Nokia N93 TV-Out problem

I'm connecting my N93 to a wall projector using a S-video adapter because it doesn't have RCA connection. I've tried in PAL, NTSC and 4:3 and 16:9 relations but in everyone the image appears in grayscale.
Any suggestion?

Unless I'm mistaken you CAN NOT just connect an RCA video cable (composite video) into S-Video cable. You need some kind of up-converter. The signal from the RCA video source is different that S-video.
You will need some kind of converter box to up-convert from composite video into S-video. S-video sepparates the color signals and the luminance signal so it can create better images.
The N93 only outputs composite video that has the color signals mixed onto the chroma subcarrier, you see black and white because of the backwards compatibility with old black and white TVs. Anyway withoug getting into more technical details, it not as straight forward as having a connector adapter to change from RCA to the 4 pin S-video cable.
So in a nutshell, you can't do what you are trying. You need a converter box.
640K Should be enough for everybody

  • Nokia 701 TV-out problem

    Hi
    I bought this phone yesterday. Totally happy with it etc. But when i connect it to my TV (via CA-75U cable) there's no picture... or sound. The phone recognises it as headphones.
    I updated to the latest firmware - nothing changed, did a hard reset - nothing. Help

    No,
    CA-92U type cable has 2.5mm jack so it is not compatible with Nokia 701.
    Nokia 701 needs TV out cable with 3.5mm connectivity jack like CA-75U cable.
    Hope this helped you.

  • MP4 (from Nokia N93) Sound Problem, on Preview Only! Help!

    Hi there, has anyone had experience with this problem?
    I have about 1 hours worth of video to edit in iMovie HD 6 using a MacBook Pro, the video is from the Nokia N93, it is 640x480 at 30fps, MP4 format with an AAC 48khz stereo audio track.
    After importing my clips into iMovie, playback (i.e. preview) produces broken audio. I know that there is nothing wrong with the actual audio as exporting the movie produces correct audio.
    Any ideas?

    Hi CL:
    Welcome to discussions!
    This might work-or at least it won't hurt anything..
    Open the Audio MIDI Setup application (Utilities folder).
    Try changing the settings to 44100Hz (CD Quality) or to 48000Hz (typical of the iMovie formats).
    Switch it back and forth even if it is already set properly. Then try again.

    Great help from a nokia forum
    The problem is that companies who are offering a company forum on the internet don't realize that THEY have to get involved too, not only by setting up a forum and leaving the users alone. Unfortunately a lot of companies are doing that, they probably hope that this is the cheapest solution to offer online support for their customers (customer helps customer...). Bad thing to do.
    Well, getting back to your problem: I'm afraid you need to hard reset your phone and try again.
    I have serious problems with the Adobe Reader in the N93 or any other Series 60 3rd Ed. phone too because it doesn't seem to "like" larger files. This seems however to be Adobe's problem, not Nokia's problem. On the other hand I wonder if Nokia ever tested the Adobe Reader in their phones because when I try to open a 3 MB .pdf file, I'm running out of memory.
    Taking a look at the current Nokia products, I can't help to notice a pretty big difference in product/software quality from one phone model to the other. Maybe this has to do something with different development teams working on a phone or another but Nokia's reputation is taking a deep plunge downwards if they don't succeed to increase product and FW quality, even from the start of a new phone.

  • Nokia N93 (firmware V20) issues

    Hello,
    I bought (on February 1st) a Nokia N93 that I quickly upgraded to firmware V20.
    Even with that firmware, I still have some very annoying issues :
    (1) I expected to personnalize my ring tones on the calling number basis, like on my previous Nokia telephone. Although I think that I found how to do this, it doesn't seem to work : the calling number is correctly received, but the telephone doesn't seem to make the link with the corresponding contact list entry.
    (2) There seems to be two different web browsers on this telephone, one for the Internet, and another for the WAP.
    The WAP browser seems to have a lot of trouble in correctly displaying pictures in WAP pages : about one picture out of two is shown as a (about) 2x2 pixels tiny "picture". In order to correct it, I have to move my N93 screen to the landscape position, and next to move it back to its previous place.
    (3) When watching a video using the N93's Real Player, the video is not displayed full screen at the beginning. In order to do this, I have to STOP the video, then open the "Option" menu, and select the "Read in full screen" command. But when I watch it full screen, if I press any key, the display reverts to tiny size without stopping, and I have to restart the whole process for going back to full screen.
    I didn't find any command for displaying full screen without stopping the video. Did I miss something ?
    On such a tiny screen, I couldn't imagine anybody willing to watch a video otherwise than full screen ... Why isn't this the default, or at least being configurable for becoming it ?
    Best regards,
    Gingko

    Yes, about "contacts", I already did that.
    I can select the appropriate ring tone for each contact, that way.
    But the problems is that, when this contact later makes a phone call to me, and although I correctly receive his phone number from my operator, and although his name and his phone number have correctly (hopefully) been entered in my contact list, and although I selected a ring tone for him (either directly or via contact groups), the N93 doesn't seem to be able to find the corresponding number at the time of the call, and the display shows only the phone number with the default ring tone, like if I never created this contact in the list.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Nokia 5800 - Cuts out during every call!!

