Hey guys, I was browsing the internet and these are what I found. Try it out as many people had reported the methods work.

1) Flash-flooded problem
- Get a marker, then draw some lines around the camera flash. (I can't post a picture right now as it's already 4 a.m and im so sleepy)

2) GPS antenna issues
- Take off the back cover, and on the left side of around your lens (where the antennas(or maybe just 1 antenna) are located, gently apply some pressure,
  then run the map program. Let me know if it works. It might be caused by the glue Nokia applied in between the sticker-like thing and the body, the antenna lies between them. The glue isn't strong 
  enough to get the antenna fixed in position and get in contact with the yellow metal thing as reported by some users.
NCC is required to fix these problems, do not attempt to do anything by yourself thus voiding your warranty..
also, the gps antenna is located at the bottom part of the battery compartment, not near the lens area

kinda same problem but different..everytime i disconnect my N97 from PC, a message will pop out "Unable to access selected memory, phone memory will be used". So when i go to inbox, the SMS will be gone. I have to go setting--->other---->memory in use--->mass memory. then i got my SMS back...lol
this will happen when you connect your phone in 'File Transfer Mode', best is to not use that mode. for now its sms for you, but if you have emails etc, it'll screw things up pretty quick wink.gif

sagaman, programs that come with the phone pre-installed (not to be confused with installed on first use) cannot be removed. task manager will not show it. e.g. pdf, quickoffice. to move a program from one folder to another is Options -> Edit, then click on the icon and move to folder <...>

when i checked on installed application folder, I found that both nokia maps(9MB) and Ovi Maps(7MB) are installed. Can I delete the nokia maps ? does it affect Ovi Maps? at least i can save up some space on my phone memory, only got 25MB left n beginning to feel frequent lagging on my phone  sad.gif  sad.gif  sad.gif

no...if you are on v20 (which you're supposed to be since you can install ovi maps) the nokia maps is provided in the rom itself, if you uninstall either of it, IIRC, it will uninstall 3.3 and back to 3.1 (again IIRC about the versions)

does anyone know if there's any official communication on the gps antenna fix for the n97? i'm constantly getting low reception and accuracy is on average 50++ metres


Added on January 29, 2010, 3:10 pmmannquinn i think you can get the camera replaced at ncc, right? it should be, as its a design flaw and since almost every other country does the change for free, i dont see how nokia msia is any different (but then, m'sia boleh). i called ncc earlier today and asked about gps antenna fix, as usual they dont know anything. called up nokia care malaysia and they are also ignorant about it. seriously a wtf moment there when the rest of the world is doing it, and here they're not even in the know of what's going on.
