Nokia N97 Lock Unlock Key Broken

Hi all,
I have N97 and my lock/unlock key has broken few days ago. I would like to ask you how can I repare it? Maybe with some glue by myself or by changing the entire pannel? Thanks in advance

Hi all,
In fact, I found the best solution, at least for my case. As I want my phone to be locked when it is in my pocket I found an application that fits me perfectly. It is named: PocketLock. Here is the lin to the application:

In fact, I was afraid that I would press some application or to make a unwanted call when my phone is in my pocket without know that but this application avoids that. I hope it is usefull for all of you who have broken Lock/Unlock button
Greets,
Boby

  • Nokia C7 unlock key broken as its projecting out

    I accidentally got my C7 unlock key broken. I took it to nokia service center.. They said me that it doesnt include in warranty.. They ask me 2000 INR to change completely.. a small piece of projecting plastic switch got broken,how can i spend 2000?. What am i supposed to do..?? 

    yeah.. i'll do that if issue crops up again. Bcz it occurs not that frequently, it will be really tough explaining the issue to Nokia care guys.. its been 10 months already and my nokia care still can't see purple patches in my display...  

  • Nokia N97- lock or unlock??

    Hi, in this moment i'm in USA and i like to buy N97. My answer is,if i buy N97 from USA, does will work in Europe(macedonia) without unlocking or smt??

    Hi Dinevski,
    Your issue with living in Macdonia and buying a phone in USA is that there are 3 different versions of the phone for different areas of the world.  If you are in USA, you will probably get what is called the NAM version, which has UMTS 850 frequency, but not the UMTS 900 frequency. 
    Well, all the models have a stream of grequencies - look up the specifications of the phone.
    The issue is this: you need to know what frequencies are needed to use the phone where ever it is you plan to use it, and then buy the right version of the phone.
    Different telcos create networks at various frequencies - for example in Australia, Telstra are the only ones using the UMTS 850.
    Also, if you buy in the USA you will have a product code for the USA, which means your firmware will not have the languages for your part of the world and you will get firmware updates when the USA does, not when your part of the world does.
    Also your phone numbers in contacts will be stored in the USA format, not your local format.  I'm in Australia and I have an USA phone, so I see the differences like that first hand. 
    Hope that helps.

  • Probleme locked unlocked key on 9360 curve

    Hello, i think i have a problem with the key to unlocked my BB curve 9360. When I press the letter A for 2 seconds, the BB is locked. To unlock the BB, no button works. The only solution is to remove the battery!. As the lock button / unlocking seems defective, you would know the keys to use to unlock it. Thank you for your help.

  • C3-01 Touch and Type Keypad Lock/Unlock Issue,,

    I just bought this C3-01 touch and type phone and it got big issue of locking/unlocking key pad..
    phone gets locked and even if I click on keylock button and then click unlock (on touch screen) then it never gets unlocked.. (I checked guide it says same thing)
    how to resolve this issue? anyone had same issue?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    1st Of All, If u just got oyur Nokia C3-01 Device, then You must be having the old version of SOftware in it, maybe v05.68. So In that SW, You have to press the unlock, there is no swipe to unlock,
    So, You can clearly see, there is a Button at the Right of your mobile below the Volume Buttons (Right If you Have your Device Screen Facing you, Left If you ahve the Back Battery Cover Facing You)
    So Press that Button, you will see your display glow showing " UNLOCK " option in the middle, Press It.
    It will get Unlock.
    Also, after Unlocking, Before adding anything to Phone Memory (like contacts, messages,etc) make sure to update your Mobile FW/SW to the latest version out there (which is v06.05)
    So, If you have a PC with internet connection, connect your Device with USB, and Use Nokia Software Updater (Or Nokia Ovi Suite, whatever you have got Installed In your PC) and Start Updating ASAP, Alot Of Bug Fixes have been Taken Place,
    If Still Not Unlocked, RETURN YOUR DEVICE NOW, because your Device is Faulty.

