Two N97 problems - just me?

I searched around the archives a bit but haven't found many (if any) people discussing quite what I'm experiencing on the N97, but I experience both of these problems a lot and they're very annoying.  I basically want to see if it's just me (i.e. maybe a hardware issue, or some software issue specific to my phone's setup) or if I'm just bad at searching the archives:
1) There's a touch screen issue when using the web browser.  I think this is different than the touch screen problems that others have mentioned recently.  When using the Nokia web browser, sometimes the touch screen becomes unresponsive - but only for scrolling.  It still responds to double-tap (to zoom in/out) and the corner menu tap (to bring up the menu bar).  If the keypad is open, I can use the buttons to scroll.  But scrolling with my finger just stops working.  It will stop for 10-30 seconds, then start again on its own.  It only happens with the web browser, not any other program or menu.  I tried the DIGIA web browser, which uses the built-in S60 web toolkit, and the same behavior happens there, FWIW.  I haven't tried opera.
I really don't think it's a hardware issue, because it ONLY affects the web browser.  QuickOffice, Nokia Messaging, menu screens, etc - it never happens on those.  Just the web.  Also - I don't even bother trying to scroll while the browser is loading/rendering the page - I already know the phone can't handle doing that and anything else.  So I wait until the page is entirely loaded and all of the various garbage on the screen goes away before I try to scroll - so I don't think it's just the phone not having the muscle to do what I'm asking.
2) If I type in a new task item on the phone's calendar utility, and set an alarm, the alarm behaves properly about 50% of the time.  Actually it can be a task item or a meeting item.  About 50% of the time, the alarm will work perfectly, just like it should. Sometimes, I never get the alarm, and the next time I open the calendar application I get a message that "1 or more alarms missed due to time change."  I've seen lots of people report this for other Nokia models, so I guess I do know this one's not me; just want to see if anyone has any hints on it.  I can guarantee that the time isn't changing; I don't live anywhere near a time zone border so it's not getting confused about that.  Also, when daylight savings started - it handled that just fine, so I know that at least in theory, it knows what to do if the time zone changes.
That's one behavior.  The other behavior is that the alarm will come up like it should, but within a few seconds (before I have time to get to the phone) it will stop itself - not silence, but actually stop the alarm so I have to look at the application to see what I just missed.  I used to think this was because the phone was in my pocket and I accidentally hit the button, but it also happens when the phone is sitting on my desk and not being touched.
Another variation on this is that I'll snooze or stop the alarm, and within a few seconds it happens again - same alarm.
An interesting point on this is that I use the PC Sync utility to sync with my MS Office calendar, and none of these discrepant behaviors happen with alarms set from MS Office and synced over - only on alarms that I type into the phone manually.
Does anyone have hints on either of these behaviors?  Neither of them really point to problems with the phone hardware, as far as I can tell.  I have the most current firmware I can install (v20), but the problems existed with v11 and v12 as well.  This is a NAM version of the phone if that matters.
<rant>As a side note, I'm about to waste my afternoon re-installing/refreshing the v20 firmware; I installed it whenever it came out and already the phones's performance is becoming intolerably slow (i.e. 2-3 second lag between selecting menu items and screens changing).  Plenty of free RAM and C: drive space.  It's like it's got Windows 95 running in there; after a month I have to format and re-install because the system is hosed.</rant>
Thanks as usual!

Since you haven't really told us any details, your best bet is probably to start over.
Connect via Ethernet, turn Time Machine OFF, then delete everything on the Time Capsule's internal HD, via +*Airport Utility.+* Select +*Base Station > Manual Set-Up+* from the Menubar, then Disks in the tool Bar, then Erase.
Then do a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
Reselect your Time Capsule and let TM do a new, full backup over Ethernet. Once it's done, switch to WIFI.
If there's a problem with that or subsequent backups, see Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum. Don't just hope it will fix itself.

  • HT1386 I have synced the items from itunes to an iphone 4 without problem, except the two albums I just purchased did not sync.  They show up on the itunes on my desktop and on my ipod, but not on the new iphone.  What do I need to do?

    I have an itunes account and an ipod, and when I purchased 2 albums on the computer they synced straight to the ipod.  I bought an iphone and used the usb cord from the computer to it to sync the itunes albums to the new phone.  Everything transfered, and those were albums I had uploaded (not purchased from the itunes store), except the two albmus I just purchased from the itunes store.  They appear on my itunes on the computer and ipod, but not on the iphone.  What did I fail to do or did I do incorrectly?

    This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

  • I just bought NWZ-A17 and I found two BIGGEST problems with it.

