Problem Solutions Nokia n73

(1) FINDING PUK CODE
MY PHONE HAS BEEN LOCKED LOOKING PUK CODE ORANGE WONT GIVE ME CODE AS THE PHONE HAS BEEN UP GRADED
SOLUTION
* Pin Unlock Code (PUK) If you miss key (or forget) your SIM pin code, and enter the wrong one 3-5 times in a row, the SIM will lock up, and you’ll need to enter the PUK unlock code to release it. You should ask your Network Service Provider for this code when you need it. Don’t try to guess it, because after a few wrong guesses, the SIM card will be permanently disabled. The next solution is a repair shop. The phone will have to be connected directly to a PC, using a software device 'Box'

(3) My N73 Hangs-up After Connecting to My PC
My N73 hangs-up after i transfer my video files to my PC. I guess my N73 unit is infected by a virus. I found out that after I scan my computer units there were viruses found.I want to format my N73 unit but dont know what is the Operating System to be used for N73.
SOLUTION
* ust press this code *#7370# and your phone will be formatted
* that code *#7370# is indeed great amy but i guess one even better solution is to have your unit's software upgraded. we have the same unit model. mine is an n73 music edition original. i havent upgraded my unit yet

(4) Nokia n73 Memory full
according to memory details, i have 657 MB left in my memory card, yet prompts come up that say "memory full , delete some data" or another prompt that says i cannot receive incoming messages and must delete data , there is also a flashing envelope icon. ive turned the phone on and off, as per advice of some people, yet it is still the same. I cant even do simple functions, i keep getting prompted to delete data, which i have done, removing 400 pictures, freeing up so much memory space, yet still i cannot receive incoming messages because of "memory full" SO FRUSTRATING, HELP PLEASE!!!
SOLUTION
* I think the problem is that the SMS memory is diffrent from the memory card.In order to fix your problem try and delete some of the msgs (SMS) that you have in the inbox, usually this will free up the memory you need
* Try to change your default memory to Memory Card in Phone seeting then delete some messages from inbox. Aftr changing the Default Memory the phone will stores newly installed Apps, messages in Memory Card

SOLUTION
* you need to format your phone. try the soft format of *#7370# , if this doesnt work then do a hard format by folowing these steps1. Make sure you have at least 3/4 charge of battery power left. 2. Backup your contacts list and personal files to MMC memory card. 3. Switch-off your phone. 4. Press and hold these 3 keys; Green dial key, * (star key) and no. 3 key and then press the power on/off to switch on the phone. Do not let go all of the keys, hold until you see a formatting word screen show! 5. After a few minutes when the full phone formatting completed, your phone will be back to original system and factory setttings. All applications installed will be lost unless you've made a backup on your mmc. You can restore the backup to the C drive again.You should also try to save all your data on the mmc, that includes pics, mp3, videos ,games. avoid saving data on phone memory unless you have no memory card (mmc)Formating phone will delete all your files in the phone memory so you should back up all your data before doig a full format

(8) Nokia N73 software update problem
After a long wait I finally purchased my unlocked Nokia N73 while on a trip to the Middle-East. I decided to enhance my perfectly working phone with an update from the Nokia web site. I installed the newest firmware on my PC, started the download process until I moved the usb cable and the phone powered off and would not power back on. I was told the firmware update did not complete and someone needs to reinstall software. Nokiausa won't help since the phone was not purchased here in the USA,and I cannot find anyone that could help me!!
SOLUTION
* When updating software on Mobs, be sure to:HAVE A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY INSERTED;PUT IT ON GENERAL PROFILE;TURN OFF YOUR PIN NUMBER;CONNECT YOUR CHARGER TO YOUR MOB AND SWITCH IT ON;DO NOT-----DO NOT---- TOUCH YOUR PHONE WHILE THE UPDATE IS GOING ON;THIS CAN TAKE 30 MINUTES OR MORE.And obviously don't unplug the phone from the PC.Be patient, you may have to do a restart or two on your mob afterwards. Even remove the battery to get it going again. But give it plenty of time.I did an update on a Sony Eric 810i it took nearly two hours.

(9) Speaker prob n73
my ringtones sound like a battery running out when i get a call but can play them ok in music player
SOLUTION
* u have to switch off the 3D sounds...u can find it in somewhere in your menu..the 3D sounds effect in almost all the N73s have the same symptoms as described by you.

(10) N73 software update - phone not working
during software update N73, the phone does not switch on. what can i do

Even remove the battery to get it going again. But give it plenty of time.It is also wise not to use your PC while updating software, just in case the PC freezes.If the PC freezes during an update, you're up the creek without a paddle...I did an update on a Sony Eric 810i it took nearly two hours.----------------------------------------------------------------------------More... Your phone turns itself on and off, sometimes more than once while updating software, you should leave it well alone during the update.

