Nokia N97 Usb problems

 Hi, I own a Nokia N97.
I can't seem to connect my usb to my desktop. I've tried and tried, but my desktop doesn't sense it. My phone does. When I connect it to the computer, it gives me a choice of PC suite/Mass storage/Image Transfer/Media transfer. Which should I choose? I want to transfer my n97 images to my desktop. So which should I choose? I've tried all, none works. Please help me !

Hi VSinha
This probably happens because when you connect your phone with usb, you choose (or the phone automaticly chooses) the "Mass Storage" mode.
If that is correct then when you connect the phone to the pc , choose the "Pc Suite" mode and that might solve your problem.
I hope that helps , and please let me know
Phones I bought from 1st till now:
3210 / 3310 / 3410 / 6310 / 6600 / 6020 / N72 / E51 / X2-00 / 5310 xpress Music / E90 Communicator

    Hi Aurora,
    Thank you for your first post and a big welcome to the Nokia discussion forums. And no need to apologise for your English its perfectly fine! 
    What I would suggest is to try the following:
    Firstly remove the wireless connection from your phone and reset the router then try reconnecting. Also please clear all the cache from the web browser. 
    If this doesn't reset the phone by doing a soft reset by typing *#7780# (Please remember to back up your phone) and then try reconnecting. 
    If this doesn't work then please try a hard reset by typing *#7370# (Again please make sure you have backed up your phone!!).
    Just to mention if your phone asks for a security code then the default code 12345.
    Let me know if any of the above helps if not then please let me know and I shall endeavourer to think of some more potential troubleshooting we could try.

  • Nokia n97 FW problem

    I am very upset with my nokia n97, every since I updated the FW to version  12.0.026   my phone just keep freezing and the touch screen does not even work right. I can't even dial or answer my phone so **bleep** off. Anyone else have this issue ever since the update?

    I cannot install the v20 as the version I have is the most current one everytime I tried to update to see if v20 is available. Also I did a hard reset and wiped it clean and reinstall the current version that I have and still no luck it still acts up and freeze the phone. I went back to using my E71 instead, if I do not see the v20 update within the next few days I will send my phone in to get it repaired.

  • Nokia N97 keyboard problem

    i have nokia n97 if i tape w on keyboard is tape y and if i tape y is tape w. the keyboard is querty and language in the phone is french. any on help me please.

    A French phone would normally have the French AZERTY keyboard instead of QWERTY, and judging by what you say Sabsy, your software is mapped for AZERTY even though you have a QWERTY keyboard (or perhaps you have an AZERTY keyboard and the software mapping is for QWERTY).
    It sounds like there is an issue with the phone - it could be a factory error on a batch of phones, or it could be that the retailer has flashed a different software onto a phone from another country nto realising that this would have a serious impact on a device with a full keyboard - either way, take it back to the retailer and insist that the phone is put right or replaced.

  • N97 USB problems

    Hello all, I have abit of an annoying problem with my USB link from my n97 to my laptop. I use the nokia application installer from the supplied CD, but the program takes absolutely aaaages to read the contents of my phone... of course, the whole program is frozen too whilst reading my phone.
    I use the "pc suite" connection method, and have tried all 4 USB ports on my laptop, without any difference in the speed.
    It's pretty exhausting stuff because the stupid thing re-reads my phone's content after every application installed to phone, every application deleted from phone, and switching between mass memory and phone memory view... so simple jobs take a ridiculous amount of time and effort!
    If anyone has any suggestions to help speed the process up I would be very grateful!
    Oh, and thanks for readin'

    I had a look at OVI suite too, but could only really see options for transferring music, videos, maps (etc)... so I'm not sure how to transfer applications using this program...

  • Nokia N95 USB Problem

    I have a problem with my Nokia N95-1 considering the USB transfer to my Memory Card.
    I have a 1GB Kingston MicroSD, the latest software (V 20.0.015, 13-11-07, RM-159, Balkans Pack, updated from V13); PC Suite v6.85.14.1 on Windows XP Professional.
    While I was transfering some 300MB of music to the MicroSD, Explorer crashed and reported that data might have
    been lost during the transfer. I checked my phone and noticed "ghost" files on the memory card (free memory was reduced by 300MB, but the phone couldn't register new files). I retransfered the files, disconnected the phone and started the Music Player.
    Music Player said "Repairing corrupted database", hanged for a while and then added newly transfered files to the track list. But, when I tried to play a file, it refused to do it and said "Generalystem error". Phone became slow and impossible to operate, so I had to restart it. Same problem occured again, and similar things happened in File Explorer (shows nothing on the card), LCG Jukebox and LCG Xplore (get stucked when they access it or refuse to start files).
    After this, I removed the MicroSD - after this, everything on my N95 returned to normal.
    Since then, I've tried to change the USB Cable, USB Port, USB Transfer mode; tried to reformat my MicroSD many times with many formatting tools - Phone Memory Card Manager, Windows Formatter, KillDisk, Panasonic SDFormatter - but the result always remained the same: after I retransfer the files to the card, it becomes useless until I reformat it again.
    These programs didn't register any corruptions, but Windows Formatter and Panasonic SDFormatter would sometimes report that they were unable to reformat the card.
    I tried to insert the MicroSD into my MSI Mega538 MP3 player, reformat, and then transfer files to it. Again,
    transfer itself worked okay, but when I inserted the card into my N95, same problem occured. I tried to transfer
    some files to the Phone Memory via PC Suite - it worked great.
    I tried to insert my friend's 1GB Kingston MicroSD into the phone. It registered it perfectly - Music Player has
    refreshed the database, registered new files and played them without any problem. Same goes for the Gallery - some
    400 images and videos were recognized right away, and the phone itself worked fast and stable.
    When I bought my phone, I had no problems at all - files could be transfered normally, Music Player would simply
    refresh the database, and I could use the files easily - no problems, system errors, system hangs or restarts. But after that Explorer crash, I simply can't use the memory card any more.
    Sorry for long post, but I really need your help. Is the memory card corrupted, is it a hardware or software problem
    with my N95, or is it a Windows glitch?

