SWAP Phone problem

My N8 had to be repaired but they gave me a new one (1 year ago) under guarantee, now that Belle rolled out I discovered that the product code is 059B6D7. Which I figured out was a swap-phone through these boards.
Now I contacted my carrier Telenor, they said I needed to contact Nokia Support, which I did. Calling them left me with the following reply "Be patient!" in some kind rude tone, sounding like he had been asked many times that day questions about Belle. I don't blame him.
I called again to see if I could get hold of another person, he was a bit more helpful but still tried to get me to update through Nokia Suite even when I explained gently to him that it was a swap-phone that shouldn't even be out in public. But left me with this: "Contact a Nokia Care point." well okay I said.
Problem is, I'm Norway. There is no Nokia Care Points.

Dudebroman, i understand your pain. I too have a "swap" code phone after I had to have its  motherboard replaced because the xenon flash just "burned out" and the camera got real dark and couldn't shoot decent photos not even in broad daylight. I found out now that they gave me a motherboard that had the 059B288 SWAP code.  I'm actually lucky that there are quite many nokia "care" centers in my country (Romania), but I still had to walk a few hours through the 1m snow to get to one. I told them if they can install Belle on my phone and even change this damn code so I don't have to return to them EVERY time I have to update or reinstall the OS after I format the phone. They told me that they can't change the code because it's the motherboard code that can't be changed no matter what and that they'll try to update the phone.
I really have no idea what's the use of all this that's going on. I thought that it may be so that they combat counterfeiting but then I thought that those codes are all coming from motherboards that Nokia themselves produced, so why don't enable updates for all of them? I hope they do, eventually, if not, someone would probably find a way to crack that code and let you change it. I saw, on the internet, programs that are supposed to change the product ID of the motherboard to whatever you choose, people say it works for lots of phones but not for N8 yet.

  • My phone problem

    My Phone Problem
    In April 2013 I signed 2 year with me and my wife.
    I picked an HTC android phone that they had offered when
    you sign up for I think $50-100.
    In November I accidentally cracked the screen. I went to the
    local store where I bought the plan and they checked my account and saw that I
    had insurance. Then they made sure I did not enter the pool of people being
    helped in the store and gave me a pamphlet and said to call this number and
    they will help you. I felt a little pawned off but thought ok this is how its
    done so lets call them and they supposidly overnight you a new phone after you
    pay $100. I'm not even gonna go into the paying $100, my problem was worse
    here, the $100 was nothing.
    I went home and called the number but it would not ever let
    you talk to anyone and it kept saying to do it online. So I filled out the
    claim online.  I got the new phone right
    away but it would not hold a charge. I tried the new charger it came with, the
    old charger, then I switched batteries from the old phone and it still would
    not hold a charge. I could charge the battery in the old phone and put the
    battery in the new phone and it would drain right away. So I look at a few
    threads and there seems to be an issue with this phone and something about the
    charging port. So I go back to the store and they listen to me and use their
    charger/tester on the phone and say yes we agree it is not charging. They said
    I have to wait the two years to get the upgrade or they could finance me(make
    payments) for a new one. I politely explained I don't think I should have to
    pay $500 for a new phone because I happened to pick a crappy one that you
    offered in your store. Then they told me to call the insurance number again and
    escorted me to the door!
    So I call the number again and they run you around on all
    kinds of automated questions and make you give them numbers off of the phone
    and after about an hour I got to talk to someone. He then very procedurally
    made me plug the phone in the charge and tell him if the charge light and the
    meter in the menus says its charging. I explained yes, but that's the problem
    it looks like it's charging and it actually is not charging cause the battery
    power decreases. I told him I went to the local store to confirm this and they
    agreed. He then told me I would have to leave it on the charger for a couple of
    hours at least before using it and that's all he can do and to call back in a
    few hours if it does not work. What do you do when the store you went to does
    not want anything to do with your problem and the insurance service guy won't
    listen? My last effort was to call verizon and tell them the story and if they
    cannot help me fix this situation I'm leaving. They lady was nice and said she
    was going to put me on with the insurance company again and I thought oh great,
    I could have done this. But the insurance person did not take me through any
    tests or questions they just set up the shipment of another phone.
    Not to mention that while all this was going on I was trying
    to use the old cracked phone to charge the battery then take it out and put in
    the new broken phone that would not charge and used up the battery quickly.
    A few things out of all this....
    I have a bad taste in my mouth in general regarding
    Verizon and service. Really? Upgrading my phone a little earlier is that big of
    a deal? I pay this company $180 a month for me and my wife. I was millimeters
    away from going to ATT and saying SeeYa at whatever costs.
    That local verizon store is evil, is that how everyone
    elses service is at the local store? Let me know.
    That Asurion insurance service that you pay $5 or 6 a
    month for is a fricken joke.
    The whole experience was bad and I cannot wait til my
    contract is up or until I have another problem, cause I'm outta there.

