no tht happens after a period of time man just connect it to the pc and install nokia ovi suit when u connect ur device and all just go software updates at the end and ull find an option where it says reinstall software and it will fix up ur device man (Y)
i have the nokia n97 too but its perfect. there is no problem.. no crash, no faults etc. its working perfectly. are you sure you didn't master reset it or something like that???
after the latest software updation, i can't play any mpeg videos. "video format not supported" message coming,in spite of video conversion by pc suite. is it a new bug? i searchd other support sites. same problem with others also.
I feel your pain, had exactly the same with my N97.
Lag, errors, crashes, blank screens, "please restart your phone" msgs...on a daily basis. Even after the 'fabled software update' to fix all the problems.
In the end I bought an iPhone 3GS and won't ever consider a Nokia again now - they should be embarassed they released this trash.
mine was fine for about 6months then it started to slow down in loading and now it turns off whenever it feels like and takes a long time to load most of the time.. n97s suck!
cool video-worst phone i ever had-been back twice for the camera lens scratch issue, screen freeze and not repsonsive, soft unlock failure, when charger disconnected it still shows charging, and now been back for no gps signal for 3 repairs. Still they dont swap or update it. I now have problem where after pcsuite update it keeps disconnecting my phone. even as latest firmware too, soft and hard reset does not work also :?(
Nokia N97 is a thoroughly rubbish phone which should be priced at HALF what Nokia demanded for it. Its the first phone that i feel anger towards when using from day to day. (i use 3 months old N97 mini)
@carsfor4life I bought an HTC Desire few days ago. I feel sorry for anyone who uses S60V5 phones and think this is how touch-screen phones are.. I havent looked back at N97 since. Will eventually sell the nokrap97.
Mabye its not the N97 in general mabye its just yout one thats mest upp. i have the nokia5800 tho and i hate it i want this fone my uncle has it and its NOT like this at all you should get your phone checked out before posting it on youtube and implying that its a bad fone because trust me it is not!
Nokia finally admitted the N97 was a total disaster, their video admission is on youtube. Sadly, the worst phone I have ever had and I have had the N96, N95, E90, N73, 7650 etc all Nokias for over 10 years. This pile of crap crashes most days and then needs a hard reset to work again. Now trying to get my money back as its not fit for purpose as described (sale of goods act 1979) . Shame really as the spec is brilliant, just let dwon by dodgy BIOS and build quality
can anyone help me ??? my n97 wont even turn on, my phone battery ran out and i lost the charger so i left it dead for about a week and when i bought a new charger and plugged it into my phone it didnt even turn on and the light on the side of the phone ,right next to the charger hole keeps on blinking ??!!!??? can anyone tell me why or how to fix this ?????
i have to say i can get on twitter and facebook just fine but i only really use msn on my laptop, i am experiencing a different fault of my own where i turn the phone on but stays on the nokia sign and doesnt work , so i am currently using my other phone.
Typical of nokia! for hardware i give every nokia 100% for software i give it 20% - nokia should make their own OS instead of messing around in symbian - (however you spell it)
haha i know but nokia are assholes i took it in to get fixed and asked for a refund they said no and they took the phone off me and said 8 weeks till its done that is fucked hahaha
same man nokia sent it bak to me all fixed but then wen i try to get stuff like ovi store and stuff it wont let me update it so i cant go on it, it says license is out of date
well i got good news and bad news the good news is ot is a great phone texting and chating e.t.c but on msn or face book o.k but well it takes about 1min to load so if you are in a hurry not good but i would give it a 95 percent in a good way
@nickercrusher my dear friend..,perhaps idiot working for nokia..,as you see here and go to nokia truth..,there are hundreds of people agreed and suffering with that piece of shit just like me and seems you are the onlyone in here to have it flawlesly!..Perhaps you never took it out from the box? Nokia..,just like the people living there cant make phones..,cant make anything..,couse its conservative..,slowgoing..and once got something takes centuris to change..Symbian!
FYI the N97 has an old GPS chipset, the Samsung Omnia has a far newer chipset that aquires satellites faster and in many cases when the N97 cant find anything. My real beef with the N97 is the pathetic 128mb of ram that is even less then the N95 8G. I already run out of ram on my N95 8G all the time and have to start shutting apps down, knowing I will have a bigger problem on the N97 turned me right off.
Mine has been full of faults from the first day I got it... and looking at the forums online I am not the only one.. it is simply full of Firmware faults, Voda are well aware of the problem, after getting on to faults - says a lot when Orange refuse to stock it, due to firmware issues.
Just got my nokia N97 and the pre installed games wont load!! Just goes to white loading screen!! Plus it hard to write messages on and you cant insert smiley faces??
he got it online, and 3 are a shit network, get a descent quality network like vodafone or t mobile, possibly orange but 3 omg...after 18 months of hell with my phone and not getting a signal i spent 200 quid on a sony ericsson c905, made my life much easier, learnt my lesson...never go with 3.
completely agree, i had a friend on three, alwaysed complained, he went to telstra, he is much happier, plus the black N97 is made in china while the White N97 is made in finland, besides white looks better :) im planning on getting this on either vodafone or optus :)
I'm on three, and they're actually very good. I don't know what the hell W35t51d369 is on about - Vodafone are rediculousley expensive and do shit/no deals, and T-Mobile have the worst UK coverage of any network other than Virgin... a bit more reasonably priced, though...
The only thing that sucks is that you can never speak to an English person on any of the customer service lines.
However...
The phone does look like a shit load of problems neatly packaged in sleek black plastic... AVOID.
Im so disappointed, I always loved Nokia phones, I owned in the last 5 years like 4 nokia phones just got my 5th Nokia phone N97 and its not even 3 days old and already Crashed so disappointed now im back to my N95 8G :( paid $625 :(
Maybe there is a big chance that the application is not supported fully by the device it self. but still there is a big chance that the headset is faulty.
I also got both my handsets with fully charged batteries + the phone automatically starts charging through the usb so dont have much choice ? it only gives me 1 warning before going dead & very poor phone 3G told to me that they have been facing problems with the phone but have not called me back yet so for now ive gone back to using my old N95 :-(
I argee with luke that bugs will be fixed but as you can see that my 2nd handset just like the 1st is completely faulty i cant even use it & i think that they should'nt be allowed to release them with so many faults & expect users to just wait around for a new device to be fixed in my eyes they have already had six months to fix these faults before it was on 3 contract in uk
there are always problems with the Sybian OS, but as its new they will fix the bugs in updates, if your phones slow its usually because you charge it to often it says in the manual to charge it when it tells you to, I used to charge my N96 loads and it slowed it down fully
good job you made these videos, i was about to agree to an upgrade with a expensive price plan, now i wont, give it a bit of time see how it goes, hopefully firmware updates should sort most of these problems.
i have this phone,is my actual phone,but is very shit
