Nokia N78 Problem - Urgent

Hello,
After updating my mom's Nokia N78 firmware, the phone asks for a lock code. The code has never been changed, so we tried the default one (12345). But it didn't work. Then we tried the most common one my mom uses, in case she changed it and didn't remember. Still didn't work.
So my question is: is there any way to recover the code? And if I can't do it manually, would they do it in a Nokia shop?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I tried hard reset (* + 3 + media key + turn on) and it still asks for the code.

Lock codes can only be reset by a Nokia Care Point. They will probably require proof of ownership before they will reset it for you so do remember to bring the receipt with you.

NOKIA N78 VIBRATING PROBLEM

Hi...
I got a problem with my new Nokia N78.
The vibration alert is not working???
Change the vibrate alert on also change the profile settings to ON but still no vibrate alert.
Do I have a faulty phone? or am I doing something wrong?
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. ^_^

Mine had that problem on the very first day (before the update came out) and it did vibrate on startup but not on silent profile with vibration "on".
But after I had it turned off and back on it started working.
I always wondered what may have caused that, I haven´t updated until today and the problem hasn´t showed since...

Nokia N78 Bluetooth A2DP Connection Problem

Hi there!
My phone model is Nokia N78, type: RM 235, software version 30.011.
I got a SONY DRC-BT15 Bluetooth Receiver, which is like this one http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&lang...
Nokia N78 is said to support A2DP Bluetooth connection but how can I turn on the A2DP Bluetooth connection? Can anyone help me?
I have no problem pairing and connecting my N78 to SONY DRC BT-15 but the sound I hear through the SONY device is definitely not A2DP at all. The sound sucks. When I connect my SONY DRC-BT 15 with my MacBook, I can choose to listen by Mono or Stereo Mode, and when I choose the Stereo Mode(I guess it's what we call A2DP), the sound through the SONY device is good.
So how can make the SONY headset to connect to N78 via A2DP to listen to good music?
I have been trying for hours. This problem makes me crazy.
I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks for showing me the specifications and reminding me of the DRM issue. Just one more question: When there's no DRM issue, does the A2DP turn on automatically and connect to my bluetooth headset (which supports A2DP of course) automatically too? Or how do I switch to the A2DP connection mode on N78? I just don't know where to turn A2DP on!
Thanks a lot.
Pairing provides the profile in a handshake protocol so yes, it should work.

My Nokia N78 (firm 30.011) doesn't refresh the lib...

I have Nokia N78 30.011 and a have a very annoying bug. I updated the firmware version from 20.149 to 30.011 and since then i cannot upload music to the music library. I copy it to my microSD card and put the option to refresh the music library.... and nothing. I tried to upload the music files via Nokia Music Manager and still nothing. I reinstalled the phone software but i still cannot refresh the library. The songs which are uploaded before the update are in the library but i cannot input nothing more. With my older version of the phone software i don't have such problems. Should i return my phone software to the previous version (and how)?

Hi penio, first of all try to delete these files - You can do this to rebuild the library as it is corrupted.
Restart your device and then refresh your library. If this doesn't help then;
Connect the phone to your PC/laptop and put in 'Data transfer' mode.
To delete the library files:
- Ensure you can see hidden files in Windows Explorer:
Windows Explorer .. Tools .. Folder Options .. View
Select "Show hidden files and folders"
- Connect the phone to your PC using the USB cable in "Data transfer" mode
- Find and rename (or delete if you're really brave) files with names like:
E:\private\101FFC31\mpxv1.mpd
E:\private\101FFC31\pcv5.mpd
E:\private\101ffca9\harvesterdb.dat
(assuming the phone's mass memory / card has been connected as E)
Note that the folder names may be different and the files may have prefixes - eg: mpxv1.mpd could be called abcmpxv1.mpd. Basically, you need to search under the Private folder for any files that look similar.
Now just refresh the Music Player library and the job is done.
This will take longer than normal as it's a complete refresh, but it should now work.
If this doesn't work then format your memory card but copy your IMP stuff.
Please thank me by giving 'KUDOS' star. It will help me to serve you better.
Currently using N82 and 5230. Next would be N?

Nokia N78 firmware update

Whenever i choose to update my phone (N78) software, after donwload completes from internet, at around 13~15% of updgradtion process communication (USB link) with mobile phone drops and systems propts a new hardware is found (Nokia ROM Driver) but after sometime all communication is stopped and updating software keep asking for retry but nothing happens. This is also to be noted that during the whole operation i usually close all firewalls.
Can some one guide me the correct or alternative way to upgrade my cell's software?