    This is my point, the overall degradation and acceptance of poorer and poorer customer service.
    Yes I broke my phone. But listen, I thought there was a good chance I might break my phone in a couple of years, I'm a clutz! But that is why I bought insurance and have paid for it every month to Verizon!
    But when I went to the Verizon store I was basically pushed out and one time just about walked out. And I am a very non confrontational person, I acted completely professionally, they just did not want to help me. Their attitude towards anyone that has insurance, IS ALREADY A VERIZON CUSTOMER, and has a phone problem is to push them on, and ask for "NEXT". Because they know I am locked in a contract.
    Take a look at society and how people are doing business these days, it is so self service, they don't even want to deal with you, they give you a website. Or in this case a phone number which then referred me to a website.
    People we are paying good hard earned money for these services and I just think we are falling into the thinking of the masses and "that's how it is so accept it" in this self serve society.
    Yes, Asurion initially did not handle this well, and I indicated this on their serve.
    But My main complaint is the overall customer service, or lack their of, with my Carrier who I signed up for this insurance with and whom I pay dearly.
    I want people to know so maybe they can make an informed decision next time they need to.

  • Swapping Phones on Lines with Edge?

    Will swapping phones on family share lines be allowed with the Verizon Edge program and if so how will it work. For example currently on a 2 line share plan, let's say line 1 was eligible for an upgrade but line 2 a few months away. Line would could upgrade and then swap the phone to line 2 but line 1 would have the new 2 year contract and 2 year upgrade date. Will this work on the Edge Plan? So using the same example, if I opted into the Edge plan on line 1, could I then swap that phone to line 2? The only issue I can think of is after 6 months if you want to upgrade as long as 50% of that phone is paid off, we would probably have to swap that phone back to that line since we have to hand in the phone when upgrading to a new phone. Hopefully this makes sense and can someone from Verizon provide insight on this and if it is allowed and will it work?

        What a great question! Although this wasn't listed in the Frequently Asked Questions section http://support.verizonwireless.com/support/faqs/Equipment/vz-edge.html
    You can only switch the phone to another mobile device number as long as the other line is on the same account.

  • I'm having problems with facebook notifications.  The sound doesn't work but shows up in banner.  Any suggestions?  I've tried everything but restoring.  Is it a phone problem or an app problem?

    I am having a problem with facebook notifications.  The sound doesn't work but appears as a banner.  I've tried everything but restoring the phone.  Is this a phone problem or an app problem?  Has anybody experienced this problem and were they able to correct it? 

    1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
    thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
    which will correct the problem...

    2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
    minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
    accurate.
    3) This?
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
    point
    4) Restore the iPod
    5) Try these...
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
    Up

    I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
    posted for each one.

    I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

  • Is there a chance to update my swap phone nokia n8...

