i got my n82 last 2 weeks ago, and when im opening the wlan wizard, system error was occurring. how can i fix it?
hi. did you get the black or silver? if silver, make sure you have the latest firmware. I have never seen a system error during wifi. where did you buy it from?
Hi Mike,
I downloaded the Nokia Internet Radio Application for my N82 Black. when i open the application and try to search for any internet radio station by any category(language/country,etc.), the application simply quits. I have tried different approaches but no results. I even tried to reinstall the application, even that did not solve the problem.
I use mobitubia to watch youtube. Can you suggest how could I watch google videos? Because I tried to watch google videos through mobitubia as well as real player & S60 browser. But I could not see the videos in both the approaches.
Thanks,
Gopinath.
Hi... I've got a big problem about the "emtube" application, i could not view the videos on youtube after i had upgraded my firmware to the latest... When i am going to view the videos it says "redirected to html page instead of flv movie please chek your proxy settings! Wat shud i do? I am looking forward for your help... Tnx.

@ Gopinath,
Where did you download from. Maybe you are getting an old version. Did you get it from Nokia.com?
I will investigate about Google Videos. I haven't tried it in a long time.
@ Miyongskie,
Emtube hasn't been updating to support the way Youtube makes their videos now. Youtube changed it about a month ago. The only application that works is Mobitubia, find it here.
Hi Mike,
At first, I downloaded the Nokia Internet radio application from Nokia website through my N82 Black. When i opened the application and tried to search for an internet radio station by any category(language/country,etc.), the application simply got closed. So I uninstalled it and downloaded the application from Nokia website in my pc and then installed it in my N82 Black. Still then, the problem persists. I have no idea whatsoever why this is happening.
For your information, I use a WiFi Connection to access internet and the bandwidth is 6Mbps downlink.

Hey Mike,
I have been happily using my N82 for a few months now. One of the features I really liked was the ability to enter first+last initial in the address book search field to jump to a short list of names.
Has anyone else found after upgrading to firmware v20.0.062 this feature is disabled.
- Stu
why aint the sms inbox showin the contacts number instead of the name in nokia n82 V20.0.062?
previous version is working fine
@ Gopinath,
Sounds like maybe it's having a problem with WiFi. Do you think you can try it with data for a few seconds and see if it stays on. You may have found a bug in the application. I don't have Wifi near me right now but when I do I will test this out.
@ Stuboy,
I never used that method before, I always go by the first name. I'll try and test out your way and see whats up. Maybe they did disable it, which is a bummer.
@ Anonymous
First, please leave your name so it's easier to refer to you. Thanks! It's always shown the name for me. Why would you want it to show the number and not the name?
Hi Mike,
I tried to use Nokia Internet Radio application with GPRS connection. Again I am getting the same issue in which the application exits, when I try to search for some stations.
By the way, did you get any clues about watching google videos in N82?
-Gopinath
Hi,
I've just configured my N82 to connect to my university's authenticating wireless network. The N82 just connects to it without me touching it, and even when I manually disconnect (tools - connectivity - connection manager), it just connects straight away!
There are no other applications running, and email is not set to connect automatically.
It's not passing a huge amount of traffic (average 0.3kB/s), but I'd like to stop it, as it really drains the battery.
Any ideas welcome!
Cheers
- Ian
@ Gopinath
Bummer it isn't working. I too am having problems with Internet Radio all of a sudden. I can't get any stations to play. I still can't figure out google video either. They probably don't use Flash Lite 3 which is what Youtube uses.
@ Ian,
You can control your Wifi from the standby screen if you have Active Standby on. just click it and you'll be able to turn off Wifi scanning right there. Let me know if this works.
Alright all, hows it going? I just have a slight problem with the Nokia Ngage program on my N82. I installed a version on my mobile and it was working fine and no probs. then i developed a problem on my phone which meant i had to do a factory reset and then restore my old back up. Ever since then, i have the old Ngage (The preview program) and the original ngage icons on my mobile. I can open the preview program but i cant open the actual program. i try to uninstall it, it crashes with an error and i have tried to reinstall it and it does exactly the same. can someone point me in the right direction.
Cheers
hi vijay. try going to ngage.com from your browser and downloading ngage from there. it should overwrite the previous version. i think once you login it will show you your games too.
Cheers dude, just tried that, it said no file found. i guess it might be a hard reset then work on it i think unless you can think of something dude
VJ hmmm. I wonder why you have two n-gage applications right now. you didn't install ngage on the memory card did you. if so, that might be the problem. if not the new ngage should have replaced the old ngage. really weird. check back if you fix it.
ALright dude, i think i have it sorted, I backed up my phone, took things from memory card which i needed and then did a factory reset on my handset. once i did this then i installed the ngage app and then restored my backup, it seems to have worked by the looks on it.
This thread helped my from Ngages website in case anyone else has the same problem -

Hi mike... Its me again... Miyongskie... So if that was the issue about the emtube application can you suggest how can i download videos from youtube?
Hi mike I am having same problem with my N82 (V20.0.062. My Internet radio was working fine but then i tried to add station from web site and suddenly it started aborting application. I tried re-installing from nokia downloads but problem continues. Additionally i am not able to remove the internet radio application completely as every time i remove and then install it shows some stations in default directory. Please help. Internet Radio is such a good application, i need it working.
@ Miyongskie, use the application called Mobitubia. You can download Youtube videos with that. Search for it hear on the blog.
@ Maz, I am too having problems with it. When I find a solution I'll let you guys know.
Hi mike
MAy be a silly question i'd ask but this problem really tortures me , what is the most convinient way to add various files to the memory card of my n82 , i mean when i create folders on the memory card i cant just browse through them and sort a folder for ringtones so when i go to personalization i found only the mp3 files in that folder not all mp3files from all playlists as an example and so on with all other office video,.... files.
Hi Mike, I do own an N82 Silver updated to latest firmware V2.0*
I had a problem in external speakers one of the two speakers suddenly stopped. I sent for repair, repaired and again after two weeks it stopped, I sent again and it also stopped after three weeks. moreover device sometimes gets hot (very hot), and once full battery lost its charge during the hot zone. I sent again for repair.
Have U heared about such troubles before ?
Should I continue with this device ?? or threw it up ?
Thanks, Mike
Miro
@ Mekawy, I store my mp3's in the Sounds folder. I made a folder called Music. I handle all of that on the computer. Just plug in your usb and click Mass Storage on your memory card. There you can organize the folders and add or move files.
@ Ahmed, that really sounds like you have a defective device. I would ask for a new one.
Hi Mike,
Mozzer again, up and running with the N82black, loving it to be honest, only just lately though i notice the battery life is shocking. charging it up once a day with not much activity few calls bit of surfing etc. thought what could be causing this I Look on the packet data log and last night my phone appeared to try and attach to a wireless Lan Access point every 2 seconds!! loads and loads on the log. (too many to page all the way through) No kilobites came in or out on any connection attempt it only lasted 2seconds but it must be draining my battery 100's of these attempts. My Wlan search is off and Wlan availabity is set to never. Ive even deleated all the Wlan access points last night. Should this cure it? bit concerned that things are running in the background even though ive set the phone up as not to do this. Thought about going in the advanced settings but you get that warning so not gone any further with that...
any advice.
Thanks
Moz
@ Mozzer... Wow this is really interesting I've never had this problem. Do you have any 3rd party apps like Psiloc Connect that might be causing this. Maybe an app you have open is trying to connect via wifi. Let us know if you find the proble sorry I can't be of more help.

