Nokia N8 (Slight Bugs)

Hi There Nokia N8 Lovers,
   I know everyone has been experiencing lots of bugs of all sorts with their new N8. I too have had problems but nothing major....PROBLEMS that Nokia should address in the next firmware along with the problems everyone else is going everywhere.
1). Photoviewer:
   When viewing my photos they come out fine but once i pinch them to zoom in - it goes through and right when its about to render the picture clearly the screen goes blank...whats up with that me and 3 other friends have the same problem with that on our N8's.
2) Music Player album covers:
  When going through my music i of course have album covers that are missing because they dont have any.. But where is the option to add album cover? 
3). Music Store:
When in my music Library: theres the option to Go To music Store, when i do tap on that it goes to the phones main home screen all the time.....
4).Messaging:
While messaging: Sometimes it goes straight to the homescreen as well just like the problem i had with the music store.
5). FIX all the other BUGS everyone else is having....we spent lots of money for this phone: we didnt pay for automatic RESETS or Freezes and things like that....
Thanks

There are not lots of problems with the N8
There are a few problems, mostly problems with a few specific handsets / batches rather than global problems with the phone
alot of questions about how to use the handset
and alot of queries about features that people would like to see on the phone
as to your specifics
1) Don't see it on my handset,
*2) You have never been able to do this form a nokia handset, why I don't know, you have to use the Ovi Music Player PC app to embed the album art to your tracks on a PC before transfering to the phone
3) cannot replicate takes me straight to the music store for the uk (perhaps an operator specific issue)
4) Never seen
5) Have not had any kind of auto reset on the phone, save for when I installed a  specific S60 app from the sis file that caused random reboots, removed the app problem solved
Can I ask if yours is an operator branded handset,
as to 2 (*)
On my 5800Xm I can choose album/cover art! I open the music player, select albums and choose an album, options-> Album art, selct options again in that menu and click on "change" and the phone lets me select images from the pictures folder.. ( I downloaded covers from coverhunter.com)
I haven't recived my N8 yet so I dont know it that approach is possible, but it was/is at least possible to edit/change cover art on the 5800xm

  • Nokia Suite's bugging about Belle

    Downgrading my E6-00 from Belle to Anna 25.7 was a struggle and it would be a nightmare if Nokia Suite for any reason started installing Belle again (e.g. if I miss pressing cancel and instead press install by mistake). Is there anyway I can prevent Nokia Suite from bugging me about upgrading to Belle. I've been in Belle land and will NEVER return. Belle is useless.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I found it was easy.
    Just change the URLs to the update servers in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Nokia\Nokia Suite\NOSSU2\usergroups.cfg. You may substitute any server name found with an URL to Google or what ever.
    This disables updates (and generates an "connection failed" error when trying to update, but that's something one can live with). The number one goal is to keep Belle from coming anywhere near the phone ;-)

  • Nokia N8 - Little Bugs

    I know everyone has different things going on with their wonderful N8's frm like little bugs as i would like to put it...I recently received my Nokia N8 and i will say that i am happy with what i have accept for the fact that their are a few little things that i come across that irritate me sometimes. Now i know some people might dissagree but i will say this everyone that owns the phone is having some lil problem..
    Firmware Upgrade Suggestions:
    1). When double tapping on image in the photoviewer..(After tapping to zoom in the Screen goes blank..
    2).Please add a feature to add album art in the N8 like the N95 and 5800.
    3). Sometimes during texting or even just browsing the web - the phone goes back to the home menu out of  nowhere (and yess my fingers are nowhere near the exit or home button)
    4). Can you make an app for Facebook so that we dont have to log in first through OVI....
    5). Video loading during playback....Please fix that
    6). When in the music library i click the option GO TO MUSIC STORE (it just takes me back to the home screen)
    7). Can add back Video Ringtones... I miss those
    8). I dont like the lagg of 2 sec when tryting to go through the menu (and yess i have all applications closed)
    Thats all thanks

    I am unable to replicate the blank screen fault when double tapping 12mp images on my '3' UK dark grey N8. Maybe try saving to the memory card instead of internal memory?? Also there is no 2 second delay in the menu on mine or videos stopping, be sure not to close the menu and it comes up instantly! There must be something different about the 3 branded firmware, I can't find many glitches!!

