Nokia N 78,software problems ?

Hello,
I am new here and new in Nseries phones. I would like to ask something to everyone that has the nokia n78 model and plz answer me if u can! Does anyone has software issues with the specific model ? I have it for like 2 months and I have seen some pretty frustrating problems that I hope they will get fixed with the newest updates... Plz tell me if u have any and I ll make a post with all the problems that I have in my phone.
Thnx in advance

First of all the problems that I will mention above have been seen in two nokia n 78 (manufactured for Greece,made in Finland) and both of them has the latest update version.
1.I set a password for the phone (to 1min par example)I let it lock once and after is is locked, I unlock it and use it for any application of just get to the menu, the light turns off at 5 secs whatever I am doing. The light it is set to turn off at 30secs and 1min at power save.
2.The left key of choice (above the green key of answer) sometimes it is just does nothing,it is ingoring me when I press it in any application. Once I managed to make it work (after some time it "wakes up") and change application or menu it works fine. There was once at the alarm clock that I was pressing the key for 1 minute minimum in order to stop it!
3.Sometimes when I have the radio or music application open and I also use the web browsing application the phone stucks, doing nothing and the only way to unstuck it, is to remove the battery,put it back in and open the phone...oh yes I cannot turn it off so simple cause it does not work.
4.Sometime the light turns off just like that,even if I am using and browsing the phone. Sometimes it is just the light of the screen, others the light of the keyboard and just yesterday the whole's phone for some seconds!
5.It is also has quite weak gps tranceiver. I stand in an open external space and wait for the satelites to lock my position and sometimes it says "the gps does not work well in internal places" and general it takes some time to lock my position. Sometimes though it locks me inside the car faster when I am standing somewhere outside ... what can I say !
6.Another important issue and it is the last (finally !) is when I turn off a wifi connection I lose the signal of the phone...totally ! Usually it takes one or 2 mins to get the signal back, but yesteraday I turned off the phone and on again and nothing happened. Then I tried to locate the network and It could not find any. Finally I change the operation to in GSM only instead of GSM and UTM together and worked. But is not suppose to work in GSM and UTM together aswell ??
Plz help me out here.
P.S. It is not hardware problems for sure!

  • NOkia E63 All Software Problems listed, Ignored by...

    here are NOkia E63 All Software Problems listed.
    -- Picture Editor:
    You can Zoom, Rotate a Picture but E63 never allows to Save the edited Picture, Worst SOftware Engeering.
    -- No Calendar Sync with Address Book Events
    Add a Birday/Annivesary event along to a contact, you will never see the event entered to Calendar/neither gets a remainder alarm on that occassion.
    Very Sad to say Nokia has very less knowledged engineers who are not even capable of giving a software which Rs 500 mobile gives with colors.
    -- Memory Card COrrupted and needs a restart of MObile to recongise the Mem Card
    3 to 4 times a day and every time when you switch off and switch on You need to re-insert the memory card(which is supplied along with MObile by Nokia)
    -- Picture Viewer
    Awesome, you cannot open pics with folder wise,
    Open a Pic from folder, delete the that pic, you will be routed back to Home screen instead of folder.
    What a Testing Engineered SOftware.
    and after encryting memopry card, and after decrypting i am not able to see pics on pic viewers.
    but can access to files directly going to Mem card folders.
    ENcrypt and decrypt are juts for name sake, not for functioning and serving the need.
    -- Contacts
    Enter one or two char in search, Say
    Ma
    it lists out
    Mahesh
    Manikanth
    Martin
    Mariya
    though i see the contact Mariya, i cannot scroll down to select that Mariya Contact
    i should have to enter full name.
    then why we need Search option, lets go scrolling down from begining.
    -- Message Inbox
    Wow, Interesting Area,
    1. Just Say i received a message from Number 123456789, now go and save 123456789 as Balaji in Contact.
    Now get back to your Inbox, Surprise, you never see 123456789 updated with COntact Name Balaji, it will stay as 123456789 only, even give a try of Swithc off and Switch on 100 times, its same.
    its new nokia software getting back to 1950s.
    2. Now, one more test:
       You have already saved a friend number 12345 as Balaji in contacts.
       you get a SMS from 12345, well the inbox now promptly shows message from Balaji, now go back to Contacts, and change the number 12345 to any number,
       so now Contact Balaji's number is changed but you will never see this reflected in inbox.
       you will be still shown as message from Balaji, though that number is not at all saved.
    One more roboustness testing:
    You delete the contact Balaji, still you see in Inbox SMS from Balaji.
    -- Wi-Fi.
    Even with dedicated Wirelss internet connection, E63 just detects the connection but when started browsing, i just get5 this.
    "No Gateway Reply !"
    you give a try for 1000 times you wont get internet brrowsing in E63,
    i get heavy headache if i start thinking why i paid RS12000/- for Junk.
    if i meet any of NOkia people at my office i will kick to them for sure.
    Nokia should be Sued.
    if i keep on digging the non-sense behavior of Nokia E63 i dont know, instead i can write a pretty good software.
    Dear Nokia,
    I need all this and every software problems to be fixed, else i will go to COnsumer COurt,
    this is cheating All indian Customers, Taking RS 12000/- and not even providing a sofwtare which a RS 1000/- gives.
    And if i wont get all this erros fixed by 15days, i will publish all this info at all leading weblinks, and will ask none to go for Nokia,
    because Nokia has forgotten what is SOftware.
    Regards,
    Balaji M
    EVen after Several Mails to [email protected] i got mail as "All the mobile phones do not support all the features. Further, we endeavour to address any concern or suggestions that may be raised by our customers. We thank you for your valuable feedback and have forwarded the same to the relevant department for their due consideration."
    i really dont understand why Nokia Customer Care perdonals are always so dump like Nokia SOftware Engineers, i am asking for existing features not working properly but they comment saying "All the mobile phones do not support all the features"
    Again they say, if any questions ask at Nokia !!
    I am listing out the problems that your very high end Mobile Costing Rs. 12000/- INR which is failing to give even Rs 1000/- worth mobile.
    This is all the questions I have, again why should I have to go and ask the same at Ask Nokia" at  www.nokia.co.in/asknokia ?
    once listed problems are answered again and again just for formalities they are asking ask question.
    I want the Board or Directors and Senior responsible personals to attend to this, and get me bug free mobile for what i have paid RS12000/- else return our money, else i will soon file a Cheating case of not providing a said fetaures working phone by Nokia at COnsumer COurt, India.
    Iam not the one facing this, just visit mouthshut.com, you will see people crying with erros on NOkia even after paying RS 30,000/- who's money is all this ?
    I am awaiting for the response with bug fix by 24 hours.
    and also i need my money back by 1 week.

