Nokia N900 Software error

i cannot switch on my Nokia N900. the last time i tried to switch it on it just kept on loading and got stuck. now the same thing keeps happening. when i plug the usb my pc wont accept it. when i plug the phone to the pc the phone gets stuck as usual. how can i install the Nokia N900 softwares again into the phone?
Thanks

1)Remove your battery for 30 secs. After that insert it and reboot.
2) If nor, to flash your device, follow this guide...
and search for " Flashing/Re-Flashing OS & Vanilla"

hi,
I am trying to update my Nokia N900 OS version to V10.2010.19-1. My current version is 3.2010.02.8 and I am trying to update the software version to 10.2010.19-1 using Nokia software updater tool.The tool is able to recognise my device when connected via USB in PC Suite mode and it determines the available version as3.2010.02.8 in the mean time time it says the available version is also 3.2010.02.8 and it says my phone is upto date. I am wondering what to do and how can i upgrade my software. I am trying to to the update from Sweden. Could someone help how can i update my phone to new version.
Solved!

For some reason NSU is absolutely useless for the N900, as is the Nokia "Can I Update?" page.
Your best bet would be to grab a PC and update using Maemo Flasher, by following one of the many tutorials on here or over on Maemo.org: Firmware Update Wiki.

then try a clean reflash of the device with the global variant, and then do a vanilla flash as well to erase the emmc completely.
before you do this, be sure to connect to your pc in mass storage mode and take any files off the device you want to keep as this will take your device back to factory state and erase EVERYTHING.
HERE FOR DIRECTIONS TO FLASH YOUR N900
you will need to be sure that you have a non-64 bit pc.
1. Download the Flasher
2. Download the latest firmware image for your N900 (you will need your IMEI of the device)
3. when you save the global variant of the firmware to the "flasher-3.5" folder, save it as "pr1.2.bin"
4. When you save the vanilla file of the firmware to the "flasher-3.5" folder, save it as "vanilla.bin"
5. Turn your phone off
6. launch the flasher-3.5 program
7. type this command:   flasher-3.5.exe -F pr1.2.bin -f
it will then scroll a bunch of jiberish and then say it is looking for a unit.
8. with the phone still off, hold slide the kb open and hold the "U" button while you connect the usb cable to the phone. continue holding the "U" until you see the faint "NOKIA" logo and/or the USB connection symbol in the top right. The flasher will find the device and automatically flash the unit to the original rom
9. after about 1.5 minutes, it will be complete. DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR UNIT!
10. type this command:   flasher-3.5.exe -F vanilla.bin -f -R
11. now it should reflash the deviece and wipe the emmc clean of EVERYTHING. after it reboots, you can disconnect it.
before you load any software into the device via restoring from your backup, be sure to try the backlight settings again and see if it is still having the issue.
if the issue is gone then there was some software that you had installed that was affecting it.   if the issue is still there, then have your device replaced.
if the issue is resolved, then a couple of things.
1. depending on how many applications you had installed, you can go back and install them one at a time and re-sync your contacts/calendar seperately. or you can do a restore from your back up.
when you do the restore, be sure that you look at all the applications in the list that it is going redownload and install before you allow it to, to be sure they are the only applications you want.
2. mark this post as solution and post a kudos to any post above that has helped you in the effort to resolve your issues as a happy thanks to thier efforts in giving you free support for your device that NOKIA did not give you.

1. Installed maps on Nokia N900 not showing - 2. k...

Although I have installed local maps dae through nokia maploader to Nokia N900, when I start the Map app on the phone the data is missind. Instead it downloades it from internet.
I must clarify that if I reset the phone by reupdating the software the map data is working but as soon I reinstall the various apps I have , the local map date is not showing.
Any idea which app might get in the way?
Second question, regardless of my settings, the map app connect to internet. Every few minutes it asks me to connnect although I have disabled the automatic connections.

By the way where are the links to every map data version?
As predominantly a Mac user I have published links to a variety of map series upon the forum, but now there is very little demand except perhaps from users in India with 5230 without WiFi and high data downloading costs. As Mac support fairly sparse moderators have kindly allowed discussion of manual installation of map data, which should not be an issue for Windows users with Nokia Suite.
Unfortunately the latest map data only appears to be available for Windows Phone 8 devices and that for Symbian ones will probably fall further behind in future.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Nokia PC Sync BUG: Contact details not synched to ...

Outlook 2003: 11.8217.8221 SP3
Nokia N85 Updated to OS 11.047
looks like the fields aren't mapped correctly or at all. I can't modify the nokia phone book to add "internet telephone" fields, or safely back up ANY of the "internet telephone" fields from nokia to Outlook.
I rely on the "internet telephone" fields for my VoIP/SIP communications.
Please fix and update the software!

