How do you adjust the power saver settings on the Nokia 2730 - I can't find where it is??

This phone's screen goes blank after 25 secs ... even if the screensaver is on??

[jackthelad]

Hi there, I have exactly the same problem with mine, along with a few others. Rest assured you are not alone. I have been waiting for Nokia to respond to this problem for 3 - 4 weeks!!! It is extremely irritating not knowing whether the phone is on or not without having to keep pressing a key to find out. The screensaver option is available so it should work.

Also annoying is that if you have a missed call the phone does not alert you in any way whatsoever. A flashing light would be an idea. Are you listening, Nokia??????

My thoughts are that this power saving idea of Nokia's which is also a problem on other models e.g. 6700 (See discussions on that model) is so that they can boast a long battery stand-by time, but like you I would rather have a screensaver.

Thanks for that Jack ... It's very disappointing & frustrating & confusing ... why have a screensaver if it's only on for 25 sec's??? My old nokia would sit there quite happily showing the power saver clock all day ... why fix the wheel when it wasn't broke Mr Nokia????

Hi all,

today I also got my new Nokia 2730 and the first thing I was also wondering was how to switch off this stand by/power saving mode. 

This topic is now about 6 weeks old and no answer from a Nokia support colleague?!?!?

This is a very annoying "feature"... could someone from Nokia please comment on that?

Thanks & best regards!

Like you guys, I too have a 2730 purchased only one week ago on which the screensaver fails to work. As the function is available via the menu system, surely there must be a fault/bug in the firmware that actually enables the screensaver when set. I don't wear a watch and it's so annoying having to 'wake the phone up' every time to see what the time is.

Has anyone managed to get the screensaver operational on this model yet at all? I am wondering if the phone needs a hard reset (as some of the older models did when things didn't quite work properly) but I don't know how to do a reset on one of these - yet!

Surely someone at Nokia reads these forums and could at least acknowledge that there seems to be a problem with this function - is it just a question of a firmware update or whatever? At least let us all have a comment, pleeeeaase!!!

The 2730 cannot be hard reset. Its an s40 basic phone and thus cannot be hard reset. As for the "blinking lights", I have an s40 phone with such (5610), but the settings is that it either blinks all the time or it does not.

To turn off sleep mode, go to Menu>Settings>Display>Sleep Mode. Turn it off. The Power Saver Mode is right next to it.  One warning though, this may hamper battery life to a large extent.

Hello there

I have tried to turn off the Sleep mode as you suggest but there is no option within "Display" to do this on my phone. There are numerous other options to choose however.

As I said in previous thread the only option is to select  "Time out"  but the maximum that can be selected is 25 seconds,anything longer does not work. The "screensaver" will  work when the display goes off but as i said only for 25 seconds then the screen goes blank.

What is the point in having a screensaver which stays on for only 25 seconds?

Why can't Nokia do what they have done on previous models e.g. 6021 where a dimmed digital clock is displayed in stand-by mode. 

[chanchan05]

I should say that I dont have exactly the same phone, but my s40 phone (5610), once the screen saver goes out I have a dimmed digital clock on screen. A lot of s40 phones I know have that feature. Hmm, maybe you should try updating the firmware?

Unfortunately, there is no software currently available for the Nokia 2730

[mukesh_shrestha]

hi there! is there any software for call blocking and BEEP FREE call recording available for Nokia 2730 Classic? suggest me (the website from which free download is available) plz!

Thank you!

I've just updated my 2730C to the latest version 09.41 and I realized that there is no more screensaver option.

Where did you got from that update???? There is no update for 2730 classic on Nokia site!!

[chanchan05]

The updates arent downloadable from any website. You use Ovi Suite or Pc Suite

Exactly what happened when i upgraded my phone.

But when i bought it, the screen saver was and still is in the specifications

I think that nokia might consider our rights and fix this nasty problem

We have two Nokia 2730 phones in our household.  

One on V 09.41 (02-12-09)  and the other on V 07.70 (18-09-09)

The screen saver is completely missing from the menu on V9.41!  It can't be activated!

Has this functionality been removed?

My son is very peeved that there is no screensaver on his phone and yet his brother's one is working fine!

[chantheman]

I have the same problem: not being alerted when you miss a call or a message. Very annoying.

[diluen]

V10.4 is out. Still no screensaver option. I don;t know what this update fixes...

[bundy1212]

has the sleep mode been addressed with the latest firmware ?

I mean theres no point in upgrading if it also breaks the screensaver (from reading other posts)

[manohar1985]

i recently bought nokia 2730 classic. the software version is 10.40. this does not have a screen saver option at all. and moreover the clock display is big and towards left side below the network icon on the home screen, there is no option to change the clock display. does anybody have same problem? pls bring to notice of nokia people.
