UK N97 Mini (white) Compatible w/US 3G???

Hi first time posting here/new potential Nokia user...basically looking for a White N97 Mini that is compatible to work on ATT's 3G frequencies, reason I ask is that th NokiaUK site shows the following: Operating Frequency Quad band EGSM 850/900/1800/1900 WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100 Automatic switching between GSM bands ...and from what I understand the European versions should not work with the US 3G (AT&T), appreciate any help, thanks for the time. *NokiaUSA only has the Black color for sale :/ Regards...

You'll have to find out which frequencies AT&T uses, as AFAIK the n97 mini has triband support for 3G
850/1900/2100 for the rest of the world
900/1900/2100 for NAM

N97 mini compatible with Maemo???

Does anyone know if the maemo OS will become available for the Nokia N97 mini. I really want maemo on my new N97 and I heard a rumor about a patch which enables the N97 mini to install maemo.

maemo on the n97 ???? Maybe in a different universe .
It can barely run the symbian^1 s60 v5 , its hardware is way too old, I mean it was way too old when it first showed up, the n95 has more chances on running s^3 or maemo (I didn't say its possible, I said it has more chances )
the n900 on the other hand can actually run symbian^3, now there has been a lots of talking about this, and the symbian developers said that this is very possible (some closed drivers are the problem) .
Reality is wrong....dreams are for real... 2pac .

Any motion game compatible for N97 mini,.plz sugge...

are there any motion sensing or gyro sensor games for N97 mini??

There are already several threads on here about Mac compatibility with the N97 series. Have a look through them to see if anyone has found a work-around.
You'd be best advised to check compatibility of products with Macs before buying as they don't seem particularly well supported by anyone, especially Nokia.
Although they are working on a Mac version of Ovi Suite 2, I doubt it's on anyones list of priorities.

N97 Mini works slowly with data!

I'm using N97 Mini and I feel that this model working very hard at:
- Delete data such as: photo, music, video... special when I select more than one file. It's even hardly to open Options menu. After deleting, it still shows files that i've deleted until one minute later.
- The Ovi suite works hard so. It works incorrect when sync photos. There're 2.000 photos in my library and only 800 photos in my phone (synced Photos ), and more. I tried to copy new files to my phone using "copy to the device" action. It takes an evening to do this, and when i browse photos, i realize there's duplicated files ( 2, 3, even 4 same files).
That's all slow things I realized until now.

Hi, I find aeiting files easier using computer connected via usb in mass storage, go to 'my computer, open E or F drive and add, remove or edit files there !
Just remember to set memory in use for messages back to E when you've disconnected phone as it resorts to C after usb connection.
Good Luck

Music Files and Memory Card On N97 mini

I,ve own my N97 mini for about a month now, been serving me well except for this problem...
I created a folder on the E:/ drive for storing musics I transfered via PC Siute but I noticed that I can't seem to find the onces I trasfered via Bluetooth. When I open the music player and refresh, it seems some of the musics are not added to it. When I open the folder I created for musics I see the songs there but when I go back to the music player it ain't there.
What can be done?
I added an 8G memory card to my phone and it's been misbehaving. Problems ranging from slow boot up and opening of applications to this error NOT ENOUGH MEMORY PLEASE DELETE SOME DATA whenever I try to open the music player. I understand that N97 mini can take upto 16G memory card but how come 8G gives it problems?

Why on EARTH are you transferring music by Bluetooth ??? Simply connect the phone to your computer by usb cable in Mass Media mode. The phone will show in 'My Computer' as an external hard drive E. Open it and your music folder will be there. Then drag and drop any music you want FROM your computer TO the 'Music' folder on your phone, safely disconnect the phone from computer, go to music player and refresh music, that's all there is to it !!

N97 mini: messages

Hi,
I have a very annoying problem with my new Nokia N97 mini.
When I get a message from someone, my phone is only showing me the number of this person instead of showing me the name of the person. This is very annoying because I don't know all those numbers...
Can please anyone help me? Because a lot of stores where I told my story couldn't help me.
Thanks

It will be multiple entries, you either have two manes attached to one number, or in settings in contacts you are either using multiple memories or sim memory, you need to set to Phone memory as source for caller ID to work. Best way to check for multiple entries is to go through your contacts in Ovi Suite, many posts on this subject, it's always multiple entry !!

