Three UK and nokia e71

I just recently upgraded with three from my n95 to a shiny new e71 and have the same problem other three users have which is that we cant update from v.100.07.76
I contacted three and they said they cant give a timeframe to the availability of an update and am wondering if there is any way of convincing them topull their finger out and make an update available as i am reading all the good things of the update and they are unavailable to me.

It could be a fault with the battery, but as the last poster says it is not normal.
I would take it back to three immediately and get them to try a new battery first. If its a few days old, I'd certainly protest for a new handset if it is faulty rather than have them "repair" it.
Shunts..
I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black

WH-700, AD 52 adapter and Nokia E71...... help!

Hi folks,
I have had no end of trouble trying to get a headset I am happy with. finally on a recomendation frmo these boards bought an OEM WH-700...
And I love it...
One problem, I have an E71, which has a 2.5mm Nokia AV jack. Now the headset comes bundled with an AD 52 adapter. Trouble is this adapter sticks out horizontally from the phone, meaning whenever I walk it comes out. Most frustrating and it looks like it will bend and break.
I also have an AD 50 adapter which does not come straight out but is a different design and headphones hit in nicely. But it is no a 4-pole so does not work with the headset.
Is there a 4 pole nokia OEM 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter that is in the shape of the AD 50 but does what an AD 52 does?
Help

Hello there Actually I had the same problem with my Nokia 6120 Classic. Having searched market for a day finally I found (Nokia AD-56) and (Nokia AD-61) which can be connected directly to your phone with no adaptor. With them use an ordinary pair of headphones or (3.5 mm headset for Nokia AD-61). Google both (Nokia AD-56) and (Nokia AD-61) to see their images.

Opera Mobile and Nokia e71

Hello.
I downloaded few Opera versions and I fell in love fast. The only one minus is that when I click any link, web browser open it, not opera. Opera does something only when I start it...and type something. Anyone can tell me STEP BY STEP how can I make Opera Mobile my default browser?? That it would open everything and all the time??

Hi Akash_satpathi,
I would assume that yes, Opera Mobile is available for Nokia Belle devices. I have both Opera Mini and Opera Mobile installed on my N8 (running Belle).
Just search for Opera Mobile in Nokia Store in your device, or if you are having trouble, point your default web browser on the Nokia 500 to: http://m.opera.com and download from the relevant link.

Nokia E71: Messaging Button and Name and Date Form...

Two questions:
1. When in stand-by mode and I click on the Messaging button, it always directs me to my e-mail. I would like to set it as such that it will go to my Inbox, instead.
2. Is there a name separator I can use? On my inbox, the name format is "Last Name First Name". Is there a way I can change it to "Last Name, First Name" or much better would be "First Name Last Name"?
3. Lastly, I prefer my dates with the months spelled out, like "15 Nov 2008" instead of "15.11.08" It works for older Nokia models, like my brother's phone. Where can I set this for my new E71?

1: Menu -> Tools -> Settings -> General -> Personalisation -> One-touch Keys and change it from there. there are different options for short presses and long presses.
2: I think you need to get your contacts organised which in turn will organise your inbox! Go to your contacts -> Options -> Settings -> Name Display....
3: Can't help you with number 3 since they dont seem to have the ability to have the name of the month displayed, just the number of it. Maybe someone else knows how its done. Good luck to you.

Nokia E71 hard reset and then....

Hi community, what happens is i perform a hard reset on my nokia e71, will i lost some software (that originally came with the phone)? or everything remains the same as when i bought it brand new?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@ Smorrissey, if I understand you correctly, then we agree that grschinon is the one beeing correct here.
@ Other users who search for help in this thread: Oposum is beeing a troll and should not be paid attention to. (I assume that oposum is refering to the "reset settings to factory default" manouver which would be *#7780# )...
people please understand, a sofware reset is provoked by software, a hardware reset is by hardware BOTH restore your phone to the brand new status.
If you only want to restore your settings the procedure is different.
Grschinon has already explained that in the posts above.

Nokia E71 Questions - 3G and GPS - URGENT PLEASE R...

