Nokia N73 Camera Reset

When I click a photo sometimes the camera resets.. and the camera reloads.. sometimes it happens after a photo have been clicked..
It bugs me a lot, I generally click photo's of black and white mode but when I clikc the photo camera resets.. and it comes to normal mode
by resetting i mean it closes and again re-opens..

  • N73 Camera dissapointing, purple/pink bleaching

    Hi folks, just spent a lot of money on a N73, when taking a picture on the main camera, once auto focus has fixed an image of a pale pink / purple appears which is way off the mark interms of true colour andquality. However all apeears ok as the captured image is then displayed. But upon uploading to my computer the image is again pink/purple in coloue especially on the white subject. I have tried 2 N73's and they are noth the same.
    My ols N70 2m camera produced far superior pics than this.
    Any one else experienced this and is there an firmware software upgrade available? as it stands the camera isn't worth using asnd wish i'd bought a sony erricson

    You would think most of the reviewers are color-blind based on their enthusiastic write-ups on the Nokia N73 camera.
    Besides the issue of compression, the camera's auto-white balance function also seems to be poor. If you want better looking images, manually select white balance - you'll find that even your outdoor shots will come out a little bit better - or try fixing white balance on your existing photos and you'll see remarkable improvement.
    Unfortunately, it does not seem to be possible to have the camera set by default to a particular white-balance mode - every time you restart it is back to 'Auto' and the disappointing colors (black is nearly always off).
    But the most frustrating thing of all (I'm actually willing to pardon the suboptimal colors) is the shutter lag. The bottom line is that either the processor or the S60 operating system is not up to the task of taking a standard snap-shot. The shutter lag on the camera (even if you choose images with less pixels) is huge. To see why it's probably a software/hardware issue, just look at how slow the phone is at opening most Java applications or even loading up the screen for a new SMS after you press a short-cut button.
    There really are many excellent features on the N73, but as far as the camera is concerned, Nokia has over-promised and under-delivered.

  • Problems with Camera on Nokia n73 music edition

    I have a nokia n73 music edition and this is the issue
    When I slide down bac cover to open camera sometimes the I don't get image from back camera at all but only from front.
    Another this is that today I opened the camera and with the shouter I couldn't take pictures.
    I pressed it but nothing occured.
    I tried to update the software but no luck because it says that phone has newer software.
    I also when I go to the Camera through the main menu then it shows the video of front camera

    Format your memory card and try again. Remember to backup all your stuff in the memory card before formatting.
    If you still have problems, then try these options one by one:
    1. Turn off your phone and leave your battery out for 5-10min. Then, put them back in and turn on the phone.
    2. Restore factory settings: type *#7780# at the standby screen. Enter 12345 for the security code or the one you've changed it to.
    Before you try the next two steps, backup your phone memory using PC Suite.
    3. Soft reset: type *#7370#. Enter the security code when prompted
    4. Hard reset (Last resort, nothing else works): Turn off your phone, press and hold down these keys: 3, * and the call (Green) button. Turn on your phone without releasing them. Leave the keys only after you see the Nokia logo on the screen.
    If none of these work, then take it to the nearest Nokia Care Point.

  • Connect a Nokia N73 to a PC in the year 2013?

