I think there's a design flaw .... the plug for handsfree should be at the bottom don't you alll think so ?

i prefer it on the top. not on the side can already. like the 5800 also on the top what

Wow~! Looks like it's more complicated than I thought...

Actually, what is your main problem?
Can you surf the Internet using that connection?
Or you just want to disconnect it?

I think you should know already, but just in case...
You said you cannot disconnect by touching on the
top-right screen icon, but you can disconnect the
connection at:
Menu → Settings → Connectivity → Connection Mgr.
You can try it here...



To me, I prefer it this way...
If the ear-phone hole located at the bottom,
then I will have problem place the phone in
my pocket...

My main problem is, i couldn't connect to the internet, trying to reconnect my connection, but can't disconnect it.
I already tried in Connection Manager, as shown in the 1st attachment.
This happens since i hard reset my phone, I couldn't connect to the net. Even using 3G connection

I've just hard reset my phone.. now it's running smoothly.. hope it will keep that way

Opps! Sorry, my bad... not looking at your 1st attachment properly...

You make me also curious and want to find out what cause this...
I will try to find out what happen to your phone...
Please also do update us once you find the solution ok?

Sure. I have been doing it for the whole day, looking for solutions here and there. Yet I couldn't find it. This phone really drives my crazy

I realized i cannot receive MMS.
Wondering is my phone setting? In my old phone i can receive. I check the setting for message is correct also.
Then i also notice i cannot use 3G/GRPS to online also.

its better to put on top, cos u put the phone in pocket is upright.
if cable at the bottom, the cable have to bend and go up again.

Request config from ur service provider

So the hard reset solved your problem?
Maybe your last reset only done partially...
But thanks for the information~!


Do you have access point settings of your operator?

I'm using Maxis, when I go to Maxis website and request for phone setting, I got a message saying N97 is not supported yet~
Give me an option to setup manually~

Then, I go to phone's Setting Wizard, that create all the necessary access point automatically~

MAY I KNOW HOW TO KNOW if the n97 is fake or ori.
Check where?
and how to test to see if got problem
Need help fast!!
And how to check with nokia center the serial number.
What is nokia's number?

cause I am wondering the stylus is on the bottom part even I put into the pouch(ori) the phone jack facing inwards so cannot plug in

PROBLEM SOLVED! How?
Take an eraser, remove SIM card from phone, erase the dirty thing on SIM card, insert it back, DONE!
I spent 2 Days figuring out what is the problem with my phone, and finally I found out, it is just a stupid problem caused by SIM card.

I think check the local distributors' hologram sticker that hide beneath the battery?



You are right too~ sometimes I do feel the stylus quite annoying while putting the phone in my pocket.
Sometimes think of take out the stylus, I seldom use the style anyway...

The original pouch? I don't know why Nokia give this to us, I also don't know how to use it, it's too tight!
Pouch too tight + unlock sliding-button at the side of the phone = trouble~!

I have a cheap RM10 (imitated) black velvet phone pouch with zipper, I like it more than the N97 original pouch.
It even have small pockets inside that we can put business card...


Congratulations~!!!
Thanks for sharing this with us...
Can't imagine how you could think of SIM card... haha...

hey im a new proud owner of Nokia N97 white color..pls add me in the white team...anyway is there any protection for the steel on the Nokia N97 cause im scared it might get scratched ..tq

I think you can get more information from this post onwards:
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1096172/+260 (the bottommost post)
Unfortunately, this is not what I like...
If I protect the chromed part this way, then I will lost the joy of having a chromed trimming...
If you really like to protect that part, why not "full-time" using a soft pouch?

Hi all , first, great work for setting up this thread, which is so useful for my N97. But, i gt some questions about the garmin...

I installed the garmin mobile and when i finish everything (including update to the latest v.5.00.50), and i click on view map, i only saw what "europe" thing. Am i using the correct map? Btw, after i click the link for the MSM on page 1, which map should i download? Is it the "Official Garmin compiled Malsingmaps Malaysia / Singapore / Brunei NT 2009.5 (FREE)" ? If yes, what i need to do is just download the "gmapprom1.unl file " and "gmapprom1_2009.5.zip file" and paste them into my "Garmin" folder in my memory card?

Thanks first for all the info provided...

you have to install it on you pc first , then copy the gmapsupp.img <sumsort like that , to the garmin folder in your mass storage.. than wallaa.. you get your map

p.s : refer to our frontpage for further information on how to install garmin and maps..

If you insist on MSM, sorry I don't have experience in setting this up.
But if you want to use MFM, below information is for your reference.

First you go to: http://malfreemaps.com/viewforum.php?f=23
then find the thread: Free Malaysia & Singapore GPS Map: MFM v1.74 (07/09/2009) currently the latest, download it (37.4MB) to your computer.


While you are downloading and feel boring, visit this site and follow the guides to setup your map: http://malfreemaps.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=662


Basically, what need to do with the downloaded file is:
* Double-click and it will extract all the map data to your computer hard disk (Default is C:\Garmin\Malfreemaps)
* It then ask "Do you wish to create a gmapsupp.img?" (this is the file you will need to put into your phone's Garmin folder, so click [ Yes ])
* Regarding which option to choose while creating your map, the page above explain everything quite detailed, so read and look at the images there
* After it finish compiled the gmapsupp.img on your computer's hard disk (default is C:\Garmin\Malfreemaps), you need to copy this file (5xMB-6xMB depends on features you choose) to your phone's Garmin folder.


That's all, when you launch Garmin, you will see the perfect map...


Note: When MFMv174.exe finished extracting the data and about to start the map creation step, my Anti Virus blocked the action due to it's behavior (try to trigger launch another file?).
So, temporary disable your Anti Virus before launching MFMv174.exe.


Good night everybody and have a nice weekend~!
