If i have to, what type of hard reset is good for N79 with out losing its default applications like oxford dictionary, wave secure, nokia maps? Do i have to format memory card also? Pls answer all my questions.. plsssss

              Hi N79 users.. I have bought a N79 last week. Video recording was pretty good when i tried test shoots after the purchase. But now it starts to struck from the 5th secs itself.

Plssss help me... atually i was very happy with this phone.. but nowww :(

                    Also,
                    the new firmware available using FOTA is
                    v31.002



                    Which has correction of navi wheel.
                    Navigation touch wheel is too smooth now. and works for almost every menu

                    Its not like it was in v20 or v11

                      See, i was having confusion for which one to buy e63 or 371 or n73...
                      n73 i buyed

                      n m very happy.

                      Its fast
                      Its symbian(means tons of apps n games)
                      its ngage
                      its a big screen
                      its 2 loud speakers
                      its navi wheel
                      its black(black version is best in the three colour options)
                      and i updated it FOTA(firmware of the air)


                      FOTA: for indian users who don't generally understand this term. = it means that you update your firmware of mobile using GPRS connectivity offered on mobile by your service provider(vodafone,idea,etc.)
                      There's an application names SW Checker in the phone(pre-installed) which lets you update FOTA

                      -------
                      Also
                      Using NSU(nokia software updater), n79 can't be updated to the new version. So you have to update using FOTA


                      Good luck!



                      NSU: nokia software updater which allows you to download new firmware using PC and then update your firmware by joining your pc and phone by a cable.

                          I bought this phone for almost a month now and I have already visited Nokia Care twice. The problem was when I press on the "cancel" key the display garbles until such time that I dont see anythin on it anymore, just black screen, so brought it to nokia care, at first they changed the LCD and after about over a week same problem occured. Currently, my phone is still with nokia care and is on pending for they are still waiting for an available piece. I love the phone so much thats why I bought it and after these things happened im thinking of selling it for a cheaper price and buy a new one. Did you guys encounter this kind of problem?..

                                  Go to Connectivity>Wlan ... Refresh the list and if you are within any wi-fi network range, then the list of wi-fi servers will be available... Next to server name there will be written Known/Unknown. Scroll to server with Known written and the Options>Browse internet. I use this way in my E71.... Most probably it will be same in N79... Thanks
