Nokia N76's headset remote control ain't functioni...

The sound can be heard through the headphones but the problem is the headset's remote control ain't functioning at all. what is the problem and could anyone explain what are the functions of the 5 buttons located on the remote as there's no info on it? Does the headset function as a handsfree also? Thanks for replying..

the battery is the CR 2032 what you need to do is ...
remove the pin that goes through the clip at the back. then remove the plastic clip from the unit to revel a small star screw. remove the screw and then flick off the front of the unit. then remove the main board inside and take the battery out. put new batterry back in and put it back together.
NOTE: the pin is very hard to get in and out of the clip to start and need to be done with great care or you will end up causing damage to the plastic and cant put the clip back on.
i went to a few jewellery shops to see if they would do it for me but no luck which ment me doing it and now im having to have the control hanging rather then clipped onto my clothes.
hope this helps and good luck with getting it sorted.
i was also told taht if its under 12months (which the battery only last about 6 months) then you will be covered under the nokia guarantee, however they dont like to take responsabliaty for it!
how stupid to have a unit with a battery that customers cant get to to change when needed...looks like just another way to keep their money comming in to them!

  • Can I upgrade the software on an old 30GB Ipod so that I can use the functions on a Headset remote control

    I've purchased new headphones that has aremote control that operates with latest generation of IPods. Can I upgrade the software on my older IPod to allow the RC to work with it

    Additionally, it's not just a matter of software on the iPod.  To support the remote control signals on the headphones cord, the newest iPod have a different headphone jack.  The hardware is different, compared to your older iPod.

  • N80IE Problem with Nokia Remote Control Headset AD...

    Guys,do you have this AD-41 Remote Control Headphone,found in N73 Music Edition Phones,on your N80? My problem is that, I cant remotely play a song by simply pressing the PLAY Button on it... But before I bought this headset for my N80 I check first the Nokia web site, its says that it is COMPATIBLE... Is there something missing? Like, do I need to install a certain app so that it would work? Or, Its just like, I can't do it in N80?

    Hi, Ryan. Look, I have now an N73; but before I had an N80 and guess what: I had the same problem as you. I sent an e-mail to Nokia, and what did they say in the e-mail they sent back? "The compatibility between your device and your hands-free is PARTIAL, sir.". What the **bleep**?!!... Yes, it's not fully compatible. You don't need any software or setup in the phone... You (and I) need light the Nokia's offices on fire...

  • Nokia Bluetooth Remote Control

    Can someone suggest a Bluetooth remote control app that will work with a Nokia touch screen phone? I've tried Phone Remote Control with some success but its not fully touch screen compliant.
    Thank you in advance.

    Vectir - WiFi and Bluetooth Remote Control should do the job but since you didn't mention your phones model, i can't say for sure. You can check device compatibility on the Vectir Nokia Bluetooth Remote Control page.
    My friend uses this as a touch screen remote control on his 5800 Xpress music. I use in on my N95. Pretty slick app.

  • Remote control suddenly stopped working

    the remote control that came with my nokia 5700 XM just stopped working. in fact i haven't used it that much (something like a ten or 20 times for the 6 months i own it). the most interesting part is that i get sound with the earphones which are connected with the remote. i can't control the player but can still listen. the handsfree usage is also gone. i can hear the voice but can't speak to the mic of the remote. when i connect the remote to the phone i recognises it like the default headset. i did a factury reset of the system but it did't help. is it dead? i am waiting for suggestions. thanks.

    Some nokia made remotes have a small battery inside (the one that's supplied with the N95 does) and it may have run out.
    If you don't want to open the remote to check then you should take it to a nokia care point/service centre.

  • The remote controls stopped working

    I bought with an official Apple dealer the new i Pod Shuffle (generation 3) to use during my bike rides. After the first ride the remote controls stopped working and the voice over feature spontaneously started repeating the songs title. As well the volume control stopped working altogether. I didn't have time to return the Shuffle after only a week so I disable the voice over feature and keep on using my Shuffle with no volume adjustment, fast forward etc ….
    After a visit to the Apple website I saw that several owners complained about this problem and assumed Apple would know about it and be ready to offer a fast solution. So picked an official Service Center as close as possible from my location.
    First shock the Service Center was dirty, the paint obviously several decades old and faded, the light kept to the minimum.
    Second shock not Tech on duty to check something as simple as a headsets. I realized there was no way to have a fast resolution to my problem. The Shuffle will be send to a regional repair center, I could have save the trip and just go to an Apple dealer. What the use to have Service Centers if they don't provide service?
    Now when a product is returned, after 25 days of ownership (can't say use), a product designed by a company with the reputation of Apple you expect some kind of sign that the company is sorry, stands behind it's product and will do all possible to solve the problem. WRONG.
    Third shock. The person who took my Shuffle obviously never saw a Shuffle generation 3 before or even knew it existed. She explained over and over that I may (but it sounded more like I will) be charge for the repair. Even asked me to pay upfront a basic fee to cover the time of a Tech checking on the product. And that the Tech will give me a quote if I am to be charged. Furthermore She found tons of reasons why eventually I would be charged to repair the product, however no technical person ever checked on the product. Well I guess only users read messages on Apple website not employees of Apple.
    So what now? I am suppose to receive an E-mail in 24 hours to 5 working days, in which I'll be explained the result of the Tech investigation.
    I guess most owners of Apple products have a better experience with the Customer Service or where the reputation of Apple being a “cool” company comes from? But based on my experience it looks like Apple's products and Apple's Customer Service may not meet Apple's reputation or customer's expectations. Or am I asking for too much?

