Nokia n73 volume hardware problem

Recently my n73 phone has fallen on the ground and after this the volume button for up has been broken. this means i can only lower the volume or zoom out or any other thing that i can do with these buttons. this is very problematic, cause the music volume is at 0% and theres no way i can increase the volume.
so my question is ..is there any possible way or software that lets me increase the volume for music/loudspeaker/zooming without using these buttons?

Nokia N73 - Software Update problem!

Hi all, I have an N73 from Orange Romania and i want to do software update, I have version V 3.0638.0.0.1 dated 10/30/2006. And when I connect to PC Suite or Ovi Suite, I say that there is no update available!
What I can do ?
Plz Help me !

I don't know if your phone supports Firmware over the air, but you can check here anyway: http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update
I've also no overview if there are any more recent update that you already have. But I guess you know there is a more recent one since youre asking...
If it is released a more recent fw for the n73 and you cannot download it:
It's likely because your phone is branded from Orange Romania and they haven't approved the most recent update yet.
So what you can do is call Orange romania and ask if or when they will release the most recent update.

Nokia N73 Firmware Upgrade Problems

I just upgraded my firmware. I backed up before. I've restored the backup, and now many of my applications are missing, and so are ALL of my contacts. I know these were backed up as I remember checking the log after the backup to make sure that they were, and it said they all were successfully.
One strange thing, in my call log, and in my messages, they still have their names? And also, these were not stored on the simcard, they were stored on the phone. I also have a memory card that I didn't backup, as it wasn't needed too.
If anyone can help, I still do have the backups. Even if they'res a program that can read the nokia backups, I can just manually save contacts.
Cheers
Kieron

hmmm...try to do the hard reset on the phone and maybe remove the memory card and do the restore again. you know what, to prevent this from happening again in the future, make sure to copy ur contacts in ur sim card...thats what i do...

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

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.

I have an iphone 4 n it is getting switched off automatically n switches on automatically , also it increases d volume by itself. Can anyone help me find out if its a hardware problem???

I have an iphone 4 n it is getting switched off automatically n switches on automatically , also it increases d volume by itself. Its a 1year old phone n the version is 4.3.2(8H7). Also the volume sign does not go off from the screen. Can anyone help me find out if its a hardware problem???

Do you have a case on your iPhone? It could be pressing the buttons on the iPhone and causing it to restart or behave unusually.
This Apple doc will help you find out if there is a hardware or software problem -> iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
You can always contact Apple and setup service through Express Lane.

IDEFRAG FAULT: There was a hardware problem accessing your volume

Idefrag stops defragging when arriving at the following block and gives this warning:
There was a hardware problem accessing your volume (e.g. bad block or loss of power) and Idefrag cannot continue. The File that Idefrag was working on was: /Previous/Library/Logs/DirectoryService/DirectoryService.server.log -
What can i do?
Now i cant finish defragmenting. Only the compact defrag level > cuz this scan level only restore the empty blocks. All the other levels it stops defragging.
Please help

