TOP questions for Eseries devices - start here

My Eseries device is not functioning properly.
Always make sure that you have the latest software version in your Nokia device. You can update the software yourself using Nokia Software Updater, Nokia's free PC software. Learn more and download Nokia Software Updater at
www.europe.nokia.com/softwareupdate
If you still experience problems, you can try if formatting your Eseries device helps. Format the device by dialling *#7370#. The device will request a security code, the default code is 12345 unless you have changed it.
Note that formatting will delete all user data from the device memory so always make a back-up to a memory card or use Nokia PC Suite.
If you think your Nokia device needs repair, go to www.europe.nokia.com/repair to find authorized Nokia Care Points globally.
How do I know when there is new software available for my Nokia device?
There are several ways to be notified about new sw versions for each Nokia device:
1) Use Nokia PC Suite
Whenever you connect your device to the latest version of Nokia PC Suite with a compatible USB cable, PC Suite will check if there is an update for your device. Note that this notification only works when you use a USB cable connection.
2) Check online
You can easily check the latest available version on the
Nokia Software Update website.
Currently Nokia does not publish the expected release dates for new software versions.
What has been updated in each new software version?
Main updates are published on the
Nokia Software Update website.
How can I make my Nokia device's battery last longer?
Here are some of the most common tips. Note that these tips do not apply to all Nokia device models:
- only enable Bluetooth and WLAN when you need them
- set GPRS connection to "When needed"
- do not leave applications running unnecessarily in the backgroundMessage Edited by vandelay on 30-Oct-2007 02:06 PM

Very strange - or perhaps not that strange but just another issue....  I tried the Hard Reset code again at this time it worked!!!  I'm now re-entering my details and remembering what I didn't back up   But if it fixes my issues it will be worth it.
FYI from another fine post I found:
FOR SOFT-RESET:
- at Standby Screen type-in => *#7780#
It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
FOR HARD-RESET:
- at Standby Screen type-in => *#7370#
It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
FOR FLASHING- TOTAL RESTORE: (Do this if your phone does not boot up)
1) Remove the battery, and then wait for about 20 min or so before putting it back
2) Press and hold these three keys together -Green dial key, Star key[*], Three key [3]
3) switch ON the phone.
4) Do not let go the three keys until you see the WELCOME screen displayed and just let it complete the boot process

    How do I know when there is new software available for my Nokia device?
    There are several ways to be notified about new sw versions for each Nokia device:
    1) Use Nokia Ovi Suite
    When you connect your device to a PC which is running Nokia Ovi Suite, you can check the available updates and install them in Software Updates menu of Ovi Suite.
    2) Check online
    You can easily check the latest available version on the
    Nokia Software Update website.
    3) Update over-the-air
    Many devices allow you to check and install the software updates directly over-the-air by using 3G/GPRS or WLAN data connection. Go to SW Update menu where you can check the available updates and install them. Alternatively, you can type in the command *#0000# and select Options > Check for updates.

    Here are some of the most common tips. Note that these tips do not apply to all Nokia device models:
    Only enable Bluetooth and WLAN when you need them.
    Set GPRS connection to "When needed".
    Do not leave applications running unnecessarily in the background, e.g. applications which are using GPS or data connection (consuming the battery power).
    If using Maps, preload the map data to your device to avoid the downloading of the map data when Maps application is in use.
    Set the backlight time-out value to turn off the backlight when the device is not used.
    Turn off the notification lights.
    What to do if I get the error message "Memory full. Delete or move some data from C: Phone memory"
    The device memory is low in this case and you should try to free some memory on your C: drive. Use File Mgr. application to view the contents of the C: phone memory. To get more free space on C: drive, check the following:
    Clear the web browser cache to release memory used by the cache.
    Move your own files stored on C: drive to memory card or mass memory (if your device has an internal mass memory).
    Check that the captured photos are stored on memory card or mass memory, not on C: drive.
    Remove applications which are installed in C: phone memory if they are not used, or install them to mass memory if supported by the application
    The calendar entries, contacts and notes reside in the phone memory. Remove the objects which are not needed.
    If using Nokia N97 device, select Menu > Applications > SW Update and install Memory reorganiser if it is listed in the available updates. Run the program by selecting Menu > Applications > Reorganiser, this will move some of the applications from C: phone memory to E: mass memory.