    Hi!
    I have a Nokia N73 on my desk which keeps rebooting at random intervals. This used to be my phone but I gave it away to my brother. He has been using it for about a year without any problems. He did drop it once on the pavemen and the plastic screen protector got a crack. But the screen itself was not broken and it still worked. This was a long time ago. So I don't think it's anyhow related. But I'm letting you know anyway. It was only lately that it started rebooting itself, as if it has a mind of its own.
    Now, given that I am the previous owner of this phone I know its history. I know that the "power on power off" issue has been plaguing N73 users as early as 2007/2008, when this was only a 1 year old model. So this is not a new issue. But I have never experienced this issue with mine. I guess it was just a matter of time, a ticking bomb if you will, before the error manifests. Now I know what that looks like.
    So I'm thinking this is most probably a software/firmware issue. So I want to try to reset this thing and watch what happens, which brings me to the main problem here. Since this is an old model it's hard to do anything with this thing due to Nokias continued lack of support for old models.
    I installed Nokia Suite 3.8.48 on Windows 8.1. I then connected the phone with a USB cable. I chose "PC Suite" option on the phone. Then I got this stupid error.
    USB device not recognized
    So I thought that it was missing some drivers and that the Nokia Suite did not install it for me, for whatever the reason. So I googled it and found the Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver (7.1.182.0). I disconnected the phone, installed the driver, connected the phone again, and still the same error came up. I tried repairing the driver installation and it did not help.
    So what do I do now? Can I expect any help from Nokia with this issue? I am not asking for much. All I ask for is some bits of software so I can help myself. The least Nokia can do in my opinion is to host their previous software releases on their website. Yes, I mean the old PC Suite, Ovi Suite, Nokia Suite, etc. I don't ask them to continue supporting it and updating it if it's discontinued or deprecated software. And of course, since it's closed source it's impossible for other folks to continue the development. But the least they can do is host previous releases. I much rather download an EXE from Nokia than from some funny place like Banana Island or whatever...
    And what about those software updates? When you google "nokia software update" the first thing you find is the main page for the various flavors of Nokia software suites where you click on the type of device you have (Symbian, Windows, et. al.) and it takes you to the download link for the EXE for Nokia Suite (in case of Symbian). But there are never any download links for the actual phone firmware/software/OS upgrades. The software suite grabs the appropriate file or files and installs it automatically. But what if you need to do this sh** manually? Or what if you want to keep a deposit of previously released phone software/firmware? Obviously Nokia won't host old phone software indefinitely.
    And it's not like they do their best to make the new "PC SUITE, aka. OVI SUITE, aka NOKIA SUITE, aka "SOMETHING" SUITE, fully compatible with old phone models. So users with old Nokia products would have to use some of the old software tools, tools that Nokai no longer supports, nor hosts or links to.
    What if you want to downgrade from a current version to a previous version? I'm not sure the automatic software update even still works on these old handsets (e.g. Nokia N73, et. al.) and what do you do in that case? What if you just need to reflash the phone with the same firmware that's already onboard? The answer is: you won't be able to! The software suite will only check for new versions, and if no new versions are found (obviously, since it's an old product for which there is no more development) it won't present any firmware/software at all to be flashed to the phone. Great!... just f****** brilliant! Or not...
    The main reason why I need the Nokia Suite is obviously because I don't want to loose any data. I would have used it to create a full backup of the phone. So much for plan A, and I don't have a plan B. This totally sucks...
    So what's with the "Nokia Suite" anyway? What happened to the "Ovi Suite"? Last time I held a Nokia phone in my hands it was called Ovi Suite and it had replaced the "PC Suite". I'm guessing you guys are having trouble deciding on how to name your software?... The Nokia Suite looks a lot like the Ovi Suite to me...
    Can this thing do a full blown backup of the phone? The Nokia Suite? If not, I wont' waste my time with it. It doesn't allow me to click anywhere. I can't click on the View, Sync or Tools menus. So I can't explore its functionality. Not until I manage to connect a phone to it. This sucks... it reminds me of why I moved away from Nokia in the first place.
    Solved!