  • Nokia n97 top10 bugs for me

    After connecting via USB, in some modes the memory for frontpage gets switched from Mass to C. This causes email settings etc lost.
    The above bug can also happen when battery dries out.
    Sometimes calendar entries time cannot be set with qwerty keyboard.
    Web browser shuts down randomly.
    Web feeds not working.
    No support for vcards.
    Nokia Messaging takes up lots of space on C regardless of settings. Makes the app unusable.
    Battery life is < 24 hours for me.
    Sometimes keys are locked and you have to remove the battery.
    Random lagging and bad responsiveness.
    Let's just hope v12 fixes these. I am very, VERY disappointed in this device. Software quality overall feels very bad in the Nokia devices.

    I made a hard reset and deleted all aplications that could use the internet connection and the error isn't there any more.. I suggest when u do the hard reset that you don't make a backup and restore it because the same error will appear again in that case (happened in my case). I saved only the contacts and calendar inputs into .csv files and restored them later. Everything works fine here now. I tried everything else and the popups still appeared again and again. Hope it will work by you.

  • Nokia 5800 alarm bug auto-fix!

    My Nokia 5800 (UK)
    0575581
    v30.0.011
    Had the workdays alarm bug. The alarm would sound 3 minutes late.
    But after the daylight saving automatic update the bug has disappeared.
    My Date and time settings:
    Time zone: Local Time
    Automatic time update: On
    I hope this helps.

    It is in fact pretty random. The change back to GMT didn't cure the problem for me and the alarm still goes off late. The phone also switches late out of a programmed profile and the scheduled backup sometimes doesn't happen at all.
    The update to V31 is reputed to fix this issue - if ever we get it for our UK CV handsets.

  • NOKIA 5800 XM :Bugs dependent on SIM card used

    Hi !
    It's been a couple of months now since I've been using this phone. Because I'm travelling abroad and using different network operators , I could notice few bugs related strictly on the SIM card used.
    Starting with previously firmware releases, if I'm using an Orange SIM card, sometimes when powering on the phone, just before register in the network, on the screen will appear few vertical lines, display will fade into blank and then will reboot. As a hint of what could be, if this SIM card is used in another phone, it will ask "Allow send SMS....".You must answer YES otherwise the question will appear in a short time.
    Regarding the latest firmware, 40.0.005, I've noticed when using a prepaid SIM card, that the "Settings" menu will not show anything when accessed. You need to restart  the phone in order to gain access on the folders from "Settings".
    Just to mention that my N5800XM phone is network free.
    Thanks for attention,
    Mario

    There's No relation
    i'm also prepaid with network-free 5800
    just try to soft reset your phone and see if it works

  • Nokia X6 faults/bugs/general gripes/questions.

    Hi all,
    i have a few questions, and i cannot seem to find answers by searching, apologies if i have got it a wee bit wrong, and just cant find them.
    i have the X6, 16gb version. taking a lot of getting used to, mainly because the touch screen doesnt seem to be.....consistent, if that is the right word. using the standard phone keypad vertically, no problem. using the qwerty keypad, i could swear i am not touching a key, yet it will be typed.
    on other occasions, i can press a key, feel the phone vibrate, see the key highlighted above, and the key isnt typed.
    when on the home screen, i can tap the bar for my email address, the phone will vibrte and highlight the bar, nothing happens. have to press, press, and press again.
    also, when connected to a wifi network, and i receive an email, if that email has a link in it, and i try to go to that link, the phone will try to use the mobile web/wap connection rather than the wifi it is already connected to, no matter what.
    email - if i use the "soonest" setting for send/receive, my battery dies in roughly 8 hours, not receiving more than 15 emails a day. maybe 2 sent.
    does not always recognise the switch from vertical holding to horizontal either.
    are these faults/bugs? i have the latest software version.  
    adding songs to mass memory. -  windows 7 recognises the device, and allows me to transfer media to the X6 simply by drag and drop to the mass memory. however, if i do this, the media (mp3 in this case) cannot be found anywhere on the phone, except for a selectable ringtone, and cannot be found to be deleted.  transferring media via ovi suite - no issues, just an extra step that i would have thought not necessary if it can be done via win7 drag and drop...is this normal or a bug?
    also, is there any way to get an email spam filter for the X6?
    sorry for all the questions!
    Solved!

