major problem:

I've just bought the new N86 3 days ago, its amazing and great, but today I faced a really frustrating problem. The problem is with the FM Transmitter, whenever I try to activate it I get a message saying "Feature is not supported", now I read about the FM Transmitter allowance in my country and it is allowed (I am in singapore, and from http://www.nokia.com/fmtransmitter shows the status of singapore as YES allowed). Please help.

what version of the phone did you buy? was it intended for  your market or somewhere else? it is possible that it was meant for another market that does not allow this feature hence it will not work on your device.

After Many Hour of trying and testing the phone  

There is a bug in the software, For FM transmitter Problem.

Set ur Standby Themes to horizontal icon bar again and OFF the phone .

On it Back , everything will be  ok ! The FM can be use again.

What a lousy 1st batch Software Bug ver10.

Please Nokia please  Re look into ur Firmware Bug ! Everytime need consumer to Feedback then there will be a firmware upgrade ! Really bad !

i have had the same problem with china made orig. N86 8MP shipped to Germany code 0580415.

thanks for your help that made my Transmitter work again !

but to Nokia ! please dont sell 480 euro phones without testing them before.

i am disappointed about the build-quality of my N86 8MP. the slider is wobbly and it feels not

really solid in my hands....

MAybe is there any way to give phone in service to tighten the slider mechanismn ????? 

please expedite with firmware update to resolve the FM Transmitter bug.

I use FM every Day in my Car listening internet radio streaming.

Same here i love the Trance channel !

The internet Radio Rock ! FM transmitter rock too !

But the Bug suck. As long as u need to reset the phone just switch back to H icon back before switch off.

today i visited the nokia shop in cologne and left my N85 for Slider Replacement over there.

by the way i asked if the wobbly slider of my N86 is to be tightened by screws or anything else....

The technician told me that the amount of space between my N86 sliderpieces is normal and in between nokias tolerances.... darn ... and by the other way that the N86 is too new and that they dont have any spare parts to replace or remove availiable in shop...... :-((

lets see if they can remove my N85 s slider problem...

expect new firmware N86 soon...

[watari]

does the n86 slider wobble too?

[thomaspork]

The slider is not as solid as i supposed it is concerning the previews in some online magazines ...

.

I got my N86 8MP China-Origin and as i unboxed it , i found that there is an amount of space between upper and lower sliderpice wich causes the mobile phone to wobble if it is closed and if i only hold the phone between my fingers on the lowwer casepart in wich camera is build in. ...

When opened , i register everytime i write an SMS and pressing any of buttons of the upper handypart a klicky noise resulting of too much space between sliderpieces.

I fixed it now with tapestripes because Nokia Service told me that it is inner tolerances.

I think buying a N Series Nokia phone causes to expect high quality for example from Samsung sliders.

i have a D900i slider 3 jears old with NO problems.

if quality build of Nokia dualsliders become not better than please nokia , dont pruduce dual sliders and go back to single sliders .

[watari]

really? that sucks. i invested my hard earned money to get an n85 but m not happy with it bec of the movement esp when the slide is up and the top moves up and down. its irritating. right now im using another phone because i plan to sell it while its still tolerable. im worried it might get worse and ill be stuck with it

This is a Nokia user forum, I'm afraid, there's nobody here with the power to do what you ask. If you browse to the "software update" section of the site, there is a feedback page where you can send Nokia your suggestions for changes in software updates.

Hi all.

Just wanted to say that in relation to knighttan who left advice on how to sort the FM Transmitter issue, spot on!

Whet into store where I purchased the phone and they didn't have a clue!

Again, knighttan , thanks for your help.

Even after doing that the problem still persists!!! 

[ravieeevit]

knighttan dude you rock man.. I just bought N86 2 days back and I was quite impressed by the phone features but today the transmitter problem was a nightmare for me.. thanx dude a lot.. and seriously nokia should reconsider upgrading the software before launching so expensive phones..

[LadiesMan]

I do agree with you thomaspork!!  I think when they ship the product to online magazines they already check their product make sure there is no wobble or slider problem before they ship, but when we order their product they don't care about that.  If you want perfect phone you have to buy NOKIA 8800 LUXURY PHONE with no wobble and high quality build which is cost about $2000 US.  I think from now on I only buy touch screen phone NO MORE WOBBLE OR SLIDER PROBLEM FROM NOKIA!!.  In my opionin, iPhone is the best phone to buy in the future! NO MORE WOBBLE FROM NOKIA BUILD QUALITY!!!

My friend knighttan, you gave a great relief to my headache caused due to my recent software update to my N86. I too faced problem with FM transmitter after the update. I replaced my Soni Ericsson X1 model to Nokia N86 for two reasons. The feature FM transmitter and Camera 8mp. This N86 helped me to avoid carrying IPOD to listen music while driving. Thanks a lot for your support to the forum.. Santhosh, Kuwait
