This is the first time I see such problems for Nokia N series. My assumption is most, if not all, of these phones are AP units. The phone might already have problem in Europe (for example), and the dealer there instead of submit warranty claim, may just ship it out to dealers in Malaysia as AP.

If it is original purchased in Malaysia, I don't see any reason Nokia authorised dealer not to repair/replace it. My friend have replaced a 6230i LCD for free at Nokia Bangsar (Zitron?) after using nearly 1 year.

Do we have a poll how many of AP or Original units have these kind of LCD or ribbon problem ? and the difficulty in getting it repair/replace/warranty claim ?

That's right.

My previous posting on barcode: UPC, UCC/EAN, Code-39, Code-128, etc.
Barcode Types

Nokia only supports QR Code and DataMatrix, but I have not tried DataMatrix so far.

How to check FP1 or FP2 ?

christopher_mhm,

Already PM you.

Quickoffice and apps lah.

What is the 1D 3rd party barcode scanner app you use ? I can try R&D for you and comment on it.

@seraph8660,

*ahem* LYN policy no piracy talk Better edit your post.

Added on July 3, 2008, 3:57 pmAlready PM you. I don't have the latest set instruction, you might need to figure out some of it using common sense.

It is there, read the instructions CAREFULLY

Although all apps are closed or reboot, there are some other 3rd party apps/processes still running in the background.

You can imagine in WinXP, you press Ctrl+Alt+Del -> Task Manager.
There are no task under Applications tab. However, if you click on Processes tabs, you will see >50 processes. If you install some 3rd party apps in N82 which resides on memory card instead of phone memory and it runs in the background, forever you will not be able to connect using USB Transfer, unless you kill it manually (e.g. Y-Browser tools).

Hybz,
PM you already.

When 8GB comes out, it costs around rm180, then drop to rm165 in Apr'08 PC Fair. Now LYP one big shop selling at RM135 already.

Estimate 16GB come out will be RM280-320.

Really ? Then 16GB will definitely below RM300 already. Maybe even RM250 !

8GB Sandisk micro-SD. Really RM110. Printing error ?

Plug into PC, enable view hidden & system files in windows explorer options. Copy and paste everything. It works. No need new serial file or whatever.

I have both Windows Live and Fring installed. No problem. Please note Windows Live takes longer time to login/connect to server.

Added on July 7, 2008, 1:24 pmFor those who are upgrading/copying to another new micro-SD card, below are some guidelines:
1) Take out existing µSD.
2) Plug in new µSD into N82 and format it. Ignore all apps errors at this moment.
3) Plug both µSD into PC and copy all files (including hidden & system files)
4) If you don't have two card readers, copy with care, don't open the folder/files in PC HDD, as it might create some unnecessary files like thumbs.db. Overwrite whatever in the formatted new card.
5) Plug the new µSD into N82, and all the apps should work as before.

I did mine from 2GB->8GB upgrade previously. No problem. Also did another copy from 2GB->2GB, no problem too.

1) Are you using Nokia or Garmin ? Ensure integrated GPS is enabled, and the rest are disabled.
2) Ensure you are in open field/area, not inside building, or under tree or between tall buildings.
Tell us more details about your application, environment and setting.

Hybz,

Yes, disable A-GPS, as you will be charged GPRS data rate, unless you have unlimited data plan.
Menu->Tools->Connectivity->GPS data->Options->Positioning Settings->
Only enable "Integrated GPS". Disable the rest.

Just to verify, in GMXT->Settings->System->Remote GPS->"Intergrated GPS" enabled ?

Unlikely GPS device spoil. In fact, I notice using Nokia Maps can lock onto satellites faster than GMXT, with Integrated GPS option enable only. Therefore, if your Nokia Maps is still there and working, try it. You can launch both Nokia Maps and GMXT together. If Nokia Maps lock it, GMXT will lock it also. Sometimes I notice GMXT will not search or lock any satellites, if it fails to lock within 5-10 min.

Also, since you are inside building, there is a 50-50 chance of not getting enough satellite lock. Exit the app, go outside (lunch?) and launch the app again.

Also remember to reboot (switch off/on) N82 once a week/two weeks. It is stable but not that stable.

Menu->Tools->Settings->General->Positioning->Positioning server->Server Address->
Same default "supl.nokia.com"

Hybz,

Yes, default are 4 options. But I only enable Integrated. The rest are disabled. The less you use:
a) less accurate
b) take longer time to lock and response
c) 100% confirm no external/data usage (save $)
d) in case you accidentally go overseas, you might be charged roaming data rate. But there is a setting to disable data on roaming.

You can try enable all and check the performance. It is better, at a price.

Please note N82 GPS is not a dedicated GPS device. I have encounter switch on at KLCC and drive towards Imbi (Jln Ampang, Jln Tun Razak, Kg Pandan roundabout, Jln Imbi). 15 min reached Imbi, satelllite still not yet lock Lucky I know the place, else have to stop at roadside.

When you are stationary, it is not accurate (+/- 30m) hence the app will predict your direction based on its calculation rules. Hence, it seems you are rotating in a place.

Mine in moving car, open air, clear sky... normally can get lock in 1-2 minute with Integrated only.

Of course, have to use brain, eyes and common sense also. GMXT + Malsingmap in Ipoh, show me goto Holland earlier this year. I remember I was coming down Jln Aitken toward Jln Raja Dihilir and wanted to goto Ipoh town centre. At that junction, it ask me to turn right. Illegal to turn right (even the road divider don't allow it) What it should tell me is turn left, go down Jln Raja Dihilir towards interchange (Jln Tasek/Sultan Azlan Shah + Jln Raja Dihilir) and make a U-turn towards city centre.

N82 GPS accuracy is +/- 30m. Unless it is assisted, by GPRS or network, etc. it can go up to +/- 7-10m consistently. For 3m accuracy consistently, will need external dedicated BT GPS device.

Yes, go ahead and try drive long distance and several hours with A-GPS on. Let me know how much the data-rate for that month. I'm curious also how much it will be, currently I'm on unlimited, hence cannot verify.

Of course, at critical time, when searching for a place/location urgently, the few cents are worth it.

Cannot la. Setup free WiFi AP along the way...

That is great, if anyone can try and confirm it.

Off topic => Please use Firefox I only use IE7 when no choice, have to support some ActiveX or something. Or choose other web-browser like Opera, etc.

I'm sure you have AV and ensure daily update with latest patch v-definition.