Mike, hi. well the good news is just checked the log and no rogue connections tonight. Maybe deleating the Wlan access points cured it. Ive not got any 3rd p apps running, and the battery is less drained. Strange one although its probably me!! not the most tecnicial. Cheers for now.....

Glad that worked out for you pal. Hopefully it keeps it up.
Hi Mike,
I want to watch tv channels in N82 through my wifi connection(6Mbps bandwidth) for internet. Can you suggest some freeware which would serve this purpose?
- Gopinath
I have problem with my N82 after upgrading to the new firmware V20. I cannot connect to GPS at all even though their are a lot of satellite signals sign on my area. I send it to repair and the problem persists. I probably need to send it back. Is there anyway to flash back to the previous firmware. It works before.
Thomas
@ Gopinath I haven't really seen any freeware that can do this. Maybe you'd be interested in a Sling Player.
@ Thomas... No there is no way to flash it to the previous firmware. Are you trying to find GPS just with Nokia Maps? Go into your Tools > Connectivity folder and launch GPS data. See if you can get a signal there.
Hi... I hope this isn't a stupid question. The other night I deleted everything in my lifeblog, only to realise that it's deleted all my photos and SMS's as well. Was that supposed to happen?
@ Krissi. Welcome to the blog, no questions are stupid.
I don't have experience with lifeblog. I don't think that should have happened, but it's stupid if Nokia made it that way. Sorry to hear that. Let me know if you somehow get them back.
@Krissi & @Mike,
Lifeblog will delete the content in their respective original locations. Lifeblog serves as a one-stop viewpoint for sms, photos, videos, etc. Hence, If we delete any content at lifeblog, we are actually deleting the original content in our phone.
Still, we can make a good use of Lifeblog by syncing it up with your pc. I hope this answers your queery.
By the way, Mike try www.vimio.com. I have installed the liveTV application and not yet tested it. I will tell my comments after checking it out. You also try this free application and let me know about your experience with it. I hope you might put a blog to explain LiveTV app for our mates.

I would like to know if we can install the FF2 on n82 and if we can, where I can download it/
Hi there,
I just bought my n82 three days ago and have a problem with text messaging, it doesnt work.... it can recieve texts no problems but wont send them. It is able to send MMS so i got no idea what the problem is????
Thanks Gopinath for the clarification. Did you end up liking vimio? is it a S60 app or java? Thats a great idea about live tv.
@ sufino... as of right now there is no word about upgrading to fp2. I've seen rumors that it may eventually be possible.
@ anonymous. plese leave your name. thanks! did you get the problem figured out? there is a setup wizard that should take care of this for you.
This may be an unusual question, but earlier i had samsung phone In that i could lock the memory card so no one else could see my images and videos without my permission.
Any way i could do that in N 82?
Also is there any way that the images that i put in my memory card do not always appear in the gallery? Or the videos for that matter. Otherwise there is no way to maitain privacy in the phone. Same is true for msgs. there is only one main phone lock.
Do you have any solution?
hi mike, i really need help.. i just got a nokia n82 made in china from phils.. but when i put my rogers sim card in it.. it doesnt work or it doest detect any network.. currently, im living in canada.. pls help me.. email me at ...tnx..
Hi Mike...thxs 4 the wonderful..useful...informative blog u have...cheers!
I have 2 question..in SMS is there anyway we can be allow to show simple emotion icon like the yellow smiley face instead of :) cos i'm previously a sony erisson user and with this new N82 black edition, every smiley is ancient text form. and question 2: is there anyway to sort out last name and first name in phonebook..i want it to be organize by first name then last name...cos that how my sim contact is configure ..it will be really pain to redo every name
Thanks in advace..
Cheers!

Hi mike, thanks for your useful blog. I have black N82, a nice and pretty one but I found something terrible. My black N82 sometime crashed when I played music player, hang and then restart.
I tried to figure out this problem, then I guess the problem is about the micro SD. Playing songs from phone memory without its micro SD was just fine. I haven't try it by using another micro SD (since i need to buy it first), I need to hear from you first. thanks a lot.
@ katy...there is a 3rd party application to do this. i can't remember the name right now but i'll look into it for you.
@ atocurio0526.. no clue whats going on their. you might need want to run the setup wizard. make sure you phone isn't in the offline profile. if it is, it won't read the sim.
@ dennis... there is no way to add emoticons. there is a 3rd party app but i can't remember the name. type "emoticons for s60" in google and see what you find. for your other problem go to settings, name display, under the contacts application.
@ ariya... sounds like your memory card is giving you problems. try formatting your memory card. its under the tools folder, maybe under utilities. caution > your memory card will be wiped out. make sure your not installing themes and apps on the memory card, they run faster and better on the phone.
Been having problems with a crashing Gallery. It was working fine for a long time (2.5 months) but in the last 2 weeks its been crashing.
I would start up the camera and take a few pics - but then going back to see them, hang for a while. I would toggle to the standby application or other apps and they would be fine...when looking for the gallery again though - it would be dead/gone.
Anytime i access the gallery it dies...leaving me unable to view my pics on my phone!!!
So I update my phones firmware to 20.0.062. Still no luck though.
I have only used about 400Mb of my 2Gb memory.
Anyone have some ideas please???
Hi again Mike! I haven't miraculously gotten back the photos and SMS's I've lost after deleting all my Lifeblog entries, so it's a good thing I had downloaded most of the data onto my PC before it happened.
I haven't tried deleting anything from the Lifeblog program again, am too scared the same thing happens.
I haven't explored my phone thoroughly haven't had the time but so far I am loving it!
Sorry didn't see your reply there Gopinath...I guess that does make sense. OK Thanks for your help.
Good thing you had your stuff backed up Krissi. Glad your loving your phone. Keep checking back if you need anymore help with the N82. Any questions big or small are welcome.
Hi Mike,
No, that's not about nokia micro SD, anyway. I bought sandisk 4 GB, then played nokia music player with it and then crash !
So, I installed mystrand music player, play some songs with nokia micro SD until the battery ran out and everything was just fine.
simply, I can say that the problem is NOKIA MUSIC PLAYER!
Hmmm... I remember seeing a similar problem before like this. The person said they ended having a corrupt mp3 file on the card, and once they removed it all was well. I hope your problem gets resolved!

Mike said,

Can u please tell it to me soon? M having many problems due to lack of privacy.
Or any way to hide and view the files via file manager?
Hi Katy. For right now to hide images and videos from the gallery simply put them into a folder outside of the Images and Videos folders. When I have my pictures I need hidden I put them in a folder called "other" and bury them. You can do this using the free file managers called Y-Browser or X-Plore. You can also do this using the built in file manager under Tools.
Hi Katy. The application that you are looking for is called Best Crypto and costs $17. You can trial the application to see if it's in your liking...
http://mobihand.com/product.asp?id=7428&n=Best-Crypto-for-S60-3rd-edition
let us know if it works for you and is worth buying.
ps. i'm going to be adding a webstore for the N82 soon so that you guys and gals can find and purchase applications. it should be here within a month.
Hi
I got my N82 a couple of weeks ago and have been having trouble with numbers beinf saved and actually registering when I recieve a text or call.
Basically I will recieve a text from a friend and most times the name shows, yet on the odd occasion it just has the number, so sometimes I won't know who it is. Is there a way I can fix this? My phonebook was just copied from my old Samsung via a SD card, should I delete all the numbers and then just re enter them all?
Any answer would be great
thanks!
Yeah sometimes it's a good idea to start your phonebook from fresh when coming from a different model. Nokia phones sync well but not with other manufacturers. I would use Nokia PC Suite & the Contacts Manager to add all the numbers from the computer so your thumbs don't get tired.
Good luck.
Hi Mike,
I just bought a N82.
I downloaded games and applications from a site.
Those says for N82.
But I could not install in my phone..
Can U give me an advice?

