E61 Problems after firmware update

Hi Severin. I had similar problems, but this was before upgrading the firmware. For issue 1 and 2, I simply formatted the memory card, then I upgraded my firmware; since then, no problems 😊

I didn't experience the keyboard issue so I cannot be of much help there.

1) Restore from card restores only a small number of the installed programs.
2) When the phone is switched on it tries to install the rest of the programs but aborts after about 5 minutes and advises to install them via Application Manager
3) Application Manager announces "Unable to install" for theses programs, as if parts of them were still present blocking re-installation;

That's all "normal". The firmware upgrade and backup/restore system in S60 is currently still a complete mess and doesn't do half of what it should do properly. Regarding the missing applications and the "unable to install" message, I've described how to solve your problem here: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum/showpost.php?p=285700&postcount=2

Note that even if you follow my guide (which might take you a while if you've got loads of applications installed that have not been restored properly) it's likely that none of your Java applications will work anymore so you'll have to re-download, re-install and re-configure all of them. Also, it's likely that you won't be able to restore some of your native applications so you'll have to re-download, re-install, re-register and re-configure them as well. So instead of trying to restore your applications from the backup, you might want to just re-format the memory card and start from scratch. It usually takes me a whole day of work to restore my phone to where it was before the upgrade whenever i do a firmware upgrade.

No idea what's wrong here, sorry.

Dear fyrestrtr and elp: thanks very much for your information. The problems I face seem to be a general one of the update system. I think I will re-install from scratch. I will repost the keyboard layout problem to see if it catches the eye of somebody who has experienced the same. Best regards

bro ,i think all u got to do is just reinstall the software and u should be fine, good luck

I bought an English E70 with Hungarian firmware (because I am Hungarian). I can change back the language to English, but NOT the keyboard layout. It is in the firmware (at least deeper than a simple switch) so I have ����ő��ű and all of this in capitals...
