Nokia N73; Functionality Issues

Hi All,
Just wondering if some of you have experiences these issues;
1. when browsing the phone book and selecting a number to call, pressing the dial button does nothing, it doesn't initiate a call. Phone needs to be powered off and on for the issues to be fixed.
2. when initiating a call an a 'connection error' is recieved, the issue in point 1 occurs again. Again issues is fixed by powering off and on the device.
3. when an incoming call is answered the call is answered with the speaker on, pressing 'handset' does not change the call back to the internal speaker. Issue uis solved by powering off and on the device.
My phone has the latest F/W running V.30705.1.0.31
A colleague of mine has the same handset with an earlier revision and has the exact same issues as me.
any information is appreciated.
Regards
Mike.

As y have latest FW.
Try format phone memory by*#7370# [must backup the data by pc suit] and see if there is any change.
If nothin happens take it to NSC asap as the problems are related to the most important and basic feature.

  • 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!!
    Tiago

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

  • 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 ! Message sending failure in Nokia N73

    HI I am using nokia n73 for almost 2 years,
    From last one week i am unable to send messages, as soon as i send a message, in the outbox it changes to resend and when i resend it and after four times it moves to failed state.
    I have tried the sim in different mobile and messages are working fine, there are no issues with the n/w provider. I have formatted the memory card, phone and even then my problem still persists.
    Can anyone please help me .

    Though you have mentioned that you have formatted the phone.. did you restore the data back ? Why the question ..because if that is the case and if you have a very large no. of messages stored in the phone.. then delete as many as possible to see if that makes any difference..

  • Nokia N73 & PC Suite 6.82.22.0

    I recently purchased a Nokia N73 from 3 Australia, and installed PC Suite from the CD, and upgraded to PC Suite 6.82.22.0 During one of the installs my computer had a problem and seemed to hang the installation (it stalled for some five minutes before I stopped the install). I re-installed PC Suite and everything seemed fine, except that when I connected my N73 by cable, the 'new hardware' wizard appears to load in the 'Nokia USB modem'. It tries, and fails, to load this twice, and then the PC Suite software and the System Tray icon (little phone) both show the phone as not connected. However all PC Suite applications are available and working correctly. I have tried uninstalling PC Suite, rebooting, and re-installing PC suite with no better success, then reading other posts I used PC Suite Cleaner, and then reinstalled PC Suite. The very first connection was great, system tray icon changed to little green orb, and PC Suite then said connected. Sometime after that i must have rebooted the system (or at least disconnected the cable) and now PC Suite will not indicate the phone is connected although all PC Suite options (sync, backup, contacts etc) are available. What can I do to resolve this issue? I have WinXP Home with Service pack 2, PC Suite 6.82.22.0, and Nokia CA-53 cable. I normally used it through a USB hub, but even connecting it direct to the computer USB port makes no difference (the drivers are 'installed' and hardware is ready to use) Abes

    Check this:
    Open Control Panel > system > hardware > Device manager >
    when phone is connected -> can you find this:
    "Wireless Communication Devices
    1 Nokia N73 USB Generic
    2 Nokia N73 USB OBEX
    3 Nokia N73 USB OBEX
    4 Nokia N73 USB OBEX
    5 Nokia N73 USB Phone Parent
    Or is there "Unknown Device" only??
    And check also Modems and Ports -> can find your phone from there (and is there yellow marks)??
    If everything is OK in device manager, see my message from here (and try it):

  • Leopard's iSync & Nokia N73

    Hi,
    I used Leopard's (10.5.1) iSync flawlessly with my Nokia N73. But, when I upgraded N73's firmware to the 4.0735.3.0.2 version, iSync can't connect with N73.
    I've tried to delete and recreate the pair between my MacBook Pro and the Nokia and it can't finish linking, with an infinite "Desovering device's services".

    I upgraded my firmware on the N73 before seeing this thread & now have lost Bluetooth connectivity too. This is a big issue for me & found an interesting thread over on Nokia's forum: http://discussions.nokia.co.uk/discussions/board/message?board.id=connectivity&t hread.id=13559&view=bydateascending&page=1
    It seems like Nokia are aware of the problem but putting their fingers in their ears & risking the migration of a whole lot of Mac users...

    Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling the software? Not sure why it would have gone wrong but worth a go. Have you installed anything since?
    Is that an N95 in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?!?
    Life's too important to take seriously.

  • Nokia N73 is not giving correct size of the folder.

