Whats with Nokia

Nokia make good phone and the techs but what are there releasing schedule up to they are releasing a phone every 1 month with better specs but same price.
For example the N86 has been annouced soon and N85 has just been released and still its gonna cost about the same amount and N97 is announced on 31st of March for the same amount of N96.
Nokia need to fix this

You've got your dates wrong. The N97 isn't out until June according to nokia at the MWC. The 31st of March date was a rumour started by a sales blog that claimed it to be official.
The N86 won't be available until Q2 which is April, May or June. The N85 was available in September/October last year in some countries so it's hardly "just released". Are you are confusing it with the fact that some networks have only just started selling it?
The problem is that a lot of these phones are very similar spec'd aimed at specific market sectors but all perform well as generalists too.

What went wrong with Nokia Messaging?

What went wrong with Nokia Messaging?
In the beginning of this year I used Nokia Messaging on E71 and I really loved it!
Since this autumn I am using it on my new N97 and I am confronted with totally different experience:
- the application is very slooooow..
- its unreliable - very ofter emails arrive with hours delay, a sync may take up to minutes
- its very very buggy - truncated icons, diplay randomly jumping up and down, when scrolling.
- very bad HTML display of emails - tiny (unreadable) default font and no wrap to screen when zooming - I thought emails were for reading?
- many, many usability issues
I just cannot believe it - How has Nokia managed to convert once such a good piece of software into such incredible disaster?
Recently an update was published - I tried it immediately... To my big disappointment it contains all the same bugs and introduces new ones..
How is this possible? What is happening at Nokia?

Also my N86 as the same problem.
And in global setting Nokia deleted the option to read always in HTML.
And there is not any option to write html Mails

Problems with software the update with Nokia 6233

Problems with software the update with Nokia 6233
Hello,
I have so far some-paints tries my software to update.
Each time the update procedure begins, sometime stands then on the telephone “test mode”.
On the computer wars I the reference in the update manager “connection to the telephone broken off” and wants the update to again start.
If I change my profile attitudes since that for example, then after a telephone restart again deleted.
What there can I make?

It sounds like your 5800 has the earpiece fault that was common with 5800's made before February.
You need to take it to a nokia care point for repair under warranty.

The issue of firmware on operator-variant models is a common sore point on these boards.
Unfortunately, Nokia's hands are tied. The operators have to approve new versions of the software before they can be applied to any phone sold to them by Nokia as their own variant.
You will probably find that the operators' customer service staff are trained only to give advice on network services, if you want answers on issues other than that you need to locate the operator's head office and pester them. If you are a contract customer, that address should appear on your bill.