  • TOP questions for Eseries devices - not so new!

    Just noticed that the thread titled:
    TOP questions for Eseries devices - start here [new]
    Really isn't so new dated 30-Cot-2007 11:48 AM - last edited on 30-Oct-2007 11:48 AM
    The post suggests that the first thing to do is update to the latest version of software.
    Alas the last update for E72 was 27 October 2010 which is flawed!  I know as my phone has misbehaved since installing it and I see other users reporting similar if not the same issues here.
    *#0000# reports version 052.005.217.11
    Question - How does one down grade to previous version?
    The post then suggests "If you still experience problems, you can try if formatting your Eseries device helps. Format the device by dialling *#7370#. The device will request a security code, the default code is 12345 unless you have changed it."
    Well actually on the E72 this does nothing!  I Type in *#7370# and its displayed to me and nothing else happens.  If I enter *#0000# I get the version number so it seems the software/firmware does not understand the code above!
    I did try 'factory settings' option from one of the control panel menu's instead at some point of my misery but was surprised by just how little effect that had - many things were not reset.
    If your still reading, I thought I would share some steps I have found to sometimes help on E72 when it appears to hang / stall:
    1. Try holding down the home button and if the running applications bar is shown try closing the applications by pressing the delete (backspace) key.
    2.- If that fails try pressing the off button and selecting 'offline' mode - This sometimes works - if it does then try previous point before going back to an online mode such as 'general'.
    3. If that fails - try holding down the power button to turn device off - that sometimes works! But sometimes the keyboard lights simply stay on until the battery goes dead...
    4. Remove the battery wait a moment and then re-insert battery.  You may then have to enter the time and date. Do check your alarms - during GMT I noticed all my alarms would have incremented by an hour!  Not seen this since BST started.

    Very strange - or perhaps not that strange but just another issue....  I tried the Hard Reset code again at this time it worked!!!  I'm now re-entering my details and remembering what I didn't back up   But if it fixes my issues it will be worth it.

  • TOP questions about Software Updates - start here

    How do I update the software of my Nokia device?
    You can update the software of most Nokia devices by downloading the software directly to your phone, or by using Nokia Software Updater, Nokia's free PC software.
    Learn how and find out which methods are available for your device at
    http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/update-your-phone/
    How do I know when there is new software available for my Nokia device?
    There are several ways to be notified about new sw versions for each Nokia device:
    1) Use Nokia Suite
    Whenever you connect your device to the latest version of Nokia Suite with a compatible USB cable, Nokia Suite will check if there is an update for your device. Note that this notification only works when you use a USB cable connection.
    2) Check online
    You can easily check the latest available version on the
    Nokia Software Update website.
    Currently Nokia does not publish the expected release dates for future software versions.
    What has been updated in each new software version?
    Main updates are published on the
    Nokia Software Update website.
    Here are some of the most common questions from the Nokia Software Update FAQ:
    Why has my device changed language after updating?
    After an update, your Nokia device may restart in its native language. Changing back to your preferred language can be done from the phone settings. Full instructions may vary depending on the phone model, if you need help you can download the full user guide for your phone from the support pages of your country's Nokia web site - visit www.nokia.com/support for more details.
    If your Nokia device was originally manufactured for use in another country or region, using Nokia Software Updater may revert the set of available device languages to the original language set.
    If your preferred language is no longer available after using Nokia Software Updater, you may need to return your Nokia device to a Nokia Care point to have this language reinstated.
    Other people can update their software but I cannot, although we have the same Nokia device model. What's wrong?
    Update availability is based on many things, including existing Nokia device firmware version, country, and operator. It may be due to one of these variables that your Nokia device isn't eligible for updates.
    Please note that your mobile service provider, operator, or carrier may not have approved the latest Nokia device firmware available.
    Nokia produces many different variants of each product (for different countries and languages) and not all variants have the latest Nokia device firmware. It is our priority to update all variants as quickly as possible, and we apologise for any delay. New software may become available at a later date, however, so please check again soon.
    Why doesn’t Nokia Suite detect my device?
    Sometimes the drivers for your Nokia device and associated connectivity cables can become corrupted.
    To resolve this, uninstall and re-install Nokia PC Suite and Nokia Software Updater:
    - In your PC’s Control Panel, go to Add/Remove programs
    - Uninstall Nokia Suite (if there are more than one entries uninstall all of them)
    - Go to www.nokia.com/support to download and install the latest version of Nokia Suite
    I am not able to use Nokia Suite on any PC and my device does not support updates directly over the air. Is there an alternative way to update my device's software?
    If you are not able to use Nokia Software Updater, you can visit your nearest authorized Nokia Care Point to have your software updated. Note that this may incur a charge. Locations for Nokia Care Points globally are available at the support page for your country, for details please visit http://www.nokia.com/global/support/locations/

