1. Screenshot app + some games = hang or unstable work
2. Mp3 player: when started without headset, it informs: "Plug the headset or turn the loudspeaker on". I open the options menu, then I turn loudspeaker on, then press play, but nothing but white noise is comming out from speaker. It happened also once, while trying to "loudspeak" the radio.
3. The notepad app have some problems with refreshing screen while scrolling. Also, there are problems while scrolling the text:[12|]
[13]
When the cursor was in indicated position, (' | '😉 but at the bottom of the screen, pressing the down arrow key didn't worked - cursor disappeared, in fact it moved before the '[' char in 13-th row.
Firmware is 4.03 (V 4.03; 26-11-2003; NEM-4)

I have n-gage v4.03 26-11-04 ITA and it hasn't prob w/loudspeaker and note but i can't send mms with midi or gif images. it just says format not supported, cannot insert object
do you have this prob
(my phone was 3.30 then, when i buyed it they flashed v.4.03, i buyed it 3 days ago)
Ill double check but i dont think gif and midi are supported in mms. I think its just jpeg for pics and aac for sound.
and im not sure wat u meant about ur loudspeaker. Do ya mean it wont play things through the loudspeaker?

Sometimes - only static white noise is comming out. I haven't checked out when exactly the loudspeaker doesn't work, but usually after playing games, even 'Bounce'. When the headset is plugged, no problems arise.

Like always id suggest a hard reset ( *#7370#), but first check see if the problem arises after using a particular application. If it does try uninstalling it and checking it.

I'll try. One more question: I've never done hard reset before, but i guess, thatit cleans all data stored in phone's memory. If so, what is the best way to backup them? Either on mem-card or by Nokia Suite on PC? I've heard from pal, that PC-NS stores firmware too (hard to believe, but is that true?)
Regards -- Spook.
I don't know what "PC-NS" is, but the backup does not back up firmware; just user data, installed apps (if you use PC Suite, check the "BackupExclusionList.dat" file in the PC Suite installation directory for what's not backed up by default).
I'd back up both using PC Suite and to MMC to be on the safe side, and then first try restoring from the MMC after a reformat.
yo.........i started getting this error message when i try to use speed dial...it says:
telephone:System error
....well..first i used to get an error on startup..it went something like....main app closed or something.......now when i use the speed dial function is says telelphone:system error..

Sounds like you have to send or take it to your nearest Nokia authorized service center.

Hi GhostDog, so did it help? Coz i'm having the same problem as well. Coz i'd be QUITE irritated if it really were Pro Rally since i paid money for it and if it were the one causing the problems i'd have "wasted" my money since it can't work without screwing my calendar which i rely on quite heavily.
I've got quite a few bugs on my QD, some have already been mentioned in the other parts of the forum but i'll list them out here anyway.
I get the system error message for quite a few programs that come with Nokia:
1. Notes
2. Go To
3. Calculator
4. Calendar
The BIGGEST system error i've gotten was for messaging. The system errors i mentioned earlier were corrected by restarting the phone, the messaging error wouldn't go away. Could receive, could send, but can't open messaging at all, so can't read sms, can't check mail, don't even know who sent you the sms. It was corrected by hard reset, so i lost those sms, and i STILL don't know who sent them.
There's the lag problem that i've complained about all over the forum so i won't say more.
Occasionally my phone acts up and my call button doubles up as the ok button as well. This has only happened once or twice for no reason, but those times i received a call, i press answer, but instead a menu opens up and asks whether i want to answer, to silence, to reject etc. and u have to press ok on the option you want again to execute it rather than straightaway answer the call.
Yes,it did help.I'm avoiding Mophun apps/games and my calendar is working perfectly now.

Thanx for the info.
I hear the next batch of QD's are gonna be out in Singapore in about a week's time, so the inside story's that these QDs are gonna have new firmware, so i'm expecting an upgrade to be available to QD users soon... the new firmware had better have these bugs fixed... for i am growing somewhat impatient with Nokia... =/
The Rally Pro bug is a bug in the Mophun engine and not Symbian OS or Series 60 itself so there is one less bug to blame on Nokia 😉

I've had rally Pro for ages but my calender has never been wiped out. Is there more than one version of rally pro?
Most likely it has been fixed in a newer version.
i've got the biggest bug... N-Gage cannot swim. 😞 today is a bad day for me i dropped my n-gage to the sea..and now it stop working... 😞 bad day huge bug... i'm gonna buy a new n-gage tomorrow...
GhostDog wrote:Most likely it has been fixed in a newer version.
I doubt it... i haven't checked the Rally Pro website yet, but i bought the game no more than a month ago, so i'm pretty sure i've got a reasonably new version (if not newest), but i still had that problem, and yeah GhostDog, i removed it and my calendar works fine now. Thanx again! 😊
drager, sorry to hear that, no amount of protection you put on the N-Gage can solve that "bug", unlike screen protectors or phone pouches... 😞

Haha i'm sure you don't need any reminders that electronics and water don't make good friends. I personally wouldn't keep the old one on the wall tho, it'd just bring back the memories *sob sob* 😃

Bring it to authorized Nokia Care Centre and raise hell. And i mean
Hell. Make sure they fear you and don't give you f****ng half-past-six jobs and allow the problem to come back.
Do what my friend did, went to the shop, took a number, waited for 2hrs, then the minute he got served, he slammed the table, and said loudly but menacingly and
SLOWLY, "i don't want to hear what the problem is, i only want to hear what you're going to do about it and when you're going to finish doing it." he got the guy SO scared he now deals straight with the manager.
😃 done something similar. hehe, just hope they get it right this time. this kind of problem is mostly firmware problem right? not hardware?
I upgraded my n-gage from v3.30 to 4.03 and i'm very satisfied! I discovered that, some apps (PhoneInfo, CellTrack) identifies my mobil modell as 3650. Now, with the new sw, they are displaying "n-gage" 😊 Cool! And there was another annoying thing: sometimes when i started the music player it exited with an error, i didn't know why. Now, it runs perfectly and exits never! (maybe it's the effect of the "Improvements for LFFS" change in the sw)
Nokia Mobile Phones Service Bulletin No.
SB-012/07.01.04* Improvements for LFFS and APO
I copy-pasted this from a site, LFFS is the file-system that the phone use, and APO..hm...i think it's rather than API (and that is Application Programming Interface)! 😊
Sorry for my english, I'm from Hungary!

Do Nokia have any plans to add a fast forward and rewind function to the mp3 player? Perhaps in a future firmware upgrade or somthing? The lack of this ability is seriously annoying.
Another thing that bugs me is RealOne player's very low volume playback of .rm files to the point that it becomes a another useless RealNetworks product.
I've been meaning to post this for a long time.
MP3 ringtones don't loop,there is a slight delay/pause before the ringtone should start playing again.I have noticed a number of times that MP3 ringtones are played only once,after the first playback,the phone continues to vibrate only.
WAV ringtones do loop fairly good but only a few times(3 to 4),then the playback skips a little.I can live with that,the problem is wav ringtones sound a lot worse then MP3,can't imagine why.
I have a prob similar to sabz... see my ngage suddenly switches off when I'm playing games. Today it switched off when I was trying to change profile from silent to general... its wierd.... although it has switched off only when I was playing Tomb Raider.. no other game, atleast not yet