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

Network service commands on my Nokia N900

Hi there!
I just acquired my N900 two days ago from a Nokia authorised dealer in Nigeria and even convinced a colleague to pick one yesterday as well.
I live in Nigeria and my GSM operator is etisalat, im presently experiencing difficulties with using service commands on my phone. For instance, when i dial *235(hash, sorry cant find the symbol on my macbook pro) to check my balance; i get an error message saying "number incorrect". Other service commands dont also work. Is there a way around this?
Its frustrating also that there is no official Nokia plugin for isync. I use a macbook pro and cant seem to find a way around syncing both devices. In the interim, I found www.salling.com very useful in transferring my media files.
Should be grateful for useful tips and hints.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Actually there is a way to use service commands. You have to use an app called USSD pad. Here is the instructions from santy245 on how to install the USSD pad app.
1. First, install Rootsh v1.5 download it here http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/rootsh/
or http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Ma... to enable root access on X Terminal.
1B. download -->.deb file) put it in a folder name the folder a
2. Open X Terminal on the Nokia N900 (ITS IN THE APPLICATION MENU PAGE 2)
   type sudo gainroot  (Just like that) and press enter. (This will not work if you skip the        first step)
3. Ok now type cd MyDocs/TheNameOfTheFolder
    (include the path name of the folder you made if you made a new folder.
    I made a folder and called it a) this what I had to type cd MyDocs/a (Just like that)
   and press enter
4. Ok stop while running X Terminal open the File Manger to make sure your .deb file is where
    you said it was and rename it to ussdpad (Just like that)
5. Then go back to X Terminal type dpkg -i ussdpad.deb (Just like that) and press enter
    ok you are done go to (APPLICATION MENU PAGE 2) you should see ussd pad

I need help on syncing groups with PC Suite. When browsing contacts with Phone Browser, I can edit/view contacts, but no info about the groups I've defined on my phone.
I've also tried syncing contacts with Lotus Notes but no groups were exported.
This is a very important feature for my job.
Thanks ,
Silvio

if you are using the ovi.com, i would suggest you get your contacts squared away and sync them elsewhere, that is going to be deleted soon, if not already.
i had issues syncing my data with nokia services for the longest time. it was good, then they "fixed" the nokia suite and it wasnt....then there was ovi suite and that botched them all too.
i used to sync directly to my outlook with the 9500, and then through my other devices until ovi suite when i grew tired of the challenges with the contacts.
eventually, i ended up signing up with office365 to get an exchange account for $5/mo.
i think that the devs for the software products only use thier nokia exchange accounts when testing, which goes around the issues that we have had.
i would create either a google account and sync there, or if you want to also sync directly to an outlook, create a live/hotmail/outlook.com email address and then download the hotmail connector application for your pc, and then it will sync your wireless devices and outlook like a free exchange server and sync contacts/calendar/email.
if you go that route, you can get the hotmail connector here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/microsoft-office-outlook-hotmail-connector-overview-HA0102...

Nokia N900 Rebooting after droping it...

hello i have accidentally dropped my nokia n900 on the floor from about 1 meter high. The battery didn't come out but the back cover was removed and the phone turned off...
i then turned it on, the nokia logo appeared and then a black screen then the phone rebooted and it kept rebooting about 17 times then it gave me System Malfunction. System shutdown in 10 secs.
I removed the battery and the sim card and i still got this problem...
then when i came home i tried the R&D mode but it didnt fix the phone it kept rebooting even in the R&D mode...
so what do you think is this a software problem or a hardware problem?
i sent it to nokia today they told me to wait about 3 days to check if it is a software problem...
please tell me what you think the problem is as i am worried !
Thank you

ooooh.. I'm way off this evening..
It could be anything..
Remember, the N900 has two flash units.. the first is small and very fast (256meg) which contains the core OS..
The other is like an SD card and is 32gig and contains part of the OS
Some users reported their devices failed and couldn't see the 32gig storage.. this causes all sorts of problems, failure to boot has been seen, failure to reflash is another.. general flakieness..
If any of the components has failed, it might stop the device booting..
The OS is remarkably intolerant of hardware failures.. but since there are practically no serviceable parts in the device it doesn't seem to matter..
Point is, it is very unlikely to be a software fault.. I detest the test centers attitude..
"It could be a software fault"
then flash the device.. if it can't be flashed, its a hardware fault.. Infact no repair center would look at a modified, used OS.. A phone that has been messed with is very likely to have software problems.. what did the user do? delete some vital system file?!
But still...
if it can be flashed and STILL doesn't work, then the software is stock and it is essentially fresh-out-of-the-box meaning it has to be a hardware failure otherwise there is a flaw in the OS that could affect any brand new fresh device..
it should be a 2 minute job to diagnose as "hardware"
Point is, R&D mode does sometimes allow a faulty phone to boot and give you a chance to find out which hardware is playing up.. but if it still isn't booting I'd be hearing "my hardware is duff"

Nokia n900 in my hand

hi :
i have Nokia n900 in my hand , it is amazing , fast
let me if u guys have question regarding phone...