    Hi, all. I'm a new user here. I bought NWZ-A17 Walkman three days ago and I've encountered at least two biggest problems with it. First, the Walkman failed to differentiate the multiple discs of a same album. For instance, I've ripped a 2-disc album but when I transferred the songs into the device, track #1 from the first disc is played back to back with track #1 from the second disc instead of playing the whole single disc at one time. The subsequent tracks also played in the same manner. Second, the Walkman failed to load the artworks for some albums. I have no idea why. Both of the problems never present when I store and listen on my Xperia smartphone. I hope all the problems will be fixed on the next firmware update and I also hope the gapless playback will be improved across the all audio formats. Thank you for reading my rant.

  • Two new problems with the Quicktime Plug-in

    I recently discovered two new problems with the current Quicktime Plug-in for Mac OS X.
    First, the Quicktime Plug-in is unable to stream Quicktime media in any internet browsers other than Safari.
    There is just nothing on the spot where the embedded Quicktime player should be.
    Second, the Quicktime Plug-in only shows the message "The operation couldn't be completed. This file is not a movie file (-2048)"
    everytime it should work together with the Flip4Mac Plug-in. The thing is, when facing a webpage where a wmv or wma file is
    embedded, there only shows that error message on the spot where the player should exist. I first thought that it would be a
    problem with Flip4Mac. So I uploaded about this problem on telestream.net, only to hear that the error message above belongs
    to the Quicktime Plug-in.
    Both of these problems did not happen at all only three weeks ago. The embedded Quicktime player showed up without any problem
    in my Firefox and Opera, and wmv or wma files were streamed successfully through the Flip4Mac and Quicktime Plug-ins.
    Then, suddenly, after some point, these two problems began to occur, and there is no information on how to solve them on the web.
    I obviously tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime. I even completely erased the hard disk of my Macbook, and reinstalled the
    whole Mac OS X. But the problems still remained. I borrowed another Macbook from my friend to check whether these problems
    occur in other computers, and they did occur in my friend's Macbook as well. So they are definitely not the matter of my own Macbook only.
    I think these might be the problems with the new Quicktime Plug-in 7.7.1.
    Please check about these problems and solve them on the next version of the Quicktime Plug-in.
    I will give you a couple of hyperlinks so that you can check about the problems directly.

    http://blog.daum.net/wellabc/15434322
    ↑ This link is for the second problem (the error message showing up on the spot where a wmv or wma file should be streamed)
    p.s: I am sorry that I am Korean.

    I recommend that you repeat all this via

  • Two important problems with GWIA

    I have two major problems in GroupWise 8 SP2 with the latest HP.
    First, something I arose at another facility with HP2 and that in this new server with HP3 still happens, the file is lost gwac.db every 5 days at 0 hours exactly. Something I could fix with a script manager to create a backup file every 15 minutes to restore it if it is deleted. While it solves is not neat and not find what you send to delete the file.
    And second, that only happens to me with the HP3 is with respect to uid.run, each time I stop the service leaves gwia file as if it was running. My solution was to use the same script gwac.db that by lowering the lift service and delete the file uid.run, but obviously this is not neat.

    I'm not certain about the second issue but the first is a shoe in...
    Look at the working directory and you have set that to be the
    wpgate/gwia folder - and that is where the temp files are stored. It
    will not delete the temp files before they are 5 days old...
    Change the work directory (or better still just delete the string and
    let the GWIA decide) and the problem will stop.
    This should also have happened in NetWare, but there is a bug that
    stops it...

  • Attached pdf wont open - problem just started

    This week, pdfs attached to e-mail give error message "Download Error, download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred - try again". On the Download window, the message is "Failed, Mailbox Resource". Yet I can Save the file to desktop and open it.
    This problem just started to happen.
    Help would be appreciated ... thanks in advace
    Perry B

    I just started having this same issue a day or two ago. I tried the fix described above and it did not help.
    When I click on the attached file in the outgoing mail, nothing happens; when I send the file to myself and click on the attachment at the bottom of the received message I get the following error message: "The download cannot be save because an unknown error occurred. Please try again." But if I manually click on the "Save" button at the right of the attachment bar (or line, or whatever you call it), it does save just fine and will open just fine.
    I am running Win7 with all service packs. As I indicated, this problem just popped up very recently, during an interval when I had left the computer on in "sleep" mode but otherwise did not use it. HOWEVER, before trying it after waking up my machine today, I did download and install the latest security updates from micronumb. Could these latest updates be the problem?
    Thanks for any assistance anyone can give me.

  • Two MacBook Problems - Camera and Startup

    Alright, I just got my MacBook recently, and I have two minor problems.
    1) The camera. I open PhotoBooth, and it just shows a green screen. I used to be able to take pictures, but now all it does it show a green screen. And the green status light by the lens on the screen is on, and it won't turn off.
    2) Slowness. Not majorly slow, it's just not going as fast as it did when I first got it, which was about four days ago. Startup is a bit slow, as is running programs. Can I do anything to resolve this?
    Thanks very much!