hi mike, i bought a n82 a month ago and now the left speaker is not working anymore.. my God! n82 is very expensive but the speakers easily break. how do we deal with that?
@ Yoe Yar... Why can't you install on your phone? Are you getting errors? What site did you download from? Make sure the apps are for S60 3rd Edition
@ Anonymous. Sounds like your shit outta luck. Do you have a warranty?
@ Kherlen... I don't know where it's made, but I have a "Made By Nokia" version and it is solid as a rock.
The E71 is a great phone and will be a big hit. If you don't need the 5mp camera and xenon flash then go for the E71. The E71 would be my second choice behind the n82.
Dear Mike,
I've read your article about linking geotagged images from flickr to google maps and eventualy to a blog.
Is there any way to make the process automatic - so that I just uppload images from my N82 with share online and it automatically updates the google map on my blog?
So far I always have to embed it again and again after each new photo :-(
Hi Anonymous... What you have to give a tag to the photo before you upload it to flickr. The tag set you use for your google map should automatically grab the photo, but I might be wrong. I'll do some testing and see what I come up with. Whats your name by the way?
If you make any findings please come back and let me know. Thanks!
OK here is what I do in steps:
1) I make a geotagged photo with N82.
2) I open the photo in share online 3.0, name it, tag it and post it on flickr.
3) I repeat the process 1 and 2 until I have lot's of photos of the area I'am at.
4) At home on my PC I grab the link to geoRSS feed and link it to google maps where I create a new map.
5) I embed the created google map on my blog.
Now what I thought was that since it is an RSS feed linked to the google maps once I make new photos and send them on flickr they should automatically appear (along with the old ones) on my google map (thus on my blog as well). -But they simply don't. No new photos link automatically to my google map.
Is there any way to make the connection between flickr and google maps dynamic? Or am I doing something wrong? Becouse now after each new photo I have to grab geoRSS feed put it again on my google map and embed it again on blog.
Oh and thanks for reading this. I really admire your site.
@ Marek... It looks like you are doing all the correct steps. I need to test this out I haven't done anything like this in awhile. Since that last post I made actually. I'm not sure there is a dynamic way to make flickr and gmaps connect.
You have really stumped me and I think there should be a way. I'll be looking into this. Check back if you find a way and I'll do the same. Glad you enjoy the site!
hi mike..
the first time i bought nokia n82 black, there was a menu icon when u go to the menu.. it was in the upper left side, (like the old symbian in nokia n70). but when i installed themes, suddenly the menu icon is disappeared. i've hard reset the phone, but the menu icon never comes out..
Thanks,

