example, a commercial internet service provider (ISP) or

network service provider.

Q: Why do images look smudgy?

A: Ensure that the camera lens protection windows are

clean.

Q: Why do missing, discoloured, or bright dots

appear on the screen every time I turn on my

device?

A: This is a characteristic of this type of display. Some

displays may contain pixels or dots that remain on or off.

This is normal, not a fault.

connection?

A: Find more information about GPS, GPS receiver,

satellite signals, and location information in this user

guide.

See "Positioning (GPS)", p. 35.

Q: Why can’t I find my friend’s device while using

Bluetooth connectivity?

A: Check that both devices are compatible, have activated

Bluetooth connectivity, and are not in hidden mode.

Check also that the distance between the two devices is

not over 10 metres (33 feet) and that there are no walls

Q: Why can’t the other device see the files stored

on my device in the home network?

A: Make sure that you have configured the home network

settings, content sharing is turned on in your device, and

the other device is UPnP compatible.

Q: What can I do if my home network connection

stops working?

A: Switch off the wireless LAN (WLAN) connection from

your compatible PC and your device, and switch it on

again. If this does not help, restart your compatible PC and

your device. If the connection still does not work,

reconfigure the WLAN settings in both your compatible PC

and device.

See "Wireless LAN", p. 97.

See "Connection

settings", p. 153.

Q: Why can't I see my compatible PC in my device

in the home network?

A: If you are using a firewall application in your

compatible PC, check that it allows home media server to

use the external connection (you can add Home media

server to the firewall application's exceptions list). Check

from the firewall settings that the firewall application

allows traffic to the following ports: 1900, 49152, 49153,

and 49154. Some WLAN access point devices have a built-

in firewall. In such cases, check that the firewall in the

access point device does not block traffic to the following

ports: 1900, 49152, 49153, and 49154. Check that the

WLAN settings are the same in your device and

compatible PC.

Q: Why can't I see a wireless LAN (WLAN) access

point even though I know I'm within its range?

A: The WLAN access point may use a hidden service set

identifier (SSID). You can only access networks that use a

hidden SSID if you know the correct SSID, and have created

a WLAN Internet access point for the network on your

Nokia device.

Q: How do I switch wireless LAN (WLAN) off on my

Nokia device?

A: The WLAN on your Nokia device switches off when you

are not trying to connect, not connected to another access

point, or not scanning for available networks. To further

reduce battery consumption, you can specify that your

Nokia device does not scan, or scans less often, for

available networks in the background. WLAN switches off

in between background scans.
To change the background scan settings:

1.

Press

, and select

Tools

Q: How can I save my data before deleting it?

A: To save data, use Nokia Nseries PC Suite to make a back-

up copy of all data to a compatible computer; send images

to your e-mail address, then save the images to your

computer; or send data using Bluetooth connectivity to a

compatible device. You can also store data on a

compatible memory card.

Q: Why can’t I select a contact for my message?

A: The contact card does not have a phone number, an

address, or an e-mail address. Press

, select

Contacts

Q: How can I end the data connection when the

device starts a data connection again and again?