    I have had my 5800 since last August and over the last couple of months it just cuts out somewhere between the 2 - 3 minute mark of a call regardless of if I have made or received the call. 
    I have never updated the software etc. My partner also has the same phone and he hasn't got this issue.
    Any suggestions from the forum?
    Cheers.

    I have this phone too and mine does not do what you are describing. I have not seen any other posts on this subject so I guess you may have a problem with your handset.

  • ISYNC Nokia N93

    Hello,
    I ran into a problem with isync and the calender sync to my nokia N93 phones. Until 10.4.8 I used the mactomster plugins which worked fine. Today with 10.4.9. installed, the mactomster plugins removed Isync does update my phone book, but when trying to sync the calender (an Entourage Calender from ICAL) it returns with the following error: an unexpected error, sync stoped !!!

    Thanks

    I think I have helped people with the N73 & iSnyc here
    1st off go here:
    http://iphoto.fantasyformula1.uni.cc/MAC/index.html
    and download the 2 files you will need.
    Next -
    In the Finder, control-click on the iSync application and choose Show Package Contents. Then navigate into Contents -> Plugins -> ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice -> Contents -> Plugins -> PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin -> Contents -> Resources. In that folder, replace MetaClasses.plist (make a backup first, duplicate it on your desktop or somewhere!) then drop the new .plist file you downloaded from me.
    Drop the NOKN93.tiff file in to the same folder as where the .plist sits and then fire up isync.
    I don't have a N93 so can't test it, I have just applied what I done to get my N73 working to try help you out. Let me know how you get on.

  • Nokia N93 and copying music from a Mac with Nokia ...

    I recently just got a Nokia N93. I am able to use iSync with it thanks to a plug-in.
    I have had some success using syncTunes v1.6 to copy music files over to the memory card when the phone is connected with the USB cable. But the playlists do not work.
    I did download and install the Nokia Music Manager for the N70 (I believe).
    Will the Music Manager work with an N93? I am actually seeing the music on the phone but the app says iTunes is not available.
    I am using Mac Os 10.4.8, iTunes 7.01. I have installed v1.02 of the Nokia Music Manager.
    Will there be a release for the N93 or should the current version work?

    I have been happily using Sync Tunes the last few months.
    Recently, I started playing around with making smart playlists in iTunes. What I wanted to do was create a random play list of tracks to copy on a daily basis to my phone.
    I ran into all kind of fun with audio file formats. It turns out the many of my audio files are encoded as M4A and MP4. These will not play on the Nokia N93.
    Fortunately, I found a web-site (http://smartplaylists.com/) explaining how to filter out these kind of audio tracks in the smart play list. The built in help in iTunes is very poor in this regard.
    The following link is to explanation on how to select file types in smart play lists.
    http://smartplaylists.com/comments.php?id=729_0_1_0_C
    Now I can create a playlist that is 950 M of audio tracks and I then use sync tunes to copy it across.

  • I need help my nokia N93 is blocked :(

    Hi everyone i really need help as i bought the nokia N93 of someone on the internet. And it has been nearly 2 months now and the phone is blocked as i been told from nokia. I contacted the person who i bought it of and he is saying i did not blocked the phone and there is nothing i can do about it stop ringing me. I need some help please can anyone tell me what do i do about this person?

    A blocked fone {IMEI locked} is a result of the owner reporting the handset lost or stolen to the network.
    Or its part of a fraud investigation.
    ie: contract taken out , get free fone on bogus details thus the network block it.
    If you purchased off an auction site then lodge a dispute straightaway.
    Even tho you have paid good money from the handset unfortunatley the handset is the property of the network , thus they will not unblock it for you.
    You could report this to the police if you believe the above is actually the case.
    If the fone is asking for a security code when you place your sim card into it then try 12345 as this is the universal code if not changed by the original owner.
    Remember if the fone is locked to the network then u may only be able to use a sim on that particular network.
    If you want it open to other networks you will have to become a customer of that network {buy a prepay sim}, and ring them to get the unlock code, and you will have to pay an unlock admin fee.If you search this site you will find many postings on this subject.
    Good luck

    Daniel, have you tried emptying your phone memory? It might be that the update is not working, cuz the phone runs out of memory. Try clearing your browsers cache and cookies, deinstalling all software installed in phone memory, disable any downloaded theme, empty your mailbox (if it is in phone-mem), and move your photo's and videos to your memory card. Then reboot and try again.