iDefrag may well have damaged your system. No such third party utility is required, or even adviseable, on OS X which does such things by itself.
I would recommend a reinstall from your recovery partition.
Defragmentation in OS X:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1375 which states:
You probably won't need to optimize at all if you use Mac OS X. Here's why:
Hard disk capacity is generally much greater now than a few years ago. With more free space available, the file system doesn't need to fill up every "nook and cranny." Mac OS Extended formatting (HFS Plus) avoids reusing space from deleted files as much as possible, to avoid prematurely filling small areas of recently-freed space.
Mac OS X 10.2 and later includes delayed allocation for Mac OS X Extended-formatted volumes. This allows a number of small allocations to be combined into a single large allocation in one area of the disk.
Fragmentation was often caused by continually appending data to existing files, especially with resource forks. With faster hard drives and better caching, as well as the new application packaging format, many applications simply rewrite the entire file each time. Mac OS X 10.3 onwards can also automatically defragment such slow-growing files. This process is sometimes known as "Hot-File-Adaptive-Clustering."
Aggressive read-ahead and write-behind caching means that minor fragmentation has less effect on perceived system performance.
Whilst 'defragging' OS X is rarely necessary, Rod Hagen has produced this excellent analysis of the situation which is worth reading:
Most users, as long as they leave plenty of free space available , and don't work regularly in situations where very large files are written and rewritten, are unlikely to notice the effects of fragmentation on either their files or on the drives free space much.
As the drive fills the situations becomes progressively more significant, however.
Some people will tell you that "OSX defrags your files anyway". This is only partly true. It defrags files that are less than 20 MB in size. It doesn't defrag larger files and it doesn't defrag the free space on the drive. In fact the method it uses to defrag the smaller files actually increases the extent of free space fragmentation. Eventually, in fact, once the largest free space fragments are down to less than 20 MB (not uncommon on a drive that has , say only 10% free space left) it begins to give up trying to defrag altogether. Despite this, the system copes very well without defragging as long as you have plenty of room.
Again, this doesn't matter much when the drive is half empty or better, but it does when it gets fullish, and it does especially when it gets fullish if you are regularly dealing with large files , like video or serious audio stuff.
If you look through this discussion board you will see quite a few complaints from people who find that their drive gets "slow". Often you will see that say that "still have 10 or 20 gigs free" or the like. On modern large drives by this stage they are usually in fact down to the point where the internal defragmentation routines can no longer operate , where their drives are working like navvies to keep up with finding space for any larger files, together with room for "scratch files", virtual memory, directories etc etc etc. Such users are operating in a zone where they put a lot more stress on their drives as a result, often start complaining of increased "heat", etc etc. Most obviously, though, the computer slows down to a speed not much better than that of molasses. Eventually the directories and other related files may collapse altogether and they find themselves with a next to unrecoverable disk problems.
By this time, of course, defragging itself has already become just about impossible. The amount of work required to shift the data into contiguous blocks is immense, puts additional stress on the drive, takes forever, etc etc. The extent of fragmentation of free space at this stage can be simply staggering, and any large files you subsequently write are likely to be divided into many , many tens of thousands of fragments scattered across the drive. Not only this, but things like the "extents files", which record where all the bits are located, will begin to grow astronomically as a result, putting even more pressure on your already stressed drive, and increasing the risk of major failures.
Ultimately this adds up to a situation where you can identify maybe three "phases" of mac life when it comes to the need for defragmentation.
In the "first phase" (with your drive less than half full), it doesn't matter much at all - probably not enough to even make it worth doing.
In the "second phase" (between , say 50% free space and 20% free space remaining) it becomes progressively more useful, but , depending on the use you put your computer to you won't see much difference at the higher levels of free space unless you are serious video buff who needs to keep their drives operating as efficiently and fast as possible - chances are they will be using fast external drives over FW800 or eSata to compliment their internal HD anyway.
At the lower end though (when boot drives get down around the 20% mark on , say, a 250 or 500 Gig drive) I certainly begin to see an impact on performance and stability when working with large image files, mapping software, and the like, especially those which rely on the use of their own "scratch" files, and especially in situations where I am using multiple applications simultaneously, if I haven't defragmented the drive for a while. For me, defragmenting (I use iDefrag too - it is the only third party app I trust for this after seeing people with problems using TechToolPro and Drive Genius for such things) gives a substantial performance boost in this sort of situation and improves operational stability. I usually try to get in first these days and defrag more regularly (about once a month) when the drive is down to 30% free space or lower.
Between 20% and 10% free space is a bit of a "doubtful region". Most people will still be able to defrag successfully in this sort of area, though the time taken and the risks associated increase as the free space declines. My own advice to people in this sort of area is that they start choosing their new , bigger HD, because they obviously are going to need one very soon, and try to "clear the decks" so that they maintain that 20% free buffer until they do. Defragging regularly (perhaps even once a fortnight) will actually benefit them substantially during this "phase", but maybe doing so will lull them into a false sense of security and keep them from seriously recognising that they need to be moving to a bigger HD!
Once they are down to that last ten per cent of free space, though, they are treading on glass. Free space fragmentation at least will already be a serious issue on their computers but if they try to defrag with a utility without first making substantially more space available then they may find it runs into problems or is so slow that they give up half way through and do the damage themselves, especially if they are using one of the less "forgiving" utilities!
In this case I think the best way to proceed is to clone the internal drive to a larger external with SuperDuper, replace the internal drive with a larger one and then clone back to it. No-one down to the last ten percent of their drive really has enough room to move. Defragging it will certainly speed it up, and may even save them from major problems briefly, but we all know that before too long they are going to be in the same situation again. Better to deal with the matter properly and replace the drive with something more akin to their real needs once this point is reached. Heck, big HDs are as cheap as chips these days! It is mad to struggle on with sluggish performance, instability, and the possible risk of losing the lot, in such a situation.

* 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