    Nokia Suite 3.8.48 is not compatible with Windows 8.1
    I installed Nokia Suite 3.8.48 on my old Windows Vista PC and it worked! So I conclude that the damn thing is not compatible with the latest re-incarnation of the Windows 8 system, namely 8.1. For whatever the reason it just didn't like my Windows 8.1 computer very much. It's clearly a compatibility issue on some level. It's a brand new computer by the way, it's a desktop PC, custom built, with a clean genuine install of WIndows 8.1. I installed it myself from the retail box (full version). No issues with it whatsoever, no software issues, BSOD issues... nothing... up until now. Installing the Nokia Suite software from the same installer file worked very well on my old Windows Vista computer. No need to install any additional drivers! It just worked! All device drivers installed properly when I connected the phone. And Microsoft wants to discontinue Vista in favor of Windows 8.1... I hate those muppets.
    I know I've read that Nokia Suite 3.8.48 is Windows 8 compatible, I think I read it in the FAQ, but there were no specifics about whether that means 8.0 only or 8.0 AND 8.1. So it's a guesswork! And my guess is that it's compatible with Windows 8.0 but not with Windows 8.1. Even though I know that the changes between them are slim, if any. But don't blame me for that, blame Microsoft! I'm sure Microsoft wishes that Windows 8.0 never had happened! Just like they are wishing that Windows Vista never had happened! It shows, by their decision to drop Windows Vista support on most recent Microsoft software products. Windows 7 will follow the same fate. I'm sure they just wish they could pull the switch on every previous OS version, starting from XP, through Vista, 7 and Windows 8, and make everyone upgrade to the retarded Windows 8.1.
    The worst thing is... Nokia has partnered with Microsoft... what good can possibly come out of that?... There's a rumor that Nokia is working on an Android phone, known as Normandy project, or AoL (Asha on Linux). Yeah right! That will probably happen in... oh well... maybe in 100 years or so. You're way too late to the Android party. Nokia shot itself in the head when they decided to push forward with the Symbian OS and later the MeeGo. Then they started flirting with Microsoft.
    I would hate to work at a company that has no clear vision of the future and no strong leadership. I pity you Nokia. What happened to you?... you used to be cool. I guess it's what happens to every company that refuses to adapt to changes and doesn't do it quick enough. You either swim or you sink. Nokia decided to sink. Not only did they sink, they sunk to Microsofts level of incompetence... I guess in a way... you guys deserve each other.

  • * Help Needed! Nokia N73 Problem *

    Iv owned my Nokia N73 for about a year now and have never had any problems with it untill this day I was listening to a bit of music on the way back from a family holiday through my Nokia Headset which came with the phone and when i got home i unplugged the headset from the phone and it still remained in like the headset mode =S Its as if the phone thinks i still have the headset plugged into the phone even though its unplugged... Because the phone thinks the headset is still plugged into it there is no sound coming through the loudspeakers on the phone =S I just want to know if i can sort this problem out because i can't hear when i have a text, theres no ringtone sound when someone phones me and my m8's say they can not hear me speak when i answer... The headset symbol on my phone stays on even though it is unpluged which makes the phone thinks the headset is still plugged in =S
    If anyone can help me plz comment =] If anyone knows something that i can do to fix this can you also plz add onto the comment. Cheers
    .... L3W1SB .... (Nokia N73 - V 3.0638.0.0.1 Firmware)

    i had this happen to me. i connected headset back on and managed to turn it off. but it kept happening. moisture also does this as my toddler gets hold of it and puts that end in her mouth as she feels the charge from it. i got a cotton bud and really cleanded it especially the deeper holed parts iykwim. it did the trick and had no problems since and n73 is well over a year old and still going strong and never had to reset or upgrade software.

  • Nokia N73 Keypad malfunction

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with my Nokia N73.
    Recently I turned off the phone and when I turned it on again my keyboard wasn't working any more. It only showed the time/date settings (which I couldn't set because of keyboard malfunction). After some time, or some calls received - one part of the keyboard started working - all of it except little joystick) and I still couldn't navigate through menu. Whenever I switch off the phone it goes back to full non-working phase for some time.
    I can't hard reset it because "green", * and 3 are not working when I switch off the phone, and reseting the phone throug USB is also not working because I can't set my phone to offline mode because I can't use the joystick.
    Anyone has an answer?

