PR1.3 messed whole phone up! SMS, MicroB etc.

Yesterday, I updated my N900 to PR1.3, using the Nokia Software Updater as I could not update it OTA (the phone didn't even show any updates in the Program Manager). It finished updating, I booted it & at first glance, everything seemed okay. So I checked out whether there was anything new to find. Opening an SMS, I find that it only shows me a black screen. I mean, I can still send and receive SMS though I cannot open them. It's just a plain black screen with the small textbox at the bottom. So I was going to check out what's up on Facebook. I opened the browser, connected to the WiFi Network and entered the URL. After pressing Enter... absolutely nothing happened. It just loads and loads and loads - I can't even access websites that I saved on my phone. It's like it cannot read HTML files, I'm not sure. Apart from that, I can't open MicroB's options window nor open a new window.
And last but not least; the battery now drains soooo quickly. After about 5 hours, the powerlevel runs from 100 to 0%.
I tried reinstalling the software but the problem persists. I don't know what to do now & I'd be more than happy if anyone could give me some advice.
Thank you in advance,
Patrick
Solved!

Never ever ever downgrade. Upgrading to newer software ofte3 upgrades the firmware in the other chips on your phone, e.g gps, radio etc. Downgrading then to a a previous software may introduce incompatibility errors since you will have3old software trying to interact with more recent firmware.
My guess is that you are only flashing the PR1.3 and not the emmc vanilla. which means the app or corrupt file causing issues is still there. Do a full reflash including the emmc vanilla to restore your phone to factory condition and I am almost convinced your issues will disappear.

What is reset statistics in cecullar data settings? Will it mess up your whole phone ?

What is "reset statistics" in settings un the cecullar data category? Will it reset your whole phone?

No, it will not reset the entire phone. It will reset your cellular statistics, such as how much data you have used since the last reset, how much call time you have, and the individual app statistics that are showing with all of the apps you see in the list, as well as the system services. I use it all of the time. It will have no affect on your data or phone content.

I just recieved a new Iphone 4 ysterday, and am trying to install some apps but every time I try it says it failed to sync is it a messed up phone or a itunes problem?

Either the new Itunes is a horrible update or apple sent me a messed up phone, either way I have 2 problems with my new phone and the new Itunes. First I cannot install apps, after almost 30 times trying with restarts unplugs and major frustration building. Second when I first enter Itunes the bar at the pottom shows that I have ample storage room left on mu Iphone but when I click on the apps tab it says I have 2.3mb free what is going on?

As this is not my first Iphone nor my first Itunes device that really doesnt help me. I'm well aware of how to sync, and do pretty much anything Itunes allows, and with the knowledge I have aquired form the years of using Itunes am not very happy with the new Itunes. My problem still persists unable to sync, and storage still showing less room than actual. Thanks for the try though. I'm going to attempt to uninstall again and hopefully it works.

My iPhone 5 keeps freezing when I connect to wifi, not just freeze the wifi, but freezes the whole phone and have to hold home and lock button. Locks up completely and instantly when I turn on wifi and connect. Solutions?

1. If you are really on iOS 7.1, you may wish to try upgrading to 8.1.2 which is the latest (basing this on your signature).
2. If updating the phone doesn't help, is this only when you connect to a specific wifi network? Or all wifi networks (including public with no password)? If it is ALL wifi networks, you may have a hardware problem. Genius bar would be the next step.

All my applications dissapeared (Including Phone and SMS)

I clicked on the App Store to look for a new app and it froze. As usual I forced a reboot. When it turned back on, all of my applications were gone. Everything. Even the Phone and SMS. The only thing that was there were the Web Clips I had saved which were on 3 separate pages.
Can someone tell me what to do, i'll assume I need to do a restore.

Brandon Flittner,
I would restore the iPhone, setting it up as a new phone.

I don't know what I did but my whole phone book is empty. ?

I don't know what I did but my whole phone book is empty. ?

Hi. I'm new to the iPhone, but I have had iPods for 5 years or so. I don't know if it works the same, but here's what I know from my iPod experience.
Each iPod is associated with a particular iTunes account. If you plug your device into your computer, it should see your iTunes account and do what ever you have set your iTunes to do when it sees your device (mine is set to sync automatically). If you plug into a different computer, it asks if you want to sync to that iTunes, and if you say yes, it will replace your content with what is in the other iTunes account.
Still, you say it was your own computer that did this to you, so I'm a bit stumped. It sounds like when you had the iPhone 4 you had different content than when you got your iPhone 5. What was the difference? Songs, contacts, photos, apps, etc.? Do you still have the content of your iPhone 5 on your computer? I have only managed my iPhone with my computer, with the exception of downloading a few apps directly, but those apps get placed on my computer when I sync, so I was under the impression that other things that go directly to your phone would also sync, but maybe that's wrong on my part.
You might want to open iTunes on your computer and go to Store>View My Account to make sure you have the correct log-in. Could it be that you made a new Apple ID with the new phone, and your computer is still logged in with your old one?
Please post back if you find a solution, or if you have any new info.