    Nokia E63 has a name sake encryption and decryption. Once you encrypt and decrypt it is difficult to find any of your old saved files. Paradox is that the memory status will show a huge quantity of used space. But GOD only knows where the files are. Nokia support centres have no answer for this problem. I lost a large chunk of my pics n files. Shame of Nokia.  

  • Nokia N97 - navigation softwares problem

    Hello all,
    I have a little problem in my Nokia N97.
    I installed on it some navigation softwares such as sygic.
    In the music library of the player of the device I see all the voices files from the navigation softwares like turn left and all the files of the voice guidance.
    Also in the pictures in the downloads category there are icons from the navigation softwares.
    What I can do to hide all the files that they are not music files in the library of the player of the phone or the icons from the pictures viewer?
    Thank you in advance for your help

    There is no way to hide those files in the player?

    Nokia N8 USB Driver Problem.jpg ‏138 KB

    I am having the exact same issue.
    The Ovi store was installed first via the N8 built in software, then uninstalled and reinstalled using the latest Ovi version from Nokia's webinstaller download, but still no success with the Ovi connection.
    The other file transfer modes work fine 'media transfer & 'mass storage'  but the Ovi store is still unable to run due to Windows VISTA not being able to locate the drivers for the N8 software. (despite being installed!)
    After accepting the prompt for Windows to locate the drivers... The same error as RayMond_021 screen shot appears.
    "COMPUTER SAYS.... NO!"
    Super frustrating! A brand new $800 phone and I can't even access the promised software (Ovi maps) that encouraged me to buy it!?
    PLEASE HELP US!!!!!

  • Nokia 5220 WHITE SCREEN PROBLEM *HELP*

    I tried to connect it to my PC (via data cable) but the phone does not get connected with the PC suite !!  PLZ HELP ME  !!

    Hi ahmadace360,  
    Have you performed any sort of software update before this happened? There are two possible things:
    1) Software problem - either by corrupt firmware or failed update.
    2) Hardware problem
    Fixing any of these would require you to send the phone to the Nokia Care Center.

  • Nokia X2-00 big problem with MMS receive

    I have 2 nokia X2-00 and is a very good phone but mms is a big big big problem. So. If I want to send mms from X2 to other phone all is good and the image can be view very good on other phone. BUT. If I receive MMS on my X2, the image is very poor, very small, 101*75 resolution , 2,3kb. There are no option to modify the resolution of photo receive by mms. I done some tests with both nokia X2 and there is the same problem. Both phone can send mms with picture that can be see very easy and clear on other phone but can not receive mms with clear picture  - all picture receive are very small. I think is a software problem. Is there an update for this problem? Practically I can not clear see picture by mms...they are too small to view, and can not be used for enything - not wallpaper, not album nothing. Thanks
    PS - version 4.90 of the phone software does not resolve this problem

  • 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

    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!!

  • N73 software problems

    does the new version of the firmware for the n73 resolve the hang ups/freezing of the phone during normal use? how about the camera problems?
    I thinking between the n73 and k800i though the n73 looks like a much better phone when it comes to features its software i heard is **bleep** and very unreliable. I would prefer to get an n73 if all the software problems are solved if not I will go with the k800i.
    Please help!
    Thanks!