    Hi ,
    Like you I'm again a new user of nokia x6 which i bought after lot of research.This handset has disapponted me a lot, right from the day 1, i faced a lot of problem(frequent crash, non responsive, bad video display , etc...) with my handset, but as i was a new touchscreen  phone user i prefer to be patient and get use to it.
    But after struggling for two weeks i hv decided to go to shop and discuss problems there. With the problem i stated, shop owner convinced and gave me a replacement, and that day i did a biggest mistake of my life by not taking my money back rather(300£).
    I wish i could hv taken money back and today not felt so guilty about it.( hard earn money)
    Now as i got a brand new handset with replacement , i quickly did a check at shop and went back home. I didnt realize i will get into more trouble. Sadly it was a new handset so initial  response was very fast but when i verify its bluetooth functionality ohh dear no bluetooth detection not even the search option is visible,  that day i really annoyed but what max i could do ...brand new handset and such a pity.
    Also i found the top right shortcut  not work by touch which is seems hardware problem, so i realized will hv to again go back to shop and request for a replacement AGAIN. As this is my third visit to the shop , shopowner refused to give a replacement rather ask me to submit handset for repair( brand new for repair funny) with a deposit money for a loan handset to work in between. I did that and got confirmation will get it next 10 days but it arrive after 15 days with lot of chase/enquiry to customer care.
    When it arrive back only my bluetooth problem resolved but shortcut problem persists, as i am getting used to it now as it frequently works and sometimes not work.
    Finally I started living with it and rather treat it as biggest mistake.On the same day my friend has bought N900 and i found this phone is much better, though more costly than x6  i would rather ask everyone to not go for X6 but go for n900/nokia  or smthng else but not x6 straight NO.
    The feature i like about N900 is video chat, this phone is just like computer its display is much like computer and you can open website in their PC format rather Mobile format which is amazing as this will help to perform work like in ur pc/laptop.
    I hv bought Nokia X6 for voice/video chat /email/browsing but sadly this happens  with lot of trouble and problems. like browsing u cant see flash content always, some times it comes and sometimes its not visible, just a small F icon so its a pain to reload page just to see the page content, dont know how to go for it as when this problem occurs in pc we go to adobe and download latest flash version but here in handset what we can do as no way to upgrade flash in mobile browser.
    One very big problem with this handset which i really like to highlight it to the nokia developers  is that -  when this phone hang it hang for ever - no key will work not even switchoff key , the only option left is to open battery manually from back to switchoff/restart the phone, really annoying.
    Browser suddenly close while browsing is again a problem which i'm use to it.
    Camera light sensitivity is very poor to sense in room, u always have to change setting to night mode for taking pic, also the flash timing is imperfect while taking photograph though its a five mp
    So in all i wish i could hv bought any other nokia handset being a nokia fan as always but not x6. There r tonns of other problems which i dont think to write here as am too tired of writing this much as never wrote a review in my life for anythng but today i thought to save others not getting into trouble.
    Hope one day nokia will release one upgrade that will resolve all its problem.
    Thank you for reading.