My first impressions:
picked up from the flagship store in regent st on Sumday and had to take the kids shopping for pressies so couldnd play with it for a good few hours until i got back home.... very frustrating .) i did take a peak and was suprised at how small the phone looks 'in the flesh' keyboard is nice and compact but could pose probs for people with fat fingers.
if you place on top of an iphone its almost exactly the same size. just a lot thicker.
screen is stunning when you spark it up for the first time and the browser blows any device of this class out of the waterby a wide margin. im writimg this review on my device whilst in bed .) excuse any typos....
i did a lot of research before parting with my money and there was a lot of internet chat about battery life. the first two charge cycles gave me resonable performance and now i can easily get a day of pretty heavy use from 8am until 1900.. wont go into my usage but battery aint an issue for a device of this class and as we are only on public firmware release 1 it can only get better.
after the excitement of powering on subsided i felt a bit dissapointed' especially seeing it cost me 500 quid. this lasted a day. it takes a bit of getting used to the interface and then it all starts to come together. yes there are a few interface issues that need sorting. my main gripe at he mo is currently no mail4exchange support for 2k3 but that can be sorted and the maemo boys are looking into it.
compared to previous handset releases this one seems to have gone very well if you take into account this is the first maemo device that nokia have released that is also a phone.i like to call it a hybrid
i can now say im loving it and my netbook is now gathering dust. i can browse the internet whist watching tv with the wife and its just as good as a netbook but a lot more portable!!
camera up to normal nokia high standards geotagging works well for me. very fast plus like the tagging of images for searching large albums. im also loving the customisation possibilities of the whole desktop. once i got the hang of the phone i spent 6 hrs adding and moving stuff about so everything i use daily is a click away.
once mfe is running contact calandar sync will be good. done an initial sync through the suite and the calandar\contacts diisplay is first class. possibly due to the nice screen res. it all fits on nicely and the calandar month view is so much better than on my bb. looks similar to outlook
x terminal aint too bad for the more advanced users. i set font to green with black background for a nice retro look. much better than the default! font size can also be reduced due to the nice screen so u can see a lot more text and its still clear
reckon in the next few days ill have more to say but the device defiately grows on you the more you discover..

any one know if nokia n900 will support N-gage games or not and does it have good and fast responsive touch screen as that in Iphone or not and will it have Scratch-resistant surface or not and will it support Multi-touch input method ??
I konw that this mobile still not present in markets yet but if any one know answers to these questions so plz answer them..Thanks

tito_66 wrote:
thanks everybody for your answers..but what do you mean cpitchford by Maemo 6 ,is this update to Maemo 5 or it is separate Maemo edition for devices which will come after N900 ??
Maemo 6 (aka Harmattan) is the next maemo OS (think XP to Vista) There isn't any firm guarantee it will run on the N900, but it is due out 2011 by which time the N900 will be quite old in phone terms.
DRM is something Nokia seems to love. They back Microsofts DRM heavy media formats (wma, wmv), they use DRM to manage their games, they use DRM to manage the ring tones on the devices!! Even Nokia music store sells music with DRM (how 2007 of them!! Seriously, DRM on music downloads?? *YAWN* get with the times, Nokia, please!! I can't sync my phone with Nokia music as it copies every track every time I connect my phone and your technical support haven't given me any assistence, so WHY would I pain myself further by using your DRM heavy online music store!?!)
DRM requires kernel (and potentially hardware) level intervention. Maemo traditionally uses a fairly stock Linux kernel and as such DRM doesn't really feature that much..if you have "root" access on the device you could potentially fairly easily circumvent it.. (why? to gain access to stuff you already own?)
To overcome the issues, DRM needs to be fixed into the kernel OR factor in other DRM hardware. It may come on the N900 already, dunno, haven't seen it yet.. but if not I don't think we're going to see it before Maemo6
In terms for future proofing..
The N810, announced end of 2007, ran OS2008 (maemo 4) which is already end of life.. under 2 years later..
To answer your question, Maemo 6 will be for future devices and *may* be available for the N900..
Don't get me wrong, though.. I don't see this as a problem.. I've owned a 770, N800 and N810 and I will own an N900 when its out.. each time the hardware got a lot better.. more RAM, camera, keyboard, CPU..