Maybe its just something that has gone slightly wrong with the brand new firmware, as i say everything else seems to be working fine (Except the pdf reader )
    Try to choose "local time" instead of "London gmt" if you have set "auto update the time". All operators may not support "auto update the time" and in that case you have to set up the time yourself.
    If the Adobe pdf reader is still not working you can download and reinstall it from Adobe's web site (operating system Mobile, Version symbian OS, and select language...).

  • Nokia 112 all software erased

    My mobile nokia 112. That Problem is my phone all software erase so how do i downlod repeat
    Moderator's note: We provided a topic-related subject to the post as it was moved to the appropriate board.  

    Hi Salaman
    Thank you for posting and welcome to the forum! 
    Sorry to hear about what happened to your Nokia 112. Did something happen to the phone before you had the issue? Did you accidentally reset it? For the deleted applications, are you referring to preloaded apps or to the download ones?
    If you're referring to downloaded apps, you may redownload them from the Nokia Store app. Just launch it, go to My stuff, and then select Download History to redownload the apps that you previously installed on the phone.
    If you're referring to preloaded apps, you may try updating the phone's software. To do that, just go to Menu, and then select Settings. Choose Phone, and then look for Device Software Updates. Hit Check for software update and install the available update. Note that the availability of software updates depends on the region and network approval. A stable internet connection is required, and make sure that the battery is fully charged before updating the phone. 
    If there's no update available, you may also visit a Nokia Care Point to have the phone's software reflashed. Check this link for the Nokia Global support wayfinder: Nokia Global.
    Let us know if this information has helped you.

  • Nokia Ovi Suite software upgrade fails

    I have a Nokia 5230 but my problem is yesterday when I tried to connect my laptop to the internet through my phone using Nokia's Ovi Suite. A message DEMANDED that I first upgrade my Ovi Suite software, which obviously I could not do as I could then not connect to the internet. When I got connected through an ADSL line, the upgrade is continually unsuccesful. Message reads I may not be on the internet - clearly false - and then check my firewall settings. I have turned my firewall OFF and I get the same message. Any advice?

    Hunchback: frankly it's a little more than an annoyance, it's an audacity! I started up Ovi suite to quickly download some photos I urgently needed for a presentation to find that Nokia had hacked into my computer and made software I installed and depended on unusable. I'm not sure what the legal situation is but it is certainly very bad business practice to force an update on your customers. The update has been running for 20 minutes on my PC now and is obviously hanging. I will set up my firewall to prevent any further communication between my PC and Nokia's websites as I can not have you alter software on my PC unauthorized. Frankly I'm shocked that you have that kind of access to my machine.

  • Nokia's PC software doesn't work!

    I'm having some serious issues with Nokia's PC connectivity software.
    PC Suite first of all - for the most part is fine, but what I want the most - the Nokia Software Updater - won't work.  I get one of two messages:-
    'Configuration Error' - I've tried everything I've seen suggested on this and other sites, to no avail.  Or I get a message saying one or more software components has stopped responding and I need to reboot my PC - I try this and still get one of these error messages.
    So, I've uninstalled PC Suite, and used the PC Suite Cleanup tool to remove everything, I rebooted my PC and installed Ovi Suite.  And what a load of trash that is.
    Again, it's one of two error messages I get.  I either get a very non-specific 'internal error' message , or I get the Windows 'Nokia Ovi Suite 2 has stopped working.......' message.
     This sucks, big time.  All I want to do is update my E71's firmware!
    This better improve pretty damned quick, as I've just commited myself to another 18 months with another Nokia handset (against my better judgement) and my X6 arrives tomorrow.

    Thanks for the replies people, but it's all a moot point now as the X6 I upgraded onto with my network provider decided to die on me after less than two days.
    As a result, I've ditched the X6 and am getting a phone of a different make and model altogether, thanks in part to the understanding of 3 UK - there was no way I was taking a chance on another X6 when the first one died after such a short space of time.
    I would say that I uninstalled PC Suite and used the cleanup utility before reinstalling Ovi Suite, and still found that it didn't work.
    I may bear this all in mind as I still have my E71 in good working condition, but I fully intend for my new phone to be my primary handset with the E71 as a backup in case of any problems.  I do have to say though that my experiences with Nokia's PC software has made me very frustrated, and the issue with the X6 has made matters worse.  I don't think I'll get another Nokia handset in future, unless serious changes are made.
    PC software which just works would be a good start.  I wouldn't like to say how long I've spent trying to get it to work as it should, but it is a stupidly long time.  I've never had this issue with the software supplied by Sony Ericsson or LG.  Secondly, Symbian either needs to be improved or ditched - it's slow and buggy, and being left behind by much newer OS's, such as Android.