  • Nokia E71 Firmware Bugs - 210.21.006, 02-03-2009

    I've had the phone since it first launch shortly after middle of 2008.  Awesome phone!  No problems from day 1.  
    Unfortunately, right after i updated the firmware in March 2009 there just seems to be a list of bugs showing up.  Here's my list.  Hopefully someone can help or a new firmware will be released as soon as possible, as some of these problems are rather frustrating and down right disturbing.  And obviously you can't go back to the previous firmware.  Just to be certain, I reinstalled the firmware twice just to make sure it wasn't a 'bodgy first time install' issue. 
    1. Home Screen Notifications - Not there
    Problem: Apart from Calender Events, every day, the following will 'EVENTUALLY' not show itself:- new message, miss-calls, email 1, email 2, voicemail, miss-call.  They will not show irregardless of the actual events happening.
    How do I solve this?: I have to go back into 'enabled applications' and un-tick the above home screen events/notifications and then, re-tick and then click ok.  Only then, will these notifications re-appear.  Not really a SOLUTION as it will happen again within the next 24 hours or less.  This is SOOO annoying as I rely on the Home screen notifications for an update of what is happening.  How does one realize if there was a miss-call or message received if there's no visual notification and the sound is turned off?
    2. Auto-retrieval of Email 1 and Email 2 - Disables itself
    Problem: I have emails setup so that they check my email 1, every half hour and email 2, every 1 hour.  I have no actual issues retrieving the emails automatically.  Accesses and downloads nicely using my network.  However, EVENTUALLY 2 to 3 days later, the 'AUTOMATIC RETRIEVAL' disables itself.  Why does it do this?  Never used to.
    How do I solve this?:  I have to go back into the respective email accounts and their settings, and re-enable it.  Again, not really a solution as it will disable itself within a few days.
    3. Shortcut Keys on the Home Screen (left and right) - Does not respond.
    Problem: Every so often, the left and right shortcut keys won't work.  They are there, but if you click on them nothing happens.  Example. On my phone I have 'new SMS' (left) and 'search' (right). They will work for 1 or 2 days, maximum.  EVENTUALLY, when I click on either of them, nothing will happen.  I can see a very quick 'flash' on the screen as if something is about to happen, but..... NOTHING.  This happens also when I change the shortcut keys to open up different applications.
    How do i solve this?:  I have to restart the phone. No other choice. There's no way of going back into the settings and changing the shortcuts to something else and expect the left and right shortcut buttons to function properly.  You have to restart the phone!  Never used to that either.
    Having said all that, the previous FIRMWARE DIDN'T DO ALL THIS.  Is anyone else out there experiencing these same problems?  This NEW firmware UPDATE, has turned what used to be an AWESOME phone, into something that is a bit of nuisance.  
    Nokia please save the E71!
    My e71 wishlist.
    more printer drivers for different brands
    fix the purple haze on the pictures
    keep group access points as a standard on the e71 as they did in the e61i 
    AND GET RID OF THESE BUGS!!!!!

    Well, I do hope they provide a new firmware soon which will correct many of the current bugs, since I'm sure Nokia are aware that this won't push many to buy THEIR next devices, it will be Blackberry's or HTC, etc.
    My E71 came with fw 100.x... and I wish I'd never upgraded to 200.x...
    I'd like to think you'd get more out of your device with a fw updgarde but unfortunately you end up with a worse performing phone!

  • Nokia PC Suite [Bugs, Everywhere!]

    Well I've finally started this needing thread that almost alot of other people would of started if it wasnt for me.
    Nokia pc suite is proberly The program with The most Bugs i've ever seen.
    Nokia,
    Why cant you just use beta testers to test the software before releasing unstable versions that arent working for anyone.
    Alot of other people agree with me and Nokia customers are going for this other "GForce Software" Not surprising. Nokia please fix up your PC Suite software, The features are awesome but the bug factor should Be none Or even low. I can rate the bug factor for this software at the moment: High.

    Since: December, 2006.

    Yes! Incredible. I´ve just spent two evenings trying to make the PC Suite work. Uninstalled and installed it several times on both a Vista and a XP PC. Getting the USB-driver to recognize my phone (or my wifes) is near to impossible, and when I finally manage the software crashes doing different tasks ( like trying do do a backup or deleteing several messages from within the communications center )
    Your software is the worst disaster I´ve ever seen. As a senior developer I have encountered many different systems and software, but nothing even vaguely as bad as PC Suite.
    You should really consider sacking your entire development staff and buying the services instead. A flock of monkeys would eventually develop a more stable system than your developers have managed.
    My next phone is going to be bought from an other manufacturer than Nokia.

