  • 6680 reflashed by Nokia service centre..now wont p...

    I had my 6680 reflashed to put latest firmware on by a Nokia service centre in the West Midlands. When I picked the phone up they said they had had software problems and the flash had gone wrong. Now my phone wont power up at all. Before I send it back for a warranty replacement, is there anything I can try to get it back up and running ?

    I don't think there's anything you can do. IMO, they shouldn't have returned a device they knew they failed to update properly. You have to have it repaired or replaced by that or some other service center.

  • Connect a Nokia N73 to a PC in the year 2013?

    Hi!
    I have a Nokia N73 on my desk which keeps rebooting at random intervals. This used to be my phone but I gave it away to my brother. He has been using it for about a year without any problems. He did drop it once on the pavemen and the plastic screen protector got a crack. But the screen itself was not broken and it still worked. This was a long time ago. So I don't think it's anyhow related. But I'm letting you know anyway. It was only lately that it started rebooting itself, as if it has a mind of its own.
    Now, given that I am the previous owner of this phone I know its history. I know that the "power on power off" issue has been plaguing N73 users as early as 2007/2008, when this was only a 1 year old model. So this is not a new issue. But I have never experienced this issue with mine. I guess it was just a matter of time, a ticking bomb if you will, before the error manifests. Now I know what that looks like.
    So I'm thinking this is most probably a software/firmware issue. So I want to try to reset this thing and watch what happens, which brings me to the main problem here. Since this is an old model it's hard to do anything with this thing due to Nokias continued lack of support for old models.
    I installed Nokia Suite 3.8.48 on Windows 8.1. I then connected the phone with a USB cable. I chose "PC Suite" option on the phone. Then I got this stupid error.
    USB device not recognized
    So I thought that it was missing some drivers and that the Nokia Suite did not install it for me, for whatever the reason. So I googled it and found the Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver (7.1.182.0). I disconnected the phone, installed the driver, connected the phone again, and still the same error came up. I tried repairing the driver installation and it did not help.
    So what do I do now? Can I expect any help from Nokia with this issue? I am not asking for much. All I ask for is some bits of software so I can help myself. The least Nokia can do in my opinion is to host their previous software releases on their website. Yes, I mean the old PC Suite, Ovi Suite, Nokia Suite, etc. I don't ask them to continue supporting it and updating it if it's discontinued or deprecated software. And of course, since it's closed source it's impossible for other folks to continue the development. But the least they can do is host previous releases. I much rather download an EXE from Nokia than from some funny place like Banana Island or whatever...
    And what about those software updates? When you google "nokia software update" the first thing you find is the main page for the various flavors of Nokia software suites where you click on the type of device you have (Symbian, Windows, et. al.) and it takes you to the download link for the EXE for Nokia Suite (in case of Symbian). But there are never any download links for the actual phone firmware/software/OS upgrades. The software suite grabs the appropriate file or files and installs it automatically. But what if you need to do this sh** manually? Or what if you want to keep a deposit of previously released phone software/firmware? Obviously Nokia won't host old phone software indefinitely.
    And it's not like they do their best to make the new "PC SUITE, aka. OVI SUITE, aka NOKIA SUITE, aka "SOMETHING" SUITE, fully compatible with old phone models. So users with old Nokia products would have to use some of the old software tools, tools that Nokai no longer supports, nor hosts or links to.
    What if you want to downgrade from a current version to a previous version? I'm not sure the automatic software update even still works on these old handsets (e.g. Nokia N73, et. al.) and what do you do in that case? What if you just need to reflash the phone with the same firmware that's already onboard? The answer is: you won't be able to! The software suite will only check for new versions, and if no new versions are found (obviously, since it's an old product for which there is no more development) it won't present any firmware/software at all to be flashed to the phone. Great!... just f****** brilliant! Or not...
    The main reason why I need the Nokia Suite is obviously because I don't want to loose any data. I would have used it to create a full backup of the phone. So much for plan A, and I don't have a plan B. This totally sucks...
    So what's with the "Nokia Suite" anyway? What happened to the "Ovi Suite"? Last time I held a Nokia phone in my hands it was called Ovi Suite and it had replaced the "PC Suite". I'm guessing you guys are having trouble deciding on how to name your software?... The Nokia Suite looks a lot like the Ovi Suite to me...
    Can this thing do a full blown backup of the phone? The Nokia Suite? If not, I wont' waste my time with it. It doesn't allow me to click anywhere. I can't click on the View, Sync or Tools menus. So I can't explore its functionality. Not until I manage to connect a phone to it. This sucks... it reminds me of why I moved away from Nokia in the first place.
    Solved!