    I seriously doubt you were at an Apple Store and you were not dealing with Apple employees. You were dealing with a 3rd party shop that does work on Apple products.
    Don't know where you are located but you could contact Customer Service at Apple and complain but they are somewhat limited it dealing with a 3rd party company. But they will at least have you complaint on file. Or you could attempt to find an actual Apple Store and take your Shuffle there. Or you could try one of the workarounds listed on the threads here.

  • Bluetooth Remote Control Quit Working

    I have a new 8350i and downloaded the new 5.0.0.807 (?) version software. For some reason, after doing this, the ability of my Plantronics Voyager 815 headset to perform remote controls (answer, hang up, volume, etc) has quit working. Has anyone else had this happen to them? What can I do to correct this? Thanks in advance!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I thought I'd lost my mind with this phone.  I too updated my phone with the latest software and now I am having all kinds of bluetooth problems, I have the problem with the remote controls on my headset not working.  I have a problem where if I put the phone in the case while talking to someone it hangs up even though I have it set to NEVER do that.  The phone also is having major pairing issues with the two cars hands free radios I have, once the phone is paired to the radio, I can no longer listen to the car radio, I have to drive in silence, so I go back to the headset, which I cannot answer calls or hang up calls with.  I have pulled the battery, but that is only a temporary fix, it starts misbehaving within a day or two, tops.
    I used to love this phone, now I am nothing but frustrated with it.
    If anyone hears of a solution that works for more than a day, please post what you did.
    Thank You

    Hi 
    Since i've purchased my Lumia 1020 i'm looking to buy in-ear headset that has the capability to control volume / answer and hang up / microphone just like the apple headset.

    I tried to get an answer from Nokia through twitter and had no reply.
    All i want is a headset can do the features mentioned above for a reasonable price that would be great.
    if you have an answer to my problem can you reply with the brand - model number - price and website that would be great .

  • Lenovo AIO C440 - not working infrared remote control

    Hello,
    is there any hint how to get infrared remote control working for a new C440 model? Tomorrow I will try to measure and/or replace batteries which could be bad. For now it is totally not working.
    Another question: the remote should work only within AverMedia TV app or in the whole Windows 8?
    Regards,
    Zdenek

    hi bohdik,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    The IR Windows Media Center remote control is for use with C440 models with optional TV tuner. If you have this model,  make sure the TV Tuner driver and the ITE CIR Driver from the lenovo support site are installed under Device Manager (press Windows Key+R then type devmgmt.msc) then follow  the Set up a TV signal in Windows Media Center. guide.
    Note:
    You must have Windows 8 PRO to enable Windows Media Center
    See this articles in reference:

  • Remote Control and Remote View Problem

    Hi,
    I work at a High School running Netware 6.0 SP5 and Zen works 4.01 ir7.
    Remote Control and Remote View works great but I noticed one problem.
    We have a logo of the school that is forced down on to the desktop when a
    user logs in through group policies. This logo works perfect for the
    desktop wall paper and loads every time a user logs in.
    When I Remote Control or Remote View a computer the users desktop wall
    paper turns from the logo being forced down through group policies to the
    desktop to a blue desktop wall paper.
    I would prefer the desktop wall paper staying the schools logo when I
    Remote Control or Remote View because if the desktop wall paper changes to
    the blue color I mentioned above when I Remote Control or Remote View the
    users computer, they will know that someone is taking over their computer
    which sometimes we dont want them knowing.
    We have Windows 98SE computer running Novell Client 3.4 and we have some
    computers running Windows XP Professional SP1 and Windows XP Professional
    SP2 both running Novell Client 4.91 SP2.
    The Remote Control and Remote View problem of the desktop wall paper
    changing on the users computer occurs on all operating systems mentioned
    above.
    Is there a solution to my above problem? When Remote Controlling and
    Remote Viewing someone's computer I don't want the desktop wall paper to
    change.
    Thanks!

  • Remotely control the ITunes on Windows 7 64 bit PC with the new IPad

    With the latest version of ITunes for both Win7 and the new IPad, I'm only able to use the new IPad to remotely control the ITunes on Windows 7 64 bit PC through wired connection  ( ethernet cable ) to the wireless router. As soon as I connect my PC through wireless connection, the new IPad can not find my libraries.
    Is this a known issue or am I missing some settings?
