I purchased a Nokia N72 mobile 1 year ago.

I have seen couple of bugs. I don’t know how to fix them. Even I tried with the latest firmware upgrade. But that also did not help.

I found out a very annoying bug, when the battery becomes low, the call log feature becomes disabled it seems. So if you make calls, receive calls(yes including missed calls) those calls will not be registered in the phone. If you reboot the mobile (even without charging it), this problem is resolved. Any how this bug is not always reproducible.

Second bug is that if I start my camera after few seconds it automatically exits, wait, after few seconds again I get the camera view. Hmmm, so when I need to take a snap, I really can’t do that.

Another bug, I copied 25 mp3 songs to the memory card and afterwards opening the music player, crashes it. So I can’t use Music Player to play all the songs. I need to go to File Manager select a song and play it one by one.

Luckily I don’t have any problem while making the calls and receiving the calls

Has any one faced these problems?

I connected to internet using my Nokia N72 handset from my Fedora by activating Airtel Mobile Office.

Here is a small howto

• From your mobile (Symbian OS) select the menu “Settings | Tools | Packet Data” and make sure access point is “airtelgprs.com”

• Identify your mobile’s bluetooth address by running

$ hcitool scan Scanning … 00:1A:16:D1:xx:xx asdf

• First pair the mobile you want to use (Otherwise it won’t work)

• Find out which channel supports Dial up feature in your mobile phone by running and search for entry like

$ hciconfig browse <addr> Service Name: Dial-Up Networking Service RecHandle: 0×1000f Service Class ID List: “Dialup Networking” (0×1103) Protocol Descriptor List: “L2CAP” (0×0100) “RFCOMM” (0×0003) Channel: 3 ^^^^ Language Base Attr List: code_ISO639: 0×454e encoding: 0×6a base_offset: 0×100 Profile Descriptor List: “Dialup Networking” (0×1103)

• Create rfcomm device by

  $ rfcomm bind /dev/rfcomm0 <address> <channel>

• Just run wvdialconf to create default modem settings and update the settings as follows or use the following settings for /etc/wvdial.conf

  [Dialer Defaults] Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 stupid mode = 1 Modem Type = Bluetooth Modem = /dev/rfcomm0 Baud = 115200 New PPPD = yes ISDN = 0 Phone = *99***1# Username = a Password = b

• Now run wvdial to initiate connection

Note

You can also try kppp with the same settings.

Troubleshooting

• pppd daemon terminates unexpectedly

  • Check whether the accesspoint is properly set to airtelgprs.com

• rfcomm(x) connection refused

  • Pair the mobile with the laptop/computer
