Troubleshooting for Nokia E6-00

Maps v3.06 and later allow the downloading of map data directly to the device via Wi-Fi (WLAN) connection. No PC is needed in this case for transferring the map data.

Map data can be downloaded via Wi-Fi connection in the following way:

1. Check that you have a Wi-Fi access point defined in the connectivity settings of your device (added e.g. in the Internet destination group) and that you are under the Wi-Fi coverage.
2. Enter the Update or Map loader menu:
   
   • In Maps 3.06: Select Update in Maps main menu.
     
   • In Maps 3.08: Launch a separate Map loader application or select Maps > Settings (cogwheel icon) > Extras > Map loader.
     
   • In Maps 3.09: Launch Map loader or select Maps > Options > Map Loader.
3. Select Add new maps.
4. Select the continent and desired country.
5. Select Download.

After the map data has been downloaded, the maps on your phone are shown on the Update or Map loader page. You can check with Check for updates command if there's any updates available for your map data.

In case you use a device with integrated GPS receiver, please have a look into the manual of your device on the location of the GPS receiver. When using the GPS receiver, hold it upright in your hand at an angle of approximately 45 degrees, with a clear view of the sky. Make sure that your hand does not cover the GPS receiver. The time it takes to establish a GPS connection may vary between a few seconds and several minutes. Establishing a GPS connection in the car may take longer.

We recommend that you make use of Assisted GPS (A-GPS) to speed up the connection time for your GPS. A-GPS uses your mobile internet connection to connect to a Nokia server that tells your device which GPS satellites it will be able to connect to, substantially reducing the time taken to get a GPS fix.

If no satellite signal is found, consider the following:

• Check that your hand does not cover the GPS receiver.
• If you are indoors, go outdoors to receive a better signal.
• If you are outdoors, move to a more open space.
• If the weather conditions are bad or you are behind UV protected or heated windscreen, the signal strength may also be affected.

Note: The GPS operations take their power from the battery. Using an internal GPS receiver or a Bluetooth connection to an external GPS receiver may drain the battery faster.

Use the following guidelines to increase your battery life time:

• Turn Bluetooth off when you do not need it.
• Specify that your Nokia phone does not scan, or scans less often, for available Wireless LAN (WLAN) networks in the backround when you do not need WLAN connections (to turn off scanning, disable Show WLAN availability in Wireless LAN settings). 
• If you have set Packet data connection to When available in connection settings, and there is no packet data coverage (GPRS), your Nokia phone periodically tries to establish a packet data connection. To prolong the operating time of your Nokia phone, select Packet data connection > When needed.
• The Maps application downloads new map information when you scroll to new areas on the map, which increases the demand on battery power. Prevent the automatic download of new maps.
• If the signal strength of the cellular network varies much in your area, your Nokia phone must scan for the available network repeatedly. This increases the demand on battery power.  If the Network mode is set to dual mode in the network settings, the Nokia phone searches for the UMTS network. To use only the GSM network, select Network mode > GSM. 
• The backlight of the display increases the demand on battery power. In the display settings, you can change the time-out after which the backlight is switched off, and adjust the light sensor that observes lighting conditions and adjusts the display brightness.
• Leaving applications running in the background increases the demand on battery power. Close the applications you are not using.
• Turn off vibrate function of your Nokia phone, using just the ring tone.
• Avoid using moving or animated pictures or videos for your Nokia phone's background.
• Turn off your Nokia phone whenever you do not plan to answer any calls, for example while you are sleeping.

• Make sure your phone is running the latest software. For downloads and assistance, go to your local Nokia website's support page.

If the battery loses the power fast even though there is no features consuming the power, the battery may be wearing out and you need to replace it with a new one. 

Contact your operator immediately:

1. To block your SIM card.
2. To block your Nokia device (HW, IMEI code) to prevent it being used in the operator networks with any other SIM cards.  Note that not all operators provide this service (blocking device).

Note: Nokia customer support doesn't have the possibility to block the SIM card or the device, or track a stolen device.

To minimize the risks caused by the theft or loss of the device, there are some security features which you can enable in your device:

1. If your Nokia device supports phone autolock or security keyguard and you have turned it on, the phone cannot be accessed without entering a correct lock code. When enabling the autolock feature, it is important that you change the default lock or security code (12345) to your own lock code and don't forget this code.
2. Some Nokia devices support also remote locking. If you have enabled this feature, you can send a pre-defined text message to your device and lock it remotely. The device is locked if it is switched on and has your SIM card in it.

