Various N80 problems

Hello all!
I'm a new Nokia N80 owner.. I've used SE's for the past 6 years and thought it was time to move to a smarter phone..
Well.. I've had the phone a month and it's all gone wrong, several times.
Firstly my photos stored on my phone and on my 1 gig memory card were no longer showing up on the phones gallery and the only way to access them was to view through the File Mgr. application. This would take forever and a day to load... but eventually they did.
I thought the smart thing to do would be to upload the latest firmware.. I did this and the phone died a horrid death giving me the 'Contact retailer' message after booting up.
I tried the hard reset etc and nothing worked so I took it to carphone warehouse who told me it would be ready to collect free of charge in 24 hours.
I returned the very next day to be told the phone had been sent away and could take up to 4 weeks.
Anyway, last week Thursday I received my phone back and woopie, it turns on and functions.. only.. it functions to the extent it did before i tried and failed the firmware update.
So.. my current problems:
I cannot view images / movies in the gallery
When I use the datacable it automatically disconnects itself just toward the end of doing whatever action it is doing.. such as:
I tried to move the images from my phone to my desktop pc .. it moves the files then brings up the window to tell me it is deleting the files from the phones card memory.. around the 75% mark it tells me connection to the phone has been lost.. even if I do not touch the phone, the pc and am in another room! My USB sockets are fine it is not them!!
PLEASE!!! Any help would be most gratefully received and I would do a big smile.
Ta.
Jamie

Don't understand this: I've never had this problem with my N80 - even using old firmware.
My guess - and that's all it is - is that maybe you had too many pictures for the gallery to cope with (the fact it takes a long time to open the directory in File Manager suggest you have a LOT of files in there) ..

Usually this is because the connector at the bottom of the phone is dire. Basically, if you so much as breath near the PC, the cable or the phone you get a brief interruption to the connection and everything fails.
Sounds like this may not be your problem, though. You could try uninstalling and re-installing the cable drivers on your PC, but I don't hold out much hope.
I think I would go for using Bluetooth (slow, though) or a card reader (fast, if you have one but no good for synching contacts etc).

In this case I would simply disable the delete option in the Image Store Settings and delete the pictures using File Manager on the phone - if you use Mark All and delete it's fast to do.

    What do you mean by reboot? Do you mean restore? Because if you haven't restored, then that's the next step. You'll need a computer with the latest version of iTunes and a USB connector.

  • Hang on restart and various other problems

    Hi everyone,
    I hope someone can shed some light on what's going on with my MacBook Pro. Since having purchased it in August 2006 (my previous Powerbook was stolen!) i've had the experienced the following issues:
    1. The computer almost always hangs on restarts (not shutdowns). The restart does not seem to complete the final stage and a dim light remains at the front. In addition, i can hear the hard drive spinning
    2. Sometimes when starting the machine (usually after hard shutdowns thanks to the first point) the computer does not boot up. Instead, it returns to a similar state as above: dim light, spinning hard drive, but no screen, no startup chime and i believe the CD drive doesn't spin up either.
    3. The Above problem is only resolved by leaving the machine to rest for about 10 minutes. I have tried removing the battery, disconnecting and reconnecting the AC supply, resetting the PMU, holding down the reset PRAM buttons, but nothing works aside from leaving the machine for a while. Please note that this is not an overheating issue.. it happens when the machine is running relatively cool also.
    4. Lately my MacBook Pro has begun to shutdown instead of hibernating when the battery runs low. I don't realise until i plug in the remains and press the power button when the keyboard wake doesn't do anything.
    5. Over the last few weeks i've noticed the battery life deteriorating rapidly. Yesterday it gave me 15 minutes following a full charge!! I decided to put the battery in a fridge for a while and it seems to have helped, but something is seriously wrong here.
    6. Having installed the Core Duo temperature monitor last night i noticed that the processor was running at 82 degrees centigrade at one point. While that may be normal, since that time it has generally run at between 50 and 60 degrees. I'll be keeping my eye on this one.
    7. Previously i had trouble with the computer freezing, leaving me unable to move the cursor. Surprisingly, i was always able to escape from this by pressing the power button once. the cursor would then move again and i would cancel the shutdown. This problem seems to have fixed itself by resetting the PRAM a while ago.
    8. Lastly, and probably unrelated to the above, the CD drive sometimes sounds as though it is rubbing against a casing while spinning and the noise can be a bit distracting. Also, i have noticed that if i move the machine while burning CDs the burn will fail. I don't put a great deal of pressure on the area around the CD drive and it seems a bit sensitive to me.
    Other info:
    I have reinstalled the OS twice and the problems are still there.
    I have reset the PMU and PRAM more times than i can remember.
    The laptop has receied no blows or other damage and the problems have existed since purchase
    I Installed Bootcamp at purchase (needed Windows for some accountancy software) and thought that the problems might be related to this, bit have since removed it various times and finally decided to remove it permanently recently. I reformatted the whole drive, did a fresh install reset the PMU and PRAM (again!) and downloaded all updates from apple. The problems remain. :S
    Help! I absolutely love my macs... i just wish this one would work right!
    Thanks in advance for your observations/advice.

