Nokia 7610 - Problems

[Laurent_08]

Hey, is anyone else experiencing alot of probs with the 7610?
2 really annoying things are:
The phone (T9 dictionary turned on) doesn't remember the words I have had to spell.
Sometimes when I spell a word when typing an SMS the phone freezes, until I reboot - I can't get into messaging or out of messaging...
When i set my alarm to ring in the mornings, it rings but doesn't have a snooze option (this only happens sometimes, once I've rebooted the phone it then works again)

How do I check my software version?

Thanks

[Daedalus]

as far as I'm aware (never owned a Series60 Nokia, only S40, but I'm working on it) typing *#0000# into the phone while on standby should bring up the software version.

Ah, that was a bug frequently found in the first batch of 7610s that arrived in Singapore. You didn't buy a S'porean 7610 did you? :).

[Laurent_08]

No I bought it in Hong Kong...

[neekee]

yer i got mine from hong kong too. havent seen this problem yet. but i have this annoying dictionary and i want to delete it...free up some space...maybe.... anyone know how?

[omie]

Hi there,

Go to "tools" and then to "manager" and delete it from there. then just re-start the phone....

Cheers,
:)mie

[neekee]

it would be great if it was in the manager!:)

[omie]

try putting another RS-MMC.

would i be right in thinking it is not in your manager.....

cheers,
:)mie

[nk_au]

You can't delete the Dictionary somehow. It's not listed under Manager.
If you format the RS-MMC, it will still be there
If you did the three-key format on your Phone, it will still be there
I think its integrated into the firmware, as it is v4.021.4ch I presume? Which is the Hong Kong version

I'm getting an Australian version soon. Woo hoo!

[Valleyboy]

There was a similar dictionary on my 6600 and it ate a lot of space for nothing. I just installed a program called FExplorer and deleted the dictionary manually with it. It´s a kind of a file manager -type program.

[nk_au]

I know what FExplorer is, but I did a three-key format to wipe out the Phone Memory, and formatted the Memory Card as well.

The Dictionary is still there! :mad:

I'm wondering if its integrated into my 7610 firmware (v4.021.4ch)

~~~

Never mind. I'm selling this Asian 7610 Ruby and getting an Australian 7610 Onyx on a plan. YAY! An Australian version! W00t!

Hopefully it has Snake EX, Mix Pix and LifeBlog :D

[shaheen]

NK_AU whens the 7610 cming out on a plan here?..theyre so far bak here ive given up totally..

[nk_au]

You know the company "B"? (Uses Optus line)

They're offering a Nokia 7610 for $99, and pay $49 per month for 28 months. Includes $39 worth of calls.

All $ is Australian Dollars

However, I think its an offer only given out by the store I visited ...

[neekee]

im happy with my chinese one except for that stooooPID DICTIONARY!
i hope that nokia australia will reflash? my fone which i should be able to do soon...its been announced on the nokia australia website that the 7610 is officially available.

P.S What are the best settings for video and image? ive spent all day inside thats probably why the photo seems..speckly? its kinda dark with the clouds up in the sky :D

[mondog]

hi
I was juct wodering if any one could give me any websites where i can download mp3 from using the connectivity cable dku-2. :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

[sjhotshot]

i m facing this ****ty problem with my 7610 i dun know whether its a problem

well when the phone rings it goes from a low volume upto like 4 - 5 secs and then straight up to high volume and i have already checked the settings it shows only ringing and i tried selecting the increasing ring option its still the same

[nk_au]

This topic has been posted before somewhere else ...

Apparently its due to regulations, just in case the phone is near your ear or something.

It's not a problem. Every 7610 handset does this

[Blueberry Pie]

It's a REGULATION? Omg....

Anyway, when do you know the next firmware is out? Can't wait to solve all(well almost) the problems on my 7610. I bought my 7610 on the 3rd day of its release, so it's bound to have problems. But I trust Nokia to release a firmware ASAP.:)

[nk_au]

Oh, and secondly ... unlike the 6600, you have to place your polyphonics in either

C:/Nokia/Sounds/Simple
E:/Sounds/Simple

It isn't in Digital anymore. Only Simple ... and that's only if you want them to be your ringtones :D

[jc_seremify]

am i the only one who thinks the chinese dictionary is cool? its very useful for when i'm smsing in chinese and i can't figure out what a word is which i need, so i go into dict, copy and paste it into sms and viola!

Maybe you're forgetting that some of us are either non-Chinese, or hate Chinese.

As for me ... I hate Chinese lol :D (god I hate my Chinese teacher ...)

[Blueberry Pie]

I'm non-Chinese....

Anyway you can still delete the stupid Dictionary using FExplorer what...frees up 4 MB of space.

[nk_au]

You can? Anyway, its too late now. My Aussie 7610 Onyx arrives tomorrow. Woo hoo!

PS: Sold my Asian Ruby hehehe ...

[Ahmad007]

Well, Unlike you all I have the European version of the 7610 :D

the phone doesn't come with no games and no lifebolg.

The only problem with the 7610 i'm facing is AMR files playback!, it gets dodgy or pause every 6 seconds untill the file playback ends. This problem is most common in all of the European versions of the 7610. I hope they release an upgrade soon.

By the way nk_au, the polyphonic sounds GOES to digital sound folder and works as a ringtone with me NOT the way you mentioned it.

sjhotshot, this problem DOESN'T exist with polyphonic sounds (unless the vibrate mode is turned on), It just exist with the mono simple sounds only.

Now that puzzles me. I'll see what my Aussie 7610 will be like ...

[Ahmad007]

nk_au

Maybe it's a problem with the chinese 7610. Check with the aussie version.

[neekee]

Nokia Careline told me i can get a software upgrade...for a price.... :@ coz tha warranty is valid in hong kong only......oH dEar...imma gunna havta get sum cash

Got my polyphonics in my Simple folder.

Now I have to wait for my Carrier to activate my service god damnit. Keep receiving the error message "SIM card registration failed"

Should be fine in 48 hours ...

crap i have those bugs!

[Wyatt]

I bought the first batch from singapore, no wonder why i had that same problems like the T9 dictionary is on but it doesn't save the words i spelled :(

[nk_au]

Speaking of polyphonics ...

Do you guys have any favourite polyphonics/wav's? If so, can you share some with me?

My 7610 is a bit bored with Clandestine.mid ...

Mine doesnt do that. If I put on ascending then it will do that. I always put it on ringing and it just rings at whatever volume I set. So no it is not due to regulations and no not 'every' 7610 does that.

[Chun]

itz because u set ur vibration as "off" when u set ur vibration off, it will ring normally and not acsending..try setting 2 steps be4 the max vol wif vibration on, and it will ring normally:)

Chung comrade... you sounded so sure that other 7610s are just like yours (buggy).

Well let me tell you i did just that; volume set to 2 steps before max and vibration set to on. And yes comrade it did ring normally
:D

[jc_seremify]

u mean to transfer them? i think you need nokia pc suite 6?.. me not really sure!

[madamebarso]

Hi,

I'm really wanting to get a 7610... can't bear my old Motorola anymore, want to get back to a nokia... but will be getting the European version and read this:

The only problem with the 7610 i'm facing is AMR files playback!, it gets dodgy or pause every 6 seconds untill the file playback ends. This problem is most common in all of the European versions of the 7610.

Is this really common? how likely is it to be on the phone I get?

Thanks
Madamebarso

[nk_au]

No. Only the Music Library of AMR files for the Movie Director skips every 6 seconds.

Use your own AMRs, and I'm sure you won't get the problem. I don't use AMR or AWB, but WAV and MP3 ... and I haven't had any skips on my 7610 (v4.0421.4)

[madamebarso]

One more thing.... I have the opportunity to get a 7610 a bit cheaper from Italy... I live in London... is the phone going to be different in some way? would it work with UK standards etc... would it charge me abroad prices on texts and calls etc...

Please help...

Cheers
Emma

[Andy]

Emma

the phone would be the same, charges for texts and calls will depend only on the SIM card you use.

[silver_cell16]