  • Thinking of getting another nokia n97

    I have a HTC Desire on 3 uk and like the phone but want a second device for sat nav .. i am thinking of bidding on a 6 month nokia n97 locked to 3 uk as I loved the phone when I had it last time and must admit didnt have the dreaded error messages re memory
    I notice that the firmware is now v 21 has this improved the phone ???
    I love ovi map and cant stand the google map ....
    what do you think ... if not what about any of the other nokias that do the free ovi maps ??
    ta

    My phones have been Vodafone branded, and maybe that's the cause, but I'm not aware that 3 is any better, I can only give advice on my own experience, and I truly wish it mirrored CJ's, but it hasn't, and if anything the phone has got worse with V2.2 (I'm in the middle of it's 3rd hard reset as I type) When it's working it's the best phone I've ever owned, but barely a day goes by without at the very least having to remove the battery. I do have the phone FULL of stuff, but I bought it as a multimedia smart phone, and refuse to run it empty with occasional navigation , WHY SHOULD I ??
    Hope you are happy with whatever choice you make, and if it's N97, I hope you're one of the lucky ones !

  • Hard reset Nokia N97 without knowing lock password

    I received this phone from our inventory at work.  I am not sure who used it before me.  But, I do not know the lock pass code.  How can I hard reset it without knowing the lock password.  Everything I try, I am prompted for the lock password except one attempt.  I held in the up arrow, shift key and back arrow while powering on.  This did some type of reset.  But, the lock password still is not 12345.
    So, either the lock password for Nokia N97 is not 12345 by default, or this is not a true hard reset?
    Any ideas?

    You could try changing the sim, it may be a sim lock code and not a phone lock code, I have my sim locked but if I change for spare sim the phone doesn't require a code it just starts ! Worth a try ?

  • HT201412 My lock screen is frozen. It will not let me slide to unlock or anything. I can't power it off because my lock button is broken and I can't do the assistive touch thing? Help!

    My lock screen is frozen! It will not let me slide to unlock or touch the screen at all. I can't power it down either because the lock button is broken. A friend of mine said I might need a new Digitizer? Is there anyway I can avoid that? Pleasae Help!

    I am having the SAME exact problem! Except instead of lock button broken it's my home button so I can't do the whole "put in recovery mode" deal. My screen only says "tap the home button 3 times" and it has my screen locked until I hit the home button but since it is broken I can't get in my phone at all. I have all of my work info in my phone so I'm screwed and can't get any help. PLEASE let me know if you find a way around this...!!!
    Thanks!

  • Music Slider Key broken of my nokia 5610

    The problem with my nokia 5610 is that i didnt drop the phone at all but its music slider key broken and its look so ugly without it, is there any possibility of replacing it? Anyone had similar problem as mine?? plz help!!

    Hi All,
    Please note that i have the same issue, where in the slide is so delicate that whenever you put in you pocket or jacket & when you are taking it out, if a small thread gets stuck inside the music slide button, it will break, i am suprised with this fact as too why has nokia created a slide button with such low quality plastics, also this button would be the most used button of all & must have been the strongest of all, currently i am using the phone without the slide & trust me its not a pretty sight to see. I am not sure if prority centers in Bangalore, India have the part or if i have to spend a fortune to get it replaced, as i have heard nokia spares are one of the most expensive :-( as compared to the competition.
    Does anyone agree with me? Request nokia support to check on this please respond.
    Regards,

  • Nokia N97 -UNLOCKED from 3G.

    Hiya folks!
    Have recently purchased and unlocked a Nokia N97, now using o2 it basically doesn't want to do anything more than normal For example; if i try using Wifi, apps, it trys to do something via 3g but can't then even do that? Any ideas? Plus, as unlocked, if i ever did a hard reset or factrory restore, would it revert back to 3g?? I've SMS/WAP settings from o2 but still need 'something'?????
    Cheers folks!

    The phone is obviously not 'unlocked' it's just not contract. If you gointo connectivity, and delete all your Destinations then search for new, it should find O2 and work ok. You should also be able to contact O2 to txt some configuration settings to help you out !
    Good Luck
    PS there are other things you can do but you'd need to check the web as they can't be discussed or suggested on this forum

  • Nokia 5233 software and lock unlock problem

     HI all....