    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2.16Ghz 2Gb RAM

    Any idea what piece of hardware might be at fault?
    No… although these types of issues are usually logic board related when it is determined to be hardware.
    Am i right in thinking this?
    Yes, you can take it into any Apple Store/Service Centre in the US, and worldwide, and have it repaired.

  • N80 Problem. Pls Help!!!!

    My N80 has a big problem. After installing the latest firmware V5.0719.0.2 RM-92 through nokia updater, I cant hear sound from my ear piece. The keytone sound has gone eventhough is activited in the profile. I can only use the loudspeaker to hear sound and voice from call.
    Is it the firmware problem or my hardware????
    If it is the firmware problem, how can I reinstall the previous version?
    Pls help!!!

    Yes, that sounds just like a worn ribbon cable. Perhaps you should get it replaced. I am not sure where you are but supposedly it only costs RM50 (€12)to replace in Malaysia, so not too expensive.

  • Nokia n80 problem with bluetooth

    hello all
    i have an n80 which i have given to my mother.
    there seems to be a problem with bluetooth. i can connect it to my laptop by bluetooth and use the connection to browse the phone and transfer files but for some reason when i try to sync with outlook the connection always fails, all the time, no matter what.
    can anyone think of any reason for this?
    i have tried looking for firmware updates as i havent used the handset for 18mths but i cant find the pc cable so it wont identify the phone when i run a search.
    any suggestions (apart from find the cable!) will be appreciated

    Not being technically qualified enough on specifications of Bluetooth 3 all I can say is that Bluetooth SDP = Service Discovery Protocol seems to be absent fron N8, whereas it is present on say 5800XM and N97 Mini which appear to behave faultlessly with Toyota Bluetooth unit if this sheds any light.
    Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

  • IPad 2 won't get past apple logo and various other problems...

    I knew I shouldn't have updated to iOS 8, my iPad was getting increasingly slower with each software update since I bought it a few years ago.
    A few weeks ago the first problem arose - the home button suddenly became unresponsive. Initially it would work on about 1 in 10 clicks, but then nothing at all. I managed to get to settings to turn on accessibility features and the gestures to replace the home button so that wasn't much of problem, just annoying. I tried various things online that people claimed fixed this issue but nothing happened.
    Then about a week ago it suddenly wouldn't wake up in the morning. I tried turning it on and it would get to the apple logo and stay there for a couple of minutes then go black again. I plugged it into iTunes and restored it etc hoping something would happen but of course nothing did.
    And I obviously can't reset it on the device itself due to the home button being completely dead.
    I left it for a few days then today I came back to it and tried to plug it into iTunes again and now iTunes won't recognise that it's plugged into my macbook at all.
    Basically does anyone have any advice or should I just accept that it's dead at this stage and give up? Let me down gently!