Hi Mike,
Great blog on N82.
I'm a N73 user recently switched to N82.
Everything work great except one nifty issue.
Example is you have Rossi with couple of numbers on his name, mobile, home and office. You know how those little icons to differentiate between mobile and a landline?
Well, seems like this feature is no longer available. I had missed call from a friend calling from home and mobile. On my missed call logs, it showed two missed call but the icon is showing mobile icon.
The same goes for dialed calls and received calls.
Hope you can help.
Thanks.
Hello ...nice to see this blog as i am experiancing for the first time and i hope ill get my problems fixed concerning nokia n82.I have bought N82 10 days back and rite after 2 days it was freezing constantly..i check the latest firmware which was there so no need of upgrading then i thought to remove my micro sd card from the slot and Hurray It was fixed and everything was running smooth but just for one day. Next day it agains hang when i remove it from my pocket ..it was hanged with screen display light on high contrast. I remove battery and started about 4-5 times and then it was okay again...but its happening about twice everyday. Its freezing same as with the screen brightness on the high level or sometimes screen is black and no key works...dont know what to do..Please help me what should i do...what should be a possile fault and also one thing more my firware is 20.0.062 which is the latest i believe....Ive got Windows vista and i even tried to re-install the firmware but the updater said that windows vista will be supported soon...what about now..how should i re-update my firmware via Vista?? Please help
FARHAN
@ Sutepen... I really don't know what your talking about. maybe you can provide a screenshot of what yours looks like right now. Try using a default theme and see if it comes back.
@ Rossi... Yes this a problem with the firmware I believe. Hopefully Nokia fixes this.
@ Farhan... Sounds like your memory card or something on it is corrupt. Make sure you never install themes or applications on your memory card. What I would do is re-format it by going to Tools, Utilities, Memory, Options, Format Memory Card. Make sure you back up all your important stuff on there. Only use the memory card for media from now on. Hope this helps.
hi mike...
this the screenshot for the first time i bought the phone..
http://rapidshare.com/files/125454529/11.jpg.html
after that the icon menu is disappeared..
thanks..
Sutepen
Mike..
Thanks for such a quic response and really appreciate your concern...The Thing is i have already removed my sd card since one week and not using it any more but still it it hangs once or twice a day in the same method...
what should i do now?
FARHAN
@ Sutepen... I see what you mean now, and it looks as though indeed it is gone. I have no idea why it's gone, but I am glad it is. I think it made room for larger icons in our menus.
@ Farhan... Not sure what to do. Maybe you need to perform a hard reset. I can't remember the code off hand but you can find it here on my blog just do a search for "hard reset". make sure to backup all your contacts and important data, and keep in mind you will lose your apps as well so make sure you have them saved on your computer somewhere.
Mike..its too late for that now as my N82 is not booting nymore now and i even tried the hard reset but no use..so i just gave it to the "NOKIA CARE CENTER"in my city "dubai".
have to refer them after one week...Hope ill get it back alive.
FARHAN
Ok I have a very weird problem. I own the nokia N82 black with newest firmware...
youtube webpage suddenly stopped working. Either when loading video the browser crashes or it simply will not load the video :-( Any ideas?
Not sure why it's doing that. No problems here. You should just use Mobitubia.
Hey mike i downloaded some themes and installed the,. saved them to my phone memory. Where do i go to activate the theme?
hey mike,
i posted this in a earlier thread but hope i can get a faster response from you, when try to go on maps a messege pops up saying "network usage disabled, you can enagle it from application settings" i tried going there and couldn't find anything, if you could help me out i would be very grateful
-SKS
@ Vinh. Where did you save the theme or did you already install it? If so go into Settings> Personalization > Display and you should see it around there.
@ SKS. Hmm I never seen that error before. are you talking about Nokia Maps or Google Maps?
i think it's nokia maps -sks
Hey mike, where is the "settings" menu? i cant seem to find it or its missing. i can only see "tools"
hi mike
was wondering if you had an idea how to rotate the standby screen into landscape, like the n95 can do when u slide the multimedia keys? i have tried all apps like rotateme and landscape pro, yet no luck, and i tried with and without the inbuilt rotation set to both on and off.. now im thinking the only way is to hack the phone.. apparently wen u use rotate me and tilt the standby screen while dialing a number, the standby rotates, but thats all i have achieved so far.. apparently it involved 2 files, standby.exe and idle.exe (or something like that) and one of the 2 obviously needs to be hacked.. any ideas guys? itd be really helpful, to have the standby in landscape would make the mobile look so cool! hope some one can help. thanks
Hi Mike
This may not be in the right section.
But i have not had any luck with getting Table soccer or pyPoziomica to work on my phone.
I've updated to the newest firmware (V20.0.062) and i am using Python v1.4.4. However when installing both programs i get "Component 'python for s60' missing".
Space invaders works brilliantly but i would like to get these two working too
THanks for your help!
@ Vinh... the settings menu should be under tools
@ Vince... i don't think it's possible right now. maybe with the next firmware.
@ Chet... it's weird you get that error. make sure you have the latest version of python. there might be a newer one.
Hi Mike
I've had my N82 black for about a month and am pretty disappointed with the gallery load time. It doesn't seem to matter whether I'm shooting to either internal memory or SDHC card, opening the gallery always takes around 30 secs to load images. I find this poor for such a high-end device, is this usual behaviour?
In case you're wondering, I'm not talking about dozens of albums here - there are currently only about 30 pics on my device, all stored in the same directory.
Thanks
Jim
i just got my nokia n82 yday and while i was playin wit de gps, my phone hang. After a while, blank screen appears and the on off button doesnt seems to work. so i tried removing the battery and restart again but the same problem still occurs. Can i reboot it or shld i send it back to nokia?? pls help me!!!
Hi Mike
Not long had my n82 black now, loving the sheer amount of things it can do but im finding i have a similar problem that Mozzer had (WLAN attempting a connection every few seconds or so and draining battery life drastically!) and i noticed that he seem to have solved it with deleting the WLAN access points, however im not the most technical minded person and was wondering how u go about doing this?as i dont want to resort to a hard reset if i can help it :(
If you could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Maffy
@ Jim... That is extremely unusual i have 352 photos right now and my gallery takes about 3 seconds to load. you either have a corrupt file on your memory card or a bad memory card. try backing up all your media on your memory card and re-formatting it. then put all your images back on the card and see if its still slow. if that doesn't work then you should try a hard reset.
@ 2 posts up. Shouldn't be doing that. Do you have the black version? If you have the silver make sure you have the latest firmware. Did you buy it new? I would send it back to Nokia if it doesn't work properly. Try performing a hard reset first to see if that solves your problem.
@ Maffy... go to Tools > WLAN Wiz. Make sure you have your WLAN scanning set to off from the standby screen. Check back and let me know if you get it fixed.
Thanks Mike but im not sure what you mean by this ive made sure tools-settings-connection-show WLAN availability is set to never but i cant seem to do this through the standby screen or WLAN Wiz. Apologies if im displaying my stupidity here.
Maffy
hard reset??? how to do it?? thx for the advice
@ Maffy. Did you figure out your problem.
@ previous post. Go to the top of this site and in the search type "hard reset". I don't remember off hand and I'm posting this from my phone. Let me know if this works.
Hi, Mike. I've been an avid follower of this blog ever since I'd gotten my hands on my shiny black N82. I've gotten it for slightly over a month now, but I haven't gotten any problem until recently.
It's only now that I've started using the Internet on the N82 and every time I click to EXIT the Internet, it will give me a "System error" message. There is an OK button to click but it is on a loop - ending only when I switch the phone off in desperation.
Do you have any idea what is wrong with it?
Thank you.
Hi, what happens if you plug normal headphones (no mic) into the N82 and a phone call comes in? Do you have to unplug it to talk or can you hear through the headphones and talk into the phone's mic?
Hi Mike,
Got the problem sorted, backed up all the stuff from the phone on pc suite and just done a hard reset, seemed to work although interesting to note NOT to restore the settings from the back up as this just leaves you back where you started with regards to the WLAN connecting every few seconds.
Thanks
Maffy
Hi Mike,
I would just like to congratulate you on one of the most oustanding blogs ever. It has everything an N82 user wants. Thank you very much :D
I've just had one little niggle though. I've recently been addicted to looking for new themes for my N82. I've come to love Pizero and his new themes and especially his menu icons. However, when i install the theme (not the default ones) all my menu icons are the same. I get custom icons whenever i enter into a submenu though. Any ideas on how to help?
Thanks alot!
Hi again Mike
Looks like I managed to sort out my slow gallery load issue by following your tips. Everything was lightning fast without the memory card, and a reformat improved things no end. Now about 4-6s rather than the 30+ of before. I'm running an 8Gb Sandisk, and would guess that read times will always get slower the larger the card size - is that true?
Changing subject - how about a feature on GDesk? Great UIQ app, recently ported to S60!
Jim
@ der Junge/das Mädchen ... I've never seen that error. You might want to do a hard reset on your phone.
@ Paul... I do it all the time. Your phone's mic will pick up your voice and you can hear through the headphones. Sometimes I don' have to pick up the phone, the caller can hear me perfectly even if the phone is a few feet away on the desk.
@ Anonymous, two posts up... Hi. Thanks for the kind words about the blog. I think I know how to fix your problem. Go to your menu, push options, and turn off icon animations. Let me know if that works.
@ Jim... glad that solved your problem. I'm sure the read time may get slower as the memory cards get bigger. hopefully not too slow though. About GDesk, I've tried it and it really slowed down my phone. Maybe I'll still do a feature on it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hi Mike,
This site is awesome, pretty much the first site I check each day. Anyhoo, I hope this hasn't been asked before, but in order to use the wi-fi at university, I have to sign in. Once I sign in a window pops up which refreshes my 'sign in' every 255 seconds. After that time, the s60 browser will go to that window and refresh it which is fine. However, if I'm NOT using the browser when it needs to refresh, say I'm in Gallery, and I use the web again, I'm redirected to the sign-in screen again. This is annoying. Or even if I'm watching a YouTube video, which won't let the browser redirect to the sign in window, I have to sign in again. Also, is there a way to enable pop-ups in Opera Mini, so I can try that browser?
Thanks,
Dryden
Hey Mike..
Finally i got my phone back from repair...They say it was the LCD and the software..i didnt believe about the LCD though..but they charged a lot for a repair..Have you or anyone noticed the hang problem as maybe the several buttons pressing together while your phone is inside your pocket????? i experianced it today and before also few times. Please comment on that.
FARHAN
Mike..
One More Thing..Can we perform for a hardreset while your phone has a white screen??
FARHAN
Hello, I have little question: can You check if Nokia Search v.4.0 application (integrated in active standby screen) search in all fields of contact on Your phone? If I have many telephone numbers assigned to one contact, it will find it only if I type first number in search field.
Example contact:
John Doe
Mobile: 123
Home: 456
Search for "123" finds "John Doe", search for "456" finds nothing!
Same thing is with note fields assigned to contact - it only finds text in first note, others are omited. I don't know if it is by design or it is a bug but this great application becomes useless... Can You check if Your phone behaves in same way? Or maybe there is any option that is set wrong on my phone?
Thanks
Kamil
hello guys,i am facing the problem with my new black n 82 device. after 1 month of purchase of that mobile, down speaker stopped working. i gave for repair and after a day the upper speaker stopped working. is anyone facing the same problems? please reply dude what you did?
hey why does the phone hangs when we open gallery???????
hey can anyone tell me which is the software for n82 for hiding the stuff or data from our phone?
@ Dryden. Your best bet is to leave the web browser open. This may drain your battery more but I don't have another solution. Make sure you go into your browser settings and tell it to save your passwords.
@ Farhan... I've never had that problem. Hopefully you'd get it resolved. About the white screen, your best bet is to pull out the battery and reboot the phone.
@ Kamil. I have no experience with the search so I can't say. Hopefully someone else can answer your question.
@ sandeep... see if you can get a new phone from Nokia through the warranty program. Thats a horrible problem.
@ sidh... that shouldn't happen. try to do a hard reset of your phone. make sure you first back it up. for your other question, there is an application that can lock your programs and documents. i can't remember the name of it i'll try to find it. it costs $$$ though.
A few days ago I received an email from MyNokia saying that there is a new software update for my n82. I have read similar reports around the web. But when I checked the software updater I found that there wasn't a new firmware available. This could mean that a new firmware is coming soon, one that will add the new menu transitions like the n81.
What do you think?
James.
@ James... I've seen those reports as well. Not sure what Nokia is up to maybe we have a firmware update coming.
Hi,
A follow-up to my previous post:
"Every time I click to EXIT the Internet, it will give me a "System error" message. There is an OK button to click but it is on a loop - ending only when I switch the phone off in desperation.
Do you have any idea what is wrong with it?"
I've done the hard reset and with a 'clean, empty' phone, I went online, browsed a bit and exited the Internet and went to the stanby page. Everything was fine - no System Error message.
I then restored all my data back to the phone, and went to the Internet again but this time, the system error msg shows up. So I suspected that it might be one of the data that I restored.
Did a hard reset again, restored only calendar entries, contacts and settings. This time though, no system error msg after exiting Internet but the "SEARCH FOR WLAN" icon on the standyby page is gone.
Question: Will the case of the missing icon be any harm to the phone/settings?
Also, I couldn't read a number of SMSes in its entirety. When I select an SMS to read, it doesn't direct me to the whole SMS like it normally would. This persisted also after the first hard reset.
I honestly love this phone, but with kinks like this, I don't know if it's worth it.
If I were you I would start from fresh. Maybe just save your Calendar entries and thats it. Same goes for your contacts.
Get rid of everything else. Bummer you have to do this but I see no other solution to your problem. I've never seen this before.
Alrighty, thanks for the suggestion, Mike. I hope no one else experiences this. It is a hassle.
where is the black n82 made in???
Hi there,
Just wanted to know if there is a way to remove just the "search:Internet and My content" from the main screen. I know how to remove all the icons, but I want to just remove that one. Any help is welcome as that is the only thing annoying me about this phone :)