(11) All my files missing from my gallery
Sorry to bother you, but I really need some help regarding my phone. I have N73 ME, and all the files (ie images, videos & tracks) are all missing from my phone gallery..this happens a few days ago. At first only the images & videos, but the next day all my tracks are missing too!I know they're all still in my phone 'cos i check using file manager, and they're still there. Just not in my gallery.I have scanned the phone a couple of times (once using the phone's antivirus & another from my pc as a mas storage device), and both times no virus detected.So, if possible can you explain why this happens? And how to get the files back?Thanks in advance
SOLUTION
I am guessing that all your data is stored on your memory card. If this is the case, try removing and reinserting your memory card.

(13) Security code N 73
Sir please tell me the security code of N 73
SOLUTION
* SIM pin code: This is a pin code that locks the sim card until you enter the correct code. This protects your account, even if your sim is put into another handset. To reset it, you need the PUK code: Pin Unlock Code (PUK) If you miss key (or forget) your SIM pin code, and enter the wrong one 3-5 times in a row, the SIM will lock up, and you’ll need to enter the PUK unlock code to release it. You should ask your Network Service Provider for this code when you need it. Don’t try to guess it, because after a few wrong guesses, the SIM card will be permanently disabled. Phone Security Code:This locks the handset, as opposed to the sim card. You can also set some handsets to only accept a “new” sim if the phone security code is entered. To reset it, you need the Master code code:Master Reset Code Sometimes known as the Master Code, this allows you to unlock a handset if you have entered the Security Code wrongly too many times. Which is the one that you want? Special Code/Service Provider Lock Code: This code is required to allow a phone locked to a particular network's SIM cards to be used with a SIM card from another network. Orange and T-mobile lock handsets in this way, though O2 and Vodafone are beginning to lock PAYG and WAP handsets. The unlock code varies from individual handset to handset. Blacklisting: This is not a security code, but it works like one! To help combat mobile phone thefts, the networks share a database of the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) of mobile phones that have been reported stolen. Once a phone is on this list, it will not be allowed to use any of the networks. This can be a risk if you buy a second-hand phone, because if it has been stolen, or if an unscrupulous seller makes an insurance claim after selling, the phone you bought in good faith may be permanently disabled. Be very careful to check the source of a second-hand phone! -----------------------------The default security code for Nokia is 12345 IMEI: 356406017443168 Master code: 5335036136Take your SIM card out first. This is the code needed to reset the Security code, nothing else, and it’s for your phone only. You type in the security codes (anything) until the phone request the Master code; when it does, leave your phone still, don’t use it for 15 minutes, then type in the Master code.

(14) Hardware Failure: restart camera
Hi Guys, when I slide the cover off the main camara, after a short delay I get the above message. I've tried restoring the original phone settings but it hasn't made any difference. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Many thanks
SOLUTION
* i have encountered this problem and I went to the Nokia Care near me... They have reflashed the firmware and the girl who fixed it showed me the camera works. Then I was off, but after a few steps I tried the camera and the "hardware failure: restart camera" message popped up again. What she did is to remove the memory card and tried the camera and what do you know? the camera worked! So I reformatted my memory card and everything is well in the world again.
* there is problem inside ur phone. better solution u should take it technician, if ur phone is under warrenty then take it to nearest nokia care. ur phone need to be repaired.
* Its the camera slide, not the phone. I have one with the same problem. Simply stick a bit of blue tack on the battery by the contacts for the camera, place the cover back on, and the problem goes away. Its dodgy contacts, thats all.

i am in problem please help me.i have nokia N73 which was initially used in Japan by other. but now when i am trying to use the new sim card here in Nepal, the message "sim card not valid" appears on the screen.
SOLUTION
* To enter the code to the phone (switch on without SIM card).Input the Code in the phone as follows: #pw+??????????????+1##pw+??????????????+2##pw+??????????????+3##pw+??????????????+4##pw+??????????????+5##pw+??????????????+6##pw+??????????????+7#Here: ?????????????? You should enter generated code.First code in the end of the string must be added + 1#Code number 7 in the end of the string must be added + 7#If you have proper software and You know on which lock, phoneis closed just simply enter proper CODE.If YOU DONT KNOW - which lock is closed do the following: 1. Enter the first code, if it’s the wrong code - WAIT 30 seconds!!! And then: 2. Enter the code number seven this will open all locks.How to get 'p' 'w' '+' signs?Press * several times on keyboard of phone...There's no guarantee that any code will work, because I couldn't find a Japanese pre-set network code '44020000' for Vodafone required for calculating the code. One of these might work: IMEI: 351851017293607 Your code's are:#pw+947422376576223+1##pw+198444027616245+2##pw+024523552267724+3##pw+427917252521212+4##pw+992932523001337+5##pw+724960454241361+6##pw+323156750133451+7#!!Warning!!If the codes don’t work after entering 5 codes You will lock the ‘CODE UNLOCK FUNCTION’ and it will be possible to unlock the phone only by using a cable/device.