    Nokia considers changelogs to be confidential information and does not release them to the public.
    If you see any such information, it is leaked information and should therefore be treated with circumspection.

    forumnotifierHI i am user for InDesincc TrialVersion now. i have serious question for all guys in here. at first i installed Indesigncc as korean language but now i need to indesigncc english language installation. and then now i cant translate and changing korean language interface to english language interface at indesigncc download. so i wonder How i can do that?...i am very seriuos for now....i want indesigncc version for Eng.Language interface. but now i cant do that .i dont konw how i can presented kor. interfacing transite to eng. interface..

    First of all, uninstall it with the uninstaller.
    Then:
    Install the ENGLISH version.
    Change the language in the CC app to Korean.
    Install the Korean version. (DON't uninstall the English version)
    Change back the langauge in the CC app to English.
    When your OS is running in English, InDesign will run in English with Korean functionality added, if your OS is running in Korean it will take the Korean User Interface, so let your OS run in English.
    Every installer language will add needed plugins for the work with that language. E.g. If I install Hebrew, I get RTL functionality in German version, only if I would change the OS language it would change the language of InDesign, InDesign takes always as UI language the language of the OS if available, if not (in your case you have uninstalled English before), it takes any version which is available in the order of languages specified in the OS.
    If you need to run your program in a different language than the OS but you have installed it in the language of the OS it becomes more difficult. You would have to use some system tools which are able to force a program to open with a different language. Most of those tools are freeware.