    /t5/Software-Updates/Nokia-Belle-availability-information/m-p/1302189#M110671

    Sir
    with due respect I like to inform u that You Nokia supplied so many manufacturer defective phone that so many SWAP code Belle update request is here, Nokia flooded the market with so many defective phone.
    My N8 was replaced or repaired after 23 days and no compensation for 23 days. And now I have to go to NCP just to update to Belle and pay USD 40 to them (as my warranty is over).......  thats not right as others get it free by using Nokia Suite.

  • Nokia 3100 phone problem

    Hello. It was at least a week back when my mobile suddenly stopped responding, it's shut down permanently. When I had luck and entered my PIN code(and the mobile didnt crash), when I tried to make any entry into it ( such as numbers, sms's etc.), it crashed. Once I have written a short sms, but that's it.
    Now the mobile won't even power on anymore. And if it does, I enter like 2 PIN numbers and that's it. The battery appears to be charged.
    I dunno. People tell me it's because it's old, some suggest it has been frozen due to the weather.
    Model: Nokia 3100
    Age : 2 years
    Battery: BR-5C 3.5V Li-ion
    Any problems like these in past?: Nope
    Any ''hardware tweaking''?: No!!
    I was commonly using it for 2 years, I really don't know what is going on.
    I bought a new battery today -
    (BR-5C). Inserted it in and turned on, nothing. So I plugged the phone into a recharger, after 10 mins it beeped and started recharging.
    So I turned on the phone again, and the same problem occurred - ''Insert PIN code'' , after pressing a button or two the phone won't respond anymore and shut itself down after good 10 seconds. It turned randomly off and on, too :/
    It'll be great if you could help.

    have u stored too many ringtones,wallpapers etc in ur Gallery?and is there is only little free phone memory?if yes then that's the reason for ur phones problem(i faced the same problem when i was Nokia 3120 user).........if this is not the case then i think that it is a software issue,go to Nokia Care they will fix it up 4 u....good luck.

  • IPhone 6 upgrade question - swapping phones?

    Have an iPhone 5 with my line being eligible for upgrade, but want to trade in my husband's 4S (not eligible for upgrade until 11/14). Is this possible? Do we need to swap phones before I do this?

    Hmmm? Interesting dilema - I see your concern.
    Here is the statement/question regarding the trade-in directly from the Vzn website. The terms say you can trade in ANY iphone from any carrier - so it doesn't have to be the phone that is being upgraded.
    Are you purchasing a new Apple iPhone 6 or Apple iPhone 6 Plus with Verizon Wireless and submitting a trade-in request for an iPhone (4, 4S, 5, 5C, 5S) that is in good working condition?

  • Swapping phone numbers within plan

    I have the Family Plan with four phones. We'd like to swap phone numbers between two of the phones, one is plain cell phone (no data plan) the other is a smart phone (with data plan). Since we'd have to switch the types of plans with the phone numbers, is there a fee to do this? Are there other options? Thanks!

        Hello aaamadre,
    Thanks for posting. While there are no additional fees for swapping devices between two of your lines there is something to keep in mind. If you currently have a Smartphone with unlimited data and you'll be activating this device on another line that currently does not have the unlimited data plan you will have to select a current data plan on that line. Feel free to visit this link for current data plans: http://bit.ly/nYhzCD
    You can also log in to My Verizon http://bit.ly/2jrhyT to swap devices between your lines. Let us know if you have any additional questions.

  • TS3694 Swapped phone with wife had "searching" error then get 1669 on restore.

    Bought wife a 5S for Xmas - She took backup to itunes of old 5 & restored to 5S then swapped sim from 5 to 5S - was working fine for about a week now phone sits at "Searching" and wont make/take calls.
    I put new sim into her old phone, restored my last backup (of my iphone 4) onto it and it was fine until the same day her phone stopped working now I get "searching".
    So I performed a factory reset & now get the dreaded 1669 error on updating firmware and phone is stuck in reset loop.
    So I put sim back into 4 and it works fine.
    Only possible problem is we both forgot to delete the phones from icloud "find my phone" when we swapped sims - which I've now done on the 4 but obviously she can't on the 5 as its stuck.
    So is this a IOS/icloud find my phone security bug or are both phones broken?
    BTW both phones worked fine until 02-JAN-2014.

