Hi,

I have a major problem with my Nokia 6710.
I'll use the phone and it will stall and restart. Or during the course of the day look at my phone and it will be off.
After couple of days, It will not start up at all(Charge the battery to full).

I can't check software version, as I can't get it back on.
Any advice? As it just came back from repairs, have it for 5 weeks (2 weeks in repair).

Its me again, not that I want to complain or anything, just to feedback on my problem... Sent in for repair on Tues, got back the phone on Fri, Sat chatted for a while on it, it blanked out, managed to power it on, works well until Monday morning, power off by itself again, still can power on, so I guess just have to live with it... few hours later, auto powered off again, and this time, cannot power on anymore... luckily I brought my warranty card along, this would be the 4th time I sent it in for repair.. still have 2 days to go before I officially own the phone for 1 mth...

Hi, anyone can teach me
1. how to add my nokia handsfree to this handset. I could not locate the function to locate the add on feature.
2. How do i disable the power saver faeture? If i am driving the car with the GPRS on, the screen will black out after 90 sec? It defeats the idea of having a GPRS while driving.

many thanks!

The random zooming problem some users are having may be a setting in the phone. Go to Maps, Options, Tools, Settings, Navigation, Automatic Zoom, and change this to off.

I have had the 6710 for a week now. I'm generally happy with it, but I've had some problems with the GPS (which is why I bought it). Sometimes the GPS works and finds a position, but sometimes it just says "no gps signal", despite being in a place where I've had gps signal before, or in an open area with clear skies. Anyone else having these problems?

For all who have software problems with 6710 Navigator:
I read in a forum that a Nokia service person told that a new FW is coming the next few weeks, letīs say beginning of November.

The SAR value I googled (Nokia hasnīt listed the device) is 1,03.

What is the sar value(radiation and not price replying to anon) of this phone as it is not stated in nokia sar website.What sar value does it have for the types shipped to Middle East and North Africa.Thank you.

I'm afraid that it has a high sar rating that is why nokia delayed publishing it as to ppl to buy first.I MEAN 1.4 is pretty high and even 1.2Koreans now manage to not exceed 0.8 in any way on all their phones

> In reply to Alinda @ 2009-10-20 03:39 from ibaNpersonally i think this phoone rocks it has everything anyone could ever want in a phone
i think that people will only complain about somethin if they are not educated enough to use the phone
and that is a fact.nokia would never introduce something if they have not tested it themselves there would be no sense in that so big ups to the most user friendly phones internationally

I don't think dropping any phone is a good idea! If the phone crashes it's probably a RAM thing. I have 12 additional apps installed over and above what came with the phone (Opera Mini 5, Ovi Store Client, Gmail, Sports Tracker, N-Gage, Mobbler, Div-X Player, World Mate, T9 Nav, Handy Taskman, Handy Clock and Handy Converter) and it's okay. Taskman lets you know how much RAM you have. With all of that when I turn the phone on I have 45MB free RAM, but with a lot of apps open it drops quickly and below 20MB I've had one freeze and two re starts. So it's a case of being wise with how you use the device. It's speedy and generally won;t freeze unless you overload it with open apps. Just for comparison the N97 (the flagship) boots with 40MB free RAM even before the user installs 3rd party apps so the 6710 is not too bad.

Like I said before, the zoom bar is just really responsive and it will take some getting used to, but now I can't imagine not having it.

I'm happy with my device, I generally abuse mobile phones with customization and so far I am after nearly a month with this one.

When I first bought the Nokia 6710 I installed many third party softwares causing the phone to slowdown and eventually crash. I then uninstalled some softwares leaving only the Opera Mini, Bolt browser, CorePlayer, F-secure antivirus and OfficeSuite onboard. The phone is now back to normal and speedy.

I did not experience any problem with the zoom bar but my gps is currently down. The phone has dropped once and could not get gps signal and this drives me nuts. I'm gonna send the phone for a check and repair soon. Either the dropping incident or some 3rd party softwares has caused the gps to malfunction.

I advise you to test the gps before buying this phone and download softwares only from Ovi Store. And don't drop this device!