  • Top Questions for HERE Maps & Drive & Transit

    This thread is to share some of the common issues that are being raised in relation to the HERE Maps, HERE Drive and HERE Transit releases. 
    Currently split in to the following sections:
    HERE Maps for Windows Phone
    HERE Drive for Windows Phone
    HERE Transit for Windows Phone
    Nokia Maps & Drive for Symbian
    HERE Maps for Windows Phone
    Can I sync my Maps favourites from my Symbian phone to my Windows Phone?
    Yes. Just sync the favourites on your Symbian phone with here.com. See the user guide of your Symbian phone for info on how to do this.
    Your favourites in here.com are automatically synced with your Windows Phone, if you're signed in to your Nokia account with your phone.
    Does HERE Maps work offline?
    Yes, on Windows Phone 8 devices HERE Maps can be used also in offline mode.
    With Nokia Maps on the Windows Phone 7 devices you need an online connection. In these devices the map data is streamed on as needed basis and it is not cached.
    Can I start Drive navigation from HERE Maps in my Nokia Lumia phone?
    Yes, on Windows Phone 8 devices you can start drive navigation from HERE Maps.
    On Windows Phone 7 devices you need to go to the Nokia Drive application to start the navigation.
    Why can't HERE Maps find my location?
    Check that you've allowed HERE Maps and your phone to find your location.
    In HERE Maps
    Go to Settings in the HERE Maps app and turn on Use your location
    In your phone settings
    In your phone's main menu, tap Settings > location > on.
    Things that can affect your GPS signal may include: being indoors, tall buildings, poor weather and some car windscreens. You'll also get a better fix on your location if you've got a data connection.
    HERE Drive for Windows Phone
    Can I use HERE Drive without a data connection?
    Yes. To use HERE Drive offline, tap Settings and choose Connection. You can then toggle between offline and online.
    Search results might be limited in offline mode. To be able to navigate offline, you need to download a map to your phone.
    What is the difference between HERE Maps and HERE Drive?
    HERE Drive is an application for voice-guided turn-by-turn driving navigation. HERE Maps is a map application which shows your current position and interesting places around you. You can also plan routes in HERE Maps but the app will launch HERE Drive for turn-by-turn navigation
    What's the difference between HERE Drive and HERE Drive+?
    HERE Drive offers turn-by-turn navigation in a single country or area, depending on the country of your SIM. Worldwide navigation is possible by purchasing an upgrade.
    HERE Drive+ is a premium app that comes with worldwide turn-by-turn navigation from the start. You can use it with or without a SIM.
    Users of HERE Drive can buy an upgrade to HERE Drive+ through the Windows Phone Store.
    HERE Transit for Windows Phone
    How do I install the HERE Transit application in my Windows Phone?
    Download and install HERE Transit from Microsoft Store. Start Store in your phone and search for HERE Transit or browse in Nokia collection.
    In Windows Phone 7 devices the corresponding app is Nokia Transport and it can be installed from Marketplace.
    Why can't HERE Transit find my route?
    If you're having trouble getting a route:
    Make sure the date, time and time zone on your phone are set properly.
    Check that you've got a data connection.
    A point in your route might be in a region where no transport info is available.
    The route is too long. HERE Transit is designed for use with local city public transport, not national or international transport.
    Can I save routes in HERE Transit?
    You can pin a journey from your current location as a tile to your Windows Phone start screen.
    Select the options icon at the bottom of the screen, and then the pin icon.

    Although i work for Nokia, my opinions are my own!
    Got a Maps query? Check our Maps FAQ's

    Sorry, I'd like to unresolve this. The workaround mentioned is not a solution.
    I travel to loads of places by motorcycle, and going off the beaten track is wonderful. Since I upgraded My E6-00 and C7-00 to a Lumia 920, I'm back to allowing the SatNav (phone) to decide where I go. Boring dual carriageways and bypasses are now my natural habitat - bah humbug. Afterall, the phone is in my pocket (safe from weather), headphones in my helmet - I can't constantly look at a map. Having multiple 'favourites' and planning from one to the next isn't workable. Fair enough the Lumia 920 is usable with gloves on (major plus for a biker, come on you marketing people!) but I don't fancy re-routing all the time by the side of a road.
    I'm also planning a charity cycle ride over 100s of miles this Summer, and while that can be done in BikeRouteToaster, Google Maps etc, there is no import function into 'HERE' that I can see. It's impossible to plan a route on the device itself. Yes it can route walker (I can't seem to get turn by turn working for that, but nevermind), public transport and car, I have an option to avoid motorways etc, but cycle route planning needs consideration for height metres, unpaved/paved roads (Google StreetView etc used a lot to find a Sustrans route is actually unfit for road bikes) etc. So.. Importing a route planned elsewhere (gpx, kml or something) would be a real alternative, or a workaround. Asking the device to do its own planning from one point to another really isn't workable.
    Please make the Nokia's USP an actual USP again?