HI
I bought my n82 about a week ago and I feel let down by nokia ,the wallpaper does not fit the full screen, the screen flickers alot, the buttons are not very refines and Most importantly icant turn off threcamera sounds , can you help me ??
thanks
Hi Mike,
Got my N82 about 2 months ago now and all, besides the odd issue with the battery life difference between it and my old w810i, was going pretty smoothly. Last week however, I was slightly alarmed to find that all the photos I had taken, and had stored on my memory card, were deleted automatically when my phone ran out of battery! The same thing seems to have happened last night (though my memory card claims 384mb used when it only shows 5 or so photos on there). Has anyone else experienced this? Are my photos gone?
Thanks
BingPopcorn
@ colin chong... sorry buddy i don't know how to get your language pack back. i've never had to do anything like that. if you need to do a hard reset type *#7370# Good luck
@ Vass... As of right now there is no way to remove that section. I agree it is annoying.
@ Harkirat... I don't know what else to do. I would pressure them for a replacement phone.
@ Born. The wallpaper cannot be set to full screen. I complained about it in my recent "firmware" post a few days ago. Not sure why your screen is flickering or buttons are not refined. sounds like you have a defective device. i would send it back.
@ BingPopcorn... I've never heard of that happening. when you try to plug your phone into the computer and view the device do you see your images? i've had my battery run out on me many times and have never had this problem.
thanks mike,but u know wat they r saying,they say it is not tha problem of phone it might be posible that this phone doesn't work in ur area. i asked them to prove this,because previously wi-fi of my cell works fine every where.
n one more thing i asked them that if they knoe that this phone not work in my city or country they why they sell here.
When I view the device via my computer there are no image files to be seen,
Thanks
BingPopcorn
WLAN problems? check this out..
http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=connectivity&thread.id=13186
Sorry for a stupid question but presumably my phone connects to the internet to upload to flickr? I only ask as it must do it so quickly that I can't spot it connecting. If this is so- where do I need to look to define it's access point?
Thanks,
Si
ps. does nobody else have trouble with the red focus light appearing in photographs?
Hey Mike,
I just got my N82 2 days ago after MONTHS of waiting and gathering as much feedback about it as humanly possible. It has everything I've heard going for it, and a little more.
Although I've read around here about some users having problems with their keypads creaking; is that very common with these phones, even early on?
Actually, my main question is regarding how to manage my files. I've been downloading some apps and I wasn't sure if I wanted to save them in my phone memory or my memory card. Where can I manage them, on the device or through PC suite?
Thanks, Perry--forever in debt to Nokia for developing such a device.
hey
how to turn off my camera sound?
thanks!
ckin
Anonymous,
I don't think it's possible. We can have Mike confirm this, but I'm pretty certain.
Perry
Hey Mike! you are very helpful! Im just wondering where to put my downloaded themes(put them in ''insta'' folder but im not certain if its right. And btw Im using X-plore.. Where should I put my downloaded themes?
Many thanks /Rob
Sorry for the double post.. Should be ''install''' folder..but they arnt showing up in the installmanager..I have an cracked phone so I don't need symbian signed files.
Many thanks /Rob
Hey Mike,
Did you hear about the app called eyePlay? It uses hand motion (in front of the camera) to navigate through your phone. If you did, do you know where to download it?
hi.
did you have any idea how to read e-book in .lit format?
thanks.
lya
Hey Mike,
Scratch my first question--I've figured it out.
I do want to know about the Nokia Radio App, as well as other apps. Scenario: I'm using my local WLAN network for the radio app, but then I move as far away as possible without the app freezing or losing connection. Does it switch to my network provider's internet (T-Mobile) without my consent?
Thanks, Perry.
Sorry, ONE more thing.
GPS DOESN'T work using a WLAN access point? I've read this somewhere, yet it's been working for me. Is this another case where it's switched to my network provider?
I've just checked my Packet Data counter, and shows the following:
All Sent Data: 8.78 kB
All Received Data: 33.39 kB
I guess I shouldn't be worried, but I'd still like to know.
Thanks again.
Hi, andisbabes here. I have had my n82 for a few months and apart from having a few camera faults, then phone now states 'connection error' nearly everytime i make a call. This doesn't allow me to make or receive a call, but can always make and receive texts. As i said, this is not all the time but about 90% of the time.
Please help
Holy Smokes! I'm gone for a few days and look at all these questions. Hope I can answer them all good.
@ Si... Look under the Share Online application.
@ focus light problem... I don't have that problem. Can you go into more detail and leave a screen name. Thanks!
@ Perry... The creaking keypad problem was really common on the silver version. I've been using a black N82 for about 3-4 months and have no creaking problems here. About the apps, I made a few posts about making sure you always install apps and themes on your phone memory and leave your card for media. It will make your phone faster. You can install apps from PC Suite bad can only delete them from the App. Manager
@ ckin... mine turns off when i silence the profile or turn off warning tones. not all n82 product regions can do this. it depends on your product code.
@ Rob. You should be able to just install the themes and it will place them for you. If your saving the actual .sis file to your phone you can put it in the "others" folder and save it for later.
@ eyePlay question. I've never heard of it. If you find a link let us know.
@ Perry... No the Radio app won't do that. It will just disconnect. About your GPS question, i've never heard of that.
@ andisbabes. Sorry I've never seen this problem. Maybe it's a problem with your sim or carrier?
Thanks Mike!
The Radio App. is by far my favorite. (MobiTubia is a close 2nd.)
Hi Again,
Sorry, it was me - Si, posting the p.s. about the focus light. Thanks for pointing me to the application. The focus light comes on as i lightly hold it and then goes off, but as i press it in fully to take the photo it flashes once more, meaning it appears in the photo.
Here is an example