Hi everyone! Hope you are doing well. I am a big noobie when it comes to phone services.
I am planning to buy an unlocked Nokia E71. My service provider is AT&T. I am currently using a Sony Ericsson w580i and I use the MediaNet data plan. However, I know the Nokia E71 is 3G capable.
My question is: Once I buy my Nokia E71:
1) How do I enable it for 3G? Is there a seperate service I have to pay monthly like MediaNet to get the speeds of 3G? How do I suscribe to the 3G service on AT&T?
2) Does Google Maps on the E71 give the exact location of me? My w580i only gives me an "accurate" location within 1100 meters, which is totally not good enough for me.
That would be all! Thanks everyone

I have AT&T with an old Cingular SIM card. I popped it into my E71 and it works just fine. I can set the phone to UMTS (3g) and it will connect and use it just fine for phones and data. Though for data it appears (to me) to go slow like it's still using Edge for data. I might need to go in and get a new SIM card meant for a 3G device to get actual 3G speeds. But right now it is not a big deal for me.
3G is not a seperate service to pay for. If you use it for voice then you don't need to do anything more. Though for data.. like me.. you might need to get a newer 3G sim card to see its full speed potential. Be warned that you will need to get a data package (not the standard Pay Per Use). PPU will get $$$ very fast. It is considered a smart phone and will cost like 29.99 for the unlimited data plan. Though since AT&T doesn't have the E71 yet you can sneak by with the unlimited medianet option for 19.99. Though if you use too much data AT&T might notice it and take the medianet option off without telling you and stick you on the pay per use plan which will cause your bill to be very $$$.
I have used google maps and it plays just fine with the internal GPS (you WILL need a data connection to use gmaps!) I think it has said it has locked on to within 20meters for me. I havnt used it in a while but I think that's the closest its got.
Another option is the builtin Nokia Maps. Not as user friendly in my opinion. But at least you can download maps to a memory card and not have to worry about using data all the time.
Hope this rambling helps.

Nokia E71 time and date problems.

I cant ever set the time and date of my nokia E71. Anytime i access the time and date settings, it just doesn't go through. Please help me out.

Hi Faces1,
Welcome to Nokia discussions board!
In order to fix this issue, I advise you to perform a soft reset on your phone: type *#7780#. Default lock code is 12345. If the issue persists, perform a hard reset. First of all, back up your data using Nokia Suite (Tools > Back up). Once your data is fully backed up, type *#7370# on the keypad.
Alternatively, you may also check for updates on Nokia Suite (by going to Tools > Updates).
Then try to set the time and date again.
Let us know how you get on and feel free to post any other questions you may have.

Nokia E71 and NMT Bookmark synchronization

Hi,
I just got a brand new E71 and using a Mac 10.5.4. Whenever I connect the device to my mac, it says sending bookmarks and after sending NMT throws up a message : The following bookmarks transfers errors have occurred. If the error is not permanent, you can try starting the transfers again
Nokia E71 Internal Synchronization Error.
Tried removing NMT completely from the hard drive.
Downloaded a fresh copy of NMT from the Web.
Updated NMT.
Tried again with no go.
Very disappointed at this stage, thinking that E71 will work with the mac with no issues . :-(
cheers,
sandy
Helpful information, then dont forget to hit the kudos star :-) Or say it accepted solution and thanks

OK- I just noticed that the synchronization issue is fixed (mysteriously)on my WM6 device. Remember it also had sync issues today and now I have a lighting fast sync rate. Sounds like a MS issue(?) I will try my Nokia when I get home. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Tonight when I got home I popped my SIM into the E71. Since I deleted the program I needed to re load it from Download!.I got an error that read: IM/Messenger download file is corrupted. It would NOT let me download Windows Live from (Download!). SO I loaded my old version of Messenger/Windowslive Version 1.1.8161 and It works perfectly. Don't know what to say about that....
Now I'm festering about the whole signal strength issue when you hold your hand over the back cover-Surely we all knew about this problem...Gotta love It.

My wife has an NOKIA E71 and she syncs with iSync. Everything works well, but when she adds a meeting on her phone, it does appear on the computer after syncing. Anyone? We have an iMac 24" with the latest MAC OS.

Hello Kerrigaj,
After a re-install of OS X 10.5.8 uninstalled the E71 in iSync and moved it out of the bluetooth-device list first and completely re-installed it using the bluetooth manager (SystemPreferences/Hardware).
No extra thirdparty-software involved and ever since no problems.
Goodluck - hope it works for you.

Nokia E71 - some serious issues, and Nokia doesn't...

