002 in my Nokia E72.

This is a backward step from the E71. In fact, I am very unimpressed with the email solution on the E72 compared with the E71, which is inferior to the lastest version on my E71 (I've moved back to the E71 from my E72).
Whether I want to see HTML emails (I do) or not should be for me to decide in the settings as I can in Nokia Messaging on the E71. The E72 is a step backward in that you still have to select 'view HTML email' and even then the HTML support is poor. This was like one of the previous verisons of Nokia Messaging on the E71 before Nokia updated it.
Don't be fooled into thinking that Nokia Messaging being integrated into the firmware on the E72 is a good thing; it's not! The solution is inferior to the current standalone version of Nokia Messaging available on the E71.
MfE may be a step forward, but when it won't work with Google Mail for Domains (like my E71 did without any problems) it is pointless. I even have problems with Roadsync in that 'push' email causes some loop on the contacts synchronisation which then results in push email being switched off.
All in all, the E72 is not the great step forward unless you use Exchange 2007 and use the newer version of MfE. For any other 'consumer' email (which we all like to have work and personal email on out smartphones) it is POOR!
 Come on, Nokia, sort it out! Don't you have any beta testers? Surely some ex-E71 users would have been able to point out these massive inadequacies!

  • Nokia E72 custom theme problem

    well i faced a wierd problem recently ,
    i don't like the original theme of the phone so i shearced for a black theme on ovi store and i did find a black theme and installed successfully and i made sure it's 4 e72
    so when i'm on business mode  i go to themes > general to select it so it works just fine
    but when i switch the mode to personal then go to the themes menu  it autmatically change my them from black personal to golden business so i reselect black personal again the go back to my business mode > themes menu ( when i click on themes the theme changes to also from my custom theme to original golden business) so i must reselect it again
    so it seems that i have to customize only one theme if itry to customize the other it would corrupt
    have any one noticed this.

    well yes it's me and my current firmware ver is as listed in my sig.is 053.001 of the 26 of nov 2010
    and the wallpaper issue of  the modes happened after i updated to the new firm ware
    it wasn't there when i first bought the phone fw 032**** i cant remember actually
    and the firm ware was installed succesfully by me and by nokia care centre as i went 3 times
    (i miss my old firmware actually, but unfortunatlly i can't get it any where
    [ i also asked nokia care to install my older version but they told me it's no longer available  ]
    and i haven't restored any system files that would corrupt the software
    i use the ovi sync just to sync contacts and calendar and notes
    and for the theme issue which i mentioned in that topic it's realy annoying u can`t modify both themes just one theme only
    and for ur phone it nokia e73 with different firmware version that does'nt have corruption .
    mine 053.001 is a big mistake and i did the biggest mistake for installing it.

    Hi Antonis,
    I hope the below can answer your questions:
    1- If you are using the Nokia C3-01, then the notification lights is indeed available. You can set it through: Menu>>Settings>>Display>>Notification details>>Set it to Show. At the same time, make sure that the light effects are set to "On". To do so, follow these steps: Menu>>Settings>>Lights>>Lights Effects>>On.
    Once you set up the above on the Nokia C3-01, whenever you miss a call or a message, the notification light in the middle will work. It is actually located on the silver colored bar between the green and red buttons for calls. Also, the Nokia C3-01 has a very good battery life. Therefore, it might actually fit your requirements as it is a touch screen phone with a standard keypad for SMS typers such as yourself.
    2- As for the E52 and the E72, they are actually both great phones and both of them have the notification lights. You can refer to the previous post for steps on how to set them up.  But from personal experience, the light effects on the E52 is actually brighter than any other phone that i have seen. So, since you are also interested in the keyboard of the Nokia E52 for SMS purposes, I think you should go for that one. 
    3- However, as far as Blackberry is concerned, I would recommend you to contact them directly for any details or help on their phone's features.
    In conclusion, if you wish to have a simple "Old Fashioned" but sophisticated phone, I would recommend you to go for the Nokia C3-01. However, if you wish to have a smartphone with all the above features that you require, then the E52 would be a great choice as well. All in all, the decision is in your hand

    Hi GillRogers
    OvI Maps application is built into your phone firmware although it won't be the latest v3.04 version from here:http://maps.nokia.com/services-and-apps/ovi-maps/f​ree-downloads#/nokia-e72/
    You do however need to install OVI Suite on your PC to enable you to download regional maps, although you need a microSD memory card and you must run OVI Maps application at least once with memory card in place; you also need to download chosen voice files for "voice navigation" to work.

    Is there a shorcut key on the querty keyboard for starting music player in Nokia E72 ?
    Thanks

    No.
    But you can reprogram one of the one-touch keys so that, for example, a long press on the "contacts" key fires up the music player.

  • Nokia e72, gmail setup + syncing contacts and cale...

