davy how do i check the product code i tried the *#0000# and got type rm 505.
also the phone was checking for a licence a msg came up connection failed

Davy · 20-11-2009 11:42pm

Click on my sig, will help you check or change the product code.

You haven't setup your data connections yet since getting the phone back from mprc im guessing? Thats why you would have gotten the connection error

Just got my N97 mini today and thanks for all the tips.

Also regarding firmware. The latest for the N97 Mini is 10.0.020

batman2000 · 24-11-2009 6:36pm

Can I ask a question. On the home screen (N97 Mini), how do I edit and remove the pre-loaded content and add shortcuts for speed dials and calender events.?

Also, My N97 Mini have software V10.0.020. And Ovi and POC Suite say no updates are available. Is this different to the N97 as that is on V20.?
Does my N97 Mini have kinetic scrolling or passive.?

Cheers

**EDIT Content: Sorry just found out. The content is named Favourite contacts and not speed dials. Must see if I can change the Shortcuts 1, 2 etc.)

Yesterday on my n97 mini, when I removed the headset, the headset icon stayed on. Meaning the phone thought it was still connected and I couldn't use it without reconnecting the headset again to talk to people. After browsing a few sites it seems its a common problem. One of the contacts did not push out when the headset jack was removed, it can be pulled out with a pin, and problem solved.

Must say, I really dont like the headphones that came with it. They are impossible to keep in on a windy day like today :mad:

samhail · 25-11-2009 10:26am

Thats a bit of a pain, havign to get a pin at it every time you use your headphones.

i havnt opened a set of Nokia earphones in about 3 phones now

good ould 3.5mm connector

I've heard that Vodafone may offer a laser pico projector along with an N97 as a promotion this Christmas. The projector is the ShowWX by Microvision. Does anyone know anything about this?

Nialloo24 · 03-12-2009 8:26pm

Hi all, I updated my fw on my n97 to version 20.0.019 a while back with no problems. I tried to update my wifes fw on her n97 and keep getting message no updates available. Her fw version is 12.0.024
Both phones were purchased in a vodafone shop on contract.
Is anyone else having the same problem?
Does anyone know how i can update her fw?
Thanks

any one know where the official nokia care centres are? im sick of touch screen problems with my n97

mickoneill30 · 08-12-2009 12:40pm

Handy app I just found. I tried setting up SIP on my N97 as I ring abroad a lot. It was a pain in the ass and I coudn't get it working. There's an app on Ovi Store called Nimbuzz. Took about 10 seconds to configure and now I can use SIP on the phone. I don't know why Nokia have to make some stuff so fiddly on S60.

mobile phone repair company in sandyford in dublin would be the best place to send it. Other repair centres will just reflash the firmware

Dirk_digbee · 16-12-2009 3:24am

I'm in the same boat.
I was talking to a dude on the o2 forum about it,

http://forums.o2online.ie/forums/showthread.php?t=7193

Apparently the FW update was approved in October

http://forums.o2online.ie/forums/showpost.php?p=85768&postcount=10

Why NSU hasn’t pushed through the update I don’t know. It’s really annoying me as I can’t get to a Nokia centre and I don’t want to void my warranty.
I might try ringing them again tomorrow.

Keith186 · 16-12-2009 1:19pm

Hey lads is it worth upgrading to the n97 from an n95? I can get a good price on a sim free one and sell my n95 so would probably set me back 180 or so. Ive heard bad things about the firmware and touchscreen and s60 being outdated. Does the latest firmware resolve most issues? One i can get would be debranded so no waitin on o2!

samhail · 16-12-2009 1:23pm

i wouldnt hesitate

Dirk_digbee · 16-12-2009 2:23pm

Personally, I really do like the N97 but if I could choose again I would have held off for the N900 and kept my N95 8Gb

pah · 16-12-2009 2:37pm

Got N97 having had N95-8GB for 2 years, gave N95 to GF. I really like it and I wold recommend it, upgraded to 2.0 FW straight away so didn't know much about early problems.

Check out onlne reviews, they're mostly unbiased, highlighting good/bad points in the phone.

Make sure that you have the most up to date Nokia Software Updater, this was what was stopping me from updating mine!

its on v2.4.1.en at the moment.

DubOnHoliday · 16-12-2009 3:21pm

cant anyone suggest a decent (not too expensive) set of earphones for this phone? The nokia wh-701 that come with it are rubbish!

Boxfresh · 16-12-2009 6:16pm

Any headphone will do as long as it's got a 3mm jack. Basically the more money you pay, the better the sound quality.

Just updated NSU on my work laptop, in the bottom right hand corner it reads v1.8.10en? And it stills tells me i'm up to date

Edit:
Just tried it from my home pc, downloaded the newest NSU from nokia's site, it's v1.8.10en as well. is your phone o2 branded?

Nialloo24 · 17-12-2009 1:44am

Does anybody here hav the new firmware on a different network apart from o2 that didnt change the product code??