Well, I have owned the Nokia E71 for some weeks now, and while I must say that hardware, design, keyboard and display of this phone are well engineered, when it comes to software, there are many serious show-stopper bugs in many very basic applications which have been known for months and have so far not been taken care of by Nokia. New buyers, beware: 1) The Email-client has great difficulties coping with more than about 950 messages. After that, out of memory errors and lockups while deleting messages appear. Sometimes, repeatedly, all messages are lost. 2) The internet browser crashes at random intervals. 3) The calendar seems to sometimes produce buggy internal files, which in turn make the error intolerant sync-function crash when trying to transfer data to a PC. 4) The camera picture is very noisy in low light conditions and has a purple haze. The haze was finally corrected in firmware 210. 5) However, since firmware 200 the clock in not updated in standby. 6) Since firmware 200 the alarm repeat mode does sometimes not work when the phone was switched off and was not being charged. 7) When a software installation went wrong, on every startup annoying messages appear. Due to memory protection, this cannot be corrected from the phone, but only from a PC in mass storage mode. 8) When using mass storage mode, most menu item customisations are lost. 9) When doing a firmware update, all memory contents is lost. Users repeatedly have reported that restoring the necessary backup sometimes does not work, thus all data is lost. 10) The text color of the contacts list is always black. Instead of making this something dependent on the installed color theme, since firmware 200 the background in contacts is now always white, whatever the theme. Ugly. 11) Bluetooth connections are known to be unstable. 12) There is no stop-watch or count-down timer. 13) Hands-free volume is not loud enough. In short, if you want to use your Nokia E71 professionally, and not just to play around, think twice. Perhaps a Blackberry Bold or Curve are the better choice.

I have read the whole of this topic with great interest. I haven't got an E71 yet but decided to look up a bit about it first before deciding whether it was for me. I have been using a T2 palm which is now ancient and coming to the end of its life so need something that is going to be as reliable as it has been in the past. I also wanted to consolidate my phone with my diary. I am now in two minds as to whether to go for a smart phone at all :-S.
I don't think this discussion has anything to do with the decision as to whether to get a smart phone. It has to do with whether to get *this* smart phone. There are others, of course, and they should be considered.
The original question i was looking for on the forums was whether you can cut and paste entries in the calendar as that is something I use everyday, but now having read all the posts on this board I am worried that I will lose all my appointments and contacts!!
You aren't going to lose your appointments and contacts unless you are foolish enough not to sync your phone with a PC and to back up that PC. If you have data that you care about in any electronic device and you don't back it up and the device loses the data or you lose the device you have only yourself to blame. Presumably you sync your T2 (a fine device, I have one, and two T3s as well)? Well, do the same with whatever phone you buy.
Can anyone convince me that I am doing the right thing in even considering a Nokia E71?
You've read what's been said here. I think the summary is that the hardware is very good, Symbian is a solid OS, but some of the phone and PC software, as well as the (website and phone) support is slipshod (I tried calling Nokia customer service the other day and their phone menu system went into a loop!). My experience is that while much of this is annoying as hell, I've managed to beat this thing into submission and make it usable, at least for me. And I use it both as an organizer (I'm finding that I use my T3 less and less, though I still keep it up-to-date, because there are things it can do that the E71 can't) and a phone. One of my requirements was that I wanted an unlocked phone. Because I am a light phone user (also occasional user of the web browser and email client; rarely use texting), I have a pay-as-you-go account, which is far less expensive than the usual contract account. The E71 is available unlocked at reasonable prices. Something equivalent, like the Blackberry Bold, was twice the price when I bought the Nokia in February. The iPhone wasn't available unlocked. The Google phone wasn't available unlocked and the reviews were lukewarm. The Palm Pre wasn't available. Etc. The E71 seemed like the most reasonable solution for me at the time. Of course, I didn't know about the problems I was to encounter, but, as I said, I've worked around them.
So my advice to you is to look at the whole field of available smart phones, of which there are many, consider your needs and do cost/benefit analysis. I would include the E71 in your deliberations but certainly can't give it an unqualified recommendation. But I also can't say "you are completely insane if you buy this phone". It depends on your requirements and what you are willing to pay.
I hope this helps a bit.

Nokia E71 and Pioneer CD-BTB200

The nokia e71 connects successfully to Pioneer CD-BTB200 Bluetooth device, but when you try to transfer your phone book to the pioneer device, the bluetooth is disconnected!!!
any idea on how to transfer the phone book?!