    No joy...
    I had already tried "recovery mode" restore to get iphone 5 working, just get 1669 after "updating firmware" status message (with progress bar 3/4 across).
    Tried DFU method 1 at work this afternoon and get same message "1669" but that was using iTunes V 11.1.3.8
    Due to work's Internet proxy I can't test method 2 until I get home as I can't download any software at work.
    Last night we both logged into iCloud and deleted all the phones stored in there (as wife's phone wouldn't let her de-register on the 5S even though she had never registered it in the first place).
    This has sorted the problem I had on the 4 where I couldn't turn off "find my phone" - I can now register & de-register the iphone 4 from the phone.
    The wife can also register & de-register the 5S from the phone too now but it still wont make any calls.
    Going to the local apple store tonight to see if we can get any help.
    This smacks of an IOS 7.0.4 + a "find-my-phone" authorisation issue which blocked my initial restore thinking the phone was owned by someone else and leaving it in an unusable state.
    I'll post an update later.

  • Phone problems after upgrade from 8.5 to 9.0

    Hi everyone,
    I upgraded our UCCX cluster last week from 8.5 to 9.0, and ever since then I've been getting reports of delays when answering a call (up to ~10 seconds). I also have one user that reports not being able to hangup at the end of a call (has to wait for the customer to terminate the call). Any ideas?
    CUCM Version: 9.1.1.20000-5
    UCCX Version: 9.0.2.11001-24
    Also, I have ran the JTAPI resync to ensure that wasn't the issue.

    Thanks for the input guys, but it ended up being a weird problem resulting from extension mobility. When I upgraded the cluster, I forgot to deactivate extension mobility, and this apparently confused CUCM. Our agents use extension mobility in order to allow for moving between physical phones and IP communicator, and the CDA records showed call transfers from the CCX being routed through the subscriber (which is at a remote WAN site) before reaching the phones using extension mobility. Deactivating the service on the entire cluster, rebooting the cluster, and then reactivating the service fixed the issue.

  • How can I swap phone numbers between Verizon and T-Mobile phones?

    I have Verizon and T-Mobile phones. My wife uses the T-mobile phone and I the Verzion phone. I was given a GSM iPhone 5 that I want to use on the T-mobile account, so I want to move the Verzion phone number to the T-Mobile phone and the T-Mobile number to the Verzion phone. I do not want to have to inform all our friends about the number swap. I also would like to maintain phones on different networks for reliability and connectivity assurance.
    I called the Verizon wireless number and the person couldn't help me. The best I can figure out is to give up on Verizon and move the Verizon phone number to a new T-mobile account.
    Any ideas?

    They are both 4g phones correct?  All verizon phones come unlocked.  If the verizon phone works with tmobile all you do is take the sim card out and stick it in the phone.   however when you do this it is going to erase everything on the phone so make sure you back it up before swaping sim.  As far as using the tmobile phone with verizon you would need to ask tmobile if the phone is unlocked

  • Swap phone numbers between two different accounts.

    I currently have two phone plans and two phones. One is on my mother's account and the other is a new phone I just started on my Fiance's account. They are completely separate from each other. My mother has a plan she own's and my fiance has a plan she owns.
    My question is; is it possible to swap numbers between the 2 phones? I want the number from my old phone that is on my mother's plan to be on my new phone that I just got. My mother plans on letting the other phone run out of contract and cancelling the line. I know I can swap the sim cards, but that would put my new phone on the wrong plan.

    Why didn't you perform an Assumption of Liability (AOL) to transfer your original line from your mother's account to your fiancé's account?
