Nokia N900 - Volume and Typing Problem

Just recently my N900 has started doing its own thing, without even touching my phone the volume mysteriously turns itself down; and when its done this it will no longer let me type texts, contacts or anything that involves the keyboard!
Ive tried re-booting the phone and the problem continues, it works when it feels like it and doesn't when it wants!!
any ideas people?

try taking the battery out for 30 seconds

  • Nokia 5800 [ Screen and phone problems]

    I got a problem with my nokia 5800 screen,
    sometimes when my brightness is bellow 80% 2-3 flikering lines apear wherever i am ( home screen, watching a video, browser,call someone etc.)
    when brightness is at 80%  its normal always( maybe of the high brightness i may not see the lines)
    however this is annoying and i want to know if i can do anything about it !
    on top of that my phones shuts down suddenly on its own  randomly!
    the phone is functioning well running app without any problem and watching videos !
    skype

     The 5800 is getting on in years now so it's definitely a hardware issue your facing. Your best bet is to visit a Nokia Care Point and see if it's worth the cost of repair otherwise you'd be better off getting a new phone.

    You have to actually tell Nokia this is a users forum so your message in effect is not heard by Nokia .

    Download Ovi Suite on your pc and reinstall or update (if there's a newer firmware version for your phone)  your firmware.

  • Monitor sensor stopped responding alerts and typing problems with external keyboard.

    The past few days I have been getting these alerts. Also, I use my MacBook as a desktop about 60% of the time and like to hook up a full size keyboard. It's worked fine for two years but now I can only type a few words before there is a stall and I can't type anything for 30 seconds. It has happened on both a Kensington keyboard and on a 10-year-old iMac keyboard. They have both worked perfect in the past. Also, both work just fine on an old iBook and on an old iMac slot loader.

    Thanks, Rudegar, for the suggestion. 
    But as I said above, "Mr H, with the magic touch, went to the iMac - opened a new text edit doc and started typing - no problem, opened Google - typed into search field - no problem..." which is to say the problem has solved itself by just regrouping itself after all peripherals were detatched and HDs no longer involved?  We'll see if it reproduces itself next time I do this HD-HD copy.
    I don't know why it's fixed, but since all is well, the permissions are repaired, and I've put it to sleep and awakened it, and it's still running fine (indeed I'm typing on the iMac now), I am loathe to do anything to solve a problem that seems to no longer exist.
    If things go awry I will first try a restart or perhaps just shut down from the Apple menu.  As I said I was worried about doing this fearing I'd have to log in and not be able to do it - but the auto login setting works to my advantage here.
    Anyone else have any ideas on what went wrong???
    Thanks again,

  • Nokia 6151 time and date problem

    Recently I have reset my phone to Factory Setting, due to some problem that I'm having with my phone. Now, after resetting my phone to the factory setting, each time I off my phone (without removing the battery) and on it after that, I will have to update my phone date and time which before this I did not have to do that. Before i did the resetting,my phone will just on and no need fop me to do the time and date updating. If you ask me to on the auto update time,my service provider doesn't support this...how to set it back to its original state before i did the reset factory setting.

    This is usually a symptom of a faulty auxilliary battery. The auxilliary is a small battery inside the phone and not the normal battery and can only be replaced by a Nokia Care Point. It should be replaced under warranty if your phone is still under warranty.

  • Nokia E71 time and date problems.

    I cant ever set the time and date of my nokia E71. Anytime i access the time and date settings, it just doesn't go through. Please help me out.

    Hi Faces1, 
    Welcome to Nokia discussions board! 
    In order to fix this issue, I advise you to perform a soft reset on your phone: type *#7780#. Default lock code is 12345. If the issue persists, perform a hard reset. First of all, back up your data using Nokia Suite (Tools > Back up). Once your data is fully backed up,  type *#7370# on the keypad. 
    Alternatively, you may also check for updates on Nokia Suite (by going to Tools > Updates).
    Then try to set the time and date again. 
    Let us know how you get on and feel free to post any other questions you may have. 
    Regards,

  • IPod touch 3 volume and date problem

    My cousin was using my iPod touch 3 when she came to visit. Now she's gone only one side of the volume works in earbuds which is the right. without earuds it sounds like the left side. Also the date and time keeps missing up. ex. my iPod touch 4 ran out battery this morning so I used my ipod touch 3. it said it was 10 minutes behind on normal time ,and that it was Jan,7 1972. It'll be fine for the next hour or less then flip back to the date.
    Any suggestions?
    ~thanks

    The iPod only has one speaker so there is no left or right.
    - Have yu tried another pair of headphones to determine if you have an iPod or headphone problem.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    If still problem that indicates a problem with the iPod, likely the headphone jack is bad.

  • Nokia 5630 - wifi and connection problems + some s...