    My objective was to
    1) get my contacts into the phone from this account, as I had on my old windows mobile device
    2) set up my gmail account on my new nokia e72
    1) getting contacts from gmail into the phone.
    Go here:
    http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=147951
    and carefully do whatever is instructed.
    *This works for calendar also (I assume you will want your google calendar to come into the phone, and sync thereafter. But all-day entries on google become 24 hour entries, modified by your timezone (eg xyz birthday, 15 mar 2010 5.00 am to 16 mar 2010 5.00 am). Otherwise the calendars seem to sync ok therafter (didn't spend much time there).
    *This does not work for tasks. (read the google sync instructions carefully for nokia. but not for tasks, or for email bodies (though email headers sync, and you can probably create and send, and delete etc your email on the phone)
    *This does not work email either, ie you can see the message headers, but can't see the bodies of emails on the phone.
    The explanation for this I found after much digging is that Mail for Exchange on Nokia is actually meant for Microsoft ActiveSync servers, and Google is providing limited sync facilities using this ....system. (correct me if I'm wrong). See the datasheets on Nokia Europe websites about Mail for Exchange.
    Over all, a pity, but you can't blame Nokia. As for Google (in whose hands further improvement lies for MFE playing nice with google mail), I hope, and believe they will make things better here (unless they lose their interest in it like they did with google gears).
    2)Now getting your email from gmail into your nokia E72: Here Nokia is at fault, and a serious deficiency. I went to email setup in the menu's and started the wizard to create a new account. It seemed to have preconfigured setups for common email providers like gmail, yahoo etc. I started the gmail set up wizard, keyed in my username and password, then waited 5 seconds, and the screen went back to the previous one. This kept repeating, every time I tried. Tried everything: checked internet connectivity (wifi), closed all other apps including the MFE I had set up earlier, switched off and on the phone, everything short of standing on my head. So what works? How do you set up a personal gmail account on your nokia e72? go here:
    http://www.techniqx.com/2010/02/workaround-for-configuring-gmail.html
    (I paste that text here in case that page is removed:
    "The email software in Nokia E72 still has lots of bugs. To configure your Gmail account, it’s not as easy as selecting Gmail and entering the credentials. That simply won’t work as there is a bug. Instead, workaround is to select “Other” and enter a false id like [email protected], this will take you to the next page to select the type. Select “POP/IMAP”. Now, you will get an option to enter your credentials and modify advanced settings. Here change your email id back to [email protected] and enter the credentials as mentioned here> (the gmail site for imap manual setup):
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799
    And you have gmail set up. Quite inelegant process of setting up gmail on this nokia phone, I would say.
    Nokia, please iron out the bugs and inconsistencies in your flagship models' primary functions. Otherwise the phone functions very well, the interface is nice and attractive. And while the bugs are still there, please put up the limitations and  the workarounds if any prominently. Nobody expects 100 % perfection.

    I had a number of problems setting up Google Apps with my E72 phone. Mail, Calendar and Tasks were not syncing.
    Mail
    I have spent far too long setting up google apps to sync properly with my new E72 (latest software installed). It really is a superb phone but if Nokia is not going to fully support integration with Google Apps with a simple app then Android and Blackberry will simply take over for Apps users. It really isn't up to Google to solve this its up to Nokia. Are we going to move from Google Apps or change our phones????
    I have gmail and  business google apps accounts and both are now syncing properly with what seems to be pretty good Nokia email software on the phone. This is allowing me to receive, send, view attachments, view sent mail etc. Here are the steps I took from the beginning. Its a repeat of some of the good advice above which helped me on my long journey!
    1. Enable IMAP for the google accounts. Couldn't get anything to work otherwise.
    2. Follow this instruction https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78887 
    3. The inbox should now be working however you now need to map the other folders you want to see on your mobile. While at your inbox go to >settings>mailbox settings>what to sync>folder subscriptions.
    4. Click on Gmail and highlight the folders you want to see
    5. Go back to your inbox and go to the dragdown list of folders and highlight 'More Folders'. Under 'Gmail' you will find your sent items along with attachments etc. Problem solved. Its not a pretty solution but at this stage like me you just want something that works.
    Calendar
    This was a nightmare and I am now running a third party app called Googasync which is working fine. In 10 days time I will need to buy this so if someone knows how to setup calendar syncing properly without it please let me know.
    Tasks
    Googasync will not sync Tasks and I don't know if there is any app out there that will. If someone can help please let me know. Surely this should be pretty simple!?!?!
    By the way I mailed Nokia support last Thursday on the above but have not received a reply other than to tell me that Google Apps is 3rd party software and not supported. Nokia needs to wise up.
    In summary its a great phone and I've moved from a Blackerry Bold to it but I shouldn't be spending days finding workarounds!!

