do a hard reset - after you've backed everything up and try again.

thats Green * 3 while powering on the phone.

make sure you have the latest PC Suite installed and the phone is set to USB mode.

as always good luck!😊

1. The silent call is a known V10 FW bug, you are correct to try and update the FW.

2. Disable Anti-Virus and Firewall apps when running NSU FW upgrades.

3. Don't remove battery, but instead click Retry about 5 - 10 times and hopefully the FW upgrade will continue. Works for some other folks.

Thanks alot guys problem solved 😊

still have couple of questions though :

1- lets say i have a contact with a cell phone number and a home phone number why whenever this contact calls me from his home phone number there's a cell phone icone next to his name and not an the actual home telephone icon ?

anybody with this problem also? how to fix it ?

2- how to use that gps thing ?
it always tells me waiting for gps even though there's 4 or 5 sattelites out there connected ??
plus i used map loader to download the map and it still asks for a network connection ...

plz help 😊

thanks in advance

the gps thing will improve .. ensure a nice clear view of the sky
have the keypad revealed ..
.. use the tools / GPS Data .. be patient .. the first few times it takes a few minutes - like up to 5 .. after these initial uses things speed up dramatically. as in open it click gps app .. and in under 30seconds its working.

so try try try again.
Good luck!😊

"..4 or 5 sattelites...": Sure the are locked? Bars with signal strength but empty ones means receiving signal but not locked. When locked/position fix, bars turn black.
"...still asks for a network.." This is a setting in the application ensuring that you allways have the most updated maps. Can be turned off.