Problem with Nokia CK-7W HandsFree Car Kit

My wife recently bought a new car and the dealership installed a CK-7W bluetooth kit for us. However, we're having a really annoying problem with it.
Every so often, at completely random times, the stero in the car switches off for just a second and a really loud and annoying "beep" comes through the car speakers. At first I thought it was something to do with the cars settings so I searched through the car manual and even phoned the dealership back. However, the guy who sold it to me didn't know what the problem was and advised me to bring it back to them.
It's a while until I can get back to the dealership, but I'm pretty sure the problem lies with the bluetooth kit rather than the car. The reason I say this is because the annoying beep coincides with whenever the bluetooth connection is lost with the mobile phone it's paired with i.e. I think the beep is happening when the bluetooth kit is switching itself off.
My wife has a Sony Ericsson phone and I have a Nokia. I don't think the problem lies with the phones, because it happens no matter which phone is paired with it. It also happens when there isn't even a phone in the car or when both of our phones have the bluetooth switched off!
The manual provided with the kit (and available for download on this website) is totally useless. It barely explains how to use the kit properly or what each of the buttons/dials does. Also, there's a little light on the remote control button. Sometimes it's on, sometimes it's off, but most of the time it flashes. The manual says "The indicator light has three states: On. Flashing. Off." But, totally unhelpfully, it doesn't say what each of these states mean!!
My guess is that the bluetooth kit is randomly switching itself on and off, and then when it does switch off that is when the beep happens. But the very unhelpful manual provided with the kit is giving me no clues as to whether this is normal or not, or how to stop it happening.
The random beep drives us absolutely crazy. It's really loud and makes you jump whenever it happens and there appears to be now way even to turn it down! It's spoling our enjoyment of the new car. I cannot believe this is normal for this bluetooth kit and I feel fairly sure there must be a simple way to turn this beep off. But as I say, the manual is totally useless, so I'm turning ti this board for help!
Please someone help me with this! Do you think I've got a faulty kit or is there a simple way to cure this problem?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi daveduck
I expect that they were happy to charge you enough, but why fit an outdated unit such as CK-7W to a new vehicle? It doesn't have noise canceling features such as newer CK-100 anyway and you would probably be disappointed with it's performance if trying to use newer phones. If one of you was using cradle connection and the other Bluetooth, I might have seen a rationale behind fitting this unit with reservations.
There is a way of stopping the "beeps" if the permanent +ve red wire is connected to same source as the IGN +ve Blue wire so unit reboots each time ignition is switched on, rather than being left permanently on.
The going rate for using a non-accredited Nokia carkit installer is a bit cheaper for the dealer but you have got the worst of both world's, a fitter not really familiar with Nokia products and poor advice.

N95 in-car use - what are Nokia playing at?!

I have for some time been using a Nokia 6680 in my car, using a ck-7w car kit and a cr-27 holder. This works great, I have handsfree calling, I can charge my phone whenever I get in the car by putting it in the cradle & I have tomtom 5 mobile which works great, even muting the radio to give directions etc because it all integrates nicely.
Now Nokia have brought out the N95 and I thought great, satnav and phone in one device. So I have upgraded.
Guess what? Nokia N-series devices are "consumer" devices which don't get a special in-car holder. You what?!
The N95 works fine with the ck-7w using bluetooth, but it doesn't have a pop-port so you can't use the ck7w cable. The only way to use it in the car is with a generic holder and a cigarette lighter charger. There is no custom holder for it. To be honest I would be happy even if all the holder did was charge the phone and hold it - I'm happy with bluetooth connection to the car kit.
This has to be the most brain dead thinking from Nokia I have ever seen. I have been using Nokia phones with car kits since the 2010, 2140, nk702 (6130), 6110, 6210, 6310 & 6680. Like I said, my 6680 has tomtom mobile 5 sat nav installed. But guess what, the N95, a phone with BUILT IN SAT NAV has no in-car charger cradle, so you can't use it neatly in a car?!?!

[quote]Can anyone who has this working explain the process to get a bluetooth connection from the N95 to the CK-7W? I just seem not to be able to pair the two.[/quote]
Hi, I've got this working. I have a holder for the 6680 in place using cable connection as well. Haven't tried to connect them both at the same time, but I guess that's not what you want.
To get this working. In my situation, the carkit when using my 6680 always works. I don't need to have the keys. For the bluetooth connection I do have to have the power on (turn the key until you can play your radio, onboard lights turn on, etc.). After you turn on the power, let your N95 search for a new bluetooth device. In my situation, it found the CK-7W in just a few seconds. Then pair with the device using the 0000 password.Message Edited by jarnodewit on 29-Apr-200702:30 PM