    Hi ivanik,
    I strongly believe this is an issue with the card. Seeing that the phone works fine without it and works with a different card perfectly...
    Perhaps it is an issue with the data that your transfering to the card. It may not be compatible to the phone. Thus the phone lags and doesnt play the files.
    Try loading different data... perhaps one from a source...
    Try this once you have formatted your card...

  • Nokia MAPS USB problem...

    hi... it's me again with a different problem...
    these past few days, whenever i tried to open Maps, there's always this "message" popped up, saying : please disconnect USB to use Maps.
    i can understand if this "message" popped up when my C7 was connected via USB to my PC. but this also popped up when it was not connected via USB.
    what should i do so i can use Maps again ? the last time this happened, i had to *#7370# the phone...

    Thanks to Shrik for this very nice solution...
    I had to follow step 4 to 11...  !!! Including a reboot of my PC (while NokiaC7-00 connected)
    to convert the bad bad "lock-maps" content into a deleteable file ... !!!
    However.... i did this some weeks ago (2+ weeks) and yesterday i discovered the same prob. again when starting OVi Maps ....
    So, i did this nice procedure again..... and luckiliy it worked again..... (convert and remove lock_maps) but, i'm not convident for the future: i don't wanna end up doing this procedure each month.......
    Besides, since i have some little knowledge of computers/mobiles ans their filesystems it was very easy for me to solve this issue, however i can imagine that an "average user' could have lot's of issues following these steps.....
    So, my polite shout to Nokia is: PLEASE FIX THIS BAD FILE SYSTEM HABIT! ....
    PLEASE, PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE!!!!
    Kind Regards,
    B.

  • Nokia N97 Mini Problems

    I have had a few problems.
    The touchscreen doesn't respond, but the other buttons and the keyboard still work, and let me go through menus.
    When I'm typing a message, and use "*" to change a word, it keeps coming up with the Symbol Menu, even though I'm not holding it down.
    When I charge it, it stays on 2 bars, but if I turn it off and back on, it goes up to 6 bars.
    What does this sound like?

    where do i start? within 4 months of takeing contract out, had phone repaired 4 times( 2 weeks a time and no courtesy phone offered) after 4th attempt to fix my long list of faults they still couldnt,so they replaced with a new(more than likely refurbed)(main problem was the keyboard pealed apart!!quality phone there!!, that played up 2nd day i had it.Could not be botherd with paying my bill and having no phone constantly and the phone not being able to be fixed so i gave up and put up with it. My common everyday faults include unlock phone 50% it will unlock rest will restart phone or crash(battery out) does not charge randomly and thinks it is being charged when unplugged, crashes on nokia start up screen, lack of signal,randomly screen does not recognise commands at all, crashes when alarm goes off,backlight randomly works,so slow once running more than 1 app, ovi store crashes every time i use it(which is why i have never actually got to download anything) buzzing noise from screen, messages dont always send,security module error after using settings? nokia can not fault or fix this???, purple lines across screen, random crashes on photos using memory card,  Only reason why this phone is useable is because google has the 4 finger reset procedure, so many times it crashes and removing battery does not work needing the reset,u do loose all data but u can use the phone after, i could go on with more faults i had/have, but a life time nokia customer no more from me!  19 months of **** and nokia offer u £30 for the phone if u take out another contract? Insult to injury or what !!!

  • Nokia c3 usb problem

    Hey, I have a problem with my C3. When i connect my phone to the computer with the usb cable the computer doesn't recognise it, I tried with a 6303 and it works. Any ideas, do I need another usb cable ar something?

    Hi all,
    Sorry to hear you have had trouble connecting your devices to the PC. Have you both tried a hard reset which involves you to back up before hand, because it will delete all data from the device. Then by entering *#7370# into your device, when prompted for a passcode, the default is 12345. 
    Also, make sure you have the latest software by entering *#0000# and there will be an option for software update if it is available.
    Let us know how you get on after a reset.

  • Nokia n97 - connection problems

    Hi there,
    Last night my nokia went dead and after recharging it i wasnt able to use my email, facebook, youtube etc. I also cannot  use web browser. It looks like if there was no connection despite i am connected. I cannot even open those application. I click on them and there is no response.
    Please help!!
    Many thanks

    Not knowing what network you are with, I can't advice you on that. Personally I would just ring the support line for your network and get them to email it to me straight away. Some networks also have settings download options on their websites to have4 the setting automatically sms'ed to your phone.

  • Nokia N97 Updating Problem!

    I'm having trouble updating from v11 to v12. It says I have the update already but everytime I try to update it just says it disconnects and it doesn't update at all. It keeps telling me it failed and I don't understand what's wrong -_-

    Try using the new Beta Labs software updater. You can download it here
    http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-software-updater/download_and_installation
    Worked fine for me, Ovi Suite was always giving me the Error Code 12017.