Hi, I'm having problems connecting my phone to a wlan connection. Every time I try to define an access point it asks me for a Pre-Shared key for WLAN and I'm not too sure what that means... I've gone to the nokia website and watch the tutorial for how to connect using WLAN and it never said anything about a pre-shared key =S
hi i got a n82 in new delhi.the phone has been working fine.but yesterday i dropped it.nothing has been damaged physically.but the display has been scratched as i didnt have a screen guard on it.and a slight scratch near the usb port.my question is are only the front and rear covers available from geniune manufacturer or the whole body part i.e, the speakers side including volume rocker key is also replacable?Also it seems tp me that the display has shifted a bit backwards.is it my virtual assumption or has anyone encountered a similar problem?
Thanx in advance.
Saurabh
@ Si... Wow that does not look good at all. You may want to send it back to Nokia.
@ Tim... The WLAN connection you are trying to use is protected by a password. You need to find the password or reset the router before you can use that data connection.
@ Saurabh... I haven't dropped my phone yet. You should be able to find a new casing on the internet somewhere but I have never seen one.
I need help please, I just got a nokia n82 silver and there is no way I can get the firmware update. When I launch NSU, at Step 2 when Searching for a connected phone... I get an error saying "Unable to find phone". Anybody can tell me what to do please
hi..
i am not able to access the phone memory and memory card..through pc suite...though all the drivers are installed.. i cannot connect in data transfer mode either..it is saying "memory card in use by another application"
@ try to restart your phone, it did the trick for me!!!
Hey, my phone is getting slow and I can't figure out why, i have 90.2Mb free on my ram and 27,7Mb free on my C drive. Do you think it is because of my C drive?
hey.
do i really need anti-virus for this phone?
thanks.
ish
Hey Mike,
I downloaded an Anti-Virus software off of MOSH, and now my phone keeps freezing despite numerous attempts of removing the battery and rebooting. Would letting the phone drain battery help? If not, is my only option getting a replacement?
Thanks.
Hi Mike,
My N82 keeps connecting to a wireless network every minute. I live in the UK and recently went to london where I connected to an unprotected wireless network. I live 200 miles away from London and my phone STILL tries to connect to it every minute. It's draining my battery life and now only lives a day.
This isn't the first time this has happened either as I had to get a new phone because my last one kept doing it.
Have you got any ideas? Because right now I'm tempted to throw my phone against this wall.
Many thanks
Alex
Hi Alex,
FWIW I've got exactly the same problem with my N82 tenaciously hanging on to wireless networks, even when I manually disconnect. I find that I have to go out of range of *any* wireless network, and then manually delete the access point under Tools -> Settings -> Connection -> Access points. My phone gets really quite warm while it's doing this, and the battery life is even worse than normal.
I'm absolutely certain that this is a bug. Watching the network traffic it generates, it requests (and gets) an IP address via DHCP, but then it ignores it and then just sits there making IPv6 DHCP broadcasts. Cheers, Nokia.
I feel so disappointed with my N82; it's slow, clunky and doesn't feel like the software is quite ready for production.
Cheers
- Ian
Hi!
I recently bought me a new 8gb MicroSD to put in my n82 and I just copied the stuff over from my old card to the new one, and while I was at it threw on some more music.
The problem is now that the mediaplayer won't update my musiclibrary, it just shows 93 songs, which I think I had on my old memory. I try to update but it it doesn't recognize any new songs.
What could be the problem?
/Jesper
i download the n-gage application in my n82 v 20.0.062 then when i start the program it says system error
plzzz help me mike!!!
if i change my font, can i change it back to my origanal font?
i replaced my LCD display of N82 two days back after that i am facing a problem of my phone get automatically shut-off two to three times a day please help me to fix this issue
@ Jesper.....I also upgrade my SD card to a 8gb, and I believe you need to put your music in your SD Sounds directory
@ anonymous.... look at how many anonymous questions there are here. At least leave your nickname at the bottom of your post. I'm not gonna be able to answer all the "anonymous" questions because I can't refer back to a specific person.
@ ish... no you don't need an antivirus for the n82 or anyt S60 phone. The Symbian OS is already secure enough.
@ Alex & IAN... did you figure out your problem. Click on the WLAN scanning on your standby screen and turn it off. It shouldn't do it anymore. Maybe you have an application open that is set to use WLAN. You guys might have a faulty handset.
@ Jeeper... format your card and then copy only songs you want from your computer. don't copy all the contents of the old memory card.
@ the last 3 questions... sorry I can't help you with any of those problems. As for the n-gage problem, make sure you first uninstall all versions of ngage then install again.
hello mike i unstall my n-gage application then install again then it appears two n-gage icon..one says system error again the other one is demo version...help plssss
hello mike i unstall my n-gage application then install again then it appears two n-gage icon..one says system error again the other one is demo version...help plssss
@ Mike: Unfortunately I haven't found a solution. I'm pretty sure it's a software problem, as I have a friend with an N95 that exhibits the same symptoms. I think it's something to do with the phone not recognising the way the DHCP reply is formatted, despite it being valid.
I'm going to play with my DHCP server and see if I can figure out exactly what combination of parameters confuses the phone. Unfortunately it's not the only bug I've found... importing new CAs doesn't work properly either.
Forgot to say: disabling wireless scanning doesn't help. Astonishingly there isn't a "switch wifi off" option anywhere, at least not that I can find!
Very happy to be a N82 black edition owner since last month, but there is still one problem which really annoy me, is the N82 always crashed when playing MP3 using the built in Music Player?
I already have the latest firmware (v20.0.62), and I even hard reset my phone as well as format my microSD, but the problem still persist. The music player always crashed after played for few seconds, and if I left the music player play in background mode, the phone crash as well. The video center just work well and didn't crash at all.
Any ideas??? would it be my Kingston 4gb microSDHC class4 giving this problem?
hello mike can i update my n82 v20.0.062 in the same firmware version?
hey Mike, you should ckeck out the new browser Skyfire. I'm loving it and I know I won't be the only one.

Hi,
Is there any browser which supports UTF-8 Encoding for Nokia N82? I want to see webpagges which have content in the language "Tamil"(A South-Indian Language). Is it possible to manually add the language fonts into the Nokia N82?
Hi there Mike, I have been having this nokia N82 Titanium Edition for more than two weeks now. when i bought it, it was having Firmware version 11.*** smthn, so i just upgraded to 20.0.062, now it seems like i'm having few problems.
Firstly, my fonts are a bit thick (provided, i don't remember how it used to be in the previous firmware, but it is different from my friend's N82 Black). In the active standby also the font appears to be bold and the search feature takes almost two lines. The fonts in my friends N82 looks more clear (like that in microsoft cleartype technology)
Secondly, My Menu does not seem to show the menu icon like previous phones, but rather shows a simple Heading type text saying menu. All the other things are fine as of now. Previously i had the menu icon, but after restarting it seems to be lost. (NB: Happened the same with my friend's N82 Black)
Is there any way of getting a solution for this?? This font thing seems to be really annoying?
Nokia N82 (12.01), V20.0.062, RM-313
And btw ur blog seems to be quite cool. M impressed!
hello mike can i update my n82 black v20.0.062 to the same firmware cause i having trouble in my n82 v20...
hi mike, firstly ive recently found that my call log keeps deleting itself for no known reason! ive checked my settings and the log is set to 30 days, however it only seems to last a day? (if it helps i have been using the content copier as of later on my n82, duno if this would have any affect on my calling log??)
Also after getting back from holiday ive noticed my battery life has decreased so much, now it lasts about 15 hours (at a push!) and this is with not even using it that much? and ideas, i went back to phones4u where i got the handset they want me to buy another one?! should i contact nokia instead?
Finally! ive scratched my phones quite a lot as of late! i was thinking of buying an offical housing off of ebay and just changing the front myself, (looks easy) i just want to know that if i do open my handset will it become dust filled an annoying! as has happened on a previous sony ericsson of mine.
many thanks
hope u can get back to me asap.

