Nokia N8 "Phone Will Restart" but didn't

Hey,
I got my phone yesterday and it has been absolutely brilliant until now. I unlocked my phone to send a message and on the screen it displayed "Phone Will Restart". I thought nothing of it and clicked 'Ok'. It turned off and back on and just sat with the white screen and Nokia on it, I left it for 10 mins and nothing changed, I held the power button to turn it off and retry but I got the same white screen.
What can I do?
P.S. The phone is brand new but the sim card & memory card are 6 years old Whether that has any effect.

If you want to be sure to have your personal information destroyed, you should try a hard reset before you turn it in.
If I remember correctly, hard reset for N8 is
1. turn it off
2. hold the menu, camera and - keys
3. Turn it on (but do not let go of the three keys)
4. let the three keys go only when you see the country selection screen.

Nokia N8 "Phone Will Restart"

I got my new Nokia N8 5 days back and I am so not happy with it. The phone is so fabulous has all you need in it on the first site but after Day 1 , till date I have had more than 7 resets after the message "Phone Will Restart" and has an option for "OK". My phone also goes into a freeze mode once in a day.
P.S:- I don't even have much of data in the phone right now , 500 contacts , 30 images , and 76 songs that's it , and still it goes into freeze and reset.
I am so unhappy being a very old Nokia fan .. Is there any solution to the problem??? .. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I am from India . I got my Nokia N8 3days back. on the second day i really disappointed. I had faced a various problems in my handset(N8). The problems which i faced is "Restart and Hanging". So I went to Nokia care center and upgraded to a new version. On the same day itself I got the same problem along with a new problem. My phone got restarted several times. In one stage it died(Cannot able to start it). So again i went to the care center again the process repeated . Again i came up with a new problem My display keys did not work at all and phone got totally hanged up. Even i cant able to restart it. So, I am really disappointed with this handset. I believe Nokia is seeing this and soon provide a good solution for the problem. I think there is a Bug with Symbian ^3 Os.

My note is not working I did restart but didn't solve it

Hey dannibananny,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with the receiver on your iPhone 4. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:
iPhone: Receiver and call audio quality issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5196
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
1. Increase the volume during the call.
2. Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver. If you're using a protective case or display film, remove it and try again.
3. Make sure nothing is plugged into the headphone jack or the dock connector.
4. Check the receiver opening to see if it is clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
5. Try another location with better signal. If the audio issue happens only when on a call, it could be due to the location.
6. If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or a car kit, try turning off Bluetooth on your device. Learn more about troubleshooting Bluetooth connections.
7. Restart the iPhone.
8. Make sure your device is up to date.
9. If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, contact Apple Support.
Thanks,
Matt M.

HT1766 After restoring my iphone 4 to factory settings, then restoring from a recent backup, my phone will reboot but keeps coming back to the "new setup or restore from backup screen". How can I by-pass this screen to go directly to the sync apps/music s

After restoring my iphone 4 to factory settings, then restoring from a recent backup, my phone will reboot but keeps coming back to the "new setup or restore from backup screen". How can I by-pass this screen to go directly to the sync apps/music screen?

Well, it's certainly behaving as though the phone that was backed up was synced to a different iTunes library.
I'm going to throw one more thing out there... Yes, you backed it up to this computer... Was the phone previously set up to sync with this computer? Or was it syncing with a different computer and you just backed it up to this one?
You may have to end up setting it up as a new device and rebuilding the phone by manually re-syncing your data, apps, music, etc. to the phone.
Trying to keep your library on a different drive can be tricky. If iTunes starts up and the library isn't available, it may end up generating a new library ID, meaning that you could easily find yourself in exactly the position you're in now...
I'm curious why there was a need to restore your phone to begin with... It may not have any bearing on this at all, but it could.

I was updating my macbook pro and it restarted but didn't boot up. It made it to the gray apple screen with a spinning wheel underneath it. What do I do?

This was happening to mine as well and I had to take it in a few times and they had to wipe it completely. If your computer is more that 5 years old, it may be that it is time for a new one. I suggest taking it in so they can diagnose it!

For a 1G and 2G it can take hours. Make sure it is connected to a charging source otherwise the battery can fully drain before it is done. If still problem
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My phone will ring but when I get a text it only vibrates

my phone will ring but when I get a text it only vibrates my phone will ring but when I get a text it only vibrates even if I go into the settings and browse through the differnt tones it only vibrates

I took mine to the Genius Bar at Apple and it turned out to be a bug within the phone itself and since it was still under warranty, they replaced it for free.

I have a 3GS and updated by mistake to IOS6, now my phone keeps restarting but doesn't do a thing.

What do i do when my phone keeps restarting but wont fully turn back on

my phone just shut off and i dont know what to do. it keeps restarting but it wont fully turn on.

This is something where iPhone tools written by the jail break community could actually come in handy to self-fix your phone's issues. The primary thing to realize though is that Apple may be able to help with the problem themselves.
I don't personally jail break anymore, as I have no need to now, but I have experience with some of the tools out there. If you are having this issue and your phone was jail broken, then you might want to deal with it yourself rather than taking it to Apple. In many cases, it's totally solvable without too much trouble, and most likely you keep everything on it too. Before I go into details on that solution, let me exhaust the Apple support logic.
If your phone isn't jail broken, then Apple is going to be more cooperative in helping resolve this. If it isn't under warranty anymore, then that is a possible coin-toss. If it's not under warranty, but you purchased AppleCare+, then you might have a real good chance. Either way, you might just take it into an Apple store (you can make a reservation ahead of time), then explain the problem to them and see what they do. If it is under warranty and not jail broken, then they're absolutely going to find a way to make it right for you.
So the final logic boils down to whether you don't have it under warranty and Apple won't help, or you have jail broken it, or you just feel brave and want to try fixing it on your own. I'm not sure if I can mention specific tools here on the forum or not, but you should be able to easily google the tools which have Exit recovery, and Fix recovery as actions you can perform to try to fix the phone. Both of these may require that you know how to put your phone into DFU (device firmware update) mode, which is another thing you can easily search for. The tool I'm talking about may have a name that refers to a collapsible portable covering used in rain that may or may not happen to be some form of very small. I think one should be able to catch the reference here without me totally naming that tool.
I have used said tool myself in the past and it worked great on several occasions where my previous phones acted up. Having said that, I think Apple would appreciate me reminding you that they do not condone the use of such programs or tools which they have not authorized.
Good luck!