Note that the phone autolocking and remote locking cannot be enabled after the device has been lost, so it is important that you enable these security features already when taking the device in use.

Fully charge the battery of your phone. If your phone does not start charging, unplug the charging cable and plug it again into your phone. When fully charged, try to switch your phone on.

Íf your phone is still dead, please see the repair options at your local Nokia support pages.

Do the following: 

• Check that the SIM card is inserted properly.
• Check the signal strength that is indicated by the signal indicators at the left side of the Nokia phone's display. To increase your Nokia phone's signal strength, try moving your Nokia phone slightly, or move towards a window if you're calling from inside a building.
• If there is no network coverage at all, check the following:
  • you have not set your device to use 3G (UMTS) network only, use the dual mode (2G/3G) instead.
  • your phone is not in Offline or Flight mode.
• Restart your phone and recheck.
• Restart your phone to factory settings as described in your phone's user guide. Recheck.
• If you continuously experience low signal strength in a certain area, it may be that network coverage is insufficient there. Your network operator can provide you with more information on network coverage.
• If you believe that the problem may be with your Nokia phone instead of the network, contact your local Nokia Care point for inspection.

 If you cannot find or connect to another device using Bluetooth, check the following:

• Both devices have the Bluetooth turned on.
• The other device is not in Hidden mode, check this in Bluetooth application My phone's visibility.
• The distance between the two devices is not over 10 meters (33 feet) or there are no walls or other obstructions between the devices.
• You can try to turn off the Bluetooth in both devices and reconnect.
• Restart your device and retry.
• Make sure your device is running the latest software. For downloads and assistance, go to your local Nokia website's support page.
• Note: If the device you try to connect is made by other manufacturer, make sure it is compatible with your device in terms of Bluetooth standard. You may need to contact the manufacturer of that device for more assistance. To find out the Bluetooth version of your device, go to your local Nokia website, select the support page of your device and see the product technical specification.   

If the problem persists after the above actions, contact your local Nokia Care Point.

If you cannot connect the headset to the compatible phone, proceed as follows:

• Make sure that the Bluetooth feature is activated on the compatible phone.
• Make sure that the headset is switched on and paired with the compatible phone.
• Make sure that you have disconnected the previous Bluetooth connection from the phone.
• Check that the headset is within 30 feet (10 meters) of the phone and that there are no obstructions, such as walls, or other electronic devices between the headset and the phone.
• The pairing information list of the headset may be full. The headset can store the information of up to 8 phones at a time. If the list becomes full, reset the headset to the original settings (for detailed information on how to reset your headset, see the User Guide of the headset).
• If the headset does not automatically reconnect to the default or last user phone, press and hold the Answer/End key.

The calling phone number may not match with a contact name and the name is not shown in the following situations when an incoming call or SMS arrives:

• The contact is defined twice in the Contacts application (e.g. if both Phone memory and SIM memory contacts have been selected to be displayed in Contacts settings and the same contact is found in both of them).
• The same phone number is defined for two or more contacts.
• The phone number in Contacts application is in different format than the number received in the incoming call. The phone number may have been stored in local format while the incoming call number is in international format (including country prefix), or vice versa. The number may not be properly matched with a contact name in this situation, depending on the device variant and the length of the calling number. In order to verify the correct format of the contact phone number (local or international), check the number which is shown when the call is received and edit the contact details accordingly.

If the problem persists, make sure your Nokia device is running the latest software. For downloads and assistance, go to your local Nokia website.

Your Nokia device requests PIN (Personal Identification Number) and PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) codes to protect your SIM card and device against unauthorized use. Note that all PIN and PUK codes are provided by your network operator. Nokia is not able to provide you PIN or PUK codes.

Please note the following:

• When your insert your SIM card and boot up your device for the first time, you need to enter the PIN code. For security reasons it is recommended to change it to your own code, instructions on how to change the PIN code in your device is provided in the user guide or Nokia web site. If the PIN code is entered incorrectly multiple times, your device may request a PUK code to futher validate the user's identity and to unlock and change the blocked PIN code.
• The PIN2 code is a PIN code which acts as a second layer of protection for certain features of your phone.  If the PIN2 code is entered incorrectly multiple times, your phone may request a PUK2 code.

If you have forgotten or simply do not know the codes, you must contact your Network Operator for assistance. However, if you have already contacted but the code does not work, you should consider getting a new SIM card from your Network Operator.