Hi Mike, I need your help plis. I'm from Chile, and my brand new black N82 arrive just yesterday. I don't know why, but it constantly hang and restart from the very beggining. I did the firmware update (despite this N82 comes with the latest one), but still do the same all the tame. However, when I plug the power cable, this DOESNT happen. Can you help me or guide me plis? Can be a inside electronic card problem? Do you think I gotta go to Nokia service? Thanks for your help and sorry if I write something wrong (this is not my native language).
hi.. i just bought my N82 like 2 weeks ago! and im from philippines.. I noticed now that my left keys 1 4 7 * and even the call keys are creaking.. what do you think i should do? I didnt buy it in nokia store but in a retailer and it has a 12 months warranty.. do you think the nokia will replace my phone even though i didnt bought it to them?
I've got to say I'm really annoyed with this phone. I've had enough of the problems it's given me. It's a real shame because it has the potential to be a really great phone but I've had two and neither of them have lived up to their expectations.
I posted a while ago about my N82 connecting to a wireless network 200 miles away - that is now sorted. Thanks Ian for your advice.
Every time I download any kind of file - even the NGage application from the NGage website it says that the file is corrupted. I have had this phone for a while and I've tried many different applications and none of them have worked (including themes.)
The earpiece speaker is crackly and distorted and not very loud. The screen is very easily scratchable and the keys creak.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this file corruption problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Alex
Hi,
Does the N82 has the intake wi-fi facility:ie. If my office is centrally wi-fi, can my phone access the internet through such a wi-fi.. Without using the networks internet..
Vishal
Hi,
Is there an option in n82 to change the active standby color?
hey i cant watch videos in youtube mobile or emtube or youtube mobile media everytime its says cannot connect to the server please help

Hi Mike! I have a question about n82's headsets (HS-43). The problem is that i think then i used it first time, the bottom button worked like play/pause in player mode, but after some use it stop... But i' m not sure about this, maybe it was a dream :))
If so, maybe somehow it is possible to use some button on headsets for play/pause?? Maybe some progs, cheats or whatever...
Thank you!
Hi I recently bought n82 black with the latest firmware and i put 20 mp3 in sd card in a mp3 folder and listen to them all normally.Every time i reconnect it to pc to add some more they dissappear as if i never transfer them.What's wrong?Any ideas appreciated.
@Vishal - yes you can bypass the phone network and surf the internet using your office WiFi, just use your WLAN scan. Put your browser on always ask as default and it will ask before connecting to any network
@Anonymous,the new mp3 disappear or the old ones? and from where, the music player? once you have added new tracks to the sd card, try and refresh the player and see. also are you putting them in the sounds directory or somewhere else?
@ssol try using mobitubia. and what acces point are you using? does it ask for the connection type?
@simp019 - dont think you change the clour of the active standy...anyway it should be a transparent bar with the icons? just try changing your theme and see
@alex try using the opera mini to download files or maybe smartget (free)download manager. just google for smartget. regarding the keyboard creak and earpiece speaker distortion, maybe you can take it to the Nokia Care centre. for the screen try putting on a "Zagg Invisible Shield" or "Martin Fields"
@richel, 12 mnths warranty is valid as long as you have the proof of purchase. Of course, they may not replace it (depends on the regio) but you an try and live with it if it's not too bad. Nokia Care Centre's are not always good
@PICHO, try taking the memory card out and see if it works without a problem. sometimes a cheap/duplicate memory card may cause problems. If that does not solve it, you can try a soft reset and if nothing else works then a hard reset to see if it fixes the probelm. and also whats the firmware on your phone, is it the latest? (try *#0000# and see...lates firmware is the v20 for N82)
@Waas, actually one of the tips to make your s60v3 phone is to set the call log limit to one day. however it should not be definetly doing that on it's own unless specified. and after your vacation have you been using more of WIFi/video/Internet radio etc? that will bring down the charge FAST. also check if WLAN scanning is set to on by default. Also check your network settings in Phone>Network...dual mode drains the battery faster.
Also please be careful while changing the casing, i have read reports where people have said that the LCD is put on with extra strong glue.
@Musaid, the latest firmware update (v20) makes the phone lose the antialiasing feature of the fonts (stupid huh!) thats why they seem thick. the latest update also removes the Menu icon from the top (same for N95 also after the update)
@Rebecca, the product code of your N82 needs to be changed to Danish (it's free. this is a bit of complicated process and involved using the NSU and Nemesis suite. are you sure you cant live without it? :-)
@Oliver - download the theme from the site, use somethinglike Winzip/Winrar to unzip and extact it anywahere, say the desktop. Now connect your phone to the PC using the usb cable and start your PC Suite application ( if not installed already, please download the latest version of PC Suite from the Nokia site). In PC Suite you will see lots of icons. Cick on the one which says "Install Application" (just point your mouse over each of the icon and it will show the name of the icon). Once it opens, go to where you unzipped the theme file (desktop) and click it once to select it. Once selected, then click on the right arrow and follow the onscreen instructions. Once installed on the phone, it will show up on your themes list in Menu>Tools>Setting>General>Personalisation>Themes
@xbryan quite probably it's the microSDHC card. try copying an mp3 to your C: drive in the phone and see if plays fine. and also check where is your video recording being stored? is it the phone storage or external storage
@Tim - where are you using your phone to connect to Wifi? is it like a coffe shop or something? If it's asking for a key then you need ask the coffee shop guys. a Pre-shared key should be something like say netork123 etc. If its a home network you are talking about, you need to either fiddle around with the WiFi router and make the network open (where all your neighbors will be able to access your WiFi for free) or make it protected and set a key (select WEP if you are setting the key...it's decent enough for home networks)
@Anonymous - camera sound can be turned off in two ways. Change the product code using NSU to a Europe one or if it is an Europe one then install the ROMPATCHER and the NoCameraSound script for it. Of course before ROMPATCHER your will need to hak the N82 first and the hack can be removed before you give for any repair etc.
@Anonymous - if you downloading files directly on the phone, it asks where to save it. You can use a free app like SMARTGET to download files and manager them better. Dont crowd the phone memory with the downloaded apps. Save them on the memory card and when installing, install them in the phone memory (makes only a slight difference in opening and running the app). To see the files you have downloaded on the phone use the default File Manager (Menu>Tools>File Manager) or install something like Y-Browser (free) or more powerful X-plore (nagware...please be careful with this as you can mess your phone with it!).
Best is download on your PC, install using the PC Suite App installer and archive the installers in case you need to reinstall later for any reason.
@Mike - hope you dont mind mate, me answering these queries...it's just that so many people come to your blog and i hate seeing people not able to get answered as then they may be turned of the N82 (which is a lovely piece of technology!!). Agreed that one needs sometime to get familiar with the functionality and depth of S60 unlike some other phones which i can think off... :-)