    Nokia Suite 3.8.48 is not compatible with Windows 8.1
    I installed Nokia Suite 3.8.48 on my old Windows Vista PC and it worked! So I conclude that the damn thing is not compatible with the latest re-incarnation of the Windows 8 system, namely 8.1. For whatever the reason it just didn't like my Windows 8.1 computer very much. It's clearly a compatibility issue on some level. It's a brand new computer by the way, it's a desktop PC, custom built, with a clean genuine install of WIndows 8.1. I installed it myself from the retail box (full version). No issues with it whatsoever, no software issues, BSOD issues... nothing... up until now. Installing the Nokia Suite software from the same installer file worked very well on my old Windows Vista computer. No need to install any additional drivers! It just worked! All device drivers installed properly when I connected the phone. And Microsoft wants to discontinue Vista in favor of Windows 8.1... I hate those muppets.
    I know I've read that Nokia Suite 3.8.48 is Windows 8 compatible, I think I read it in the FAQ, but there were no specifics about whether that means 8.0 only or 8.0 AND 8.1. So it's a guesswork! And my guess is that it's compatible with Windows 8.0 but not with Windows 8.1. Even though I know that the changes between them are slim, if any. But don't blame me for that, blame Microsoft! I'm sure Microsoft wishes that Windows 8.0 never had happened! Just like they are wishing that Windows Vista never had happened! It shows, by their decision to drop Windows Vista support on most recent Microsoft software products. Windows 7 will follow the same fate. I'm sure they just wish they could pull the switch on every previous OS version, starting from XP, through Vista, 7 and Windows 8, and make everyone upgrade to the retarded Windows 8.1.
    The worst thing is... Nokia has partnered with Microsoft... what good can possibly come out of that?... There's a rumor that Nokia is working on an Android phone, known as Normandy project, or AoL (Asha on Linux). Yeah right! That will probably happen in... oh well... maybe in 100 years or so. You're way too late to the Android party. Nokia shot itself in the head when they decided to push forward with the Symbian OS and later the MeeGo. Then they started flirting with Microsoft.
    I would hate to work at a company that has no clear vision of the future and no strong leadership. I pity you Nokia. What happened to you?... you used to be cool. I guess it's what happens to every company that refuses to adapt to changes and doesn't do it quick enough. You either swim or you sink. Nokia decided to sink. Not only did they sink, they sunk to Microsofts level of incompetence... I guess in a way... you guys deserve each other.

  • Nokia 6288 doesn't retain settings after reboot

    Hi, i've a problem with a Nokia 6288 that after each reboot
    does not retain settings regarding "Normal" profile and background. If i turn off the phone, when i turn it back on it reverts to blank backround and "nokia tune" ringtone and all other settings to default.
    I already tried to reset it to factory default but had no luck.
    Also tried reflashing firmware with nokia software updater but the problem still remains.
    There is a way for "hard resetting" it to factory default?
    Regards
    Luca

    A nokia care point can hard reset a series 40 phone, you cannot do it yourself. They will also be able to fix your problem.

  • Nokia Lumia 810 (T-Mobile) Experiencing Freezes Li...

    I got a new Nokia Lumia 810 almost a month ago, and I seem to be experiencing the same sort of freezes as the 820 and 920 owners. The first freeze occurred almost immediately after setup, the second the next day, and since then the freezes vary between once a week randomly to several times within a half hour pretty much if I want it to, meaning I can virtually prompt freezes by browsing the web and/or pulling up the keyboard. This morning, for instance, I got it to freeze about once every two to three minutes at will (note, however, I can only seem to do this in the morning, for whatever reason).
    I've updated my 810 to the latest firmware, uninstalled everything that can be uninstalled, removed all but my Microsoft Account, disabled Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC, and location services, performed hard resets, used no memory cards, disabled "Find My Phone", etcetera, etcetera, to no real avail. Returning or exchanging my 810 is not an option because I didn't buy it from an official channel, and from what I gathered from the seller this particular unit is a new exchange (it came factory-sealed), so there's already precedent for that not guaranteeing a fix.
    I'm not really mad about this, nor does this cause me to want to switch to another platform or anything like that (the grass is always greener, and my phone last round was an Android phone, so I know exactly how "green" it is). There is no "or else" for me so long as my 810 is otherwise functional (and it is), and I don't want to have to leave the WP platform again, so I sincerely hope there is a fix or at least an official acknowledgment coming soon.