    Very strange - or perhaps not that strange but just another issue....  I tried the Hard Reset code again at this time it worked!!!  I'm now re-entering my details and remembering what I didn't back up   But if it fixes my issues it will be worth it.
    FYI from another fine post I found:
    FOR SOFT-RESET:
    - at Standby Screen type-in => *#7780#
    It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
    Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
    FOR HARD-RESET:
    - at Standby Screen type-in => *#7370#
    It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
    Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
    FOR FLASHING- TOTAL RESTORE: (Do this if your phone does not boot up)
    1) Remove the battery, and then wait for about 20 min or so before putting it back
    2) Press and hold these three keys together -Green dial key, Star key[*], Three key [3]
    3) switch ON the phone.
    4) Do not let go the three keys until you see the WELCOME screen displayed and just let it complete the boot process

  • I have 2 iphones4! Do I have to create one apple id for each device or I can have both in one apple id? I'm asking cause I'm trying to run findmyiphone app for both devices!

    I have 2 iphones4! Do I have to create one apple id for each device or I can have both in one apple id? I'm asking cause I'm trying to run findmyiphone app for both devices!

    Here's what I do. My wife and  I each have an iPhone. We each have our own Apple ID. I also have another totally separate Apple ID. The ONLY thing that one has been used for was to set up Find my iPhone for our phones and my iPad. There is no reason the MobileMe setting for find my iphone can't be something completely different from your regular Apple ID UNLESS you already use MobileMe, in which case the 2 conflict in ways I don't understand as I don't subscribe to it.

  • Is it ok to use one apple id for two devices ?

    is it ok to use one apple id for two devices ?

    Here's the deal: The SLA permits the "sharing" of content with up to 5 family members in the same household. Any other distribution of content is considered stealing...the SLA does not give you the right to distribute content in any way, shape or form. Its really that simple, and "friend" is NOT a family member living in the same household.

  • I have multiple apple devices mainly used between me and my wife , my question is that can i have two sets of contacts backed up to icloud one for her devices and one for my devices using the same itunes account

    i have two sets of devices one ipad, iphone and mac which i use and one iphone ipad and mac which my wife uses
    now is it possible to have two sets of contacts and calendar synchronised for her devices and one for my devices using the same icloud account
    i dont want a separate itunes account as we use the same music books and apps to be automatically downloaded which is very convenient
    please guide

    You can set up different iCloud accounts on each device using different Apple IDs (to keep your mail, calendars, contacts, etc. separated), and still share the same iTunes account (in Settings>Store on your device).  There is no requirement that you use the same Apple ID for purchases and for iCloud.

    I wrote all my posts from 2005-2011 as an "Admin" for this community. I still work for Nokia as an external consultant, so my rank in all posts is now "Employee".

    Very strange - or perhaps not that strange but just another issue....  I tried the Hard Reset code again at this time it worked!!!  I'm now re-entering my details and remembering what I didn't back up   But if it fixes my issues it will be worth it.
    FYI from another fine post I found:
    FOR SOFT-RESET:
    - at Standby Screen type-in => *#7780#
    It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
    Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
    FOR HARD-RESET:
    - at Standby Screen type-in => *#7370#
    It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
    Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
    FOR FLASHING- TOTAL RESTORE: (Do this if your phone does not boot up)
    1) Remove the battery, and then wait for about 20 min or so before putting it back
    2) Press and hold these three keys together -Green dial key, Star key[*], Three key [3]
    3) switch ON the phone.
    4) Do not let go the three keys until you see the WELCOME screen displayed and just let it complete the boot process
    if this doesnt help contact Nokia Care Point-> http://europe.nokia.com/A4388379