@an: It was the default sd card of n82 the problem.Several people are facing the same.It seems that the sd card nokia provides with the phone is junk 1 out of 4 times.Solve it with a new one.
ok...i already knew the pair of earphones provided with the mobile is junk (not only Nokia, Apple iPod earphones are rubbish also). To get a great experience of music on the N82, maybe you could go for the Sennheiser CX300 in-ear earphones...For sub-$100, you get a pretty good pair of noise-reducing earphone (people in office will have to throw things at you to catch your attention if you get a pair :-)
hello, my n82 is very2 sluggish lately although i have upgraded the firmware to the latest one and deleted all the files(apps, mp3s, pics) in phone memmory and memory card. any idea on how to rectify this? thanks
hi there! im Enzyke. i own a n82 too. & oL i can say is, it ROCKS! But i hav a LittLe probLem, when im using my phone esp. in gaming, it heats very fast. What do u think is the probLem? is it in d cLimate or what? By the way, im from Philippines.
@naim - maybe you should reformat you phone and memory and reinstall the current firmware and see how it goes. the N82 is fast and it should not slow down after an update
@anon - during gaming or any intensive activities like having maps open and multitasking, it will heat up...but still the heat should be touchable right?
Hi Mike,
Stanley here..would like to know when will Nokia comes out with new firmware for N82? The V20 firmware seem still buggy.
hi.. i bought my n82 like 3 days ago.. and when the battery drains i charge it.. but the electricity here in my house suddenly went out.. so my charge is not yet done.. and im really worried now... do you think it will affect my battery life.. its my 1st time to charge it since its a brandnew phone.. anyone please!!!
I have been enjoying your site for some time now so thanks for the great efforts. I have been looking for a good Symbian bluetooth chat app. something free and simple but good so I can chat with people in my building via bluetooth. what do you recommend? John S.

Hi I'd like to expose my problem to you: I've updated my N82 and now i can upload my pics also through OVI, before i could do it only on flickr....but since then everytime i upload a picture on flickr if i go to look to tha map it shows always the same place, also if i have taken the pics in many different spots, far away many kilometers....the only way to solve the problem is to hard format to go back at the previous vs of the software, infact once i have uploadee there's no way to uninstall or go back.
Any of you had the same problem?
tnx in advance

Hey there, i just bought a black nokia n82(ithink it's the asia version unlocked) works great. i was fiddling with the radio and was wondering...what programs and functions do i get charged for using and which ones are free to use with the phone? i wanted to know because i noticed a message in the radio app that said something about network charges. hope to hear from you soon!
very handy website btw!
hi,is there a problem with the n82's external speakers? because my friend bought only 2 days the one speaker did not sounds at all.
@Anon, richel, meajmal - yes unfortunately there are some problems with the speaker which some people have been facing. i guess if the speaker has stopped working, then no choice but to take it a Nokia Service Centre. Maybe you could try and see if they will replace your phone. Or if you are in the US, you could try getting it replaced from the network operator. i can understand how it feels to have a brand new phone stop working or come up with hardware bugs!
@samantha...the msg in the radio app is all about the network data charges. Any app will tell you very clearly before askiing for any kind of payments.
However if you use the internet radio app or the Maps or GPRS these will be charged as per the rates laid out by your telephone/network service provider say Tmobile/AT&T in US or Airtel/Vodafone her ein India. Contact your network operator for further details on GPRS plans. And you could always use Wifi in home or in pubs if it is free...some hotspots are free...
@richel... all phones today use Li-ion battery's which last better with partial and frequent charges unlike the NiCd batter's of yesteryears...so no problem if your battery was partially charged. You only need to be careful that the battery does not get drained fully and the phone shuts off...such condition is bad for the phone and will decrease the lifetime of the battery.

Hi. Can the gps on the n82 work without internet connection? Is there any software that can do it?
@Anonymous
Yep, its possible. But you will not be able to get anything from maps application like Nokia Maps and Google Maps that uses internet connection to represent gps data with graphical/sattelite maps and the like.
@Anon - as Aaron mentioned you can certainly use GPS with offline mode. To use Maps you can download and save the maps on your phone using the Nokia Maploader. Then no data connection required. Google Maps wont work. And you can also try the Metro app for maps...it's free and is not so exhaustive but still good for a free app. Just dont expect Voice navigation and stuff...
Hi
Quick cosmetic question here about the N82. I seem to have a couple specs of duct behind the front glass. Tiny issue I know but they are bugging me. How easy is it to remove the front screen? Anyone had to do this? I see on various web sites you can buy an original Nokia front screen for not very much but is it hard to change. I will probably get it done if I acquire some mega scratches etc but thought it might be worth knowing?
Thanks

Hi,
Really like the site & what it offers, although, I have to admit it's based on my appreciation for the N82.
But...
Recently I noticed that when I set up a CD to copy to the phone via the PC Suite, I get a note saying that the Graceland interface wasn't working.
To cut a long story short I've:
--downloaded & installed the latest PC Suite from Nokia - not fixed,
--uninstalled all nokia apps from the pc, then re-installed from the nokia site - not fixed,
--uninstalled all nokia components again, then installed the earlier CD version that came with the phone - not fixed.
Also now, having problems even getting music transferred to the phone
I've rebooted after each change, & annoyingly, it's been working beautifully up to now.
Looking forward to someone please pointing me in a direction that might help me get my N82 talking to my music again.

HI there...i have n82 silver... for some reason my pictures are getting deleted automaticallyyy!!! does anyone know what is the reason?isnt it from removing the memory card and then putting it back! well i have no idea , can somebody help me
My wife has had her n82 for about 2 months. all was good until the last few days. when you turn it on its saying not enough memory to recieve messages. delete some data first. It also says similar when trying to fire up applications etc. Problem is, we have deleted nearly everything. all the pics save to the memory card, theres only 10-15 texts, no videos etc. The one pic saved on the phone and the one song for a ring tone have been deleted. The memory showed them as clearing some space but within 20 seconds it had filled it up. The memory manager states 132mb in use, 0kb free memory. we have no diea where all the free memory has gone. I've even deleted some unused applications to try and make space but with no time at all that free space has disappeared. It now wont recieve messages or do anything as it says theres no memory to run it. I've uploaded the latest firmware, backed up the contacts but cant back up anything else as it hasnt got enough memory to run PC Suite! Any ideas???? Will a hard reset sort it, or just hide the problems for a while. Also, having never done a hard reset, how do I reload applications afterwards? Is it just a case of running them off the phones files, or do you have to download them from the web etc.

Hi there,
I got my new N82 black and since I need to take care of it I bought a leather pouch with magnetic lock. I just want to know that will the magnet in the pouch affect my N82. Also I tested the magnet from inside its very feeble inside because it's been kept facing the top for the flap to close.

Hi,
I went camping this weekend and i left my n82 inside the tent and it probably got exposed to too much heat. I tried to turn it on but the screen is acting weird. all i see are colored lines but the phone seems to be working fine. i can still receive calls and make a call with the screen blank. any suggestions? i still have a warranty on the phone, you think nokia will repair it? thanks
When I go abroad my N82 last about 48hrs ten goes into meltdown. 48hrs back in blighty, it recovers.Very strange.
