Have just upgraded to a N80 after an unhappy year with a 6230i

N80 (aside from the shockingly bad battery life) seems a really good phone. Bizarrely on 31 Oct 2006 the Orange shop on Fleet Street sold me a version with v3 firmware which I quickly flashed to v4 via the Nokia website.  v4 is dated end of July so you would think an Orange shop would be selling the most up-to-date phones !  Perhaps predictably rather than bizarrely...

A question though about the "music library".  Having added a few files to my Mobymemory 2GB I dutifully went to "update library".  This hung (needed battery out to restart).  Subsequent attempts to update the library also hung.

I cured it by copying all the data off the card onto the PC, reformatting the card and copying the data back again (just the .mp3, .aac and .m4u files - not any of the system files which presumably included the corrupted library).  The phone then rebuild the library which cured the problem.

Does anyone know however where the N80 keeps its files for the music library ? A better way to deal with the problem might be to delete the library system file and ask the phone to rebuild the library without the hassle of reformatting the card.

thanks

Sorry to start a new question here but:

I have had a few cards (Nokia Official, Moby memory etc), however can all of you confirm that although you say the cards you are using are "compatible" with the N80, which of you can confirm that with these cards loaded up with over 300 jpg images (varying in size up to 1024x768) that the Gallery thumbnails and the actual photos show up correctly?

When I click on them they flash up with an un-optimised version of the photo and then change to the Boat Icon. If I zoom in they show up, so it has to be the phone trying to make thumbnails that is the problem.

I have over 10meg of internal memory free, and it is an o2 phone with the latest o2 Firmware (v4)

Are all of your gallery photos working correctly?

Cheers

Hi!

O.k, I'm using the Adata 1 gig card and although it is slow (and I mean Slooooooooow!) everything is working fine. I too used to get the sailing boats on my old Sandisk card, but everything I've taken since the install of the Adata has been fine. However, I regularly back up all my pics to the pc using Nokia PC Suite and even the ones that were boats on the phone came out o.k on the pc, but when I transfered some of the 'boat pics' back to the phone to the new memory card, they initially went to the messages inbox, where they were fine (hooray!) but when I saved them to gallery they reverted to being boats (boo!). Simple answer, just don't delete any potential boats from your inbox after you've saved them to the gallery, better still, don't bother putting them back in the gallery as this seems to be where the problem is lying. I don't get it, I can only tell you what's happened to me! Hope this helps.

yeah photos I take with the camera are fine.

Its just the ones I transfer from my pc to the phone having issues. Yet they display fine on the Pc. The weird thing is that also if I copy a non working photo to the phone memory from the card it works fine!

I think I may have a duff phone so looking into changing it. (its the only variable I have changed yet!)

Hi All,

I just got a Nokia N80 yesterday after using a Moto A1000 for over a year. I ordered a 150x 2GB mobymemory which arrived today! The memory is not recognised by the N80 nor my Sony Vaio. I would be surprised if it arrived broken tbh.

The firmware is apparently the latest already (checked on website):

v 4.0623.0.41

26-7-06

R.M.-92

Nokia N80 (45.02)

Where do I go from here? The supplied 128MB miniSD card works just fine in both machines. I am on a 3UK contract.
