Press/Hold hash # doesnt work on N80

22 replies · 4,021 views · Started 17 October 2006

Hi,

my N80 has been updated to ver4 firmware using NSC, the toggle between General/Silent profiles worked fine on the old firmware, but not on the new ver4 ?

All my friends ver4 N80 devices have the profile toggle working.

Do certain ver4 work and others not?

I have:

v 4.0623.0.41
26-07-2006
RM-92
Nokka N80 (58.01)

FWIW, I was never able to use <press and hold #> as a profile toggle on my N80, even before the upgrade to v4. I've always had to use the power button menu to switch.

# key works for switching profiles...

Ditto here

I've got

v 4.0623.0.42
20-09-2006
RM-92
Nokia N80 (58.01)

And it doesn't work, but it also didn't work on v 4.0623.0.41 either.

anyone have any insight to why this is hit/miss?

had a quick look and couldnt find no settings in the menus...

Works ok here v4.0623.041 (01)

Didn't even know of this. Used it a lot on my K750i but never tried it on my N80.
Thx guys. Regds

Not working here on my (58.01) v4.0623.0.42.

From the previous posts it looks like it works on (01) but not on (58.01) variants. Werid-ola.

When I press and hold the # key, I get a message that says; "change outgoing phone line?"

Would love a quick key way to go from general to silent!

The '#' key behaviour is to switch between silent/general profiles, except when a network operator uses it for line 1/line 2 switching, instead.

thanks for the feedback.

It worked on my ver3 firmware and it's in the manual. Everyone read the manual right? 😃

Anyway, i think jasong might be onto something though? i.e. 58.01 doesnt work but 01 does work.

What do these numbers in the firmware mean? and more importantly how can i change from 58.01 to 01

?

cheers

Yo, those numbers are the languge files and some phone restrictions in software, and yes u can change from 58.01 to 01 using phoenix, i did it, i had (12) and now i have (08) and the #key works fine here v4.

cheers 😃

Thanks Dx!

Do we know the specifics about the "phone restrictions in software" you mention?

I have just used the NSS, NSU, GSM-MAGIC to change my region to 01. Then i ran Nokia SU, so i now have the same ver 4 firmware but this time with (01) region.

Guess what? my hold-hash feature now works!