    Just to update this thread, about a month ago I sent my 810 to Nokia to repair. Nokia apparently reflashed the firmware, and after determining all was good, sent it back to me in about a week. Great turnaround, by the way.
    Unfortunately, about a day after I got my phone back, it started freezing again. On the up side, it froze much less frequently than before (nowhere near once every few minutes), but after another freeze in the morning resulting in the alarm clock not going off, I figured I had enough dealing with this excellent but wholly unreliable phone. I was preparing to put it on eBay "as-is" and eating the loss before I stumbled on a forum thread... somewhere... suggesting that at least some of the freezing might be due to the Nokia charger. With a few other users in that thread reporting similar findings, and having nothing to lose myself, I plugged my phone into my computer to charge that night just to see if there was any truth to their findings.
    Now, I'm not claiming any conclusions here, but after two weeks of charging the 810 via anything other than the Nokia charger it came with, i.e. a Samsung charger, a car charger, my computer, etc., I have so far experienced zero freezes. I don't know how. I don't know why. This could all be a huge coincidence, and my phone could freeze within the next few minutes just to punk me. It doesn't even make sense to me, since the freezing occurred both on and off the Nokia charger. But for now... no freezes!

  • How can Nokia get away with it?!

    Words cannot express how angry I am today, Nokia are taking every opportunity to make sure I never buy one of their handsets EVER again.
    A few days ago I discovered the new v5 firmware was available for my N70, fantastic I thought, perhaps this will finally solve the problems I have with my phone, constantly resetting itself, not being able to enable SMS delivery reports, not being able to manually select a network, dropping calls when switching between 3G/2G, the list goes on..
    I call Phonezone in Newton Abbot, my nearest service center, and ask them if they have the new firmware for the N70, yes they say, are you sure its v5 you have I ask, yes they say. Great. So today I make the 60mile round-trip to Newton to have my phone upgraded. I hand my handset over and come back for it 45 minutes later, all seems to be OK, but it still hasn't fixed the SMS reports or network selection problem, then I think to check the firmware version, low-and-behold, they have simply reflashed it wih version 3.
    I head back to the shop, explain I already had version 3 and wanted version 5, the guy says he thought he had done that, and when I show him the version display on the handset he mumbles about some problem with 2 different versions of the generic software. I ask if he will put v5 on for me now, but he says he's now too busy, but he can do it if I leave my phone over the weekend, I can't be without my phone for that long and don't live in the area, so I say no, his only other alternative was for me to come back the next week.
    So to summarise, I went 60miles, spent £15 on fuel, £2 on parking and £3 on coffee while I waited to have my phone reflashed with exactly the same thing as it came with. I could have stayed at home and achieved the same by doing a hard-reset.
    Why is it Nokia persist to offer upgrades in this ridiculous manner? With my Sony Ericsson I could have sat down with a (free!) cup of coffee and done the upgrade online from the comfort of my chair in under 10 minutes. With Nokia I will have had to travel for 2 hours, 120 miles, at a cost of nearly £40 just to have a phone that is under warranty flashed with a firmware that may or may not fix my problems!
    Absolutely ridiculous. Get this sorted Nokia, you've already lost me as a future customer.