  • TS1424 How do I redownload two songs I just purchased a little while ago? They didn't save right because I was low on memory. Am I screwed for 3 months for these two songs?

    How do I redownload two songs I just purchased a little while ago? They didn't save right because I was low on memory. Am I screwed for 3 months for these two songs?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • Two quick problems

    ok.. so i have two small problems...
    1) it seems my file has gone into what we call "outline" mode

    ideas?
    image here
    2) i have made a few buttons that will control the keys..
    unfortunately when i try to add actionscript it says that i can't..
    how am i supposed to direct these buttons to do things? any
    tutorials around? my google attempts havent yielded much..
    also.. i am not exactly a new user.. its just been since
    before flash mx that i have used the software..
    thanks.

    Question 1: Try going to Store>Check for available downloads. If it doesn't download from there. It is most likely corrupt in your download queue. Send an email to the iTunes Store explaining what happened, and they would just add the item to your queue again.
    Question 2: It runs off the Apple Software Update software, I would try reinstalling it.

  • Two main problems with new iPod Touch

    I received my new iPod Touch 32Gb last week and I've been trying and testing for some days. It's really a nice device, but I've found two big problems with it...
    1.- WiFi connections are extremely unreliable. On my home router it connects and gets the right IP from DHCP but then it gets stuck and can't transfer data. Safari seems to work sometimes, YouTube and maps are almost impossible to use, and other apps works only sometimes.
    I've tryed also on my office WiFi network and it's a little better. But when connection is not used for a minute it gets stucked againg. Then I need to go to settings, switch WiFi off and on again, then works again for some time.
    I've spend days searching on the Internet for a solution and I've found that lots of people has the same problem. It seems iPods have serious problems connecting to some routers and blame the router about this.
    My opinion is that the problem is with the iPod. My router works flawlessly with my two laptop computers, my desktop computer, my PSP, and my HTC PDA. No problems at all. So, where's the problem?
    2.- There's a big problem on iTunes with sync settings. I've noticed that users can select to to transfer the data manually or synch. Then on each tab for media you have individual options. For example I can choose to sync music and photos, but not sync videos and Podcasts.
    The problem is that this don't work at all. I've selected to sync music but not videos but when sync all my videos had been deleted from my iPod.
    I don't see the point on placing independent sync option on iTunes if they don't work at all.

    Sounds like a faulty battery to me. Might need to contact Apple about that.
    As far as the volume, I'm pretty sure, as I just responded to another post, the problem is the software. Any ios version 4.0 and higher, the volume is lower than iPod Touch/iPhones with 3.1.3 and lower. My volume has been lower ever since I upgraded to 4.0 and 4.2, and I've found a lot of other people online complaining about the same thing. I've seen a couple posts where some have said Apple lowered the volume on purpose. I think we just need to complain to them and hope they release an updated ios with the volume raised back to where it was.

  • Not really a problem just would like to know if I install firefox 4 beta...will I lose my bookmarks already in my current firefox browers and is that the same for the farmville game bar from facebook

    Not really a problem just would like to know if I install firefox 4 beta...will I lose my bookmarks already in my current firefox browers and is that the same for the farmville game bar from facebook

    It should not be a problem, as long as you are careful. Note the delete settings option when uninstalling firefox will delete bookmarks etc for ALL installed versions of firefox.
    Firefox attempts to retain the profile information, that include bookmarks etc when updating. It may still be prudent to consider other backup methods not entirely dependent on firefox.
    The firefox 4 beta will install by default in a slightly different location, you are then able to run either the current or the beta version of firefox. It is recommended you set up a new profile for the new version of firefox. see

  • TWO Garageband Problems In ONE!!!

    Ok... Garageband has been making me fell not-so good lately as I have TWO annoying problems.  In both, I have been on MULTIPLE projects, and have restarted MULTIPLE times.  I am using an M-Audio Keystation 61 es USB keyboard to record my songs, except for a drum loop that I add in.
    Problem One: At the beginning of ANY song I open (even blank ones), there is a weird organ pitch in the first measure.  If it matters, it is an A flat.  I am in the default key, so I am confused why it is an A FLAT, which is seriously the most random key possible!
    Problem Two:  When I am recording, or listening to my song, it stops on a measure around 40 every time, (unless I am playing from 40 or really close to it) and I can't figure out why this is.  Does anyone know?
    Thanks!
    I am running Mountain Lion on a Macbook Pro 13-inch

    Nope, for problem 1.  This didn't help.  This problem starts even when there is no loops, and even no tracks!
    Number 2:  No, nothing significant starts here.  It's really random, like the 41.5th measure!  I don't know why it stops HERE!   Here are some screenshots (they are pretty normal though so be prepared)
