Of course E71 is 3.2 MP non auto focus.

When N79 is 5MP with auto focus

now my gps hangs occasionally...
while driving around, the gps signal can suddenly disconnected and cannot recover back...even in good weather and empty sky and no tall buildings around...

any1 here faces the same problem with me? everytime it happens, i need to restart my phone...and now it is getting worse...need to restart few times only can get back gps signal...

is it because i put my phone at the windscreen, hot until gila liao? my phone havent 1 year also...sad

well yes..

but if refer to E72..[i thought neo sharky refer to E72]
it also 5mp with autofocus


@ smokey ..

maybe firmware update could help...

yours not even 1 year right..? claim your warranty..

IMO , hot is not a problem , our phone has been tested with the temperature too..[but of course not too hot]

^already using latest firmware

lazy to backup phone...everytime go service sure ask to reformat 1...haha

so.. your problem still not solved..?


anyway.. what gps apps that you use ??

Ovi Maps ..? / google maps [LOL] ?? / Sygic ..? / TomTom Navi ..? / Route 66 ..?? / Ndrive. .?? / GarminXT ..??

the free is Ovi Maps and google maps...
others need to buy.

U sure E71's camera no auto focus?

I used to teach a E71 owner how to use the auto focus, that owner never realized his E71 got auto focus and told me he missed his w810's auto focus feature.

IIRC.. E71 has autofocus

I still maintain the original version that came with the phone more than a year back. If nothing broken, it aint need to be fixed

As kae7 mentioned, I dont think its the heat from windscreen. But I suspect its your battery. The next time you run your GPS, try plugging in your cell on power (12v car outlet) and check if it still hangs?

hi there, i really hope somebody could help me. lately, my phone lags a lot, i really mean it, a lot like hell. and i've done reformatting few times. plus, if wanna say cause memory too much, not really. i hardly used the memory card. so how, why??? seriously, n79 didnt give me a lot of good memories since the past one year. well its not even one year yet.

Hi there,

Just bought a n79

By the way, the software is 11.049

I typed *#0000# --> and check for update --> but it reply no update available.

help..

Can you pin-point when it lags? Like, what were you doing, apps open, etc?

Whats the memory card installed, and its class?

any pc suite for mac???

thanks.

You bought AP phone?
Check what is your phone product code (eg. use JAF) and what RM version under *#0000#

Software Version - 11.049
Custom Version - 11.049.53.1
Type - RM-348

What product code?
If yours is original from authorized nokia dealer, the product code is the same, which can be found in the phone body under the battery, something like 0577234.

If yours is AP set, sometime the seller change the product code in order to get chinese/malay firmware. The phone itself might be coming from europe. So you'll need something like JAF to read the product code of your firmware. You can change to other product code in order to obtain the latest firmware since yours is restricted to older 11.049. The latest I'm using now is 32.001.

mine is 0568152

got sticker under LHMS warranty with something like sirim (kelas cma 1998 CM)

i doubt it's ap right? but i just can't update cos of the code.

i've tried 0123, 1234, 12345 oso can't

Your N79 is white, right?
0568152 seems like APAC (Emerging Asia) version, I think don't have chinese language...

If you really want to upgrade newer firmware with chinese version, you need to use JAF to change code to 0568144, which is Malaysia white N79, and then use Nokia Software Updater to update it.

But there's risk of doing this. I had change mine coz it's Taiwan firmware which is traditional chinese. But after updated when my phone restart, it hangs! I tot it was dead, luckily after unplug and reinsert back the battery the phone working fine till today, with APAC Malaysia firmware.

how to do this bro..

i google'd this JAF, it seems quite complicated.

can guide me how to do it??

You read chinese? If you can read chinese I can PM you a link, the guide is in Chinese.
You sure you want to take the risk flashing the phone? If not you can send to handphone shop ask them do for you, they charge RM30-50, according to my friend.
