First Hands on nokia N97 | India

I put my home wi-fi on the phone, it put it priority 1, then when I left the house the phone kept beeping and saying it couldn't find the network, Any suggestions?

go to settings-->connectivity and then make sure u r disconnected from ure wifi and also automatic scanning is switched off...also disable any widgets that might require update thru wifi when on the move...

cheers!

no dude...no such probs that uve mentioned again....if u want i can post some screenshots again for ure sake :razz: better yet probably a video after a week or so...

Cheers!

When I posted call divert problems on my orkut status, one of my friends scrapped me saying he has the exact same issue. So I am not alone, am I? What I am trying to say is, a phone (especially when I am paying >30k) should just work out of the box. Not running to the service center in a week's time. I've had a Blackberry storm, and an htc S710 before this, and I have never faced issues like these.

hi bro :-D

1."When I posted call divert problems on my orkut status, one of my friends scrapped me saying he has the exact same issue."

As i told u bro, the call divert is but obviously a network operator related issue...now as u could CLEARLY SEE, i was able to set it up...and i posted proof regarding the same...tell u wat...insert another sim of diff operator and try...if it works, then thats final proof...

2."So I am not alone, am I? What I am trying to say is, a phone (especially when I am paying >30k) should just work out of the box."

But obvious if the other guys operator doesnt support the same, he also wont be able to set the divert rite? :mrgreen:
And the fone does work out of the box :p

3.Not running to the service center in a week's time. I've had a Blackberry storm, and an htc S710 before this, and I have never faced issues like these.

No need to run to a nokia care dude...uve got Nokia PC Suite with NSU...u can do it ureself....as i advises reflash ure firmware in case u facing a lotta problems...

PS: I have blackberry bold...its good...HTC is a big no no for me...sux!

Cheers!

When I click Activate, it shows me the options Voice mail or other number, when I click other number it just quits. If it was an operator issue, what should happen is, after I enter the other number, it should say Requesting.. and then say failed. Anyway, to prove you wrong, I tried with the same SIM on a Nokia N82 and it worked perfectly as it should. So IT IS THE PHONE PROBLEM. NOT THE NETWORK.

But obvious if the other guys operator doesnt support the same, he also wont be able to set the divert rite? :mrgreen:

No it doesn't. Today I was just scrolling down the applications menu, and it just hung. I just felt like lowering my car window and chucking the phone out for some lorry to run over it.

My whole issue is why should I even take the pain of doing all this. I've never bothered to update the firmware of my Storm or my htc.

PS: I have blackberry bold...its good...HTC is a big no no for me...sux!

Cheers!

I don't say htc rocks.. But definitely not sux.. It is loads better than this piece of expensive hardware that I bought which I should be sending to the recycling station at Nokia care.

Finally i have downloaded the firmware version 12 and have installed it and i must say the phone is running much much faster than usual..there is basically a lag…and messaging opens up so quick its ridiculous..i also used the problematic photo browser (beta) that always used to drag and it moved very quickly and i was playing the music player at the same time..i must say i am very happy with the update so far didn’t notice any new features as of yet though but if anyone knows of any please post....

deepak all n97 users are moving towards V12 now dude!! wat? r u sleeping or something?? :lol: IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT THE STOCK V10 ISNT ALL THAT GOOD...thats why u have available updates of v11 and then v12 now...

If u stop criticising the FONE and actually do something about it ure issues might be addressed dude! Its difficult to believe that U PURCHASED THE FONE but cannot DO A SIMPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE...It is not Nokia's fault that the other brands u r talking about dont offer updates to their users...TOO BAD FOR U!:x

I would advise u something useful bro...Uve spent 30 odd grand on the fone...dont just let ure money get wasted...update and enjoy :cool: In any case i've shown u the call divert takes place just fine...so ure call

Cheers!

I also noticed that Bluetooth has been corrected. In v10 and v11 I couldn’t copy any file to my phone using the bluetooth browser from Mac OS, it always displayed an incompatibility message; now I can after updated to v12. I guess an iSync plugin for N97 will be soon available because of this fix :lol:

I Want some Change In Future N97...What you expect??

l know N97 is a great phone . l love certain features but what would i most like to see from future updates to really improve the overall package.
Firstly the most important thing is getting the RAM right. At the moment if i am running too many apps then the phone just gives up, often needing a restart. I know that the recent firmware update has improved this however I feel Nokia still has work left to do here.
Secondly allow users to remove certain apps which are pre-installed on the phone. Surely as the owner of the handset it is my choice if I want this application taking up valuable memory space on my C: drive. Also it would be an improvement if all applications could be installed onto the mass memory rather than the C: drive like some such as quick office which eats up your memory.