  • Adobe to ditch flash for mobile devices! A few questions

    Just read the news. Have a few questions
    1. Is AIR still going to be used for cross platform deployment as that is what I am using now ie: will it be used to deploy html5 apps/programmes?
    2. What tool/IDE will adobe be using for html5 - flash? flex?
    3. All of our multimedia swfs etc... - can they be exported/used in an html5 environment
    4. html5 coding - is it similar to actionscript 3 ie: do we have to start all over again - back to school?
    5. Games coded with actionscript 3. Can these games be exported to html5 or must they be rewritten?
    Flash stays for pc it looks like.
    So it is no longer multiplatform - we will have to code for flash on pc and html5 for mobile devices - is that right or will there be some kind of packager that will export our flash to html5
    Just a few questions

    I don't work for Adobe so my understanding may not be 100% accurate but here we go...
    1. Is AIR still going to be used for cross platform deployment as that is what I am using now ie: will it be used to deploy html5 apps/programmes?
    Adobe will be concentrating on developing AIR for packaging  apps for mobile devices. AIR is ActionScript based and it does not produce HTML5 apps.
    2. What tool/IDE will adobe be using for html5 - flash? flex?
    HTML5 itself is just a flavour of HTML and therefore Dreamweaver is the Adobe tool for it For Javascript based timeline animation etc, Adobe has Edge http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/edge/
    3. All of our multimedia swfs etc... - can they be exported/used in an html5 environment
    Adobe has Wallaby http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/wallaby/ for this - I'm not sure how active the development is lately though. In any case it's impossible to replicate all features of Flash in HTML5.
    4. html5 coding - is it similar to actionscript 3 ie: do we have to start all over again - back to school?
    Again HTML5 itself is just a simple set of HTML tags. JavaScript is very similar to ActionScript, as AS is based on JavaScript (ECMAScript). For example HTML5 Canvas drawing API is very similar to AS3 drawing API. Therefore if you know AS, at least you know the basics of JS syntax.
    5. Games coded with actionscript 3. Can these games be exported to html5 or must they be rewritten?
    If you want it to run on browsers, yes. If you want to convert into apps then AIR does that.

  • It is so nice spending 2 hours on a phone to be hung up upon waiting for a supervisor. After being told the day before I would get a call when the customer service representiave started her shift at 7pm to give me more answers. I do not like to be stuck w

    What a frustrating experience I have had trying to get away from This phone and Plan. I just want to down grade this phone. What difference does it make to you here? All VZW will do is re certify the phone and give it to someone else. I just would like to down grade to a cheaper phone and do away with android os. I still have the same issues with the phone as I did with my other one within a hour of re activating it. I should have no issues with the os it is flawed and should not happen. I am sorry to say but The blackberry OS is a lot more stable. There may not be as many apps but it is more productive and being able to multi task is a lot more needed on a phone. I was told yesterday I would get a call back today at 7pm when this tech support lady would start her shift to give me my options and she did not call. Making me call at 930pm today and after talking to someone I waited for 45 minuets to be hung up on. That is a real great way to treat a customer and make things better. I just want away from the Andriod OS. What difference does it make to you as a company to make a customer happy who was with you since 08 and having a second device added on to the account? What Poor way to treat someone to make them happy with all the profits you have and can't give anything back to a customer.

  • Do I need a different apple id for each device? I have two iPads and an iPod but can only purchase things on the first one. When I go to verify the questions they say they are wrong.

    Do I need a different apple ID for each device I have? I have two iPads and an iPod but I can only make purchases with the first one I purchased. It tells me the security questions are wrong but I know they are not because I wrote them down. I have also reset them and my password once. Please help if you can

    You can not login into iTunes or the App Store using VPP credentials. You must purchase all apps/book/etc.  from the VPP website. Then you can redeem the codes thru itunes/app store or import the codes thru apple configurator. Here is the url for the VPP website: https://volume.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/login?cc=us
    (It will not affect any of the apps you already have but the id can only be used for VPP.)

    It is not clear what you want. Code below will return a customer with highest total amout sold regardless of year:

                 and times.time_id=sales.time_id
               group by calendar_year,
                     cust_first_name
      where rn = 1
    /Keep in mind, if more than one customer has that highest total amount sold and you want all such customers:
