USB connection

I had recently installed few freeware applications, and for the first time
backed up the ENTIRE PHONE incl the memory card usingNokia Content copier.

PHONE TORCH
After I had installed this , I had done a full back up of phone using Nokia Content Copier where for the first time I had ticked all to be backup (i.,e including MEMORY CARD contents) ,the back up process had initially frozen at 67% ,then I had canceled and got a successful back of about 1Gig safely.

After these two events when I connect my Phone, and choose mass storage mode to use it like any external hard disk am having the following nuisance:
I click open on any folder say IMAGES
The main window of EXTERNAL DRIVE F closes and restarts again as if i just plugged in the phone as external hard disk. :frown:
This repeats N number of times,:frown:
However I could use Nokia PC suite's file FILE MANAGER to successfully use the phone as external disk.

Also as I was using FILE MANAGER i suddenly noticed the PHONE TORCH
shortcut on my homescreen has been replaced by NOKIA MAPS!!!😮

And when i restarted the phone, Voila it was back on home screen!:con?

I have uninstalled phone torch ,and no difference in the bug as mentioned above. And I didn't feel like installing it back, because of the disappearance of
phone torch icon from the home screen automatically.

Now abt Open office
I had installed it. But its not there . When i checked it on installation manager
its not there.. Then i tried to install again ( DOWNLOADED caption was already being shown on the DOWNLOAD! application list beside the open office ) .Now when i tried second time, got warnings of FILE CORRUPT and
failed installation.

Otherwise, gmail, google maps, all went fine.

If anyone have similar problems pls share how you had solved it. Otherwise expecting useful information from experts. Thanks a lot for your time in advance.

Hello everyone

Referring to above issue:

I made an RESTORE using Nokia PC suite. The USB connection is very fine now.
I do not have PHONE TORCH inside the phone now, so looks like I had taken BACK UP prior installing PHONE TORCH.

I have not installed it again fear of having problems.

All of a sudden the key to invoke the MEDIA CENTER , (i.,e the small key on top right where xpressmusic logo is) isn't working.
I can sense the vibration , however nothing is popping up on right side of home screen. Looking for solutions, will update if i accidentally find it how.🙄

hi again

When browsing through pitures suddenly all disappeared.
I checked my videos, all had gone, same for all the applications.
When i came to my laptop to back up AGAIN , the system was not reading the
card. Restarted the phone, then all is fine.

along with it my old USB fault has come back. My guess is card is faulty.

Presently am transferring files using FILE MANAGER in pc suite .GOing to live with this small bug, not tat its there am going to re install PHONE TORCH 😊