    Hi guys,
      I'm experiencing strange behavior in my Nokia 5630. When i got it i added 3 wifi points without a problem to "Internet destinations". But recently, whenever i try to add an wifi access point, it puts it into the "Uncategorised destinations". And i cannot move it to other folder (i select move, and choose Internet, but it throws me out to main menu). Because of this i cannot use new wifi on applications which check the "Internet destinations" for available wifis.
    And few unrelated questions:
     - has anyone had experience with NCP VPN client for symbian?
     - is there a application like SmartConnect for this phone? I think SmartConnect is only for N and E series?
    Thank you

    It is known problem with VPN Access Point on S60 5th phones.
    You may contact NCP VPN developers and see if they may offer some solution.
    Alternatively you may have a look at another VPN client for S60 3rd/5th. It is not IPsec VPN like NCP, this is PPTP VPN Client - SymVPN for S60 3rd and 5th Edition phones.
    This software is also placing created VPN Access Point into "Uncategorized Destinations", but  you can move this Access Point to any needed Destination and therefore you can use it with another software on your phone .

  • Nokia N900 on Win Vista - Problem PC Connectivity:...

    Hi people! I have a problem with PC Suite Mode conection. Windows Vista not found all drivers needed. I am using Nokia_PC_Suite_7_1_40_1.
    Not found: CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM)
    What can i do to solve the problem??
    Thanks!

    hummm that is the driver that emulates a serial port over a usb connection.   are you running pc suite in admin with xp sp 2 compatibility?  I don't have an vista pc - win 2000,XP and win7 only. reinstall pc suite with admin/compatibilits set, if that does not help try this  download and install OVI suite...ovi is not compatible with N900 but it is all .NET  so it may have drivers that are compatible with vista..   after ovi install start pc suite and reinstall pc suite support on n900
    good luck

  • T500 TurboMemory , Volume and RAM problems

    Recently I found some problems with my T500.
    1.Everytime when I restart the computer , the harddisk led will keep illuminating for about 5~7minutes. I checked "TaskManager -Resource Monitor -Disk"   found "\Device\HarddiskVolume1\ReadyBoost.sfcache" was writing in high speed.  Is it normal?
    2.Everytime when I restart the computer, the volume was set to  50db, whatever I set before the restart, it will go back to 50, even set to mute.... Why?
    3.I updated the RAM to 3G(1 2G single and 1 1G singal), from my computer I can see it says 3G memory, But in TaskManager only 2.5G can be used.  32bit Vista-B ATI 3650 graphic card.....why? 

    I dont know about the 2nd problem you have mentioned here but as for the first one I guess that's a little bit unsual. It shouldn't be busy more than 2-3 mins unless you have lots of programms to load.
    As for the last problem you should be able to see 3GB installed I guess but I am not sure if you can use it since you have vista 32. I know that you definately will have problems with 4GB but not sure about 3GB.

  • Mac Volume and Sound Problem in newly installed Windows

    Hi Friends,
    I intalled the Windows 8 Developer Edition using Bootcamp 4.0
    My Mac Volume/Hard Disk is not displayed in "My Computer". I read it will display the Volume in read-only mode. Can anyone help in making the Volume show on Windows?
    The sound is also not working. Any work-around?
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Ragu

    You are familiar with beta testing? Ever?
    It is ah, "normal" for audio to not work on Mac running Windows until YOU install an audio driver.
    AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys were buggy with Windows 7 3.0 and 3.1
    If you want, see what Paragon HFS 9.5 $19 and ask Paragon-Software about whether you can beta test their HFS driver.
    Their CampTune 9.5 was just updated to support Lion.
    I would also call Lion 7.1 still in the "early" stage and not fully ready - give it a couple updates like every other OS X release - in the 'final candidate+' stage too. The Boot Camp 4 drivers for Windows are better now than they were in July but still some rough spots and things missing.
    And there was a firmware update for the MBP just this week, and that model has been through 3-4 minor chip revisions to the motherboards, some of which deas with support and bugs with SATA 3 affecting SSD support.

  • Nokia C3-01 and backup problem

    Just bought the C3-01.  Installed OVI Suite on my laptop.  Updated new phone software.
    Installed my old sim card into my C3-01.
    Phone works fine, all my contacts are showing, did backup to ovi suite.
    NON of my contacts are showing in the ovi suite on my laptop.
    Notice that my contacts are shown as NAMES on my C3
    Ovi states backup successful.
    So where are by contacts/names backed up to?.
    Have done a reinstall for ovi suite, that did not solve the problem.
    Any ideas please
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Are these contacts on the SIM ? If so copy them to the Phone Memory..and then sync.
    Afterwards either delete all contacts from the SIM or in Contacts settings -->Memory in Use..select ONLY 'PHONE', else you will see duplicate entries in the Contact list and also the Caller ID will not function correctly.