Photo Album app and Video viewing crashes the whole phone

Hi.
Not sure whether there is already another forum for this?
I am running android 4.3.
I have found that when I go into my photo album and scroll right the way down to the bottom of the page, the pictures stop showing a thumbnail and instead all I am shown are blacked out squares. When I then scroll to the top of the page the thumbnails that were previously there then turn black too. This then has the effect of crashing the whole phone. What I mean by this is that it becomes unresponsive, the back and home buttons do not work and I am then shown a barrage of "Album is not working" or "Google+ is not working" or "system is not working" messages..
This is also the case when I am attempting to view videos. The phone will play some videos but then all of a sudden it will begin to become unresponsive in the same way as I have mentioned before.
When the phone has become unresponsive, the screen times out and I am unable to access my phone again for a good few minutes. When I can eventually access the phone, I have found the same sort of messages and unresponsiveness will occur again when I enter these apps or try to view videos through the movies app or another video viewing app and I am forced to restart the phone.
The issue with album app occurs every time I try to access the photos at the very bottom of the page. The issue with the videos appears to be more temperamental and will occur every so often and through either the movies app or when viewing videos through alternate sources such as facebook.
I have only recently bought the Z1 and I have to say I am incredibly disappointed by the device so far!
Can anyone offer any sort of guidance or tips on what I should do?
Thanks!
Gurpal

HT1296 How do I reset my whole phone so I have to set it up all over again?

I got a new iPhone because my old one broke. I backed it up before it broke though and when I signed in to iCloud on my new phone it told me I couldn't back it up because my new iPhone wasn't on ios7 and my old one was. So I had to set it up as a whole new phone and I don't have my pictures or anything but when I go to iCloud it shows me I have the back up from my previous phone but I don't know how to down load it? Should I rest my whole phone so I can use the back up in the set up screen and if I should how do I reset the whole phone?

Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
Then set the phone up from your backup on iCloud

My phone crashed while away. apple backed the phone on a friends comp (pic/MMS/SMS/contacts). When I get home and use my comp backup to add music, etc will I lose SMS/pic, etc? THANKS!!!

Password Protecting areas, but not whole phone?

is it possible to just password protect, say "Notes" ? Say, i wanted to store a bunch of password information in there, and would like to have it password protected from anyone else to see. I know there is a password function for the whole phone, but i would like it so i don't have to input a password everytime i want to make a phone call. I doubt this is possible, but there is no harm in asking

Not at this time...but..

I have tried everything possible. tried resetting my network settings and even the whole phone but my phone wouldn't connect to my wifi at home but will connect to other wifi's when i'm out. my sisters both have the same iphone and theirs work perfectly.

My iPhone wouldn't connect to my wifi at home but connects to others when i go out. i have tried resetting my whole phone and network settings but still wouldn't work. Everyone in my house has an iPhone and theirs work perfectly. I need help. it randomly started working yesterday after not connecting for 4 days and suddenly it stopped working again today

The two things to try first are renewing your network lease, forgetting the network and if that doesn't work to reset all networks. You might have tried one of these but I'll repeat the steps just to make sure.
Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the blue arrow to the right of your network name > Renew Lease
If that doesn't work then
Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the blue arrow to the right of your network name > Forget this Network
If that doesn't work
Settings > General > Networks > Reset All Networks > then reset your iPhone by
Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
I hope one of these will help.

Yosemite Phone call / SMS on older Mac's

So does phone call and SMS still work on older Macs that can run Yosemite? even if they have 2.0 bluetooth. Looking to buy a 2010 Pro but wanted to see if those items worked or not.

Phone Calls / SMS Relay works on any Mac that can run Yosemite. See: Continuity: Phone Calls, SMS Relay, Handoff, and Instant Hotspot.

I updated my 4S phone to IOS 7.1.2 and lost my wi-fi. The wi-fi is on, but can't find ANY networks. I have been through all the steps, from turning the phone on and off, resetting the network settings, resetting the whole phone, redownloading 7.1.2 and lastly going to the Apple store for help. They tried all the exact same steps I did, took the phone apart and looked at and said it is in "pristine" condition. They have no idea why it isn't working, but they could offer to sell me another phone. This is extremely annoying! They claim it has nothing to do with the update to 7.1.2, but that is when I lost the wi-fi, so it has to be related!

My 4s i-phone which is 2 years old cannot find any wi-fi networks not even my home network... I had the same problem two months ago but i turned off the i-phone for 8 hours and then it was okay... Now it happened again.... I tried to restart the modem but whilst my laptop is connected regularly, my phone still cannot find any wi-fi networks... I restart the i-phone, i reset it, i chose reset network settings, reset all settings, i turned it off for a whole day in case it was overloaded, i turned on the airplane mode and turned it off again, i put it into the freezer for 10 minutes within a zipped bag but 3 days now and i still cannot be connected to my home wifi... I went to the technician today and he told me that it means that wi-fi is broken and that i need to change it with a charge of 70 euro but i have to give my phone for 10 working days so as to be fixed... I am so frustrated and i don't know if i want to give 70 euro for wifi since i don't know if it would make the same problems again...

My iphone 3GS battery exploded, and made the whole phone bloated.

My iphone 3GS battery exploded, and made the whole phone bloated. I contact my local apple support and they said it is a normal case when battery is used for more than one year. Where else can I can some reasonable explanations and solution from apple about my phone. My phone cannot be used, and I have lost alot of valuable data and photos. Can I recover them? What can I do now?

If you've been using your phone as recommended, you've been syncing your data to your computer frequently, and importing any photos taken by the iPhone to your computer (or using photostream). If you havent' been doing this, then you've no one to blame for any data loss and any phone, which can be damaged, dropped, stolen or otherwixe become inoperable was NEVER meant to be a storage device.
As far as your battery is concern, is is NOT normal for the battery to "explode" after a year. Contact an authorized Apple service provider or Apple itself to see what your replacement options are.
