There is a blinking envelope icon on the display of my Nokia device. Why? - Nokia FAQ

Average Rating

The blinking closed envelope icon indicates the SIM card message memory is full.

Select Menu > Messaging > Options > (View folders > Options) > SIM messages and delete one or more SMS messages.

 

Note 1: Class 2 messages (for example, service messages from operators) are stored in the SIM card message memory. Once the SIM card message memory is full, Class 2 messages can't be received. 

Note 2: You have used a Nokia S40 product before. In S40 products the SIM card message memory is filled before the device message memory. If you insert a SIM card with full message memory to another device, a blinking message icon appears on the display of your Nokia device.

Note 3: Other reason could be that there is not enough free memory available on the device to store the new message. To release a space go to Messaging > Inbox and remove unnecessary messages

Why does my Nokia E7 display stay black when I make or receive a call after the Symbian Anna update? - Nokia FAQ

Average Rating
The short-term solution is to open the slide and your display will be enabled again. 
 
Another workaround is to cover the proximity sensor for a second and uncover it after that. This will activate the screen. The proximity sensor is located in the top right corner of Nokia E7 device.
 
This has been fixed on Nokia Belle.

Why is the display name on messages I send from my Nokia device different from the name in my Hotmail web account? - Nokia FAQ

Average Rating

This is happening because the "My name" setting configured within the user's Nokia Messaging account does not match the name that's configured in the user's Hotmail web account.

Problem Solution

  1. On a computer, open up a web browser and go to: http://email.nokia.com.
  2. Enter in the User name and password.
  3. Select Login.
  4. Select Remove next to the user's Hotmail account.
  5. Select Remove.
  6. Select Add another.
  7. Enter in the user's Hotmail email address and password, but leave the "My name" field blank.
  8. Select Next.
  9. Select OK.

All outgoing emails sent from this user's Hotmail client via Nokia Messaging will now utilize the from/display name that's configured in the user's Hotmail web account.

Note: You may have issues using Chrome when accessing to the Nokia Messaging web site. We recommend using another browser instead.

Why did nothing appear on the display when I connected a charger to my device? - Nokia FAQ