    Hi there SraZamora,

  • Another N80 PROBLEM (I think?)

    i was stupid enough to get an N80 on ORANGE... eversince the phones constantly connecting to orange internet without even a warning!
    has anyone else had this problem or do you think its the sim
    is there anything i can do to fix it!

    Seraphin,
    Dont know what your problem is but you seem to constantly be giving insults to people who dont conform to your ideas or suggestions here.
    I have spoken to many people who are not happy about the operator firmware because of problems it gives them because of restrictions and the way that the operator configures the phone so that you have to use their sevices, especially in the begining withought realizing and actualy being charged a large amount of money for these services.
    I made one suggestion that somebody can take or not, its up to them, not you..the suggestion wasnt meant for you.
    I know many people who have upgraded from network specific firmware to non network specific firmware, and some of those upgrades were done at Nokia sevice centers and the warantees on those phones are still intact. This rightly or wrongly has been explained to them by the NSC and if there is a problem with warantee then this is the problem of the NSC that the upgrade was made.
    please keep your personal insults to yourself, or as I have suggested to you before PM me and I will answer you directly, as you keep telling us to the point that its getting boring, these forums are for help and advice, I dont see insults either helpull or good advice.

  • Windows 8.1 - various Skype problems

    My first post, I can't find a solution for these problems, hopefully someone can help.
    I've been helping a friend with her Windows 8.1 PC and various issues she has had with it.
    The one area that seems to be a persistent issue is using Skype.
    The issues is that when she receives a call there are sometimes one, sometimes two Answer / Answer with Video / Decline sets of buttons. When clinking Answer the ringing tone continues although she can then be talking to the caller. Even when the visible Skype has been closed the ringing continues - though there's then a Skype icon in the System Tray which can't be closed, or anything else done with it. The only way to stop the ringing is to go to Administration / Services and Stop the Skype process - not ideal.
    There are other Skype issues seemingly related to two Skypes running. She's often said to me that it always looks as if there are two Skypes running.
    Although the Skype integration with her Hotmail has been removed, and her Skype account disconnected both from her Hotmail & Facebook accounts, the problem persists.
    The PC is set up so that that old style desktop is in use virtually all of the time. Skype 6.21 is installed on that desktop. There is no Skype visible on the Widows 8.1 Start screen nor in the Apps list there. At one time Skype 'modern' was installed but that was uninstalled. The only Skype in Control Panel/Programs is Skype 6.21. I seem to recall reading that Win 8 'Modern' Apps don't appear in that list. In which case where is V.3.1 (see later) coming from?
    I ran Belarc Advisor on it and it shows 3 Skype entries in the Software Versions & Usage section:
    Skype - Skype Version 3.1.1005
    Skype Technologies - Skype Updater Service Version 6.8
    Skype Technologies - Skype Version 6.21
    So Belarc is reporting 2 Skypes (I've ignored the Updater as that is presumably associated with 6.21). I've no idea where V.3.1 is, what its effect is or might be, I can see no reason - apart from historical - for it to be showing.
    Is Belarc mis-reporting V.3.1?
    Is there a remnant of V.3.1 that's causing the problem?
    I've installed Revo Uninstaller but it only shows V.6.21.
    How can I completely dispose of V.3.1?
    Whether or not this is the problem I don't know, but clearly I have to deal with the problems that I can see and eliminate everything possible.
    Any thoughts on how to progress?
    Many thanks for taking the time to read this far, I realise I probably haven't written a very clear post but hopefully there's enough sense in to give the picture and, hopefully, help someone to point me in the right direction to resolve the issue.