    Hi,
    I am using FileConnection API in my code and when i try to retrieve the size of the Folder then it gives me the wrong size. It gives me the size = 430KB but there are only 2 png images in that folder which are of size 10K and 19K.
    What i have done is :: I have created the folder and created multiple image through the application. And after sometime i have deleted some images from that folder through the application. And when next time when i was trying to get the size of that folder then it gives me the size = 430KB rather than the updated size.
    After that i viewed the details of that folder through FileSystem. At that it also shows me the same size = 430 KB. It restarted the phone and then viewed the size but it was same.
    I have deleted and created the file using create() and delete() of FileConnection API.
    For creation of file::
                     fileConn.create();
                      OutputStream os = fileConn.openOutputStream();
                      os.write(data, 0, data.length);
                      os.close();
    For Deletion::
                fileConn = (FileConnection) Connector.open(url);
                   fileConn.delete();
                   fileConn.close();There are no hidden files in that folder.
    Can anyone please tell me what will be the problem? Is this a phone issue or something i have missed?
    Thanx

  • 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.
    PS: There's no use posting more than once, under irrelevant threads. It'll only delay help

  • Few Questeions from New Nokia N73 M user

    Hi, 
    I have few questions as i just purchased a new Nokia N73 Music Edition.
    1. How do i lock my key pad. Earlier i had Nokia 6300 in which the key pad got locked automatically. I could unlock when i wanted to use the phone.
    2. How do i set up a image for a contact which will show full image (like in Nokia 6300) instead of thumbnail in N73
    3. I want to setup individual ring tones for each contact instead of same one for all. Could not find a way any where.
    4. What is the maximum size of a clip i can play. The other day i tried playing a movie of Real Player format of size 150 MB which did not play.
    5. How do i get the Icons of my choice on the screen instead of the ones given by Nokia
    6. How do i inclrease the performace of the Phone. This looks and works slower than my earlier nokia phones.
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards
    Ramgopal
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

     1. Left menu button then *, same to unlock
    2. You'll need a third party application for that - N73 defaults to a thumbnail
    3. Not sure you can ....
    4. That'll be an issue with realplayer - I've had full movies (Divx format) on the N73.
    5. Can't change the icons
    6. Update the firmware - if you're phone is on pre v4 firmware, then update it with NSU - type in *#0000# at the standby screen to check your firmware revision.

  • Nokia n73 network disappears after sending a few c...

    i am suffering from a unique problem on mine nokia n73 me
    when ever i send continuous messages through the phone the network disappears and i have to restart my handset
    it only happens when sending continuous messages it allows me to send a few messages without any problem
    i am receiving calls and able to make call no network problem is there
    what should i do....

    this probably is a case of a bug in ur device so what u can try are:
    U can go in for a hard reset which will turn ur device as it left the factory totally new and since u have no issue with the backup i think it wud probably do the trick
    '*' '3' 'Call Key' and Power button all pressed at the same time after u have removed ur phone battery for at least 5 mins.
    U can also update/reinstall ur firmware and see the result
    In case of ur memory card there are different options available to you to get rid of the corrupt/unwanted data in your card.
    menu--installations--application manager--remove the unwanted application....... in ur case internet tel
    menu--tools--memory---options---format memory card......
    remember everything including ur factory installed apps will be deleted......... but u can always download them later either from nokia or google them...
    or insert ur card in any reader or laptop and check for virus and also the hidden folders....... check for any virus
    the last option is to take it to ur care point and ask them to do the needful

  • Nokia N73 (not music edition) Ring tone mute mode

    Hi,
    I am having the Nokia N73 (not music edition) phone. If I receive any call when the music player is in the pause mode then I can see the vibrating alert only and not the ring tone. At that time my ring tone is going on mute mode. Is it a build-in functionality? Or it is a problem?
    Thanks,

    Try switching profiles. If you see it's set to Silent, turn it to General instead.

    are sure battery has enough power?
    if try hard reset your phone, turn off your phone then try this
    press and hold Green key (call) + Star (*) key + num 3 key, while pressing those keys turn on your phone. Release those three keys when phone shows "Nokia" logo.
    P.S. Hard reset will erase all data on your phone memory. Please backup your important data.
    DON'T BACKUP SETTINGS, SETTINGS MAY CONTAIN ERRORS.

  • Problems on Nokia n73

    Hi guys, i have watched the video about the rotateme 2.0 software on the nokia n95, and i was just wondering whether nokia n73 do have such plugins such as accelerometer or any other plug-ins that can be installed?

    Sorry, Zabitos. This is a piece of bad news to you as Nokia N73 does not have JSR-256 built-in the device. JSR-256 is an API in which define the generic sensor functionality, this would then lead to sensor application like Nokmote to be used on the device.
    Device: Nokia N73 Music Edition (11)
    Model: RM-133
    Software: Version 4.0736.3.2.1