    It's not this single event, it's Nokia's whole after-sales support arrangement that has me annoyed.
    The support and repair system is completely decentralised, with seemingly random shops having Service Center status, which is why you end up with situations where big cities like Exeter don't have a single Nokia service shop but tiny towns like Newton Abbot do. This de-centralisation leads to a complete breakdown in policy enforcement and standards.
    The previous time I was getting the firmware upgraded I phoned round several service centres, one said they couldn't upgrade N70s without sending them away for 10 days, another said they would but they would not install the generic firmware for me (as I was on 3 at the time), another said they would swap the firmware over to generic but for £20, then final one I called said they would do it for free. These discrepancies becomes more evident in the actual service centres, some seem to be very professional, know exactly what they are talking about and what they are doing, others seem to know very little about the phones and make up policy on the spot.
    Two of the service centres I have visited have been very organised, given me a receipt for my phone, had me fill in proper Nokia staionary forms and generally been professional, the others I have visited have not given me a receipt for my phone, even on request, not asked me to fill in forms, and not really seemed to know what was happening.
    As for charges, I have been told on seperate occasions (sometimes by the SAME service centre) that firmware upgrades are:
    - free under warranty
    - free under warranty if there is problem with the handset
    - £10 under warranty, £20 if not
    - £20 regardless of warranty status.
    And as for changing firware variant some of the replies I've had:
    - we cannot change firmware variants, it is illegal
    - we can change the variant but it will cost you £20
    - we can change the variant for free as part of a normal upgrade
    What is the correct policy?! I would say to anyone who's service centre tries to charge them for an upgrade, just phone around, eventually you will find one that will do it for free!
    Then there is the attitude of the staff, as before, some are very nice and understand that performing firmware upgrades is part of their duty as service centres and they do it when you ask, as quickly as possible. Others seem to take the attitude that firmware upgrades are a 'favour' they are doing for you, that because you're not handing over any money they can make you wait or refuse to do it.
    Having been a Sony Ericsson user for many years this system just completely baffles me. SE have an expansive support website for every phone they make, with latest firmware, patches, new applications, tools, FAQq, Tips and Tricks and troubleshooting guides. All this can be done from the website, even the firmware upgrades. SE's ethos was very much one of allowing the owner of the phone to have access to the latest upgrades as and when they want. Nokia seem to keep firmware upgrades almost a secret, then make it hard to get them when the are available. Your average Nokia user, who doesn't use websites like this, has no idea that upgrades are even available.

  • Nokia N8 Belle does not show caller name

    I can't get my phone to show names for people that are calling, I know there are already loads of topics about this, but none of the suggestions could fix my problem.
    Keyfacts:
    - Nokia N8 with Chinese Firmware (Belle)
    - All contacts are synchronized with GMail via Exchange ActiveSync (Mail for Exchange)
    - All contacts are saved with proper international prefix (e.g. +44..., +36...)
    - It displays the number when someone calls, so not a network issue
    - Name resolving works for text messages (except once, but rebooting fixed it)
    - It works for calls when someone from another country is calling
    - There are duplicate numbers in my phone book, but it doesn't work with the non duplicate ones either
    - There are no numbers on the SIM and phone memory only is selected
    What I tried:
    - Reboot
    - Hard reset (the actual hard reset using the three buttons, not the code)
    - Reflashing
    It would be great if anyone has any ideas what to try next.

    i have got the same problem on my Nokia n8 after upgrading it from authorised Nokia centre

  • BUG : Cannot set Nokia Messaging as default client...

    Hi,
    Nokia Email  v.9.5.3.75 on Nokia E71 (firmware v300.21.012). 
    Mail for Exchange v2.09.158.
    I can select 'E-mail'  as default mailbox in 'messages > settings'. However when in Gallery and trying to send a picture from the list it opens Mail for Exchange client ! And when opening the picture .. and then trying to send .. it lets me choose the mailbox (that should happen in the list-view also !) .. but .. when i try to send via 'E-mail' (the default) nothing happens !
    Please fix a.s.a.p. since these are pretty basic functions if you ask me that should have been tested !

    I actually got this to work.  When I did the check for new firmware, the system told me I was up to date.  I reflashed the firmware anyway.  From a blank device, everything is integrated perfectly.
    Whe I go the new phone, I used the  backup and restore function of Nokia PC suit to restore settings to my phone.  When I did that (with up to date firmware) I had the problems mentioned above.  I suspect then that this is an issue with the restore function, although I have not bothered to isolate the issue as I now have a working phone.
    So what worked for me is:
    1) Run firmware update.  
    2) Firmware update tells me my phone is up to date and asks if I want to replace the firmware anyway.  I chose yes
    3) Reflash and lose all programs, data, themes, etc.
    4) Completely set up the phone from scratch
    5) Everything works beautifully, except for the 4 hours of my life I will never get back

  • Nokia E66 problem with calling

    HI! 
     It is less than two weeks from purchasing a brand new mobile phone - Nokia E66. Although it is a good device for a lot of things a modern men needs nowadays, it has some dificulties when it is ordered to call someone.
    It works fine for a day or two, but after some time calling a persone  from the adress book is impossible. Even if a number is displayed as an "unanswered call" and "yes" button is pressed everything from the screen dissapears. I am able to call someone only if I type a number manualy. Pressing the "yes" key works fine only if a number is typed manualy. Restarting the mobile phone also "repairs" the problem for a while.
    I have the neewest software installed on the phone. What to do next?

    i would consider reinstalling latest firmware and then using the code #2 from your home screen to finish the process. back up all your data and contacts if you don't have them on the sim card, remove the memory card when you do this and default code is 12345.
    1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
    Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list.
    2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone
    3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is dead proceed with reflash if not, turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
    re-flash - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons
    If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service.
    You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

  • Problem in nokia e5

    hi i hve purchased nokia e5 before one month..i hve update two times software bt there was some prob of conactivity in mail function..nokia care ppl formate C drive of phone, and many preloded software was removed..now they said it cant get back...pls guide me..Hardik Upadhyay...