    Please try these steps:
    Reducing simultaneous connections for incorrectly configured servers
    https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Using#Reducing_simultaneous_connections_for_incorrectly_configured_servers
    Make sure that you close connection as soon as you are done with them, as some ftp clients will generally leave their connection open unless told otherwise. Additionally, some clients such as Filezilla will allow multiple connections for any new activity,
    which uses up connections quickly. While this does make for faster transfers.
    I use mostly Cute FTP and I have been sometimes doing it to just close ftp software (Alt+F4) and not closing connection; but the point is that when you have been connected then you must close connection properly as well.

  • N80 problems with 02 sim

    When my N80 has an 02 pay-as-you-go sim card in, I get a "General: System Error" every time I try to read an SMS message. This effectively hangs the phone and I have to remove the battery to stop the beeping and carry on the error causes.
    If I put in my Telstra sim card, then there is no problem (even with the same messages).
    I used the Nokia Software updater to confirm that the firmware was current (it is) but tried reinstalling it all anyway, which made no difference.
    Any clues as to what I can do to correct this problem? My N80 was purchased in Singapore, and is not under contract to any UK service provider.

    Is it something to do with the sim having to be registered for the 3g network? I'm sure somebody had the same problem when they first got an N80 as the sim supplied was not 3G
    Is that an N95 in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?!?
    Life's too important to take seriously.
    Nokias I've owned 3210, 3310, 6100, 7650, 6600, 6680, 6630, N80, N95

  • Various Photoshop problems (streaks, updates, zoom function)

    Hello there,
    since i switched from Mac to PC, i am encountering various Problems with my Version of Photoshop CS6.
    I am working on a i7 Mac, 32 GB Ram, Asus Sabertooth x79 Board and a GeForce 660 Card.
    Rightnow the biggest problem i am experiencing is this one:
    This is what pictures randomly look like when i am reopening them after saving.
    I have no idea where this comes from. Its happing with Pictures i shot with my Leica S2 and my Nikon D800E.
    Second Problem (no longer a porblem, got this one fixed):
    I am not able to update Photoshop
    Error code: U44M2P7
    Third Problem:
    Once i am using the magnifier in Photoshop the pictures window will resize. This can be pretty annoying. I have both options turned off, means it should not resize. Its working perfectly on my iMac.
    Thanks for helping,
    Nick

    Yes, you can get similar patterns from RAM or VRAM failures.
    If other applications that use OpenGL show similar problems, then you may need to replace the video card or RAM.
    IIRC that update error is because the updater can't find some components - as if they'd been deleted or moved since Photoshop was installed.  The usual solution to that is to reinstall 13.0 then reapply the updates.
    (and yes, I wish the updater/installer provided more useful error messages)

  • Production Premium Causing Various Computer Problems

    I recently installed Adobe Production Premium CS5 on my iMac.  Ever since doing so, all of my other programs (including Safari, Skype, DVD player, and various others) randomly close.  My computer randomly shuts off and logs me out, and sometimes doesn’t even make it to the desktop upon startup.  The only programs that are not currently malfunctioning are the Adobe programs.  I believe that these problems are being caused by the installation of the software.  I’ve updated my RAM and all the hardware to Adobe's recommended settings.  Is there any way I can stop this?  It’s getting really frustrating (I had to reopen Safari three times just to type this).

    Manually delete the caps.db in the caps folder:
    Important Directories
    Bob does have a point, though. Installing and using CS3 on Win8 is going to be all sorts of trouble, regardless.

