Hello,

I have Nokia N78 phone. This phone works great, no huge issues with it. However, there is one issue that is bugging me. The issue is that the power of the FM transmitter is too low, even a good radio is unable to pick up the signal from the phone at even 20 cm distance (that is less then 100mW of power).  I do not believe this to be a hardware, or antenna issue. I believe that this is a software bug in the newest release of the Nokia N78 software, as the transmission was not this low with older software versions of Nokia N78. This issue also appeared after I did update the software to newest version on Nokia N78.

Information with *#0000#

Software Version: 30.011

Day software: 08-05-09

Special software version:  30.011.051.1

Day special software version: 08-05-09

Language version: 003

Type: N78

Type: RM-235

I have seen this same bug reported elsewhere on the web. But input from this place would be good.

Thanks for the help. Regards.

Doesn't anyone have a clue on what is going on ?

Yes, I have same kind a problem with my N79. Isn't that great working from Nokia?

I did test the antennas with GPS/WLAN and I always got 100% signal there. So the antennas are not a issue in this case.

I do believe that Nokia N78 and Nokia N79 use almost identical hardware and software.This software bug is quite annoying.