    If you have an issue with your phone and to have it replaced you should first try the retailer you bought the phone from, since you only got it yesterday.

  • N97 lock key problem

    Whenever my phone turns off because of the empty battery I connect to my PC in rder to charge but when I turn it on the csreen lock key does not function. the phone start unlocked but when it get locked the key does not unlock the phone. So the ony way to go back to normal is removing the battery to switch off the pho and restart it.
    Is this a common issue?

    I have this exact same bug and basically this prevents me from using the device in a way that would be normal. Honestly, I paid quite some money for this machine, and it keeps annoying me with these relatively small, but very user un-friendly bugs.
    It almost certainly has to do with firmware upgrades, because I didn't have this particular bug before upgrading the firmware, although the older version had other bugs...
    It doesn't look promising...

  • Keypad Lock - change unlock key sequence

    Is there any way to change the keypad unlock key sequence as it is too easy to do by accident. I have found that there are a few different ways of unlocking the keypad other than the one stated in the manual, all only require two key strokes. The most annoying one is the center of the navigation key followed by 'OK' this is very easy to do whilst in a pocket. I think a key combination of at least three different keys would be better or simpler (and better for me) only unlock the keypad when opening the sliding keypad.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Nokia N97 empty home screen freezes out of nothing

    Last week my Nokia N97 type RM-505 was delivered, and I had to hard reset it three times since then. I have updated the firmware to V 11.0.021. The problem is as follows:
    The home screen freezes totally out of the blue. All the widgets are on screen, but empty, including the selected profile and date next to the clock. The only thing that works is the clock itself. The contacts shortcut has disappeared as well.
    By using the menu button I can still perform most tasks on the phone, the phone is much slower however and the battery runs out faster. Reinstalling the firmware or going back to factory settings have no effect at all. The phone has been in this state for up to six hours, either on or off (with the battery taken out).
    The problems seems to occur at random, once when I turned it on in the morning, once when using it and twice while not using it but when the phone was turned on. I used a hard reset (*#7370#) the first two times and the third time after I used the *#7780# reset.
    I was thinking of returning the phone, but the last time it returned to normal after typing in *#0000#. I couldn't make out however if this was the cause for the phone going back to normal or that it was just a coincidence.
    At this moment my phone functions normally, but I am quite worried that it will freeze up again and I have to perform a hard reset again. I have read on a Dutch forum that somebody had exactly the same problem, so if there are more people here please report, hopefully with a permanent solution.
    Solved!

    Hi...
    I was having the exact same problem with an N97 I bought 5 days ago. It randomly froze and all I could see was the clock working. But an added problem I had was that my screen and keys were both locked so I couldn't even perform a hard reset. So basically my phone was frozen, all my widgets were blank and all the keys were locked. The screen unlock key wouldn't work either and opening the slider wouldn't unlock the keypad either. My phone doesn't have a warranty either so I was on the verge of being royally scr**ed.
    Luckily after searching around for a few hours, I found these steps to get the keypad unlocked long enough to perform a hard reset:
    1. Take out the battery and reinsert after 1 minute.
    2. Connect the phone to a computer and let charging begin.
    3. Turn on the phone with the slider open.
    4. This is important: Do NOT let the screen lock. Press buttons, the keypad button on screen, anything.
    5. Hopefully once a few buttons are pressed the numeric keypad on screen should come up.
    6. Use *#7370# and default code 12345 to perform hard reset (or soft, depending on your choice)
    7. Phone is back in working condition.
    However once I had performed all these steps and reinstalled my widgets and stuff, I woke up this morning to find my phone stuck again with the keypad locked. After reading this post I connected my phone to the computer to unlock the keypad and removed the email widget. After restarting my phone it seems to be working just fine. Hasn't gotten stuck or anything for a few hours now. Hopefully the problem won't resurface and I will be able to update to the new firmware and have this issue resolved once and for all. Will post updates if the problem happens again.
    Thanks for all the info!