  • IBook Can't See HD/Various HD Problems/Various Install Problems

    My iBook started having problems with the HD a while ago, since it was out of warranty, I decided to replace it myself. This worked for a while but then my iBook wouldn't boot from it anymore. I put it away for a while (already have my iMac and Eee PC) until I decided to work on it recently.
    First, I replaced the HD again but still had various problems (don't remember exactly what). I ran various disk utility programs and would always have problems with the drive (which has been replaced twice now).
    Right now I'm trying to work on it again since I'd really like to get this working. I bought another HD (after returning the previous) along with a new (used) ribbon cable off ifixit.com. At first my iBook saw the drive and booted off the OS X Install DVD. So far so good while I'm installing until the install fails and brings up the logs and I/O errors.
    I try again and the same thing. Right now I tried formatting the drive again, but after a restart Disk Utility shows my drive with the volume titled "disk0s3" in grey lettering (this happened several times before). Trying to repair the drive brings up the error "The underlying task reported failure on exit" with the small log showing "Invalid B-tree node size / Volume check failed", although the SMART status says verified. I can format the drive and it passes Verify Drive and Repair Drive fine.
    Although at this point I'm sure none of these specifics are relevant, since it's impossible for it to be the HD. Is it possible there's some underlying problem internally that's causing my iBook to incorrectly handle a hard drive?

    Sorry to be the bearer of such sad news. You might especially review the post by spudnuty in that thread, as it does mention the possibility of a soldering failure which could possibly be repaired by a specialist. I have no idea if this is feasible or what it might cost, but when my logic board had problems, I sent it off for a $75 reball and it came back and has been working perfectly ever since. Here's where I sent it.
    http://www.superiorreball.com/
    If you really love this computer, it may be worth a call to Dale at Superior and ask if this is something that is fixable and what it might cost.
    The other alternative is just to plan to boot from an external drive, which does not involve the ATA bus used for the internal drive. This is likely worth doing as it's always good to have a spare computer, even if it isn't quite as portable as it used to be.
    Happy Computing!

  • Various 8800 problems

    Have read the various posts under 8800 and agree;
    1.battery life is appalling - lasts a day with 30-60 min of call time and a few texts, back of phone is too fiddly to remove to bother changing batteries.
    2.i also have a strip across the screen that is slightly altered where the screen saver time strip is, seems to be there on all backgrounds.
    also
    1.why under 'go to' on left hand button is there no option for inbox? it's been there on other nokias and is really useful
    2.sound is very quiet, even on maximum
    3.on answering a call whether it's by opening the case or pressing 'answer' with the case opened or closed, callers have complained of hearing a loud screeching noise - has anyone else had this problem?
    so in summary, to quote a magazine review, the nokia 8800 is like a ferrari with the engine of a morris minor!
    How could Nokia get a phone that is fairly expensive and supposedly a business phone so wrong.... one plus point though - i haven't managed to scratch the screen yet....!

    Your battery could be faulty, get a replacement one and see if it performs better.
    I think your screen has some damaged and it may have to be fixed.
    You can customize the list of options shown in the Go To menu, consult you phone manual on how to do this.
    You might want to try another phone with two speakers for better sound (like the 6233)
    Regarding the sound callers hear, I think your phones microphone might have a problem.
    You should take your phone to a Nokia Service Centre ASAP.

  • Various Lion problems

    I bought a new MBP after Christmas loaded with Lion.  I transferred all my files from my older MBP and started to work.  I bought the Thunderbolt to VGA adapter to use with a second monitor.  Various problems have occurred.  None are fatal.  All are annoying.
    1)  Occasionally the second monitor blanks out.  It goes black for several seconds, then returns.  Usually, I am playing Zuma's revenge.
    2) Spotlight has gone crazy.  When I click on Show all in Finder, I get what looks like half the files in the computer.  The option to show only Filenames makes no difference.  I have gone to preferences and selected only a few items to show, but it shows email contents, which I don't want, and tons of irrelevant files.
    3) Occassionally, the computer will not accept clicks on windows.  It will not respond to cmd-W to close a window.  Frequently, I have to use the Activity Monitor to quit a stuck application.
    4) Use Seamonkey as my browser and email client.  It will freeze occasionally.
    5) The gestures don't work half the time.  Sometimes I get a gesture I didn't ask for.  I am sure my very dry fingers don't trigger things consistently, but this is behavior makes most gestures useless.
    When these hassles are not acting up (about 95% of the time), the computer is a joy to use.
    I'll stop here.  Looks like Lion needs a round of upgrades.

    No.
