I cannot setup my Yahoo mail on my N8. When I click on "add a new mailbox" and fill in the email address and password and press the forward button, I can see only the option "exchange activesync". Any solutions? Maybe I need to change something in settings?

I realized that I did not back up my contacts properly. no issue anymore. I bought the phone from my friend. she says it did that right out of the box. do not know why they did not return it. there is nothing covering the proximity sensor. I can unlock the phone on the side, but it's very frustrating. I also did reset the phone. did not work. I see there is a lot of people who had this problem, but no one is giving a solution. the phone is still in a very good condition. I thought that maybe it was just a setting problem. will give it in today. its my only option now.

this is a good detailed guide and should work for Sv3 also, but, as i was saying. I don't recommend it.

sunshine, 05 Aug 2014Hallo Guys Me again. Can someone tell me how to get my contacts back after restoring to fac... moreFirst things first, have you backed up the contacts?. If yes then you should have a very easy way with nokia suite to put them back in your phone. If not, it will be almost impossible. As for the sensor, this as mdn8 said, is commune among Nokia n8 (but only in ful bright sunlight). And the only thing i could think of, is the glass screen which could stop the sensor reactions in sunlight or powerful light. If this happens no matter what, then...hmmm, could be a hardware problem and that... could have no resolve. Anway, if you slide the lock button does't the screen turn on? This could be a small fix for this crappy issue.

faizan, 08 Aug 2014any one say me about n8 camrea ?Brother, N8's camera is still unbeatable & untouched in image & video quality, even by recent top androids are behind it. I compared the pics of N8 with the pics of Samsung galaxy S4, Sony xperia Z1, HTC One, & to every1's surprise, N8's pics were way ahead in detail, clear & sharpness & colour reproduction compared to other competitors. I felt so proud at that moment. So, trust blindly in camera as its the product of king in camera phones manufacturer, Nokia. But, if u are planning to buy N8 just now, i would not recommend you to go for it, as its a 4 years old phone & Nokia has stopped giving software support to this operating system, symbian. Many latest apps like instagram, line, bbm, viber- calling & skype-video calling are not compatible & will never come. Skype is present with messaging & calling features, but today morning i received a mail from skype, that they are retiring their services from symbian & skype would no longer work on symbian after few weeks. So, if your prime requirement is camera & budget is not an issue, then u can go for lumia 1020 (best cameraphone till now with 41 megapixel sensor), lumia 1520 or for latest lumia flagship, wait for lumia 930 which has 20 megapixel pure-view sensor.

The same happened to me when i installed f-secure & other time when i installed kaspersky antivirus. Frankly, N8 doesnt need any anti virus, so if u have installed any anti virus apps, then uninstall them. & if u cant delete such app directly from the phone, then connect it with the pc & delete the culprit apps. Hope this would resolve your issue.
