N85 camera problem

2 replies · 5,265 views · Started 22 February 2009

I have recently bought a N85 from ebay. It was locked to vodafone but the seller had unlocked it. I changed the product code to the generic one and updated the firmware to v11, then *#7370#ed it. It works perfectly as a debranded phone but the camera app is very buggy. i.e. it will open the cam app but no image will be shown until after a restart of the phone, which still doesn\'t always work. My question is: Is this just buggy firmware or a hardware problem, or could it be because I debanded the handset?

What can I do now?

A reply would be much appreciated.

As you've updated the firmware reformatted it, your problem sounds a bit like broken hardware. Have a Nokia repair center take a look.

I'd say try reinstalling the firmware by running the nokia update again from your pc. It'll say the phone is upto date but will give you the option to reinstall the software.

Just out of curiosity, which product code did you use?
