i m facing a problem on my n8. I noticed that the display color isnt that same like before. The 720p videos while i watch is ok no differrnce same like before. But when i watch some low resolution videos like 360*640p videos the color and contrast does not appear that much clear and vivid like when i bought new. Do anybody hav any idea? Evrythings is ok in the handset but i m just little disapointed by the display colour.

SUMON, 30 Oct 2012NOKIA N8 its a good cell phon but i face only camra prpblem... moreYou dont need to open the battery when the phone hangs just press and hold the on/off button for more than 10 seconds and the phone will vibrate 3 times quickly and it will switch off. Sometimes it swithches off earlier to the 3 vibrations but dont release the power button before it vibrates. Try this, it has worked for me several times when a game hangs. I have Symbian Anna and it should work for Belle too....

Maybe something just burned inside, maybe it is the antenna, maybe it is an isolated case, allot of "maybes" but no answers, i know! Just take and see if they can tell you at least what is the problem. They have to know that. Maybe yours was just defective and the problem was just a time matter to pop-up!

Carol, 29 Oct 2012There is always a chip for everything in nokia or any other... moreFrom all the reflashes and downgrades I did(11.5, Anna, Belle, Refresh), everything was working perfect as it should and as before EXCEPT the wifi/wlan prob. It persists still. Despite all your huge help, I have no idea if it's hardware-related or a software one. I kinda doubt it was caused by a virus coz I think once you've flashed, everything is wiped out. And I used CFWs and original firmwares from Navifirm, too. Everything works great after each successful flash except wifi. Now I'm stuck not knowing if it's a hardware or software prob. I think the phone technicians I plan on going to would not know, either. Nokia would only say I should go to Nokia Care and have my software re-installed. I think I've done that with all the countless flashing I did.
The thing that bothers me now most is that if it would happen again if I get a new N8 or an 808. I will have no idea how to fix it if it happens again on a new one. I've read lotsa restarting problems with the N8 but this one's a bit isolated as it only affects the wifi and it's the only cause that my N8 would restart all the time. Also, I really hope I can solve this so I can help others with their N8 if this ever happens to them, too. You've been a big help, Carol and thanks again.

VIC, 29 Oct 2012Now I'm more confused. I just wanna know how this happened ... moreThere is always a chip for everything in nokia or any other gadget. You cannot replace them! Let's say you can replace the chip responsible for wlan and other connections... but even if you can do that is more easier to buy a new mother board then to replace it. i don't know what happened with your phone and why, i have no answer to that. All i can say is that you are not alone. Most of them have similar problems after belle update. So, as i told you earlier i doubt now that is a chip problem. You can go to this mobile technicians, see what they have to say. you can also go to the store you bought it from, if it's still in warranty. You can also contact nokia and see if they have an answer. Or you can try a new re-flash with new files downloaded from nokia server. Maybe you have connections problems and the updates are not working as they should... and the firmwares you've downloaded are buggy. Try to do a re-flash on a good connection pc, also a very stable pc, without viruses or any other system problems. i am sorry i cannot help you more then this:(. Did your phone had any problems soon after update? Did you had connection error after update?

Carol, 29 Oct 2012Yes i was talking about the chip, not the antenna. But afte... moreNow I'm more confused. I just wanna know how this happened and how to fix this so I'll know what to do if I get another N8, an 808 Pureview or any other Nokia device as I use my phone a lot as a wifi hotspot. And to answer your query, the phone restarts all the time whenever it starts searching for a wifi. I'd turn on wifi and starts searching and a few seconds later, the phone restarts. One more thing, as I use an app that relies on wifi, phone would restart also.
To make it simpler, is there one chip inside the N8 that is only for the wifi that can be replaced? And if there is, how did it got fried? I really wanna know coz it might happen again if I get another Nokia. My N8 was so good at being a wifi hotspot so I intend to get another one but after this happened, I'm a bit skeptical now of getting another N8. More so, an 808 Pureview.
And I'm light years away from a Nokia Care from where I live so going to other mobile technicians is one of my options now.
Thanks again for your reply, C.

VIC, 29 Oct 2012Thanks for the reply, Carol. And yes, I've tried almost all... moreYes i was talking about the chip, not the antenna. But after some researching and looking at the motherboard i don't think is the chip either. Most probably the n8 uses a multifunctional one. So if Bluetooth and fm transmitter, also gps are working ok, then the chip problem answer is reduced to 2% true! Right now i cannot help you anymore, i'm sorry. You should take it to nokia care. Or you can still try another firmware flashing. Hard format the damn thing and the mass memory (download new original firmware files with navifirm) and flash again with phoenix. maybe you are lucky this time. Ah, yes, i wanted to ask you. It is restarting when you just turn on the wifi or after you are trying to connect to your rooter? Maybe the connection is the blame. I don't know what to say anymore:)).

Carol, 29 Oct 2012You said that you did every re-flashing method you know. Th... moreThanks for the reply, Carol. And yes, I've tried almost all reflashes and downgrades. 11.5, Anna, ofw Belle, etc. Everything still works except for the Wifi. And the WLAN adapter you mentioned, are you referring to the Combo Antenna that the wifi and gps rely to? If not, is the WLAN adapter like a chip that's connected to the motherboard? I didn't dropped my N8 before the Wifi stopped working and whenever I try to use it or turn it on, my N8 restarts. I wanna know how this happened and how to fix this coz I rely on my N8 as wifi hotspot for my laptop. Is my N8 bricked for good? Or this wlan adapter still can be fixed?

VIC, 27 Oct 2012Had my N8 for quite a while now and now I just encountered ... moreYou said that you did every re-flashing method you know. That means that you've formatted the phone by 3 buttons method, formatted the mass memory and then flashing with phoenix right? Ok, did your phone meet the floor before your WiFi stopped working? Cause this issue can be because of the w-LAN adapter being burned. If everything: formatting, flashing downgrading... does not work, than maybe your adapter is burned:(
