Phone Hangs on Start-up

Thursday, January 26th, 2006

We sometimes hear from users of Series 60 handset users stating that they’ve filled up their memory, and the memory is so full that they can’t get in to delete any files.

We’ve not had any experience of this, but the best thing to try is to restart the phone (by taking the battery out) when it “hangs” and then starting the phone in “safe mode”(booting and hold ABC key). This causes the phone to load as few apps as possible at startup. To do this, hold down the ABC key, and while holding it down, start up the phone. Hopefully you will then be able to transfer files from your C drive to your MMC to free up the memory.

As a very last resort, you can format the phone and start again - 1st post in this FAQ section - This will remove all data, and you’ll have to restore your phone’s information from a backup which you may have made on your MMC or via PC Suite.

If you still can’t get into the phone, the final option appears to to be to take the phone to the nearest Club Nokia shop (or your retailer), who should be able to re-flash the phone to factory settings.

Send Command Sending fails

Monday, January 2nd, 2006

’send command’ fails new firmware with some new firmware, some users have reported that the ’send command’ (thru bluetooth, IR, …) fails; it’s due to a ‘copyrigth protection’ introduced in the new OS (!!!!), this happens only with some kind of files (eg: .SIS), in such case, simply rename the file (eg: wtih .SISA ) before trying to send them.