N97 Mini Flash Lite Problem

Hey Guys, what happened with me maybe a minor issue but i wanna know how to solve it.
Here's what happened with my N97 mini: I had the flash lite 3.0 installed, so I downloaded The flash lite 3.1(4) from a link i found on Google. Now, when I go to youtube.com on the default symbian browser, I get the first "frame" of the video with sound but without the video; only first "frame" of the video appears. When I tap on the video for Fullscreen the web browser closes by itself and it shows to the homescreen, and something really weird happens: when i hide the widgets and show them again, it does it like i have the theme effects off.. but when i go to theme settings, its actually theme effects on. And it doesnt do the effects again untill i turn my phone off and then turn it on.
On the other hand, I guess this flash lite issue is causing a problem on video playback in realplayer. When I record a video with the camera and play it back, it does it without any problem and the file format is MP4. Though, when i send an MP4 video from my pc to the phone, the playback shows no picture.. just the sound.
Im sorry If I said too much, but i said everything that happened because i wanna know if its really the flash lite's problem.. or its something else?
And either way, whats the solution!? Please Guys I need ur help

A software update shouldn't cause a problem as the phone has data protection, just to be safe back up your contacts, but the phone should be fine anyway, simply re-install the software with Nokia Software Updater, and hoprfuly it will resolve your problem, if not , contact a Nokia Care Point, whatever the case , the phone definitely won't be any worse for a software install.
Good Luck

Download files from mac to N97 mini/WLAN

I can access the net through WLAN from my N97 mini, and download from anywhere except for my own Mac (snow leopard).
My wireless router can see the phone, and gives it an IP address, but I get nowhere when I key the address in on my mac.
ISync works OK for calendar and contacts.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I'm not that techy. but don't think N97 has share on home network (like N95 had) so I use either bluetooth or usb to transfer files (usb much faster) but I also use pc not mac. Hope someone with more technical knowledge can help'

N97 mini: a few questions (touchscreen, battery, k...

Hi all,
I have a few questions on the N97 mini I was hoping you guys could help me with:
touchscreen and navigation arrows: if I choose to, can I avoid to use the touchscreen and resort to the arrows in the keyboard? For example, to navigate in a web page
battery life: what's your experience so far?
keyboard: I understand this is very subjective, but how are you finding it? I hate to type on touchscreens. Do you find it convenient or is it annoying to open the sliding keyboard every single time?
I am considering moving from the E71 to the N97 mini, because an operator has a pretty good deal on it, and because I'd like a bigger keyboard and bigger screen, even though I understand this comes at the price of reduced battery life.

I have N97 and fully drain it before the end of the day and so have a spare battery, this is not because the phone or battery are bad ! It's because I am constantly using it, I have apps running all the time, watch video every lunch time, browse the web whenever I get a spare 5 minutes, txt and e-mail and even make the occasional call !! Lol
I have never used a phone as much as this one and was very 'anti touchscreen' before I got it, and only took the chance brcause of physical keypad, but I wouldn't go back, not saying E-series aren't good phones but 'fun factor' on a larger touch screen is massively more. Plus it will still do all the 'normal 'stuff fine. Give it a go

N97 mini - vibration stopped working!

hi!
i need help ,
since friday the vibration of my n97 mini stopped working !
its really wierd , not vibrating anymore when i touch the screen and when i receivce calls
sometimes it works for a min but then stops again.
i know i shuold take it to a lab but im looking for a way to try and solve this myself.
in teh settings everything is fine and in order.
waiting for help!
thank you!!!

try the following
NOTE: In front of the hash key ( #) there is also a STAR key that people often miss and state that the code does not work.
1.. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data) Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345.
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 ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, /GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. ) For Nokia N97 (unofficial version but works) is SHIFT /SPACE BAR / BACKSPACE while holding the power button. Again do not let go until you see the handshake screen.
If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance.

N97 Mini Start Up Problem

Apparently after rebooting my phone, my N97 Mini does not start up, instead, it shows a white screen with the word "NOKIA" and it's stuck there forever.
Googled the issues and I am not the only one who faces this problem, but the thing is, people cannot seem to find any solutions to this, I was hoping to get assistance over here. True enough I can bring my cellphone to the nearest Nokia Care Center, but how many times do I have to face this? And I'm lucky to have a spare phone with me, otherwise, travelling is going to be a problem for me because my phone is my essential.
Anybody has any solution to this?

