Hello friends,

Another problem with N97 (like usual)

This morning i restart my phone and surprise...won't start it get stuck on Nokia logo,but if i pull out the memory card (4GBMMC-Kingstom) it starts normaly,i tryed 5-6 times and it starts only with memory card out,and after i start the phone,i put the memory card back it see the memory card without problems,but if i restart the same problem...any sugestions how to fix this situation without start up my phone with mmc pulled out or without formatting the mmc?

 Thanks'a lot,I hope that you guys have any solutions

try to format the memory card and then put back it again.

[britzinelul24]

Thanx but i do not want to format because i have app installed on him.

I will wait for another solutions and then format

Anyway i think that if I format it will work again,but it is not normal because probably after a period of usage it will do the same

Perhaps there is corrupt data on your MMC, or some kind of dodgey file or virus? Format sounds like your only option I'm afraid.

80% of N97 Owners likely NOT GETTING v20 Soon Hate to be the one to Pee on your Fires - When v20 is released and I believe it will by the end of October, but only for Generic Handsets. 80% of you will either get it late, very late or not at all. Any one in the UK will get it late. For those of you with branded phones will wait months if you get it all that is. You will be eligible for upgrades before you see v20. When you do, it will be bastardised by the networks and no doubt be full of bugs. Branded Phones will never perform anywhere near as well as generic ones. I feel so sorry for the 80% that have psyched themselves up for v20 only to be bitterly dissappointed. If the N96 is anything to go by, Generic phones will have v30 long before branded and UK non branded handsets get v20. If I were you, I wouldn't waste any time on this forum - v20 is a sure thing now - but get onto the Vodafone eForum, 02 forum, T-Mobile, Orange, Carphone Warehouse etc. etc. Nokia, all be it late have delivered (except to UK generic clients). The Service Providers will absolutely, unrepentantly, mercilessly torture you for the months to come. You guys think Nokia are bad - Go look at some of the forums above - Nokia are a walk in the park by comparison. Nokia have a valid excuse, they are developing, improving, fine tuning, testing etc. At that point, the networks have no excuse - They will tell you that they are improving and testing - what do they know more about a N97 than Nokia, the people that designed and built it initially. Nokia have spent months to perfect firmware for this beautifull device, they will ruin it. If Vodafone for example, wrote better firmware than Nokia, Nokia would employ them to do the job in the first place - Good business practice - Nokia do out source many other things including apps - for all we know N97 firmware may be the responsibility of a software house outside of Nokia. Maybe that is the reason they do not or cannot offer more information as to firmware updates. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but You Know It's True - All the evidence is clearly there - Wake Up smell the Coffee!!!

Thumbs up to the reply above !

 Nokia doing the best they can blablabla .. When you work your *ss off & reward your self with an expected super

 phone that's worth 600$ & discover its a piece of **bleep** afterall ... dont post defensive replies about NOKIA being working

 day & night to fix Bugs & firmwares .. coz they better do that NONE STOP when they fool people with expensive toys

 that BARELY Works .. ALL WE CARE ABOUT IS making the BUCKS we Paid WORTHY !!

 Did we file a Lawsuit or asked for the Money back !! All we Ask gently is a FIX & a Release of the SUPER HULKY DARK KNIGHTISH 2.0 Firmware ... which BETTER BE that good !

 people are losing contacts , E-mails , Msgs , I Lost Calls IMPORTANT Business Calls while it just suddenly decides

 to FREEZE !! , losing special moments to capture on the stupid 5MB CAM ! , I can go on forever ... but I'm Just 

 so sick of complaining ...

  SICK !

Hello all,

Just have my Nokia N97 white and allready it won't start up. A day ago I downloaded some apps from Ovi and installed them and they worked fine. Today I installed anotherone and this one needed a restart so I restarted my N97 but when it started up it froze at the NOKIA logo and can't put it off.

Pfffffff ....... the Nokia care point finder on the Nokia site doesn't work eighter and after being 15 minutes on the phone waiting to be connected with the Belgium Nokia I gave up and hangup. Thank you Nokia!

I'm going to send it back ..... more costs and if lost it will not be replaced so it needs to be insurred to. Thank you Nokia! 

Thank you Nokia!Thank you Nokia!Thank you Nokia!Thank you Nokia!Thank you Nokia!Thank you Nokia!Thank you Nokia!Thank you Nokia!Thank you Nokia!Thank you Nokia!Thank you Nokia!Thank you Nokia!Thank you Nokia!Thank you Nokia!Thank you Nokia!Thank you Nokia!Thank you Nokia!

it is a disappointing handset, no doubt in my mind.

Glad you got the memory card issue sorted and that would also have been my suggestion - a full reformat - as I've had a similar problem with my N95 in the past.

Now I've upgraded to v20, I'm still having the same problems as on v12, so sadly it has not brought the magic  ' cure all' upgrade.Crying shame as it had soooo much potential, but it's crashed and burned in my eyes, I certainly would not recommend one to anyone.
