Nokia N97 Screen Scratches!!

Hey guys...so here we go!! I hv a N97 black for about 2 weeks nw...me and my friends who have this device here same the face problem!! the screen seems to hv some scratches now afta using the Stylus!!! The screen protector is on the screen too...so im nt sure if the scratches are on the screen or jst on the protector
And the scratches seem to visible in day light or when u tilt and concectrate really hard on the screen...
Wanting to know if any others out there face the same problem and wanting to know whether the scratches are just on the protector or on the actual screen itself.....
Pour in the replies

Hey 36541258 (funny name ;-) ), 
the same thing happened to me, I took of the Nokia screen protector and two days later I had the scratches on the phone. I never used the stylus, I guess it was something in my pocket. I now bought a screen protector and a cell phone pouch but still the scratches bug me so much :-( When the screen is black or dark, you can see the scratches, my bad! I guess we have to live with the scratches, you can't do nothing with touch screens. If I find something out, I will let you know. You too please...

  • Nokia n97 screen ghosting burn in lcd

    i've just recieved a replacement handset from my insurance company, however i left the phone on charge whilst it was off all night last night, i woke up to find the "nokia" logo and text burned into the lcd screen of the n97, finally dissapeared after a few hours of leaving the phone off, however i noticed that this particule n97 has plenty of ghost in/burn in if i leave a certain image on the screen too long i.e. when its charging, on call, etc.
    the only way to fix this is to leave the screen off for a good few hours then this clears up, ive phoned the insurance company who are sending me another replacement,
    what the heck is going on ?? this is the first time ive experienced this

    i think its a problem with all n97?

  • N97 - repair scratched screen?

    So this new N97 seems to have a screen made out of jello or something. It's scratched after only 3 days use, and that's using my finger not the stylus!!
    Any ideas how to get these scratches out? Is replacing the screen viable? 
    Cheers.

    You are using a £500 touch phone without a screen protector?!
    It's odd that it has scratched so easily as it did very well in scracth resistance tests. It must have been in contact with something sharp. 
    Give this product a try to fix your scratch:

  • Nokia N97 LCD Screen Problems - a never ending sto...

    Hello.
    I recently purchased a new Nokia N97 smartphone. Everything about the phone is awesome, such as GPS, decent camera, good audio and video playback, etc, except for one thing. First thing first, I always see ghosting or 'burn-in' of images on the screen - quiet clearly on bright backgrounds. This is one of many annoyances as it often is visible when your watching movies and will only go away if the screen is off long enough. Another fault with the screen is that it appears to not refresh fast enough as I can often see what appears to be 'scan lines' running horizontal (if the phone is horizontal). Last, but not least, there appears to be diagonal lines crossing the screen from the top left to the buttom right as well as little matrixes of dots, however they do not seem to be on the LCD itself but rather the resistve layer. This may be just a feature to make the screen more reponsive, but I don't know and it is only visible in bright light, but when it is, you can diffently notice it. Does anyone else notice these strange effects? Will a Nokia Care Center help fix it?
    And yes, screen proctectors have been removed.
    Naito.

    I have the exact same problems... Some other problems two.
    When I get a call and my correspondent quits the communication before I do, the phone freezes and I m forced to turn the phone off to deblock it.
    This is really annoying. Some times, just while navigating between menus the screen gets stuck between two menus.
    I purchased the phone 2 days ago and as you sed, its a great phone but not worth the pries, far from it.
    I m goanna bring it back to the shop to have it change to see if its my phone who has a problem or the entire N97 series.
    If that's the case I ll go for an other phone. I have always used Nokia phones, and was happy about them but this time I m am really disappointed.
    I ll let you guys know if I get these problems fixed or if it gets worst.

  • 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.

    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!

  • JUST got Nokia N97........issues = faulty?

    The widgets do not load

    The phone was restored via Nokia Software update, and now its not recognizing the USB plugged in
    When unlocking phone it doesnt recognise the button being pushed

  • Nokia n97 videos won't play!!!

    Whenever i try playin videos on my n97 the don't play. It just says trying to play partially and plays only the sound and no images??

    I`m having the same problems and more. It wont play video no matter what i encode it to. Whats the point of a phone that plays high def video but wont actually play high def video, nokia? Most down load films theses days are encoded in dvix ect so might it be a good idea to design your poxy flagship phone to play it.
    People dont want to mess about converting stuff just to find you can only listern to it. People just want to upload a movie and have done with it!
    The one time i have manage to convert a DVD that will play on my (cough) device i found the quality very poor.
    Oh and the software that comes with the phone? Was that meant as a joke, nokia? Everytime i open the app on two of my three pc`s it crashes. I cant sync music with it, it takes ages to upload stuff onto your phone and your lucky if it plays.
    The phone its self stinks! Its touch screen is slow and imprecise. Apps are slow to open, the screen scratches as soon as you get it out the box.
    Honestly, i`m bitterly disapointed with my N97. I`m stuck with the poxy thing on a 18 month contract but i will probaly lob it up the wall before that time!
    Sorry Nokia for this rant but i wish i had gone with the iphone instead.
    The N97 is trash

  • Nokia N97, can someone help me please

    Okay i've had my Nokia n97 for more than 6months now and its been working great except lately my facebook app wasn't working and i had to update it,
    so last night i backed up my files on my mobile and i connected it to the pc and updated it with the program that the mobile brings with a cd it was okay then i went back to restore my files and it said it had to restart so it turned off and i went to turn it on again and it stayed a blank screen with the nokia sign in the middle in blue (when you turn it on it that usually shows) but it stayed stuck there it doesn't go to pin code nor anything, and to turn it off i have to take the battery off,
    any ideas how to fix this or i have to go to the shop?