Nokia seems to be comitted to improve the user experience... Its really good to know that... They have to do it to survive... BTW Nokia N78 latest firm ware is a little better. The operations seems to be fast.
It has just been a day with the firmware.. So far no problem... I faced a few problems while updating the USB get disconnected when the update is about to begin... but the latest software update program has all required warning... It asked me to restart my pc and my cell phone... And try again ... I did it Alas it worked ... got it updated ...
I found a few things new :
The icons for videos (The one in old version was better) and search are all new.
I am from india. I brought this phone seeing the FM transmitter option. But after i brought the phone i found it missing.
But with this software update i got the option under the music menu :-) thanks a lot nokia.
Few problems with the camera still remains... music volume has come down a bit... the gps seems to be working a little faster.

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 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.

Nokia N78 - Date, Alarm, Messages issue after upda...

Hi all,
After software update of my Nokia N78 I retrieve many problems;
please see the list below:
1) Data change suddenly
for example... 26 April ... to 8 May
I noticed that this issue happens often during the week-end.
2) Alarm doesn't work for the daily scheduling
For example:
Scheduled alarm at 17:00 everyday.
sometime happen that the next day alarm doesn't start !!!
3) Alarm don't turn on the phone.
Like the point 2, but in this case often the phone doesn't wake up me !
4) The sort of SMS message.
happened that 5/6 old sms was on top list (sorted by date)
I delete this messages in order to fix this issue.
Please help,
Thanks for your support.
//Luca

Hi !
About point #4, yes, I know ... thanks anyway.
I have a great news for Nokia guys. I deleted all jobs alarm... I mean, I'm not using N78 alarms, and the date issue seem solved !
Unfortunately this is only a workaround, I'm using the alarm of my great N73
I'm an Analyst/Programmer Senior... Nokia, please, check your alarm application that most probably caused too much problem.
Thanks.
//Luca
PS
I found many fault on this SW release; related to the background light, phone keypad lock, keys that seem locked... etc etc... this is the worst update released.

Nokia Maps 3 doesn't install on Nokia n78 - Error ...

Nokia Maps 3 doesn't install with Nokia Maps updater on a Nokia N78 (Vodafone branded). The instalation file is transfered to the phone, but at the end of the instalation there's an error message 114 - device not supported.
This is interesting because Nokia claims that Maps 3.0 is supported for this model...
One can find this problem had allready been reported in the beta labs forum. The answer was "it's a beta version". People even tried hard resets and still the problem didn't get solved (no need to suggest doing hard resets).
Now, Maps 3 is a final release and the problem that had been reported in beta fase is still there. This shows that Nokia put out a product knowing it would have bugs.
So, I'll use another GPS program (so many out there like Sygic, Garmin, etc), because Nokia Maps 2 maps are outdated (highways are not there, etc).

@djmuzi: you need the Nokia PC Connectivity Solution as this installs the cable drivers to make the program recognise your phone in PC Suite mode. Nokia PC suite also installs these drivers as part of its installation process.
for all: my advice is to visit symbian-guru.com and click on the recent article detailing Ovi Maps graduating from beta to final. in there is a link to the offline download of the Maps client for S60 3rd edition FP2 and S60 5th edition. this should work in a lot of cases.
however, you do need to have a fresh slate in order for Maps Loader 3.0 to work. only way you can do this is by using the Nokia PC Suite cleanup tool available on the website. this will install all traces of PC suite and NCCS/windows driver packages. then reinstall PC suite again, and let it find your phone. once found your phone, you should be able to operate Map Loader.
please throw some kudos our way, it would mean a lot to us
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

Nokia 820 problems

Just bought two Nokia 820s, one for my wife and one for myself. Awesome phones except for a couple of issues. First, the GPS and Nokia Here Maps. When I am at home the maps show me in the right spot but reports (showing the address) that I am 3 houses down the street. When I am at work, the phone shows my position correctly but reports that I am in the Elementary School across the street. Hmmmm. gMaps does not have this problem and seems to have more detailed maps about my city and roadways. So it is a Nokia software problem? I like the Here functionality better, but the accuracy and detail are missing compared to other map services so I have to keep more than one app on my phone, using precious space. Second, I would really like to be able to sync my phone calendar with my google calendar and tasks. Right now I have to use third party apps so I have more than one calendar app (I prefer to use the one on my phone with live tiles!!!!) and more than one task app, etc... and more than one travel app. Also it would be nice to separate the people I want in my phone book from the people I have on social accounts (I will NEVER be calling most of the people on my facebook account, but there are people I call on a regular basis and I hate scrolling through or having to search a gajillion people to find who or what business I am looking for) and still have them listed, just seperately.
Thanks for listening and I sincerely hope these issues can be addressed.
chris

Were you running gMaps on the same phone? If so then that would suggest the innacuracy in probably in the mapping data. This being the case, you should report the error to the map data provider using the link below.

With regards to synching with google, this service was stopped by google .
