Hi everyone,

I've just sent my Nokia N97 back to the shop for a firmware flash because I was having a few battery issues with my phone. The battery sort of shorted itself out from 4 bars to 1 bar the other day and it turned off my phone. The battery life is pretty bad nowadays and I have to charge it everyday or risk it running out of battery on the next day. Also, my contacts which I mark as "favourite" no longer appear as names in my SMS'es when I receive. I see their number, +60123456789 instead.

He claims that this is because I installed Garmin unofficially through the instructions provided here on LYN.(I went one step further and installed the 5.00.50 version) Is this possible?

Not too sure about the battery problem if you're not on Dual mode which drains the battery faster compared to GSM mode but I believe the reason only numbers are being shown in your Inbox is due to duplicated contacts which you probably have the same person in both your Sim card and phone memory.

The claim about Garmin is BS. Some people just have to put the blame on something else so they get to avoid their responsibility for the products sold.

im using garmin 5.00.50 version, but im not facing any problem u mentioned..

ok, i got click the "remove drive" thingy b4 i unplug, but din notice the LED charging part... will try it and see how, thanks bro...

Anyone knows where I can get a 16GB Micro-SD?

I finally finished using the 32GB onboard storage

LowYat Plaza. 2nd floor.

Not sure advisable to name it or not.

Try reset everything back to factory setting or download the Nokia Energy Profiler to see what consuming your battery that bad. Google yourself to find out the problem. I suspect there's Widget consuming them. Reset phone might solve some or all of your problem above.

You're welcome. I hate that messaging part too.

Wow? You putting all pr0n inside?

where can i download the guitar player? adter format the phone, the game gone already...

wifi and 3g data consuming battery alot le..

i delete all my celcom services settings, and then the phone last alot longer!

i remove my online widgets, but still cannot figure out why the n97 will search for internet connections

on the main screen option-> set content to offline mode ->ok

yeah the same happened to me, but i lost 2 games...i sent to NCC to fix the firmware issue the other day and the phone came back with the guitar hero installer again if you want PM me, i think i might be able to send it to you

hey, is the format supported by ovi suite? What converter are you using? It only works if the format is avi and most of my files are rmvb. I have tried to convert to mp4 from rmvb but it can't be opened using the phone. sighh

Simple.

First, download "Any Video Converter".

Convert your files to the preset "MPEG-4 Mobile Phone" format. Note: for Blu-Ray movies, you have to convert the video files one by one (usually 8 of them for one movie).

After the conversion, download "Free Video Joiner".

Import all your converted MPEG-4 videos into Free Video Joiner and just click on the JOIN button.

Ta-dah!