    Yep, if you could not use facebook on the webbrowser, it would likely be some issue with facebook (servers etc.)
    There a lots of posts on different ways to handle the full memory message.
    Fw update, clean privacydata in browser, change messagememory to E, or soft reset. Use the searchbar and see if you could find anything. Gotta go to bed now. The n97 is a buggy device, and many customers experience wierd behavior. Often it is caused by low memory on C, corrupted storage as memorycard or E, or bad apps. You could always try a reboot too.

    updating to new firmware depends on product code which represents your region of purchasing, language pack and if it's branded or not .... so NOKIA releases firmwares and release it for every product code depending on mentioned points if ur product code hasn't the v.21 update, that means that nokia didn't release it for your product code yet or your phone is branded with an operator and that means that you should go to the operator care center

  • Incoming Phone numbers not appearing on Nokia N97

    I was got my Nokia 97 today and I've noticed that when receiving calls, even from numbers I know are not private or blocked, the phone number doesn't appear on the screen or in the call log.   I have tried going through all the settings and everything I could think of to try and fix th problem but nothing would help. This is frustrating as when I recieve a call I have no idea who it is from, or who to call back!
    Any help at all with this problem would be much appreciated!!
    Thanks heaps!!
    God Bless you!

  • Cut, copy,and paste on nokia n97

    can someone please help me. I dont know how to cut, copy,and paste on my nokia n97
    6680,n70,n73,n80,n80ie,n82,n95,innov8,n85, n97, N8, lumia 920

    I had some difficulty locating this 3 line icon myself.
    Turns out that if you close the screen down and tap the input box on the web page you want to paste the text into, up pops an application (text entry I suppose, anyway it has a load of stuff, green tick top left, and then this magical 3 line icon, followed by what I assume is the predictive text input status, a keyboard icon, left/right arrow keys, backspace, and then your usual phone pad entry).  Tap the 3 line icon and the text you copied earlier is pasted into the text display area of this app.  Then hit the green tick and it gets pasted into the field you first double clicked on in the web page.
    I hope that helps? 
    BTW, doesn't matter what orientation the screen is in using this method, just that the screen is folded flat back on the phone to hide the qwerty keyboard.

  • Nokia N97 mini,

    I have a Nokia N97 mini. I know the screen is not easily breakable and mine is not, but I think it inner screen is mashed and needs replacement. It shows this blue ink in some places on the screen. How much as an estimate will the changing of the screen cost me?

    Best is to contact your local Nokia Care because the price will vary according to the region.. you may also ask them about their Service charges...You may find the NCC HERE ..

  • Nokia N97 software version 11.X.021 released

    Nokia N97 software version 11.X.021 released This software release includes significant improvements in the software stability, especially email, imaging, USB detection, widget stability and display transitions. To enable you to get the most out of your Nokia N97, the release also includes an Ovi store client. Further application updates will become available soon

    After update, the issue of "when receive a call and the device is key locked, when you pick the phone it still shows that somebody calling in the screen, even after hanging up". we should reboot the phone.
    I supposed this firmware fixed the problem, but I think my confiance to Nokia is decreasing

  • Crime of buying a Nokia N97

    I see that I'm not all alone who has issues with N97. This is the worst phone ever and guess what I have a Nokia 6630 from the time it was launched and it works better then N97.... My phone was with their repair team for almost a month as firmware issue, camera flash was constantly on despite switching the phone off (on connecting the battery it would start), the camera quality was soo bad and its settings never responded; you login to facebook and cannot logout, the phone gets hangs in between, the swipe doesnt work sometimes when you try to answer the call, while loading applications or widgets the screen goes black... I have set the main internet connection point to be my WLAN but sometimes it automatically switches to "Data Package" by the service provider which I have not made as an access point and clearly defined WLAN (lost all my credit due to this).... once back in the WLAN area the phone does not search and connect to it by default and the other net applications like news, weather, etc does not connect unless I reset the phone.
    Its been two months since I bought this phone with one month being with Nokia for repair work (infact they swapped the whole phone) but did not replace it... Yeah finally can someone tell me how to delete the email headers from the mailbox... it never deletes and hoped this would have been resolved by the new firmware as per Nokia service people...
    I have had HTC phones - my god what a phone it was and never had to these issues esp with WLAN as it used to automatically scan and update information..
    Exhausted and mentally tortured by Nokia N97 and time taken to repair the phone but still no difference.... should have gone for HTC Pro2
    P.S - Nokia please recall this stupid **bleep** machine of yours and replace it with a new one or refund customers back their money...

    "Many users of the N97 have been reporting various system based errors and bugs that have been plaguing the device since its release date. There are even entire forums dedicated to the bugs and problems of N97 users –a testament to how unstable the system is. The big blow came as both mobile carrier Vodafone UK and distributer Electronista have stopped offering the device to customers. Electronista now redirects buyers to the more stable N97 Mini and Vodafone no longer lists the device."