  • Nokia 6220 classic BUGS

    Having updated my 6220c recently from 2.23 firmware to 3.46 a very annoying bug came up.
    1) 
    I found some posts describing this problem, but none of the people had the 6220c: 
    When I my power off my phone in the evening, the alarm will ring in the morning, BUT only once. The Snooze-function doesn't seem to work, when the phone was shut off. So, when I set my alarm to 7:30 and shut the phone off, it will ring at 7:30. Pressing snooze-button, it won't ring again until I switch it on manually (usually MUCH later and quite frustrated). When the phone is switched on again, the alarm starts saying "7:35 alarm" although it displays the right time (8:30) in the upper left corner...
    2)
    Occasionally my phone seems to change date or time. Probably this is the consequence of the first bug? I'm not yet sure about this, but it happened three times since the firmware update. Once my mobile thought, it was yesterday, once it thought it was about 6 days later. But until now, I don't know if it's a real bug, or if it just "happened" by some accident
    3)  
    No real bug, but somehow annoying:
    Why can't I turn off the camera sounds? Even when the silent profile is active the camera confirms focus and shooting with quite annoying sounds.
    Feel free to comment and add your own problems with your phone. Maybe some Nokia associate reads the thread and we will get rid of the bugs with the next update ;-)

    i know that this is not going to fix your bug per se, however you might just try leaving your phone on at night and during the day. i belive that this bug is temporairly solved by leaving the phone on. it is not the only device that suffers with such issues. i am not sure how come Nokia has not done anything about it yet but sorry to say you are not the only one with this or similarly frustrating issue. just keep in charging overnite, nothing will happen to the phone and you might actually have your alarm fucntion and date/time issue restored. sad i  know, but this is what i have to do. 
    You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

  • Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Bugs! (v20.0.012)

    These are the following bugs i have found in the Nokia 5800. Please do add yours to this post that you find. So other users who have not got v20 can decide if they want to update to v20.
    Bugs...
    .1.
    When receiving new message and viewing it, the little envelope icon on the left in the inbox is still set to closed. its not like previous firmware where the envelope is open once you view your message.
    .2.
    Check your battery on the right hand in the main screen just say for example u got 3 bars, now go in to music player and play a music track and u will notice it will be 2bars instead of 3. It will always be 1 bar below than what u got on the main screen battery status bar.
    .3.
    If updating from previous firmware with lock code enabled to v20. your phone will not be accessible whatever pin code u enter either ur own, or default codes... 12345, 00000 etc (BEFORE UPDATING TO V20, TURN OFF YOUR LOCK CODE !) 
    Would be great if NOKIA could add more themes with the phone rather than just one. ope to see a new update for this.

  • Nokia N8 Firmware Bug(Sensor Setting)

    Whenever I filp over my N8 on an incoming call it goes into silent mode even though the sensor setting is set to off.
    I forced my friend to buy a N8 and this problem was also found in his N8 Grey.
    Are nokia developers aware of this?
    Video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFk0DSjaxIc

    It happened to me again, but I managed to make it work again. It seems when you restart the phone this option stops working properly. So what I did to make it work again is:
    1. I ticked the silence calls box, then
    2. I restarted the phone,
    3. With the ticked box tried calling to see if it worked – it did what it was supposed to do (it silences the calls when I turn the phone over), and
    4. Then I un-ticked the box and it started to work properly i.e. it does not silence the calls.
    From trial and error, I noticed that step 3 is important!
    Good luck.

  • Slight Bug in iWeb?

    I have found a bug (feature, whatever) that gives me a problem when I publish to a folder. If I make changes to an iWeb site and publish it to a directory, and make additional changes to the same iWeb site, the changes are not made if I publish to the same directory named folder. This is true even if I delete the folder before publishing. I have to change the name to get the changes....
    Needless to say I am changing the folder name by incrementing a number in the folder name...
    Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

    I understand. That's why I am asking you to make sure that your FTP application is set properly.
    Don't be tempted to use the FTP provided by your hosting service. Use a good stand-alone one.
    If you don't want to pay for one, a lot of people use, and are apparently satisfied with, the freeware Cyberduck.....

    I rely on the "internet telephone" fields for my VoIP/SIP communications.

    Hi pauldee,
    Its mapped but not very user friendly. Once sync is over you can see view last report of Nokia PC Sync. In that you can see that Internet telephone is mapped to User field. This you can find in Outlook in
    Select a contact which has got internet telephone, In Contact options like General Details Activities Certificates and All fields-> Select from -> Select All contact fields from drop down list. There you can see the User field 1, 2 and so on , in this option you can view your internet telephone field Hope it may help you