I had exactly the same problem with a Nokia E71 and a Pioneer DEH-P700BT. I already contacted Pioneer without success. My Nokia is Hutchison 3G branded with software level: 100.07.76. First connection works fine, after switching the car off no more connection possible. Always connects and disconnects in the next second. Today I tried the following which solved the problem (however it works...). I paired the Pioneer with another E71 which has software level 110.07.127 and is T-Mobile branded. The pairing just worked fine, also after turning the car off and on again, both devices were working together. Afterwards I deleted the T-Mobile E71 again and tried again with my own E71: Now also my E71 works perfectly together with the Pioneer. However, phonebook transfer still doesnt work but thats not really a problem because the phone is held in front of me so I can see who is calling. I have no idea how this worked but maybe other ppl can try the same. Maybe your local Nokia Service Center can update your phone software.

Nokia E71 Difference between Switch mode and Profi...

I have Nokia E71, Phone having option to switch modes and also we have profile option.
Can some body explain the difference between switch mode and having different profile ?.
Thanks

The profile impacts things like default ringtone, vibration settings, etc.
With the mode switching you can also switch active standby applications and plugins (e.g., work vs. free time).
Personally, I don't use the modes, and with profiles, I only use "General" and "Silent" and don't bother with others.

Nokia E71 OBEX PC Suite Services

Hello Everyone.
Please understand my environment first before posting any solutions.
I have installed E-Blue Mini Nova Bluetooth USB Dongle in my Toshiba notebook and it has been successfully installed all of its Windows Vista drivers. I than connect my Nokia E71 phone with my notebook using bluetooth link and have been paired successfully from Nokia PC Suite software. When i finish pairing my Nokia E71 with PC Suite software, it shows me a balloon there in task bar that some drivers needs to be installed and when i clicked on the Services button under the properties button of my Nokia E71 in the Bluetooth Devices box. It shows me that the drivers for the following three services didn't installed properly and that Windows Vista was asking me to put a CD in the drive in order to update the drivers. The services which needs to be installed drivers for Nokia E71 are
1. Nokia OBEX PC Suite Services
2. Nokia SyncML Server
3. SyncML DM Client
Can anyone help me out in this scenario so that i could install the drivers in order to use these services too.
Awaiting for reply.
Naeem

Hi Sage.
Thank you for your comments. Please note that i have tried to do all these things for about couple of times but didn't get success. Now, my phone is paired successfully with my notebook and with my Nokia PC Suite software. The three services which i have written in my first message was not activating as whenever i tried to check on those services, a small balloon in the task bar started to locate for the drivers and hence i do not have the drivers for those three services. Those are mentioned as Bluetooth Peripheral Device in the Device Manager of my notebook.
Please let me know if you have any other solution for this.

Nokia E71 Menu View Totally Changed. How to revert...

The menu view of my nokia e71 has changed radically. the installations,connectivity,media,tools etc all the folders have disappeared and all their contents (buetooth,infrared,gps,realplayer,recorder etc) are cluttering up the menu. i want all the folders back with their contents in them. what should i do to get back the normal menu view?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

try the following
2.*#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
3. hard reset - hold the following buttons * (star key), 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 i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Nokia E71 Manual Network selection Problems

HI
I have the E71 on the Three network and it allows roaming in this country (something thats usually locked off) to avoid roaming charges I went to change the phones network select option from Automatic to manual, I get the usual pop up to select the network I want to connect to but when I go back to the network options screen it shows as automatic and does indeed allow roaming. How do I actually change to manual network selection.
Cheers

I can't believe that Nokia have not resolved this problem.
The problem gives a direct influence on the cost of calls, which is very excessive.
I spent 3 hours on the phone to Three to try to resolve the problem and nothing worked. Tried removing sim card and putting it back in, factory reset and hard reset.
For a regular traveler this phone is a nightmare. Call charges can range from £0.25p to £1.50 and 0.12p to 0.25p. Also call charges may be applicable in the UK depending on your network provider.
Quite simply not fit for its purpose. A mobile phone by definition is "a hand-held mobile radiotelephone for use in an area divided into small sections, each with its own short-range transmitter/receiver provided by a specific network carrier".
Unfortunately the phone does not meet this definition. Under the Trade Descriptions Act of 1968 should be entitled to a refund as customers have been mislead by the sale of the handset. Also the phone directly misleads roaming customers.
Also under the Sale of Goods Act of 1979 the mobile phone should be "fit for purpose". Unfortunately the E71 is not fit for purpose as a mobile phone does not meet its definition and as a customer the network provider does not provide a fair service carried by the network. Most networks are contractually bound to do so.
If you have a problem with this phone please contact Nokia or your provider to try to resolve the problem and push the new firmware as soon as possible!