NOkia E63 All Software Problems listed, Ignored by...

here are NOkia E63 All Software Problems listed.
-- Picture Editor:
You can Zoom, Rotate a Picture but E63 never allows to Save the edited Picture, Worst SOftware Engeering.
-- No Calendar Sync with Address Book Events
Add a Birday/Annivesary event along to a contact, you will never see the event entered to Calendar/neither gets a remainder alarm on that occassion.
Very Sad to say Nokia has very less knowledged engineers who are not even capable of giving a software which Rs 500 mobile gives with colors.
-- Memory Card COrrupted and needs a restart of MObile to recongise the Mem Card
3 to 4 times a day and every time when you switch off and switch on You need to re-insert the memory card(which is supplied along with MObile by Nokia)
-- Picture Viewer
Awesome, you cannot open pics with folder wise,
Open a Pic from folder, delete the that pic, you will be routed back to Home screen instead of folder.
What a Testing Engineered SOftware.
and after encryting memopry card, and after decrypting i am not able to see pics on pic viewers.
but can access to files directly going to Mem card folders.
ENcrypt and decrypt are juts for name sake, not for functioning and serving the need.
-- Contacts
Enter one or two char in search, Say
Ma
it lists out
Mahesh
Manikanth
Martin
Mariya
though i see the contact Mariya, i cannot scroll down to select that Mariya Contact
i should have to enter full name.
then why we need Search option, lets go scrolling down from begining.
-- Message Inbox
Wow, Interesting Area,
1. Just Say i received a message from Number 123456789, now go and save 123456789 as Balaji in Contact.
Now get back to your Inbox, Surprise, you never see 123456789 updated with COntact Name Balaji, it will stay as 123456789 only, even give a try of Swithc off and Switch on 100 times, its same.
its new nokia software getting back to 1950s.
2. Now, one more test:
   You have already saved a friend number 12345 as Balaji in contacts.
   you get a SMS from 12345, well the inbox now promptly shows message from Balaji, now go back to Contacts, and change the number 12345 to any number,
   so now Contact Balaji's number is changed but you will never see this reflected in inbox.
   you will be still shown as message from Balaji, though that number is not at all saved.
One more roboustness testing:
You delete the contact Balaji, still you see in Inbox SMS from Balaji.
-- Wi-Fi.
Even with dedicated Wirelss internet connection, E63 just detects the connection but when started browsing, i just get5 this.
"No Gateway Reply !"
you give a try for 1000 times you wont get internet brrowsing in E63,
i get heavy headache if i start thinking why i paid RS12000/- for Junk.
if i meet any of NOkia people at my office i will kick to them for sure.
Nokia should be Sued.
if i keep on digging the non-sense behavior of Nokia E63 i dont know, instead i can write a pretty good software.
Dear Nokia,
I need all this and every software problems to be fixed, else i will go to COnsumer COurt,
this is cheating All indian Customers, Taking RS 12000/- and not even providing a sofwtare which a RS 1000/- gives.
And if i wont get all this erros fixed by 15days, i will publish all this info at all leading weblinks, and will ask none to go for Nokia,
because Nokia has forgotten what is SOftware.
Regards,
Balaji M
EVen after Several Mails to [email protected] i got mail as "All the mobile phones do not support all the features. Further, we endeavour to address any concern or suggestions that may be raised by our customers. We thank you for your valuable feedback and have forwarded the same to the relevant department for their due consideration."
i really dont understand why Nokia Customer Care perdonals are always so dump like Nokia SOftware Engineers, i am asking for existing features not working properly but they comment saying "All the mobile phones do not support all the features"
Again they say, if any questions ask at Nokia !!
I am listing out the problems that your very high end Mobile Costing Rs. 12000/- INR which is failing to give even Rs 1000/- worth mobile.
This is all the questions I have, again why should I have to go and ask the same at Ask Nokia" at www.nokia.co.in/asknokia ?
once listed problems are answered again and again just for formalities they are asking ask question.
I want the Board or Directors and Senior responsible personals to attend to this, and get me bug free mobile for what i have paid RS12000/- else return our money, else i will soon file a Cheating case of not providing a said fetaures working phone by Nokia at COnsumer COurt, India.
Iam not the one facing this, just visit mouthshut.com, you will see people crying with erros on NOkia even after paying RS 30,000/- who's money is all this ?
I am awaiting for the response with bug fix by 24 hours.
and also i need my money back by 1 week.

Nokia E63 has a name sake encryption and decryption. Once you encrypt and decrypt it is difficult to find any of your old saved files. Paradox is that the memory status will show a huge quantity of used space. But GOD only knows where the files are. Nokia support centres have no answer for this problem. I lost a large chunk of my pics n files. Shame of Nokia.