    Formatting the phone should only be undertaken in in serious cases, don't use it as a general troubleshoot because this is indeed a possible consequence with many of hte latest models. You can have the phone fully reflashed by a Nokia service point, that would put back everything that comes with the phone when new.

  • Nokia 6233 - after update can`t use any Pic`s for ...

    Hallo Everybody!
    After Firmware Update to 5.10 i can`t use any pic for mms. I get only a white screen and the phone reboot.
    Before i update no problem with pics.
    The Update was an original from nokia with the nokia updater.
    Any Idea`s?

    Try the following:
    Try it without the memory card in using a file from phone memory.
    Factory reset the phone (you can find this in the settings menu).
    Run the updater again and see if it gives you the option to reinstall the update.
    If that fails to work then you need to visit a nokia care point and ask them to reflash the phones firmware.

  • Nokia N8 cannot get rid of "security code" after u...

    Please help me I am tearing my hair out trying to fix this!
    I have a Nokia N8 (sim lock to Vodafone)
    I have NEVER used a security code or set one on it.
    I upgraded to Belle and ever since then it asks me for "Security Code"
    I can enter ANY code including 1234  0000  12345 and anything else it always tells me CODE ERROR but then it lets me use the phone like normal.
    I can NOT do a factory reset from the menu as it asks me for code
    I CAN flash/downgrade it to scandinavian 11.5 firmware but that doesn't make the code request go away
    I downgraded it - still code request!
    I upgraded it back to Belle again using Nokia Suite - still code request!
    I can put it into TEST MODE but then can not get it to do full factory reset, which I am told might fix the issue.
    Please can someone tell me STEP BY STEP what I need to do to get rid of this annoying code request when I power the phone on
    I DID try hard reset power + camera + volume down + menu button this made other problems with apps and licence but did NOT fix the problem - luckily I managed to reflash to Belle and got my apps/licences back but still code problem
    Help please!

    Disable by: Settings - Phone -Phone Management-Security Settings-Phone and SIM Card: click NONE from the choices of (Phone Autolock period). This will disable the LOCK from setting itself. Keep the code you originally created handy as you will need it should you ever decide to reactivate the lock system.
    I found this information by searching for an hour, after reading numerous posts about Resetting, etc. Useless information since what we both wanted to do was turn the damn lock system off.
    Hope you can use this info. BTW... does your main camera work? Mine does not, and the phone also fails in cold weather by shutting itself off. ugh

  • Nokia 5220 WHITE SCREEN PROBLEM *Help plz*

    hello guys ... my phone's (5220) screen has gone White ... !! i have absolutely no idea what the problem is ! i took out the battery and put it back again .. but when i turn it on ..after the nokia logo the screen goes white again !! i cant do anything except for looking at the white screen...! the phone doesnt even turn off until you take out the battery !
    I tried to connect it to my PC (via data cable) but the phone does not get connected with the PC suite !!  PLZ HELP ME  !!

    Jimmyireland is right - anything that you could do yourself requires the phone to at least boot up properly, at the moment your phone is like PC with no Windows involved, it can't find its OS to start.
    The 5220 is a series 40 phone, there is facility for a forced reboot, it needs its software to be reflashed which is why you need the Nokia service point.

  • Nokia 1208 security code

    While i was using my Nokia 1208 last night, it spontaneously turned off. When i turned it back on and typed in my PIN, it requested a security code. The default 12345 wouldn t work and i have never changed the code. This is the 2nd time this has happened to me and the first time it was just impossible to fix it so i bought a new 1. Can some please help or post of you have had a similar problem! 

    if the default code is not 12345 the operator must have changed it try calling them
    try removing battery for ten minutes 1st then repeat the proccess if that fails call operator
    or try the following
    1. Get the phone reflashed.
    2. On some phones the reset function will also reset the code to 12345.
    You could try the second option but no guarantees it will work on your phone. Also, you may lose all your data if you reset the phone so remember to back it up before resetting.
    Always remember to backup your phone before performing resets as your data may be lost.
    First try these
    *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default
    *#7370# - Reformat your phone
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
