Nokia N86 8MP Photo Album problem

Hi
Recently, when I opened the gallery to look at my photos, I found that in the "Captured" section of the gallery it said I had 0 photos, when previously there were around 300. If I try to browse to the pictures using the "Months" feature I also find there are 0 photos. The photos all still exist under the "All" catergory, however they have lost all the album associations they had before, and also a lot of them, had become other photos, in the older photographs kept cropping up again and again in the list of pictures.
When connected to the PC in mass storage mode the photos were all still there, and the ones which seemed to be duplicates of old photos when viewed on the phone were actually the photo they were supposed to be. Anyway, now when I take a new photo it it goes into the captured section of the gallery, BUT when I try to view the picture all I get is a thumbnail and picture of old pictures taken back in September. Again, on the PC they are the right photos, as they are meant to be.
This is super annoying, as I cannot view pictures I have taken recently, and most of the old pictures are unviewable as well (since the phone thinks they are duplicates of other photos), and the organisation of the 300 or so previous pictures has been lost, they are not in albums any more.
I have found NO helpful support regarding this with some Goolgling, PLEASE can someone help me out here? I am sorry if the description is unclear, but this is an awkward problem to describe. ANY help at all would be appreciated, as I have only just got this phone, and i really like all the features of it but I mainly bought it for tyhe camera and if it won't work I will have to change it for something inferior in functionality, but more reliable in imaging.
Thanks in advance
Henry

Mine does that sometimes. It is a bug. Take the battery off and restart the phone. The pictures taken won't ever return to the gallery but new ones should go in properly. Yet another infuriating feature. There seems to be an issue with the phone if you close the camera slider with the main slider open. It causes some issue with saving new pictures. It also does it even if you are careful not to do this after so much use. Unless you check after every photo taken that it has gone into the gallery you have no idea it is doing this as the post picture preview appears as normal. I also wonder whether going into messaging with a photo while the camera slider is still open is leading to this bug too.
It might be better to save all the pics onto the pc and delete every one of them off the phone and see if you can restore them back from the pc.
Also see if a sd card is any more/less reliable for picture taking storage.

Nokia n86 camera photos preview problem

hey, i have a problem with my nokia n86
when i go to Photos > Captured photos
and i "travel" by the months that the pictures were taken,
for some pictures, the preview image is completely different than the actual image!
for example, i browse the phone for some the pictures taken in september 2011. then, when i choose one and try to use it, or even if i enlarge the picture i chose, i find out that the preview is plain wrong!
this bug is for most of the pictures i took.
this is really annoying - i can't find pics i took and use them. i must move them all to the computer
also restart wont fix it.
and i tried to update the software but it is the latest.

Hi MS23,
Welcome to the Nokia Forum and thank you for your post.
Please reinstall the phone's current software using Nokia Suite. Click on the green arrow, where the option to reinstall the current software will be displayed in blue.
This will clear up the bug that's causing the preview of the image to be incorrect.
Please get back to me to let me know if you manage to resolve your issue, otherwise I can provide further support.

Tom Tom on Nokia N86 8MP?

Hello all, Would appreciate some advice as to the best sat Nav software on the market? Having owned a Tom Tom Sat Nav I would prefer if there was compatible software for my Nokia N86 8MP mobile phone as Tom Tom are usually user friendly! Also would like to here from people that have used the following software and there experiences with it: Navmii Co Pilot N Drive Route 66 Garmin XT Mobile. Thanks in advance Khan

Thanks for the reply "jjegan" I did not realize there was a co pilot 8 due out for Nokia, must say looks the business. Any ideas mate when it is due for release? Heard good things about the Garmin Xt mobile but put off due to them no longer supporting this and last update to map i believe was in 2008! NDrive looks ok but again put off due to customer support in Portugal and no office in UK. Any ideas on the Navmii? They seem to be located in UK and reasonably priced at £29.99. If release date is not to far away for copilot 8, i think i will hold tight for this version but thanks for the input much appreciated. Khan

Nokia n97 photo album problem.

Ok I just notice that not all my pictures that I had taken is loaded in the photo album. But when i downloaded the photo viwer on ovi all the photos I had taken with the n97 is on there. But on the Nokia photo viewer its missing some pictures. Does anyone else have this problem?

