Nokia N78 - Power Saver Timeout reverts to default

I received the nokia N78 from vodafone on Saturday and set it up for the power saver to kick in after 30 seconds (from the sliding option scale of 1-90 seconds. I found that after the first couple of times of this functioning as requested it reverts back to a default of 5 seconds before going into power save. The requested 30 seconds remains in the settings but still the default overrides. I tried resetting this a number of times with identical results. I received a replacement handset today and attempted similar setups of this feature with the same identical results....It becomes very frustrating when your mid text or searching the gallery and the screen goes blank despite specific settings requested....Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know how I can fix this???

N78 Firmware 12.046.051.1
NOKIA N78 GREAT BUT 3 BUGS (SO FAR)
Bug 1: On my N78 if I enable the "phone autolock period" to anything, the lights go off at 5 seconds and if I do factory defaults and do not use "phone autolock", the lights stay on as long as I set it to. Quite frustrating as I like my phone to "autolock always" if unattended or lost.
Workaround:
1) Factory defaults your Mobile and just don't use 'phone autolock'.
OR
2) A restart corrects everything temporarily, but after several timeouts, it returns to the 5 seconds setting.
Yes, it is really an annoying bug Nokia.
Bug 2: Weekly alarm; if I set a new weekly alarm for any future day and on saving it the day sets to today every time. This is just annoying.
Bug 3: With N78 ' in KEY-PAD autolocked mode', the alarm goes off when you press 'stop' for longer than a second, and surprise the message reader activates like postmaster.
Wakeup Nokia this firmware has been out for a while now and its time to come up with new firmware without bugggggggggssssssss....
Hope Nokia will come out with new bug free firmware for N78.

Nokia E71 power saver (NONE)

Hi! Can anyone answer me if it is really normal in E71 that when you chose the power saver NONE, when the screensaver clock appears, it doesn;t move and update the time unless you press and hold the d-pad that shows the big clock.. unlike when you chose the power saver NOW PLAYING, it does move up and down, and the time is being updated.

As you said, the blank screen is definitely the most energy efficient.
If the "off" setting blanks the display then I think they meant to say "Screen off" but lost the "screen" somewhere in the translation.
You should also have another setting called either "Power saver timeout" or "Lightout time".

Nokia 5300 - Power Saver Problems

Hi!
I have a 5300 and sometimes my Power Saver mode does not work.
I'm sorry but I coudn't figure out the problem reprodution steps yet. All I can tell is that from a certain point beyond the power saver does not appear although it is activated. One way to correct this is to turn the phone off then on.
Is Nokia aware of this problem?
I found a similar post about another model, the suggested explanation resided on the operator's firmware, but in 5300's case the firmware is Nokia original...
Thank's.

I also tried formatting my memory card... that did not worrk either

Nokia E63 Power Saver Animation Files

HI,
I would like to know where can I get Powersaver animation files for my Nokia E63 screensaver apart from the 2 I have got for default, or if there is any kind of software that allows me to create those kind of files.
Thanks.

A quick stab of the power button usually turns the backlight on for most Nokias.

N96 V30.033 Power Saver Problems

Hi there,
I've just recently updated my N96 to V30.033 and now the power saver does not seem to work properly.
I have an .swf animation set in the Power Saver options (power save timeout set to 30 secs). After 30 secs when it tries to go into power save, the animation comes up briefly, and then comes out of power save (back to the standby screen. or whatever screen you had open last).
It will just keep doing this in a loop.
It used to work on the last firmware, any ideas?
The only way to stop this is not to use an animation.
Thanks.

Binx:This is definitly one of the problems comin directly from the firmware, because it used to work for me before as well and now all of a sudden with this **bleep** firmware, we are back to triangle of worst firmwares (V10, V11, V30)............

Nokia 6233 - screen awakes from Power Save / Sleep...

I have Power Save and Sleep Mode on, but ScreenSaver off.
However, the screen often awakes from PowerSave / Sleep (not sure which - manual doesn't describe the difference) and lights up.
This is especially annoying when driving and the Nokia is on a hands-free mount: it's quite distracting, and occurs about every couple of minutes.
It may be that when driving, I'm moving between different signal strengths, and that change to the powersaved screen display activates it again. But it has also happened with the phone in a building.
Any suggestions welcome

I have exactly the same problem, as do several colleagues. It's also very distracting when it sits on a bedside cabinet, lighting up the bedroom every few minutes in the middle of the night. Sadly I have no suggestion - just want to get this topic higher up the heirarchy so that maybe someone who knows an answer will spot it more easily.

