Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / November 2006N73 problem
Hi, I have a friend who has a new N73 on 3. After 2 weeks it now won't receive calls. After ringing for a few seconds the screen freezes and then the phone turns off. It also freezes turns off and then back on if you try to take a photo or use Bluetooth? Any ideas? Is this a duff phone or perhaps needs new software or a set up problem? Thanks > Hi, I have a friend who has a new N73 on 3. After 2 weeks it now won't > receive calls. After ringing for a few seconds the screen freezes and then > the phone turns off.

Thanks Take to a Nokia service center have them look at it and possibly reflash the firmware. 3 will have put their own software on it to mess it up. >> Hi, I have a friend who has a new N73 on 3.

AFAIK the network specific firmware is still done by Nokia. david@noname.com declared for all the world to hear... > Hi, I have a friend who has a new N73 on 3.

Thanks It's a brand new symbian-based Nokia. And you expected it be stable?

I did my 3 software update that way, no problem. >> david@noname.com declared for all the world to hear... >>> Hi, I have a friend who has a new N73 on 3.

It was, I updated mine the beginning of last week. It doesn't show up on the nokia.com site, you have to go in via europe etc. Anyway, it works. I've also de-branded my N73, using b-phreaks NSS, and updated the firmware again, which means I now have the latest generic firmware: V3.0638.0.0.1, 30-10-2006, RM-133, Nokia N73(08) > It was, I updated mine the beginning of last week.

It gets as far as the "Application Starting" screen, and then doesn't go any further. shame. >> It was, I updated mine the beginning of last week.

Mine worked 1st time, but I know of a couple of friends who got the same as you, but it did work eventually. >I've also de-branded my N73, using b-phreaks NSS, and updated the firmware >again, which means I now have the latest generic firmware: >V3.0638.0.0.1, 30-10-2006, RM-133, Nokia N73(08) Great. Thanks for this. Saved me a visit to a Nokia Service Centre. V3.0638.0.0.1, 30-10-2006, RM-133, Nokia N73(01) :) SignaturePajaP "> I've also de-branded my N73, using b-phreaks NSS, and updated the firmware > again, which means I now have the latest generic firmware: > V3.0638.0.0.1, 30-10-2006, RM-133, Nokia N73(08) Just done my 6680. WELL chuffed!!! Just one thing. Before I done this, I made a back up of my phone to my memory card. After the process, I restored my settings from the memory card, but it said 'Unable to restore one file' then my phone rebooted. And after that, I was unable to open any menus. I reflashed the phone again, but didn't restore anything from the memory card this time. It was Vodafone branded. Do you think it was just a conflict when I tried to restore all the settings? It just means I'm going to have to but *everything* back in my phone, but it's worth it for brand free software :-) Seems to be much quicker opening menus now, too! |