    Hi XPTO,
    Welcome to the Nokia forum.
    When you go to Menu > Email > Settings > Select the email account > When to Sync, you will be able to set the sync interval. There's currently no option in the E72 to keep the phone connected to the internet when the battery is low, so the email account will not be synced in such a situation. This is to make sure the battery will last as long as possible.

  • Nokia E72 Nokia Music issue

    Hi.. I purchased a E72 and activated GPRS on it. I also got a 25 track  free download voucher. I was able to download 12-15 tracks from my phone. However when I Got to Media--Music Store. It tries to connect thru GPRS, however instead of getting regular page to search songs etc, it gives a web page with message that this device is not currently supported. It also gives me a website to check what all phones are supported. I called Nokia care line, but they were of no help. Instead they todl me to uninstall and reinstall ovi player on my phone. I tried to do that but there is no such option to do that and Ovi player is not listed as an app to be uninstalled. Please help me to understand why I am unable to download any tracks from Nokia music now where as I was able to do that earlier. I have also tried to select other access points for GPRS but no help. I can browse Ovi store and download apps from there. I can also browse other web sites on my Phone.

  • Nokia E72 IMAP mail problems

    Cross posted from here: http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?p=680673#post680673
    Yeah, E72 e-mail client needs real work if it wants to be a competitor with iPhone 3GS (two of which I own) and Blackberry.
    So far, I found these problems with it:
    1. The e-mail client should be able to display all IMAP folders. Currently there is no option to do that. This is a major functionality problem. In fact, displaying all folders available on the IMAP server should be the default. Instead, the client offers the folders that don't exist at all - silly choice indeed (for instance, I get a choice to see "Sent Items", which doesn't exist on any of my IMAP servers).
    2. If large number of IMAP folders is selected, e-mail client won't work any more (becomes frozen for lengthy periods of time) and may even corrupt mailbox setup (in my case, it renamed two of my mailboxes to the same name - it just called them Email). Note, it didn't corrupt my mail - it corrupted mailbox setup on the phone. Essentially, mail doesn't work after large number of folders have been subscribed to. The client keeps connecting/disconnecting and eventually gives up.
    3. There is no selection for sent folder. This is a critical feature for any IMAP client. It would be nice if drafts could be selected too, but that's not critical.
    4. IMAP IDLE is not implemented properly. There are a number of selections as to when to poll the IMAP server, but that is not proper push e-mail support. There should be an option for the client to keep the connection open all the time and reopen it if/when it goes down. Currently, it is impossible to have "always on" IMAP IDLE support. Which then means that e-mail delivered to IMAP server will not be picked up by the phone for many minutes.
    5. Email, if configured, should start when the phone is rebooted. As of now, it doesn't, which means that even if one configures polling for e-mail and the phone is rebooted, the mail will not be picked up.
    My Nokia E72 is E72-2, software version 021.024.237.02.
    PS. Can someone smack Nokia Australia support people around the ears for replying with utter nonsense to customers' questions, please? It's annoying when real bugs get reported and people that have no idea what the problem is (let alone the solution) reply with garbage.

    Hi all what a  nice discussion on e 72 issues and I hope Nokia developers also work like users. 
    I have 5 e mail accounts configured g mail,yahoo,hotmail,ovi and my company account which is  gmail apps . Except for gmail nothing seems to work .
    First of all for email to be successful like BB push mail should work automatically . That is whenever one gets connected to net mails should down load as per parameters set . This is not happening .
    Secondly i still do not know why mails do not download on  manual mode also when you go to" send receive now "..I have noticed that mails do come into some of my  accounts when I am  connected to the net and simultaneously mail is being sent . I have tested this more than once in my office . Otherwise push mail does not work . This seems to be  a serious bug .This means push mail is a flop. Further there seems to be some peculiar issue with yahoo mail .This is an issue I have for a long time . I also feel after a while whole thing gets coorupted and perhas this is the reason why e mail system stops working .  
    Thirdly and most annoying thing are  the messages which keep pooping asking for password for different e mail account .Any one else having same issue ? 
    High nokia advises customers as to what they have done and what can be expected out of this system . If nokia mail system fails they will loose lot of ground to BB and apple and they can not survive selling only voice/message phones at exorbitant prices .  

  • Nokia E72 - Set up Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo accoun...

    I bought my E72 3 days ago and the first impression i got was disappointing.
    The first action you do when switching on E72 for the first time is to set up your email accounts.
    Remember, E72 is Nokia's top email phone!!!
    I chose hotmail. I enter my email account and then my password as requested.
    And the next screen i get is nothing but the previous one!!!
    The same happens with Yahoo accounts.
    I found a way to work around the crash and set up my account through the "other" tab available on the wizard.
    I am really disappointed that i have changed my beloved E71, to get an even more proffessional solution that in the end needs a total update to set up our emails.
    There must be a solution in the next software upgrade and must be installed for free in all Nokia's stores.