I just had this happen... I'd been playing about and then noticed none of my more recent shots had appeared.
I tried telling it to save to c:, d: (mass) and my microSD on e:
Still couldn't see anything except one I took earlier, and the 98 from the N95 in the downloads (they were on the microSD).
After some digging, I found all the images using the file manager. They were where they should be \images\camera on all 3 drives (exactly where I had told them to be).
I removed the microSD and cleared all the camera folders using the file manager, so in theory I had no pictures.
The photos app still said 1... It couldn't show me a thumbnail anymore, and trying to delete it gave a general system error.
Still couldn't view any new pictures.
So using the file manager I went into d: (mass storage) and told it to format it.
Once it had finished the photo app showed 0 images! Yay!
I then took a photo, and it appeared!
Success.
As to the cause, well the only thing I did do earlier was turn on the GPS recording of images. I'm not sure if this is a red herring, but apart from that I hadn't done anything.
I wish I knew where the image database was as that must be getting corrupted.

N86 8MP OVI Sync Problems

Okay I'll just briefly described my problem
Any help will be greatly appreciated
1) I did everything by getting the SMS for the OVI settings
2) I got the settings, saved it.
3) Changed my active sync from PC Suit to Ovi.com
4) After I click "syncronize", after about 1 minute or less It said Connection Error
a) I connect fine on WLAN, no problems whatsoever
b) The phone did not prompt me to ask whether I want to connect via WLAN or 3G
Basically thats my problem,
Can anybody please help?
Basic Info,
I am using the N86 8MP phone
Im staying in Malaysia
Yes I ported Number from DiGi to Maxis (but i dont see this as a problem as i got the SMS settings just fine)
I've read through the forum and couldnt find anything similar
I've tried removing my mobile phone on Ovi.com and re-do the settings
any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Thank you for your answer but it didn't work... The warning I got fromPcSync is that:
PC Sync information.
The connection to the Nokia device has been lost.
Possible Solution
Check the connection between the Nokia device and PC Sync, then restart synchronisation.
After attempting synchronization I tried to move a pdf file in the phone memory and the operation was succesfull...
Is there a chance that during the hard-reboot something was deleted from my phone that was neccesary?

Create Web Photo Album Problem

Please help!!!!!! I have the Adobe Web Premium Suite CS3 so I
have all the programs loaded on my computer.
I have been working on this for 2 days and cannot get this
command to work. I have 15 folders of pics that need to be put up
and I want family to be able to click on the thumbnail and open up
to a larger pic. There are over 100 pics in there. I loaded all the
pics in their own folders; I have tried jpg, tiff, jpeg, psd and
gif pics; (I separated them by file name so there are none mixed in
the folders) I put the pic folders inside my web page folder, then
I tried it on my desktop and I tried to use My Pictures folder.
This is how I am doing this:
I have the index.html page open on Dreamweaver CS3
I hit Command > Create Web Photo Album >
fill out "Photo album title:
fill out "Subheading info:
fill out "Other info:
In the "Source images folder:" when I Browse I go to the
folder and
I click on it and when that opens there are no pics in there.
Nothing shows up at all.
I finish up the rest and an error message shows up "An error
occurred".
Anyone know what I am doing wrong????
Thank you.... Linda

N86 8mp having language problem

I am using n86 8mp,I updated my software but only English & Chinese language is coming,I needed ARABIC language ,so pls help me,

If you had the Arabic Language before the update.. most probably the pack was installed by the retailer and it was not within the firmware. The Phone actually supposed to be sold in other region must have been bought by the retailer from Grey market to earn some extra money..
Now.. the only solution is to get the pack re-installed at Nokia Care. (..if they have it). Be informed that any future software update will again remove the language and it will need a re-install thru' Nokia care..

Photo album problems

If you have photo albums, you can't delete them. Manual says go to photo albums and click edit, a delete button will come up next to album and then delete. No button is coming up by the albums, if you add an album with no pictures in it, the delete button will show and you can delete that album, but none with pictures. Is there any other way to delete, tried to sync, it just added more pictures to the same albums I am trying to delete.

OK, got it figured out. If you go to itunes, click photos then select which folder you want to sync, while the main picture library is open, create a blank/empty folder by right clicking in the window..Sync your phne to that folder and all the libraries/albums will be removed from iphone, then just go and make a folder of the pictures you want and sync again.

Nokia N95 8GB / Photo Albums - make private

Hi,
Is there any way when adding a picture in a photo album to be seen only when accessing that album and not in the general view when going to the "Images and Videos" in the Gallery ??
Than you guys...

Connect the phone to your computer in mass storage mode.
Assuming you're using Windows, a new removable drive will appear in your "My Computer".
Look in there and see if there's anything in the "Images" directory. If there isn't anything then I'm afraid you'll have to restore what you can from your latest backup. You did do backups regularly, right? People usually do when they value their data.
