Nokia N80 problems

[warine_warrior]

I've had my N80 about 3 weeks now, I have noticed a couple of problems with it,

I like to use the mp3 player on it when i go to the gym but it has the annoying habit of randomly switching from head phones to phone speaker so the rest of the gym get a loud blast of my music unexpectedly! i have checked the connection for the headphones and all seems fine.

Also, when i have the phone in my pocket I quite often ring people randomly, maybe its my fat ar5e that presses the relevant buttons but i think the position of the unlock keys is quite poor.

Anyone else had these problems and more importantly has anyone found any solutions to the problems?

Thanks

lol. mine just locks up for ages on every txt i send...getting annoying now... might sell it and open a new one.

When you slide the phone open, the key pad unlocks, i use the auto lock feature to stop this, so you have to imput a code everytime you use the phone,a nd the problem with the music coming on is the headphones are comming loose. Locking up is a common fault, the firmware update should sort it out i think

Mines just got damn slow lately! And the message thing is starting to annoy me too! I took mine to have the latest firmware put on it put they ended up loading the same as i had back onto the phone. D'oh!

 

[azzer2000]

must admit im p*ssed of with the slowness when sending messages, and the fact that when you recive a message it takes so long to get it on and read it. Sony erricson are miles better on this front, but the camera and video is better on the N80 than any other phone iv ever seen.

The new Remote update service should include n80 by the end of the week.

 

[azzer2000]

how does that work then?

See thread in tech chat thats been stickied

My N80 is seriously pissing me off at the moment, since the battery went flat one day i recharged it. Once charged and sorted i started using as normal.

Now i have found that the gallery doesnt show any item which is stored on the MMC card, however if i go to the file manager i can see all my pictures/music.

Secondly, when i open my contact its sits on the screen for about 2 mins then slowly updates.

Getting very annoyed with it, however i still love it.

Might take it back to the O2 shop and see if they can do anything, if not i might see if they can give me the N73 as an alternative

Iv noticed the battery is very sh*t, i have to recharge every night even if i aint used it much.

you should all take your n80's to a nokia service centre to get the latest firmware

 

[Tom]

Or wait a week and DIY!

 

[Andy_con]

ummm DIY is ok if you know what your doing.

ive got about 5 years experence of flashing/fixing mobile phones and i would be very carefull about doing an n80

Have you not experienced the random locks when texting or the random reboots? Or the memory card dissapearing?

I installed the latest version yesterday, bit of a pain, the instructions on that site didn't work, eventually managed to cobble something together that recognised and flashed the phone.

Nice to be texting at full speed again.

If you're looking to run sat-nav on the phone it wont work with the version of software that you have, there is a bug in the bluetooth.

 

[fingers crossed]

also the 3g forum http://www.3g.co.uk/3GForum/ is very useful.

here is the N80 section http://www.3g.co.uk/3GForum/forumdisplay.php?f=626

hopefully we can all help each other

I had no problems with the instructions. I did not use the BB reaper. Just Phoenix and the new version of nokia pc suite seems to work along side it.

Copy it to the memory card and then run it from the file explorer on the phone.

Download the nokia phone suite. On there is an install software program.

Double click on the sis file on your computer and the program will do the rest.
