When attempting to create a new contact entry by pressing the contact key for long, the contacts list opens.

Can I customize the right selection key on the home screen? - Nokia FAQ

Average Rating

Yes, you can customize the right selection key on your home screen of your touch device (e.g. Nokia N97, N97 mini, C6-00). By default the right selection key will launch the Contacts application but you can change it by editing the home screen content:

  • In home screen, select Options > Edit content.
  • Select Options > Right selection key.
  • Select either Application or Bookmark.
  • Select the desired application or bookmark from the list.
  • Select Exit.
  • Select Done.

You can assign an application or a web page to the right selection key.

Why does the certificate import fail with error "Private key corrupted"? - Nokia FAQ

Average Rating

When the user certificate is imported to Nokia Eseries device, e.g to be used for authentication with WLAN connections, content of the certificate is checked and if there are any issues with the certificate fields, importing of the certificate will fail and the error message "Private key corrupted" is shown.

One common situation where this issue may occur is if the KeyUsage field in the certificate has the nonRepudiation bit enabled. A certificate with nonRepudiation bit is rejected by Nokia Eseries devices because of the security reasons.

The workaround is to create a new user certificate where the nonRepudation bit is removed. The nonRepudiation bit is not necessary when doing a certificate based authentication e.g. in WLAN environments.

What can I do if Menu does not open when pressing Left Selection key? - Nokia FAQ

Average Rating

Menu option is by default set to Left Selection key. Sometimes the menu does not open though Left Selection key or Home key are pressed. The keys start to work after restarting the phone. The issue only appears when Menu option is selected for Left Selection key.

As a workaround solution change Left Selection key option to something else than Menu option. For example to clock.

Menu > Tools > SettingsGeneral Personalisation > Standby mode > Shortcuts > Left selection key > Instead on Menu select something else from the selection list.