Special characters issue with Nokia Maps on N95

Hi there,
when using Navigation in conjunction with Nokia Maps on my N95, all streets and towns which contain any special character in their name (for example: é, è, ü, ä, ö, etc…) do appear as unreadable garbage on the screen of the N95.
I only noticed the problem after having purchased the 3 years license Navigation upgrade (EUR 99.99) and immediately notified Nokia. That was back in October. Since then I have called them at least 10 times and ultimately I have asked for a refund as no solution is still available.
In all these calls with Nokia, the only reasonable argument I heard was that maybe (!!!) the new software update version 20.0.015 released back at the end of November could solve the issue. Unfortunately, for my phone (which is a branded one) the update is not yet available.
Today, after calling them again, I was told that Nokia’s policies do not foresee refunds and therefore my request has been rejected. I was told to bring my phone to a Nokia Store and see if they can help me (I don’t see how). I was also told that maybe I would have to send-in the phone for repair.
This is soooo frustrating that despite the 3 months of patience and all the money spent for the N95 (not quite cheap), the navigation upgrade and the phone calls to Nokia, I still have the same issue. I will probably end up filing a complaint with a monthly consumer’s magazine in the hope they will publish my story.
After all, it may not even be Nokia’s fault but rather the guys who are responsible for the maps, but if Nokia accepts to have a commercial venture with a vendor, than they also accept liability for the joint product. And by turning down my legitimate request for refund, they have proven not to give a **bleep** about people like you and me.
Forgive me for the long post - needed to release some of the frustration...

I have been using an N95-8GB since Nov.'07. From my experience with this phone that has a built-in mass memory besides the phone memory. I had trouble retrieving some of the softwares I have installed. For eg. I have saved some themes in the mass memory & I could not find it when I want to delete it. There are some 3rd parties games software inside where I cannot even delete
This is what I don't like about the phone. I have bought an N82/Black recently as it uses an external memory card.
Coming back to Nokia maps. Personnaly, I don't think they are that good & I have problem downloading it into my phone from my PC after having downloaded it from Nokia.
By the way the Nokia map is not even the latest map 2.0. Is still a 1.0
I used Navfone map software & it works OK in the 8GB. You have to purchase it.
I have used a couple of N-series phones in the past ie. N-90, N-70, N-71, N-73, N-80/Black, N95, N-95/8GB & now N-82.
Common with all N-series phones. After you have disconnected when you are done with your call you have to wait for a while before the word "disconnected" disappears.
The more features it has, the more problem you are gonna to encounter.
Unless you want to download softwares into your phone & have a good camera thats where the N series phones come in.
For normal usage, a 40 series phone will suffice.

If you reinstalled the OS again from Nokia, you may just have a defective phone and there could be something wrong with the hardware. I have two N9's and I haven't experience any of these problems.
Can you record these problems and post the link to youtube here so I can see what's happening?

Updating nokia3110c with nokia software updater - ...

I tried to update my nokia3110c with nokia software updater but failed every time. I think it is because of poor quality of my internet connection. My network provider doesn't support the update using phone . Is their any other way to download an install the updates. Because I can download other files without any problem. Or how I can change the settings to fix this problem

If you are unsuccessful at updating your phone via NSU, as it does require a stable and decent internet connection speed as you have stated, then explore other options such as updating at a friend or other family member's house on their computer. If you are still not having any success, then visit your local Nokia Care Centre and get them to update your phone to the latest firmware available.
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

Problem:Image capture with Nokia 6020

Hi,
i want an idea about the issue of "Image Capture" from midlet.
I tried my image capture application with SonyEricsson W550 it is working fine, and
I tried the same appliaction with[b] i-mate SP3(Windows CE mobile)and with Nokia 6020 ("Both are MIDp2.0 support "), the application not even loaded and the exception as javax.microedition.media.MediaException
one more thing the value of System.getProperty("video.snapshot.encodings"); become null.
Please tell me what are all the mobiles will support the ImageCapture from Midlet.
some exact (supporting)mobile models please...
Thankyou,

Hi,
The sun article says 3650 will support the MMApi options even its MIDP 1.0, then what about MIDP 2.0 devices(6020).
Somebody said even some devices may MIDP2.0, but it may not be the complete implementation device.
What is mean that .... like either supporting only audio ???

Hi,

Thanks.

Moderator's note: Subject was amended as the post was moved to the more appropriate board.

Got a feeling that application was removed from Nokia Store due to expired Symbian Certificate. If you find application elsewhere may need to alter date upon N95 back to mid 2012 or perhaps 2011 to get it to install, and then revert to present day.
