Reformatting nokia phones

help me pls,, i just want to know the right procedure in reformatting nokia phones. i mean this,,, *#7370# ,,,
do i need to remove my sim card and mini SD card? someone who really know about this,,,pls explain it very well and for the sake of others also,,
are there more ways to reformat nokia phones aside from this *#7370# ?????

There are several levels of formatting. You never need to remove your sim or memory cards because these are not touched during the reset procedures.
Reset to factory defaults (*#7780#) : Restores settings but preserves user data (photos, 3rd party apps etc). This works in the same way as selecting it from the phones settings menu.
Full Reset (*#7370#) : This reformats completely the C: drive. All applications and files stored on this drive will be lost and clean default files will be rewritten.
The hard reset is more aggressive and has been know to solve some hardware issues such as non-functioning bluetooth. It's also the only method that may work if the phone cannot boot up.
Hard reset:
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
3. While holding these buttons, hold the power button for a second to switch on the phone.
4. Release when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
It may take a few attempts and very flexible fingers!

Accidentally reformatted my phone and lost all my ...

Hi,
I accidentally reformatted my phone and all my images and videos are gone. I'm sick about this.
Is there any way I can retrieve the pics and videos or are they gone forever?
Thank you.

Hi bobberta,
Welcome to Nokia discussions board!
Depending on the device you are using, there are a few ways you can try and retrieve the lost data.
If you use a memory card on your device, you can restore the data stored on it: go to Menu > Applications > Office > File Manager > Backup > Options > Restore.
Also, if you have used Nokia Suite on a computer to sync or back up your files, please connect the phone to your PC and go to Options > Restore and/or perform a sync.
If none of these options allow you to retreive your data, I advise you to regularly back up your device using Nokia Suite in case your data gets accidentally lost.
For more information or if you have any other questions, please feel free to post your queries.

I am having trouble transfering music and pics from my old Nokia phone to Iphone 4s

Why won't my iphone 4s recognize my old phone so that I can transfer pics and music through bluetooth? It just keeps telling me it is not paired with the device but I can't figure out how to do so. The Nokia phone recognizes the iphone just fine.

Connect you rdevice to your computer/iTunes. Go to the Photos tab. Choose to have no photos synced over and then 'Apply' the changes.

When will windows 8.1 be available for nokia phones

when will windows 8.1 be available for nokia phones?

I wish I had some way to give you hope but unfortunately you're definitely not the first person to ask this question. VZW has made it clear that they aren't in the customer service business so we now must take matter into our own hands. Write directly to the CEO.
You can contact Mr. Daniel S. Mead (CEO) by going to www.verizon.com/about/leader/contact/73.
Maybe if enough of us say something they'll try to at least pretend they appreciate our money.

How do I transfer contacts from my old Nokia phone to my new iPhone?

Yes there is,
Download and install Nokia Suite for your PC. After installation, go to "tools" in the top menu and click on "options". The Options window should open up. on the left side select "contacts" and then under "sync with contacts application", select "Windows Contacts". After this click on "ok".
Connect your Nokia C3-00 to the computer with Nokia Suite still open. Your phone will show up in the application. Move mouse cursor over the contacts square on the left of the application window, and then click "sync". Wait for the sync to finish. Disconnect the Nokia phone.
Download and install iTunes. Connect your iphone. from this application you will be given an option to import contacts from Windows contacts. This should give you all the contacts.

At last a nseries phone im truely happy with THE N82

You are all kidding about this right?
Really, you do all know it's ENTIRELY down to product placement - ie: paid for advertising - rather than any "cool" factor, don't you?
I just can't believe there are intelligent people out there who still don't know that. I mean: why would a high profile pop star or the producer of a multi-million dollar movie feature a (usually entirely irrelevant) piece of technology in their product for free when they could get hundreds of thousands of dollars to do it?
It's not even like it's subtle anymore: have you seen how much product placement Apple have bought in Californication? Every other scene has someone using a powerbook or an iPod or at least talking about it.
Favourite line from the last one I saw: "Do you know (some **bleep**py album)? I'll gift it to you on your iPod."
Talk about sledgehammering the references in .. guess they hadn't made their quota that week Message Edited by patc on 14-Nov-200703:37 PM

Gigaframe L81 doesn't play sound in videos shot by Nokia phone. Can Q81 do?

Hi All.
My parents have bought Gigaframe L81 photo frame.
My mother tried to use the photoframe to watch the videos shot by her Nokia phone. And the problem was that no sound was reproduced by the photoframe
As far as I know, newer Nokia phones shoot videos in the following format
Video: MPEG4 Video 640x480
Audio: AAC 48000Hz mono 768Kbps
When I look at the Gigaframe L80 & L81 features at the off. cite
http://www.toshiba.eu/photoframe/detailsl80.htm
I see that it is said to support only Audio: MP3
At the same time Gigaframe Q80 & Q81 claim to support more sound codecs:
http://www.toshiba.eu/photoframe/detailsq80.htm
Audio: MP3, AAC, OGG
So I have the following questions:
1) Are Q80 & Q81 actually more superior models than L80 & L81 ? My parents thought that L80 & L81 are better models, since they have a bigger screen. They thought that L80 & L81 should have more features. But it seems that Q80 & Q81 support more sound formats...
2) Does Q80 & Q81 actually support AAC & support AAC audio streams in MP4 video files ?
3) How can I know if Toshiba is going to add AAC support to L80 & L81 ? Or maybe my parents should sell their L81 and buy Q81 or something else ?
My parents are not going to use the software which comes on the CD to convert their videos, because first the software is too difficult for them, the other reason is that it takes time to convert the videos to formats supported by the frame and that means that all benefits from using a frame over a PC are gone...