    Have you tried leaving your battery out for a while, before you tried the hard reset?
    And, also, it's a good idea to remove the memory card and then try powering on . Now if the keypad works properly, backup using PC Suite and reinstall the firmware.
    I don't understand why you want to go to Offline mode to reset the phone, if you meant reinstalling the firmware, you will have to put it any non-offline profile. However, for your info, you can go to Offline mode if the Power button works: press briefly to bring up the profile menu, and then press the button as many times as required to go to the Offline option located further down in the profile listing

  • Offline mode problem nokia N73

    Hello, I have a problem with my Nokia N73, after having passed in Offline mode, it is impossible to change it. I carried out a hard reset by *#7370#, the phone posts general mode, but when i wants to connect to the network it posts phone in Offilne mode. I have try an firmware update using PC suite, but thephone must be in general mode before this operation can be carried out. what can i proceed. right now it is impossible to use my phone.

    I am now on my 7th N73!
    Yes, I am probably mad still giving this phone a go, but I Like the phone, so I keep giving it another go! (plus the fact that I cant find any other phone on the market right now that I really like)
    My network operator has been great, and has always replaced it for me every time I have had problems, but I must say it is now getting a bit too much.
    The last one I had, I got 2 weeks ago, and was a brand new one with the latest s/w update.
    First time I put it into OFFLINE mode, it refused to change back to normal. (this was a new problem I did not have with the first 5 handsets so I have a feeling its a problem with the latest s/w)
    a week ago I had it replaced once again with a brand new one.
    Went away, and put it into OFFLINE mode again while on the plane, and guess what? it refused to change again.
    Nothing helps; I have tried taking the battery out, taking the sim card in and out, nothing!!!!
    Now they want to give me an N93, but it seems way to large to me, plus it probably has the same problem, using the same operation system.
    How the hell could they release a phone with so many problems?Message Edited by robf on 23-Dec-2006

  • N73 - camera problem

    i have a problem with my n73 camera. when i open camera cover,and camera starts,at once it show "system error" message and it quit's operation. i had that problem three times now,this is third. last two times i did *#7370# reset code and camera worked fine for a while, but the problem comes back. i don't want to reset my phone over and over again,can you help me fix that? thanks in advance

    If it works after a reset but stops again soon after, I suspect it may be due to an application you may be reinstalling on your phone after the reset. The challenge would be to figure out which application it may be.  The good news is it is not hardware related as a hardware issue cannot be resolved with a reset.

  • Nokia N73 ME issue - wrong behaviour

    Hi!
    I have a Nokia N73 Music Edition and I was a satisfied user but now I'm having problems with it.
    After a while using the phone (i haven't been able to identify the exact reason) some keys loose their functionality and start doing other things, for example:
     - the key "2", when pressed, is like pressing the key "7";
     - pressing "left" on the joystick is like pressing the media player key.
    This issue was temporarily solved by three operations:
     a. shuting down the phone, removing the battery and waiting a few minutes.
     b. hard reseting the phone.
     c. updating the phone software (via Nokia PC Suite).
    None of those three solutions solves the problem completely as it returns after a few usage (half-day or 1 day). Besides, none of the solutions is practical enough to be done frequently.
    So, i was wondering, can anyone help me out?
    Thank you in advance!!

    The Backup whitout settings checkd messed up the phones messaging alert.. this is f*cking annoying...

  • Nokia N73 won't pair to my Renault Carkit

    Hello,
    I received my new Renault Scenic today. It came with a Renault Carminat DVD Navigation system, bluetooth carkit and mp3 6cd changer.
    When I tried connecting my phone to the carkit the pairing went succesfull, but after that it stopped.
    I see that the carkit tries to make a connection, but instantly disconnects again.
    I have 2 Nokia N73s but neither work.
    How can I fix this?
    Regards,
    Bas Steelooper

    Try a number of things.
    Firmware for the N73 up to date?
    Try the Nokia Contacts Downloader (loads of posts on this)
    Delete all the pairings on both devices & restart the carkit.
    On and one out-there suggestion: occasionally non-alphabetic characters in the Bluetooth device name can upset multilingual carkits. Try something simple without spaces.
    Good luck.
    Oh and try Remote SIM mode on in the N73. I know it "shouldn't" make a difference.....
    If no-one died or got sued, it's an OK day