  • Nokia 5300 - Power Saver Problems

    Hi!
    I have a 5300 and sometimes my Power Saver mode does not work.
    I'm sorry but I coudn't figure out the problem reprodution steps yet. All I can tell is that from a certain point beyond the power saver does not appear although it is activated. One way to correct this is to turn the phone off then on.
    Is Nokia aware of this problem?
    I found a similar post about another model, the suggested explanation resided on the operator's firmware, but in 5300's case the firmware is Nokia original...
    Thank's.

    I also tried formatting my memory card... that did not worrk either

Then I put it in to offline mode and he was quiet. the next morning at work I started charching the batery and went too normal mode (did not restart).

  • 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.  

  • Time out problem in BPS

    BPS friends,
    We have a planning function to copy Versions based with some filters. The copy function takes 5 hours and times out after that. The function is reaching max buffer size as recommended by SAP so we cant increase the buffer size anymore.
    We are on BW-BPS 3.5.
    How can I solve this time out problem? Please respond to me.

    Hi Pat,
    How many record did you copy ??
    Could you restrict the copy in not 1 package ??
    Package per package ...
    I suggest you ..
    e.g. you have restriction by a 0CALMONTH / something ..
    Then,
    You can copy e.g. for January to March, then March to August, etc.
    You can automate it by planning sequence.
    Hopefully it can help you a lot.
    Regards,
    Niel.
    thanks for the points you choose to assign.

  • AirTunes with AirportExpress cut or drop out problems - my solution...

    I buyed 2 of the Airport Extreme one month ago (Firmware 6.3, Itunes 7.1.1), never got them working fine, till yesterday...
    I have A Zyxel ADSL WLAN Router Switch. WPA-PSK as I wanted a secure Network. Both of the AX were connected with static IPs. WLAN was always working fine, but I had many cut outs with airtunes. I wanted a solution with lossles streaming audio with the possibility to connect my Receiver digitally. That's why I bought my first Apple hardware, as I was always told, Apple=Plug'n play. Very frustrating!
    I tried other switches, Routers, WLAN adapters and cards, nothing worked. Airfoil does not support multiple speakers yet, so it's useless for me.
    In the FAQ of the Airtunes, Apple mentioned to use lower security, as some Computers probably do not have enough power to stream music flawlessly. But my Computers really do have enough power! I think the AX does not have enough power to do that. So I created another wireless network with one of my AX. I set the security to WEP-40bit key and joined this new Network with my other AX. Not the best solution, as I'm now connected to the Internet or to the AX to use Airtunes. Cables could fix that problem, but then I could use a wired system instead...
    I use Channel 11 for the AX WLAN (the only clean channel in my area), Multicast to 11, only G mode for Wireless and a 5 characters WEP-40 key and no WDS. Seems to work at the moment.
    I hope this will help others with the cut or drop out problem. If you have a working AirTunes system, please post your setup. Mostly I'm interested in a Setup with working WPA...

    Thanks, I hope I can help others with this annoying problem...
    Sorry, I forgot to write about the RF Interference. Belive me, I spent hours and hours searching for a solution in the Internet and every checkbox the Admin utility offered me to try out... I'm working as a system engineer, and supporting computer systems since the early 90ties, so I'd say I have a bit knowledge about all the networking, WLAN, Audio... In school we had the Apple Mac I with the 12" monochrome monitor and appletalk for networking quite funny!
    But back to the RF interference: At the moment I activated it on both AX I own. I have a microwave, wireless phone and I'm living in a Area with many WLAN access points. I can choose between 6 networks!
    I'm the only one with a network higher than channel 6, so this area is clean at least.
    As my AirTunes do work at the moment, I'm not going to try if I could also deactivate it.
    Next step is to try if I can connect the AX Router to the internet. A connection to my ADSL router should do that, but up to now I had very strange behavior when plugging in a ethernet cable to the AX. If this will work, it will be my final solution, at the moment I only see it as a workaround...

Maybe you are looking for