Low fm transmission power on Nokia N78

Hello,
I have Nokia N78 phone. This phone works great, no huge issues with it. However, there is one issue that is bugging me. The issue is that the power of the FM transmitter is too low, even a good radio is unable to pick up the signal from the phone at even 20 cm distance (that is less then 100mW of power). I do not believe this to be a hardware, or antenna issue. I believe that this is a software bug in the newest release of the Nokia N78 software, as the transmission was not this low with older software versions of Nokia N78. This issue also appeared after I did update the software to newest version on Nokia N78.
Information with *#0000#
Software Version: 30.011
Day software: 08-05-09
Special software version: 30.011.051.1
Day special software version: 08-05-09
Language version: 003
Type: N78
Type: RM-235
I have seen this same bug reported elsewhere on the web. But input from this place would be good.
Thanks for the help. Regards.

I did test the antennas with GPS/WLAN and I always got 100% signal there. So the antennas are not a issue in this case.
I do believe that Nokia N78 and Nokia N79 use almost identical hardware and software.This software bug is quite annoying.

Backlight Timeout & Power save - N96

I notice when using applications that require you to wait moment (I.E waiting for a search to finish in maps) the back light cuts off at around 5 seconds.
Anyone know how to extend this? Am I in power save mode?
Cheers
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Briefly press the power button and then scroll one notch up.
If the option you now see is "Deactivate power saving" then power saving is engaged right now. Obviously select the option to deactivate power saving and revert to your normal settings.
Note the difference in the battery symbol itself below the bars of the battery level indicator when you switch power saving on/off.
NB: the phone goes automatically to power saving mode when there's only one bar left on the battery indicator. But it should deactivate PS when you start charging the phone.

Since I upgraded to Yosemite my screen saver keeps reverting to the default pictures

Since I upgraded to Yosemite my screen saver keeps reverting to the default pictures.

Back up all data. Quit System Preferences if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A folder should open. If it does, look for a file with a long name that begins "com.apple.screensaver". There may be several such files. Move them all to the Trash.
Log out or restart the computer. Test. If the problem is resolved, empty the Trash and recreate your settings in the Screen Saver tab.

No, it is not possible to change that on the 3110c.

N79 Power Saver Theme Problem

I bought an N79 just last mounth.
it's a sweet phone but i have an small problem.;
when i choose a theme for power saver (Date, text, slide show , ....) it have been shown for only 2 seconds and disappear and screen goes to BLACK.
even i choose longest time for power Saver but it did not work.
anyone has problem like this? any idea?
Does NOKIA fix this problem in new firmware?
how can i report this BUG to NOKIA?
thanks

I really doubt this is a deliberate design. Most other Nokia phones have the same "power saver" which pops up when the phone is idle, and all of them - even current ones - are set up so that:
1) The power saver appears after its timeout
2) The backlight switches off after its own, independent timeout
3) The power saver remains shown regardless of the phone's current state
Why would the Power Saver have its own timeout and selection of Power Saver screens designed to show you the date and time, if it can only be shown for 2 seconds? I'm disappointed that Nokia support is disregarding this issue, but I assume it's more out of ignorance and a stock response than any insight into their plans for future firmware updates. Is there a "bug report" page or something we can use to ensure it's properly logged and not just dismissed?
Help I'm trapped in a sig factory.

N70 Idle / Power Saver Screen

Hi
My Firmware version is: v 2.0537.1.7 18-09-05 RM84
I'm on the Orange network (UK)
Is there anyway to adjust/configure the small Date/Time/Call & Message info on the Idle / Power Saver Screen
It's just too small for me to see - It was much bigger & clearer on my Nokia 6100
Any advice would be appreciated!
Regards,
Curly :-)

Do you mean the power saver screen as in when you havent touched the phone for a while then you get the SINGLE HORIZONTAL STRIP across your screen with the date time etc on it which occasionally alters position on the screen?? If this is the one you mean then no you cant make it any bigger nor does the network affect it either, its a nokia thing. If however you mean the Orange home screen date time etc with the icons down the left hand side, then this is network specific to Orange, i have it too, not ideal but you get used to it after a while! I've heard you can get it flashed and revert it to original Nokia settings but this invalidates your warranty and could create more problems with your phone!! I'm gonna put up with it, other than the Orange home screen i'm very happy with my N70. It'll do me another 6 months anyway till i next upgrade!!

NOKIA N78 TIME ISSUE

I just bought brand new Nokia N78 and I could not get into time and date settings at all, so I decided to update the phone and everything went ok so I got 12.046 version on... then I wanted to change time and date again and I could not get in it always puts me back to main menu ???? I have used 7370 code to reset and I got the same problem ?
What should I do ?

actually the correct code would be *#7370#
now keep in mind that you will lose all your data so make sure you do a back up prior.
1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list.
2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone
3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is dead proceed with reflash if not, turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
re-flash - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons
If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service.

JFTR, that's a soft reset. A hard reset is achieved by powering on the phone with the '*', '3' and 'multimedia' keys pressed down.
What you're probably thinking of as a soft reset (*#7780#) is just a "revert to factory default settings". Nothing is formatted.