I've encountered "stucked forever with white screen Nokia logo" problem for more than 5 times since I bought Nokia Mini for one month.It's really frustrating in the beginning. I know this will randomly happen. Well, it just happened again 2 days ago.
Here is my quick fix to undermine the impact.
1. Bought a 8GB SDHC card for mini.
2. Put all my favourite softwares' SIGNED sources (*.sisx) in SD card (F: drive in File manger).
3. Randomly backup Setting, Message, Contacts, Calendar in SD card.
I don't backup "Files" since I don't know what kind of files it backups and sometimes those files are large.
4.1 If the mini DEAD again(freezes at NOKIA booting logo), then Hard-Reset the N97 mini.
4 2 Go to backup Fucntion to restore your previous backups. (i.e. Setting, Message, Contacts, Calendar)
4.3 Go to File Manager and install your favourite softwares again from the SD card.
To install softwares directly from SD card is much faster and easier then from PC/Laptop.
Especially, when mini dead on the go or during the trip, you won't be worried about NO PC besides you.
ps. I don't put softwares and backups in Mass Memory because I may format it when needed.
Although "Crash" thing is still bothering sometimes, the quick fix makes me feel better(safe !?) and I still love using Mini.
Cheers,

N97 or N97 mini?

Im planing to buy a phone but dont know which to choose. As i know, the functions for both n97 n n97 mini is actually same. The different between them is the size, keyboard and fm transmitter i think. Any one can suggest which one i worth to buy? Im interested in n97 mini because of the improvement on the keyboard design but it took off the fm transmitter. Any one can suggest me? Thanks..

I am very happy with my N97 and prefer it to N97 mini, a work colleague just got one (Vodafone sent it as a substitute for N97 he had ordered) I helped him set it up, and found the smaller onscreen keypad less 'fat finger' friendly, and obviously, if media is a priority then the extra storage and bigger screen are favourable. I know there are many bad reports on N97, but you tend to find people go to forums with problems and complaints, not to praise phones. That's not to say there are no problems with the phone, but you will find problems on any forum for any make or model. I've been very lucky with my handset, I've spent many hours using it, adding apps, music, films etc and it is by far THE BEST PHONE I'VE EVER HAD !
Nokia tend to improve phones with software updates (N95 8Gig got better and better) and the N97 is already much better with V2.0. You pays your money and makes your choice, if you want minimal problems, get a really simple basic handset, if you want a really clever and entertaining smartphone I love my N97. Iphone aint perfect, omnia isn't and new sony ericcson has its faults, but the more complex a machine the more chance of problems !
Hope you enjoy whatever you choose.

N97 Mini questions

Hi Ive just got a few questions
is there a way to turn the vibration off for when you lock the keys using the slide button but keep vibration fr when receiving alerts?
is there a way to increase the vibration so its more noticable?
Is there a way to have the battery life show as a percentage rather then as bars on the homescreen?
Is there a way to increase batterry life?
Is there an emergency charger that is compatible with the N97 mini ?
I have seen small memory cards such as these http://www.foneshop.com/nokia/n97-mini/memory-cards/sandisk-16gb-micro-sd-transflash-memory-card
are these the type that are used in N97 minis?
My n97 mini currently has an 8GB memory card i believe, can I install a 16GB card into it? will that effect anything badly?
How would I go about that? Is there an easy way to transfer all the data between those memory cards?
Is there an application for the N97 mini that will track busses (i live in York UK so i would mostly be interested in busses there)

Well I only got the phone yesterday, so I'm not exactly an expert ;-)
But some I can answer.
Battery life. If you're not using the features, consider keeping WLAN and BlueTooth OFF. Dont check mail automatically too often (and perhaps only in daytime) et cetera
The phone is charged through a standard micro-usb-plug. So should be easy to find alternative chargers.
Yep, thats the type. Standard Micro-sd(hc) ...alias transflash
The 8GB is build in mem, not a card. So YES a 16GBworks and is usefull, and supplements the 8Gb, giving you a total of 24Gb.
Plain files (Like photos, videos, mp3's) can be transfered e.g. by standard windows if connected in mass storage mode. Some apps (Like Ovi maps, needs to be told the prefered storage location in the app-settings)
And on the vibration, I dont think there is much hope on the extremely (close to useless) weak vibrator. I THINK it's due to a conventinal placement on a slim body.

N97 mini arrrghh

hi, im on my second n97 mini and had to do a hard reset recently , since then the updater ap on the phone tells me theres a firmware update to v12. something- mine is on v10.something. i have tried updating thru nsu but it cant detect the phone and the ovi suite updater finds the update , attempts to install it and stalls halfway thru telling me usb connection lost. i tried letting it hang for an hour and tried reconnecting the phone as it said to. i uninstalled nsu and ovi 3 thimes and no joy- its still the same . can anyone help??

Try removing ALL Nokia/Ovi software from your computer, including any drivers etc, then run Nokia PC cleaner. Then try a clean install of Ovi Suite, see if that helps !
Good Luck