Hello yura-v,
I am a Gigaframe L81 user also.
I asked the Toshiba Support Team, if there will be released a firmware update or something else.
They told me no. Toshiba is not going to add AAC support to L80 & L81 at the moment.
If Q80 & Q81 actually support AAC & support AAC audio streams in MP4 video files, I could not say sure, because I am only an owner of a Gigaframe L81.
I think the best way is, your parents should buy an Q80 or 81 and test this.
If this both doesn´t support the AAC streams they could give back the frame within 14 days.
If they support the AAC they can sell their L81 frame and keep the Q80 or Q81.
best regards

TV-Out feature in Nokia Phones

Hello,
I was about to buy Nokia N79 or Nokia 5800 Xpress Music, and came to know that the TV out feature has been removed from most of the Nokia phones except higher end ones.
I was in despair because this feature was really a important for me and made me shortlist aforesaid two devices that were in my budget.
I searched and found out that this is due to shortage of some hardware components....!!!!
So, I wanted to know that whether TV-Out function has permanently been removed or it will again be available when the necessare hardware components are available?????
Any idaes how much time should I need to wait for this feature to come back again???
..thanks n regards-----

HI That small sticker is the only hint to the problem, Nokia careline did not even know about the problem, we have been ripped off plain and simple. I will never support Nokia in my life again and know of quite a few people who will not either, It is disgusting to get an answer like the one below from such a big company.
Imagine the next car you buy and in an accident the airbags dont deploy because they were not fitted due to a power failure. or your spare wheel is missing or the radio does not work. And then oh sorry we put some stupid little sticker under the dashboard where you cant see it. Go to hell Nokia, I will support cheep chinese knockoffs and copies of your product rather than spend my money on your ^%$ again. I am sick and tired of being ripped off by big business.
What are people going to do if there phones need replacing due to damage/failure/theft etc. absolutely disgusting Nokia
Dear Lindsay,
Thank you for emailing Nokia Careline.
Due to a severe power-outage in our sub-supplier’s factory, we are
experiencing a shortage with a TV-out component in August, 2009. As a
result, this component shortage will affect a limited number of devices
during this manufacturing period.
We are currently looking into ways with which we can minimize the effect on
devices and ensure seamless deliveries. However, there is a possibility that
certain products in the Live and Connect categories will experience changes
in terms of functionality (TV-out not available) and sales package contents
(TV-out cable not included in variants that regularly would contain one)
during this manufacturing period. For the most part, the key features in
these devices are not related to the TV-out functionality.
We will inform consumers about the missing feature with a sticker on the
sales package and a leaflet inside the sales package. Individuals who wish
to ensure that their model supports TV-out feature should check the sales
package. Those without the sticker or leaflet will continue to offer the
feature. We expect that relevant sales packages delivered to the channel in
September will all have the feature.
Customer satisfaction and product quality are very important to Nokia and we
take all quality and customer satisfaction-related issues seriously.
Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact
the Nokia Careline on 08611-66-542, between 9am and 6pm (local time),
Monday - Saturday. For online assistance, please visit

Please make sure there shouldn't be any problem with any feature.
Please suggest me.
Your advice/reply would help me in buy the phone.
Thanks
Deepak

The 6233 is a great phone with the latest firmware installed but the original firmware is very buggy. You should check the firmware version currently installed on the phone before you buy by inserting the battery and pressing *#0000# on the phone. The phone will then display the installed firmware version. The original very buggy firmware is v. 3.70. I wouldn't buy a 6233 with that firmware unless you are prepared to immediately go to a Nokia Care Center to get the firmware upgraded which they will do for free. The latest firmware is 4.91. I had tons of problems with 3.70 but so far 4.91 has been fine. (Except for the display backlight timeout not being adjustable which is something intentional (and very stupid) that Nokia did.) I hope they get sued over it when it causes a motor vehicle accident.
Currently using 6300 & 6233 (backup)

Can I sync two Nokia phones with Ovi Suite?

I have 2 different Nokia phones. I'd like to save my data to my PC, so I've just downloaded and installed Ovi Suite 2.2.1.23.
When I connected the second phone successfully, there was a green link that said something like "Get tips on syncing several phones with Ovi Suite". However when I clicked there, nothing happened.
When I click "Help->Nokia Ovi Suite Help" on the toolbar, nothing happens, no help tips.
The first phone synced all 82 photos and Contacts and messages to Ovi Suite.
I created a new album with that phone's name, and dragged those pictures from "All" to the new album, to try & keep them organized.
When I connected the second phone all of the Contacts synced (there were a lot) and now they are mixed in with the contacts from the first phone. However the photos would not sync. Then a few photos synced, making a total of 156 shown in All (which included the 82 photos from the first phone). When I would click "Sync" nothing visible happened.
But I did see the photos from the second phone on the PC. I did drag them from the PC into the album created with the name of the second phone.
Now when I look at the photo album with the first phone's name, it says "You have no photos or videos in this album, Drag photos and videos to this album." Yikes! But they are still on my PC.
This is very confusing. I agree with the others, Nokia PC Suite worked well, Ovi Suite seems very confused.
Is any of this uploaded to my online Ovi account?
Thanks for your advice.

ronni333 & boing,
Somewhere on the nokia ovi website it says you need to use seperate windows logins. Have one login for work and use that when you use ovi to sync your work phone. Other login to sync your personal phone. I lost the link to that webpage, but that is about all it said.
ronni333 - I also had problem with ovi help, the link appeared to be empty. I was using Google Chrome to surf the net. Problem solved by using Internet Explorer instead.
Hope this info helps you guys.
Cheers,
chillimuncher
